《Kyle》CHAPTER 6.5
Advertisement
Linslet just said unconcernedly "Linslet Lionheart," but Kyle changes back to his fake smile and said, "I'm Kyle. Nice to meet you miss Alice"
Kyle then said to Mark, "hey Mark, could you carry me to the medical facility. I think my body feel like a log right now."
"Sure," said Mark, then he called Shawn, who looked at him and Kyle with a heavy face, but still walked to them. Both of them then support Kyle by lending him their shoulder as they walked away.
"Can you walk, miss?" ask one of her roommate with a slight bow.
"Urrgh, I hate to say this, but I can't even feel my leg."
Her two roommates then carried her on a stretcher as they went towards the medical facility. All the other apprentices have a stunned face, ‘what just happened?'
Forget Lanister speed as he is a Chief warden, but why did Linslet had to be carried away on a stretcher while Kyle still could move? Factly speaking, it should be the other way around. Linslet is wearing a high-grade magic armour you know, not some mere low-class armour, but a fucking high grade one. What did Chief Lanister do to make her lay like a corpse?.
"I'm hungry," said Shawn while supporting Kyle.
"You are very lucky," said Kyle as he brings out a sandwich wrap in a paper from his pocket. He then holds out his hand and said, "25 copper coins."
"It's only 15 copper coins, and you don't even put any topping on top of it," protested Shawn.
"Well, if you want to go to the cafeteria, feel free to do that. You'll need to walk to the center area, then west area, which will take 30 minutes. are you sure you don't want it?" said Kyle as he shows his ham sandwich to Shawn, making him look at it with a hungry face.
"Tchh," said Shawn as he gave 25 copper coins to Kyle. He then ate it with his left hand as his right hand is used to supported Kyle.
When they arrived at a check-in counter at the medical facility, a staff girl wearing a white jacket and short skirt greets them, "welcome. Hmm, sore body and a major bleed on your hand, don't worry. It'll only take 1 day to fully healed."
‘Fast,' thought Kyle as he was stunned with how great The Order's healing staff is.
"Let's proceed to the treatment then," said that staff girl with a smile.
She then brings Kyle to a doctor, which Kyle is really surprised with how kind the beautiful lady in white jacket bandages his arm and holds his arm warmly as she used magic, ‘this shit is good.'
The staff girl then bring Kyle to a 2 person room, making Kyle followed her with a cheerful smile, but when he entered that room, he saw the last girl he wants to see right now.
"What the hell are you doing here?" asked Kyle with an annoyed face.
"The same could be said to you. Why the hell are you admitted in the same room as great me?" protested Linslet loudly.

"Now, now," said a medical staff that bring Kyle to his room, "I think you should be nice to each other."
"I refused to be in the same room as this commoner. He makes the air in this room become dirty with his breath, with his sweat… this make me feel gross the more I think about it," said Linslet as she tried to hold from throwing up.
"Who the hell want to be in the same room as you?" retorted Kyle with an angry face.
Shawn said as he watched their quarrel, too lazy and sleepy to be involved in something stupid, "I'll go back first to sleep."
"I'll just be here to prevent both of you from fighting with each other," said Mark as he sat on a chair beside Kyle's bed.
Linslet then ask his two roommates, "hey, what do you think my great weakness is?"
Those two then looked at each other with a heavy face, as they don't even know the answer, "I think it's muscle, miss," said one of them.
"Yeah Linslet, I think you fight very well as you don't even have a single injury, but what you lack is strength to take a heavy hit. Look at Ky –"
She saw Linslet stare at her angrily, then she immediately changes to rude tone, "look at that commoner. He had many cuts on his body whereas your body still look perfect."
"Yeah right," chime Kyle, "except you cannot even move your hand after been hit by Chief Lanister, at least I can still walk here."
"Heh," snorted Linslet, "what's so good about being a total brute with no brain," provoke Linslet at Kyle.
"Say the girl who draw her sword first, right mama girl?" Said Kyle with a calm face.
"Let's go finish our fight outside, commoner" snap Linslet as she tried to take a rapier beside her bed, but cannot even lift her hand.
"Let's go then," said Kyle as he sat on his bed and throws an apple at her.
Before the apple can even reach her, it had been stuck on the wall by a knife. Her friend who called her as ‘miss' then draw her rapier but stop when a medical staff entered the room.
"I'll make all of you clean this whole facility if I saw you fighting again," said a medical staff who came after hearing their loud voice.
"Yes ma'am," answered all five of them simultaneously.
At dusk, Mark went back to his dorm but Linslet friends wait until 10pm before saying goodbye to her. She said at Kyle "Look at you commoner, no one wait for you until night. If not for boarding rules, I'm sure they'll stay here longer.
"Whatever," said Kyle as he just went to sleep, ignoring Linslet.
Next morning at 6 am, Kyle woke up, stretching his body and went to his ward bathroom. He washed his face and rinse his mouth with water. After finishing his morning business, he then takes a small face towel that is already inside bathroom to wipe his face. As he went out of the bathroom, he saw Linslet is sleeping soundly, "don't blame me for this mama girl."

He then went to a table beside her bed and change her alarm from 6.30 am to 8 am, "hehe, little girl should sleep well for their growth period."
Kyle then walked to counter staff at 1st floor and check out, "err, how much I need to pay?" said Kyle with great difficulty.
"As you are one of Order's staff, it's free," said a staff girl cheerfully.Yaaay, hooray for free money.
He then walked to his room and saw Mark is already gone while Shawn is still sleeping. He looked at Shawn alarm and the time shown is 6.25 am, ‘I go should exercise to release my boredom,' thought Kyle as he changed to training clothes.
At 9.30 am, Kyle, Mark and Shawn then went to training field with their set of armour and Weapon. Kyle and Shawn use Leather type armour whereas Mark armour is more to knight's plate mail. Shawn's magic gem between its chest armour is higher grade compare to Mark's middle-grade magic armour, ‘good for you having a magic armour, good for you,' stared Kyle at Shawn and Mark.
‘You damn peasant. How dare you make me miss my daily training. I shall pay you back for this,' stare Linslet angrily when she saw Kyle. If look could kill someone, then Kyle will definitely die 100 times just by this morning.
At training field, all 15 apprentices warden were now lining in front of a woman who is still in her early twenties and have an exotic tan skin. She wears high-grade magic leather armour that shows her beautiful glowing tan skin and a red cape. She said as she looked at all 15 apprentices, "Now are you ready to start your first class?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Are you chicken? Louder," said the woman in keen voice.
"YES MA'AM!"
"Good, I'm warden Elliana, Your teacher for this whole year. I'll teach you on how to fight. Not some kind of stupid dancing, but a real fight with lives on the line," said Elliana as she crossed her arm.
Linslet then raised her hand, "but ma'am, what if we already learn our own style?"
Elliana looked at Linslet as she raised her eyebrow, "your name?"
"Linslet Lionheart, ma'am," said Linslet with a proud face.
"Lionheart family huh? I heard your family use water sword style," said Elliana.
"Yes ma'am, we used one of the strongest style ever developed in Isebet nation," said Linslet in a proud tone.
Elliana points at tan skin teenage man who wields a heavy sword and said, "You, fight her."
"Ma'am?" asked both Linslet and that man.
"What, didn't your style famous in using soft movement to block a heavy attack. As he used a great sword, this is a perfect demonstration," said Elliana.
The man who wields a heavy sword then stood in front of Linslet. He thumps his chest as he said, "may we have a good fight." Linslet just nods her head as she draws her rapier.
They then jump at each other at the same time, like they already rehearse their movement many times before. As all apprentices looked at them with awe, Kyle was stunned.
‘Is this a dance?' asked Kyle in his mind. What he was looking right now was two people who have a synchronise breathing, synchronise movement and even they hit each other at the same time.
He swung his heavy sword in uppercut style towards Linslet chest, and she blocked it using her rapier to redirect that sword movement. They looked at each other with a simple nod, as they admire each other strength.
After redirecting that man heavy sword, Linslet stab at that man chest, but that man block it first using his left gauntlet. As they ready to slash… or dance with each other again –
Thong!
A pebble hit Linslet's shoulder. As that pebble break her body stance, a greatsword slash at her stomach area, but only managed to scratch her armour as that man never intended to injure her. But if that slashed hit Kyle's armour, then he will surely enter the medical facility with a deep cut on his stomach.
Linslet, who was laying on the ground looked at Elliana with questioning gaze,why did she throw a pebble at me?
Elliana said in a keen tone, "you both think this is dancing? You think when you fight against chaos art user, they'll dance with you like a chicken?"
Elliana then throws 2 fast pebbles at both Linslet and that man. He managed to defend by holding his sword in front of him.
Linslet saw a fast pebble coming towards her shoulder try to get away. Betraying her expectation, that pebble was too fast to dodge. She had instantly laid flat on the ground.
"And that's what all of you lack. Reaction, movement and soft fighting style," said Elliana to all warden apprentices. She then looked at that man and asked, "hey, where did you learn on how to fight?"
"My name is Andrew and I learn from my father ma'am. He's a warrior of Shera nation," said Andrew with warrior pride as he stores his sword on his back.
"Shera's warrior huh? That explains your fighting style. Still you should just dodge that pebble," sighed Elliana.
"This is not a fight between warriors who respect each other, this is you against chaos user," Elliana throws another pebble at him, but this time it was layered with a yellow aura.
Andrew saw a slow pebble coming towards him. Its speed was like 5 years old kid throw a heavy boulder. He sighed as he saw some yellow aura, ‘arcane art huh. Well, at least she put something dangerous on it.'
He then blocked it with his sword. When his sword touched that slow moving pebble, it instantly fell to the ground. When he tried to lift it, he felt like he is 5 years old kid lifting a 50kg boulder. It won't even budge no matter how hard he tried.
"Now then," said Elliana as she looked back to other 13 apprentices, "today, I'll teach you reaction time."

From the Final World
I have lived a long, long time. Longer than the universe knows; longer than any star has seen or traveling light records. My memories; that is all that is left that knows that length, and that which was seen within it. Then again, that is all that ever did. When I am gone, it will be forgotten, a truth and a history lost forever no matter who or what tries to find it. I think that is why I write this now. A record, or a lament, of the most significant being of all time. It is a prideful exaltation of endless triumph, or the dread condemnation of infinite evil. I don’t know which; I shall leave it for others to judge. I could explain further, of course. I could list the sins that have been committed, the deeds that have been done. Yet for now, I believe this is enough. Her story will speak for itself. About the good, and evil, in the heart of a single girl burdened with more than her fair share. And how she reacted to it. So, I will tell her story. Of gods and devils, mortals and monsters, of legends long forgotten and civilizations long turned to dust. And in the end, I hope she knows herself, whether it is salvation, or destruction, she should receive.

8 199Out of the Motherland
Russia, 1941. Operation Barbarossa. Winter has set in and the German advance is stalling before Moscow. Temperatures are dropping as the promised end to the Russian invasion has not arrived. The winter is the coldest of the century, and German troops are freezing as they push themselves through the snow towards the enemy. Meanwhile, dissent stirs among the German ranks and on their home front. Karl Tesdorpf, a captain in the 30. Infanterie-Division, is caught between his family and the Schutzstaffel - he escapes, but becomes a fugitive among his own allies. Russia, 1941. Western Front. The Soviet frontlines have been overrun again and again. Their great people are completely on the defensive. While reserves are brought in to stem the German forces, the troops on the front line are left with limited supplies and support. Whole Soviet armies are wiped out as they are surrounded and cut off, and for the troops on the ground and in the air victories are few and far between. Amid this chaos, his rifle division reduced to a tenth of their size by enemy armour, Oryl Denikin walks away from the conflict. He heads home, into German-occupied territory, but he is soon to find that his motherland is no longer the place he knew and lived. As both sides funnel their resources into the second great war in a generation, trying to force the other to break first, millions upon millions of men are caught in the middle. This is the tale of just two of them. Dedicated to Gerhard, of #55 - the reason this story exists.
8 198Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
