The Mech Lord

Chapter 29 - 28: The Art Of Kicking Is Not Easy



"What is he doing in his room up there?" Viona asked while looking at the servant who was earlier sent to check on Leo after hearing some crashing noises.

"Apparently, Master Aiden's stuff fell on the floor," The servant replied with a forced smile. It was obvious that Leo was lying, how can he let his stuff fall so many times over in a couple minutes.

But eventually the noises slowly ceased.

Aiden's room.

Leo was currently in his bathroom standing there with the floor smeared with liquid soap all around. He didn't know how many times he had crashed just in order to complete a hundred rounds of back and forth between the two opposite walls.

This was the third method to strengthen your balance.

'You sure this is helping me Arthur?' He couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

[Don't doubt my creator's technique. We are just starting at Lv 0 of the Slippery Floor Method. At Lv 25 I will be making you hop around the place on just one leg.]

Leo froze at those words, 'You sure, I won't end up with concussions?'

Even with both his feet and walking at the pace of a snail, Leo had crashed dozen of times. And Arthur wanted him to hop around on one leg.

He got to be be joking with him.

Actually the floor shouldn't have been this slippery with just liquid soap but Leo being smart had looked over the galactic net to make a solution that would literally trip you with a hundred percent guarantee.

And this was the result here.

So, the thing below just didn't have liquid soap but oil, cream and a few other stuff that he had found around.

[Clean it up I will teach you the fourth method..]

Method 4: Dancing with Death

"Thud!"

Leo crashed into the floor once again letting out a groan.

As for what he was doing right now?

Well, he had took out his spear from the shelf and kept one of its side on the bed while the other on the chair. His task was to stand on its thin pole and maintain his balance.

'This is hard..'

[At Lv 25 of this method you will be doing the same thing on the railing of your terrace.]

Arthur was being more and more savage now.

Leo's face twitched at its words, if he fell from that height then he wasn't sure what state he would end up into.

...

Method 5: Mountain Through Seasons

For this method, Leo had to use Arthur's ability and activate [Virtual Projection]. After all, he had no control over the seasons. This method was the worse of all. He just had to repeat the four methods from before here but all while bearings the harsh changes in season with his naked body and enduring a mental torture.

He really couldn't understand just how did he managed to reach this point when he just wanted to throw a kick.

Anyway, Leo laid down on his bed while closing his eyes and as soon as he did, the [Virtual Projection] activated and the darkness around dissipated revealing a blue worlds with grid like lines running across the plane.

[Customizing the Word…]

[Location: Green Planet]

[Season: Summer]

[Living Being: None]

The blue world suddenly started to change as images began to appear in the boxes of the grids. Suddenly, sunlight fell in Leo's eyes and he placed his hand over his eyes to protect it from the bright light.

And when he finally move away and removed it to give a proper look around, the world had already formed.

Leo was really surprised as he looked around.

He suddenly fond himself in a wilderness and could see a lot of things around, there was forest behind with different kind of beautiful plant species and then there was a huge water fall on the opposite side of the cliff from where he was standing.

Leo decided to look around in excitement but it didn't lasted ling and he soon found the heat to be unbearable.

[Its time for you to start..]

As soon as Arthur said those words, the ground below Leo rose up into the sky and he was obviously shocked at he sudden change. But the worse had yet to come.

With the rise in height, Leo felt the heat grow even stronger and he was sure that he was going to end up with terrible sunburns when his clothes suddenly disappeared.

[Let's practice the first two stance today…]

Leo knew that he really had underestimate the art of throwing kicks, a hellish training regime would be in front of him if he wanted to level up to become an Elite.

And the day passed with Leo being tortured by Arthur.

The next day arrived…

Leo got up hearing the ringing of his alarm. His body was sore all over. All the crashes from yesterday had come to haunt him early in the morning.

He yawned while getting out of the blanket and asked, 'Are there any increase in stats, Arthur?'

[None, it takes time. You can't rule the world in one day.]

'Why would I even want to rule the world?' Leo retorted in his half sleep state as he put the toothbrush in his mouth and began brushing.

After he was done with it, he got out of his room planning to take a walk in the garden or something. It was a habit of his to go on walk early in the morning back on earth. It also helped him to get in contact with the trash collectors who went out for work in the early morning.

Leo would then use his skills to lure them into selling their trash to his shop.

He suddenly smiled reminiscing about the time which was gone now.

As Leo got out and walked around the mansion's garden, he heard a voice from his left.

"You are up early in the morning?"

He turned his head around to look and surprised.

Who would have thought he would have bumped into the body's father in the garden?

Looking at his body drenched in sweat and the sword marks all around, Lear could tell that he was here practicing.

It seemed that even someone like him practiced like this. No wonder he managed to reach such a state and earned himself a title of the Hero.

"Want to spar with me for a bit?" Edgar asked with a smile making the smile on Leo's face to vanish.

"I am fine, I think," Leo shook his head.

He didn't have a death wish.

"You don't want to train with me?" Edgar asked in surprise, he couldn't imagine Aiden would say that to him some day.

"No, I am an enforcer of non-violence. Please excuse me then." With that, Leo hurriedly ran away from the place afraid that he would stop him.

Edgar looked at Leo's back and sighed. Back then he didn't have time and now that he took time out for him, it was already too late.

Leo breathed in relief after getting out of the place.

He admired the man, but he precisely knew how strong he was that he didn't want to fight with him.

Not to mention, Leo had found out yesterday that Aiden was supposed to be around Lv 4 or above. It was written in his admission documents that he was measure to be at Lv 4 during the time of his admission.

But Leo was only at Lv 1 for some reason.

This was a bit odd and if he sparred with Edgar, he was sure that the man would have assumed Leo's strength to be around Lv 4 or higher. That could have spelled a disaster for him and led to an injury possibly. So, he had refused him.

Leo took a short tour around the place and then returned to his room before he was called down for his break fast.

"I have arranged a meeting with Dr. Malfoy today. He is the leading medical profession in the field of Psychiatry and Neurology. I heard he is an expert in handling cases like yours," Edgard said as he looked at Leo.

Leo nodded but sighed inwardly, he had seen this coming long ago.
