16 Skylar

Ethan came back at camp. When Ethan just entered in the camp some people let voices of gasp out.

"Hey, beast attracter is back" someone said.

"What that beast attracter, I thought he only live in hunting ground and don't like to interact with people." Some asked.

"We also thought that." Someone answered.

Ethan heard these people and let out a sigh 'why people are interested in my matters so much and what's up with new nickname" Ethan thought while walking toward Lucas cell.

Ethan came to Lucas cell. His cell didn't change at all. It was same as he remembered. When he entered in Lucas came toward him with the same big smile on his face.

"Little brother, long time no see." Then Lucas looked at Ethan from head to toe "little brother you become tall, oh your gaze also become sharp. Its mean you did your best in hunting grounds."

Then Lucas frowns his brows a little bit "but little brother, whenever I see you, you looked like a beggar."

"Hahaha, it's all right, I prepared some clothes for you. You must carving for bath right? You can use my bathroom. It was really inconvenient to bath in that stream of hunting ground, right?" Lucas said as he gestured to Ethan to come with him.

Ethan followed him without saying anything. The bathroom of Lucas was also made full of wood like his living room. There was a big bathtub in it which was already filled up with hot water.

"You can take your time there's no rush" Lucas said as he leave Ethan alone.

After taking bath Ethan came back wearing a new set of clothes.

"What is next in training?" Ethan asked to Lucas.

"What you just came back and you still want to train more?" Lucas asked, looking surprised "no no you should rest a little first."

"We will start your training again after 15 days." Lucas said.

"I don't want any rest we have limited time here." Ethan said without any emotion in his voice.

"Little brother, I know that you are physically fit, but what about your mind." Lucas said as he points a finger at the Ethan head "you have been in hunting ground for a year now, it must be nerve wrecking to stay at a place where you don't know when you will be ambushed there."

To tell the truth Ethan was really exhausted mentally he has to fight with a group of beasts everyday. And in night he was not able to sleep properly even a small voice waked him up.

"Ok then I will be back in 15 days" after saying that Ethan leaved Lucas cell.

After coming back to his on the cell which was dark and cold like always. Ethan slept for 2 days straight.

After waking up Ethan was feeling much better than before, He didn't have much to do, so he come to the training ground and start practicing with his new sword that was given by Lucas. Reason because Lucas said that Ethan becomes tall, so naturally he have to get new sword.

Ethan personally doesn't understand that person. Anna is so powerful but he wasn't trying to escape with her but, he is patiently training Ethan. He wondered why?

Ethan was in his thought when some people entered in training ground. It was a public training ground so anyone can enter, unlike private training grounds.

Those people were surrounding Skylar and praising him nonstop.

"Brother, last time you were amazing when you beat that tier 1 beast without any support and you still are unawakened." Someone said.

"Yes, brother you were amazing back there." Someone chimed in.

There was a smile all over the Skylar face because of the praise of people. He was in his world when he bumped into Ethan, who was in deep thought. When Skylar bumps in Ethan, he stumbled back a little and Ethan was still standing in his place.

Ethan looked at the person who bumped into him before giving him way to pass. Skylar face was red with embarrassment when he stumbled back.

When people who came with Skylar saw that Skylar was embarrassed by an unknown kid they start arguing with Ethan.

"Hey kid why you are not apologizing, because you were standing in way our brother bumped in you huh?" a boy said to Ethan.

When Ethan heard this he raised his one eyebrow, it was clearly another person mistake to bump into Ethan, but they are saying that he should apologize for being bumped into that person how funny.

When the person saw that Ethan was not saying anything he become more confident and continue "hurry up, apologize we don't have…"

Before that person can even finish his sentence he was sent flying by Ethan kick as apologize.

When other people saw that Ethan kicked that person without a second thought they became stun.

Skylar who was on the side became enraged instantly when he saw that his person was beaten up In front of him. "Hey, I know he was out of line but should you be like this huh?"

"You people didn't apologize me for bumping in me but instead that person said that I should apologize because you bumped me." Ethan calmly said to the person in front of him. "And you didn't say anything when he was unreasonable, but when I teach him a lesson you came barking toward me?"

When Skylar heard this he became more embarrassed, but he didn't back off but instead he unsheathed his sword and said "I challenge you, if you win I will give you my rank of original ranking."

Ethan said simply "not interested"

People who heard this became stunt. This boy in front of them is letting go the chance to entering in original ranking.

Skylar was also shocked when he heard this. But he still said "then I will force challenge you."

When Skylar said this Ethan ring's screen pop up. The content was 'you have been force challenged by someone. Because your original ranking is lower you can't deny it."

When Ethan reads the content he was puzzled when did he got in original ranking? He thought about the girl he killed last year if he remembered correctly, he saw her in a competition back then. So that's why, he was in original ranking well he didn't care about this.

Ethan also unsheathed his sword and start sparring with Skylar. Ethan didn't go all out because he wanted to go to hunting ground after this. He didn't know what to do these days, so he decided to go back to hunt some beast.

Skylar was fighting with his all might but was not able to suppress Ethan no matter what he tried.

The onlookers were shocked when they saw that Ethan was going head to head with Skylar and able to hold his ground for this long.

Skylar had made a name for himself after entering the original ranking as an unawakened. People thought Skylar was unbeatable in his age, but unexpectedly a kid who was 1 year younger is fighting with Skylar head to head. Really a dark horse they thought. But people didn't know that to reach at this level Ethan has been training bitterly by making his life in danger countless time.

"Hey, that boy doesn't he looked like little killer, right?" someone said.

"Little killer, he dead long time ago I did not see him for quite long time." Someone said

"I also thought so, but it looks like it was not the case." That person said.

Ethan starts annoyed with this stubborn person and was about to give him a lesson when he heard the Lucas' voice "that's enough, both of you."

When Ethan heard the Lucas' voice he stopped attacking, but Skylar continued. He was about to attack when an aura bullet hit on his sword and his sword was sent flying.

When Skylar saw the person who hit his sword he was shocked because that person was his goddess that he admired so much Anna.

"Why are you fighting because of petty things like children, oh I forget you are children hahaha" Lucas and came to Ethan.

"Little brother lets go it's your vacation and you are wasting it by fighting others you should rest more." Lucas then turn toward Skylar "and you it was clearly your mistake so you should apologize instead of making others apologize."

Before Skylar could even respond Lucas left the training ground with Ethan and Anna. Leaving him behind like he was nobody. Skylar was in a rage because of this, but he didn't do anything and only watch Ethan's back with great hatred.
