Summoned and Unwanted

Chapter 342

342 Try to keep up with me

-...-

“Does Plow want to spend most of the day with me?” Vincent moved Plow and got out of bed.

“No” *Pho* “Plow wants all day.” Plow looked at Vincent with a pair of puppy eyes. She wagged her tails and acted cutely.

Vincent grabbed a couple of bandages and wrapped them around his waist to cover his hero mark. Not all residents knew about his real identity. Additionally, he wanted to practice moving with a bandage covering his waist.

“Plow, I was planning to spend most of my day training.” Vincent looked at Plow begging for attention, and he couldn’t resist. *sigh* “But Plow could help me rest better during my breaks.”

Vincent wore his clothes and lifted an excited Plow. She licked his cheeks and barked happily.

Vincent, with Plow perched on his shoulder, went to the kitchen. He ate breakfast with Yula, Tula, the five children, and the twins.

Yula explained how Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Sakura were eating breakfast in the garden in their usual spot. Maid Xu and Sofy were preparing a room for when Fabio visited. He informed them about bringing a few prototype wedding dresses for the brides and a few suits for Vincent to try.

Vincent spent some time eating breakfast in the kitchen. He felt relaxed in the company of children smiling, eating, and praising Yula for the great tasting food. It almost made him forget the ordeal that had happened the previous day.

.....

‘I have to become stronger and control my power. I need to learn how to use Force Shock without the help of Overheat and Overflow. I can’t spend Soul Power to use Soul Reset every time I want to protect someone important to me, and they are too far to reach in time.’ Vincent thought with a determined mindset. He wanted to grow stronger both in stats and skill mastery.

Tula extended her arms, and her hands approached Plow. She wanted to cuddle with the little blue fox like usual, but Plow used her tails to push her hands away.

“No!” *Pho* “Plow has date with Vincent Vincent today.” Plow licked the plate for the last time and went over to Vincent.

“Vincent Vincent train today. Plow help rest.” *pho* Plow proudly boasted with her eyes closed and her snout raised facing the ceiling.

“But...” Tula looked unhappy. She was going to miss her daily dose of Plow.

“Can I come?” Lenn promptly asked.

“I want to train too.” Renn promptly said.

[Well, they call you teacher after all. Furthermore, you can have two training partners to match your growth rate.]

“Okay. The two of you can join me, but remember to take it easy, or Eliara and Fliara will need to take your shift. ” Vincent warned against overtraining. He placed Plow on his shoulder and stood up.

Vincent saw the twins nod with a determined gaze. “Let’s go then.” He told them. Their motivation to train with Vincent could be seen from miles away.

[Could you ask Lian if he wants to come with us? I noticed him glance at you and then look at the plate. He looked a bit sad.]

-I will ask, but I didn’t notice since he never showed interest in training.-

Vincent looked at Lian. “Do you want to come with us and spend some manly time together? Do you want to become stronger with us, Lian?” He asked.

Lian raised his head with a beaming smile radiating on his face. It was apparent he was nervous to ask.

Lian placed the fork on the plate and climbed down from the chair. He went beside Vincent and said, “I want to learn from the hero too. I want to become awesome like my hero.”

Vincent gave Lian a head pat and signaled to be followed. Shortly, the twins and Lian followed Vincent with a smile out of the kitchen.

“The boys left, and we girls are the only ones here. So how about I peel you all a fruit?” Yula asked Tula, Leah, Clara, and Beth.

“Yes, I want one.” They all said with their hand raised almost at the same time.

In the wooden gazebo, Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Sakura were drinking a cup of tea. They knew Fabio should arrive soon, so they ate a light breakfast as they needed to have the wedding dress fit from yesterday’s measurements.

However, one woman had it the hardest. Lilith ate less than half an egg, and she was prepared to eat nothing else for the day. She was barely eating for ordinary people’s standards, but it was a lot of food for her.

Lilith took a few sips of soup yesterday, and she felt she took a sip too much. ‘One more day.’ She kept thinking.

“I hear footsteps.” *sniff, sniff* “It’s my mate!” Lupa said with a bright smile but *sniff, sniff* “Humph. My mate is with the sneaky fox.”

Vincent approached the girls and greeted them. He asked how they were doing and later explained what he and the three behind him were going to do.

Lupa wanted to join, but she was quickly rejected. “Lupa, you will distract the boys.” He told her. Lupa looked sad, and her ears lowered.

[Her competitive nature might make everyone overtrain. But I wonder how a buffed Lupa would look like, hehe.]

-...-

“Ester, you look sobered up now, hehe.” Vincent joked to change the mood. His words caused Ester to blush lightly and Lilith to grin. It appeared she heard what Ester experienced in her date.

Vincent noticed more than half an egg remaining on Lilith’s plate. His blood started to boil with anger, and his will to train fiercely increased.

‘I feel bad to make Lilith wait more days with the curse ruining her body and health. The wedding dress is probably making Lilith more stressed as well. I would have tortured Demel Blackheart more if it wasn’t for the need to let him kill himself.’ Vincent thought, but he couldn’t tell Lilith to eat whatever she pleased until he cures her curse. He felt guilty.

Vincent turned around. He raised his hand and said, “Come and find me if Fabio wants me to try out an outfit.” He waved and left with Lenn, Renn, and Lian.

Later, the four of them found a quiet place in the garden. Vincent removed his shirt and started stretching and doing warming-up exercises.

Lenn and Renn copied Vincent, but little Lian was a beginner.

Vincent noticed Lian trying even if he found it challenging. “Lian, let me, Lenn, and Renn show you how it is done. ” Vincent said to involve the twins. He hoped the three of them could build a friendly bond.

“Lian can become stronger with us. We can help you.” Lenn encouraged.

“Yeah, Lian can become a strong warrior one day. Let’s train together.” Renn encouraged.

Lian became excited. He removed his shirt and raised a beaming smile. “Let’s start! I want to become a hero too!”

Plow found Vincent’s shirt, took a whiff and sat on it. *Pho* “Plow will watch.” She said while looking comfy, resting on his shirt.

After helping Lian for some time, the four of them started doing push-ups and squats.

However, Lian was the first one to feel sore. He went to rest beside Plow.

“Lian Lian. When will Vincent Vincent rest.” *Pho?* Plow asked.

Lian tried to pet Plow, but his strength couldn’t let his arm lift without feeling sore. “I think so...” He didn’t look as enthusiastic about training anymore now.

Lenn and Renn were starting to feel tired, but what they heard next made their eyes open wide in shock.

“That is enough warm-up. Let’s start training for real.” Vincent decided it was time to use the body adaptations to train, similar to when he trained with Koss.

The mana started to collect on his body, and the pressure weighed him down. Vincent took a step, and it sounded similar to a person wearing a hundred-pound vest. “Yep, this reminds me of the time when I trained with your father.” He told the twins with a smile.

Lenn and Renn replicated what Vincent did, yet they didn’t increase the weight by a lot as the mastery of their body adaptation wasn’t that high. However, the two didn’t last too long training their body with this method as they tried to exercise more than they usually do.

The twins stopped and when to rest beside Plow and Lian about ten minutes later while heavily breathing and their muscles sore.

Plow went to Vincent after he was the only one not taking a break. “Plow wants Vincent Vincent to take a break.” *Pho*She wagged her tails and barked cutely to attract his attention.

Vincent lifted his body from a push-up. His veins were throbbing, and his muscles were hard as steel. His body looked as if it was reaching its limit.

Vincent sat down and summoned a cloth to wipe his sweat. “Come, Plow. You can sit now.” He patted on his legs for the little blue fox to sit on him.

Vincent offered Lenn, Renn, and Lian something to drink. They chatted about food and their favorites. Later, they played who has the rock with Plow. She had a lot of fun running from one person to the other and looking at each of their closed fists.

The serious Plow looked cute, and it was hilarious watching Plow pick the wrong hand. Plow would look devested, yet she would want to try again a few seconds later.

“Lord Vincent. I was told you would be here.”

Vincent turned his head and saw Fabio. He had a coupled of leaves on his clothes, and he looked as if he was lost for some time.
