Chapter 112: Getting Angry (1/2)

Novis was laid flat out on his bed, slowly closing his eyes. For some reason, he had trouble sleeping more than usual today. Most likely due to all the excitement he had. He couldn't stop thinking about everything that had happened and the new skill he was going to learn.

After struggling to sleep for 30 minutes, eventually, he had finally shut his eyes. He was once again in the open green field with the slightly tall grass and clear blue skies. It was a peaceful place and Novis wondered if it was a place that originally belonged in Arthur's world, he thought about bringing it up but Novis was always too shy to ask.

Standing in front of him was Arthur and George who both had their weapons ready held in their hands.

”How are we going to do this then?” Novis asked.

”I think it should be simple right, we just have to make you angry,” George said with a sinister smile.

Suddenly, Before Novis could even react the two of them started to attack Novis out of nowhere. Novis dodged the first two attacks and then thought of his duel swords making them appear in his hands.

”What the hell are you doing! ” Novis shouted.

”That's it Novis get angrier!” George said as he started to laugh like a madman going to attack Novis.

Again, Novis managed to block George's strike but then both of his hands were tied up and he was unable to block Arthurs, causing him to be hit. Of course, Arthur and George were holding back with their speed and power just enough so Novis would feel over pressured.

They continued to do this to Novis hoping they would be able to spark something out of him but after doing this for over an hour it seemed like they were no results.

”Stop it,” Novis said, ”it's clearly not working.”

George and Arthur put their swords away.

”Your right? Dam I really thought this would work.” George said, ”What about you Arthur, do you have any other ideas?”

Arthur thought about it for a while before answering.

”it seems like Novis is not the type of Berserker to get stronger by getting hurt or angry when in battle.” Arthur then started to walk closer towards Novis as he looked through his memories. ”Novis, when you were fighting Frank why did you act like that?”

”Why, well he was trying to hurt Scarlett of course.” Then Novis realized just thinking about that suddenly was making him a little mad.

”Was there anything else though?” Arthur asked.

”It was because of what had just happened.” Novis replied, ”I saw Scarlett nearly getting hurt again, last time I couldn't do anything but I didn't want that it to happen again. I wanted to use everything I could to protect her.”

”That's it!” Geroge shouted. ”That feeling you have right now Novis you need to remember it, that feeling you had back then when you wanted to protect Scarlett, that is your emotional trigger, your anger.”

Novis started to close his eyes and started to think back about the gun being pointed at Scarlett's head, all the feelings he felt at that time. As he continued to think about it his blood started to boil.
