Chapter 54: Stuck

A month had passed since the first day of class of Kraftvoll and the others.

In this past month, the students of the 210th class were taking their own elemental seishin classes and at the same time, they were cultivating the knowledge they gained from their classes in their free time.

As he said to Kraftvoll, King Arthur came to the Verrater Academy to guide him in his seishin cultivation.

It was the first weekend of the 7th month so Kraftvoll did not have any classes.

King Arthur was scheduled to come to Kraftvoll's accommodation at the weekend of the first and third weeks of the month.

He wanted to guide Kraftvoll's cultivation personally to ensure Kraftvoll's success in seishin cultivation.

"You have been stuck at the bottleneck of the High Seishin Captain Rank for over months now. You can exploit the knowledge you learn from your classes. Focus meditating and gathering light seishin essence at the dawn to speed up your cultivation speed. While cultivating your fire seishin essence at noon will speed up your progress so do that." said King Arthur to his only student, Kraftvoll.

In the past month, Kraftvoll was stuck at the bottleneck of the Seishin Captain rank. Despite trying so hard to reach Seishin General rank, he still was failing in his attempt. Kraftvoll neglected personal training because he was focused on studying with his classmates and hanging out with them.

"Remember, my student that great talent is useless without doing any hard work. All the known geniuses that appeared on our continent were all hard workers. Every one of them left a legacy to this world and hard work is included in that legacy. That's why, if you like to achieve whatever you wanted to do in the future, you must work your ass off." said King Arthur with full seriousness.

Kraftvoll's face suddenly changed after hearing his master. He said, "Don't worry, master, I will work very hard for the sake of taking down that wretched Dark Alliance."

Kraftvoll realized that all these times, he had been forgetting the main reason for him to become strong. He thought that the reason for this was that he became too happy when he finally acquired new friends and companions.

King Arthur turned happy inside because his student, the person who has the highest potential on the Nidriege Welt Continent, was driven by his grudge toward the enemy alliance. It's been a millennium ever since there was a victory between the rivalry of these two great alliances.

Kings and leaders of these two alliances had been eager to defeat the other alliance and finally hope for the Holy Alliance finally appeared. The leaders of the Holy Alliance wanted to exploit that hope to win against the enemy alliance while the Dark Alliance wanted to destroy it.

"Okay. You better focus on your training. I'm gonna visit Kyomi. That kid will be mad at me again if I didn't visit her again this time." said King Arthur.

Kraftvoll nodded in response to his master. And so King Arthur went on his way to visit his daughter.

'What a waste. Ouryuu was not allowed to come now. The academy's rules and regulations stated that a seishin beast partner is only allowed when a student is in the fifth grade. I guess Ouryuu will have stay in the Castle until that time.' Kraftvoll thought to himself.

Kraftvoll continued training until afternoon. The king already departed in the middle of the afternoon to arrive at the royal capital before the dusk. He did not say any goodbye to Kraftvoll because he didn't want to disturb him in his training.

A moment later, someone barge into Kraftvoll's room.

"Brother Kraftvoll! Let's go to the sparring room!" said the Godwin who had just barged into Kraftvoll's room.

"I am training right now, Brother Godwin," said Kraftvoll in response.

"I know that you will stop training after hearing what is happening there," said Godwin in a hurry.

"What is happening in the sparring room?" said Kraftvoll.

"One of your friends, Lady Belle, challenged Prince Aragorn to a spar!" said Godwin.

Kraftvoll's eyes suddenly widened. "WHAT!?" he shouted.

"Let's go! Their spar is going to be starting at any minute now," said Godwin.
