Krav maga

"But, how are you going to do it?" Asked Emma.

"I don't know!" I announced with a proud smile.

._.

They all had awkward smiles, " we'll see how that will turn out later, but for now, let's focus on getting stronger!" I added.

"Yeah, he's right, there's no way we can defeat them at the state we're at-" Urgan was cut off by the sound of the doorknob turning.

"Hello, boys- Oh you've got visitors, excuse my intrusion, my name's Caroline, I'm Urgan's mom and Silius's aunt." Said aunt while smiling, ah I still can't believe that I thought that Caroline was an old woman, she looks beautiful even during her 30s.

"Yeah, mom, when we're finished we'll come down." Smiled Urgan, Aunt waved at the twins and they returned the wave with a smile.

*Click*

"Return you guys to your homes, come back tomorrow, I'll hopefully have a plan later." I sighed and sent them off.

We talked a bit with aunt and ate lunch, Urgan went to sleep while I left the house to clear my thoughts.

[Why not create a product that a noble would like, get a powerful backing and use the recourses he gives you for your product to defeat the snakes and get their wealth?]

'Sigh, but what could that product be?' I couldn't think of anything that a noble would want from us, something of luxury.

[Cigarettes.]

'Cigarettes?'

[Yes, cigarettes, it's an addictive item, that would be your product.]

'But how can I make this product?'

[Simple, go back home and write down what I'll tell you.]

Time passed quickly, and eventually, streetlights turned on.

'You're… you're a fucking GENIOUS!' I laugh, on the table were papers, which all had drawings and writings on them.

[I knew you'd like it, people back on earth were smoking on this constantly!]

'I know now how to make it… but where can I find tobacco…'

'Oh..'

'The forest!'

[Yeah so now that I've fulfilled my promise, imma go back watch narcos, bye nerd.]

I didn't mind him mocking me, cigarettes will make me filthy rich! But the problem is that I've got to go to the forest to get tobacco, and my best bet is going to the outer areas as the inner one got some monsters that I don't think I can take on.

I still wonder how mother was able to take us in.

The problem is not only the monsters, the gate guards won't let me out, I need an adult to accompany me, and aunt is a no-go, I guess I'll just plan that on a later date.

My next priority is getting my team stronger, at least smarter.

Hm...….

HM.....

HHMMMMMMMMMMM…

[You fucking bitch stop doing that you're annoying me, goddammit why do I need to always give you hints, teach them kickboxing, or something don't know.]

"Weren't you watching a series?"

[Yes and you fucking ruined it, I hate you.]

"Ahahaha…. What about teaching them Krav Maga instead?" I avoided that convo like a pro!

[Great choice to be honest, at least, you're not brain-dead just like some fucking campers of Val.]

"Of course it is, that's my favorite martial art!" I laughed, oh, during those four years, Trev taught me some martial arts, he was indeed surprised by my learning speed, but I think he was just exaggerating.

[Well, you do your thing and don't fucking talk to me, I'm gonna read a manga if you fucking annoy me one more time I swear to god I'm gonna murder you.]

'Holy shit, chill'

I laughed then went to my room, then had a goodnight's sleep, hmm very gooood.

Next day…

I gathered my little group in the garden and spoke.

"Do you all know why I brought you here?"

"Uhhh… No?" Said Ruto.

"Exactly you don't, that's why it's more exciting!" I laughed as I patted his back.

"Now seriously Silius, why did you want us to come to the garden this early." Sighed Urgan, well I did indeed pour cold water on him so that he'd wake up but we don't talk about that.

"I'm teaching you all how to fight!"

"But why?" Asked Emma.

"More of a why not?" I replied, making her give me a scoff.

"OOOO, teach us! Right now!" Ruto jumped around, stars shining in his eyes.

"Ahaha, of course, wait a bit first…" I left the garden for a few minutes and came back with a bat.

"Ha..Ha… Why did you bring the…. Bat?" Ruto slowly backed off while saying those words, and the others slowly backed off too.

"Oh come on guys, I'm not going to beat you with it, I'm not that of a savage." I said with an innocent smile.

"Sigh, ok, what are we learning?" Asked Urgan.

"Krav Maga, it's a martial art made by a guy who had his people annihilated by another mustache guy because he didn't get accepted to art school."

"Why would anyone kill people just because he didn't get into an art school? That's dumb." Said Emma while shaking her head.

"I don't know either." I raised my arms, "but now, I want you guys to do a running pose, all ten toes facing me."

They all did it correctly, well except Ruto who had his right leg sideways.

*Pow*

"Owwww, why did you do that?!" He cried while holding his right leg.

"What do you mean, I'm just correcting your posture!" I grinned.

"Hehe.." Giggled both Urgan and Emma.

*Clack*

I snapped my stick against the ground.

"Hm?" I looked at them,

"N-nothing!" Replied both of them in unison

"Good, so now that we corrected our comrade's posture, next we will get our fists up, contract our upper back, and when you punch you'll exhale and move your back foot a little depending on the hand that you'll punch with." I said.

They all needed a bit of 'posture fixing' but they got the hang of it pretty quick.

"Good job!" I gave them a thumbs up.

"Good job my ass, we've been punching the air for fucking hours!" Lashed out Urgan at me, sigh, kids are not grateful these days.

*Tap* *Tap*

"What did you say again?" I said as I got closer to him and leaned to his face.

"Nothing." He looked away, ha! Exactly!

"Well, so now that you all got punching, we'll get to kicking!"

"When you get your knees up a bit, thrust with your hip and kick as fast as possible and as hard as possible." I added, and like that the day ended, with a bit of groans here and there.

Weeks had gone by, and I told them about my cigarette plan, alarming them to tell me as soon as possible if they spot a plant that has big green leaves.

"Ahhhh, this day's boring…" I sighed leaning on my chair.

"Boss!" Ruto tried to catch his breath.

"What Ruto?"

"We found it, the plant, we've found it!" He announced.

"You found what?!"

"The tobacco plant! Some small gang was spotted carrying those leaves somewhere, we didn't want to make a scene, so they sent me."

"Ohoho, good job Ruto! I knew you weren't useless, wait a bit, I'm going to get my hand bandages."

"Why?" He asked.

"We're destroying them and taking their loot."
