It''s been 5 years since The Young Champion Tournament. Today is the day we depart to the city! There will be more challenges for sure. I''m heading out with Sidra, Gabe already departed 2 years ago and I have no news about Stella so far.
Sidra: "Hey Vez! Stop spacing out we have to get in the carriage!"
Vez: *Sigh* faces Itzel and Venny "Mom and Dad, Thank you for taking care of me, I''ll return home someday and when I get back I will have a name"
Itzel: *sniffs* "When you feel like going home just return to us sweetie, You don''t have to go to the path that experiences hardships"
Venny: "Son! I''m sure you will return a soldier that can turn the tides of the war and also..." *Gives a dagger* "Take this dagger, It''s being passed through generations to our family. It is yours now."
Vez: "Thank you, I promise I will exceed your expectations"
Ayla: *sniffs* "sweetie! Give mommy a kiss before you leave"
Sidra: "I''ll miss you mom" *smooch*
Bruce: "Take care of Gabe when you get there and make sure he takes care of himself"
Sidra: "Sure dad" *hugs Went inside the carriage*
Bruce taps Vez on the shoulder
Vez: (???)
Bruce: "Please take care of my daughter, Ever since I''ve seen you won a battle against an enhanced opponent. I believe you''re strong enough to even beat Gabe himself, I don''t know what age you have awakened but you''re gifted"
Vez: "No problem, I''ll take care of Sidra"
Bruce: "Thank you"
Vez went inside the carriage and departs
it will take 3 days to get to the city from our town so there will be stop overs on the tavern. By that time I''ll train before sleeping. Whenever Sidra sleeps inside the carriage I meditate.
---2 Days later---
Sidra: "We''re one day away to the city I can''t wait to train again"
Vez: "Yeah, I hope the school we''re going to have good trainers."
Sidra: "There''s no doubt about it! I heard the 5th prince we''re going to will be there. Do you think I look cute?"
Vez: "Uhh sure"
Sidra hits Vez
Sidra: "Just sure?" angrily
Vez: "Haha come on, after seeing the noble''s kid in our tournament, do you even think the prince might be the same?"
Sidra: "Prince''s parents are king and queen and their job is to take care of the city. The prince might be even nice! Unlike the noble who just cares about the money"
Vez: "People have deep dark secrets you know"
Sidra: "Stop lecturing me like you know everything"
The carriage stops
Vez: "Huh?"
Sidra: "A stop over in daylight?" *peeks at the window* Sidra went pale
Sidra: "Our coachman is... is... lying on the ground, blood all over" shaking
Vez: Looks at the window (Mercenaries? Paid Killers?)
Merc Leader: "Come out kids!"
Vez: "Why do you after us!"
Merc Leader: "There''s a big price on your head kid and the girl we can just sell her to the freaks"
Vez: "Is it the noble of Roneldus paid you?"
Merc Leader: "Good guess kid! You''re smart but to bad it''s your last day"
Sidra: "Vez, I don''t want my life to end like this" Sidra is about to cry from fear
Vez: "Let''s run to the forest! Now!"
Vez pulls Sidra then both ran to the forest
Merc Leader: "Surround them!"
---Moments Pass---
Sidra: "I can''t run anymore, I can''t feel my legs"
Vez: *Grabs Sidra and carries her*
Sidra: "Wha- what are you doing!"
Vez: "They are still chasing, We need to keep on moving"
Merc: "Found you finally, Boys they''re here"
Mercenaries encircled Vez and Sidra
Vez: (Shit! I have no choice but to reveal my magic to Sidra) "Sidra, What I''m about to do keep it a secret between us"
Sidra: "A secret?"
Merc 1: "I want to have fun with the little girl first"
Merc 2: "Selling a virgin has a higher price idiot, Our leader will kill you"
Merc 1: "I''ve never touched a woman for so long now"
Vez: "You bunch of freaks, step closer or you''ll regret it!"This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.
Merc 3: *Laughs* "He''s a brave boy, Sorry but us adults are stronger than little kids"
Merc 4: "I don''t get why he hired our ranks for just a child''s play. Even just a rank F can take care of this"
Vez casted Clairvoyance
Vez: (There are 15 of them... 10 rank D, 3 rank C and 2 rank B)
Merc 1: "Come here girl!"
Sidra: *screams*
Slash
Merc 1''s head fell off
Sidra eyes went wide open
Sidra: "A rescue? Help! Help!"
Vez: "Sidra... It''s me, please keep this a secret between us or else something bad happens"
Sidra: "V-Vez?"
Merc 2: "You brat!"
Mercs rushes forward
Vez enhances his speed, strength and focus
In a blink of an eye Slash! Slash! Slash! 3 more died
Vez: "Good thing I have the dagger my dad gave to me"
Merc 4: "You''re not normal"
Merc 5: "You 6 rank D mercs, Rush forward we range and support users will help"
Mercs rushes forward
Mercs: "Yaaaah!"
Mercs starts casting barriers, firing magics and arrows to Vez
Vez casted force field blocking off the projectiles
Vez casted hellflame burning the 6 mercs
Mercs: "AHHHHHH!!!"
Mercs: "Wha-What is this? He has the magic of an A ranker!"
Mercs: "Do not fear we rank C and B, Even a Rank A solo can''t beat us"
All rushes foward after casting a defensive barrier
Support Mercs Enhances all of them
Vez: (This will be tough)
Vez jumps and attempts to maneuver
Vez casted a clone
Mercs: "He cloned himself!"
The clone was enhance with speed and strength
Clone rushes forward to the 3 rank C holding them off
Vez: "I''ll be facing you two"
Merc: "Die!"
Merc attempts to slash
Vez dodged and and thrusts his dagger stabbing the merc
Merc: "Kuk! He''s too fast! My wound is lethal"
Merc grabbed Vez
Merc: "Back Away!"
Other rank B marcs backs away
Merc: "Self-Destruct!"
BOOM!
Merc B: "Did we get him?"
Merc C: "The clone is not fading!"
Merc B: "Huh?"
Vez dashes and Slash! Merc B heads rolled off
Sidra: "V-Vez... how are you this strong?"
Vez casted to self distruct the clone
Boom!
All 3 C rank mercs blown away
Merc C: "Aaaaack!"
Merc C: "I can''t feel my body"
Vez stood on top of him and stabs
Vez walks to Sidra
Vez: "You okay?"
Sidra: "Ah! Um Y-yes"
Vez: "Let''s get back to the carriage... and Sidra"
Sidra: "Y-yes?"
Vez: "Give me your hand"
Sidra: "O-okay"
Vez casted a spell
Sidra: "What did you do?"
Vez: "A trigger"
Sidra: "A t-trigger for what?"
Vez: "If you mention what you learned today, You''re heart will stop"
Sidra pales
Sidra: "Why do you have to hide it? You''re strong! You can even beat a rank B fighter at your age! People will want you! People will envy you!"
Vez: "After those they will fear me, No thank you"
Sidra: "Don''t you want it? You can do everything you wanted!"
Vez: "I am doing what I wanted now shut up"
Sidra: "Kuk!" feeling down
We both then went back to the carriage and the leader is still there waiting.
Merc Leader: "Did they lose you? what a bunch of idiots, I have to do everything myself"
Vez casted Clairvoyance
Vez: "Full enchantment and an A ranker"
Vez: "Sidra, move back"
Sidra: "O-okay"
Merc Leader: "You think you can fight me kid?"
Vez enhances speed and strength and rushes directly to the leader
Merc Leader: "Hm?"
Merc Leader blocks the attack
Vez dashes behind and swing
Merc Leader dodged and kicks Vez
Vez gets knocked on the tree
Vez: "Kuk!" (My energy is still not that big but I have no choice but to use it all)
Vez casted gravity increase
Merc Leader: "Huh? I feel heavy"
Vez: "He''s slowed" casted flame arrows
Merc Leader gets hit multiple times
Merc Leader: "Kuk! I understand now, They lost to you"
Vez creates a mud wall around the leader
Vez casts waterfall to fill the wall surrounded the Merc Leader
Merc Leader: "I won''t die from just drowning kid!"
Merc Leader swings his greatsword and destroys the mudwall
Merc Leader: "Thanks to you I''m soggy wet you brat!"
Merc Leader rushes forward
Vez: "No problem" casts thunder
Boom
Merc Leader: "Ahgh!"
Merc Leader got paralyzed
Vez charges his next spell
Vez: "Got any last words?"
Merc Leader: "Hey kid I can do whatever you want, Spare me"
Vez: "Nice try" shoots hellflame
Merc Leader screams in agony
Merc Leader body is nowhere to be found but the sword
Vez: "Sidra that''s your new weapon" (I feel tired, my vision is getting blurry)
Sidra: "We''re going to take his stuff?"
Vez: "Consider it as my gift and besides you''re a greatsword user and that weapon is enchanted"
Sidra: "O-okay and thank you"
Vez vision is getting dark then he lost consciousness
---Night Time---
Vez wakes up in the carriage and sees Sidra sleeping at the opposite side
Vez: "Atleast she didn''t kill me asleep"
Vez went outside the carriage
Vez: "I guess she either burried or hide the bodies. I can''t see any corpses"
I started roaming around and found the bodies have been piled up a bit far away to our carriage
Vez: "I need to take care of these pile. Our ride is scheduled to be there tomorrow. They''ll come looking for us the day after tomorrow"
Sidra: "Vez! Where are- Oh there you are, I thought you left me here by myself"
Vez: "Sidra, We''ll be here for 2 days"
Sidra: "Uhh where can we get the food?"
Vez: "By hunting of course"
Sidra: "Uh I never hunted in my life"
Vez: "Come I''ll train you"
Sidra: "Train by Vez? Uhh after all those things I''ve said to you? It feels weird"
Vez: "Then goodluck"
Sidra: "Fine, Fine train me, you''re as strong as an A ranker"
---After the Hunt---
Sidra: "Phew! That was tiring"
Vez: "That took us longer from your carelessness"
Sidra: "Hey! It''s my first time, I''ll learn by then..."
Sidra: "...Hey Vez"
Vez: "What"
Sidra: "I''m sorry for what I''ve said from the past"
Vez: "Apologizing out of fear now huh?"
Sidra: "No, no it''s just that I thought you''re weak. So I look down on you"
Vez: "Never judge the book by it''s cover"
Sidra: "Yeah, I learned my lesson... Vez why aim for a warrior when you''re clearly gifted on magic."
Vez: "Magic bores me"
Sidra: "When have you awakened?"
Vez: "6 months old"
Sidra: "S-six months!? You''re lying"
Vez: "I don''t care if you believe it or not"
Sidra: *Sigh* "Well after seeing you beat the mercenaries maybe I do"
Vez: "Get use to your new sword"
Sidra: "Ugh! How heavy is this! And what''s the price on this thing? I bet it''s cheap"
Vez: "With it''s enchantment it will cost 500 gold coins"
Sidra: "Woah, 500!? I can buy own small wooden house for myself with that!"
Vez: "Don''t waste the weapon"
Sidra: "I know, I know, This weapon will hold me til I reach rank A. I don''t have to worry purchasing a new weapon atleast"
Vez: "Alright, you start training while I start our dinner"
Sidra: "Yes boss" starts training
---2 Days Later at night---
Vez: "I see someone coming"
Sidra: "Finally! I smell of dried sweat! I can''t wait to take a bath"
Knights: "Hey you! What happened to the coachman?"
Sidra: "Uhh"
Vez: "Mercenaries took our coachman and left us here"
Knights: "Hmm... Check the surroundings!"
Sidra: (Oh crap! the bodies!)
Vez: "Don''t worry about it, I took care of it" he whispered
Sidra: "O-oh"
Knights: "Come hop on our horses, We''ll be going"
Vez and Sidra: "Thank you"
---Next Day---
We finally arrived at the city of Agosa
Vez: "it''s been a rough week"
Sidra: "Tell me about it, I can''t wait to rest on my dorm"
Knight: "Boy your dorm is here"
Vez: "It''s not bad, alright I''m off"
Sidra: "um... Bye?"
Vez waves
Sidra: "Hmph!" puffing her cheeks
I arrive in my dorm looked for my booked room and crashed to the bed. Finally I can relax now.
Vez then fell to a deep slumber
