Chapter 9 (1/2)
Ch 9 The Beginning of Kurotan’s Training
“shi+t, how long was I asleep?”
Luke stretched after waking up
His face paled the moment he saw Kurotan
“Sh-shi+t”
Kurotan was still running But it seemed that Luke had been asleep for quite a while
“Heeuu, Huuhh”
Kurotan’s complexion was as pale as a white piece of paper and the sound of his breathing al
His legs were spas
Though, Kurotan did not stop running even now
Luke hurriedly hopped off the horse
“Hey, Kurotan You all right?”
Kurotan glanced at Luke with pale, out of focus eyes
“To-Too hard to keep running C-Can I stop now?”
“Stop running and walk slowly It’ll be better in your current state”
“All right”
Kurotan stopped running and began walking Luke walked over to Kurotan with a flask of water, untying the rope from the reins on the horse
White traces of salt that were formed from a massive amount of dried sweat covered Kurotan’s face
“Drink only a bit, you’ll get sick if you chug down a lot of water at once”
Kurotan followed Luke’s advice after refraining hi the whole flask down his throat
Kurotan’s face showed signs of recovery after he drank a bit of water
“Enough You can sit and rest”
With Luke’s permission, Kurotan collapsed his ass onto the floor
“Keuu, the training methods of humans are pretty da could be this painful when I was an Orc”
Luke etic expression at Kurotan’s complaint If Luke hadn’t fallen asleep, he would have stopped Kurotan fro by the position of the sun, Kurotan had probably been running for two hours
‘I have to give it to hiot both stubbornness and perseverance’
Luke clucked his tongue and headed towards the supply bag on the horse’s saddle
“It’s tiry?”
As soon as the words left Luke’s ree
“Kurotan, hungry”
“All right, just give me a minute”
Luke had taken out some dried jerky and bread Kurotan’s eyes shone as soon as he saw the jerky However, when he reached for it, Luke didn’t give it to him that easily
“You re a stomachache after the last meal?”
“I-I remember”
“If you don’t want another one, cheell”
“Ok”
Kurotan took the jerky and followed Luke’s orders to chew thoroughly After Kurotan had finished a piece of jerky, Luke held out the bread
“You have to get used to bread from now on Just bear it and eat”
Kurotan looked as if he was about to cry as he took the bread His cohter immediately after he took a bite
“It’s better than I thought Tastes sweet”
“Is that so?”
“When I tried bread as an Orc, it tasted disgusting Why does it taste better now?”
“It’s probably because you are a hued as well”
Kurotan finished off the rest of the jerky and bread in the blink of an eye
Even after he had finished, Kurotan turned to stare at the piece of bread that Luke was eating Luke smiled and handed him another piece of bread
“The huive you another piece because you trained hard today”
“Thank you”
Luke watched as Kurotan proceeded to take large bites out of the bread and asked
“Do all Orcs eat as fast as you do?”
“If you don’t eat fast, others will take”
Luke clucked his tongue in disbelief
“I’ you now, do not steal food from other people That is not a humane behavior”
“Humane behavior?”
“Yes, people will definitely swear at you Call you an Orc-like bastard”
Kurotan was puzzled
“What about that is swearing?”
“I suppose that wouldn’t be that insulting from your perspective”
After they had digested their rabbed his sword and stood up
“For exercise, I will teach you swordsmanshi+p”
Kurotan did not seem very enthusiastic
“I use the axe I do not wish to hold such a eapon in my hand”
“Listen well The sword is the foundation of all weapons With a sword, you can chop, stab, or smash Axemanshi+p can be considered an extension of swordsmanshi+p”
Luke pointed at Kurotan’s arms
