Berserk Stick System - Chapter 104

The next day, I’m currently heading to Ashleigh’s residence. I want to visit Trecia and as for her older sister I guess she won’t be around, she should be at the academy by now. I went to adventurer’s guild before heading here, I gave Graze the recording I got earlier, he acted immediately after, capturing Barclay’s group members. I didn’t care about this matter anymore, so I left immediately.

I want to know Trecia’s current state, she is one of the women waiting for my return. I hope she won’t forget me after not seeing her for 5 years. When I arrived near Ashleigh’s residence, the carriage I was in stopped, coachman said he couldn’t go any further.

I just nodded and gave money to the coachman. Coachman left immediately after that. As I walked up to the front of the gate, I was stopped by two guards.

“Who are you? Do you have any business here?” One of the guards asked.

“I am Lute Carter, I will be young lady bodyguard when she goes to the academy,”

The guard frowned, they looked at each other and looked at me again.

“Lute Carter? Hmm, have you heard his name?”

“I think I’ve heard it before, maybe about 5 years ago. Oh, that’s right, before that Lord Reynold, once brought a child who was talk of the adventurers, but I didn’t know he would be young lady’s bodyguard,” The guard was surprised.

“Do you have an appointment with Lord Reynold?”

“No, I came suddenly,” I shook my head.

“Okay, wait here, we will inform my lord your arrival,”

The guard went to his post, looking like he was going to call Reynold or his secretary. After a few minutes, the guard came back here, they opened the gate for me.

“You may come in, my lord said he also wants to meet you,”

“Okay,”

I walked and arrived in front of Ashleigh’s residence. The door opened and a butler who looked old, had a friendly smile telling me to come in. If I’m not mistaken this man’s name is Sebas, he led me all way to the front door of the living room.

“My Lord is inside, you may come in now.”

I nodded, when I entered I was greeted with a nice tea scent. I saw a middle-aged man with golden blonde hair sitting on the sofa. He looked at me with a smile and motioned for me to sit down. I sat opposite him.

“You’re back, how about your training?”

“Everything is going well, if you knew my power now, you might be surprised,”

“Heh… is that so, I guess there’s no way I’d be surprised since my daughter’s development is also very fast,” Reynold said proudly.

I chuckled hearing this, as expected of a father, they will boast their daughter first. I just shrugged.

“So how strong are you now?” Reynolds looked curious.

“I have Rank C+ power, what do you think? Is your daughter stronger than me?” I smile.

Reynold was shocked, he took a closer look at me, whether I was lying or not. But seeing me who didn’t budge at all and looked confident, he felt that what I said earlier was true.

“Hahaha, I’m glad to hear that. Nola is in Rank C, she is one of the top students this year,”

Reynold laughed, not only did his daughter’s progress made him happy, but seeing my progress. He didn’t have to worry anymore when his daughter was at the academy.

“What about Trecia? What is her rank now?” I ask.

Reynold’s originally happy face, when he heard about Trecia’s ability, he just sighed. Although Trecia’s development wasn’t bad, when compared to other noble children, she was just like an ordinary person.

Reynold didn’t care what other people said, it was just that he knew it would be very different among nobles. Plus until now Trecia hadn’t awakened her Innate Skill, which usually happens to noble children before they turn 16.

Since then, Trecia has become an introvert and rarely talks, she only talks to her older sister, even Trecia barely speaks when she meets her. And ever since Nola was at the academy, Trecia had locked herself in her room almost every day.

Reynold also knew that some of the maids spoke ill Trecia, when he heard this, he dismissed them immediately so that other maids would not dare to speak ill Trecia again.

“What’s wrong, uncle? Did something happen? Why do you look gloomy?” I asked worriedly.

“Nothing, it’s just that Trecia’s improvement is the same as that of an ordinary person, she currently just reached Rank D,” Reynold couldn’t help but sigh.

I looked at Reynold strangely, indeed Trecia was very weak at first until that incident happened. When Trecia awakened her power, it would affect many people in the academy. When that happened, all nobles would be silenced by Trecia’s suddenly awakening ability.

“Don’t worry uncle, I’m sure Trecia has a strong ability. Before she awakened her ability, I will always protect her from any threat,” I patted my chest confidently.

Reynold couldn’t help but laugh, he felt better now. Somehow he feels my words are the truth, what does he care about other nobles? As long as his daughter is okay that’s enough for him.

“Since you’ve arrived here, I’ll be hosting you tonight. I still have a lot of work to do, you can walk around if you want. If you need anything, you just have to ask the maid,” Reynold smiled.

I could only nod and follow him out the living room, Reynold immediately went to his office.

“Now what should I do? I think I should see Trecia.”

I walked to her room, when I got there, I knocked on the door and called her name, but there was no answer. Is she not in her room? I went to look for Trecia and found her currently in a garden filled with flowers. Right now Trecia was looking at her reflection in the fountain. Her face looks sad, I think I will surprise her with my arrival.

Silently walking and standing behind her, I saw our reflection faces in the fountain. Trecia was surprised at first, but she just sighed, she seemed to think this was just a hallucination.
