HDXD: Omni Harem System-Chapter 115: End of Arc 1

It had only been seven days since the fall of Ultima Village, and yet, for Adam, it felt like a long time had passed.

The days that followed were a blur of reconstruction, relocation, and recovery. The once-isolated village had been fully integrated into Minerva’s estate territory.

What remained of Ultima’s surviving populace now resided safely within the stone walls of Minerva Village. Though the trauma of the past lingered, the people...especially the children, were beginning to smile again.

Adam stood at the edge of the training courtyard, wearing a dark crimson gi marked with the Shinso family crest, which was a black and gold Swastika.

Adam looked at it with a puzzle looked, as this was clearly the symbols of certain controversial group of people that most people hated back in his original world.

Yet the only reason this was not controversial here was because it had a different meaning here. Hell Adam did not even knew the Shinso family had an official family crest till three days ago.

The reason why Minerva had to use it now was because, she decided to stop being lazy for once and work on the political structure of her domain.

Now she was staring to act as a proper Monster Lord. Now the family symbol that had being tucked away for all those years in he basement had finally resurface since it was given to her the moment she was recognize as Monster Lord by the Monster Queen.

Which was the current leader and strongest reigning monster in the entirety of the Monster World.

She was basically what the Overlord of Humanity is to human to all Monsters.

And seeing that Minerva is finally deciding to take her political stance seriously. They are a couple of things she herself need to work on.

And since they evacuated Ultima village a week back, the same day she announced her territory closed off to all other domain. Now this shook the Monster World as her territory is known have second best resources.

However after finding out signs of illegal mining happening in not just one but several locations in her domain and behind her back, she finally decided to locked the fuck in to stop it.

That aside though things were going relatively good all things considered.

As Adam tried to adjust his training gi.

It was still a little too big on his tiny frame, but Clara had made adjustments where she could. His golden eyes were sharp and focused, the faint glow of his newfound power flickering behind his irises.

As he was still practicing with Nyx on how to manipulate his monster energy better via meditation.

Keira and Nyla however were now officially staying in the guest wing of the estate with their mother who at the moment was in a coma alongside her dad. freēnovelkiss.com

But that aside they were adjusting.

So too was everyone else in this new found integration.

The younger monsters of Ultima mingled cautiously with the residents of Minerva Village.

Some shy, some curious, but all under the vigilant eye of the estate’s guards. Yes, the estate and the village now had security, another measure of security Minerva had now impose for the safety of everyone.

No one was taking chances after what took place in Ultima village.

Many families were destroyed.

Leaving behind young ones, but many new ones were form as well.

Ultima village was no more, yes, but in Minerva Village, it was now called Ultima district.

Monster were not emotional fully beings, for that reason they can quickly forget and move on with their life when tragedy hits.

Even now even the children were helping to rebuild new homes in the new district.

Adam watch this from afar on his balcony with a soft smile.

"Straighten your back, mon maître."

Clara said from behind him, her voice firm yet affectionate despite the monotonous tone behind it.

She stood tall in her new uniform, black and white armor-like attire designed for both service and war, marked with the Shinso family seal on her breastplate. Her black hair fluttered behind her as she adjusted Adam’s stance.

They were now practicing how to walk and stand like a noble upon Priscilla orders, thankfully being a former noble herself this was light work for her to teach.

Big changes were happening in their family.

This means big changes needed to apply to him as well.

"You are now being seen as an official monster noble now, oui? A warrior like yourself must look like one, and present themselves like one. Other Monsters are mindless savages but you are not, and soo too are the other families. This is sadly behind in terms of etiquettes. But since you are young I will drill what I know into you."

"Yes, Clara."

Adam said with a soft grunt, doing his best to keep his spine straight despite the aching muscles in his back and legs.

However he learns quickly so it was not all bad.

The newly formed battle maid smiled slightly at this as she says.

"Très bon. Now again...from the top."

They continue to practice for hours, at different locations, doing different stance, at different angles, and with each lesson Adam body learns, and it balance improve among other things.

And as Adam resumed his katas, Minerva sat nearby, cross-legged on the estate wall, drinking a large bottle of sake, as she enjoys the cold breeze of the evening.

Her usual teasing demeanor was subdued today, observing rather than mocking. She had been like this for the past few days.

More Focused.

And more intent in watching her little brother grow.

White, now more often seen in her true form, instead of that dragon form she became popular for among the residence of Ultima district rested in the shadows near the tree line.

Meanwhile Priscilla, approached with a long book tucked under her arm and her parasol resting lazily over one shoulder.

"He is holding the new forms longer, and so quickly, good...good."

She noted, watching Adam’s feet with a slight nod.

"Clumsy... but improving."

"Hey!"

Adam puffed, stumbling mid-turn.

"I heard that!"

Priscilla rolled her eyes as she replied.

"I wasn’t exactly whispering you know."

Minerva chuckled as he watch their bickering from above as she said.

"The brat gotta sharp pair of ears, at least."

Clara stepped aside as Adam finished his routine and collapsed onto the grass with a heavy breath, for mentally drain than anything else.

"I-I did it...

"You did."

Priscilla said, kneeling beside him with surprising gentleness.

"And you’ll do vastly more better tomorrow. You’ve been slacking for five years, time to make up for it."

Adam groaned.

"... This is child abuse."

"You’ll live."

Minerva said, hopping off the wall and landing beside him, the alcohol on her breathe as strong as ever.

"This is the price of being our brother... We get to groom you to our linking little man. No more soft days. We’re gonna mold you into something fierce."

"...I’m already fierce...

He muttered.

Minerva smirked and leaned down to flick his forehead.

"Not yet... But soon."

Behind them, Keira and Nyla peeked out from one of the estate windows. Keira held a tray with fruit and drinks, while Nyla wore an oversized house robe and smiled shyly at the sight of Adam training.

"He looks so innocent here... Sigh it’s like what big sister always say, never judge a book by it’s cover."

Keira said softly knowing damn well how scary Adam truly is when he is not playing the role of a kid infront of his sisters.

"Yeah it is kind of unsettling. For a five-year-old who headbutted a demon boar just last night to death."

Nyla grinned.

"He is terrifying."

Back in the courtyard, Clara took a knee beside Adam and wiped the sweat from his brow.

"Would you like to rest before the evening drills, monsieur?"

Adam looked up at her tiredly.

"Do I get food?"

"You get soup."

Clara said.

"Then yes."

Right after Minerva stretched her arms over her head and cracked her knuckles.

"Don’t get used to long rest though... Starting from tomorrow, things change."

Priscilla nodded, her gaze stern.

"That’s right... One with your talent for magic is truly going to be a treat to groom."

"Again with the grooming quotes."

Adam said laughing nervously to which Priscilla and Minerva lick their lips in unison scaring Adam in that moment.

"It about high time we get serious with you Adam."

Said Priscilla.

"Time for what though."

From there Minerva crouched down, flicking his nose.

"Your real training, dummy. Me and Pris? We’re putting all our time into you now."

"All... your time?"

Adam asked, his golden eyes widening slightly.

Priscilla smiled, though it wasn’t entirely kind.

"Every... Hour."

"That means no more free naps, no more light injuries, and definitely no more sneaking out as t night to train in secrete."

Minerva added with a knowing glance.

Adam flushed.

"H-How’d you know?"

"White told me."

Minerva said, glancing at White direction.

White of course didn’t deny it.

Priscilla crossed her arms, her golden drills bouncing slightly with the movement.

"From tomorrow on, we’ll rotate. Morning drills with me and Morgan. Strategy, martial arts, phsycial conditioning, and Miasma and Monster energy control with Minerva and Nyx. Clara will supervise your meals, sleep, and magic conditioning."

She said with playful but evil smile.

"I-I’m gonna die...

Adam retorted in horror.

"You’ll live."

They all said in eerie unison.

The End.
