Don't You Get Tired Of Bullying The Weak

"Yeah but it won't be easy to locate the area with high spiritual energy without gaining the attention of the other beast" said Austin.

"If we are careful enough and with my talent of smelling every beast out, we shouldn't be getting into trouble" replied Jason with a smile as he tapped his nose.

"You know that you don't have any talent that can smell beast out, right, or did you hit your head while studying the book of herbs' ' asked the bracelet.

"Of course I don't, it is just an excuse to get him not to ask many questions during the hurt but if you are not pleased with my excuse then I Will have to tell him of your existence" reply Jason.

"Be my guess since you are the one that is going to be in danger" said the bracelet with a chuckle.

"Hey what are you thinking about this time" said Austin as he waved his hand in front of Jason.

Coming back to his senses as he stared at Austin who was now standing in front of him with his hand in front of his face.

"Eh, what are you doing" asked Jason in confusion as he held Austin's hand in place.

"Dude you just zoom out right after you told me that you are talented at smelling the beast out and I was getting worried" replied Austin as he took a deep breath before sitting down.

"Oh I was just thinking of what is going to happen if the grand elder found out that we went there since he has already warned me not to go there" said Jason with a light smile. 

"Don't worry man, there is no way he is going to find out if we don't tell him about it. So tell me more about this talent of yours" replied Austin.

"Well it is not actually a talent but rather it's just a habit of mine after spending more time in the beast territory" said Jason with an awkward laugh.

"Did you just say you have been to the beast territory before" asked Austin in shock.

"Yeah, I usually go there to look for herbs for my mother's treatment since we don't have the money to purchase them from the market" replied Jason.

"It must have been hard on you" said Austin with a sigh.

"No, it is what makes me who I am right now" replied Jason with a smile.

"I am glad I get to meet you Jason. Someone who is not afraid of death" said Austin after some time of silence between their two.

'What is going on in that big head of his' thought Jason as he turned to look at Austin.

"What did you want him to think after you lied to him? I can't believe I am a slave to a scum" replied the bracelet.

"Lying is the only way one can keep his head so you better learn to deal with it cause you will be seeing more" said Jason.

After having a short chit-chat with the bracelet, Jason turned to Austin as he said to him.

"Since we have everything planned out we will meet by the stream in the forest. We will move out when it gets dark since it will be the best time to move in the beast territory without worries".

"It doesn't make a difference to me since some beast will be more active at night" commented Austin.

"One more thing Austin, in this mission to the beast territory, you will have to do whatever I say since I am the one that can smell them out to avoid any shortcoming" said Jason in all seriousness.

"It is natural for you to take the lead so you don't have to worry about it" replied Austin with a chuckle.

"Aright, now that we have come to terms, you can go make preparation" said Jason.

"I will but right after I have convinced the grand elder to let you off" replied Austin.

"Oh, I forgot about that one. Please do your best to convince him" said Jason.

"That is an easy job you know the grand elder will let you off once I told him that you asked me to spar with you" replied Austin with a warm smile on his face.

"Really" asked Jason in shock.

"Yeah, the grand elder might be obsessed with concocting pills but doesn't ignore practice, there is no way he is going to let you waste your time here all day long while ignoring your training since your strength also plays a role in pill making" replied Austin.

Just as they were talking, the grand elder was already at the entrance as he looked at the two talking happily before walking inside and that was when they noticed his arrival.

"I never knew you would be able to make friends with Austin with that annoying mouth of yours" said the grand elder with a chuckle as he approached the two.

"I find interest in him after watching him trashed Larry" replied Austin with a smile on his face.

"In other words, it was his strength that drew your attention" asked the grand elder.

"The strong will have a hard time sparring with the weak" reply Jason in short.

The grand elder face couldn't help but twitch as he turned to Jason and asked.

"You still dare to call yourself strong even after being beaten throughout the fight".

"I only allowed him to land those hits on me since I am training my body" replied Jason as he tried to keep his face.

"Indeed you are training your body. So let me ask you this question, can you take a flick of the finger" said the grand elder as he raised his index finger for Jason to see.

"Come on, don't you get tired of bullying the weak" asked Jason as he took a step back.

"If it were to be someone else I might, but it is a different case when it comes to you" replied the grand elder with a chuckle as he took a step forward.
