Thaneiros went back to the house and continued the fight.
Akirion and Lyricos continued the fight. It was a very big fight for the ten year old boys. The wooden swords kept on clashing.
' What's wrong boy, are you afraid?' Asked the mannerless Lyricos.
'What, afraid of you? Not in a million years that I will never live.' Akirion replied.
After some time, Akirion thought of a way to end the fight, not to continue to clash swords as if they are training. Akirion started to use his stamina wisely, he started to run around the ground to confuse Lyricos.
'Ohh, you are really afraid, now you are running away! Which means I win'.
'Ohh great, he's letting his guard down, thinking that kid is running away, poor minded kid'. said the Master. He continued saying; 'It's better not to enterfer, as for now, this fight is over, this kid is well trained.'
Akirion found a space that he needed and moved fast, straight to Lyricos, then jumps up, surprisingly, Lyricos gasped in fear, I'm sure his mouth ran out of saliva, he didn't notice Akirion Jumping up, Akirion landed behind Lyricos and landed his sword on Lyricos' neck. The Master clapped his hands with a smile on his face.
' Well-done Akirion, you have passed the test
' Thank you sir, no I mean Master'. Akirion said.
' Okay, Lyricos, I'm sure you learnt a very big, good lesson, not to underestimate people, get that?'
' Yes Master!' Lyricos boringly replied.
'Now it's time to resume the training session.'
They resumed their training for the day and in the evening, the other kids started departing from the place.
'So what happened to the swordman's house?'
'They didn't get in Sir, I heard them saying that they left the house running and the swordmaster said that he will come out with his sword to slaughter them, mostly, he was saying it to the unit who wanted to kill the kid …' Mika was cut off by Haruto's question.
'Wait, the unit?'
' Yes, they said that they met the RPU army at the gate so they had to proceed too, and as for the swordmaster, he said that the underground should search for someone they know not they don't and as for the unit, they can't kill an innocent kid.'
' Understandable, so what are you thinking?'
'Nothing really, just givi…..'
' No, of course not, we can't just give up, do you know how important that kid is, do you? I'm sure you don't, now get out of here '.
'I wanted to say, giving it some good thoughts will be better, not giving up'.
'Huh? Okay I hear you, now, leave, I need some space.'
' okay Sir.'
She left, on a bit of anger and happiness.
'Hey Akirion, I'll be locking the gates now, you should be going home now.'
'...' only silence came from Akirion, and then he helplessly moved slowly to the gates.
'{Wait, this kid said that he lost his parents yesterday, and he got no one, according to the dirt, I guess he was telling the truth and as for the way he ate, surely tells his story without even telling anyone.} HEY AKIE! '
' YES MASTER?!' (wiping off his tears)
' {Huh, he was crying, poor kid,} COME HERE QUICK!'
Akirion went back running.
'Yes Master.'
' Would you mind coming inside my house, it's a bachelor's house don't judge hahaha.'
'Okay' Akirion happily agreed to go inside.
Thaneiros started to prepare supper and Akirion was busy exploring the house, checking out many piles of books.
'Wow, so many books you got here Master, it surely means you are a reader.' Said Akirion, admiring his master's books.
'ihm , I surely read a lot, it's my own type of entertainment, I prefer reading to sleeping without doing anything to spend the time, I always wake super early if I sleep super early.'
' Ohhh, I see, it's better you got that entertainment, it was going to be boring living alone, cause you said you were a bachelor when I got in , so I can't picture that life of being alone and nothing to entertain you.'
' Yes it's boring to be alone, so, reading books is a better way to get rid of my boredom.'
'I see '.
' So, how do you get rid of your boredom?'
' Ahh, it's hard to say this, before my parents died, I used to spend the day training with my father ,then when the night time comes, I'll really be tired, so I'll bath, eat and go to sleep.'
'ohh! That's good. So how about going to bath right now?
'Me?'
' Yes , Just like you are used to, you can use the bathroom. By the way, do you know how to wash your clothes?'
'Ahh , yes?'
' Good, I don't have clothes for kids, I'll let you use my t-shirt, for the night, your clothes will be dry by tomorrow morning, so you can wear them then , in order to go to training, until I get to buy you some training outfit.'
'Ahhh, Thank you? Bu….'
'Just go to the bathroom!'
' okay Master.{ What is he up to, it's hard to understand, he's talking about washing my clothes and then wear his gross big t-shirt, how is that even possible, by the way, is he trying to let me...sp sp spend the night here? Yey , that's great} Okay Master! ' He said that again with a smile on his face, from ear to ear and Thaneiros got surprised.
'Huh? What was he still waiting for? And that smile, it was creepy.'
Akirion found his way to the bathroom, with his heart pounding in happiness. He finished his bath and then washed his clothes, he then put on Thaneiros' t-shirt.
He then went back….
'Wow , nice dress, brother sister Akirion hahaha '.
'grrr, so you made me wear this so that you can tease me, nice plan Master, tch'. He then looks aside with anger on his face.
' hahaha, sorry, sorry, really, I was just kidding. It's just for the night, don't worry.'
They both enjoyed dinner.
'Okay , I haven't told yet, you will be spending the day here tonight , consider it a sleep over.'
'Okay , Thank you Master, I really appreciate it, I didn't have a place to go to today, I'm happy that I can spend the whole night here.'
'(gasped) Huh, okay you are welcome. By the way, you don't have a place to go?'
'Yes'.
'How about your father's house?'
'It was all burnt down infront of my eyes.'
'Okay, tell me, what happened to your parents?'
