I watched as Vaner's back disappeared behind the doors. A few more monts filled with the sound of his steps, and then the silence returned back to the mansion.
'Dual Cultivation, was it?' I thought, unable to stop the excitent at the sheer thought of the idea.
From one side, it was the most pleasant way of cultivating. On the other side, the idea of casual intercourse focused on growth rather than the act itself has its charm as well.
Obviously, those were just stray thoughts born out of my horny nature as a young adult, not sothing that I would ever actively pursue.
Because now, I had Mia by my side. And whatever my montary fetishes would be would never turn to be more important or exciting than the prospect of holding this one, particular girl close.
"Still, just one week left, huh?" I muttered, casting all the stray thoughts aside and focusing on the matter at hand.
In a single week, the audit will start. This audit would be my first chance to bring Mia out of this sect where there was soone actively targeting her.
I wasn't naive enough to believe that the lack of attacks on or the girl over the past week ant that we were now safe. Rather than that, I was inclined to believe that instead of throwing so haphazard sches, Jenne was busy cooking up a massive action.
As such, there was no ti for to waste on anything but preparations!
"Why are you so pressed to keep on training?" Mia suddenly asked, erging from the shadow of the room.
Ever since my talk with Vaner, I forgot about her presence. Only now, when she willingly made herself known, I realised that she likely heard it all. "Anyone with brain rather than trash in their head could see how much you achieved already," she said, approaching only to wrap her hands around my chest and hug closely. "Rather than having you train so much, I would have you embrace every night for longer," she added in a soft whisper.
"It's all because I think I will be able to enter the Core Establishnt stage before the audition starts," I explained, caressing the back of Mia's head.
"Wait, what?!"' Mia barely managed to suppress her shout, raising her face and looking at with her eyes wide open. "So quickly?!" she shouted, no longer able to hold down her voice.
"Yeah," I nodded my head.
Judging from my current rate of progress, I could safely claim to fill all the gauges of my status before the end of the next week. What's more, with both my tailoring and cooking job rising steadily over the past week, I now had so aces hidden in my sleeve, allowing to even consider the idea of breaking through.
"I guess I will go back to training then," Mia smiled uneasily, overwheld by my announcent. From the lack of self-confidence in her eyes, I could tell that she feared the idea of leaving her behind.
"Don't worry about it, dear," I instantly said, unwilling to let this fear fester in her soul. "The only reason why I try so hard is to be strong enough to stop anyone from stealing you from !" I said, pulling Mia back for yet another hug.
A deep union of our lips later, Mia finally managed to wrestle herself free out of my arms.
"I'm going to train now," she said in a decisive voice, her face no longer poisoned by the uncertainty. "Just like you want to be able to protect , I want to be able to protect you," she said before a lovely smile appeared on her lips. "anwhile, how about you take a real break?" she proposed.
"Actually, that's sothing that I had on mind for a while," I admitted, looking towards the mansion's exit.
While getting out of the sect would be a road through hell after the incident at the arena, I still had quite a few things to do in town.
Getting the next batch of the stones included so that we could keep our training rate going.
"Then let's et once we are done with our respective tasks," Mia said, blessing with a quick peck to my cheek before quickly running away to our private garden.
With nothing better to do, I followed my words and moved out of the mansion. And just as expected, the second I stepped into the outside world, I could feel waves upon waves of scorn and ridicule wash at my face.
"Look, it's that shaless trash,' soone whispered, actually trying to hide their voice from my ears.
"I heard he didn't even realize he was duped into taking responsibility for the punch that wasn't his!" soone else claid, not bothering to hide their malicious intent and voice whatsoever.
Thankfully, I long grew used to this kind of treatnt. Ever before reincarnating to this world, I acquired the ability to allow all kinds of remarks like that to simply wash down my back, not even affecting my mood whatsoever.
Still, being personally aware of just how misguided they gave so degree of personal satisfaction, an unspoken vendetta that only I could enjoy for now.
Thankfully, my new lodging wasn't that far away from the boundary of the sect. As such, I only had to endure the scornful remarks for a short while before moving through the gate in the mountain and reaching the town.
It was ti to do so shopping and idea hunting!
No matter what, I had to find a way to make more money. While I still had a sizeable fortune in my account, given the rate at which both I and mia consu the spirit stones, it was only a matter of ti before I would end up deprived of them.
With only a week remaining before the true audition would begin, I couldn't allow myself any slack, especially if it would be caused by a lack of resources rather than my internal choice!
