19 White Wolf (1/2)

'Swoosh'

Early in the morning, Kiro was in a half-sleep state. Upon hearing the upcoming wooden shaft, Kiro did not use his bow anymore to deflect the upcoming assault. Instead, he used his brute force to grab the wooden shaft with his right hand.

'Crack'

With his brute force, Kiro crushed the wooden shaft.

”Yawn~ such a pleasant daylight greeting.” Kiro released a morning sigh, while he used the remaining half of the wood shaft to parry the remaining two.

Glancing to the south, Kiro did not detect an impending strike. He subsequently loosened his guard down.

But to his surprise. Old Kyros appeared before him like a ghost, glancing at Kiro with eyes full of wonder.

”Mm, fortunately, you accomplished the first phase of training,” Kyros said while staring at Kiro like he was a rare creature. ”To think you managed to finish the course within two weeks is not a simple feat.” He could not help to appreciate Kiro's effort. With Kiro's unyielding perseverance, he successfully managed to finish Kyros' first stage of training. It was all thanks to his stubborn personality.

”Congratulations! Now you are deemed to enter the ranking of the Adventurers, but young lad, your speed of growth is something that even this old man hasn't seen in the past few decades of living.”

”... Kiro, can you tell me the truth? Are perhaps the chosen person?” Kyros' stated. His theory wasn't far off to the truth. But Kiro wasn't a chosen warrior, he was lucky or unluckily has been transported into this world.

”Hm? What are you talking about, Master? Did you lose your head after you kept aiming at me with countless wooden shafts and arrows?” Kiro irritatedly said. After being tormented for two weeks, even Kiro has his own limit.

”What? You surprisingly don't know about the chosen person?” This time Kyros uttered in confusion. It was common knowledge from the church in this world.

”I honestly don't know what Master is talking about.” Kiro did not deny it, but he was still having a cold sweat running on his forehead. After hearing Kyros' statement. Kiro was already mentally prepared that sooner or later Kyros' would find his speed of growth odd.

Staring at Kiro who is completely dumbfounded from his statement. Kyros' could only add more explanation. ”Did you already forget about the ceremony when you were born? After being born into this world. Your parents should have taken you to the church to attain the blessing of the Gods.” Kyros thought for a moment before continuing.

”Well, it was a long-forgotten history. Now the ritual only became a cultural belief. But there was a legend about the chosen person. It was about the blessing of the Gods with the protection of Gods. The chosen person's speed of growth is unheard of even now. I did not believe in such tales, but after seeing you. I suddenly recalled the tale of the chosen person.”

”The chosen person? I highly doubt that, if I were the chosen person, wouldn't the church won't let me go and add me to their banner?” Kiro arbitrarily said. Still, he could believe there was such a thing as a chosen person, and a summoned one. Kiro could not help to grumble inside.

'Are the people of this world were so dependent on a singular person? Well, it is not my affair to meddle with their business.'

”... Oh. That is a reasonable statement. Yup, sorry about that, don't heed this old man blind words.” Kyros said, but deep inside him. He could not help to think otherwise.

Kiro was relieved to hear his words, but before he could loosen his guard down, a sudden strange atmosphere enveloping the entire wilderness.

”AAAWOOO!~”

A mournful howl echoed inside the wilderness.

”Oh... It was sooner than I expected, but it doesn't matter.” Kyros said while facing Kiro solemnly. ”Kiro, this is your chance to show the fruition of your hard labor. In a matter of minutes, the king of this wilderness will appear before you. Be prepared.” Kyros said as his figure disappeared to the thin air.

��Wait, wha-” Before Kiro managed to finish his word, he felt dizzy from the thick killing intent storming toward his place.

”Rooaar!”An immense white figure jumped out through the forest. Its eyes were glittering in red, staring fiercely at Kiro. The expanse of the white wolf was double the size of the silver wolf that Kiro killed last time as he stared at the huge white wolf in front of him. Kiro could sense that this wolf is a formidable adversary. Grabbing his bow tightly, Kiro cautiously took a distance between the two.

But before he could even move to a safe distance, the white bare its fangs and leaped at Kiro.

Kiro has no other choice but to confront the enraged beast in close combat. He took three arrows at the spatial pouch assaulting the white wolf consecutively.

'Bang!' 'Bang!' 'Bang!'

A strong gusty wind blew away the white wolf, but mysteriously the white wolf was unharmed.

”Master, be careful of that white wolf, I think with your current capabilities, it will be hard for Master to easily defeat it.” Fixie stopped for a moment before continuing. ”If Master can, please use the Appraisal Skill to that monster so Master will know its ability.”

Hearing Fixie's proposal, Kiro did not wait and activated the appraisal.

”[Appraisal]!”
