Slaughtering Pigs

Just as Saburoh Toyomi asked Yuya Osako to slaughter another pig, Veigar was already thinking of an excuse to help. He had also been keeping an eye on Sho Yoshida, who had entered the pigsty.

However, this sudden turn of events was an opportunity for Veigar, a chance to harvest a wave of Source of Life and increase his Chakra.

It was also an opportunity that would allow him to have an excuse to indirectly or directly participate in the slaughter of livestock in the future.

Veigar, who was sitting on a small stool separating pig innards, instantly stood up, grabbed the longest small knife placed to the side, and his Chakra erupted.

Veigar's small body erupted with extreme speed, charging straight towards the Big Fat Pig that was rushing towards him.

Yuya Osako, behind Veigar, saw Veigar's actions and his expression instantly changed in shock.

"It's over."

The expressions of the others also instantly turned pale.

When Veigar was less than five meters away from the Big Fat Pig, his entire body leaped into the air. He gripped the sharp small knife tightly with both hands, aimed at the pig's head, and thrust it with all his might.

The knife, over twenty centimeters long, pierced through the entire pig's head from top to bottom. Before the Big Fat Pig could react violently, while its body was still suspended in the air, Veigar stomped on its head with both feet, unleashing all his strength.

"Bang."

The entire Big Fat Pig was stomped to the ground by Veigar, instantly becoming listless.

With a beautiful backflip, Veigar landed steadily on the ground.

"Little Veigar, how dare you rush over? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Yuya Osako, holding a butcher knife, shielded Veigar tightly behind him, his eyes fixed on the Big Fat Pig lying on the ground with a knife stuck in its head. He reprimanded Veigar with concern.

Knowing that Yuya Osako was concerned about him, Veigar was very moved and replied, "Uncle Yuya, don't worry, I'm fine!"

Even though he said that, the process was actually very dangerous.

"Sho Yoshida, what are you still standing there for? Come and help."

Yuya Osako didn't have time to pay attention to Veigar behind him and roared at Sho Yoshida.

"Yes."

Sho Yoshida also came to his senses, grabbed the Binding rope, and ran to the side of the Big Fat Pig, quickly tying up its four legs.

Seeing that the situation was smoothly resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Veigar behind Yuya Osako.

At this moment, Yuya Osako turned around and cursed at Veigar, "That was very dangerous just now, don't you know?"

"You still dared to rush up, what if something happened?"

"With your small body, you're not even enough for it to bump into."

Veigar smiled and interrupted Yuya Osako's scolding: "Uncle Osako, don't worry."

"Even if I haven't graduated yet, I'm very strong."

"After all, I'm going to be a ninja and protect everyone in the future."

Looking at the faint smile on Veigar's young face, Yuya Osako's anger subsided. He instructed Veigar: "If you encounter such a dangerous situation again, remember to run, understand?"

"You're still young, let us adults handle these things."

Then, Yuya Osako turned around, preparing to move the Big Fat Pig on the ground to the Slaughter Platform to complete the final slaughter.

"Little Veigar, you're amazing!"

"Brave Little Veigar, you'll definitely be a great ninja in the future."

The surrounding workers all gave Veigar a thumbs-up and praised him.

Veigar followed Yuya Osako, who was carrying the Big Fat Pig. As the Big Fat Pig was placed on the Slaughter Platform, it completely lost its life characteristics, and its Source of Life began to dissipate.

Seeing this, Veigar quickly moved closer and touched the Big Fat Pig.

Instantly, a powerful warm current surged into Veigar's body.

The Source of Life from a pig was incomparable to that of a fish; it was like the difference between a cup of water and a bucket of water.

After absorbing the Source of Life from the Big Fat Pig, Veigar felt that the fatigue from his recent outburst had completely disappeared due to the absorption of the Source of Life, and his body was once again filled with strength.

Yuya Osako, who was lowering his head to bleed the pig, looked up and saw Veigar behind the Slaughter Platform. He shouted again: "Little Veigar, why aren't you going to work?"

"Got it, I'm going now."

With that, Veigar quickly ran off.

The busy morning passed, and it was time for a break. After eating Stewed Meat Soup in the Slaughterhouse, Veigar moved a small stool and leaned against the wall to practice refining Chakra.

As soon as he refined new Chakra, Veigar felt a significant change. Its weight had increased by at least another ounce or two, comparable to his gains over the previous three months.

Yuya Osako had originally intended to find Veigar to have a good talk. However, when he saw Veigar sitting by the wall with his eyes closed, practicing, he mistakenly thought Veigar was resting and quietly walked away.

After a long while, Veigar, who had finished his practice, still had his eyes closed. He thought to himself: "Indeed, choosing to work at the Slaughterhouse was the most correct decision I ever made."

After the break, a new round of slaughter work began. Veigar wanted to help with the slaughtering, but Yuya Osako sternly refused.

Even though Veigar argued persistently, using his recently displayed martial prowess as an excuse, he was still unable to get a chance to participate.

And as soon as Veigar mentioned the brave scene just now, Yuya Osako became furious and kept scolding Veigar, which also led to Veigar's plan falling through.

However, Veigar didn't plan to give up. He decided to use the method of boiling a frog in warm water, gradually getting Yuya Osako used to his indirect participation in the slaughtering work.

Soon, more than half a month passed, and time came to the 1st of each month.

Today was not only the day Veigar could receive his subsidy from the village, but also the day the slaughterhouse paid wages.

In the past few days, Veigar had also gotten Yuya Osako to accept his help when he was slaughtering.

Moreover, seeing Veigar's persistence, Yuya Osako would also teach Veigar the techniques for slaughtering livestock.

This allowed Veigar to absorb a lot of Source of Life during these days. Although the Source of Life he absorbed each time was only about one-fifth of the full amount because he was not the one personally slaughtering, but indirectly involved, he believed that every little bit counts. Veigar didn't have excessive expectations for himself to be able to perform the main slaughtering work himself at the moment.

Because absorbing the Source of Life had the effect of restoring fatigue, Veigar was full of energy after working in the morning and going to class.

Unlike the previous period when he had a bit of Lack of Energy and easily got distracted in class.
