Chapter 2 Potential

"No..... I'm going to die... Please give me a break!"

In the empty training ground, a young man with a large amount of iron strapped to his body said breathlessly to the girl in front of him who was holding a wooden sword and constantly slapping him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Only when your body reaches its limit, the magic power in your body will transform and become more powerful," the girl said slowly and expressionlessly in the face of the young man who was already sweating profusely and was out of breath when he spoke, "Moreover, it was you who took the initiative to ask me to train you." ”

These two are none other than the 'Guardian Beast' Yu Ping, and his master, who is 'training' his fifth-order warrior Sharyl.

“... But I didn't expect your 'training' to be so perverted?" Yu Ping skillfully dodged Sharyl's attack while panting and protesting loudly: "And I haven't eaten breakfast yet! I'm so hungry!

"You... Want to give up?" Sharyl stopped the wooden sword in her hand and calmly said to Yu Ping, who was already tired at the moment: "If you have given up on becoming stronger....I will not force you to train." ”

"What are you kidding?!" Yu Ping heard this, ignoring his already sore limbs, forced himself to get up, looked at the girl in front of him, and said seriously: "I just want to take a break....I will never give up and become stronger!"

There was a reason why Yu Ping asked Sharyl to train herself....he clearly felt the difference between the strong and the weak in the world he was in now.

He didn't know what kind of person he was before, but now he was....his heart was filled with a strong longing.

The desire to be strong, the desire to be respected, the desire to be able to control one's own destiny.

Instead of being a weak person, constantly being ridiculed and despised by others....After learning that he could not successfully cultivate his magic power, the contempt and disdain in the eyes of Sharyl's 'clansmen' also stimulated Yu Ping's heart.

Although they have never laughed at Yu Ping head-on because of Sharyl's face....but he knows that if he can't become stronger, then sooner or later, he will be 'abandoned' by Sharyl..... no, even if Sharyl is unwilling to 'abandon' himself because of the contract and friendship, he will take the initiative to leave her because of shame and other factors.

At that time, as a 'weakling', where should I go in this strange world?

"So....I want to be stronger!" Yu Ping didn't notice a hint of surprise flashing in the girl's eyes, and still muttered to himself: "Become....strong enough, strong enough to gain a foothold in this world that I am unfamiliar with." ”

"Then, I'm afraid you'll have to put in more effort than the others," Sharyl interrupted Yu Ping's self-talk with the wooden sword in her hand, and said coldly, "Because, you don't have the talent to absorb magic....not at all." ”

"But, I have something else, don't I?" Yu Ping easily dodged Sharyl's slash again, but his steps became heavy with the exhaustion of his physical strength.

"Yes...."Sharyl stopped the wooden sword in her hand again, and slowly said to the young man in front of her, who was already struggling to maintain his feet, "Although the 'quantity' of the magic power in your body has not grown in the slightest....its 'quality' has increased rapidly. ”

"That's why I'm willing to continue training you," she paused, and continued, "You're getting stronger at a very alarming rate. ”

"Thank you for the compliment," Yu Ping smiled weakly, "It's not easy to get your compliment..."

"I'm just telling the truth....I'll stop here in the morning. ”

Before she finished speaking, Yu Ping, who was barely standing, had already fainted to the ground.

"What a fantastic fellow......"

Sharyl discovered this on the first day of training..... the young man standing in front of her, her 'Natal Guardian Beast', has a very strong learning ability....and that strange physique.

Except for the 'talent' that has no magic absorption at all, all the other abilities of this young man named Yu Ping can be described as metamorphosis.

Whether it was the fighting skills, or the growth of his physical fitness..... and what surprised Sharyl the most was that the speed of transformation of the 'quality' of the magic power in his body was far beyond her imagination.

After training for less than a week, the magic power in Yu Ping's body had been condensed into a very pure mass, and its purity was even close to his own magic power.

Although it is still far inferior to itself in terms of quantity, it is even relatively speaking, the 'quantity' of its magic power is to itself like the difference between a drop of water and a lake.

But this is already a very terrifying result....you must know that since Shariel began to cultivate her magic power, she has always paid great attention to the 'quality' of her magic power, rather than just caring about the 'quantity' of her magic power.

"I'm looking forward to it...."Sharyl bent down and picked up Yu Ping, who had fainted due to exhaustion, and said to herself, "How strong can you become in the future?"

Yu Ping was awakened by hunger..... and when he woke up, he found himself lying on the soft big bed in his room, next to a cute little girl about eight or nine years old with a double ponytail looking at him.

"Hello, little princess Cheryl," Yu Ping got up and greeted the little girl, "Why did you think of coming to my room?

This little girl is Sharyl's sister and the youngest child of the entire Roland family....because of her cute appearance and personality, almost everyone spoils her.

"Are you awake?" After the little girl saw Yu Ping sit up, she stood up on the chair like an adult, patted Yu Ping on the shoulder and said, "I'm optimistic about you....come on, work harder, maybe you won't be beaten directly when you confess to the second sister next time..."

Yu Ping: "..... you misunderstood. ”

"Well~Don't be shy~" Cheryl said with a look that everyone understood: "Didn't you be beaten by the second sister because of your failed confession, and you fainted....but..."

"I'll tell you...."Cheryl leaned her cute little face close to Yu Ping's ear, and said mysteriously, "I've never seen the second sister care so much about other men.......so you still have a chance!"

"Hehe..."Yu Ping felt a little bitter smile, rubbed Cheryl's little head, and didn't stop until he was about to bite that sinful big hand, and then continued to smile and said, "So what are you doing here?"

"....I must tell Sister Sharyl!" Little Lori ignored Yu Ping's question and threatened him angrily: "Tell her that you bully me!"

"I'm sorry~ because Cheryl is so cute~" Yu Ping smiled at the little Lori who had a round face because of anger: "Please forgive me~"

"Hmph....don't think that I won't sue if you praise me!" The expression on Cheryl's face had changed from annoyance to obvious joy, but she still deliberately said in an angry tone: "It's not Sister Sharyl....she asked me to look at you....let me remind you after you wake up..."

She pointed to a few pieces of bread that Yu Ping had ignored until now, some jerky and a pot of liquid that was supposed to be juice and continued.

"After eating this, go to the council chamber and look for her. ”

"Thank you," Yu Ping thanked Cheryl, feeling a little strange at the same time.

The council chamber, where Sharyl's father, Dirk Roland, the current patriarch of the Roland family, summoned some high-ranking clansmen in the clan to vote when he made certain decisions, why did Shariel go there by herself?

But soon he put aside his thoughts for a moment....his stomach rumbled at the temptation of food, reminding him that it was time to eat.

"Well~ since you're awake now...."After hearing the screams of Yu Ping's stomach, Cheryl also chuckled, and while jumping towards the door, she turned her head and said, "Then I'll go somewhere else~ Don't forget to go to the council hall after eating!"

"Hmm... Okay," Yu Ping said to Cheryl with an uneasy look at the door after swallowing the bread in his mouth, "I won't forget the past." ”

"Don't forget!" Little Lori repeated again, "Sister Sharyl specially advised!"

"Got it....I won't forget!" Yu Ping waved at Cheryl, indicating that he had memorized it clearly.

At the same time, inside the chamber.

"I'm against it!"

An old man dressed in gorgeous costumes shouted at Sharyl, "Give the 'Magic Fruit' to your 'Guardian Beast' that has no magical growth at all....that is a complete waste!"

"Even if you are the daughter of the head of the family, you have absolutely no right to waste the family's resources!" agreed the other people in fine clothes at the long flat conference table.

"I've said it..... I think my 'guardian beast' is Yu Ping," Sharyle ignored the old man who spoke out against him, and only looked at the middle-aged man at the end of the conference table who was also looking at him without expressing any opinion, and said slowly, "Have enough 'potential' to become a strong man." ”

"So, I request that one of these soon-to-mature 'magic fruits' be given to him....what do you think?Father!"

"It's obvious that your 'guardian beast' doesn't have magical powers...."The middle-aged man, Sharyl's father, finally spoke up under her inquiry.

"In this case... Giving him a 'magic fruit' is a complete waste, and even if you were my daughter, I wouldn't approve of such a thing. ”

Sharyl's heart was cold, and she felt like her request was going to fail.

"But... Now that you have spoken," just as Sharyl was about to turn around and leave the place, the middle-aged man spoke again: "I can give you a chance to prove what you said." ”

"What am I going to do?" asked Sharyl, pausing the halfway step she had just taken, turning to her father.

"It's easy, defeat any of the user's chosen 'Mana Fruits'....Of course, I'm not talking about you. ”

"It's about....what you say, you have enough 'potential' to become a strong man, Yu Ping. ”
