21 The Truth about Yren Lorren (1/2)
After Rainer's 'death', Alisha had lost all desire to live.
She was so hopeless that she was able to see her young master approach slowly to her, it seemed that he was calling her...
”Don't worry... young master... I'll accompany you right now...” She said as she wiped her tears.
Without Rainer, she had no one left in her world, after his ' death ', she was no longer willing to live in suffering.
The illusion was so real that she was able to feel his warmth and his smell...
When she was about to throw herself at the illusion, it hit her head and it said:
”What the heck are you doing there sobbing nonsense? I've been looking for you and here you are weeping like a child...”Said Rainer as he smiled gladly.
”Young Master! You're alive! Sniff...sniff...”
Shouted Alisha as she jumped toward him.
”Stop flirting, we have a lot of work to do...”
Said Wolfang as he frowned at a scene worthy of a soap opera.
”I was just going to tell her that I'll be absent during the days previous to the tournament... Who's flirting?”
He said in astonishment
”Since you have so much free time to flirt, I'm going to increase your training intensity, don't expect to get away unscathed...”
”...”
”Please be gentle on me, it's my first time...training”
He said to Wolfang with a shy tone.
”I'm rethinking what I think about you, I don't know if you're really the right one...”.
He replied with a dismissive glance.
...
*Bam*Bam*
Punch after punch landed on Rainer's body, who couldn't follow Wolfang's assaults.The noise of fists hitting soft flesh was audible throughout the room.
Rainer and Wolfang were under the clan's quarters, in the personal cultivation chamber of the Ancestor.
The walls seemed to be covered with a particularly hard substance, since not even the Ancestor's blows left a mark on them, there were mural paintings portraying hunting scenes involving magical beasts.
A massacre atmosphere was breathed through the air, it seemed that just standing in this room encouraged you to fight until you were exhausted.
He had been training under the teachings of the Ancestor for three days,Wolfang told him that the best way to strengthen himself was by gaining more practice in life or death battles where one's instincts were able to work beyond their limits.
Rainer thought that it would be a very conventional training after the chatter of transcending limitations by fighting,but he did not know what awaited for him.On a daily basis he had to fight Wolfang, although the fights could be summed up in a unilateral beating to Rainer by Wolfang.
Lerna was also not far behind, while Rainer was being beaten, she was forced to eat numerous poisonous herbs of unusual colors, as well as fight against magical beasts that Wolfang had captured from the Mist Woods.
...
”Hu...hu...hu...”
Rainer was lying on the ground after being beaten by Wolfang, beside him, Lerna remained rigid as a stick while she tossed foam through her mouth.Such a scene was very frequent after she had eaten the rare herbs prepared by Wolfang.
...
”Why are you helping me?” Asked Rainer as he was resting on the floor.
