Daily Life

They already got the title, and it was named after Raymond, which meant that they didn't have to worry about the fees they needed to pay for the roof they were living under.

However, living in an enormous house was unexpectedly suffocating. They couldn't fall asleep as they got used to small-sized rooms. But thinking about it, it must be time to adjust their lifestyle.

A day in an enormous house is suffocating, but then, they force themselves to get used to it and adapt their lifestyle to it. Sooner or later, they got used to it.

Rudy got his job back. Even working as a hunter, Rudy didn't feel relaxed about this work until they moved to the middle district. He didn't know that there were privileges that the middle district inhabitants could have.

From their hunts, they could get bigger partials than before. And thinking about it, would it be a waste since they get plenty of money every month?

30 silvers are plenty, but they still need to work to move the bones and muscles that they got used to working with. They don't want to be dependent on it since that allowance was for Raymond.

They still had their land, and Rowena was still farming. Rebbecca also searched for a place to work, and Lilia made new friends.

All of those things happened within a week and just the same week, and Raymond was about to be trained by one of the bodyguards of General McWorthy.

He could not feel more thrilled about it since he had been longing to learn how to fight. His memories were until his 17th year, and even at that age, he didn't have a lot of fighting knowledge.

Also, Hones's teachings were all extremely basic.

Occupying a minor part of the practicing venue, Raymond stood before the bodyguard, named Gandina. He had thin hair and a high hairline. His physique was well-built and he was tall. All over, he looked more like a veteran marine in Earth's standard.

"I need to thank you, kid. You gave me an easy life in the Middle District. Even if it was only temporary." Gandina stated.

Raymond raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked about it.

"What do you mean by that, Sir? Why do you need to thank me?"

Gandina let out a sigh, then answered his question. "You might not know it. Life in the Higher District is stressful for a bodyguard like me. Since General McWorthy is busy with the affairs against other villages, I need to focus on working with other generals."

Raymond followed a pause and thought about it.

"Was it that chaotic and stressful?"

"No words can explain it." Gandina released another deep sigh and then stated, "Let's start the training. You only have a year before you attend the Awakening Ceremony. By that time, the general was expecting me to say that I had already taught you what you needed to learn."

"Understood, Sir." Raymond confidently replied and went with the training Gandina prepared.

The first was forming his body. Raymond had only undergone basic bodybuilding but not entirely enough to reform his form. They were the foundation of his core, not enough to fortify his core.

As follows, his first day of training was for him to gradually develop his core. On the first day, he got his abdomen. The next day was for his biceps, and the other day was for his triceps.

Plenty of muscles was focused on until he completed his first week of training. It is also his second week in the Middle District, and living here has not become difficult because they were supported by General McWorthy.

Raymond's family would periodically go with the bodyguard. However, not every time as he's got some duties to work on.

Raymond's family decided to eat outside. With the money Rudy got, they went inside a restaurant and were mesmerized by the moment they entered. It was their first time.

Looking at every corner was not enough for them. It was fascinating as this type of establishment was a new experience for them. But for Raymond, it wasn't new. The Earth's restaurants were better than this.

"Let's take a seat," Raymond spoke up and assisted his family.

Recalling from his memory, restaurants here also had a menu that they gave to customers so that they could choose what they wanted to have.

"Mother, what is this?" Lilia asked as a folder was on top of their table.

Rowena paused. She only looked at the paper, confused like Lilia. And so, Raymond took the opportunity to explain it to his family. They were puzzled by this.

"This is the menu."

In a dark alleyway, three people were observing a house just across the street. This house was two-story and fascinatingly built. A few candles were still open, and the people were waiting for the lights to turn off.

They were wearing dark clothes, purposely hiding in the lightless space between buildings. As the night was also silent, they were taking cigars to kill time.

"Psh... The sole survivor must be the teenage girl?" One person asked, and he was the tallest of them all.

The other two were just the height of his shoulders. They all looked at him after that question and replied.

"Yeah. Fair skin, slim body, fierce eyes, thin lips. In short, pretty young lady."

The tallest person smiled and then took another peek at the house. He then gazed at it for a few seconds and exhaled.

"I see... She is lucky to be left alive."

The other two didn't make any sound and just continued taking the cigar. After midnight hit the clock, the lights were already off, which indicates that it was the right time.

They dropped their cigar and stepped on them, then moved hastily but silently. When they were in front of the house, they prepared their bodies and jumped to a plant stand that was on the second floor, just outside the window.

The plant stand was a plan box, and as they jumped, they reached the plant box and then pulled themselves up.

On the second floor, in the room of a girl, the shadows of these people could be seen. When the girl noticed the shadows flashing in her curtain, she jumped out of bed and walked nervously out of her room.

'There was a ghost!' The girl shouted to herself, then hurried to her parents' room.

She opened the door and then uttered, "Mother, a ghost was in my room."

When the three people overheard it, they instantly went down the window and entered the girl's room, and hid under the bed. Fortunately, for them, they fit under the bed.
