WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

Next Day,

John visited Grandma Melanie as always, today she had a surprise for John as she formally introduced Vlad to John .

"John, let me introduce you to one of my past colleagues, you might already know him since you have met him earlier at Pearl City . he is one of my acquaintances from my past and as your master who expects you to be strong and safe in the future, I have previously decided that you will be training under him to improve all the aspects of your combat, you might not know him but few people can defeat him in hand to hand combat in this world . If someday you are able to defeat him then that would be the most glorifying day for your master" Melanie laughed and Joked as she said to John in the pharmacy hall .

Meanwhile, both John and Vlad didn't take it as a joke, John had the confidence in him to defeat Vlad in future as he knew he could use the AI to improve himself and his techniques while simulation would improve him every second in combat while Vlad's instincts rejected this idea as Joke and believed John could certainly him in near future but he still took it as a compliment from Melanie .

However, Melanie still stressed this as the main point while having a conversation with them .

"Of course your first priority would still be to learn under me and become the greatest Potioneer of all time in Arkon so you still can't slack off on herbology and learn about potioneering from me . From tomorrow on, some of your time will be allocated on combat training with Vlad and then, later on, you can play baron in the town . "

"I don't have any problems with it since I would anyway get to learn more techniques and improve my techniques as well from a guy who is a veteran when it comes to combat and covert operations . However . . . "

After this time John paused for a bit added a suggestion after thinking for a while . ,

"I would like one person from the group of slaves to train with me, is that ok with you guys?"

Melanie meanwhile had a thoughtful expression on her face as she wondered who was the guy that happened to get John's attention out of all the slaves .

Vlad already had an idea who the guy was but since that guy was John's slave he didn't bother as it would be rude to John . Slaves here in Arkon were treated as livestock and therefore people remained cautious when dealing with slaves of other people .

"who is the person that has caught your attention? I would like to meet him first before we decide . "

Melanie asked and said to John .

"Well, I already have an idea on who that person is as I already met all the slaves before John and co arrived at North-frontier town, so I don't think there would be any problem if we have one more person in the training . Since he thinks he can become his asset we might as well try it . However, I will not be responsible for your injuries while we are training," Vlad said to them in a serious manner .

Vlad then looked in the direction of Melanie in a meaningful manner and said to her, "It will be your responsibility to provide medicine baths and pastes for both of them, the only thing I can provide is training and share some of my experiences, I have gone through the same training and so will John so we can't go in a roundabout way for this training . Anyway let's look at the guy since you are so interested in him"

"Well that guy's name is Jake, he seems most worthy for the future among all the slaves when it comes for combat . Additionally, he is young enough who can be trained for the future . "

As aspected, it was Jake which Vlad already knew about since only Tornwall and Jake stood out among all the slaves however Jake had eyes of a wolf showing emotions full of determination and revenge deep inside them and hence Vlad's conclusion on Jake .
