Maria took away the dishes for Lily and Keith. I moved to the dining room and indulged in mine. For a mansion that had only four people working everything was pretty pristine. The dining table with its wide marble stretching out from one corner to another was spotless and the chandeliers hanging in the room didn't have a speck of dust on them. My feet sunk inside the fluffy carpet with each step as I took a seat at the head of the table and indulged in my meal alone.

Once I was done, I wiped my mouth, took the dishes back to the kitchen, and cleaned them up.

Lily had mentioned some classes. I didn't know what was up for me that well, so I walked out of the kitchen and to the front door.

I had no idea what room or what class I had to take, so this would be the best way to go. I'll wait for whoever comes to teach at the front door and follow them back.

pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ My plan spurred into action right away. I passed through the waving blades of grass gracefully over the stone path as I found myself in front of the metal doors of the main entrance. These were slightly worn out and rusted, four people could definitely not maintain a mansion. Or should it be three?

I crossed my arms and closed my eyes, since I was waiting anyway, I thought it would be a good time to work on my mana. Not like I had not been doing it.

It was necessary to expand my mana circuit, so I had been pumping my mana through them at all times. As my mana swirled around in my core, I started feeling a throb in my dantian.

"What the hell...?"

My eyes opened up reflexively at the strange sensation. "Ki...? This body has Ki too?"

As Yuujin, I was a pure-magic based awakener and hunter. I managed to overcome the shortcomings of my physical body by refining my mana all the way to the Aether stage and infusing it in my body, but the difference between the levels of Ki and the levels of mana for physical development was way too apparent.

To think this body would be a dual type. It wasn't anything rare to find a dual type. But for ME to be a dual type, now that was something god wouldn't ever want for even he shall be threatened.

I held in my smile. I was going to enjoy figuring out the way of Ki as well. Right as I was thinking so, a set of footsteps rang in front of me.

I immediately placed my hand on my chest and smiled. "You are here, teacher, I came to greet you."

The first teacher to have come in was a bulky man wearing clothes of common people and not of nobility.

"Heh? What's this? Did our dear young master eat a bug?"

I looked up and frowned. I had no way of recognizing the face, but someone this unpleasant couldn't be a teacher for a Marquis' son.

"Well then, who are you?" I asked, regaining the disinterest in my voice.

"Young master did a eat a bug, right?" The man said. He looked huge compared to my body. My head barely reached his stomach. It irked me a bit.

"Small man, just name yourself."

"Pfft. Did this brat just call me small man?!" The man then slapped his chest and lowered his face. "It's Keith, the only reason you're living safe and sound, young master."

Sarcasm dripped from his voice as he called me young master after calling me brat.

"Oh, so you're Keith?"

"For reals? Are you acting like we're strangers?"

He had a bulky body, almost like that of a giant orc. He was a bit too tall, I didn't recognize his hair color or his eyes, but I could tell him apart from the other two ladies in the mansion. Actually, that there were only four people in the mansion was too convenient for me. I didn't have to worry about recognizing people at all.

"Alright, I am not interested in you anymore," I said. "You may go back."

"Pfft!" Keith laughed again. I looked into his eyes. He clenched his fist and brought them swerving down.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

I easily dodged his fist that approached my head and looked at him with disdain.

"What are you doing, loser?"

Keith stuttered on his words.

"You dodged that... It was too fast for a kid...?"

"The knights of Hall call THAT fast?" I tilted my head to the side and sighed. "What a shame."

The man started laughing at my words.

His small chuckle grew into a boisterous laugh as he pulled his waist back and held his hand while laughing, the disdain in my eyes only growing stronger.

"Hey young master, do you want to train with me sometime?"

Hm, I slightly understood why he was called an outcast when he looked down at me again. This guy's mood flip-flopping was one thing, but as far as the mind went, he was capable. Where the other two maids or pretty much anyone would be confused, this guy figured out the situation and even asked me to join him.

"What can you teach me, slow and small man?" I asked, smirking.

Keith huh, he might be an interesting guy. I was planning to get close to Lily for her convenience and Maria for my mistakes and the comfort she would provide, but Keith... I had some hopes for him.

"What do you want to learn? I bet you can't do any martial arts or swing a sword."

"Please. I can do them both better than you would in a hundred years."

Keith laughed again. "Yes, yes, I don't doubt our talented young master at all. How about using your Ki then? Well, I doubt you have—"

"Are you good?" I interrupted him.

Keith grinned.

"Very good."

I lifted my hand and he clasped it back.

"Deal. Tomorrow morning, I'll sate your curiosity and you can teach me about Ki."

"My, my, young master has grown perceptive. Deal it is, just don't cry afterward."

Saying that, Keith simply passed me by. He was surely not fit to be a knight with that attitude of his, but that's what made him fun. As he went away, I realized I still had to think of the classes, so I called out to the man.

"Hey Keith! Tell me where I need to attend lessons at first!"

"Whaat?" Keith answered back without looking at me, he dismissively waved his hands as he walked away. "Whatever, just stay there. I'll send Lily."

That works too.
