Chapter 5
The Old man, which I doesn't now the name, is just rarely at home, there is also a day when he doesn't come back and one time he comes back holding a small sack of silver and gold on his hands.
'I guess he is a Adventurer', that is my logical explanation why he has that kind of strength and lots of money.
'Can I ask him to train me!'
I wonder to myself, if he will be willing to.
***
Seventh day, of my stay in this house, The Old man just arrived coming from the outside.
'Sir, Please Eat'
I already prepared the meat for him. Then he walk to the kitchen and just as he is about to eat.
"What is it? I know, you have something to say"
What!!? Can he read my mind? I'm not showing it to my face right.? I wonder that to myself.
"HAHAHA, Brat do you think I would not realize that? You just called me 'Sir', but that is not your usual term to address me, so I just know,....., So, What is it? "
"Sir, I already know that you are quite strong yourself, and that I need strength to survive in this world, I just can't simply live here forever, what if you doesn't come back, I
He listened to me with shock and interest in his face.
" SO, PLEASE SIR, CAN YOU TRAIN ME!!??" I gather my courage and ask him a very big favor. I know that he will not gain anything from it, so I already know that it will be hard for me to convince him.
"Sir, I know that..."
"STOP, Ok, I'll Train you"
before I could finish my sentence, He disrupt me.
"SIR, PLEASE,... I will do.....Huh?"
Did I misheard it? I looked at him again. Did he just agree in training me?
"Tomorrow morning,! wake up before the sunrises, We will start your light training"
The old man, looked at me before his smile on his face grow wider.
"YES, SIR"
I was happy and at the same time very nervous, but he said light training, so I guess even a beginner like me can endure it.
****
Around 4 AM, I wake up,
"I'm a little to early for sunrise, right?"
Maybe I should do some exercise.
"Hey, Brat"
I looked at my back then I see the Old man signaling me come to his side.
"Get the axe at the back"
"Yes Sir, I will"
I straitened my clothes and went to the storage to fetch the axe.
'It's quite heavy Huh'
"Did you get it?! Hurry and come here!!"
The old man shouted. So I hurried to come to his side.
"Are you ready??"
He looked at my clothes, Then he grab it.
"Yes?..... Huh?!!"
Before I respond to him property, He dragged me near the door then he jumps down, bringing me along.
***
After some time of walking in the forest, The Old man stops near a very big tree, It look so big that I think three Big man needs to combine just to soround it. It also looks so old with dried leafs all over.Then he stares at me.
"Here we are, Your most antic.i.p.ated training will start now, Your task for two days is to chop down this tree"
"HUH!?!!!??....
BUT YOU SAID IT WAS A LIGHT TRAINING!!!!"
"Yes, this is light because you're a beginner, after you finish my primary requirements, we will commence your true training, I will leave you here, for two days you will be responsible for your own food and survival"
"Then what happens if I don't complete the task!?!"
this is the most important thing to know now.
"I will not pick you up, that's all, by the way here are three bottles of medical potion, it can relieve your body pain"
With a serious face he said and pa.s.s me those bottles, then he vanished again.
"Only three bottles for two whole days of work, I need to start planning on when to use it"
He swallowed all the complaints he want to say, and starts thinking.
'In the first place I'm the one who wishes this"
With Determination in his eyes,Jade started his training.
