I Just Want A Peaceful Life Chapter 11
Advertisement
"A-Angus, are you also staying here?" called one of the girls with black hair.
"Oh.. isn't that Millie? Yes, I also stay here. So, did you know what happened here?" Replied Angus
At this moment, Ian and Jayna look at the incoming person but seeing the person is Angus, they ignore him before glaring at each other again.
"Hmph.. You just got lucky this time, commoner." said Jayna before leaving for her room.
"What did you say?! Did you think I was afraid of you?" Replied Ian, ready to launch at her.
Looking like they are almost starting to fight for real, Mia begins to drag Jayna to her room while the other boy holds Ian.
Then, Millie explains the situation to Angus. Apparently, Jayna wants to occupy the dorm for girls only and tries to drive Ian and the other boy out of the dorm.
However, the moment Angus comes into this dorm, Jayna seems to reluctantly accept the boys living at the dorm since she didn't want to have trouble with the sons of Duke Victory.
Hearing this, Angus thought inwardly, 'Damn, to think I got sexist as my dorm mate. But, none of it matters anyway.'
"Tch… What's so great about being the princess?" Said Ian while he goes toward his own room.
"Well, since the matter is already solved, I will also excuse myself. By the way, my name is Axel Pomel. I hope we can get along with the son of Duke Victory during our stay in the Spring Dorm." Said one of the boys that was just holding Ian.
"Just call me Angus. I hope so too. Anyway, Nice to see you again, Millie." Angus also goes towards his room on the second floor.
The dorm looks relatively small on the outside, but the inside is quite spacious as each room is enchanted with some runes and reinforced with strong barriers.
Entering his room, he found a double bed, wardrobe, and a few support furniture here and there. Combined with decoration around the room, make the room look like a royalty chamber than a typical nobles room.

'Well, at least I know why it's called a luxury dorm. Now, let's begin the plan.' as Angus undressed his clothes.
Then, he looks at his status panel
Host: Angus Victory
Age: 8 Years Old
MP: 10/10
Strength: 3
Dexterity: 3
Intelligence: 4
Vitality: 6
Soul Point: 31
Then, he increases his vitality into nine and his Intelligence into seven and leaves his Soul point by one. At this moment, he feels reinvigorated, and his mind becomes more apparent.
Since Angus already created a persona as a weak person, he could finally train his body properly and increase his strength to his heart's content.
As the wise man said, the best weapon is deceitfulness. Although Angus' real goal is to enjoy living in peace, he also needs some power to stay alive.
During his private lesson with Andria, he knows that to survive in this world, the only one that matters is personal strength.
Even though Angus disagreed with this kind of law, he still needed to abide by it somehow. At least he needs strength to protect himself and his loved one.
Angus increases his vitality to increase his chance to survive unexpected situations. As for increasing his intelligence is to have a better processing mind, good memory, and understanding anything better.
Angus planned to create a persona that is weak but knowledgeable, like a scholar. So, Angus needed high intelligence, at least until he could become a person with an eidetic memory. Moreover, he also could cast spells faster in some emergencies.
He found that the weakness of a powerful spell is the time it takes to cast it. Otherwise, all high-grade magicians are like mass destruction weapons that could destroy a kingdom or country in the blink of an eye as long as they have enough mana.
As for the reason, Angus didn't increase his strength and dexterity because he knows how to improve them efficiently without wasting soul points. Moreover, the increase from using the soul point feels unnatural and needs more time for his body to adjust itself.

As a master of martial arts, he will choose a weak body that he has 100% control over a stronger body that he could not control.
It is not because a stronger body doesn't have an advantage. With a 100% control body, Angus could utilize his past skill more effectively despite being weak.
His skill could bring his weakness to produce such devastating attacks that few could block. The real example is when Angus tries to run from the Andria test. It may seem that he got away with luck, but all the movement is already in his control.
Using this as an example, he didn't need to increase his strength and dexterity until his limit reached or in some emergency situation. Moreover, he could also have more endurance to handle his hard training by utilizing his current vitality.
Done inspecting his body, Angus begins his training by doing some weird stretching pose for certain amounts of time. He combined each movement while pressing some of his acupuncture points.
After doing this stretching for a few minutes, he was already sweating like crazy with rough breathing. But, he forcefully continued on and also changed his breathing rhythm.
Changing his breathing rhythm almost makes him suffocate and gasp for air. Fortunately, his nine points of vitality helped him endure this kind of training for a few hours before he stopped as he didn't have the strength to move anymore.
But, even in this position, he still forces himself to practice different breathing rhythms that he usually uses. At this moment, he sees that both his strength and dexterity already increase to five from the training he just did.
Since his current body is weak, His training result is also significant compared to when he is done at the latter time. He believes at that time he will need help from his soul point to increase his stat further.
As for his mana point itself, it has already increased to 15 points. Angus forced himself to keep practicing the breathing rhythm that almost suffocated him, raising his body endurance and absorbing chi from the surroundings.
However, since there is no chi in this world, the one he absorbed is mana. Although the effect is the same, the result is different. Since mana is easier to control than chi in his past life, he could gather and refine it more easily.
In the past, he needed a whole day of using breathing techniques just to increase the same amount of mana he gathers now.
The gathered mana itself is in a different location from the chi. The gathered mana is located at the heart, while chi is around the abdomen. Angus found in the books that this gathered mana will soon form mana core after reaching a certain threshold.
This kind of threshold is different from one person with the others. From his current knowledge, there are many techniques to form mana core faster, but all have high risk and leave hidden danger towards the user.
Angus also didn't find any technique like his breathing technique that is quite safe to gather mana, refine it, and increase one's endurance at one time. But, he knew someone in the world must also have a technique similar to his breathing technique.
Since it is an absurdly rare technique, he will not teach others as his goal is to have an enjoyable, peaceful life, not create another army that will take over the world.
Otherwise, he will already teach his family about such a technique. Still, the breathing technique is torture at first since he feels drowned and could only have a small air every few seconds before feeling drowned again.
Soon, Angus passed out from fatigue while forcefully using his breathing technique.

Law of Divine Gates
