Chapter 122: Hardworking or Softworking?
It was a new day, Anthony woke up to the sound of the leaves dancing to the tunes of the wind.
The sun seemed too high up in the sky, so Anthony checked the time and it was already 2 PM.
'I really slept through the day, I guess moving through the forest felt like forever to me'
Anthony thought as he jumped down his bed and stretched his body.
He heard a knock on the door that requested permission before entry.
"Enter"
Anthony said in a low tone.
The door squeaked open as a maid entered the room and bowed while speaking with utmost respect in her voice.
"The patriarch and madam request your immediate presence in the dining hall"
The maid said as her head remained down without a change in expression.
Anthony looked at the maid who clearly stood at a rank above the King realm but seem too hidden to be noticed.
Anthony didn't reply for a few seconds and just looked at her.
The maid sensing Anthony's gaze on her didn't have any useless thoughts or feel disgusted, she remained unfazed like the gaze meant nothing to her, she remain unflustered as the seconds passed.
Of course Anthony wasn't looking at her with any weird harem thoughts or anything, he just admired the way she hid the mana that flowed in her mana.
The quantity and quality she possessed showed how much power and talent she held, but here she was acting as a simple maid.
After the few seconds went by, Anthony replied her with a single word.
"Sure"
The maid lifted her head this time as she was about to proceed and get ready for Anthony's bath and clothing and everything.
But after she took the first step, she suddenly stopped as mana moved calmly around Anthony's body and bent to his will as his groggy and wet eyes and face instantly disappeared and was replaced by a focused man.
His peejay instantly turned fluid like as it morphed into a suit with a knee length coat that hung on his shoulders while flapping gently, black hand gloves also morphed into existence as they covered Anthony's hands.
The maid didn't miss any of the scene that just happened and just took like it was nothing with a straight face.
Indeed it was nothing, when people get to certain level in mana control, they can use mana to wash their bodies instead of taking a bath making them stay fresh and clean 24 hours around the clock.
Many people just bathed or ate and slept out of hobby, not that they needed to most of the time.
As for the way Anthony switched clothes, that wasn't really normal, but with the amount of skills that exist in this world, the maid wasn't surprised if there was a skill for changing clothes as they were numerous skills and even more useless ones.
Normally Anthony would have taken a bath and freshened up as he liked the feeling of water flowing down his skin in the shower.
But since his family required his immediate presence, he couldn't just come later.
Anthony told Meek to make the mission complete announcement in three days because he wanted to spend time with his parents.
Ice element in the surrounding mixed with the mana under Anthony's control as a perfect ice mirror was formed in front of Anthony as he observed himself with all seriousness as his narcissistic personality kicked in and made him nearly forget the patriarch was waiting.
The ice suddenly disappeared like time was reversed and it was wiped out from existence.
"Lead the way"
Anthony's voice echoed in the room as he broke out of his narcissistic personality temporarily.
"Yes young master"
Experience stories on m _v _lempy _r.
The maid said as she walked to the dining hall and Anthony trailed behind her with a paced step that seem to hold the entire authority in the world itself.
Every maid, guard or any other personnel they met on the way to the dining hall all paused in their movements as they all bowed with utmost respect and trust.
Anthony didn't reply any of them, his presence alone was enough for them.
As they walked, they got to the dining hall that was closed by two doors that seemed to be made out of precious metals.
"You may enter young master"
The maid's voice sounded as she bowed yet again and gestured Anthony to step in.
Anthony walked to the door as he used his mana to push it open and met the presence of two familiar people.
Anthony walked to these familiar presence and sat down amongst them.
"Finally decided to wake up?"
Mitchelle asked with a smile as the maids laid the food on the table.
"I was really tired so I had to get some rest"
Anthony replied as he prepared to eat.
"Com'on baby monster, you rested at that hotel, besides, during the fight you never took anyone seriously, so what's the exhaustion about, besides you sleep way too much and often for someone of your rank and power"
Michael said as he looked at Anthony.
And its indeed true that Anthony sleeps way too much, this is because of his lazy side which he can't even use and is exclusive to the clones since they don't have to work.
Any other people with confidence and talent to advance to a higher mana rank spends their time cultivating and just get the minimum sleep required to bring them back to peak condition.
This also happens in the Academy which is why many of the students cultivation shot through the roof.
Due to their cultivation they hardly sleep and spend it all on studying and cultivating.... well it is majorly cause this generation is special.
So if they can stay a maximum of seven days without sleep due to mana.
They spend five to six days cultivating before they head to sleep, wake up and repeat.
But here Anthony was, once his body touches the bed, then he is immediately transported to the dream land.
He rests way too much at the smallest inconvenience or anything that makes him move his body, so he is still very lazy but just not as lazy as his clone who does nothing at all.
Anthony is this lazy because of his Talent and cheats, if not.....
If others like Storm Rider finds out that Anthony actually sleeps a lot he might just faint out of anger.
But you can't truly say Anthony is lazy, cause on the other hand he could be the most hardworking as he spends years in the divine realm training continuously without stop.
Even now as he walks, talks, smiles, his thought compartments are always analysing the information presented by his Bloodline and Physique.
Of all thoughts compartment only ten are left free, the one responsible for the sign-in system, the remaining nine were left by Anthony for any regular thoughts....which is basically his overthinking and narcissistic session.
