Mixed Blessing System

After saying goodbye to Annaliese, Lothur used the morning classes to rest and read some books in the Sector-1 library. In such a place, he had almost entirely come into contact with the materials stored there.

So now he had another reason to move up a sector within this institution!

With this in mind, he made his way to the administration of Sector-1 to see some of the problems related to his ascension within this academy.

However, halfway to that place, Lothur came across a group of three people, two men and a woman wearing Sector-3 uniforms.

They all had solemn expressions on their faces, looking at Lothur as if he had raped their mothers right in front of them.

"Lothur Ritter..." One of them, Merten, said in a low voice, but one charged with absolute hatred.

Seeing this, Lothur stopped his way and watched them momentarily. "Are you admiring my looks or what?"

He looked at the two men and made a disgusted expression. "Sorry, I'm not interested in men. So, can you please stop staring at me?" Then, he looked at the woman. "But this beauty here is not bad..."

As the two men began to turn red with anger, he winked at that woman. "Beauty, why are you with these losers? Come with me, and I'll show you what a real man can do."

"Bastard!" The man next to Merten jumped in front of Lothur, ready to take down this daring mortal.

But before he could hit Lothur with a punch, Merten managed to stop his brother. "Idiot! We're inside the academy!"

The woman, who had lost her cold expression for one of embarrassment, then looked at Lothur with disdain in her eyes. "You are a good-for-nothing despicable as the rumors say!"

"I can hardly believe that there is someone as hateful as you!"

But Lothur just smiled at her. "That is a common opinion, but it only lasts until you prove what I have..."

"Hehe, anyway, I can take care of you later, beauty." He then looked at Merten. "What do you want with me? Haven't I already made it clear that I will only fight you in the competition for the Secret Realm slots?"

"Have you by any chance gone senile and forgotten?"

"What a son of a..." Merten's younger brother trembled in anger, feeling that if he did not teach this fellow a lesson, he might have a nervous breakdown.

As for that Baier family beauty, she looked at Lothur in astonishment. 'How can a mortal be so bold in front of cultivators? What's wrong with him?'

Merten closed his eyes momentarily and tried to calm himself. 'Lothur, turn yourself over to my family for your crimes, and we won't cause any trouble for other people. Otherwise, everyone in your surroundings will suffer from now on!"

"Crimes?" Lothur curiously looked at Merten. "May I know which crimes are these that I have committed? Do you know? I have done many things in my life up to this point. So, I may have forgotten about this problem..."

"Did I happen to steal one of your girlfriends? Maybe I slept with her?" He winked at the woman next to Merten, mischievously grinning. "It wouldn't be strange for something like that to happen, after all, with that face of yours..."

This time, Merten was the person who almost lost his patience and made a mistake.

"Don't listen to him, Merten! This bastard is just trying to get into your mind! Think about it!" The beautiful woman said this as she tightly held one of this fellow's shoulders.

Lothur laughed at that as he noticed that people were already in the surroundings watching in their direction.

After swallowing his anger with difficulty, Merten said. "Lothur, don't play dumb. I know you are after what happened to our young master!"

"Surrender and admits your crimes, or prepare for the consequences! We don't care if you are part of the Frost family. Even they will have to endure our wrath if you don't make this!" He said while his eyes were red with anger.

"Oh? Did I do something against your young master?" Lothur laughed as if surprised. 'Have they already figured that out? So quickly?'

He then winked at that woman and asked. "By the way, who is your young master? I don't pay attention to every child in Sector-1..."

"Bastard!" Merten's brother saw how shameless Lothur was.

She then said. "Don't play the fool. You know we are related to Alric!"

"Is that so? I'm surprised that you two belong to the same family..."

"Tsk!"

Lothur heard the sounds that Merten and his brother were making and asked. "So? What did I do against Alric? As far as I remember, I only talked to him once when he challenged me."

"You wretched bastard!"

"You know very well what we're talking about! You are the one who crippled our young master!" Merten said such a thing, even though he was not sure about that.

The Baier family had already received the tip-off from the Mouse Company about the suspicion regarding Lothur.

The core of this noble house not yet considered him the prime suspect, but when Merten found out about such a thing, he immediately decided to put pressure on this fellow.

If it genuinely were Lothur, he might feel pressured and reveal the whole truth. After all, unlike them, the silver-haired young man was an idiot good-for-nothing...

So, Merten had bluffed!

"Is that so?" Lothur laughed. "And how did I do that? Is your cousin by any chance so frail as to have been beaten by a mortal?"

Hearing this, the two beside Merten could not help but look at their leader, curious to know the reason for his suspicions about Lothur.

'That person is hateful, but how would he do that?' The woman there looked at Lothur in doubt.

Merten boiled with anger at seeing Lothur's reaction and made another threat. "If you don't come with me by the end of class today, I will come after you, Lothur!"

"Do you think you are safe here? Let's see what you'll do when you're out of the academy or your wife's house!"

"Oh? I want to see you try." A female voice came from among the several people already observing the situation around the square they were.

Upon hearing that tone, Lothur immediately recognized that woman. "Becca!" He said as he saw the green-haired beauty approaching him.

Rebecca, the student of the poison master career, whom Lothur had met before, smiled at him and then focused her attention on Merten. "Brat Baier, if you dare to touch a strand of my little friend's hair without having solid evidence, prepare to deal with my poison."

"What?" Merten almost cried in injustice at seeing this woman from Sector-6, one of the few students who was already about to graduate from this academy later this year.

'That woman... Why is this poisonous bitch defending him?' Merten looked warily at Lothur, shocked by this turn of events.

'Damn it!'

'Even if this woman is just a poison master and has a dubious reputation, she can still become a great expert in the province!'

'I can't take issue with her just because of this damn kid!'

"Tsk!"

"Let's go!" He said to his companions, looking coldly at Lothur and then at Rebecca.

After they left, Lothur smiled at the beauty in front of him and said. "Becca, what are you doing here? Did you miss me and decide to come after me?"

"Yes, that's right." She decided to play with him. "Lucky for you, I came at a good time, no?"

"Maybe..." He walked back toward his goal, with her following closely behind him. "If you're curious to know, I've already learned the basics of your profession."

"Already?" She stopped her movement and looked at him in surprise. "Have you started training your body?"

"Hmmm. I took a bath like the one before and also ingested something special that I prepared myself."

"You what?" She took one of his wrists and made him face her. "Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death? A beginner like you shouldn't take risks like that!"

He liked to see the concern in her eyes and answered her. "I've already been poisoned by unknown substances and survived. So, why not take a chance with something known? I knew what I was doing..."

"Naive!"

"You don't know how your resistance works! Doing this is like betting on your life!" She lectured him, angry at how he was risking himself. 'Idiot! If you do that, it will be impossible for you to help me...'

"Well, on that account, I've already achieved another advance in my resistance to poisons. At my current pace, I might get to 2-stars before I even take the 1-star test." He spoke in a confident tone.

"Tsk!"

"You are a confident fool!" She then sighed in defeat. "Anyway, since you've already learned the basics and started training your body, come see my master when you have questions. I spoke to her, and she saw no problem receiving you."

"You must be out of materials to continue training, right? I'll give you more stuff when you come to see us."
