Gamer Reborn

Chapter 211

For the last few months Ajax started to settle in with his new routine as well as his time at the academy. One thing he wasn’t too happy about, but that he could understand, was that he wouldn’t always have a dungeon delve during his free period of every cycle. He did however get two more delves with the crafting team.

During these delves he learnt that his strongarming of the Silvertongue house hadn’t gone quite as well as he had expected. Because Nina was going to be focused on raising a bond in the near future her skills wouldn’t progress for a good long while before they have explosive growth once she starts integrating the furnace salamander into her creating style. That wasn’t to say that he wouldn’t be getting a good weapon, it just wouldn’t be quite as good as he hoped.

Looking at his new Status Ajax was both very pleased with his progress as well as a little underwhelmed on different sides of it. During the last months his magic had seemed to have mostly stagnated with the few ranks he was gaining coming from the innovation of researching the exposure of the curse mana to different Epic affinities.

For as much as his magical side had stagnated however as Ajax learned to control his intent better his physical side had finally started to break past its bottle neck. Anthony Gatecrasher had followed through on his promise and just yesterday Ajax had finally managed to gain [Battlemage Style] and he could now use this as a base to fuse it with his [Mana Syphon] in order to hopefully create an Epic style unique to him.

His other great strides had been made in his crafting and gardening. Taking care of the plants and injecting mana into them on a regular basis had paid off in spades with the plants even radiating a very tiny amount of mana by themselves. This hasn’t had any visible effect on the bees just yet but Ajax was looking forward to the honey that he would be collecting.

The biggest difference Ajax had experienced since arriving in the capital was just how much his social circle had expanded. He would now regularly hang out with Benedict, Lexi or Annabeth on his days off. He had spent lots of time in professor Vilethorn’s classroom as well learning as much Alchemy as he could. Occasionally he would have dinner with Luna and Hatchet though despite all of their attempts he had yet to unlock any more conversational skills.

His relationship with his grandparents hadn’t moved at all in terms of familiarity choosing to keep it to a strictly business arrangement. He knew that they respected that but he also had the feeling that they were making the preparation to go beyond sooner than the initial timeline he presented them with.

Unknowingly his grandparents were going to profit from their approach. In order to try and make it easier to get closer to Ajax and their daughter's family the couple had bought up all the farmland that surrounded Ajax’s own lot. With the bees pollinating any crops they planted there with pollen that had traces of mana they were sure to have a richer yield than expected. Not only that but they had also bought the two houses across from the plots that Ajax had purchased in the city as well.

All of this led Ajax to be extremely surprised when he received a letter from his parents letting him know that they would soon be on their way to the capital. Apparently Judy and Alana had gotten to work with another company in the capital and that networking as well as the profits they made had sped up their timeline considerably. Not only that but Tom had been given special permission to transfer over to the capital on account of Fluffy’s growth and the fact that she started to require higher level cores than were coming out of the dungeon to continue her growth.

The final piece of the puzzle was surprisingly Kate being called to finish her required tenure at the Healing Union in the capital on account of her discovery regarding alcohol being used as disinfectant. While those may be all the official reasons given, Ajax could see that his grandparents had put their feet on the scale to get his family to the capital faster.

With the letter arriving today and it mentioning that they would set off in a week’s time this meant that they were only a week or so from arriving. While both houses had already been built for a while since he wanted to get that done in advance they were not furnished yet.

Ajax now faced another problem as while he had gotten some furniture that would be enough for himself he knew next to nothing about actually furnishing a house. Not only that but of all the people he knew they were all of too high social standing to help him decorate a house for commoners.
