《The Great Nok Ma》Chapter 3: Lucky?

' Kid, wake up.'
' Oy Kid, wake up already. Don't waste my time'
Someone called to me.
I open my eyes to see who it is. And saw someone standing next to my bed holding a bowl.
It was the old dark elf staring at me looking irritated.
' Eat this ' handing me another bowl of medicinal porridge.
Its another effing porridge.
' Hey , kid your very lucky that you're allowed to eat that.' he snorted before storming out of the room.
Lucky? Who the eff is willing to eat this? It taste like cow shit. I rebuke in my mind.
I peeked through the window and stared at the setting sun.
I was taken back to the reality by the sudden bang on the door.
I redirect my attention there and saw rashka entering the room with a dejected look on her face.Whats with that look? I curiously looked at her
'I apologize for the sudden intrusion but there's something that you need to know.' she said with an apologetic smile.
'What is it?' i asked her. While forcing myself to eat the porridge.Oh damm Am I in trouble ? I thought.
'The elders decided that you are required to join the upcoming trial three months from now' she said dejectedly.
So they want to see what I can do huh. I guess have no choice other than to cooperate with them, I still need more information about this new world that didn't exist before and besides I don't need to worry about dying while I'm here.No matter what it takes I need to pass this trial.
'Oh no worries its only a trial' I sighed.In my heart,I thought their going to dissect me or something so that they can study me. I mean its only a trial, I can even take on a big ass chicken all by myself so whats to worry about. How hard can it be right.

'So what is this trial all about?' i asked her while smiling.
'Your pretty calm about it.I admire your confidence .'she said and I notice that her mood lighten up.
She told me every detail there is on this trial.
Every young man on this village needs to partake this trial as part of their coming of age ceremony. Once they passed this trial then they would be considered as a man and have a voice on the world of adults.
This trial is pretty easy to understand.
First of all there are three stages on this trial. The first and second stage lasts a month each. And the final stage only lasts for a day.
The reason was because you need to complete a certain mission to pass the first two stages. Where the final stage would be a battle between the remaining participants.
And a participant only need to get to the final stage to pass this trial. They would be given a choice to either withdraw or join the battle with no repercussions . The final stage of the trial is mainly used to determine the rankings and abilities of the participants.
' Hmm, it look easy to me.' I said while grinning at her.
'Its not.' she rebuked.
'Except the final stage, the first two stage is where most of the participants fail.' she said with a serious air around her.
'The mission depends on one's luck. The missions are given randomly by the trial stone. That were placed by the elders beforehand. ' rashka added.
' Can you give some example of the missions given on the last trial?' I asked while looking straight on her eyes.
I guess no matter what it is, I still have an edge on everyone that's participating in this trial. When I got shrunk an eight of the strenght that I had when I was a normal human remained and after the life or death battle with that chicken I feel a lot stronger than before.

'Well to put it simply, it can range from mediocre missions which are mostly gathering and other easy jobs. To hard ones like scouting, tracking , and assasinations on the first stage.' she said with a helpless smile.
'Assasinations? Isn't that a little overboard? '
I asked her nervously.
'It depends on who's the target. Besides you shouldn't worry too much because every year there's only one assanition mission on the first stage.' rashka answered with a you-can-do-it expression.
'You're right. Well it's not like I'm afraid or anything. Then what about the stage two missions?' I replied.
'Hmmm, there's only one mission on stage two, and that's to tame a beast companion.' she explained while turning around.
'See that?' she asked raising her hair pointing at the sparrow looking tattoo on her upper back.
'Thats my companion, Ish'mere. This mark is the proof of our contract. With this I can communicate and call her anytime I want' rashka faced me again.
'The amount of the companions you can have will depend on your abilities. They are seperated by ranks and Ish'mere is only at the lower-mid tier. ' then she took the gauntlets off from her right hand and showed me another tattoo, its a tattoo of a mouse.
'This one is Kha, Also a lower-mid tier beast.'
Hmmmmm .So basically I can tame as many as I can. Kukukuku a lot of strong animals that I know run through my head. I think a tiger or a bear would suit me.I grinned with that thought in mind.
'Well to tame them you just need to make them submit to you through force, and make them give their essence to you.' she said with a cheerful smile, bursting my bubble.
Make them submit by force? I don't even know if I can make a chicken submit to me much less a bear.
