Chapter 281 - Daily life (6) (2/2)
Mars felt the slight killing intent from Erio and gave a sigh before he asked
”How's your stomach?”
”It's fine”
”Well then let's get this over with, I have work that needs to be done...”
Mars, followed closely by Erio, walked out into the training yard, soon a group of local graduates gathered along with some soldiers from the NNE. Mars stretched a little before he snapped his fingers and the adamantite broadsword appeared in a flash of light before he grabbed it and stood ready
”Ready when you are”
Erio gave a confident smile and drew her longsword before she kicked off the ground and slashed out at Mars...
Mars gave a sigh as he looked at the battered and bruised Erio that sat on the ground with empty eyes, he had spent the last 2 hours beating her up, even right from the start she had been beaten badly but she refused to give up calling it a fluke. But now it seemed like he had finally broke her spirit
”Well then... I have work to do so I won't play with you anymore”
Mars shouldered the broadsword and walked off back to his office and started with his work again, as for caring about Erio he left that to the soldiers from the NNE, in fact he had debated killing her off to save himself of future troubles since she showed killing intent towards him and all, but alas he gave up the idea as he wanted to maintain a good relationship with the NNE (at least on the surface)
”Oh well... I guess that served as a good workout at the least”
Mars went back to his work and spent the rest of the day working without any further disactions...
The next day Mars woke up to something.... Unexpected
”Well then... What to do about this...”
He confirmed once again that the person he was feeling at the edge of his perception was really there once more before he gave a sigh
”Better go meet him...”
Mars got out of bed and got dressed before he flew off into the wasteland, after flying about 200 kilometers he landed in front of a trading convoy which was a little wary of him
'there you are...'
Mars walked over to one of the escorts and called out
”Hey little brother”
”Hmm..? M-Mars!?”
it was Terry, Mars looked him over and found he looked a lot more mature since he had seen him last, but besides that there was also something else
”...What happened to your eye Terry?”
Terry raised his hand and held it over his left eye which was dull and gave a sigh
”It's my punishment... From the administrator”
Mars gave a nod and walked over before he patted Terry on the shoulder and spoke
”Don't worry I'll kick his butt one of these days”
”...Thanks, give him a kick from me too while you're at it”
”I will... Do you know what happened with the others?”
Terry gave a nod and spoke
”Hel lost her dear and comitted suicide, while Tatiana lost her arms”
Mars gritted his teeth before he spoke
”That f.u.c.ker...”
While Mars and Terry was speaking Mel walked over and stood next to Terry, Mars remembered her as a sky person that had become Terry's slave during the invasion, she had lost her right arm during the final battle for the portal which Mars was in the progress of healing when he was thrown to the ends of Alfan so now she still missed her hand but she seemed to have gotten used to it
”Hey Mars”
”Hello Mel”
Terry gave a smile and asked Mars
”So how are you doing right now Mars?”
”I am fine, conquered a fine little city for myself not far from here actually, so now I am the governor of Ular”
Terry looked a little surprised before he gave a nod
”That's where we are headed right now... Let's have a drink when we arrive”
”Sure, I'll treat you two”
