Sam is concentrating on his work in the evening. He cleared more than 60 square yards by now and if he continues on with this, he can clear more than 120 square yards by morning.
Right now, there is a ten ters deep pit which extended for 60 square yards behind the mansion.
After working until now, he ca to a conclusion, if he improves his ntal strength, he can finish the work faster. So, he decided that he would cultivate his ntal strength for the next fifteen days.
As for the hindrances from the instructors and the Thunder Wolf Squad, he already sorted his thoughts and from tomorrow onwards, the people who would be walking on egg shells would not be Sam and his teammates.
At this mont Philip, Watt, Kelly and Jack ca to him. The things he needed were already manufactured by the Artisan tower and even the materials have been brought.
So, now he has to delegate the work for these four.
"Don’t worry about doing business anymore. Just stay in the Estate and start manufacturing, what I told you to do. Make as many as possible.
Philip, Kelly. Since, you both have fire elent, try to clear the impact crystal as much as you can in the free ti, but don’t focus on it too much. Your primary job for now is manufacturing the things I asked.
Make sure the dinsions[asurents] don’t change and be as precise as possible.
Make as many as possible for the next two weeks and I will bring them back to the camp with to assemble them.
Since, they shed all the cordiality with us, we don’t have to care for their opinions. I will make them regret ever provoking us."
After that, he explained their duties and sent them to start imdiately. All this while he didn’t stop clearing the crystal.
By midnight, Sam noticed sothing, constant ntal exhaustion and recovery, he noticed a slight improvent in his ntal strength which is the only good news in the past few days.
After soti, Sam has a sudden thought.
’Since, I don’t need all of it in the powder form, will be possible to remove a big chunk of it by disintegrating the bond with the remaining crystal?’ This question popped up in his head and he imdiately took action.
And when he knew that it is possible, he was ecstatic. His process is faster now, as for making the chunks into powder for later use, he can do that when he is working with them, until that point, he doesn’t have to worry about it.
He can even turn it into powder when he is idling at the camp at night.
By midnight, Sam already cleared more than 120 yards. After working for two more hours, he stopped everything and went to take rest.
If he is ntally frustrated due to overwork, he might act rashly in the camp. He already has a plan and has to deal with it with so rationality, even though he would let loose and blow off of so steam, he still shouldn’t completely go berserk.
But Sam is still worried about how to deal with this crystal.
The whole estate is around 1000 acres out of which around 700 acres is full of crystal and for the remaining
1 acre is 4840 square yards and now 700 acres is 338,800 square yards and now he was only done with 150 square yards.
Even though, he had found a more efficient way to deal with this, he still has to work a lot. By his estimation in his current state, Sam can clear around 600 yards if he worked in the sa pace and that is not wasting any ti at all.
He can do so twice a month and which makes 1200 yards for a month and in total he can only deal with 9600 yards in eight months around 2 acres.
He cannot let this happen; he has to think of way to deal with this as fast as possible. He needs at least 500 acres of land for his plan to work and he also needs to assign so work after clearing so land so that the construction process will work as soon as possible.
Sam took rest for another two hours and along with Hawk and Drew who had a peaceful sleep in a long ti.
They reported without any delay and the instructor didn’t find any fault with them. After the early morning routine is over, Sam went to find soone.
From today onwards, he was done with being defensive. That General Spark may love his grandsons as much as he can and he can spoil them as much as he can, but to do that on expense of Sam and his teammates, the general should think of the consequences.
Since, the other party used the loop holes of the competition to make a move on him and oppressed him with the involving the thunder wolf squad and even the regint commanders, he can do the sa.
Sam cannot vent his anger of the General directly, but he can still do so on the people who got involved.
Is it unfair?
Hell no, if it is unfair, then oppressing Philip, Hawk and others just because they tead up with Sam is also unfair. The General’s reasoning is that they can only bla themselves for being with Sam.
So, Sam is also using the sa reasoning. You can only bla yourself for helping the General.
Sam went to find a person and that is the Deputy General who refused to say his na.
"Instructor, May I co in?"
Sam asked as he stood up outside the tent.
"Co in."
Sam walked inside and looked at the Deputy General who is sitting behind a table as he examined Sam.
"What do you want?"
"I want to talk to you about sothing."
"Is it about you being oppressed by the instructors? If it is, I am sorry, I cannot force them to do anything, even after all the things they did to you, it can only be considered being biased and I cannot force their bias out of their heads. They played within the rules; I cannot take action."
"Actually, no. I have two requests. First one, I am here to request you to give permission to halt the training for the day, so that I can challenge so people."
Deputy General, raised an eyebrow as he asked.
"Why do you need a day off for a challenge?"
"I won’t need a day off if I have to challenge a single person, but I have multiple opponents."
Deputy general seed intrigued and said.
"Granted. What is the other request?"
"I want you to supervise my challenges."
"Do you think that you are worthy enough for my supervision? Fights of your level won’t need to look after." His words are rather arrogantly spoken and one could sll the pride from the voice. But Sam didn’t take offense.
That type of arrogance is not inborn, rather it was cultivated on the basis of countless accomplishnts, nobody has a right to point a finger at a person like that.
"How are so sure that they are not worthy? Besides, literally the whole military is against . I cannot trust anyone except you."
Deputy General didn’t know how to reply to those words and said after so contemplation.
"I will give you, half-an-hour. If your fights seem unworthy after that, I will leave."
Sam smiled and said.
"Sure. You won’t be disappointed. Shall we go now?" Deputy general nodded and followed Sam out of the tent.
In actual fact, he cannot be bothered with so common duels involving a Novice.
But seeing Sam’s confidence and analysing his situation, if Sam really provoked a soldier from a regint even if he won, the remaining people will take it out on him by continuously challenging him.
And even that Regint commander will take it out on him. Judging from the records his team already lost 100 points, this would actually beco even more worse.
But seeing Sam’s confidence, he was intrigued. He wants to see how this boy will resolve the situation.
Soon, they are in front of the fifth regint camp. The regint their current instructor is in charge of.
As soon as they entered the camp, everyone is looking at the Deputy General who is walking beside a boy who is wearing a rookie soldier uniform. They are feeling peculiar.
A regint has three thousand mbers and more than sixty percent of them are Novices, the acolytes wouldn’t make the cut in the Dukedom army.
So, the novices occupy the most part. And among those 1800 or so Novices, 800 of them might be at Middle and Late stages.
Sam’s target are those people.
He slowly strode towards the Arena of the challenges and looked at the camp.
This action gathered the attention of many people and slowly the crowd started growing. When he thought that he had enough audience, Sam shouted in a voice loud enough for the whole camp to listen.
"I am Sam from the special batch who is undergoing the competition. Today, I am here to challenge the Novices from the fifth regint.
From what I know, there are 1800 Novices in this regint and I am here to challenge all of them. Th
For every fight I lose, I will give ten thousand spirit stones to the winner and if the other party is a team, I will pay ten thousand for each of them
For every fight I win, I will collect five thousand from the losers, and if a team loses, I will take five thousand for each mber."
The whole camp was stunned. They didn’t expect that soone will co to their camp and challenge them like that.
If it was a normal challenge, they might want to back out, since they weren’t challenged individually. But the bait if wealth is quite tempting.
So of the soldiers recognised Sam. They are the ones who challenged Drew and Hawk. One of them asked.
"What is your goal here?" He knew that Sam is being troubled by their commander, so he wouldn’t co here for no reason or just to make so quick cash.
"I think that the might of Southern Star military is overrated. I want to prove my point by cleaning up all the Novice trash here. After all, this military can only use the loop holes to make trouble for and my friends. So, I am here to prove my point right."
The soldiers imdiately beca angry.
