“I thought Uncle Galen said that we’re not supposed to use longswords…” Maron asked out of the blue, the thought suddenly occurring to him.
“I don’t know, you should ask Uncle Galen,” David said with a shrug of his shoulders as he took the longsword back from Maron.
“Maron, go practice and train hard. Don’t compare yourself to David, just be the best version of yourself!” Galen said in a solemn voice as he walked to the two of them.
After hearing the familiar words, Maron hung his head low, picked the warhammer up from the ground, and began to train.
David felt as if Galen’s words had given Maron yet another blow.
“David, employees across all ranks of Leeson Security have been taken away for investigation. The company has also been shut down, so we just have to wait for news now,” Galen informed him.
Just now, he had been contacting some people to get them to begin the investigation on Leeson Security, a company that had no powerful background or the slightest ability to retaliate when faced with a thorough, official investigation.
“Uncle Galen, sorry to trouble you. Thank you!” David thanked him gratefully.
“David, hurry and grow up. I might need your help in the future!” Galen joked with a chuckle.
To David, it was just a joke Galen had cracked, but to Galen, it was the truth.
It was rather chaotic in Pelan City today and the huge battle between the nine armorers caused massive noises that made the hearts of the people nearby quiver.
Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the police came to deal with it.
Not long after, the premises of the largest security company in Pelan City, Leeson Security Company, was surrounded by a large number of police officers. The authorities had even sent several armorers to accompany them.
The general manager of Leeson Security, the clerks, even the janitors were all taken away. All of the company’s optical computers were confiscated too.
After the police left, the place was cordoned off by Skynet, and the red screen displayed information stating that Leeson Security had been designated as a restricted area. All illegal trespassers would be tracked by Skynet.
David spent the day practicing the Stormy Warhammer technique in the underground gym. Although he was tempted to go back to his bedroom to check on what the Shadow Servant had obtained, Galen valued him greatly and demanded that he continue practicing, again and again.
David and Maron trained until around five in the afternoon, until they were both dripping with sweat. They had consumed an enormous amount of the Class 1 strengthened meat as well.
Of course, the gap between the two of them did not decrease just because of the passage of time. After practicing for a day and getting stimulated by the battle between armorers, David’s true level of Warhammer Mastery had almost reached the 50% Intermediate Level.
He would probably be on par with Amos, the head of the Strat Hotel security team, in just one day.
On the other hand, Maron was still only at the pre-Beginner level. If he wasn’t compared to David, the fact that he had learned most of the Stormy Warhammer Technique at all would be considered quite an achievement.
“Okay, that’s all for today!” Galen announced with a clap of his hands as he looked at the exhausted duo.
“Great, my arms feel like they’re going to break!” Maron said, shaking his arms and placing his hammer on the ground.
“Maron, your aptitude isn’t great, so you must practice more,” Galen reminded Maron.
Maron became dumbfounded when he heard the comment on his aptitude. It was a huge blow to him.
However, he immediately calmed down when he saw David beside him.
“Uncle Galen must have been comparing me to David! That’s all!” he continuously repeated in his mind.
“David, the lead at Leeson Security has been broken. Supervisor Gilson, who served you, has committed suicide at the police station,” Galen informed David, sounding extremely displeased with the police system.
Everyone knew that it was practically impossible to commit suicide in the police station, where there were surveillance cameras and watchful policemen everywhere. How could Supervisor Gilson have committed suicide so easily?
However, they were not on Galen’s turf, and his men could not find anything out there. They could only rely on the local police system, but it would be hard to find out anything else when the trail of leads was broken.
“The rest of the staff at Leeson Security, including their general manager, were unaware of the details of the security system of your residence, but since this act was committed by personnel of Leeson Security, they will have to deal with some consequences anyway,” Galen continued. Looking at him at the moment, David felt that Galen looked a bit like a bandit.
Not noticing David’s stare, Galen stated, “I kept the main server from Leeson Security. Someone will deliver it to you later. I know you’ve studied the relevant information about it, so that main server should be of some help to you. However, what you’re studying is a bit complicated. Don’t lose focus. Physical and technical skills are your foundation.”
“Thank you, Uncle Galen,” David couldn’t remember how many times he had thanked Galen, but he could not restrain his excitement when he found out what he was about to receive.
The main servers of security companies were of a small server level, which was more powerful than his K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device.
At least when he launched a remote attack on a certain target, the effects could be greatly improved by using a real server.
At the end of the day, the K2 Military Electronic Warfare Retaliation Device was just a portable combat device that was compatible with a large number of offensive programs and military-grade electronic signals, which could all be purchased off the shelf. However, it was still far from servers in terms of computing.
Galen smiled. It was just a casual act and in fact, Leeson Security should be thanking him for letting go of them so easily. Otherwise, their entire company would have collapsed.
After having dinner together, Maron dragged his exhausted body back to his room on the first floor. After having gone through such arduous training, he had long since lost the desire to go out and play.
Meanwhile, Galen left the residence and went out to attend to his own matters.
When David returned to the bedroom, he immediately called the Shadow Servant to his side and pressed a hand on its body.
Before he could sense the Knowledge Orbs that the Shadow Servant obtained inside his body, he was engulfed by a wave of warm energy. It was not quite right to say that he was engulfed by it, but rather, his soul was wrapped in the warm energy.
He could feel a strong sense of comfort rising within his soul, just like what the Shadow Servant had transmitted to him previously.
The fatigue that he had felt after a long day, followed by the relief in his soul, made him doze off subconsciously.
When he woke up again, the time on his identity bracelet showed that it was already ten o’clock at night.
“Shadow Servant, display my attribute panel!” he ordered the Shadow Servant as he once again pressed his hand on its body.
On his attribute panel, he saw ‘Mental Energy: 3.4 (1),’ meaning his Mental Energy had increased by 0.4 arbitrary units.
As his Mental Energy had increased, all sorts of new insights appeared in his mind when he recalled the Stormy Warhammer Technique. He saw the Stormy Warhammer Technique change from 82% Intermediate to 83% Intermediate on the attribute panel right in front of him.
In other words, he now had his own knowledge of Warhammer Mastery through his enlightenment during the daytime Bodywork exercises, which was beyond the knowledge contained in the Warhammer Mastery Knowledge Orb from Amos.
“Maybe I really am a genius,” David said in a narcissistic manner.
Amos had gone through countless battles to obtain such impressive results. Yet he had improved 1% just by thinking about it. How could he not be proud of himself?
However, when he started thinking about the Electronic Warfare Retaliation, he did not have any insight, let alone experienced an increase in his proficiency.
Still feeling somewhat unconvinced at the stats, he tried the Heavy-axe Mastery (33% Beginner) and Body Art (1% Intermediate) again. However, just thinking about it alone would not result in any growth, not even by 1%.
He thought about the Stormy Warhammer Technique that Galen had taught him, as well as the five Luminous Armorers whom he had watched use the Stormy Warhammer Technique against the enemy today. He couldn’t help but shake his head. It turned out that this was where the 1% increase in his Warhammer Mastery Intermediate level had come from.
Amos did not have the opportunity to learn the Stormy Warhammer Technique. The improvement in his Warhammer Mastery was entirely from actual combat. Now that David had the Stormy Warhammer Technique, he could naturally surpass Amos in terms of knowledge.
Having found the reason behind the increase, David finally focused his attention on the Shadow Servant’s body. He happened to see four additional Knowledge Orbs.
This time, two of the extra Knowledge Orbs were an intense, yellow color.
The other two Knowledge Orbs were orange, which should be the Intermediate-level Knowledge Orbs.
The four Knowledge Orbs also proved something that he had not been 100% sure of: only one Knowledge Orb could be drawn from each soul.
He focused his attention on the four Knowledge Orbs and their attributes were revealed.
Longsword Mastery (80% Proficiency), Spear Mastery (99% Proficiency), Shield Mastery (50% Intermediate), and Heavy-axe Mastery (70% Intermediate).
