CHAPTER 014 [BATTLE OF THE STRONGEST WARRIORS]

CHAPTER 014

The next morning, Rave and infinity went into the Astra town to stock on some stuff.

The market was very busy since it was the main market of the Astra town.

They began to buy some things they needed, and Infinity gathered all the money they had into a bag.

Some set of eyes were on infinity while he was keeping his master's money.

A hand snatched his bag suddenly and tried to run away, but the thief shirt was caught by master rave.

Master rave threw the thief to the ground and collected the bag from the thief.

"Now punk, get outta my sight before I lose my temper!" Master rave said to the thief in a very angry tone.

The thief ran as fast as he could away from them trembling in fear.

"Did I forget to mention how many thieves are in this town, especially this market, every time I come here my money always goes missing" Master rave said.

"Tell me about it, I got robbed the first time I came to this town by girls, but luckily I retrieved my money" Infinity said.

"Let's just get out of this place so we can train" Rave said.

"Yes, let's go" Infinity said. They left the twin to the forest.

Infinity came across a poster that was posted on a tree,he walked toward it and he took a closer look.

Master rave stopped and he also went to take a look at the poster as well.

Written on it was the prize of the tournament that was coming up in twelve days.

"So the prize of this tournament is a bag full of a thousand gold coins, interesting!" Rave said.

"um, haven't you been living in this town for years, how come you act as if you haven't heard of this tournament coming up?" infinity asked.

"Well, the competition is an annual one and they shuffle the prize every year" Rave said.

"Hmm, that is interesting" Infinity said.

They rushed back so they could start training. But master rave threw a question to infinity.

"Infinity, I met you months ago and I still don't know where you're from, you mind telling me where you came from?" Rave asked.

"Oh look, they sky is as Blue as ever, the weather is very good today" Infinity said trying to avoid master rave's question.

"You haven't answered my question yet, you're so secretive about yourself"Rave said.

Infinity sighed and they walked a few steps then he sighed again.

"I don't have a past life, I don't know anything" Infinity said but this time he was telling the truth.

"so you are trying to tell me you grew up yourself?" Rave asked.

An idea came to infinity's head, he wanted to keep master rave out of his past so he decided to come up with a story.

"I had parents, but they both died when I was a young boy, people forced my aunt to take me in but my aunt hated my parents when they were alive and she did the same for me"

"she was very harsh to me so I couldn't take it and I ran away from home then I found the Astra town" He said.

"So that's why you are secretive about your past life" he said.

Soon they arrived at their house, they began to train all day long, the day finally ended and they rested.

{A few days later, two days to the tournament}

A young woman sat near a small flowing stream of water. Her name was elantra.

Another girl named hera walked toward elantra with a brown bag in her hand, seeing her sister's state, she patted her on the back.

"Did Mr cheong stop by today?" Hera asked.

"Yes, Mr cheong stopped by and asked for his money, we have a lot of debts and I can't pay them all" Elantra said.

"I know sis, but I'm here to help you, you know we are both sisters and we have to help each other" Hera said trying to console her sister.

Soon,news spread around the Astra town about the tournament.

All fighters went to the leaders of the tournament and at the end of the day only thirty two warriors were accepted in the tournament and infinity was one of them, although he was a bit late.

"Please, I'm sorry I'm late miss, but you have to allow me enter the tournament" Infinity begged.

"Kid, I've told you, you're late and according to the rules, you are not allowed to enter!" a tournament official said strictly to infinity.

"I think I'd have something to say about that!!" Master rave said from a rear corner.

"Master rave!" said the official

"Master rave?" said infinity in surprise.

"Master rave, it's been a long time, good to see you again" she said bowing down showing some respect to her old master.

"Yes, hello again kio" Master rave said with a smile.

"Master, what brings you here!?" Kio asked rave.

"Wait, what's going on Master rave?" infinity asked.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you two, Infinity meet kio, my former apprentice" Rave said.

"Nice to meet you, miss kio" Infinity said bowing down to kio.

"kio, meet infinity, my new trainee" rave introduced them formally.

They both shake hands and master rave walked closer to them.

"I heard, the entry to this year's tournament is closed" Rave said.

"Don't worry about it Master, I can get infinity into the tournament" Kio said.

"umm excuse me, didn't you just said it's too late to get into the tournament?" Infinity asked.

"well, I can tell the tournament officials your story but it would take a long time convincing them, and it's really a hard process. She said to them both.

"But now, I can convince them, so no worries about that"she said to master rave and and infinity.

They all waved at each other and they left...

"..."

It was almost dark, fire flies already had begun to fly around the air and the stars had began to light up the sky.

A carriage carrying two passengers and a rider, passed on a lonely dark road.

"Brother, you know the tournament is coming up soon, and all you've been doing is eating and sleeping, it seems you don't want to win" Jin said.

"That's Father's business, I don't care of if I win and I don't even want to compete against anyone" Liu said to his sister, Jin.

"So you want to go against father's wish?"Jin said.

"So I won't disobey him, I'd have to fight in the tournament, for his sake" Liu said.

"Yeah, if you don't, both father and master and master will have your head" Jin said.

Soon, they arrived ant a mansion owned by a man named Duke Wu Chang. He was the richest man in the Astra town and also the most dangerous.

He had thousands of men under his control, no one dared to stand against him, Duke Wu Chang was also the father of Liu and Jin.

He stood outside waiting for their arrival, they rode into the mansion and they stopped.

Liu and Jin both step out of the carriage, the walked to their father and they bowed.

"Good evening father!" They both coursed.

Duke Wu, patted them in their heads, as a sign of welcome.

"How did it go, with master perso?" Duke Wu asked his son and his daughter.

"It went well father, we both trained harder than ever" Jin said.

"That is wonderful, now you both go inside and freshen up, the cook is preparing dinner for us again tonight" Duke Wu said.

"Yes father!!" they said and they both go into the mansion.

Two days later...
