I Just Want A Peaceful Life Chapter 113
Advertisement
After facing the King and having a break for a while, Jayna continued her training. With the help of Master Ban's magic eyes and Angus's guidance, Jayna could easily learn how to properly change her fighting pattern.
As someone with magic eyes, Master Ban could easily discern the fighting pattern of someone. However, after having sparred with Angus, he noticed that he couldn't predict Angus's single movement.
It seems that Angus's movement always constantly changes even when he launches an attack. This is the reason why Ban could get hit by Angus in the first place. Moreover, Ban is overly reliant on his magic eyes which reduce his true fighting capability to dodge Angus.
While Jayna is on training with the help of Master Ban, Angus just reads a book nearby. Despite this, he often gives some suggestions about Jayna's movement.
Jayna's current training is in the form of sparring with Master Ban while Jayna's trying to change her fighting pattern.
After training for a while, "Alright, let's take a break for a while." said Master Ban after finding out that Jayna could not move properly anymore.
"Haa.. Ha.. Alright." replied Jayna shortly before going towards Angus.
"Do the breathing that I taught you before. It will alleviate your fatigue." said Angus while reading his book.
"Okay.." said Jayna while sitting beside him and regulating her breathing.
Over time Angus training Jayna, she already gets used to Angus's behavior on reading books while guiding her.
After regulating her breath for a little bit, "Angus, what are you reading?" asked Jayna.
"Ohh.. It's about ingredients and their alchemical properties." said Angus.
"Are you going to create a potion?" asked Jayna.
"Sort off.. something like that. But, I am still in the selecting ingredient phase." replied Angus.
"I see… I think you could borrow some books from the royal library. There are some alchemy books in there." said Jayna.
Hearing this, Angus immediately focuses on Jayna, "Really? Can I?" asked Angus.
"Normally, you can't get in easily. But, I still have the authority to let you pass a certain level. Besides, my father told me to bring all the necessary resources for my…" said Jayna proudly.
Before Jayna ends her sentence, "Then, What are we waiting for? Let's go right away." said Angus as he dragged Jayna to lead the way towards the Royal Library.
Unlike normal libraries, the Royal Library is heavily guarded since it contains various kinds of dangerous information that shouldn't be known to the public.

Rather than a library, it should be similar to an archive since the only people that could access this place are limited.
Arriving at the Royal Library that is as big as Angus manor's house, he immediately asked the caretaker to lead the way to the alchemist section. Being with Jayna, the caretaker didn't ask many questions and led the way.
After walking past many bookshelves, Angus found the alchemy section. Inside the section, there is an old man in his forties with thick glasses and a white beard.
Looking at Jayna and Angus, "Ohh.. how rare is it to find the fourth princess here?"
"Greetings, Master Valeron. This is my.. friend, Angus Victory. The third son of Duke Victory." said Jayna while introducing Angus.
"Ahh.. Third son of Duke Victory. I hear quite a bit about you. My name is Valeron Smith, the head of the Heart Kingdom research division." said the old man introducing himself.
"Nice to meet you, Master Valeron." greeted Angus.
"Alright, If I may know what brings the two of you here? Perhaps this old man can help you a little bit." said Master Valeron.
"Actually, I am searching for an ingredient that complements my new potion." said Angus.
"Oho.. Truly a genius. At such a young age you are already trying to create your potion. Anyway, I presume you already research some of the material that is known to the public?"
"Yes, it is. To be exact, I already tried most of the common ingredients." said Angus.
"I see.. May I know what kind of properties you are looking for?" asked Master Valeron
Hearing this, Angus thought for a while, 'Since he is the head of the research division, I guess I could share a little bit.' thought Angus.
"The properties I am looking for are supposed to have cold properties and a calming effect. However, it should complement my solution. So, I need to try a lot of them." said Angus.
"Cold properties and calming effect. Well, there are a lot of ingredients with that kind of properties. but since you came here, it means most of them are incompatible with your solution. Can I look at the alchemical equation of your solution?" asked Master Valeron.
Hearing this, Angus begins to hesitate. The alchemical equation of the main ingredient is the core of the potion. Just by using this, people will know a lot of things about the solution. It's like revealing a secret ingredient.

Looking at Angus hesitating, "Don't worry, kid. I promise I will not share this with other people." said Master Valeron.
"It's okay, Angus. You could trust Master Valeron about this matter. Although Master Valeron looks creepy, he is a trustworthy person." said Jayna.
"Err.. the Fourth Princess is right. Besides, as a researcher I still have pride in myself rather than stealing a formula from a kid." said Master Valeron.
"Hmm.. Alright, I am sorry, Master Valeron. It's not that I don't trust you. But, I still need you to sign this contract first before I could permit you to look at my equation." said Angus while taking out a parchment contract.
After doing many transactions with Ernest, Angus realizes how important the contract is. In Firuman, the absolute rule is not money like in his past life but rather a contract. Even King Leon, a seventh-grade combatant, will be helpless in front of the contract.
"Contract?? Is your solution so important for such a thing?" asked Master Valeron who is startled by this development.
At first, he thought to help the rumored young genius to create his new potion. But, the kid even brought out a contract for this matter. It means Angus's solution is really important or Angus is just playing with the old man.
Nobody is likely to be bound by the contract but Master Valeron's curiosity over Angus's potion becomes greater. Although it is not announced yet, he already hears Angus feat to heal miasma fresh wounds from the King himself.
He knows that a person of Angus caliber is not foolish enough to play around with the contract.
"Alright, kid. Let me see the contract first. I am becoming more curious about your solution where it needs me to sign a contract." said Master Valeron.
Looking at Angus giving a contract to Master Valeron, "Angus, Are you sure about this?" asked Jayna beside him.
"Of course, anyway you will also sign the contract since you already hear about this." said Angus while giving Jayna another contract.
"Ehh.. Why?? Even without a contract, I will not tell it to anyone." said Jayna.
Before Angus could reply, "Kid, are you sure about this contract??" interrupted Master Valeron after reading the contract.
"Yes, is there anything wrong with the contract?" asked Angus back.
"This is no ordinary non-disclosure contract. This is a soul-bound non-disclosure contract. Although there is no penalty in this contract, this contract should be very rare and expensive. Are you sure you want to use this contract rather than the usual non-disclosure contract?" explained Master Valeron.
"Soul-bound contract?!!" exclaimed Jayna.
"Yep, though it is quite rare and expensive. But, it is necessary as my solution could create a big impact." said Angus.
"How big is it?" asked Master Valeron.
"Big enough to affect the whole world." said Angus.
"Alright, you win kid. Let's see how important this solution of yours is to even affect the world." said Master Valeron as he signed the contract.
The moment he signed the contract, A bright light shone on the contract before it burned. Angus and Master Valeron feel like being bound by something.
The content of Angus's contract is simple. Both parties of this contract will not reveal anything about Angus and his potion information in the form of anything. Since it is the soul bound contract, they will be bound to not reveal anything even if they want to.
By using this contract, even someone trying to read Angus or Valeron's mind, the person will not or could not see the content about Angus and his potion. This is also the form of the highest non-disclosure contract.
"Urg.. What an unpleasant feeling? Now, can I see the equation?"
"Yes, Did you have a pen and paper?" said Angus.
"Here, you can use this." said Master Valeron as he took out a pen and paper from his storage device.
While writing the equation, "Jayna will you also sign the contract? or do you want to wait outside?" said Angus.
He is still aware that Jayna is sensitive about contract things as her life is quite miserable because of the said contract.
"Give the contract." said Jayna.
"Ehh.. Are you sure about that?" asked Angus.
"Of course, besides, I already said I trust you." said Jayna.
After that, Angus also gave the same contract to Jayna which she signed in without any hesitation. After the contract takes effect, "Jayna, disperse your shadow guard."

The Novel's Extra's Extra
As a reader, Cristopher always looked for things that entertained him, didn't matter what the "critics" said, all that matters was his own opinion on the novel, so he started reading "The Novel's Extra", a webnovel that despicts an author who is transmigrated to his own novel. It was fun and all with its own good and bad points, really, one of his favorites novels at the end of the journey, and that's taking into account the little fact that he didn't have too many things he was able to enjoy, not in that empty shell that was called life for him... Why could someone be born like that? With a void inside, an endless void that slowly consumes oneself... But... for better or worse... everything changed one day, the same day he woke up to discover he had the same faith of the author whose novel he just finished reading, becoming an extra in a novel, becoming The novel's extra's extra... /Ok, now that's the description I thought of... first of all, for those of you who are reading this, if any, a few points I have to make clear: 1. I'm not an english native speaker, so if you find anything wrong in the text, please let me know, that would help me learn, and I would be thankful for that.2. I'm writting this out of pure "enjoyment", so while I'll try to be constant, I'll not make any promises.3. True reason why I'm writing this is because I'm going through a moderate to crippling depression right now (and no, is not because anything trully bad and horrendous happened to me, it seems to have something to do with my brain's malfuctioning, among other things), and doctors told me to try writing as I enjoy reading. So yeah, this is more like a self-help excercise, to keep myself distracted while trying to be safe from my self.4. I choose to make a fanfiction of "The Novel's Extra" as I don't trully know how to write, and because I really loved that webnovel, though there are some points I didn't particulary liked.5. If you see some (let's be clear, really much) self insertion on this series, well, that may be me trying to escape reality, to which I make an early warning and disclaimer, and also ask for forgiveness, as I said before, this is more of an excercise, so don't take it too serious.6. I'll be a slow writer, as I have to still check a few things from the novel, even when I've read it like 3 or 4 times already, and because I know shit about writing a novel or a series.7. If you get to enjoy this, then that's good, I would be glad about it, maybe even more motivated, but I don't really expect this to be any good. Thanks to you all who may, or may not, be reading this novel./
