Chapter 28 Learning The First Technique 1

Seeing Elke and Lothur stop in a secluded spot, the woman with brown hair and a green dress chasing them hid behind the trunk of a tree and watched them from afar.

'Who is this woman? Could she be a colleague of his? Or maybe an acquaintance from when he was still single?' She bit her lower lip, beginning to feel worried.

But as she watched them from afar, her brown eyes suddenly witnessed shameless behavior that she could hardly believe a woman could accept in broad daylight.

'What a little bitch!'

'How does she allow this?' Her beautiful face turned red as her nails left marks on the trunk in front of her.

At that instant, this stalker of Lothur was watching how he hugged Elke and kissed her on the lips. Only as he did so, one of his hands was squeezing something he should not have, making this woman feel angry that such a redhead had no sense of self-respect.

And when she saw his following action, she almost exploded in anger and ran towards them.

'Bastard!'

'Scoundrel!'

'How can you do this to my older sister!' Annaliese internally screamed as she saw Lothur kissing Elke's neck without caring where they were.

After her class ended, Lothur's sister-in-law went out to look for this young man. However, upon not finding him in Sector-1, Annaliese had followed some directions from classmates of those two and managed to find them at the place she had indicated to him earlier.

Finally, she decided to follow them from the shadows to determine if that was the woman Lothur had previously been with.

With that, she could at least act against him to save the honor of her family and sister.

But now that she saw her brother-in-law's immoral behavior, this woman was in a situation where she did not know what to do.

She felt that she should stop hiding and confront those two to end that adulterous relationship once and for all. However, her rational side told her that it was better to be more discreet and keep this matter as private as possible.

So, she clenched her hands in hatred, leaving several marks on that trunk as she held herself back from doing something eye-catching.

'Lothur, you will pay me!'

'You think you can go around wooing women as you please? No, I'll talk to my sister later today so she can put some limits on you, you beast!' So she thought decidedly before finally leaving that place in silence.

...

"So, what did you think?" Lothur smiled at Elke as he saw sweat dripping from that woman's face after using a specific massage technique on her he had learned on Earth.

He naturally had not done anything too intimate since they were in a public place, where kissing was already the limit of how far they could go.

But for a man who had had vast experience in such matters in his previous life, Lothur knew a thing or two about satisfying a woman without even taking off her clothes or touching certain parts.

"Lothur..." She looked at him amidst her irregular breathing, feeling as if her expectation had not been disappointed but met with a wide positive margin. "That was even better than I had thought..."

"What did you do to me? Is that some secret technique?"

"Hehe, you can say that." He smiled as he watched her closely. "Anyway, it's almost time for me to return home, so let's say goodbye around here."

"Do you come home every day?" She asked in surprise, considering that a large portion of the students at this academy stayed at least a few days a week in the dormitory of this institution.

Many of these disciples were nobles, but their organizations were not located in Peters City. And as much as some powers could afford residences for their members, a significant portion of the students preferred to stay at the academy, where most of their acquaintances and interests were.

Considering this, upon discovering that Lothur did not stay in the dormitory of the Morning Star Academy, Elke was interested in finding out which of the local families he belonged to.

"Well, yes. I have some responsibilities, and I always have to return after the academy." He commented, but without revealing any further details. "What about you? Do you stick around here often?"

"Oh? Oh, no, my family is based here in Peters City. Our property is on the south side of the city..."

"Is that so?"

"Well, it's a shame. It would be nice to have a more private place in this academy..." He said in a low voice. "But unfortunately, I won't get something like that."

"Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow, Elke." He kissed one of her cheeks before turning and running towards where Annaliese should be waiting for him.

"Bye..." Elke sighed, thinking about Lothur's last words.

...

After his earlier farewell, Lothur quickly reached the carriage that this time had not left without him from the local academy.

However, upon entering that means of transportation, the silver-haired young man found a grumpy Annaliese, who did not even greet him.

Even after a few minutes of traveling face to face, she did not try to talk to him even once, leaving him with a strange feeling in his being since he knew how much she liked to talk.

In fact, all she had shown that indicated that she was not totally ignoring him was the movement of her nose when she had checked the scent coming from Lothur.

But she did this for only a few seconds and said nothing to the young man before her, having become more irritated after such an action.

In the end, they both went their separate ways as they arrived at the Frost family estate without saying anything to each other.

As he watched with an uncertain expression that woman disappearing amidst the buildings in that area, Lothur sighed deeply and decided to go ahead with his plans.

'I don't know what happened to Annaliese, but that can wait.'

'I'm going to my room to study some of those techniques, and later I'll find a quiet place to test them out!' He clenched his fists and ran to his room.

...

Upon arriving in his room, Lothur immediately used his spatial ring to retrieve the three memory crystals containing the techniques purchased earlier.

[Cross Walk] [Rank: Iron]

[Mastery level: ****]

[Description: move up to twice as fast as ordinary people of your level and double these results with each advancement in mastery. Increases the user's Agility effects by 10% and Constitution effects by 5% while activated.]

...

[Steel Body] [Rank: Iron]

[Mastery level: ****]

[Description: temper your body to the extreme and obtain the strength and toughness needed by living shields. Increases the effects of the user's Constitution by 10% while activated.]

...

[Art of Tearing Down Trees] [Rank: Iron]

[Mastery Level: ****]

[Description: use your muscles to their limit while wielding the glorious combat ax to bring down your enemies as poor, defenseless trees. Increases the user's Strength effects by 5% while activated.]

...

Luthor felt the teachings of each of the techniques in his mind, as he constantly saw the system messages appearing in front of him.

And noting those descriptions that told him more of the remarkable effects of the techniques than the contents themselves in the memory crystals, Lothur began to plan what to do now.

'That attack technique one can't train without a proper weapon, so I'll leave it to look at that another day.'

'On the other hand, my body is weak right now. So, even if I have a good defense, it will be useless if the enemy attack is enough to injure me seriously.' He looked at the floor of his room and decided to start learning the movement technique.

'With the Cross Walk, I will at least be able to improve my speed and dodging, which can make a big difference in a fight.'

Agility refers to the whole body's ability and not just the hands, as in the case of Dexterity. And as such, enriching this characteristic could cause better defensive results since dodging, balance, and reaction speed was improved, generating a benefit for him.

On the other hand, the quality inherent to the body, health, and physical Constitution generated a person's resistance, something related to speed, drug resistance, pain, vitality, etc.

Hence, learning this movement technique seemed more important to the desperate Lothur.

That could very well be the only way for him to defend himself when something similar to the previous night's incident happened again!

With this in mind, he changed his clothes and headed towards the corridor where his room was located to run towards the training floors of this estate.

But seeing that place half dark and empty, a gleam appeared in his eyes, and then he tested something.

Cross Walk!

As he followed the directions left by the memory crystal, Lothur felt something strange in his body and then tried to run.

'Uh?'

...
