《Dragon spirit》 chapter 1 my name is Arowen, i was a living in a planet called earth where science played an important role in human life, it helped people understand the mysteries of the universe, and manipulate the elements to ease human life in that world i was, and yes i was because i died in that world, i was a normal student in my third year of uni, i liked to read novels, manga and watch movies, tv shows and anime, i wasn''t outstanding in my studies but i was good, i had a good brain. i was quite smart if you ask me but novels took most of my study time, i was addicted to them enough talk about who i was, in the end i died and i don''t even know how or rather i can''t remember, so let''s start talking about who i am now i reincarnated into another world, the people here call it spirit world, i was born as a boy(thankfully), and unlike what you may be thinking, i wasn''t self aware from my mothers womb or anything like that, you could rather give the credit of recovering my memory to a random monkey throwing a rock at me after me and some kids annoyed it, it happened like this; i was 4 years old at that time, me and some village boys were playing, when we got this crazy idea to go to the nearby forest and throw rocks at the monkeys there, but who would of thought that they would start retaliating, well..hehe definitely not 4 years old kids, and as it so happened while we were busy running away one lucky shot met its target right onto my head, and i was in a coma for a couple of days while i was remembering my past life and when i woke up, lo and behold as i made full physical recovery i found out later that the village purged that monkey community after the incident and that my fellow trouble makers were punished by their parents, as for me i took a good beating from my father and a long session of scolding from my mother, my ears are still ringing as proof of what happened anyway, that incident went well and i am back to my usual self, with a little change, i got really curious about this world, as no normal human being would recover from a severe head trauma like a little scratch, receive a beating from his father afterwards and still live to tell the tale with no long lasting injury or becoming a retard, and here i am running as if nothing happened at all and it was considered normal i once saw a young man who broke his leg after a 10 meter fall and breaking his leg, one week later he was up and running again with only a few brunches serving as a plaster to hold his leg bone in place i guess it is some kind of magical world, so i started snooping around and asking all kind of questions about the world under the pretext that i wanted to be a traveler, but i was disappointed as the adults would just ignore me and shew me off or just give me some vague answer, that is until i found what looked like a school where the young villagers would go and learn to read and write as it is a necessity in this world for everyone to be at least literate so i joined the group of youths learning under the old teacher josh, he was an aspiring scholar that couldn''t even make it past the preliminaries to join the government and so he came back to his home after some time wondering the world and started teaching the young people of this village to sustain himself and his family my first objective was to learn how to read and write in this world language as it too important for when i go out of this village, and the sooner i learn this basic knowledge the better it is for me as i could learn faster and wider variety of things from books than from one person i joined the group of young people to learn from josh, the ages of students ranged from 7 to 12 years old who were all held in a room that could hold around 50 people inside, the room housed a small shelve that contained thick books and a single chair for old josh while the kids sat on the ground and a blackboard where he would write the words and letters of what is called common language . . . . it has been 6 months since i joined the mini school of the village and i can already read quite a bunch of words, seems like my past worlds sharp mind is still the same even in this world and i think that i got better as i don''t need to write down what is taught, i could remember it just fine after learning it the first time, i feel like a sponge whatever i a learn i remember perfectly so what i learned in these months is that now i live in a world called the spirit world, it is a world filled with essence, widely known as essential energy, this essence is what warriors use to strengthen themselves using mystical techniques , this world is ruled by the strong, only the stronger warrior could have the final say, in this world the strong feast on the weak, and for the weak to survive they either get stronger or go under the banner of someone strong in this world their are two factions, humans and demons, they live with each other in strange harmony, humans like me start off from ordinary using mystic techniques to reach higher realms of power, but the first hurdle is to become a warrior and to do that one must strengthen their body so that it could harness essential energy(A.N: from now on i will call it EE) from the environment and thus start the journey of a warrior in this world their exist two types of warriors, those who have a spirit and those who don''t, when a child reaches 7 years old his spirit will automatically awaken, for at this age their soul fully mature and thus give birth to a spirit, a manifestation of their soul, those who awaken their spirit have an easier time becoming a warrior, while those who don''t would have to put more efforts in their training depending on their talent for those who don''t awaken a spirit they can only acquire one by hunting demons and absorbing their spirit but that can only happen after becoming a warrior as for the specifics it wasn''t mentioned in the small library of old josh, but what is certain is that it is the only chance for one who hasn''t awaken his spirit at 7 to acquire one, there is no impact to the training, one could advance in realms even without a spirit, but what is special about spirits is that at each realm the spirit provide the warrior an innate skill that could give the warrior an advantage over the others, that''s why every spirit awakening is a huge boon to the future warriors in addition to that it is said that when one is at a certain stage they could even summon their spirit into the physical realm to aid them in combat but no further information about the subject could be found as for demons, they start off as normal animals and if they get strong enough and could sense EE they become demons and slowly gain intelligence as they advance in realms, at higher realms they could even take a humanoid form, demons have very powerful bodies and not all of them start as an animal some demons are born demons and some are even born at higher stages of cultivation plus warriors could only get spirits from demons if they didn''t reach maturity as it is easier to tame them and integrate them to their souls If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. demons also have different social structure than humans, unlike us human who are social animals and prosper as we unite the demons have a very territorial mind set, be they lone demons or pack leaders, each demon govern vast territories, and the higher the realm of the demon the bigger its territory and the more lower ranked demons are under its reign that''s you would find that most of the spirit world surface is ruled by demons while what is left is ruled by humans, but that doesn''t mean that humans are inferior to demons,or that the territories they rule is small, it is just that the demons are much more numerous than the humans but in the overall strength structure the humans and demons are similar more detailed information is not available to me now, but i will get it in due time, i am only a 4 years old so needn''t fill my mind with that much concern my only goal for now should be to strengthen my body and mind, and hope that i awaken a spirit as for the place i live in, i already knew that i lived in a mountain village called nisdou, don''t ask me what it means that''s its name this village belong to a kingdom called Zueru and this kingdom in itself belong to an empire called northern Renecos and as it''s name indicate the empire is in the north of the main continent under the rule of the Renecos council the worlds landmass is composed of a main huge continent and many other subcontinents with various sizes and countless islands the main stage of this world is the main continent while the others are not that important, the main continent is not only the biggest but also the strongest and has the highest concentration of EE, and i am living in this continent so i have a better starting point than those who are born in the other subcontinents as the strongest warrior of an empire of those subcontinents may only be as strong as the village chief, and he is considered a weakling in the outside world, so you could say that one subcontinent is like a small town or a big village in the main continent in the main continent know as "martial mainland" there exist 4 empires, one on each of the cardinal positions and each empire houses a lot of kingdoms of which the kings of these kingdoms form a coalition which they call an empire so unlike what is understood in my previous world, an empire here is formed from the alliance of multiple kingdoms who are in constant war among each other with breaks in between, its like those kingdom building games in my previous world, but more brutal and deadly, so these empires witness the rise and fall of multiple kingdoms this world is quite complex if you ask me i couldn''t grasp the complexity of the social construct of the empires or how they are still standing but i shouldn''t bother myself with these things, just thinking about it gives me a headache, heck even thinking about thinking about it gives me a headache anyway these 4 empires are divided by large amount of land which contains a lot of danger that makes the transport of large amount of troops an impossible task otherwise we could be on the brink of a world wide war of mass destruction if we are not already in the middle of a world war already, after according to my past worlds logic this world is already in the state of world war for centuries and maybe more, so just throw fucking logic out of the window and by the way time is like my old world 24 hours a day 7 days a week etc... now i should really stop thinking about the vast outer world and concentrate on the now, after all i am just 4.5 years old and far from becoming a warrior now that a little bit of background and world building is done, i should go back to my own little person after 6 months of information collection, i have an extremely vague sense of the world i was reborn into next step should be to make priorities: 1-become a warrior and then . . . . . . fuck that is like the ultimate goal for now and the only one at that **** POV change**** in the fields of a village you could see a young boy scrunching his face and holding his head, obviously deep into thinking while muttering strange words out of his mouth unlike any language known to the spirit world **** end of POV change**** now that i don''t have any idea about what to do other than becoming a warrior, i should focus on that so what do i need to do to become a warrior, i should probably train, but how do i go about doing that?? **** *ding* a bulb lights up on top of the boys head **** yeah, how could i forget about, almost all the adults of the village are warriors, so i should ask my father and so i happily run back home and by the time i was their the sun started setting so it wasn''t strange to see that the whole family was at home as it was dinner time, my mother was preparing dinner with my big sister, my dad and big brother were both taking care of their weapons "dad dad!! tell me, how can i be a warrior?"i asked of my dad the whole family looked at me surprised as all the kids my age would only think of playing a giving their parents a hard time, and it was also the parents who brings this topic to their children and start teaching them about training "hmm! you really want to learn about training?" he asked me "yes" i nodded my head repeatedly showing my excitement "son, so why do you want to be a warrior" this was a tricky question, but i already have an adequate answer to it taking into account the situation and my current age "i wanna become strong like dad, and so those stinky monkey will not bully me again" it seems my answer satisfied my dad as he nods and laughs "ha ha ha.." and the rest of the family follows in the laughter "good, tomorrow i will teach you, you are still young but it want hurt to start early " at that time mom and big sis isabel brought dinner over "now eat well, and sleep early, tomorrow you will wake up early in the morning to start your training" and so i ate my fill and went to bed, which was not as comfy as my previous world, but when in Rome so as Romans do chapter 2 the next i woke up at dawn but the rest of the family was already up and breakfast was ready, so i straightened up and went to wash my face outside, they didn''t have toothbrush in this place so i did without and just used my fingers after that i went inside and took my breakfast with the rest of the family , my mom hanna, my sister isabel, my father lucas and my brother ray after cleanning the table our whole family moved to an open space behind our home and all of them started trainning except for me and dad we sat at a corner and then he began to introduce me to the warrior world "i will first start be telling you on how i got in touch with the warrior way i was living in a border village peacefully with my parents and sibling for a long time, but one day on my 15 th birthday war broke out with the neighbhore kingdom, we didn''t know what befell us one moment every thing was going great and the next thing we know the village was set to flame i didn''t understand how things changed so quickly, my parents sent me and my siblings into the nearby forest to have a chance at survival while they held off the soldiers but alas they were not warriors unlike the soldiers, in the end only two of us survived, me and my little brother and even after we had escaped we didn''t have it easy as the forest was a dangerous place full of beasts and demons hopefully we made it out alive, afterwards we were stranded in a town where we tasted the darkness of humans we couldn''t find food, to the point where we had to eat from the garbage of others and even after that we had to fight for it then i found the opportunity to join the army, and that''s when we had a change in our life, in the army i learned the basics of cultivation and after the mandatory years of service i quite the army with a few of my friends and some veterans to build a home for us to live safely, and as years went by our village became what it is now so for the cultivation part this world is ruled by the most powerful warriors, but to reach that height one should start from somewhere and that is the mortal realm followed by the warrior apprentice then grand warrior then moon warrior then sun warrior and finally the legendary star warrior in the mortal realm one should train his body to the peak and easily fight bears and tigers barehanded, only then could one qualify to start practicing in EE as a warrior apprentice and further enhance his body, EE give the ability to go beyond your mortal body, for a peak warrior apprentice he could see from a a couple miles clearly and jump more than 10 meters, he could also carry an elephant for a few miles and fight tier 1 demons next is the grand warrior at this stage one could become a commander in the army or a royal guard, one become able to jump a hundred meters in the sky, with a single slash of your sword split a hill and fight with a tier 2 demons This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. then is the moon warrior where you could use an element and manifest your EE into the outside world, you could also glide in the air, run on walls and water like you would on flat earth and fight tier 3 demons, moon warriors are usually generals in the army or heads of big families and businesses then the most prominent realm the sun warrior, at this stage you become a supernatural being, you could live up to 1000 years, fly into the sky like a bird and burrow into the earth like a mole, these warriors are said to be able to destroy mountains and create big holes into the earth, they are the pinnacle of our world, usually these warriors are either kings of an empire or heads of top organizations such as the alchemy association and trade union etc.. as for the legendary star warriors we could only speculate, legend say that they dwell among the stars i just gave you an overview of the cultivation world as a normal warrior as for the spirit users, i am not clear about that in the army they gave us only the training manual of apprentice warriors, further than that one should exchange for it with merits, one could also procure one from an outside source,but that is beyond my financial or social capabilities at your age you should just do some running to build stamina and some light exercise, the stamina you will be building would do you good for later when you start training for real training and also train in some weapons, it is better to build a good foundation early after you reach the peak mortal realm i will impart to you the basic EE gathering manual, currently i am at the middle of the warrior apprentice, the rest still haven''t reached the peak mortal realm so i can''t teach them the basic EE gathering manual, otherwise the influx of EE would cause their body to explode now up you go, do 10 laps around the house, and after you finish we will do some light strength building" wow that was one hell of an information dump, but it seems to be easy to understand, the paths of power begin at the warrior apprentice => grand warrior => moon warrior => sun warrior, any further than that is quite far from me, but it is enough to know that there are higher realms so focusing on the realms for the time being would be the best thing to do, i asked father were the names of the realms came from, but he said that he didn''t know, that it had always been that way alas i can''t get good enough answers from father, as he was only a soldier, so he didn''t have access to too much information and even if he had that access i doubt he would have bothered to look it up so for now i could only rely on myself, and first goal is to become a warrior apprentice, that is the start of my journey chapter 3 it has been a few weeks since i started training my body, i would do 10 laps around the house, 10 squats, 10 push ups, 10 pull ups and other exercises that were popular in my previous life to build a balanced body, i was afraid at first to injure my self as i was too young to do any hard training, but my dad allowed me to do so, so i think that it is normal and not too hard for the children of this world to do this kind of exercises, and after that i would start sword training my father made me a wooden sword and started teaching me the basic sword movements of slash, stab, parry, counter and asked me to do it 100 times for each i was told to repeat these exercises everyday and when i am old enough, i will have to add more reps in these exercises and keep increasing the load as i grew stronger till i reach the peak mortal realm and then my journey would really start so i started by running 10 laps around the house and by the end of it i was breathless, i fell to the ground to catch my breath and relieve my tired body and after 10 minutes of rest i started to do 10 reps of each strength building exercise and by the time i was done i felt my body turn into jelly i couldn''t stop gasping for breath i couldn''t even stand back up i needed 30 minutes to regain some strength, and at the end of an hour i felt that i could move freely again albeit i still felt pain all over my body, this feeling wasn''t a stranger to me, i felt it a lot in my previous life the person i was before all this reincarnation stuff although strong was out of shape till i started training at 20 and to get in shape i suffered through a lot of pain so you could say that i am used to it afterwards, i picked the wooden sword and started practicing my basic stances 100 each and as you could guess at the end of this training session i was exhausted, and even after an hour of rest, i still haven''t recovered an ounce of strength, mom and big sis were forced to carry me back home as it was time for lunch, once home mom gave me a bath, which definitely didn''t feel awkward at all (i felt extremely embarrassing to be bathed by mom) after the nice(not that nice) bath, my muscles were relaxed and i could move my limbs once more, so i had lunch and then went out to a nearby field to relax and think a little bit i made it there in twice the amount of time i usually need and threw my self on the soft grass, this field was planted with grass for the cattle to graze, and it was very abundant probably due to the EE in this world, i don''t really want to think deeply about this now as i laid on the soft grass amidst some cows and sheep i fell into the sweet embrace of sleep mostly due to the exhaustion i accumulated during the day ***in the dream(mind) of our MC*** i was in a foggy place i can''t see anything, i can''t even see my hand when i stretch it in front of me i feel as if i am drunk, i can''t completely focus, my perception sometimes hazy sometimes clear nothing changed as i stood there so i decided to start moving i walked and walked and walked some more and the only thing that surrounded me was fog after a long time of mindless walking i heard a sound so i started walking towered it in my hazy state, the sound was not clear This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. as i moved closer the sound got clearer it seemed to be a heart beat, a steady and strong heartbeat full of vitality i continued walking and finally i saw it, it was a big egg full of inscriptions, the heart beat sound came from the egg, and it gave out visible waves of light at a time icy blue like a frozen planet and another warm reddish gold like a bright sun in synchronization with the heart beat i moved closer and a sudden violent force came forth from the egg that sent me flying through the fog far away from it till i could neither see the egg or hear the heartbeat once again i was stranded in the fog with no end of it in sight so i resumed my walking in search of that egg again i walked for what felt like years and finally could see some faint light in the distance i was thrilled to see some change once more in this god forsaken place so i headed their and as i grew closer the light became brighter and brighter the light this time was an electric blue mixed with a metallic grey, from time to time it would discharge electricity , and as i was near it i could see in the center of the light a lot of complicated symbols and circuits intertwined with each other in a strange and complimentary way i was curious and mindlessly tried to touch it but then "*bzzt**bzzt*sti..*bzzt*..still...*bzzt*..not..*bzzt*..time*bzzt*" then a burst of light and electricity burst out of the core and i was blasted awake ***out of the dream(mind) world(scape)*** i suddenly woke up with a startle sweating bullets, ''what weird dream what was that ? the more i try to remember the more hazy the dream is, i can only remember the fog, fog and more fog'' i thought "that was one weird fucking dream, i can''t really remember shit beside fog now, so just fuck it, who cares" i said to my self before noticing that it was already close to sun set, it seems that i was very tired on my first day of training and jumped to my feet only to notice that my fatigue reduced by half, and was good to go so i started jogging home while thinking ''this world sure is great the people have such a strong stamina, it should be the effects of EE on the inhabitants of this world'' i thought to myself, not aware that even though people have a much better physic and genetics than earthlings of my previous life, it is note to the point of reducing the fatigue by half after a nap, that i was one of the exceptions but that is another topic for another time when i reached home the sun began to set, so i escaped a scolding or so i thought, i made it home in time but i was dirty as soon as my mom saw my state she immediately scolded me saying with a death glare "young man, you better go wash yourself before i get angry,otherwise you would sleep with an empty stomach" so i followed my superior officers orders before i was sanctioned by martial law ''god that woman could get really scary sometimes*sigh*''i thought to my self after cleaning myself i quickly got back had dinner and stayed with the family doing what we always did, everyone told us how passed his day, and father told us some stories of his youth when he was part of the army till we got to bed chapter 4 in the next few months i followed the same routine, and improved very fast, i increased the amount of laps around the house, but i just left the strength building exercises as is i was too afraid of injuring my self, so i opted to build a strong cardio vascular system instead and also added flexibility exercises, my family found it funny and thought that it was just a kid playing but when they tried to imitate me they found it too hard and just gave up, they were unaware of the hidden benefits a good flexibility would give someone in a fight another thing i added to my routine was swimming, this kind of exercise is the most beneficial to me, after these few months of training i felt that swimming was the best out of all the types training i did, not only it improved my strength, it gave me streamlined body shape, as all my muscles were used while swimming and it added to my stamina i also enjoyed diving in the lake upstream of the nearby river where we go fetch water, it also helped that the fish were abundant and friendly, i would always race them underwater, and always end up loosing badly i dare say no one apart from adults(and fish) could best me under water, i was a fast swimmer even if i could not catch fish underwater but with the use of a sharp stick i learn to catch some in the river near the shallow waters as for those in the lake that was just pipe dream for now when i am done with my training/playing, i would have a fish or two for lunch and then get my wooden sword and continue training so that i would hone my skills with the sword, i would practice a move 100 times and then go on to the next move and then restart the routine once again i did this training everyday and now i am over 5 years old, my body changed a lot, most of my baby fat is gone and my figure is skinny(not bony) with a little muscle, but in each of these muscles a good amount of force is hidden. as i was growing older i felt lonely, i may be reincarnated, but my body is still that of a child and i always get this urge to have fun and play and i can''t keep suppressing this urge anymore so i decided to go into the village and interact with other kids my age of course this is not the only reason why, in this world that is ruled by strength, may own strength is important but having an extra pair of hands helping you won''t be bad either especially if groomed from young, plus they will be more loyal talent is important but who would care about such a thing right now, i have no way of testing the talent of the kids in this village, but it would be better to have subordinates than to have none If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. if i nurture their fighting skills right now, those who have talent in cultivation would be nice, as for those who are not as talented in the field of cultivation, may be able to train those that are talented in the future, so i loose nothing, it could be called a virtuous cycle plus the world is not only about training, if we only think in that aspect, it will become the perfect example of brawn with no brain, the world does not only need warriors, there have to be farmers, teachers, scientists and other professions, if we take my previous world as an example, although there was not that much development in the individual strength of a person, when a lot of people combined their strength, knowledge and capabilities, they could create miracles like guns, cars, phones and THE INTERNET and so much more, just imagine if those geniuses could live more and be wilder in their experiments, if those people could have access to a miraculous source such as EE if people could fly in outer space with their own body using EE, what could they do with it using other means, an infinite source of energy and possibilities, if EE could give birth to such a marvelous world why wouldn''t it give birth to materials that are able to traverse the outer space, maybe there are other humans or alien species out there (foreshadowing maybe) the only thing i can do now is to dream, but once i get in touch of the EE i will be able to do more, maybe conquering this world would not just be a dream, i may even be able to restore my past world civilization and surpass it, but lets not jump too much and take it step by step anyway i may have not introduced the village to you guys before, but it is quite unique in its structure,it is like a central hub surrounded with many farmlands you could call the central hub the main village, it surrounded by a large wooden wall and only artisans and merchants live in it as for the farmers, each one live in his own land and farm it, and once his crops are ready he round them up and go sell it in the village either to the merchants or directly to the clients by setting a stall, same for hunters the live in the outer perimeter of the forest so as to make it easy to hunt when farmers and hunters need something like salt or something else they would buy it from merchant, when they need to repair or make tools they go to the forger, there is also a healer; a doctor of some sort, fuck there is even a brothel and an inn(bar) so now i think that you understood why i call it the central hub absorbed in my inner thoughts and fantasies, i didn''t notice the danger approaching chapter 5 i really wasn''t ready for the ambush, it was too sudden and i wasn''t paying attention, lost in my inner thoughts as i was moving across the dirt road, i passed by a house and all of a sudden i was held from behind my mouth covered and thrown behind said house i looked to my surroundings confused and a little bit afraid, only to be greeted by a bunch of kids around my age not older than 8 years old, with the eldest at the front staring at me in a menacing way while some of the others were surrounding me as a mean to hold me from escaping "Arowen, today is your lucky day, this young master here is gracing you with my presence so you should become my subordinate and i will take good care of you, else*hold his fist while cracking them*"the eldest said if i remember correctly, tiger is the grandson of the village chief, he was named after the spirit of the village chief which is the saw-tooth tiger, his father didn''t awaken any spirit and the village chief was disappointed with his son, so when his grandson was born he decided to name him tiger so as to bring good luck in the hope that he will awaken a spirit as well and as luck would have it, this grandson of his really did awaken a tiger spirit, the horned tiger; the spirit is twice as large as a normal tiger with bull like horns coming from behind its ears pointing forward i was really surprised at his statement, it really was out of my expectations, but totally in line with my plans, a king is not one with no subjects to rule over and a general is not one with no soldiers to command there are around 15 kids present which is not a lot, but it is not little either, if they are brought up well, even if they lack spirits they could be a good foundation for my future so i decided that this will be the first batch of my recruits "so tell this young master if you are joining, or do you want to be roughed up a little bit before yielding ??" it seems that i was lost in mu thoughts too long and tiger is getting a little impatient as he is heading toward me holding his fist ready to punch me who just got to my feet "STOP!!" i yelled at him and stop he did looking at me confused "why should i become your subordinate, i am smarter and stronger than you, so you should be my subordinate" i stated loudly the other kids and tiger stared at me for a few seconds in shock before laughing while saying things like "... too full of himself" "... arrogant ..." "... tiger is the strongest ..." "...he awakened the tiger spirit..." they said a bunch of words to either put me down or hold tiger up high, but then raised his hand up to make them stop and said to me "your looking for a beating" while moving slowly towards me and a very faint outline of a horned tiger appeared above him barely noticable i held my ground and said to him taunting him at the end with a sneer and mocking smile "you don''t believe me? then how about we make a bet or are you afraid of loosing" "whose afraid of whom , i am the great tiger, no one can beat me" it seems that my taunting worked pretty well, after all he is just a kid his fat round face all red he yelled back at me "what do you want to bet" i smiled at his reaction and told him "if you win i will obey your orders as a subordinate of yours, but if you loose*dramatic silence* you and every one present here will become my subordinates and obey every single thing i say to you, if i say jump you jump, if i say bark like a dog you do it,*another dramatic silence while i pass my eyes over the kids*all of you" i really felt myself to be cool at this instance The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. there was a little silence before everyone got angry and started hurling the best insults my way, i say insults but they are kids so their cussing vocabulary was very limited to things like scum, villain, meany, worm which is not that impressive and when they run off of insults they stared at tiger telling him things like "get him tiger" "beat him up" "punch him in the face" "punch him" "kick him in the balls"that would be painful and cruel coming from a kid so i paid special attention to this guy specifically, he needs some special care from me hearing the cheers from his surroundings tiger got more proud and puffed his chest saying "leave it to me" forgetting his previous anger and showering in the praise, till i reminded him "so you dare or not, heheh" "dare?? i double dare, prepare yourself for a beating" the kids made a ring for us to fight and tigers fat frame shot quickly towards me, which surprised me as his speed and fat figure are mismatched, but that was just a thought as i got ready for the fight, left leg forward right leg behind in a balance while my trunk slightly rotated, left hand forward in front of my nose and the right close to my chest in position i observed as tiger came rushing at me his right fist clenched and ready for a straight punch, the kid is easy to read as he got close i made a step forward to my left, pushing his right outstretched with my left hand getting close to him with a right elbow to the face the poor kid didn''t see it comming as i smashed his nose with my elbow, lucklily for him his nose didn''t breack, but it was bleeding and he fell to the ground disoriented i didn''t let him of easily, while he was clenching his face with his hands on the ground bleeding and crying, i sat on his chest and kept hitting him in the face, and after i felt it was okey i stopped and told "you yield or not?" still ready to continue my pummeling he said that he yielded but i wasn''t satisfied so i gave him another punch and said "i didn''t hear you, yield or not?" he yelled with all his strength amidst the blood, snot and tears "i yield, i yield, for now on i am your subordinate" only now did i leave him be, stood up and looked at the others and yelled "you yield or not ??" most of them started looking at their toes as if something would sprout out of their "you seem to be unconvinced, good" i said to them and run at the closest person to me and gave him a punch in the face the others seemed to be provoked and one of them yelled " get him!!" and they tried to gang up on me thank god my previous training wasn''t for show and i built a good strength,speed, endurance and reflexes so i made short work of these kids with a few slip ups, they got a few hits in as they were too numerous and this body of mine is not used to it, but in the end i got them all in the ground crying with pig faces(meaning their faces were full of bruises for those who didn''t get it)
