20 Chapter 20: Resources, What Resources? (2/2)

'[In this world, as a method to gain mutual trust, people swear a vow using either magic or battle force as a binding. If one breaks his part of the vow, they will be stripped of their magic or battle force]'

With things clear now, Ned brought his head up to meet the old man's eyes and nodded.

”I swear on my magic, that I'll keep what The young Ned will tell or show me, in between us those in here” he said and his body glowed for a bit before it settled. Lori did the same, and once she was done Ned took off his mask.

”I'm guessing you don't know how to shave haha” the first thing the old man noticed was his unkempt beard.

While Lori's eyes widened a bit while internally saying' He is quite good looking, coupled with his strong body he will surly be quite popular with the girls'

”Old man I spent a year in the forest with nothing but my katana, what do you think I should shave with? Ah?” Ned exclaimed, and now both the old man and Lori could see the annoyed look on his face.

”Haha I was just joking young Ned, don't worry you will surely be able to trap a couple young maidens with your look” Alaster said not minding the glare he was getting from Lori.

Ned when he heard that was not even bothering about it but he just smiled on the outside. He wasn't a fan of the love based on your looks, he wanted genuine love.

”Well young Ned, thank you for showing us your face, but I want to ask you, are you a twin path, I can feel mana in your heart and in your body.” The old man said and seeing Ned nod his head continued ”I am a rank 8 expert swordsman, and one of my old friends is also a twin path like you, would you like me to tell him to take you as his disciple and train you?” Ned could see the sadness in his eyes when he talked about him being the disciple of his friend.

And he was surprised that this old man was one of the two old men from the kingdom who reached rank 8.

”No, but thank you. I'm not searching for a master to train me. I can train by myself just like I always did.”

”What, stop saying nonsense how can you train by yourself, not to mention you said you came from a village, what resources could be there in the mountains for you to train with?” without even leaving time for Alaster to speak Lori told him.

”Resources, what resources would you need to train your body and mind? I just lifted weights using rocks and trees, as for my mind I have just meditated at night, and now here I am after that.” Ned said. Since they already swore a vow he wasn't going to hold information from a rank 8.

Now even the old man was a bit shocked looking at Ned as he said ” My boy don't you know, that to train everyday you would need, stuff like a stamina potion, muscles regeneration potion, enlightenment potion and so on, are you saying that you reached where you are right now not using any of that?”

Ned was perplexed and it showed up on his face, as the both of them felt even more shocked.
