Fight with me

When he saw that Axel was really serious he sighed and said to him : "I'm 33, and I became an assassin when I was very young Axel, every year I had to change my identity 2 or 3 times sometimes more, I have no memory of my real name, so I'm fine with Kevin it's perfect for me.

As for those assholes who hunt me down like a beast during those last 5 years, I killed so many of them that I stopped counting.

But during my last fight I killed about 50 elite soldiers and I finally took the life of the one who was in charge of killing me."

As Axel said nothing and was looking straight ahead he took his chin and turned his head towards him : "Are you satisfied now ?"

Axel had one last question he wanted to ask him but he was afraid of the answer : "I am ..."

Kevin chuckled and said : "Do you think you're dealing with an amateur, what do you want to ask me ?"

Axel then said to him : "You said that you have access to his memory, so did you choose to join the Sun Sect because it would allow you to be safe while growing stronger ?"

Kevin was surprised by his excellent analysis and wondered where he was going with this so he just nodded.

Axel continued : "Will you leave when you will be strong enough ?"

Kevin answered honestly : "Probably, Kevin was a naive kid and I don't have much information about your world, but it seems to be big and I don't like staying in one place for too long."

Axel then asked him the question he really wanted to ask : "Can I stay with you ?"

Kevin then looked at him strangely and answered him with another question : "Why do you think I told you the truth about myself ?"

Seeing that Axel was not responding he freed himself from his embrace, same if he really enjoyed being in his arms and leaned against his strong body, he needed to make understand something to Axel.

He went to retrieve his daggers from the ground, he threw one of them at him and said : "If you think it's because I need protection, because for the moment this body is too weak, you are wrong and let me prove it to you, fight with me."

Axel didn't know why Kevin had decided to be honest and telling him the truth about himself, given his background he could easily have come up with a plausible explanation and concealed his true identity.

He looked at the dagger in his hand and decided to accept this fight. Anyway, he needed to be sure that Kevin was able to fight before taking him to the dungeon.

Kevin motioned for him to approach and he looked so sure of himself that Axel couldn't help but be on his guard.

Kevin, after all, had told him yesterday that his technique with the stick was nothing and that his specialty was wielding daggers. He then approached him, and Kevin attacked first.

They fought for a few minutes and despite the difference in their level he couldn't get through Kevin's defense, well that was only because he didn't use any of his abilities, he wanted this fight to be a fair one.

When Axel decided that it was enough, he finished by using his speed and when Kevin parried his attack, he immediately disappeared and attacked him from behind.

But Kevin had to have predicted that he would do something like this, because even with his head turned in another direction he ended up with a blade pressed against his throat.

Kevin turned and saw Axel's stunned gaze, he smiled at him as he removed the blade he had pressed against his throat, and he repositioned his blade in the scabbard he wore on his forearm.

He then said to Axel : "If I told you the truth about myself, it is because I no longer want to be alone, I swore to himself before dying that if another chance was given to me I won't make the same mistakes.

I chose to trust you because you are powerful, honest and because I have just spent one of the best moments of my life riding on your back ... well, the back of your wolf form."

He approached Axel and said : "I saw that you liked me or at least that you were interested in me, you have made it clear and I respect that, but honestly I don't know if it will work you and me.

I chose you also because I've never been in a relationship before, this kind of feeling it's something I never experienced so don't have too much expectation or you will be disappointed."

Axel put his hand behind Kevin's head and pulled him to his embrace, he kissed his forehead and said : "I'm okay with that Kev, all I'm asking you is not to disappear overnight without informing me beforehand."

Kevin didn't respond right away, it was a promise he never could have made before, but now he was in the body of an insignificant mage who had no enemies, at least not yet.

So he looked Axel in the eye and said : "Okay, I promise I won't disappear overnight without telling you beforehand."

He saw Axel smile and he asked him excitedly : "So, are we going to this dungeon or not ?"

Axel nodded, he had had the answers to his questions and he knew Kevin had been honest, he had even implied that he was agreeing to be in a relationship with him.

And coming back to this dungeon, Kevin had just demonstrated to him that even with this seemingly weak body, he was quite capable of fighting.

So he put his arm around his shoulders and promptly guided him towards the dungeon gate, he didn't want to waste anymore time.

Kevin had placed his free hand around Axel's waist and in the other he held his dagger firmly.

Axel had also kept his dagger, because it was the only weapon he had since he had left his magic bag where he had shapeshifted into his wolf form.

Axel took him through the blue vortex and once in the other side of it, he told him when he was sure that there were no monsters nearby : "I guess I don't need to warn you and tell you what to do, right ?"

Kevin then said to him : "Don't worry, I won't be in your way, but if we find any monsters I can fight I would love you to let me have a little fun, okay ?"

Axel just nodded and Kevin activated his perception skill to scan the tunnels in front of him, but he didn't get any informations. He still preferred to leave it active, it would allow him to be more reactive if a monster suddenly appeared.

This dungeon looked like a cave and there were four tunnels in front of them, Kevin then asked him : "Where do we start ?"

Axel who had deployed his senses in the tunnels had already found the boss room but Kevin had told him he wanted to have a little fun so he was going to make sure he could have the fun he wanted.
