"OPEN THE GATES"

A servant said to the patrol team impatiently

Leo woke up from this loud noise, after waking up, the first thing he did was to check his injury

'system check my injuries'

['beep! Beep! 8.9% left-Hand tissues are injured ]

After first aid, Leo's injuries healed quite a lot

After coming out of the carriage Leo was taken to old lady Fina, the only doctor in Baron's castle

It only took 20 minutes before Fina healed Leo's injury completely

'This was the first time baron arranged a doctor for me, Aden should have already told him of my middle-level talent'

Leo thought with a smirk on his face

After coming out of fina's room, two maid's taken Leo to his new room arranged by baron

"You both can go now"

Leo said to maid's after reaching his room

"Young master, Madame has personally arranged us for you"

Both maids kneeled on the ground and replied in a low voice

"I don't have to repeat myself"

If Leo said this before the test he might have got beaten up, but now even if maid's argued back they don't know if they and their family Will see tomorrow's sun

After both of them left, Leo also left to training ground without seeing his new room

On the training ground, there were many new faces, Addy, Marty, and Andrew from reyled village and tom,shino, shara, were old apprentices of the castle

Leo doesn't talk to anyone and sat on a corner

After some time baron walked in with Ted

And denis

Baron was chatting happily with Ted and Denis was walking behind them with his head down

After coming in-ground, Ted got up on stage and commanded in his loud voice

"Everyone, introduce yourself"

Ted's voice covered the entire ground

"Andrew, low-level talent"

"Marty, low-level talent"

"Leo, middle-level talent"

"... Low level..."

Only denis haven't introduced himself yet, he doesn't have to actually, he was already famous in the castle as 'useless son'

Ted also knew about it and doesn't ask denis about this to embarrass him

"You all found to have the talent of knights, I will not talk round and round, the castle will give you enough benefits than any other organization"

Baron said in a heavy voice, he doesn't want anyone of them to leave the castle, they already lost 3 talents in the attack

"Castle will give 20 gold coins per month, a farm,50 acres of land,20 servants and Specially knight breathing method"

Everyone looked confused at Baron's last statement, only the old apprentice wasn't looking Surprised

Baron was expecting this

"You may all don't know how essential a breathing method is, with breathing method you can advance to knight apprentice in three months and if you have middle-level qualifications it isn't a problem to Advance in one month"

Baron said with a huge smile on his face

"From here ted will guide you in practice, you don't have to worry about any mistakes in training, you may not know that ted is head of patrolling team of the castle"

After saying this baron left towards the castle gate

This time Leo was also excited after hearing Baron's statement

"Okay, everyone can take their breathing method, and you can take the remaining rewards from Aden later"

Ted said again in his loud voice again

After everyone took their breathing method Ted started practicing the method slowly, so the new apprentice can learn it accurately

After Leo practiced it for a few seconds

' beep! Strange energy is detected in the body'

'system is this energy is harmful to the body'

'beep! Energy is useful in promoting host's stats'

Though Ted was practicing it slowly, they can still catch to his every movement

But this is not a problem for Leo

'system, record every movement of ted'

'beep! Recording Ted movements, the file will be saved on a new folder: ted01"

"You all don't have to worry about learning it, even old apprentice can't practice it perfectly after you practice it daily you can learn it in 2 years, by that time most of you probably will be promoted to 2nd level apprentice, don't be rash in your practice if you practiced too much that can give you a permanent damage to your body"

Everyone still kept practicing even after ted's warning

Ted doesn't mind it, this was not new for him

"Tomorrow training will start at 7 AM, don't be late on your first day"

Everyone left ground one by one, Leo was also leaving for his room but got stopped by Ted

"Leo, the baron has called you to his room, be sure to meet him before you go to your room"

After telling Leo baron's message ted doesn't bother to talk to him and also left for his room

'system scan Ted stats'

[Beep! Name Ted, Gender: Male, Strength: 2.4 Agility: 1.9' Vitality: 2.5, danger: high]

' Ted's stats are already comparable to Baron's stats, no wonder baron was friendly with him'

Leo didn't think much about this and was preparing to go into Baron's room

From the training ground to Baron's room, anyone from apprentice to a servant who will see Leo will stop for a moment and bow towards him slightly to show respect

'looks like it has already spread in the castle'

After walking for a few minutes Leo reached Baron's room

This time soldiers didn't stop Leo like last time and directly sent him to the room

Baron was sitting lazily on a chair and reading a book, after Leo came in the room, baron placed the book aside and looked at Leo, Leo didn't feel any pressure like last time

'I doesn't expected this kid to have middle-level talent'

"Leo, I have a present for you"

While saying this baron thrown a sword towards him

"This is, black iron sword"

Leo looked astonishing at baron

black iron is a rare material found in iron mines in small quantities, even a few grams cost up to dozens of gold coins let alone to make a full sword

"I seized this from an enemy in war"

Baron looked proud when telling Leo about it

"I hope you will train well, after 2 years our kingdom will go In a war with tarno kingdom anyone above the age 14 has to participate in war and I can't help you there"

Baron said to Leo without any hesitation

Leo merely nodded and didn't say a word

After saying this Baron's again started reading his book

Leo knows that he doesn't have to stay here anymore and he also left towards his room

After coming out of the room, Leo finally took a deep breath

'system scan contents of this sword'

'beep! Black iron sword, 78% black iron, 21% steel, category: alloy, durability: strong, no harmful substance contained in sword'

After checking sword properties, Leo took out of his hand from pockets and gently caressed the sword, this was the most precious thing he has seen until now in this world

Leo was now preparing to return to his room but was surprised to see a servant standing at his room door

"Young master Leo, sir Aden has sent this rewards for you"

Leo took these rewards from the servant and send him away

After coming into the room, Leo closed his room tightly making a creaky sound, and started practicing knight breathing With help of the system

'strange energy is detected'

Strength is increased by 0.03, agility is increased by 0.01

Strength is increased by 0.01, agility is increased by 0.02

Leo keep practicing until his veins popped out on his muscles

"Alert! The body has reached its limit, a short break is required, else permanent damage can happen to the body"

Leo stopped after the system's warning, he was already soaked in sweat

' compare my old stats to new'

'beep! An increase of 0.2 in strength, 0.1 in agility.0.15 in vitality'

"system, calculate the time I need to promote to an apprentice'

'Beep! 8 days, 2hours, 9 minutes'

'Only 8 days'

Leo's face subconsciously showed a smile

'send me an alert if any life form harmful to me come near 10 meters to me'

After setting a warning in the system, Leo jumped on his new bed

after a few minutes, Leo's fell into deep sleep unknowingly
