Dangerous Plan

"Congratulations sir! You are amazing!" Continued William nodded lightly while releasing a smile full of pride at Kenzo who had won his first battle.

At night, Kenzo opened his eyes wide, and immediately sat up, he wore a slightly surprised expression, feeling a little dizzy, he pressed his head slowly, a bonfire was in front of him, then some grilled meat filled the edge of the bonfire.

"Master you are awake! Please enjoy your meal!" William handed Kenzo the cooked roast beef with a faint smile.

"William, what happened? What about the wolf?" Kenzo asked curiously before he didn't get to see his opponent's condition.

"Master doesn't need to think about it, better check your status now, you might be surprised by the change." William had checked Kenzo's latest status first, but he wasn't too surprised considering the wolf that was defeated by Kenzo was at level 9, while Kenzo is only at level 2. Plus Kenzo has a protective spirit like princess Lucia.

Hearing that, Kenzo narrowed his eyes slightly, of course, he was also curious and quickly opened his status bar.

[Username: Unknown]

[Race: Human]

[Level: 5]

[Exp: 600/750]

[Hp: 200/200]

[Magic Energy: 80]

[Agility: 40]

[Defense: 40]

[Attack: 40]

Seeing his status bar on his first tab made Kenzo's eyes sparkle, he never expected his level to rise so high.

Full of curiosity he immediately shifted the status bar to see another menu in the next tab.

[Protective spirit type: Blue fire devil]

[Spirit level: Unknown]

[Spirit weapon: Locked]

...

[Ability 1: Blue flame wings]

[Ability 2: Healing]

[Ability 3: Locked]

[Ability 4: Locked]

...

Kenzo didn't find any changes to his second status bar, even though he had been expecting a lot.

But even so, with the level increase he got, it was more than enough for him.

"This is amazing, my level went up to 5 levels just for defeating just one beast," Kenzo muttered with eyes sparkling with joy.

"Master, you don't need to be surprised, it is quite natural, considering that you are fighting a beast of a fairly high level, After all, you have also inherited Miss Lucia's power," William said briefly.

"So like that?" Kenzo finally understood, he immediately rose to his feet, clasping his palms vigorously.

"Then this is our chance, I just need to defeat an opponent who has a higher level than me, then my level will rise quickly," Kenzo said as he looked at William intently and expectantly.

Hearing that, William looked a little gloomy, "Sir, I understand your wishes, it's not wrong, but I hope it doesn't happen again, monsters or beasts that are above level 10 have a much different power". Responded William who was worried about Kenzo's plan to fight monsters and beasts that had a higher level than himself.

"Hehe, you mean I will lose to them? Aren't you the first to believe in my abilities, I'm not alone after all, just as you believe in me, I also believe in you, you will protect me, am I wrong?" Said Kenzo while giving a faint smile to William.

Hearing this, William was slightly stunned, he felt very guilty and also stunned by his master's words.

Just because he was too afraid that his master would be hurt, he had unknowingly underestimated his master's abilities, as a bodyguard tasked with protecting his master, he shouldn't say such a thing.

"Sir sorry, I have been negligent, I should not forget my duty as a bodyguard, I am ready to accept punishment." William knelt guiltily.

"Don't overdo it, you are indeed Princess Lucia's bodyguard, but I think of you more as my friend, you know what that means? As friends we have to protect each other, That's one of the reasons I want to quickly level up and become stronger, that way I can also protect you as you've always done to me." Kenzo said seriously while letting out a big smile.

Hearing that, William couldn't utter a word, he glared and gulped his saliva, unable to believe his master's words, how could he who was just a bodyguard become a friend to his master, moreover would gain protection from his own master?

But seeing the full smile of his master, made him truly feel at ease, "Master, I will protect that smile of yours, even with my own life, I won't let anyone take it away from you." William thought, reaffirming his belief in protecting Kenzo.

"You better get some rest, I'll be on guard," William said quickly, he thought Kenzo was still weak, and still needed to rest a little longer.

"Hearing that Kenzo narrowed his eyes a little, William don't tell me you want to finish this meal alone." Said Kenzo who immediately grabbed some grilled meat on the edge of the bonfire.

William was a little arrogant and immediately laughed loudly, Kenzo's childlike behavior made him unable to stop himself from laughing.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing as that" Kenzo snorted slightly?

"Sorry sir I didn't mean it like that, it's just, All this food I deliberately prepared for you, sir, I have eaten more than this," William replied, continuing to laugh while holding his stomach a little.

"No-no! The rules in my world, if there is a friend he can't eat alone, especially if his friend is nearby, so you have to accompany me to eat, even if you're full." Kenzo handed William a piece of grilled meat.

William stared fixedly at Kenzo, he had already gotten too much attention from his master, if only he was alone, maybe his tears would have spilled.

"Mmm, fine sir, I'll be happy to accompany you," replied William who immediately took the meat given by Kenzo.

"We will continue our journey tomorrow morning, most likely there will be more beasts we will meet." William was very sure of this.

According to him, the deeper they entered the forest, of course, the more and more powerful beasts would appear.

"Isn't that great? It's according to our plan." Kenzo said while devouring the roast beef in his hand.

Meanwhile on the other side, behind the hill a man with long black hair stood on a towering tree, smiling lopsidedly, impatiently waiting for Kenzo and William to arrive.

"I'll be waiting for you guys, that's if I can get here!" The man mumbled while letting off a playful smile and slightly shining black eyes staring intently at Kenzo and William's path.
