Hoil, the leader of the Carsia Clans Shadow Knights, was perplexed after Barvans return without any communication in ten days.
More precisely, it wasnt because of Barvan but because of Kaiyan, he brought along.
This guy seems suspicious.
Kaiyan, I will et with my father for a mont, so please take a rest.
Understood.
Hoil knew that Barvan was a suspicious person, but seeing him act so familiar was unexpected.
What could have happened to the young master in those ten days? Moreover, the aura he felt from the person nad Kaiyan was very ambiguous.
He seed like a knight who had learned aura, but also not. However, it was impolite to ask directly, given the circumstances and the young masters warning not to be rude.
Have soone guide Kaiyan to a resting place. Hes an important guest, so dont be discourteous.
An opportunity presented itself.
Barvan, I will personally guide him to the guest room!
Hmm? Are you personally doing that? Even without
No! Ill do it myself!
It was a chance to learn more about this Kaiyan and, given the uneasy feeling he gave Hoil, he couldnt just leave him alone in the mansion. Ignoring Barvans puzzled expression, Hoil approached Kaiyan.
Follow . I will guide you to the guest room.
Yes? Ah Alright.
As expected.
Even though he had just spoken firmly to him a mont ago, there was no reaction from Kaiyan. This ant Kaiyan was at least a knight who had learned aura.
Does the young master know that fact?
Hoil looked at Kaiyan with a suspicious glance. Kaiyan, eting his gaze, spoke.
Can you guide ?
Ahem Co with .
Hoil led Kaiyan to the room assigned to guests when nobles visited the Karsha Clan.
He had briefly considered whether he should guide Kaiyan to a different room since he wasnt a noble, but he brought him to the guest room because he didnt know the relationship between Barvan and Kaiyan yet.
Here we are.
Oh As expected of a nobles mansion, even the guest rooms are splendid.
Tsk. To be so surprised.
Hoil didnt like the fact that Kaiyan was astonished by the room.
How did this guy manage to beco close to the young master, anyway?
Even though Barvan was known to be comfortable with so, there were only Salmos, himself, and Ecrin.
Wait a mont.
Listen.
Yes?
Why didnt Lord Salmos co with you? I rember that Lord Salmos and Lord Ecrin went out together according to my mory.
Oh, Salmos wont be seen again in the future. He died by my hand.
What?
At the news of Salmoss death, Hoils face twisted, and he glared at Kaiyan.
Can you take responsibility for those words? And why did Lord Barvan co with you if you really killed Salmos?
Hoil wanted to draw his sword and deal with Kaiyan, who made such a claim, imdiately. But he restrained himself because Kaiyan was Barvans guest.
Well Salmos did sothing that deserved death.
This!
Hoil wanted to draw his sword and deal with Kaiyan, who made such a claim, imdiately. But he restrained himself because Kaiyan was Barvans guest.
Enough! This isnt a fight! Your actions have insulted Salmos and damaged Lord Barvans honor!
I apologize, but I have no intention of fighting. Lord Barvan requested that I remain quiet.
This guy! This isnt a fight! Its a reprimand for your disrespectful behavior!
Hoil didnt like Kaiyan very much, but he didnt want to kill him either. Regardless, he was Barvans guest. However, he planned to provide Kaiyan with a sharp lesson to correct his arrogant attitude.
Are you suggesting a duel?
Thats right! If youre a knight, dont avoid it and accept it.
Well a duel isnt a fight, you know. Alright, but you dont plan on doing it here, do you? I really like this room.
Hmph! Follow .
Hoil, imagining the contorted expression Kaiyan would make later, led him to the first training ground right next to the mansion.
The training ground is vast, but theres no one here?
This is the first training ground. Only high-ranking knights can use it. Rember that with honor.
The first training ground that Hoil brought Kaiyan to was a place only accessible to high-ranking knights or noble families. He had brought Kaiyan here instead of the second training ground to prevent onlookers.
It would be troubleso if Lord Barvan finds out that I fought this guy.
Now, draw your sword and co at . Its a duel, so the first to yield three tis lose.
With a self-assured expression, Hoil lowered his sword while flicking his left hand.
**** ****
This strange old man, Kaiyan thought.
From the mont Kaiyan first t Hoil, he had been eyeing him and now he was challenging him with irritation.
Kaiyan stared back at Hoil, who was provoking him with a relaxed expression, drew his sword, and aid it at him.
Can I really attack first? Kaiyan asked.
Haha, of course, Hoil replied, Use Aura if necessary.
[Kaiyan, please teach him a lesson!]
It seed like Kaiyan needed to educate Hoil, not just based on Riekas words, but also for his own comfort. He might be staying with the Carsia family for so ti, and he couldnt keep feeling uncomfortable because of this person.
Lets start lightly, Kaiyan thought.
Thump!
Without using Aura, Kaiyan applied force to his right foot as if he were kicking, and he swiftly leaped into the air, leaving an afterimage, and with that speed, he swung his sword towards Hoils head.
What?! Hoil exclaid.
Hoil, taken aback by the unexpectedly fast speed, hastily lifted his sword to block Kaiyans strike.
Can he block it? Kaiyan wondered.
Kwaaang!
Kkuack! Hoil grunted as he struggled to block the powerful strike.
Thunk, thunk!
While Hoils sword didnt break, it bent in various directions as if it had struck a massive boulder, and Hoil, who was holding the sword, flew about 10 ters through the air and tumbled on the ground.
What what in the world Hoil muttered.
Now, you have two chances left. Should I continue? Kaiyan asked.
