Chapter 130 Journey to the wasteland 3 (1/2)
As Mars stood ready he took the change to inspect Michele, she had back-length black hair that was tied up in a ponytail and blue eyes
”are you ready little kitten?”
Michele's eye twitched slightly as she silently drew her sword and stood ready, if looks could kill Mars would have died several times already
”I am”
”good then... Max give a signal”
”oh good grief, fine... 3,2,1 start!”
as soon as Max gave the start signal Michele kicked off the ground and sent a overhead slash down at Mars which he hurriedly parried with a slightly panicked expression on his face
”t-this kitten has claws!”
Mars went on the defensive as Michele sent slash after slash at his vital spots, Mars' deference was in Michele's eyes and she found numerous flaws which she exploited, but somehow Mars' sword would always stop hers in the last second before she had a change to slay him with her sword
'I can do this!'
just as Michele thought this Mars suddenly took some distance and looked at her with a teasing look on his face and asked
”how was it?”
”how was what?”
”me pretending to be on your level”
”wha---”
Michele tried to speak but realized she was unable to as a pure white bone sword had suddenly appeared at her neck along with a frightening amount of killing intent which made her freeze up, with a clang something hit the floor, Michele only realized later that it was her sword which she had dropped instinctively to try and perverse her own life
”and that's that little kitten”
Mars sheathed his sword again and walked away from Michele that still was frozen in place
”let's head back to the academy teacher”
”sure thing Mars...”
Max took one last pitying look at Michele before he stepped into the portal Mars had opened, even after the portal closed with both Max and Mars gone did Michele not move for a long time...
At the academy Mars steeped out of the portal which closed after him, then he went to find Chloe and Varvei which he found sitting outside the cafeteria at a table along with Joy and Karen, when Joy saw him her face lit up and so did Karen's this odd reaction caused Mars to be a little confused so he asked
”what were you girls talking about?”
”secret, right Chloe?”
”yeah just some girls talk, never mind that what did Max want to talk with you about?”
”well it's kind of a long story...”
Mars sat down and told the girls what the king had asked of him and so on, including the duel with Michele which he skimmed over without telling any of the details
”so what you just have to fetch that princess?”
”seems simple right?”
”well not really, how do you plan to find her? what's your travel plan? and how do you convince her to enter a unknown portal conjured by a stranger?”
”....those are some very good questions Chloe”
”well I can give you some more if you want”
”....I see, well as for how I'm going to get there i'm going to use this”
Mars showed his steel mercenary tag
”what do you mean?”
”well even though they are hostile to outsiders trade still goes on, so I'm thinking of tagging along with a trade caravan”
”I see... that's a okay plan, but say you get there in one piece then what?”
”hmm... I'll just wing it from there”
Chloe and Varvei both gave a sigh, Varvei massaged her temples and asked
”why is it your so set on going?”
Mars gave a bright smile
”because it seems interesting”
”oh for the love of all that is holy...”
both Chloe and Varvei seemed to get a sudden headache, suddenly Varvei stood up and stared into Mars' eyes with a angry look on her face
”I'm coming too”
Chloe also raised her hand
”me too, I'm going too”
”fine the more the more fun it's going to be... bu there's a problem, you girls don't have mercenary tags right?”
Varvei gave a proud, slightly arrogant look
”that's easy, it's just a mercenary tag how hard can it be?”
”...”
”me too, I can get a mercenary tag easily too!”
”...fine”
””yay!””
”let's head home, I have a sneaking suspicion a third person wants to join in on the fun too”
”okay, see you Joy, Karen”
”bye bye”
”see you Chloe, Varvei”
Mars opened a portal which Chloe and Varvei stepped through Victoria also appeared out of nowhere and jumped though...
”I want to go too!”
”I thought so...”
