Chapter 63 daily life and the hunt in Malrton 6 (2/2)
Mars looked up at his dad and saw he had a stern face while both of them followed after the man into the building and after a while both off them ended up in front off a door where the Man gave another salute and left
”dad?”
Mars's dad broke his stern face and keeled down and rubbed his son on the head and said in a calm tone
”don't worry son, both me and your mother will always love you”
Mars sprung up in the bed, outside the first signs off the morning sun could be seen as the sky gradually turned bright
”I see, so my parents loved me...”
Mars felt happy and sad at the same time and wiped his face where a tears had been streaming down before he got out of bed and put on his clothes and grabbed his sword, the documents he had obtained yesterday and went down to the training field where he sat down next to the sack which had made a small bloody lake around it and started to meditate while he waited for the 4 knights and Hanna to show up, and soon Mars heard one set off footsteps that stopped at the edge off the field and sat down
”good morning Mars”
”'morning Hanna...”
”erm... what's in the sack... the one that's bleeding?”
”it's a gift for your dad, could you go get him for me?”
”sure...”
Hanna stood up and left the field and a few minutes later Mars noticed 2 sets off footsteps approached the field one off them gave a yawn
”what is it Mars, Hanna said you had a gift for me?”
Mars's eyes snapped open before he stood up and picked up the sack that was still dripping blood in one hand and the documents in the other and faced Reimund
”yes I do, I have in fact 2 gifts for you”
Reimund narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the sack dripping blood, but he remained silent as Mars continued
”last night I was on a outing when a group off the 8 head assassins attacked me, afterwards I sought out you for permission to wipe out the outpost off the 8 heads in town which you gave me right?”
”yeah I did...”
Reimund still looked puzzled but Mars gave a wide smile and raised the bleeding sack slightly
”what you don't know is that after I revived permission I attacked and wiped out the outpost here in Malrton and now I bring you 2 gifts... one is the 'head' of the outpost and the other is the documents that was in his office”
Shock appeared on Reimund's face as he looked first at the sack then at Mars and then at the documents before he calmed down with a sigh
”...good job Mars, I will see if I can get a bounty for you... also if you endanger my daughter again I will throw you out”
”what?”
”you heard me”
”SIR, YES SIR!”
”very good”
Reimund took both the documents and the sack and left Mars and Hanna alone on the field where Hanna asked
”what are today's training?”
Mars gave a smile and went over to a rack with training equipment where he picked out 2 wooden swords and threw one off them too Hanna while he asked
”how's your swordsmanship?”
”...this is the first time I'm holding a sword”
”oh... don't they have sword training at the academy?”
Hanna gave a look of disbelief before she gave a sigh
”no, it's called Destra's magic academy for a reason...”
”oh... I see, then do you have any interest?”
”no, not really...”
”okay, then hit me with your sword as a start”
”...really?”
”really”
”okay then here I go”
Hanna raised her wooden sword and brought it down on Mars with clumsily movements that Mars quickly sidestepped
”slow and clumsy, grab the hilt properly!”
”y-yes!”
Hanna brought the sword up again and gave a slow slash at Mars which he effortlessly dodged again
”slow! again”
”yes!”
Hanna's sword continued to hit air for the next few minutes but Mars was astonished as her speed off improvement was fast
'she's gripping it nicely now, her stance is better and her sword is almost double the speed...'
Mars looked at Hanna and decided to put a lot more sword training in the future training program
