NOVPUBChapter 1120: Chapter 1120: Destined to Stand Alone in The Future_1 Chapter 1120 -1120: Destined to Stand Alone in The Future_1 Lanarn Training Ground has reserved a certain number of places for The Big Eight Families.
There are people like Walter Wells who aim to stay at Lanarn Training Ground for good.
Then there are children like little Morgan, who are groomed by the family to be the future inheritors.
For members of influential families, safety is a serious concern.
Having bodyguards is one thing, but they also need to be equipped with self-defense capabilities.
Hence, some slots are reserved for youngsters like Morgan Zhekova and Adrian Zhekova
They don’t need to endure life-threatening rigorous training like Walter Wells to stay at the Lanarn Training Ground.
However, Lanarn Training Ground is known for its toughness.
...
Even the basic training here is far stricter than anywhere else.
But these inheritors can endure it.
At least there are no immediate threats to their lives and current strictness ensures their future safety.
Hence, none of the families objected.
As long as the children don’t die from training, no matter how stringent the workouts are, it’s all fine.
Cindy Clarke immediately turned to query Adrian Zhekova, “Did you also start at this age?”
Since she cherishes Morgan, Cindy did not want Morgan to undergo rigorous training at this tender age.
As it stands, Morgan is already shouldering a slew of extra courses Adrian Zhekova had planned, and Cindy could tell he was exhausted.
Born into a wealthy family, these children experience the comfort of a golden spoon.
But the efforts they put in are equally substantial.
You reap what you sow.
Morgan may not have been born with a golden spoon in his mouth.
After all, his first four years were a simple, middle-class life.
Only returning to the Zhekova family now, he has been thrust into an intense inheritors’ nurturing programme. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Sometimes Cindy wishes Morgan had an ordinary family background instead.
Although no extraordinary wealth can be obtained, contentment brings happiness.
Now, he’s facing dangers, learning a lot, sacrificing a significant amount of time.
While the other children are still playing with toy cars and digging in the sand, Morgan has to be sent to Lanarn Training Ground for hard training.
Adrian Zhekova understood Cindy’s concern, knowing her hesitation stemmed from her doting.
Adrian Zhekova nodded and said, “It’s a longstanding practice of The Big Eight Families.
Once a child turns five, they’re sent to Lanarn Training Ground.”
Others envy the ability of The Big Eight Families to seize such opportunities.
Common folks yearn for these rewards as they’re out of their reach.
Cindy nodded.
Since it’s an established practice, even if it causes pain, it must be abided by.
She knew fully well that her son Morgan is growing up, and he cannot be cosseted too much.
He is destined to take up responsibilities in the future.
“Daddy achieved it, and I know you can too,” Cindy assured Morgan.
Morgan was silent.
He had only heard about Lanarn Training Ground from Adrian Zhekova.
He did not know the specifics, but the serious expressions of Adrian Zhekova and Cindy told him that the place must be tough.
The uncertain child asked, “How long do I have to stay there?”
The old master laughed and reassured him, “Don’t worry, it’s not a permanent arrangement.
You go for training during summer holidays, and once school commences, you return.
You’ll be tutored by the Masters of Lanarn Training Ground alongside your regular studies.”
“During school time, you will only train at the Lanarn Training Ground on weekends,” the old master stated, “So, you won’t be away from home for a long period.”
Children of this age usually do not prefer being away from home for long.
Though the old master didn’t express it, he too was reluctant to see him go.
But he knew it was necessary for Morgan to become self-reliant in the future.
When strictness is required, it cannot be avoided.
Any reluctance had to be swallowed down.
“Let’s start next month,” the old master suggested, allowing a transition period for both Morgan and Cindy.
He did not want Morgan to begin at the training ground abruptly.
“Beginning next month, send him to the Lanarn Training Ground for drill,” the old master finally decreed.
“Also, it’s not clear yet whether the danger is aimed at Morgan or the people around him,” the old master added.
“We can’t be sure at the present,” the old master sighed, “Usually, an individual is more sensitive to personal threats.
Sensing the danger around others signifies their perceptiveness.”
“Another scenario is that he was with the person who was going to be endangered, so he sensed it as well,” Adrian Zhekova reasoned.
The old master looked at Adrian Zhekova then at Cindy.
At that time, Morgan was with Adrian Zhekova and Cindy.
Indeed, there was a possibility.
Because of the proximity, they may sense the impending danger to each other as well.
“At the very least, Lanarn Training Ground is very safe,” the old master assured Cindy, “It is safer than staying with us.”
“In this world, no place is absolutely safe.
But, Lanarn Training Ground is one of the safest places,” the old man stated, “If Lanarn Training Ground is unsafe, it means we’re unsafe as well.”
“Morgan staying at Lanarn Training Ground is safer than here with us,” the old master stated, “If the adversaries are targeting Morgan, they won’t be able to infiltrate there.”
“Unless they can find an organization equivalent to Lanarn Training Ground.
Even with strong attacks, the intruders can’t easily get in,” the old master mentioned, “The only organization on par with it is Thorne.”
“Fortunately, Thorne is on our side,” Adrian Zhekova said, smiling.
The Thorne’s main base is in the Star Stripe Nation, and there is no conflict with the Lanarn Training Ground.
They have never thought of encroaching on Lanarn Training Ground.
Except for this, there are no other threats to Lanarn Training Ground.
The possibility becomes even slimmer when it comes to individuals.
Cindy may be concerned for Morgan, but considering this, she was now more willing to send him to Lanarn Training Ground.
“The safety of Morgan is our first priority.
The adults’ safety, we can deal with,” the old Master confirmed.
Both Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova nodded, agreeing with the old master’s viewpoint.
However, when Cindy pondered the fact that Morgan had to go to Lanarn Training Ground for training in just a month, she couldn’t help but feel reluctant.
She even regretted deciding to go to Pingla Academy.
If only she had decided to go a month later.
She could have spent more time with Morgan during that period.
Without triggering the Family Head’s abilities, Adrian Zhekova could understand Cindy’s thoughts.
He comforted, “He won’t be in Lanarn Training Ground forever.
Now he has his summer holiday and he is not at home during the day for his remedial classes, even if you were home, you wouldn’t see him.”
“Next month when Morgan is to go to Lanarn Training Ground, his Nursery would also commence,” Adrian informed.
Seeing the old master’s countenance showing he had more to say.
Adrian Zhekova looked at the old master.
“In my opinion, for now, Morgan can skip Nursery and stay at Lanarn Training Ground for at least a month.
Going only on weekends will just help him get a grasp of the basics.
Suddenly bringing him back home won’t really help much,” the old master suggested.
The old master usually cherished Morgan.
But when it mattered, he was unflinching.
