Chapter 22: New Mission: Target Isabella
Chapter 22: New Mission: Target Isabella
Adrian and Sophia continued their assault on the Gloom Wolves with renewed vigor. Each movement was precise, every attack calculated. They fought in perfect harmony, a testament to their rigorous training and strong bond.
Hours passed in a blur of steel and fur. As the sun began to dip toward the horizon, casting long shadows through the trees, Sophia signaled to Adrian to regroup.
"Adrian, it's getting late," she said, her voice calm but firm. "We need to head back. Pushing too far could be problematic."
Adrian wiped the sweat from his brow, his chest heaving from exertion. "You're right, Sophia. We've made significant progress today, but we shouldn't overextend ourselves."
Sophia nodded in agreement. "Let's return home. We need to rest and be prepared for whatever comes next."
They made their way back through the forest, their movements cautious and vigilant. By the time they reached the edge of the forest, the sky had turned a deep shade of orange, signaling the end of the day.
Upon reaching Everhart Manor, Adrian and Sophia headed straight to their quarters to freshen up. The hot water soothed their tired muscles, washing away the grime and blood of the day's battles.
After their baths, they gathered in the dining hall for dinner. Isabella, their mother, had prepared a hearty meal, and the comforting aroma filled the room.
"Welcome back, you two," Isabella greeted them with a warm smile. "I hope your training went well."
"It did, Mother," Adrian replied, taking his seat. "We've made good progress today."
Sophia nodded, her expression serious. "But we need to talk about our current situation. We're on the verge of war, and we need to be prepared."
Isabella's smile faded slightly, replaced by a look of concern. "I know. The tension is palpable. We must stay vigilant."
Adrian sighed, recalling the morning's events. "This morning, I attacked the envoy. We need to be prepared for a potential attack from that baron or whatever. He won't take this lightly."
Adrian could not even be bothered to remember the name of the baron; if it was a girl's name, however, he would definitely remember it even if the said girl was his enemy. In his past life, he had a boner for the enemy-turned-lovers genre in different media.
Sophia's eyes hardened. "We should consider recruiting new members for our army. We need more manpower to defend ourselves."
Isabella nodded thoughtfully. "I agree. We need to bolster our defenses. I'll start making arrangements to recruit and train new soldiers. We'll need to be strategic about this."
Adrian leaned forward, his eyes intense. "We need to ensure our new recruits are well-trained and loyal. We can't afford any betrayals, especially now."
Sophia placed a hand on Adrian's shoulder. "We'll get through this, Adrian. We have each other's backs, and that's our greatest strength."
Isabella smiled softly. "You're right, Sophia. Together, we can face any challenge. We'll stay strong and protect our family and home."
They continued to discuss their plans over dinner, sharing ideas and strategies. The weight of their responsibilities was heavy, but they found solace in each other's company. The bond between them was unbreakable, a beacon of hope in the face of impending danger.
As the evening drew to a close, they each retired to their rooms, their minds filled with thoughts of the battles to come. But despite the uncertainty of the future, they found strength in their unity, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Before heading to his room, Adrian asked about Chris to his mother, as he had seen her today. Isabella told him that Chris has been taking special lessons, as she was chosen to be one of his partner, she had to take on classes to match her new identity.
Adrian then retired to his room, feeling the weight of their plans and the impending threat. He decided to consult the system for any potential solutions to their predicament.
"System," Adrian called out mentally. "Do you have anything that could help with our army problem?"
The system's familiar, calm voice responded, "Yes, Host. Once you reach level 10 and gain a class, the system will update, and a new item will be available in the system shop. You will be able to purchase an Army Summoning Card specific to your chosen class."
Adrian's eyes lit up with renewed determination. "That's perfect! I need to level up quickly, then."
He couldn't help but chuckle as he thought about the system's capabilities. "At least you have some common sense, system. You didn't ask me to seduce Isabella for help."
The system paused for a moment, and then a new notification appeared in his mind.
New Mission: Seduce Isabella
Objective: Win over Isabella's heart.
Rewards: Seduction Points, an unique item voucher, special access to buy an item of 2nd class.
Adrian's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but laugh. "System, you've got to be kidding me! You actually assigned that as a mission?"
The system's voice remained neutral. "This mission aligns with your Seduction System's core objectives and offers substantial rewards."
Adrian shook his head, still amused. "Well, at least you're consistent. But seriously, seducing my own mother? That's a bit much, don't you think?"
The system responded, "All missions are designed to enhance your abilities and provide significant benefits."
Adrian sighed, half in disbelief, half in amusement. "Fine, I'll see what I can do. But let's focus on reaching level 10 first. We need that Army Summoning Card."
With his goals set, Adrian lay back on his bed, contemplating the challenges ahead. The system's unexpected mission had added a new layer of complexity to his plans, but he knew he needed to stay focused. Reaching level 10 and gaining a class was now his top priority.
He would first try to reach level 10 and get a class before moving onto the mission. He would then get the army and train them along with his mother and sister in the virtual training room, where they could get even stronger in a day as that day corresponded to a year in the training room.
He drifted off to sleep with a mixture of determination and amusement, ready to face the challenges that awaited him. As a transmigrator with system, he would face those challenges head on and live his life with his girls, enjoying each and every day.
