As the sun shone its brightest through the territory of the Fang faction. I rubbed off the sweat on my forehead using the back of my hand while chasing my breath. I raised my hands as I focused my gaze at my foe currently standing a few ters away from waiting for my next attack.
hrad raised his fist while staring at like a hawk waiting for its prey.
I toughened my legs and charged towards him. I hurled my fist in his direction but he easily dodged it with little to no movent. As a follow-up, I once more launched my fist aiming for his head but he easily deflected it by chopping my elbow and at the sa ti, unleashing a powerful punch towards my face, to dodge the attack, I imdiately jumped back and repositioned myself.
"You did a great job. You are already keeping up with even without the help of Extre speed." He comnted.
I raised both of my fists. "Yeah? Said the person who I couldn't beat in a pure physical battle."
He chuckled. "Don't forget that beastkins have extraordinary physical strength. Even Though demons also have remarkable physical capabilities, unlike us who already have it since the day we're born, you demons need to develop it first to see so improvents."
Suddenly, he launched a punch targeting my face. Once more, I jumped out.
"And fighting without using any magic is the best way to develop it?"
He tilted his head sideways. "That's one. But, the main reason we're doing this is, if ever you get stuck in a situation where you need to fight without magic, you won't end up powerless because you are too lean on your magic capabilities. We don't know when that would happen or if it would ever happen." He raised his hand and separated his feet. "However, it's still better to be prepared whenever that ti cos."
With great speed, he rushed towards and launched a chop towards my face. I dodge it by squatting and at the sa ti, I hurled my fist towards his chin.
I managed to hit him but the next thing I saw was his terrifying smile while looking at . "Very well."
Fuck!
A powerful punch in the face instantly threw away while spinning in the air. If I didn't drive my body to spin, my face would probably be facing the opposite direction now. I managed to land while squatting with my feet and hand supporting .
The next thing I heard was his gentle chuckle while walking towards .
"The last ti that happened, my face got planted to the ground," I said as I stood up.
"I see, the sa technique won't be as effective when used twice or more against you. You have very good observation skills. You are accustod to fighting, aren't you?"
"Yeah, I was often accidentally getting involved in street fights when I was younger. That's why I'm a little bit used to fighting."
My high school life was outrageous. People thought I was a delinquent just because I was always acting edgy. Little did they know it was just an act. I was always getting pulled in the middle of trouble, so I had no choice but to train so no one could beat my sorry ass. And to my surprise, those skills I got from those experiences ca in handy in this world, well sort of.
"Really? And here I thought you were so kind of trained assassin."
A what?
"What made you think of that?"
He smirked. "You have no hesitation in your eyes. Every ti I fought you, your eyes always looked like you were aiming for a kill. That's the eyes of soone who would have no problem killing people and would never feel even a little bit of guilt afterward."
I scratched my head. "Really? Do I really look like that? I can't see myself like that."
He chuckled. "But the funny part is, your personality is completely different from the way you look."
Even if I looked in the mirror, I couldn't see what they were talking about, and the scary part was, he's not the very first person who said the sa thing to .
"What is the difference? I'm pretty sure he's been acting as he is." Leo comnted.
"Big bro Casimir is a good person."
I smiled and raised my thumbs up at them.
"Perhaps. But we will see." hrad rushed towards .
I hurled my fist towards him in response to his assault.
"Mister Casimir."
Both of us stopped on our path when we heard a familiar voice a ter away from us. As we shifted our gaze we found Kuro bowing her head on us.
We stood properly and faced her.
"Do you need sothing, Kuro?" I asked.
"Yes, I am here to report sothing."
I walked towards the wooden bench where Leo and Misha were sitting and grabbed the glass bottle of water and the towel. Kuro just silently followed .
"What is it?" I wiped off the sweat on my face with the towel.
"We have scouted 2 groups of humans on their way here. Both of them were from the kingdom of Inizio."
"Inizio? What is their purpose for coming here?"
"As of now, it is still unclear."
"I see. Do you have any idea who these people are?"
She nodded. "Yes, the first group that travels with great speed and consists of elite knights of the kingdom of Inizio is being led by the prominent knight of the kingdom, Captain Callan Adelaide. Master Leal sent more marionettes to investigate them and was just waiting for your order to make a move."
A Captain? What would a Captain need from this place? Don't tell soone is already coming for ?
Man, I don't have any good experience that involves the Captains of the kingdom of Inizio. The last one I t literally tried to kill and Misha.
I hope he won't bring trouble here.
"We need to discover their purpose first, if a Captain was sent here, it only ans it's a very serious matter. Just observe them and if they do sothing worth the suspicion, capture them for further investigation."
"Yes."
"And who is in the second group?"
"The second group consists of 5 royal carriages and a few knights led by the Prince of the kingdom of Inizio, Dieter Inizio."
A Prince? What the hell is happening that they decided to go here?
I nodded and stared at Kuro. "Let them be, I will et them myself."
She bowed her head. "I understand."
As if I have a choice, I can't just 'shoo' them away because as far as I rember, the kingdom of Inizio and this town has a sowhat good relationship, blindly driving them away or showing any hostility is never a good option in this situation.
As long as they won't do sothing bad, I should keep my cool towards them.
