29.WILLIAN AND KAIL

Willian was walking at the city of Arkas. His plans for the night were very tight in time, but right now, he had free time. Because Karl was playing around at the garden and glancing at Willian´s room with longing eyes, it ended up that Willian had to quickly run away. It couldn´t be helped that he was already exhausted from the reception he was receiving from Karl since the start of his vacation.

“And so, with all that explained, please train with me.”

“…Yesterday I had a match, so I am tired right now though.”

Willian had come Kail´s house, and was now standing at the front of it. Because of how he would only visit Kail sometimes, and because his white hair would stand out, he would wear a wig and a hat. Because the mask would do the opposite effect and stand out too, he wouldn´t wear it.

“Wait a bit. I will sort myself out.”

In the end, Kail had a soft spot for Willian.

“Dzua!”(ヅアッ!)

“Mu!”(むっ!?)

A parade of corpses enveloped Willian. When Kail saw that, he knew. He knew that Willian had understood the monster that was inside him. Willian had understood himself, and now had learned the technique to bring himself to his limits. (TL note: The word used for “parade” here is ->葬列<-, which=”” is=”” actually=”” some=”” kind=”” of=”” “parade”=”” (maybe=”” saying=”” it=”” like=”” that=”” is=”” a=”” bit=”” disrespectful=””>_<) that=”” people=”” do=”” when=”” someone=”” dies.=”” they=”” carry=”” the=”” coffin=”” and=”” walk=”” to=”” the=”” place=”” it=”” is=”” going=”” to=”” be=”” buried.=”” (or=”” maybe=”” where=”” the=”” funeral=”” is=”” going=”” to=”” happen?=”” i=”” don´t=”” remember=””>

“How is it, Kail! I also learned how to do it too!”

The corpses laughed. “Katakatakatakatakatakata…” Both in joy and in displeasure… (TL note: Isn´t there that j.a.panese horror monster that is a long haired girl that gets out of the TV and does that weird noise? Imagine that sound effect there.)

“That´s right. With that, it became even easier to understand it, right?”

Suddenly, a chill. Willian´s skin was full of gooseb.u.mps. And then, the corpses stopped laughing.

“Both of us are now able to clearly see our current limits. Or then, well, something like that.”

Kail let out from his whole body something unimaginable. It was a giant, or better said, a giant warrior. The Willian of right now couldn´t imagine how much training would he need to do, and how much carnage did he need to go through in order to bring forward something as strong as that warrior.

“I will be relying on you to take easy on me.”

“I´ve been doing so all this time though? Skinny-kun.”

By looking at the difference in power they had, it was possible to understand it liking it or not. It was possible to understand the distance he had from Kail as a warrior.

“Daraaah!”(だっらぁぁあああ!)

“Slow, light, weak.”

Recently, Willian had been undefeatable at war, but even so, it didn´t feel like he had even the slightest chance of winning against Kail. Willian was in a situation that he would be sent flying by his humming.

“Ouch, take it a bit easier.”

“I am taking it very easily. Even if you are in that state.”

Willian was all sweaty, and in comparison, Kail didn´t have even a single drop of sweat. The difference between them was experience. Willian´s friend was an existence that was very far further than him as a warrior to the point of it being annoying to him.

“There are only monsters at the coliseum after all.”

“No, I think you are going on the right track. I have said it before, right? I am strong.”

There was a trace of fatigue somewhere in Kail´s words.

“Could it be that you became the champion?”

“No comments. Well, even if I became it, there would be no meaning. Even if I have money, I have no way of using it, and even if I am surrounded by glory, it would be ignored by the people that want part of the glory.”
