Chapter 87: LACK OF EXPERIENCE

Mikael came out of the room and saw that he was in a wide hallway. He looked and found a cat maid, he asked about the place. He could do nothing so he wanted to level up.

But this was what the Maid told her.

"Sir Mikael, the Patriarch told me, when you wake up. Go to the Patriarch's room"

"Is that so ... okay I'm going."

He already knew where the room is. They talked there first when he came. After some walking, he reached the room.

He knocked, he didn't want to disturb. The Patriarch may be doing something.

"Is that you Mikael. You can enter"

When he heard the confirmation, Mikael opened the door.

"You look tired, how are you? Do you feel well"

"... If someone beat you to death and ask that question? What do you think they'll answer?"

The battle was not an equal fight, it's like bullying an elementary student.

"Hahaha, I guess you're right!"

He approached and slapped Mikael's back. As a high-level, the hit basically hurt him.

"Ugh, don't hit me. Your level is higher than mine okay"

"Hahahaha"

"Ugh"

But the Patriarch did not stop. He hit until he was satisfied.

.....

....

...

.

"And why did you call me. I thought we were done"

He was curious why the Patriarch called him. The sparring was over, he was beaten. But the Patriarch agreed to his wishes.

"You told me you would look for that woman before you got married, right?"

"Yes"

"Hm, I dig about your past. Let's ignore your wolf brother first and the motherfucking Redemption. Based on what I got, the person you are looking for is Niña Hasvolge, aka Niña the Windless. I am right?"

"Yes ..."

He did not know why his brother and Guild was involved in the conversation and why Klein was called a wolfman. He still didn't know much. For now, he would focus on their discussion.

"Hhmm, I see ... it's not easy, what you want. Niña is a wanted criminal and the whole Elves are gritting their teeth just to find and kill her."

"I already know it"

Klein had already told him this. So far, only high officials knew about this.

"Then I'll ask you a question. Do you have what it takes to defend her? You're just a simple mid-level Hunter. You don't have enough strength to protect her"

"That's why I need to become stronger"

He didn't know the reason why Niña killed an Elven princess but this didn't change anything about his decision. He would look for her and he would find out the whole story. If the outcome was good or bad, he had no regrets. Right now, he needs to see her, he was dying to see her.

"Hoh you have frightening passion. Are you ready to fight the world just for a woman?"

"Yes"

He answered with conviction. There were things that he won't let go of no matter what. He already regretted many things. He did not want to regret it anymore.

"Hahahahaha okay hahaha"

The Patriarch laughed, he's lucky to find a good man for his granddaughter. If he could do it to a woman he had not seen in years, he was sure that he could do it for his soon to be wife.

He laughed for a second and stopped. This was the time to be serious.

"Mikael. You. Are. Weak."

"....."

He did not know what to say, what Patriarch said was right. He's weak.

"Based on what I saw. You have no experience fighting people. You only fight monsters, mindless monsters. Tell me, how many times have you fought a Hunter, a serious fight"

"... just one"

It's was when he killed the Rank 5, Shawn.

"I see ... you don't have experience fighting an intelligent creature. This is your weakness. Fighting monster and human are two different things"

"... I know it. I didn't have a chance to fight Hunters. At that time, I put my priority in fighting monsters and leveling."

As a Hunter, he knew what his weaknesses are. It's just he didn't have enough time to hone them.

"When the time comes, many Hunters will look for you. If you're really sure of your decision to find her. You'll face a lot of people"

The whole Elves species was searching to find Niña. If he wants to see the female he had to deal with the whole species of Elves.

"Yup. I'm tired of regretting. This time, I'll make it right. No more mistake"

"Good. Keep this determination until the end. Hahaha since you are here, I'll teach you how to fight an intelligent creature. Just to make sure, humans are not easy opponents. They will use anything just to win."

"I have known that for a long time. When will we start? To fight a devil like you is beneficial to me"

He clenched his fist. He would gain strength to protect his important ones. If the Patriarch wants to teach him, he would gladly accept it.

"Hahaha I hope you don't regret your decision"

The student and teacher relationship began...

(Note: Arc three will end around chapter 130, and don't worry, Niña will be part of it.)
