Chapter 51: CH 51

David let out a long breath. He felt that his actions were actually still too flawed this time.

However, due to the existence of the Shadow Servant, he had an alibi. There was no concrete evidence of his deeds this time.

Of course, if he was an ordinary person, he would have already been taken away by the military police to assist in the investigation. Regardless of whether he was the culprit or not, the military would still have to put him through a trial.

Although Hans’ Statesman title did not provide any real or direct benefit to David, the fact that David was the descendant of a statesman was enough for the military to consider the implications when treating him.

Just as David thought about it, he received another alert from the identity bracelet in his hand.

It turned out that another 24 hours had passed. He was now able to absorb and fuse a new Knowledge Orb.

Of course, now, there was only one Knowledge Orb left, which was the Spear Mastery (99% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb. It was ranked the highest among all the Knowledge Orbs he had ever received.

It was a little superior to the Electronic Warfare Retaliation (98% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb, but Spear Mastery was a combat ability. Hence, it was even more difficult to achieve than Electronic Warfare Retaliation.

“Shadow Servant, fuse the Spear Mastery (99% Proficiency) Knowledge Orb!” David commanded telepathically as he pressed his hand on the Shadow Servant’s body.

He then sensed the dark yellow Knowledge Orb moving into his body. There was a flash in his eyes. Subsequently, he appeared in an arena.

The body in his vision was continuously doing the same thing with the spear in his hand—stabbing.

David felt the energy flowing through his body and mobilizing all his muscles and bones with a simple thrust.

It was almost like a moment of non-stop stabbing. The spear let out an ear-piercing screech when it pierced through the air—as if it was being cut.

It was as though the movements would never stop. However, David could not control his body and could only passively feel it.

After some time, perhaps five years or more, the body in his illusion was still stabbing.

However, there were no more sounds when the spear was thrust this time around. At the end of each thrust, there would be some white mist at the tip of the spear. The air was compressed by the thrust and turned into smoke because of the heat that was released at the instant that the thrusting stopped.

Following that, the illusion finally shifted, and there was a battle against some Bugs. Unlike the Double-Sworded Armorer in the illusion he had yesterday, the Spear Armorer today had never fought alone and usually had several companions to assist him in each battle.

At this moment, David finally understood why the Spear Armorer would not fight alone. It was because the combat style of Spear Armorers was to attack and stab continuously without dodging or defending themselves. If there was no protection from other armorers, the Spear Armorers would have died countless times with their combat style.

The illusion ended after hundreds of battles. In fact, David had already mastered the knowledge of spears in the previous practice. The subsequent battles were more of knowledge about how to fight alongside companions.

Coming out of the illusion, David frantically looked at the time on his identity bracelet, only to realize that only 10 minutes had passed. He couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

The stabbing and thrusting practice made him think that he had actually spent a few years doing it. Regardless of the number of battles with the Bugs in the illusion, it was all better than the stereotypical and mundane practice.

Sensing the emptiness in the Shadow Servant’s body, David couldn’t help but find it a pity that the dead Mr. Strat was shot from a faraway spot by a long-range sniper cannon. As a result, he couldn’t even harvest Mr. Strat’s soul.

However, he soon realized that he was not in the right frame of mind. That was his first attempt at murder, and yet, he did not feel guilty at all. Instead, he was leisurely practicing at home and even regretting the fact that he could not absorb the soul of his victim, Mr. Strat.

He entered the bathroom and stood before the mirror to look at himself.

He had a youthful face and skin that was full of collagen, short blond hair, blue eyes, and the appearance of a teenager.

However, he also noticed that there was a tinge of indifference in his eyes, which was an indifference to life.

That was the influence of the fusion of the Knowledge Orbs. David had no idea whether the influence was good or bad, but he knew that becoming stronger was fundamental to survival in this world. He would never, ever, regret fusing the Knowledge Orbs.

Even though Mr. Strat was dead, the organization that was behind him was still existing. A big businessman like Mr. Strat from Pelan City was only an outsider of the organization. One can imagine how terrifying the organization was.

According to Trainer Jeremy’s words, the organization took the title of ‘Statesman’ very seriously. Hence, David thought that perhaps, the enemy would resort to other methods to deal with him and his father, Hans, next.

After David woke up in the morning of the next day, he switched on his identity bracelet out of habit and checked the situation outside the residence.

That was a routine that he had been performing every day since he started getting spied on. In particular, with the enhanced security system of the residence, he could not have a 360-degree view of everything around the entire residence.

A military hovercar caught his attention, and the other party seemed to have no intention of hiding as it was parked right in front of David’s residence.

David looked through the car window and saw that it was the stubborn Staff Sergeant Amory, whom he knew, seated in the driver’s seat.

David casually activated Maron’s contact number and the call was connected after he waited for two seconds.

“David, you called me so early in the morning!” Maron exclaimed, sounding rather confused. It seemed that he was not fully awake yet.

“Maron, it’s already six o’clock and you’re still in bed. Did you forget Uncle Galen’s request!?!” David exclaimed in displeasure.

“Well, I got a great shock yesterday, so I slept for a little longer today!” Maron freshened up as soon as he heard Galen’s name. He smiled embarrassedly and changed the subject. “David, did something happen?”

“Staff Sergeant Amory’s military hovercar is parked on the street right outside my house. I don’t know what he’s trying to do,” David said as he sent a photo captured by the surveillance camera, to Maron.

“That’s it?” Maron laughed, then said, “I know about this, I just forgot to tell you about it yesterday. The military needs to make a statement. There is a military hovercar outside my home as well, not to mention yours. Before the investigation team sent from the higher-ups come to a final conclusion, they will have to know our whereabouts. Of course, this is only a superficial gesture. Think about it, if the military really does not want you to know that they are keeping tabs on you, would they have sent Staff Sergeant Amory to park the car in such a conspicuous manner outside your home?”

“I’ll stay home for a few days then. It’s such a pity, though. I was originally planning to go to the shooting range with you!” David said with a sigh.

“I’ll be cooped up at home for a few days as well. It shouldn’t take long. I’ll make arrangements for our outing to the shooting range, and by then, I’ll show you how I shoot!” Maron said with a chuckle.

In the few days that he was being taught by Galen, he had suffered a huge blow because of David.

It could be said that throughout the entire tutorial period, David practiced on his own while Maron was constantly being put through harsh training and lectured by Galen.

David had never used guns before, and going to the shooting range was likely the only rare opportunity that he had to beat David down. Thus, he was even more enthusiastic than David was.

David disconnected and stopped bothering about the situation outside. It was better with Staff Sergeant Amory around as he at least, would not have to worry about any danger during this period of time.

With the military watching, he could be considered to be protected by the military. Even if the organization changed their minds, it still wouldn’t be easy to deal with him, and they would at least proceed with their plans, only until the military had left.

Time passed, day after day, and Staff Sergeant Amory and another staff sergeant took turns to guard outside David’s residence at all times.

David was rather busy. The first thing he did when he woke up in the morning was to practice the eighteen movements of Bodywork, followed by the Warhammer, Heavy-axe, Spear, Longsword, and Shield. For that, he had also purchased a heavy-axe, a spear, a longsword, and a shield for practice.

He did not use a Level 2 longsword to practice his Longsword Mastery. It was because he did not want to accidentally demolish his home. Whenever a Level 2 longsword touched a spot in his home, it would easily cut it.

Other times, it was still necessary for him to enter the virtual world in the medium-sized server to practice his sniper trajectory calculations and analysis. He would then have to practice the eighteen movements of Bodywork again before going to bed at night.

It was already the 17th of January by the time he finished the last portion of the Level 1 strengthened meat.

The military surveillance personnel stayed put, making David think that something had gone wrong in that case. However, after contacting Maron, he learned that the military investigation team that had arrived in Pelan City had gotten into a mishap because they got attacked by Class 2 Bugs.

The military was deploying manpower to go after the Class 2 Bugs. They currently had no time to work on David’s case which was almost settled.

Besides, Staff Sergeant Amory did not receive orders to return. Hence, he could only remain put outside David’s residence.
