185 Intensive Training (2/2)
Taking large mouthfuls of water Lachlan felt the piercing ice engulf his body before getting overwhelmed with the warmth that seeped deep into his bones and muscles. His energy was swiftly rejuvenated and turned back to Kawata. ”Alright, let's do that again.”
Kawata laughed boisterously with his arms behind his back. ”Alright, since you want to continue training then it would be rude of me to just leave to by yourself. Come on then, I can go another day doing this, I wonder if you could do the same.”
”Oh I can,” Lachlan and Kawata immediately go into position. The rest of the group followed along as well; although their muscles were sore and their bones were aching, after a quick break and the assistance of the stream water they were able to get back into action.
…
Elsewhere, in the hustling city filled with life. Chloe and Flynn were currently both inside a small office alongside Mariel. They were currently inside the property building, a place where property is usually handled professionally. With houses and plots of land begin sold and bought.
”Alright, so you wish to buy the property on 35th Flanders Street in the food district, correct?” A real estate agent asked with a document in front of her. She looked like the usual real estate agent, dark brown hair that reached past her shoulders. A tightly fitted outfit that brought out her curves and sharp glasses. Her eyes were dark blue, a type of blue that seemed to lure people into them.
Flynn shook his head slightly, breaking out of a trance. Looking down he noticed a heel digging into his foot, he felt a cold gave encompass his entire body, specifically the crotch region. Turning his head he noticed Chloe staring at him coldly.
She turned around to face the real estate agent and brought out her best of smiles. A cold smile that was completely frightening to both Flynn and the real estate agent. ”Yes, that's correct, there should be no issues with our purchase, correct?”
Currently, the laws of the world have drastically changed. Now, whenever a foreigner wants to purchase land there are no issues. Mainly because not everyone that was in America when the world evolved was American, rather, some people were just there to enjoy a peaceful holiday which was rudely disrupted with the chaos and destruction.
However, because of this, land is easily purchased no matter who you are or for whatever reason you're purchasing it. Although the government does keep a close eye on everything, they don't monitor all beginning transactions due to their time schedule being filled with meetings about public safety and the future progress of humanity.
Flynn and Chloe immediately finished up the paperwork before giving Marie a call. Marie was currently finishing a few things up with the Explorers Guild, signing a few papers similar to Flynn and Chloe before finally getting some time to relax.
Unfortunate, their day didn't end there. They still had to go to Risky Miners to set up a deal with Chris for some construction work with their buildings. Then, for Flynn and Chloe, the two would have to go to Christina to sign a few more professional papers for furniture for their restaurant. Chairs, tables, and decoration.
Fortunately, that stuff didn't take long, however, this time it cost a bit of money. As unlike the last deal which was based off the fact that they were going to be advertised to a wide range of individuals, some possibly becoming influential figures in the future; the current deal was just for a small restaurant.
Construction didn't take long, only a day. Construction was one of the few things that sped up drastically with the assistance of beasts and elemental control. It was also the main reason as to why buildings had a stable foundation and why Atlanta currently had a 15-metre-thick wall surrounding the city.
After that, they immediately went back to the island to rest. Their minds felt as though they were going to collapse from exhaustion. Even the water couldn't help, although it did make them feel physically better which did technically improve their mood.
However, what really lifted their mood was the sight of the group training in the field with Kawata shouting at them all like some high tiered commander. They noticed the sweat pouring off their bodies, seeping from the sweat glands as their muscles squeezed tightly against their skin.
”What are you all doing?” Chloe asked as she walked over, waving slightly. Everyone looked over with sunken eyes, it looked as though their spirits have been sucked from their bodies. Kawata, on the other hand, was bright a cheerful was ever.
”What does it look like they're going? Obviously, they're training,” Kawata responded in the group's stead. ”It seems they were rather confident in their strength, so I just happened to show them who's boss. Granted, I only managed to momentarily win, in a life or death battle I probably wouldn't last against any of them for a longer period.”
”Oh, can I give it a try then,” Chloe said as she got into a fighting stance. Kawata grinned before getting into a fighting stance of his own, different to the one he used before against Lachlan and Simon. He looked to be in a squatting position they were currently doing.
”Come,” Kawata said with a slight gesture of his hand.
