66 chapter 66
After Lucas sent Alvida to her room and promised to meet later. Lucas didn't go to train. Today he would request his graduation and get his official rank.
But first, Lucas has something to do. On the ice island. Other than the bear he killed and the few ten rabbits. There still tens and tens of beasts left alive, each can give an amount of XP that exceeds ten thousand. Lucas decided to clear and capture all of the beasts alive, good XP cows are rare nowadays.
The stronger Lucas becomes, the higher the quality of XP cows he needs.
Lucas went to the beach where no one was present, he jumped and started to kick the air. Since his moonwalk reached level 8, kicking the air became less exhausting, faster and smoother. When he reached enough height, Lucas used Shave with Moonwalk and his figure became blurry.
He still remembers the direction Garp's warship took so Lucas was confident in his sense of direction.
Lucas could run on the water and reach his destination faster, but he chose to fly. This is the grand line where the water holds unexpected things. So it's better to play safe.
While flying in the air, Lucas remembered some cow. " if only Lucci was here, I would have a comfortable trip". But sea kings were around which made it a dangerous trip for her.
Suddenly Lucas thought of something, " Maybe, I can use my skills as a teacher to teach Haki, and maybe even the six powers " Lucas thought about it, with the gigantic size of sea monsters, if she really learned that, then she may become an unstoppable force.
*Pff* *Pff*
After a couple of hours.
Lucas was under snowy clouds, the cold weather and the shadow of the white land made him know that this was the island, then he descended to the ground and landed on one frozen lake.
Lucas was alone, he closed his eyes and unleashed his Haki to scan the place. Within his mind, everything was dark, the snow started to feel as it became red, as for alive creatures, they looked like white shadows. Lucas was feeling every presence in his Haki's range. Lucas started to get the location of rabbits and wolves den. Even when some of them were hiding, Lucas could feel their location.
"More than 100 giant rabbits. 10 on the surface and the rest are under the ground, and 20 wolves hiding inside a cave, seems they are still afraid of that bear, wait, those rabbits are farming?? "
*swiish*
Lucas used stealth footwork and vanished in thin air.
Two hours later. Lucas had all of the beasts inside his storage. Also, he gained a huge amount of XP, even though each beast could offer a decent amount, even though it was less compared to the last time, due to their number, the amount he got was crazy.
Lucas checked his XP and found that he has 2.78 million Accumulated XP.
But what best thing is, the many Monsters inside his storage. Once he is done milking them, he would train them, after they become stronger, some would be kept as training cows and others would into his subordinates.
In the future, if he can't find good XP cows, then he would make them.
Lucas kicked the air and flew back to the training camp. Then he went to his usual training spot where no one would bother him and sat down.
Now, he chose to use his accumulated XP points. Lucas thought that it would be better to use these points on the skills that are hard to level up, and basics skills such as Haki itself.
Lucas opened the states and looked to the skills section.

Lucas looked to the skills and thought which ones would be hard to level up even with the existence of the XP cows.
Lucas decided to start with Haki. Leveling up armament Haki would make his control over it stronger, basically, Armament Haki would become easier to concentrate and would put less burden on the body, that would give it the potential to become stronger.
And along with Lucas's iron mass, The combination with Haki would raise his defense to an imaginable degree.
[using 300.000 accumulated XP]
[Armament Haki up to level 13 (0/500.000)]
[Using 800.000 accumulated XP]
[Observation Haki up to level 14 (0/700.000)]
Extending the rang. The ability to see the future for more few seconds: cool down 5 seconds].
'Not bad, but I still have 1.55 million XP' Lucas looked to the things that are hard to level up, or things that require few XP such the six powers.

Lucas nodded and then he looked to what was really hard to level up, his Swordsmanship's level, which is currently on par with half-step middle stage grandmaster.

[Ding, a reward for reaching level 13 in swordsmanship.]
[+ two scimitars: Persian – Scimitar type, silver, and black blades. The craftsmanship of the two surpasses the level of this world]
Lucas opened his storage and looked to what the system gave him, two scimitars, one is black and one is silver, the blades looked to be 1-meter tall with, the tip of the scimitar looked to be large, very sharp and deadly, the tip was like the half-moon, the tip made it impossible to have a proper sheath for the two.
"Not bad" Lucas smiled as the two swords appeared in his hands, they were quite heavy, but they felt weightless in his hand, the scimitars' shape gave a strong sense of battle.
Lucas waved them and started to do some swordsmanship dances to get used to the new swords. After some time, he nodded and decided to use the rest of his XP on the swordsmanship. He only has 1.2 million which is exactly what he needs.
[Ding, swordsmanship up to level 14 (0/3.000.000]

After Lucas was done from everything. He decided to go to the management office and request to take his graduation test.
Lucas entered the administrator and was greeted by an ex rear admiral. He was an old man with long straight snow-white hair, he had a sword, a muscular body, and one arm.
"I'm here to request to take my exam".
The old man looked to his office, then he pulled some files with Name 'Fernando Lucas '
[ Name: Lucas

Notes :

High sword mastery. High physical strength.
Qualified to start Haki training ]
"it's too early for you to start working as you have yet to learn everything. Go back then wait until the HQ send you someone not busy to teach you. Now get out of my sight " The old man waved his hand at Lucas with an annoyed expression on his face.
"But I have the right to request at any time I like," Lucas said firmly.
"You think it's game, don't you. You have to learn some patient, young man." The old man replied.
"It's pointless to stay, I learned all of what I have to learn," Lucas said.
"Ho.." The rear admiral smirked.
Before his lips move, Lucas said:" Then, brat, how about Haki, I bet you don't know what it is"
The old man confidently said "Then, brat, how about Haki. I Bet…." His lips stopped moving and he looked at Lucas with a scarred face, did he just tell him what he is going to say. "What!".
Lucas continued:" Did. Did you just see the future" with the level up in his Haki, Lucas can see the near future for a short while for every 5 seconds.
The rear admiral, with some cold sweat on his forehead. "Did. Did you just.." Then he opened his eyes widely. That must be Haki.
'No, I didn't see the future, last one line was predicted '
"No, I just could read your lips"
"My lips. " even he can do Haki to predict lips movement, however, he won't be able to read them. This convinced the manager of the camp that Lucas must have high mastery of his Haki. Well. Unlike Garp who takes things easily, this was so frightening. 15 years old kid already mastered Haki.
"I would like if you don't ask many questions, I can do armament as well, but If you have some questions, then ask Vice-admiral Garp, he is the one who taught me" Lucas's hand turned ink black
" I see, so it's vice-admiral Garp. Fine, you can prepare your self, tomorrow you will pass the test. I advise you to rest well so you would be in the best physical condition. You are dismissed " the old man calmed down a bit after hearing Garp's name, then he sent Lucas off.
Lucas left the office. The old man used his one arm to look to Lucas's profile. He added something to the paper.
' Hot youth. Impatient. Already has mastery over Haki,'
'Qualified to start as a captain at least in the new world, but lack experience'
…..
Lucas was walking outside. From nowhere, a cigarette appeared in his hand. Lucas put it in his mouth and lit it up.
After walking a bit and smoking half of the cigarette, Lucas sighed as his face showed a very serious expression.
"any rank I get doesn't matter, As long as I get these two down and appear as a hero, reaching the admiral should be smooth " Lucas took two wanted posters from his storage and smirked. Those are his cards to reach that rank.
"After that, I'll take over the rank of the fleet admiral. Then after that…." Lucas smirk became wider, getting close to his goal made him feel a bit of excitement, however, he managed to calm himself. A big goal can't be rushed, thinking wishfully would only lead to disappointment. He must take each step carefully, the failing line is too thin.
"Lucas" From behind, A familiar voice called and interrupt Lucas's thoughts. A very smooth hand touched him. The smoothness of her hand told him who " Alvida"
"what are you up to"
"Nothing much "
"Mm, but I saw your smirk, you are up for something."
"Hehe can you really tell"
"Hey, it's not fair, you can't hide secrets from me".
"Let's go to the dining hall, I'm hungry "
"Sure "
