Chapter 31 (2/2)
”Haha, it seems that you are quite sharp Well, it wouldn't matter if the other fiefdom did not object, but we are on quite bad terms with Tarpan Barony”
”I don't think that would be the problem”
Luke bared his teeth in a s his face with food
”I ahted in the Sith E a martial tournament”
Viscount Nigel and Angela lit up at Luke's words
”Oh, could it be true?”
”Yes, ht's identification as well, so it shouldn't be a probleht's competition Also, he may be my vassal…”
Luke trailed off before s
”Kurotan is even s, but he is a born fighter”
Angela opened her mouth carefully
”Could it be possible that you could send hiht's cohts, but we have not been able to find the fifth member”
”Well, it's possible But…”
Luke once again trailed off, looking reluctant
”I would ask for aht not look like it, but he is an aura expert capable of increasing his physical strength through aura”
”Ohh! Is it true?”
The Viscount jumped up from his seat, unable to contain his excitement
”You may test him if you wish, but it is true”
”You do not have to worry about the compensation if that is true I will spare no funds in order to win this competition”
”Thank you for your understanding, , and my pockets…”
Kurotan continued to stuff his face, oblivious to the conversation that centered on him
Viscount Nigel forewent the process of testing Kurotan He had chosen to believe his daughter's testiht, and how he had easily dispatched three knights
”The knight's competition is in ten days Please, make sure you rest fully You will have servants, of course”
”Thank you for your generosity, lord”
The rooms provided by the lord was luxurious A very full Kurotan sank into bed
”The cushi+oning on this bed is as”
”Kurotan, you're a human too, now”
”I'm still not used to it Anyway…”
An evil smile from Kurotan
”It's your turn”
Luke shuddered slightly as Kurotan slowly made a fist
”It's true that it's ht now”
”Why not?”
”You stupid bastard We have to finish the knight's competition and receive the reward froht now”
”Is that so?”
”We can carry out the tribal ritual in ten days, after we've purchased healing potions with the prize money”
”Well, I guess that works”
Kurotan continued to roll around in bed, when he suddenly asked Luke
”What the hell is this knight's competition, anyway?”
”Hm, how should I explain this to you? When you were an orc, there were conflicts between tribes, right?”
”Of course”
”How did you guys resolve the conflicts?”
”Siht until the warriors of one tribe were all dead”
”You siht's competitions happen to prevent exactly that Each tribe is picking out five warriors to fight, and the first side to win three times is the winner of the conflict”
”I see I understand”
”Our opponents will be from a small Barony, so I am not that worried You will be able to win easily”
”That's a pity I was hoping for a strong opponent”
Luke stared blankly at Kurotan before s the hilt of his sword
”Well, that was a good meal Do you want to duel? It'll be closer than before, since I've become an aura expert”
Kurotan did not seeued
”It's not very fun to fight a hatchling that has just learned to control his aura…”
”You stupid bastard Won't that change when I've beco yourself by training me”
”Keung, I guess that ht, let's have at it”
”I've already checked the location of a training field, follow me”
A few apprentice knights were already at the training field, sweating profusely
Luke and Kurotan walked towards an unoccupied field, wearing chain armor
Luke frowned slightly as he raised his sword
”It seems that I'm still not able to control my aura easily”
”You think that's so you can accomplish in a few days?”
”Isn't there a quicker way, though?”
Kurotan bared his teeth in a smile
”Yes there is That's to battle until you drop to the ground”
”Goddammit…”
Luke cursed, kicking the ground and shooting off towards Kurotan in a blur
