Chapter 11

"Gahh! this fuckin hurts man" I couldn't help but yell in pain as I made my way back

That magician had dealt more damage then I could have thought,I wasn't feeling it before but his vines had some kind of effect on me,I don't know why but my wounds won't stop bleeding for some reason.

I guess my sturdy body was fighting the effects before, not it was losing.

it took me ten minutes to get back,I was greeted with the sight of four tied up thugs as they were being lashed at , Mr Leo was acting like a devil as he was crazily beating them up.

The small time goons were dead already,I couldn't help but gulp as I looked at him.

The guards stopped Mr Leo once they saw me, as soon as Mr Leo saw me, the guy ran ahead and hugged me.

"Thank you brat!"

"It's alright I guess!" I was shocked, he hadn't acted like this ever,I guess being close to death does change people.

"No! you don't understand, you could have ran away, hell I wouldn't even blame you for that, as you were meant to protect us, but you held on, you got the little bastard and helped the others deal with them,I don't doubt the fact that we all would have died if it weren't for you being here." he said as he looked at me with his thankful gaze.

"I guess, hahaha!" I had never been thanked so profusely, for a moment I had even forgotten I was tired and hurt as hell

"Oh my God, you are bleeding, how are you even standing with these injuries, Anhton, go and call the healer" Mr Leo yelled as he helped me sit down,

Then a guy came and started using his grimoire, a white light descened and started healing me, ah! so blissful

I could feel my strained muscles were mending back together.

[Ding! Training complete +3 stats, +3 agility, +2 endurance, +1 wisdom]

'What do you mean by training,I was fighting for my dear life, sigh, Thanks I guess I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

"Robin, You stay here,I will be back in a minute" Mr Leo said as he stood up and walked towards the guard who was making sure that the bandits don't run away,

I looked at the bandits, the guy who I took with me to the forest was looking at me with murder in his eyes, the one I had kicked by surprise attack was still unconscious

I sighed,I was feeling heavy,I guess it won't hurt to sleep for a while. with that thought,I went to dreamland

.....

I groaned as I felt the carriage moving along the road and the neighing of the horses.

"Can't a man sleep for once in peace" I blurred out

"Hahaha, but you are still a kid" I opened my eyes to see who it was, it was one of the guards, they usually don't speak much, but then I remembered how I risked my life yesterday for them.

I returned a smile, as I knew I had somehow earned their recognition, which mean now I had another contact.

More people I get to have connections with the more people I can count on.

"How you feeling" I was asked

I stretched my arms and legs, I was as good as new

"Never better" I replied, earning another chuckle from the. guard

"I looked around, as we were the only ones in this carriage and I am guessing that this is the Carriage that belongs to Mr Leo

" Don't worry, Mr Leo is in the house while we two are going back to the warehouse," he told me

I nodded, Wait!

"How long was an asleep for"

"Haha! I was thinking when you will ask that, you kept sleeping for a day" he told me

I mentally groaned at that, one day of training was left.

But I guess I did get some hefty rewards from the system for the said near-death training I did just the day before yesterday or night

[Robin Alphonso]

[Rank:9 (Three stats need to be above 80 to advance)(all stats need to be above 20)]

[Stat Points:4]

[Strength:41]

[Agility:43]

[Enduranc:42]

[Mana:Not available]

[Wisdom:14]

[Skill points:10]

[Skills:Hunter(4), Swordsman(4), Fighter(5)]

I was even able to level up my skills through the supposed hell training of mine.

Even my wisdom increased, so I am not gonna complain, as I am guessing it helped me master skills and learn tricks much faster, I have a feeling it helps me be stable and calm as well.

I mentally gave myself a head pat for my good work

"Though I have to thank you properly" I got out of my self-thoughts as the guard did a half bow.

"You saved me and my brother Leo, I am forever thankful for that, if you have anything you want to ask, please go ahead," he said

"Huh! so you and he are brothers," I asked out of surprise

"What else did you think, I was good enough to fight as a mage, but not enough to join the magic knights so, I took the post of staying beside my bro at all times, the other guy is our cousin"

he cleared

"My name is Anton by the way, I think I should have mentioned that before, here" he handed me something, it was a giant cylindrical box,

I opened it up carefully and saw a beautifully crafted katana.

It was beautiful and had a far stronger blade than my previous one.

"We saw what happened to your blade, and decided it would be best to give you a new one, again, I am thankful for your services to my family," he said

"It's alright I guess, j am getting paid after all," I said as a matter of fact,

"Haha! you are an innocent guy, I guess that's why...thats why you didn't run away with the goods and chose to stay and fight, I was wrong you aren't a kid, you are a man, and not many are like you" he said to me as he gave me a shoulder pat.

I just gave him a nod before I got back to the blade,I traced a finger across it's blade, yup,it's definitely sharp as hell, if I had this before,I could have easily beat that guy, no worries though.

Though I guess I am still weak as hell,I had to work so hard to beat a single deadass Thug,I can't imagine how strong a magic knight would be.
