****(POV)
In a clearing, there is a fight happening.
The young man Zero is getting ganged upon.
The boar king charges at him, yet he elegantly evades it.
That is the mont the snake decides to strike, trying to swallow his target whole.
The would-be victim simply swings his sword sending the creature flying.
*TING*
How?!
The mantis teleports behind the target only for him to flick his sword backward.
*TING*
His will is strong enough to protect the sword from any damage.
They all co again for another assault.
At the sa ti.
He rotates on himself sohow pushing back every one of them easily.
However, he is huffing and panting.
This short fight already took a toll on him.
That is when he grumbles.
"One more."
The deer enters the fray.
A ton of tentacles
A few seconds later the young man is defeated.
"*Sigh* I'm still too weak."
I co closer.
"The way I see it you are strong enough. How many 12 years old can fight 3 beast kings to a standstill?"
"Perhaps, but I'm far from my goal. I need to beco strong enough to stand at his side!"
I feel like the youngster has so misconceptions about our king.
One could say he is extrely powerful.
I an he has managed to defeat one of the oldest true guardians.
Except he was sleeping at the ti.
Whenever he is awake, he sohow seemspathetic?
Yet at the sa ti, he would be able to take a beating from all of us without batting an eye.
He is a nonsensical existence.
One that seems undefeatable yet useless.
Then again, the representative is following him.
I wonder if she has understood who and what he truly is yet?
Then there is the whole thing with the trees.
I rember that ti the king tried making a weapon clearly.
With it turning to dust in his hands sohow.
I know for a fact it wasn't any power related to swordsmanship.
At all!
I have no clue how he did it, but he managed to easily cut through.
Then the kid saw the remnants of this destruction.
Since then, he has been diligently learning.
By himself, sohow.
Learning swordsmanship from sothing that has no relation to the discipline.
At first, I was convinced it was a useless endeavor.
I was thinking that he'd realize that soon and give up.
I still have no clue how, but he succeeded.
He sohow managed to quickly achieve sword will.
Then he also beca a rank 3 not long afterward.
There are many rank 2 and 3 beasts here.
Hunting a few is not an issue.
With increased nourishnt, his growth accelerated.
I was expecting him to stall at that level for a while.
Nope.
He kept improving his swordsmanship.
We have no way to test for skills right now, but he probably gained a key new one.
Weirdly he seems to be on a different path than one to achieve sword spirit.
It doesn't make much sense.
In any case, I am but a fox.
Spying on humans won't make understand.
I can't even wield a sword myself.
Any other would have been ecstatic with such progress.
Any other would have beco arrogant.
Not him.
He started to ask for combat training.
Saying stuff about how hacking trees all day was useless.
I an the king himself did so many things that looked completely useless.
The more it goes the more I feel like all mbers of this sect are insane.
I still rember the beggar-looking man that the king once ca into the forest with.
Sohow, he seed to be able to use all magic types in the world.
He gave a weird feeling too.
Like I wouldn't be able to best him no matter what.
That simple-looking man.
Now the kid that is showing such fighting spirit against us.
We are supposed to be scary!
We are supposed to be powerful!
Yet now here we are.
Not able to beat him in a duel.
This is laughable.
I wonder how the people out there would react if they knew?
I know people at the Border Town fear us very much.
Yep, we are getting our asses kicked by a rank 3 kid.
I feel bad for whoever will beco his enemy in the future.
There is only one thing to do with super-geniuses like him.
That is to kill them before they beco stronger.
After that they beco unstoppable.
It is too late for that.
We are all here for him, even the Ant Queen that is often grumbling.
She keeps saying she won't babysit, yet I've seen her subordinates keeping tabs on us.
On his progress.
She is the type to badmouth people often, but she is loyal.
She simply likes to act indifferent.
She thinks that a Queen should act like so.
To show prestige or sothing.
I think she heard that a long ti ago.
Sotis I beco afraid.
Afraid of how it could have ended.
What if we didn't accept the king?
What if we were his enemy?
He seems to have the talent to recruit monsters.
That is coming from , a shadow fox.
A creature recognized as deadly.
One that can assassinate anyone easily.
Or so the legend goes
Frankly, I believe the king to be invincible.
"I have rested enough. Let's resu!"
You have rested enough?!
What an obvious lie!
The only thing keeping you going is your strong will!
What about our side?!
We are still tired!
Ah, whatever.
This is a good thing.
I'm just glad we are nurous.
We can rotate easily to share the burden.
Should I join this ti?
I wait until the fight gets heated.
I shadow blink behind his back andwhat?!
Just as I get to backstabbing him I see his sword enlarging in front of .
This is bad!
I narrowly dodge but I feel so of my fur getting cut.
, the one in shadow form.
the one that cannot be hard by physical attacks.
Yes, I'm being screwed over by a sword.
Yep.
At this point, I feel like the sword he is using is more of a decoration.
It is his will thatoh god.
I just had a sad thought.
Normally it would be a ridiculous one
But knowing the king did sothing similar too
How long before the youngster beats us up with sticks?!
Tell it won't happen!
My dignity!
