"Here to receive a beating again, Kid?"
Cedric smiled wryly upon hearing this. He has heard these exact same words hundreds of times now, at least, and they still sound as offensive as the first time.
But he didn't dare to be negligent or impolite. He never did and never could. Cedric was familiar with experts like this man having some strange and/or unique attitude.
"I'll trouble you again, Master Ye." Cedric politely replied with a curt bow.
"Tch, how boring."
Master Ye, the man Cedric has to face in the second stage of the Trial of the Body, clicked his tongue. His gruff appearance, stocky body, and rough voice sure made him seem intimidating.
This Master Ye isn't human, but he does resemble one very closely. Cedric guessed that he's from the Dwarven Race, who, just like the Forest Pixie Race, are born from worlds that have abundant life and spirituality.
