Chapter 10 A New Beginning
Upon waking up, Ulysses found a foreign object in his bed. This foreign object hugged him tightly like a koala, and at the same time, it exuded a sweet breath that was unique to a beautiful girl.
"Aya, how many times do I have to tell you not to crawl into my bed while I sleep!" Ulysses angrily pulled the "foreign object"-Aya away from him.
"Ah! Good morning! Master!" Aya stretched and greeted Ulysses with sleepy eyes. The appearance of that beautiful girl waking up was really alluring. Looking at Aya, who was completely unguarded against him, Ulysses felt a faint sign of an organ in his lower body slowly standing up.
‘This is bad! I have to leave this little devil quickly!’ Feeling the abnormality of his body, Ulysses hurriedly jumped out of the bed and turned his back to Aya, "next time, you are absolutely not allowed to climb into my bed without my consent, Aya."
"Okay, Master." Aya’s unhurried voice came from behind.
Ulysses knew that she would definitely ignore his words, because he had given similar orders countless times, and Aya had never listened once. However, these orders still had a little effect, at least she didn't get into his bed without clothes like the first time. But even with such a little effect, Ulysses was already satisfied.
If Aya seduced him without wearing clothes again, he would definitely lose control of himself. In fact, even he himself was surprised that he could endure until now and still hadn’t lost his vi**nity. You know, if there's an unsuspecting pretty girl hanging around you all day and sleeping in the same bed with you at night, you can still resist the urge to do anything appropriate to her. Then congratulations, you already deserve the noble title of "saint".
However, Ulysses knew well that his spiritual training was far from reaching the level of a "saint". What supported him in suppressing his desire was the vow he made to keep his body clean before becoming a priest. In order to become a respected priest, he was determined to resist Aya's temptation. But this was easy to say, but difficult to do. In the face of Aya's temptation that could drive any male crazy, his physical instincts were always eager to move regardless of his full suppression. If this continued, his fall was only a matter of time.
‘No, I can't keep thinking about it anymore!’ Ulysses stopped thinking quickly. At this time, Aya's sweet voice came from behind, "Master, it's time to do basic exercises."
"Oh, then let's go right away!" Today was the seventh day he became a demon king. In these seven days, Aya did not teach him any light magic in the book of the demon king, but let him carry out some basic warrior training to get him used to the new body. On the first day he had a new body, he couldn't even walk well. This body equivalent to an excellent level five warrior really made Ulysses who had been accustomed to his original mage body suffer a lot, and no matter what he did, he would use too much force. Even taking a glass to drink water would break the glass due to excessive force. When walking, he felt like flying on flat ground, and he couldn't find any balance at all, causing him to fall countless times.
"Yes, Master." Aya's body began to emit a soft purple light, and her body gradually became crystal-like transparent. After a while, Aya's figure disappeared completely in the room, leaving only the soft purple light. The purple light kept shrinking until it became an amethyst bracelet with a mysterious golden pattern. This was one of Aya's special abilities - transformation. Originally, Ulysses wanted Aya to remain in this transformation state, but Aya refused no matter how Ulysses asked. After many arduous negotiations, she reluctantly promised to remain in bracelet form when outsiders were present. Otherwise, the god knew what kind of trouble she, who had the appearance of a fairy and the personality of a little devil, would cause trouble in this Taji City.
Putting the amethyst bracelet on his right hand, Ulysses left home and walked outside the city. Because of the presence of the little devil, Aya, it was impossible for him to practice in the city. In the past few days, he had been receiving Aya's guidance in a small wood outside the city.
Early morning in Taji City was one of the busiest times of the day. Under the shining red light of the rising sun, all kinds of shops were making final preparations before opening; the drunks who had not returned to their homes from a hangover in the bar also walked out of the bar to go home; in the distance, outside the city gate, various horse-drawn carriages returning from the port were being inspected by guards at the gate of the city.
‘It is really peaceful! They probably wouldn't even know that a demon king has just walked past them.’ Ulysses, who walked past these ordinary people, who could not be more ordinary, let out a self-deprecating sigh.
Twenty minutes later, Ulysses came to the wood he had used as a practice field in the past few days. Although this small wood was not far from Taji City, because the trees here were all worthless trees, they didn't produce anything, and it was not even good for firewood, so few people would come here.
"Aya, come out!" After confirming that there was no one around, Ulysses sent a spiritual wave to the bracelet. In the transformation state, Aya had the ability to detect enemies within fifty meters of Ulysses, but she could not directly see and hear the outside world, nor could she speak. She could only communicate with Ulysses mentally.
A purple light flashed, Aya's beautiful little face appeared in front of Ulysses. She appeared from mid-air and fell into Ulysses's arms again.
"Master, it's so boring to become a bracelet! Can’t Aya just stay by your side forever. Please, Aya promises that Aya won't cause you trouble." Aya writhed in Ulysses's arms and kept acting coquettishly at him.
"No, no!" Feeling Aya's little chest rubbing against his arms, Ulysses refused without hesitation. “If I let you stay around me in your original form, you will only cause more trouble to me!’ Ulysses thought.
"Master, you are so cold-hearted! Anyway, let's start today's practice. First, practice each of the eight positions of basic swordsmanship ten thousand times; then ten moves of basic boxing, five thousand times each; and finally the weight-bearing sit-ups and push-ups three thousand times each. Today's weight is fifty kilograms." Seeing her pleading had failed, Aya stuck out her tongue and announced today's practice session.
In this deserted wood, Ulysses began his practice today. He had gradually become accustomed to this body through hard practice in the past few days. Now he could swing a sword fourteen times in an instant, and his punching speed had reached more than sixty punches per second. It could be said that his body had reached the limits of what a human being could achieve by physical training alone. To become stronger, he must learn Battle Energy. However, Ulysses, who dreamed of becoming a priest, had never planned to learn Battle Energy, and the current practice was just for better control of his body. When he completely controlled this strong body, he would start to practice light magic again.
According to Aya, the light magic recorded in the book of the demon king required him to have the strength and magic energy of a level six mage at least. Originally, he thought that no matter how hard he practiced, it would take more than thirty years to reach that level. But after possessing the blood of the demon king Astaroth, he found that his mental strength had increased more than ten times faster than before. At this rate, he might reach level six within two years. At that time, he would be able to practice the advanced light magic in the book of the demon king. He almost couldn’t wait for that moment to come.
Four hours later, Ulysses finally finished today's practice in sweat, and signaled to Aya floating in the air, "Aya, it's time to go back!"
"Going back to read those priestly scriptures? Master, your Life is really monotonous." It seemed that Aya was a little dissatisfied with his lifestyle, but this time she was wrong.
"No." Ulysses smiled, "we are almost out of money. So today, I'm going to the mercenary guild to find some tasks to do and earn some gold coins for living expenses."
