The First Store System

Chapter 525: Beginning of the Suffering!

“You would train with her,” Aakesh told Lily, pointing at Autumn.

“Oh, Autumn,” Lily nodded, looking at Autumn.

“Ancestor, you don’t have to worry. This one year of training would be one of the best phases of your life,” Autumn smilingly commented.

The smile on Lily’s face froze, hearing what Autumn said. What Autumn said wasn’t anything dangerous, but she didn’t know why she felt a chill running down her spine.

“I don’t want to start from today,” Lily looked up at Aakesh and told him in her childlike voice. At the same time, she rubbed her head in his hands.

Aakesh had no issues with it, so he nodded and smilingly responded, “Okay, your training would start from tomorrow.”

“You don’t need to battle me anymore. Focus only on training Lily,” Aakesh looked at Autumn and told her with an expressionless face.

His reason for stopping his training was that after Autumn raised her strength by five levels, her power level turned into something undefeatable. Despite training with her for the last more than a decade, he hadn’t been able to grow much, so he decided to stop here since one extra year wouldn’t be able to wedge the gap between her and him.

“You will train her regarding the various skills she had learned, while I will train her in physical combat,” Aakesh suddenly commented, bringing a look of surprise on Lily’s face.

The decision to train Lily in physical combat was made by Aakesh on the spur of the moment since he wouldn’t be fighting Autumn any longer this year. Only Katrina remained, who turned out to be even mightier than Autumn.

After considering it, Aakesh decided to pour his complete concentration onto Lily’s training this year.

‘Is even that worth my training?’ Lily couldn’t help but think in her heart after hearing that Aakesh would train her.

When it came to training, Aakesh was an entirely different person.

Just thinking about Aakesh when he trained her sent chills down Lily’s spine.

“You don’t have to do that,” Lily looked up and told Aakesh. She tried to control herself, but still, a slight tremble could be heard in her voice.

Even Katrina, who was silently seated on her chair, looked at Lily with pity. If a monster, who never got tired from their training, trained someone, then only some higher power could save them.

Aakesh could guess what Lily was thinking in her mind right now, but he only smilingly rubbed her fur without speaking even a word.

Time flew by.

The day finally came to an end and announced the beginning of a new day.

With it, Lily’s rest also came to an end. It was now time for her full-year training to begin. Lily could see an entire year of suffering since Autumn’s behavior toward her had changed after Aakesh requested her to be the trainer. As for Aakesh, she didn’t have to guess. She knew him perfectly well.

“Let Autumn train you first,” Just like a rooster, who welcomes the sun with its cries without stopping for even a day, Aakesh told Lily after the system informed him about the beginning of a new day.

‘Let me have another breakthrough,’ Lily thought in her heart as she dreaded nothing more than the beginning of the training.

“There are no shortcuts when it comes to training,” Aakesh could guess Lily’s thoughts at the moment, so he commented.

The usual smile he had on his face whenever he talked with Lily was nowhere to be seen, and what welcomed Lily was an expressionless face that wouldn’t move no matter what Lily attempted.

Lily begrudgingly jumped down from Aakesh’s head and took a step forward. When her front feet were in the air, she looked back at Aakesh, but only an expressionless face welcomed her.

Lily had no choice but to go to the battle arena used by Aakesh when he trained with Autumn and Katrina.

Since Lily couldn’t break the space like Aakesh, she traveled to the arena on foot.

“Hey, cow, it’s time for you,” Katrina joked, seeing Lily.

Autumn ignored what Katrina said and disappeared from her chair. The next moment, she appeared in the middle of the arena.

Since Katrina has gotten free from training Aakesh for this next year, she decided to do nothing but sleep since it had been a long time since she had a deep sleep.

The next moment, her eyes closed down, announcing her sleep. It will now only open after Aakesh successfully crossed the world created by the ruler and contacted her.

“What is it, and what do you want me to do if I want it?” Carlos asked the stall owner in front of him. His tone contained nothing but coldness since there was no one who Carlos hated more than the stall owner.

A smile spread across the stall owner’s face as he looked at Carlos.

“Why so much hatred for me? I am not forcing you to fulfill my requirement. You don’t have to do it,” The stall owner smilingly told Carlos, ignoring his question.

Carlos’s eyes turned red from rage after hearing the stall owner’s statement, but before he could flare up, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

“Why spout so much bullshit?” Carlos coldly commented and then repeated his previous question about the product.

The stall owner seemed unfazed by Carlos’s reaction, but he still answered what he wanted to know since he was a stall owner.

“It is 6th Gradient Crown,” The stall owner answered.

“If you want it, you have to fulfill my requirement.”

“Bring me a million heads with fearful expressions on them,” The stall owner further added and informed Carlos of his condition.

“If even one head doesn’t have a fearful expression, you don’t need to come here with them,” The stall owner warned Carlos. The next moment, the stall owner and his stall disappeared like the previous cities Carlos had crossed.

Carlos felt a chill down his spine after hearing the condition the stall owner has put for him to get the 6th Gradient Crown.

Carlos could clearly see how those million heads were going to look when he began the mission.

Carlos took a deep breath and turned around to start his mission since he had no choice but to do them if he wanted to cross into the new cities and someday have his revenge.
