Chapter 113: One versus Three? No one can defeat them individually
The next day, Aaron opened his eyes groggily, then rubbed his somewhat heavy head.
Looking at the familiar ceiling, Aaron realized he was in his own bedroom. He knew without a doubt that Gines had brought him back.
After a heavy night of drinking, he had also calmed down.
His two-month holiday was destined to be filled with twenty-eight, no, perhaps twenty-nine courses.
Hiding was out of the question for now. In front of the family rules and the previous family heads, Gines probably couldn't even give him, the young master, face.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A knock on the door came from outside.
"Young Master, it's time for you to get up."
"Hm?"
Aaron turned his head to look at the sliver of sunlight outside, then glanced at his alarm clock, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"What the hell? It's not even six yet?
My little dragon cub is still asleep, isn't he? Is calling me at this hour a mistake?"
"No mistake," Gines said from outside the door. "I organized your timetable overnight.
Now your daily study time is sixteen to eighteen hours, with the remaining time for sleeping and eating.
So... your routine might need to change a little."
Aaron:...Damn it!
Opening the door, Aaron carried Abey, who was full of morning grumpiness and could even spray a few sparks with a yawn, his face looking quite displeased.
"You're efficient, aren't you!
The timetable is already arranged. Couldn't it have waited a day or two?"
Gines seemed not to have heard the complaint in Aaron's tone, but smiled and said, "We can't keep the ancestors waiting, can we!"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Aaron 'hmphed' unhappily, then lowered his voice, feeling a bit guilty, "I just thought of a good idea.
When there are policies from above, there are countermeasures from below.
They are in a dormant state, aren't they? If we go there every few days, they wouldn't know, right!"
Gines was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Young Master, please don't make it difficult for me.
And you can think of it this way: the sooner you finish a course, the sooner you'll feel relieved."
Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly. Of course he understood that principle.
But with twenty-nine courses, Heaven knew how long it would take him to master them all.
However, hearing Gines say that, he knew that this path of cheating was a dead end.
Gines was too loyal, but this loyalty was to the Gaius Family. The family head was definitely first, and as for him, the young master, he probably still fell short compared to the ancestors.
Gines led Aaron to the dining room. On the table was a delicate breakfast, along with a hangover soup.
As for Abey, it still had an apple, but yesterday he had witnessed Abey's true form and knew that this breakfast wasn't even enough to get stuck in its teeth, so he simply added a large portion of roast meat for it.
Sure enough, upon seeing the meat, Abey's expression improved considerably.
"Hahaha! Now you're not thinking about making it lose weight anymore."
"No, losing weight was set by the Madam, and I can't change it.
However, besides eating less, there's another method: more exercise," Gines explained. "Last night, besides preparing the timetable, I also prepared a large toy overnight that will definitely let Abey sweat to its heart's content."
Hearing this, Aaron gave Abey a sympathetic look, but the young dragon, who was feasting happily, clearly didn't take Gines' words to heart... They arrived at the Chamber of Secrets.
Aaron skillfully picked up his sword and began training, trying his best to turn his grief and indignation into motivation, venting the anger in his heart.
Abey, on the other hand, looked at the large hamster treadmill placed in the corner and fell into contemplation.
What is this thing? Is it a weight-loss device for dragons?
What a blatant insult!
However, just as it was about to refuse, Gines picked it up and placed it on the hamster treadmill, giving it a gentle push.
Swish!
The hamster treadmill started to turn, and Abey, not reacting in time, could only move with it.
After running for half a minute, Abey glared fiercely at Gines, its wings on both sides quickly spreading, its pure white wings particularly conspicuous in the armory.
Just as it was about to fly out, Gines took out his small notebook.
With a flick of his wand, several colored pictures on it magnified several times and flew in front of Abey. "This is your lunch, but on the condition that you behave a little better.
If you don't run hard, it might have to be appropriately reduced.
So, how much you can eat depends on you."
"Hey, hey, hey! That's too much!" Aaron said, laughing and crying, "Using thirty portions of food to tempt a dragon cub less than a year old, doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Young Master, you want it to eat its fill and eat well, while the Madam wants it to lose weight.
It's really hard for me to be caught between you two, so I came up with this method.
This diet plan has been carefully calculated. As long as the exercise volume is met, the calories consumed will definitely be more than the intake.
If it still doesn't lose weight this way, then there's only one possibility: it's been secretly eating."
Hearing this, Abey glanced at its pocket guiltily.
It had to admit, the Undetectable Extension Charm was a very convenient spell. From birth until now, only it knew how much stuff it had hoarded.
"Cough, cough!"
Aaron coughed, and Abey immediately snapped back, lifting its head and pretending as if nothing had happened.
It glanced at the lunch it had to work hard to enjoy, and ran with all its might.
During the practical combat session, Aaron's opponent was still a set of armor enchanted with Transfiguration.
But after everything that happened yesterday, he was full of pent-up anger with nowhere to release it!
Now, a ready-made punching bag was right in front of him, so what was he waiting for!
Aaron was in excellent form, charging forward fearlessly. Having been beaten once, he had no qualms, knowing only to attack.
After enduring three punches, he finally managed to knock off the opponent's helmet.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Gines clapped excitedly, "Excellent, Young Master is truly making rapid progress!"
"Hmph! Don't flatter me, I know my own capabilities.
If it were an ordinary person, without defensive spells cast on them, one punch would probably kill them."
"That may be true, but compared to losing two matches yesterday, there is indeed significant progress today."
"Yes!" Aaron rolled his eyes at him, "Having met twenty-eight ancestors, my state of mind has ascended to another level."
"Let's not talk about that," Gines changed the subject, "Young Master has completed the first stage of training, so let's begin the second stage!"
"Are we fighting two?" Aaron swung the long sword in his hand, tapping the blade with his index finger, producing a crisp sound, and smiled slightly, "I'm ready. I feel like I can take on three today."
"Not exactly!"
Gines used Transfiguration to restore the armor on the ground. He slowly walked to the rack and took down a long sword, swinging it forcefully with one hand, creating a shallow sword mark on the ground.
Gulp!
Aaron involuntarily shivered at the sight, and his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
His small frame, even with a Shield Charm, could barely withstand one or two punches, but having a weapon and not having one were two completely different things. He feared that the armor could now send him flying with a single sword strike.
"This is too much!"
"Not at all. This way, Young Master, you can fully recognize the importance of weapons.
Don't worry, Young Master, it will stop when it needs to," Gines said with a smile, then looked at the armor, "Begin!"
Swish!
As his words fell, a white light struck the armor.
The armor, which had just adopted an attacking stance, was instantly torn apart by Diffindo.
Gines stared dumbfounded, then looked over as Aarondramatically blew on his wand, "This spell is called Diffindo, and it works incredibly well against things that are pieced together."
"This..."
"What 'this'?"
Didn't someone tell me that you can use any means against an enemy?"
"Young Master!" Gines said with a stern face, "Principles are principles, but it's better to be serious during training."
"I know, I know.
I was just making a little joke."
Gines sighed in relief, once again casting Transfiguration to restore the armor.
But after doing so, he was still somewhat uneasy and held out his hand to Aaron, "Your wand."
"Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Young Master, in this Chamber of Secrets, I am your teacher.
This is a teacher's request to a student."
Hearing this, Aaron knew that he had made Ginessomewhat displeased. He reluctantly handed over his two wands.
The battle began again. Aaron and the armor exchanged blows for less than five rounds before he was cut across the chest with a sword, stumbling back several steps before stopping.
"Hiss! That really hurts!
I think my ribs might be broken."
"Young Master, you should save that line for the Madam!" Gines added another Shield Charm to Aaron, saying helplessly, "I certainly won't believe it. That blow would at most make you feel like you were whipped with a willow branch.
There will definitely be pain, but absolutely no injury."
"You're especially boring when you're boring!" Aaron stood up, picked up his sword, and faced the armor, "Again!"
Next, Aaron entered 'getting beaten' mode.
Each time he felt pain, but each time he stood up with the words 'again', his strong willpower even made Gines click his tongue in amazement.
