《THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP》THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP - Chapter 17 : Training at a girl's house
Advertisement
We were met with the same groupies from the adventurer's guild. they were armed, armored, and full of confidence. there were about ten of them.
"Hey! you George! stay away from Catherine!" [Angry Adventurer]
"Yeah! you fat son of a b*tch!" [Angry Adventurer]
"Master, please let us take care of this." [Rigil]
"Go. but don't kill them." [Henry]
I will only show a little bit of mercy, and not kill them. Elgir and Rigil walked up infront of me.
"Move it you sh*t!" [Angry Adventurer]
"I cannot allow that." [Rigil]
"Then die!" [Angry Adventurer]
One of the groupies charged forward, while his blade in formation of a swing. he was somewhat skilled, since it was a heavy sword, and he swung it horizontally. Rigil jumped, while Elgir was showing of, and did the matrix thing. and Rigil, like on of those anime or manga, he hit the groupie in the neck, knocking him unconscious.
"You sh*t!" [Angry Adventurer]
Then all of them charged forward. racing against time, we had to end this battle quickly.
"Move aside." [Henry]
"Yes." [Rigil]

‘Skill acquired: [Knockout]’
‘[Knockout] has leveled up from LVL :1 to LVL :MAX’
I pointed my palm to the charging group, then i activate it.
Then all at once, they fell on the ground. this would look so cool right now if it weren't for my physique.
"Than was amazing master!" [Elgir]
"Amazing indeed." [Rigil]
"Yeah, yeah, let's go!" [Henry]
I really want to go to her house. i was never really invited to, i guess anything. it's kind of sad now. well the past is the past.
We stepped over the bodies, and went to the direction of Catherine's house, i saw her waving her hand to us, all happy and excited. but no one told me she was poor.

I mean she's really poor. like "house breaking down" poor. please let me help you Catherine. please, i don't want you to struggle.
"Here is my home." [Catherine]
"Can i please just say one thing?" [Henry]
"What is it?" [Catherine]
"Let me help you." [Henry]
"What?" [Catherine]
"Financially." [Henry]
"Oh! no. this isn't my house, the one next door is." [Catherine]
Next door was a very average house. the outside looks decent, it was normal.
"Oh! sorry." [Henry]
"Well, it is my fault for stopping here." [Catherine]
We entered the house, and it has decent furniture, cooking station, a stair case, and a living room, but all of it is medieval.
We sat down in the living room, and i struck up a conversation.
"Can i help you with your debt?" [Henry]
"Who told you that?" [Catherine]
"You're groupie kept saying it when you walked towards me. " [Henry]
"You don't need to." [Catherine]
"I want to." [Henry]
"I can pay it." [Catherine]
"It's a hundred gold coins, And the hardest S class mission reward is only 2 gold. how are you going to pay?" [Henry]
"One by one." [Catherine]
"Let me just help you." [Henry]
"..." [Catherine]
I grabbed my bag and inside was a something like a smaller bag. i then placed both my hands inside. and i used [Code].
giveHenryBlack 150 Gold Coins |
All the gold coins spawned inside the bag. i grabbed it and gave it to Catherine. oh, and 150 because of the interest. if their was no interest, she would be free of this debt by now.
"This is a big bag." [Catherine]
"How did you get this?" [Catherine]
"... Secret." [Henry]
"I guess i'll never know." [Catherine]
"Oh you will, but in time." [Henry]

"Thank you." [Catherine]
"You are most welcome." [Henry]
"Marry me." [Henry]
"No." [Catherine]
"F*ck." [Henry]
Damn it. i thought now i had a chance.
"So... where am i going to sleep?" [Henry]
"You are going to sleep upstairs, and the first door to your left." [Catherine]
"Where's your room?" [Henry]
"The other one." [Catherine]
"Okay." [Henry]
"Elgir, Rigil, you will sleep on the room here." [Catherine]
"Thank you for your kindness." [Elgir & Rigil]
"Oh yeah, who lives here aside from you?" [Henry]
"Why do you think that?" [Catherine]
"The house has a lot of rooms." [Henry]
"My father and mother, but they're both at Jilgo city, going to a meeting." [Catherine]
"I see." [Henry]
"Would you like me to teach you something?" [Henry]
"I don't really think i would need your training." [Catherine]
"Well, sparring with me will improve your endurance, agility, speed, reaction time, str-." [Henry]
"I get it! i get it! i get it!" [Catherine]
When i saw the backyard, it was full of training equipment. heavy objects, poles with rope, a balance beam, an open space for sparing, many tall poles, and a rack full of weapons.
"It seems you already have undergone training. but with whom?" [Henry]
"My father used to be an S Rank adventurer." [Catherine]
"I can see that." [Henry]
"Okay, let's go spar." [Henry]
"Sure." [Catherine]
I entered the area of sparing, and i felt the strikes, the blood, the sweat, of different people, and it's not just Catherine, sparing here.
"To see what is your extent of your abilities, i must first spar with you." [Henry]
"Then, let us begin." [Catherine]
I stood there, no pose, no weapon, just standing. Catherine was puzzled, but then she quickly ignored it.
She slowly approached me, inch by inch, and she was so close, that her sword can probably reach me. then she finally swings. i dodged that swing. then a pierce attack, i ducked. then she threw her sword up in the air. having human curiosity, my eyes followed the sword. it was then she tried to do a technique to me. but i stopped her by grabbing her arms, and stepping on her foot, while still following the sword.
She tried to escape, but my grip was too powerful. so i just let go. she was frustrated of this, and activated [Adrenaline]. She became faster, stronger, and more agile. she grabbed her sword, and swung the sword in many places. she was in front of me, now she's behind, then beside, then above. she's all over. but having the ∞ agility, i dodged them all. but she kept going,and going, and going. is she ever going to stop? i got worried for her, and i caught the sword. she was surprised, but as soon as she stopped, she fainted. why did you do this Catherine?
I picked her up and went back inside. i went upstairs, and went inside her bedroom. it was pink. even if this was the medieval ages, i never thought of seeing pink here. her bed was also pink. and her pillows. well she's a girl.
I placed her on the bed, and it seems that it was only the after effect of the adrenaline for so long. i left her there, and i went to my room. it was quite normal. i lied down on the bed, and just appreciated to finally sleep. and i just drifted away to dream land.

Caged within the Ravencourt
A short and pain-filled life was all that Melissa was given, and it wasn't until falling asleep for the last time that she was finally given something more. Waking up in a healthy and young body, and faced with an unfamiliar culture and even more inexplicable sights, Melissa had to adapt to her life new as Kalie, the third Princess of the Shattered Isles of Cerith. It didn't take long for Kalie to realize that even though she finds herself in a strange world, she may just be one of the strangest parts of it. As Kalie comes to terms with her bizarre new life, she finds herself set in the sights of the powerful new king of a far off land. Eventually finding herself taken away to be Caged within the Ravencourt. This story is world spanning, and slow to start. It's my intention to build up towards the epic story I'm hoping to tell. Don’t expect over the top powers, just smart characters using magic interestingly. And, like my other stories, the focus is on the characters themselves, less so the world they’re in. Enjoy!
