Chapter 201: An Invitation to the Elite Training Camp! The President Called Again!
Moss completed four more Mystic Realms in three consecutive days, becoming the new record holder for all of them.
As he became quicker and more efficient in completing these Mystic Realms, he felt the importance of Elroy’s words, ‘Learn from the past and future.’
Moss could read Magical Beasts’ movements and attack patterns much better because of all his reading on Mystic Realms and beasts. Even if Moss were to encounter threats he had never seen before, he would quickly find countermeasures through his previous experiences and knowledge he had gathered.
As he learned from the past, he became more composed whenever he encountered newer problems. He was more confident than ever. That was what he gained in the fourth Mystic Realm he conquered.
Moss had encountered and defeated a Demonic Black Widow Spider for the first time by combining his experience fighting an Explosive Spider during the elite training program and the things he read about the Demonic Black Widow Spider in the Magical Beast Bestiary.
Of course, Moss handed over all the equipment he received from the Mystic Realms and bosses to Fox.
Fox even offered some to Moss, but he respectfully rejected them. Ultimately, Fox did not argue with Moss and smilingly accepted the equipment Moss handed over.
“Young Master Moss, the probability of receiving equipment from these realms and beasts is too high. You must come here more often to help us gather more equipment. You will also keep this old man accompanied along the way.”
Fox was great with words. One could expect that from the family’s head butler. He always praised Moss and did what his master instructed him to do. He was also pleased that Mill had found herself a good friend.
“Of course, I will! I’ve learned a lot from interacting with you. Thank you, sir!” Moss bowed respectfully.
Fox’s understanding of speed in battle benefited Moss a lot. Fox believed that speed was not just about comparing who was faster as it was the most obvious reason.
The deeper reason was to coordinate one’s speed with the best opportunity to attack. In addition, it was essential for one to control their rhythm and change their speed accordingly.
The two were chatting when Moss’s phone rang. He saw Red Spider’s number and quickly answered the call, “Hello, Deputy Chief Instructor Red Spider,” Moss took the initiative to greet her because he respected Red Spider very much.
......
During the training program, Red Spider was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She did not stick to one style, but her care and love for the students left a deep impression on Moss.
“Hello, Moss. I won’t beat around the bush,” Red Spider’s familiar voice sounded from the other end of the call, “We are preparing for the next batch of students, so we invite you to the elite training camp to participate in our training modifications.”
“Of course! If you think I will be of help, I will do it. B-But I’m afraid I won’t have time during the college entrance exams,” Moss told Red Spider about his current situation.
“Oh, right, you’re taking the exams. There’s no rush, so let’s make a deal. You can visit when the exams are over. Also, we heard you rejected special enrollment offers from the top ten institutes. Well done on that. Just remember that we support you. Old Mur said you are welcome to use the training camp’s resources,” Red Spider said.
“Okay, thank you very much, Deputy Chief Instructor Red Spider! I will contact you again before I visit.”
Moss felt touched when he hung up the phone. He felt waves of warmth from Red Spider and Old Mur’s offer.
He was about to put his phone away when he realized he had a missed call. Moss tapped on it and saw that it was from the president of the National Professional Alliance, Weston, so he hurriedly called him back.
“I’m sorry, President Weston. I was on the phone just now and missed your call,” Moss explained.
“Oh, that’s okay. Moss, the Professional Exchange Conference I told you about last time will take place next Tuesday in Black Dragon City. I will arrange for someone to send you the detailed information later. You should prepare, so I can send someone to pick you up,” Weston spoke slowly, but there was excitement in his tone.
“Yes, President Weston. I will prepare myself now!” Moss was also excited to meet so many big shots in one conference.
“Are you training right now? Then I won’t get in your way. We can have a good chat when we meet soon.”
“Okay, President Weston. I will ask for more advice when we meet again.” Moss hung up the phone as excitement overwhelmed him.
…
Moss returned to the old butler’s side and was about to speak when Fox asked smilingly, “Is something the matter, Young Master Moss? It’s okay. Miss Mill is easy to talk to since she’s not an unreasonable person. Although, she will be a little disappointed that you must leave.”
‘Fox’s hearing is astounding!’ Moss thought as he sized up the old butler. Then he smiled and replied, “Yes, Fox. I need to leave for a while.”
As Moss finished speaking, Mill appeared seemingly out of nowhere. She asked faintly with a hint of sadness, “When do you plan on leaving?”
“Tomorrow morning.”
Mill had a not-so-bright smile when she heard that. She said faintly, “O-Okay, let’s end our training here, and I can show you around.” Then she looked at the old butler and said, “Fox, please prepare dinner.” With that, Mill led Moss out of the secret base.
Fox watched the duo leave and muttered, “It seems that Miss Mill’s heart already belongs to someone. Still, Moss is a big fish in a small pond.”
…
After the tour of the manor and the grand banquet, Moss still felt like he did not belong there. He only went there to fulfill his promise to Mill. However, he understood her more now.
Mill was a daughter of an influential family but performed like no other in the elite training program and Mystic Realms. She showed no signs of being a pampered young lady.
She courageously rejected special enrollment offers from the top 30 institutes and decided to take the college entrance exams to be in the top ten instead, which made Moss admire Mill even more.
At the same time, he was grateful to Mill. If it were not for Mill, he would not have doubled his speed so quickly and obtained the four-star Red Flame Holy Sword. He would remember what Mill did and carry it with him.
Before Moss left, Mill made a deal with him. Moss would have to train with her if she attended the top ten institutes. He also needed to treat Mill to a meal at the best restaurant in the city where Moss would study in the future.
However, if Moss did not get into the top three institutes, he must treat her to a meal in the city’s best restaurant, where Mill would study in the future.
Moss gladly accepted her deal and promised to give Mill a gift if he made it into the top three institutes.
