Chapter 6 - Siblings

Argghhh... Huuuu.

Ace woke up while standing and felt his whole body is so stiff. Bleeggh, Ace got disgusted at the smell of his body and his armor so he immediately took it off.

He took a shower and washed off the bad smell form his body. He changed his clothes and refined some memory pill.

He closed his room and headed to where the slaves are.

After he came he saw bunch of slaves who had a pair of dark circles under their eyes.

You all didn't sleep??

Master.. The slaves weakly greeted him.

You guys sleep. Your cultivation didn't even reach elite warrior realm and you guys are already abusing your body like this.

You guys go to sleep. You will be taking turn three hours turn 2 people stay here and wake up the other 2 after your finished. ??... Ace definitely won't let them die before they did work for him. The little act of kindness or the little act of miser bought some light in the hearts of the slaves who feels like they're going to die.

Ace noticed that some of the slaves are not here and concludes that the group probably don't need money or doesn't have a family to support.. Meanwhile this group is risking their health juts to learn alchemy probably had some problems with money.

Ace orders breakfast because most of the slaves are sleepy and just ordered food for everyone at the fastest food delivery shop, he also ordered training prop like wooden sword, wooden knife as well as iron ones.

He started with another round of refining because he plans to bring gifts for his elders in his visit.

He is refining vitality pill that will give the user a hundred year of lifespan as well a battle god pill, where you would need to battle to get the best benefits of the pill. It is both master level pill which he learns from his previous life. Ace got unlimited access of information from a top civilization because they gave their slaves access to every information to be able to serve them better. They forced them to study till death, they are that confident in their prison.

Who would know that 1 of the slaves will be back in time and use that knowledge for their own interests and possibly against their race.

Well its not like Ace would care about how they feel. He just want to use this knowledge to live his life lazily.

After Ace finished refining he got 12 vitality pill and 12 battle god pill. None of the herbs is wasted.

The food delivery conveniently arrived just after he finished his refining he orders one of the free slave to wake others up and get them to eat and he left after saying that....

Ace chews his memory pills like a snack while watching 2 elite realm warriors fighting... He tried to watch higher level fights but it is too high level for him to comprehend even though he gained quite a bit from it. He feels that he will gain more from the videos if he watched the warriors who is not far off from his realm. And he was right, he is absorbing the knowledge like a sponge...

Stupid!! Ace mocks the fighters while munching his meal... With the memory pill Ace knew that this fight is rigged it is literal no brainer battle that only allowed the two to use some fancy moves. He closed that video because he feels like he will suffer autism if he kept watching the fight.

He also looked up through knife and swordsmanship foundational course for Jack and his sister.

He didn't plan to seriously nurture Jack and his sister but he wants to give them a direction for their future path.

He diligently studies the teaching and contemplating how he will teach it to them.. With the aid of the memory pill Ace is confident that he will be able to teach them 10× better than the guy he was watching.

HhhhhOhh Ace your already awake. Jack greeted Ace while yawning..

Good morning... The breakfast is on the main table... Ace greeted him halfheartedly and pointed at the center and the biggest table...

Mmmnnnn I already message my sister yesterday and he should be rushing here as soon as she woke up...

Thats good.. I will have to go back to the main family's house in the afternoon because the elders called for me.... It'd be great if it starts early though....

Well its not like the training props are here though... Ace said internally

Nom nom, why did those geezers even called you?? Jack said without any ounce of respect.

Geezers?? This is the first time I hear you say something so brave.... Be careful if they hear you they would probably break your bones.. They're that petty..

They wouldn't right?? Jack swallowed his food with difficulty and asked in a pretty unsure tone...

(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).... I'm pretty sure they would.. Ace replied.

"..."

Jack guiltily continued to munch his food like he said nothing...

Ace let the poor guy go because he probably won't be able to sleep later if he keeps his jokes up...

Ding! Dong!

Someone rang the doorbell and it is not Jack's sister but the delivery guy..

Ace signed the papers and tipped the delivery, he already paid online so all he has to do was to sign the papers.

Ace what is that?? Jack immediately got curious about the box.

Fwap.

Ace opens them recklessly since they're not that expensive.

Mmm ... Training weapons.. You can't start training with real weapons right?? Ace answered.

Mmmnn even sticks would do for us. We trained all these years using the wooden sticks in the road, only the academy's training swords feels a bit better but not much difference.

Hhhmm?? Your dad didn't even carve a basic wooden sword for you??Ace questions.

Nah most of the time his too busy for us. He doesn't even eat on the same table as us because he's too busy at his work. Jack explained indifferently.

Well you need to use at least the same shape of your weapon in your practice, so you won't have to adjust when you have your real weapon.

Ding! Dong!

Jack let's look at the gate maybe its your sister.

The two walked shortly got back at the gate.

Brother Ace!!!

After opening the gate a petite shadow tackled Ace.

Hey! Your brother's right here!

Jack got shocked at his sisters bias.

Ohh! hey brother.

What do you mean hey? You gave Ace a hug but your real brother couldn't get any? Am I even your real brother?

Bleh, what can I do? I missed brother Ace,I'm tired of your stupid face, I see It always everyday. The young girl replied mischievously.

Jack just got frozen like stone when he heard the words of the young girl.

Let's go inside and start your lessons.

Yayyy.

Ace and the girl heads inside of the house leaving the frozen Jack behind.

Did I fail as a brother? Jack wondered outside internally.
