21 The Real Training Begins (1/2)

[one week later]

Shen sat in the middle of his bedroom and practiced after the timer was up he checked his stats while he stretched his arms over his head.

[Energy 400/400.]

[Health 200/200.]

[iron body level 3.]

He looked at his stats and couldn't complain.

\”I wish I had more time to better prepare myself for the hunt but I'll take what I can get\” He sighed.

Shen wanted to be sure he could match the beasts that he was about to face but as fate would have it today is the day they are arriving to port, 'guess I'll have to make do with what I got'

\”Well might as well go ask the Aceton about the time of arrival we will arrive\” Shen shrugged and left the room.

*****

Aceton was in his throne room solving the kingdoms daily problems and preparing to arrive at the port, when his advisor came up to him and whispered in his ear

\”Is it true? \” Aceton raised his eyebrow

The advisor nodded

\”I see\” Aceton put his hands together with a serious expression on his face.

\”I'll tell Shen before we arrive,\” Aceton said with a grim expression.

\”I'd advise against it, your majesty. He may be a threat to our secrecy and give something away to the enemy!\”

Aceton remained silent for a moment before answering \”Very well, We will keep this from him for the time being\”

\”Very well your majesty!\” The advisor bowed and walked away

Aceton sat there silent.

The advisor smiled sinisterly after turning the corner and pulled out a crystal and spoke into it \” The fish took the bait\”

\”Good..\” A voice answered from the other side.

The advisor continued to speak \”I think we could-\”

*****

Shen was about to enter the throne room when he was bumped into by a man in a blue cloak who dropped a weird cristal when they collided

\”You idiot! Watch where you're going- \” The advisor began to scold whoever ran into him

but stopped when he noticed it was the king's guest.

\”Oh I'm sorry\” Shen said, putting a hand behind his head.

\”O-Oh it's nothing forget about it,\” the advisor said waving his hand

\”Oh it seems you dropped something let me get it for you\” Shen got down on a knee and picked up the crystal which was cracked in half \”Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to break your crystal thing.\” Shen bowed while apologizing.

The advisor's face went pale from the sight and felt a sharp pain in his chest
