Chapter 729 (2/2)

“What’s that got to do with us?”

Ruby was so angry that his nose became twisted. He felt that talking to this idiot was a waste of time and decided to beat him up with his fists. The poor fellow cried out in pain as he received blow after blow, and eventually, his face became purple and swollen.

“I’m not like those nice teachers in school who will talk sense to you. I don’t really care about that. I’m a barbarian. I only use violence to solve problems,” Ruby said coldly and shook his fist at the pig head, who stared at him with hatred in his eyes.

“Very good. If I hear you shout like this again, I’ll beat you up with a stick,” Ruby concluded as he glared back at the pig head before walking away.

In the two months of training, Ruby as veteran received the approval of his mentors and peers alike, and he had been elected as their team leader. As their team leader, he needed to lead his team to recon at the campsite, as well as settle many other administrative matters. He did not have time to waste.

After Ruby had left, Hopes sighed and walked over to the pig head who was lying on the ground. A beam of green light shot out of his hands and landed onto the pig head’s body.

“Fira, you know that Ruby is easily needled. Why did you want to provoke him? It’s not worth getting beat up for…”

“I’ll return the favor… someday…”

“It was just a small matter. Don’t hold on to this grudge.”

“I’ll get my revenge!”

“It’s not so serious! Furthermore, you’re a chef. How are you going to take revenge on him?”

“Someday…”

Under the healing effect of natural spells, the injuries of the pig head Fira quickly improved. In a short while, there was only a faint trace of a bruise. Fira thanked Hopes, got up and walked away.

Fira was a Shantou Qing who had got off on the wrong foot with Ruby during training. Afterward, they had argued with each other and even fought. Of course, Fira was unable to physically defeat Ruby and got a severe beating which he swore never to forget. Over this incident, he constantly chose to irritate Ruby and each time he did so, he earned himself a beating but somehow did not know to change or back down.

Hopes was a kind and warm soul who knew a little of natural magic. Thus, every time Fira got beaten up, Hopes would help to heal him. With the many incidents, he managed to improve his skills while forging a friendship with Fira.

Fira was more socially awkward and extremely stubborn. Even with Hopes’ constant nagging, he refused to change in his actions towards Ruby.

Seeing as Fira and Ruby had gone their own ways, Hopes sighed in relief.

I really don’t understand the mining center; why did they insist on letting Fira join the expedition? The existence of tensions is extremely distracting!
