Chapter 485: Big News

The next few days, Bloed was surprised to find Regina training the girls like crazy.

They started training from early in the morning until late in the night, only stopping to eat, sleep, and for occasional short breaks.

Bloed was dumbfounded, but when he asked Regina what they were doing this for, she just replied to him that they needed to become stronger.

Thus, for the first time in a long time, neither Regina nor any other girl was glued to Bloed the entire day.

Only Gina occasionally visited him, but the honey-haired girl still needed rest, so she could not spend much time with him.

Bloed used this unexpected time alone to study the problem in his body. He expected to find a solution for it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, it was easier said than done.

The problem with his body was pretty serious. He needed to find a way to strengthen his organs so they can endure the burden of the abundant mana in his body.

The main problem was his heart. As long as he could make his heart a few times stronger, then his problem would be mostly resolved.

'The question is how to strengthen it.'

Bloed had thought of several methods, but none of them resolved the problem completely.

The mana in his body would continue increasing with time. Even if he strengthened his heart now, before long, the same problem would occur again.

He needed a heart that could keep with that increase of mana. A heart that could grow as his mana grew.

None of the ideas he thought of could resolve that problem.

'It can't be that easy, huh.'

Bloed sighed to himself, however, he was not discouraged.

From the start, an important part of science was to make hypothesis, research them, and determine if they were suitable before discarding them.

Most of the advances in science and technology were accompanied by hundreds and thousands of tests and failures. Only like that science could advance.

Likewise, Bloed was confident that his attempts and failures now would eventually lead to success.

Bloed continued trying new ideas in his laboratory, and like that, several days passed.

One day, an unexpected visitor appeared in the middle of his experiments.

"Big brother Bloed, I bring big news!"

"Prince Calisto? What are you doing here?"

"Look at this, Big brother Bloed!" The lionkin prince pointed to a notice he was holding in his hand.

Bloed looked at it and realized it was information about the War of Clubs. It said that due to the attack in the city, the War of Clubs would be suspended.

Bloed raised an eyebrow, but he was not surprised. He was already expecting it.

"What do you want to show me?" He asked the young lionkin prince.

"Look below!" The prince excitedly pointed to the lower part of the notice.

Bloed followed his finger and saw that it was information about the final placement of the clubs.

But then, he opened his eyes wide.

"Twenty-Nine?"

"Yes, twenty-nine! Machine Revolutio is in the twenty-ninth place!"

Bloed was stunned. What was this?

He did not have any idea why this happened.

Machine Revolutio should not have enough points to reach this place. At most, he should be somewhere between the fortieth place and the fiftieth place.

"Do you know what is it about?" He asked the lionkin prince.

"Someone asked the Headmistress about it. Apparently, it's due to the club's contributions during the attack. Some people did not like it, but when the headmistress said that we had contributed to the defeat of several demigods, nobody dared to oppose it."

"I see." Bloed fell deep in thought.

Honestly, it was not bad for them. If Machine Revolutio had a higher rank, it would help to make the club more famous.

"Also, that is not the only news." Prince Calisto said at that moment.

Bloed looked at him curiously and urged him to speak with his eyes.

"Big brother Bloed, the Headmistress also announced that she accepted you as his student! Amazing! I did not know that you were the student of the headmistress!"

Bloed was stunned, but soon, he smiled wryly.

He had forgotten about that.

The headmistress had told him that she would announce that he was her student publicly if he made Machine Revolutio one of the top thirty clubs, and now, the Headmistress rewarded Machine Revolutio with the twenty-ninth place before making the fact that he was her student public.

The manipulation could not be more obvious.

However, Bloed understood her intentions.

Being Headmistress Wave's student gave him another layer of protection. This way, many people would not dare to touch him.

Also, she could use this relationship to criticize some forces for the attacks against him.

Such as the Kingdom of Alterna.

When he realized Headmistress Wave's intentions, Bloed felt warm inside him.

'I guess I need to thank her later.'

Just when Bloed was thinking about that, the tower's AI announced that someone was visiting.

Bloed was startled and hurriedly checked who it was, only to see a familiar face.

Isabella Castor, the second strongest student in the city.

Surprised, Bloed hurriedly finished what he was doing and went to greet the visitor.

"Miss Isabella. I was not expecting your visit."

"Hello, Mr. Bloed. Or should I call you fellow student now?" Isabella giggled. "How sly. You didn't tell me that you were planning to steal my teacher from me."

Bloed rolled his eyes.

"Can't we share her?"

"That doesn't seem like a bad idea," Isabella smirked before patting his shoulder. "Teacher asked me to bring you to her. She needs to speak with you. Come, follow me."

Bloed was startled before nodding and following after her.

"I understand. Let's go."
