After the two had left, the bears paw ignited in blue flames and it shattered the barrier without much effort. It looked towards the trees where a certain figure was standing.
Hells fire? A D rank one at that. What an interesting little beast, truly interesting. To think it even noticed my presence while that brat did not,it not like I was hiding but still.
Not to mention it still a little brat, an adult flame bear would be understable but for a brat to be this strong is a wonder. Congratulations little beast, you've successfully drawn my attention, the figure said with an excited grin and disappeared with a flicker.
Snow was sleeping on his lap, she was really tired after putting a being much higher than herself in an illusion, briefly as that might've been.
He was thinking about that battle, he was truly outclassed. It had higher stats which was not an issue, beasts had higher stats than humans to begin with but humans can still match them with martial arts and skills.
However that thing could also use martial arts, skills are understandable, beasts and monsters had their own skills as well, however martial arts? That a bit unfair.
What even more frustrating was that it was a better martial artist than he was. He had been training almost everyday for months now and he was yet to reach the minimum level to be considered a martial artist.
He looked to the conor where his mantle of the dark spawn lay. He still had not figured out how to put that thing into his soul space so it still lay in his room torn.
He sighed and went to the guild training rooms. He rented a room for the entire day, they had all the training gear one could ever need.
You can even adjust the gravity of the room to fit your desired level. He started practicing his punches. He knew his stance was not right somehow, he just did not know what he was doing wrong.
He was following the manual exactly as it was written, yet there was barely any improvement in his martial arts. The same went for his kicks.
His sword stance was the worst of them all. The sword felt like it does not even belong in his hand. He was starting to believe he was not suitable to be a swordman but he was not going to give up.
His training went on until the next morning, his breathing was heavy and sweat was falling off his body. Although the movements looked simple, practicing them was a straining process.
He found Snow still sleeping, her breathing was soft, she looked peaceful. He went to take a shower and had breakfast. He planned to continue his training for the rest of the day, he really wanted a rematch with that bear.
Just thinking about fighting it again made his heart pound. It was an exciting thought, he was not a man who liked many things but it seems battle is one of the things he enjoys.
He went back to the guild, he met the party there. Hey Clark, wanna join us today? He shook his head. Damnit, Cathra grumbled, okay, tell us when you free okay? He nodded.
Victor clicked his tongue, turned around and followed the others. Noel just shook his head and went to rent out a room again. He found someone was already inside there.
He looked at the room number, it matched his. Ahh, I'm sorry, I think you might be in the wrong room, he said. No, I'm right where I want to be.
I see, well I rented out this room for the day so leave. That not how you talk to your elders brat. It.... Not? He genuinely liked confused, are you even my elder? You don't look much older than I am.
Or maybe I'm just that much stronger, that my looks don't fit my age.The woman said as she stood up. She was tall, taller than most women, taller than even him and he was above the average height for a man. Do you want to find out how much stronger I am brat? She asked with a grin.
No, I'm not interested but thank you for asking, now could you please leave, I need this room, he said in a flat tone looking directly at the woman. She took a step.
Before he realised she was already standing infront of him, he saw her move, he saw her every step yet he does not know when she got right infront of him.
He felt nothing from her, her body felt like that of a mortal, he felt not an ounce of mana from her but his very body screamed for him to run, his senses went haywire as he looked into her blood red eyes, excitement flooded his body, a tiny grin appeared on his lips before disappearing, she's strong, he thought.
You going to continue with what you were going to do and pretend I'm not here, she said in a commanding voice.And why would I do th....before he could finish his sentence his head was already planted on the floor.
He did not even see her move yet her hand pressed his head down from behind. Right? Yes ma'am, he replied. He was not a fool, he knew there was nothing he can do against her, so he might as well comply, for now.
He swore he would get her back one day. He wiped the blood off his face and started his training. Every now and then he would steal a glance at the woman who was watching him.
Everytime he did so it seemed her mood was getting sour. What her problem? He thought. As he was busy doing his routine punches and kick he heard a loud boom.
He turned his head and the wall behind the woman had a huge crater. Her arms were crossed and her face had turned dark. What the fuck was that?she asked. Huh? What the fuck did i just watch you do for the past 10 minutes.
Lady I didn't ask you to watch me, that on you, I just want to practice my martial arts in peace. Martial arts?, you call that thing martial arts?
That was the worst thing I have ever seen in my life, I have seen goats with more coordination than you, I want to say you're like a chicken in a humans body but that would be insulting to chickens.
You don't have to be so harsh about it, he said. It best I leave before I kill you for making me watch that, she said as she stood to leave. I didn't make you watch anything, you decided that on your own.
She stood infront of the door, her red hair and white coat floating behind her, without turning back she said. Be here tomorrow morning.
No, I'm busy tomorrow. She did not say anything and just left. Who was that crazy woman? He thought.
