《World War, The Beginning》Chapter 7: On Death's door Training
Advertisement
As the morning sun come, a girl scream resound to the atmosphere. Awaken by the high pitch scream, Red fumble into the ground. With his head still not fully awaken, his eye caught a scene of Olivia covering her body with the blanket while her eyes forming tears. seeing Olivia state Red may have cause a misunderstanding, approaching her slowly Olivia start to fidget as she was afraid by the man that she thought have done something inappropriate to her. Red then stop and spoke
‘ Olivia let me explain, first I didn’t do anything to you I only brought you here because you were sleeping lying on the floor of the library, second the reason I brought you were because I was afraid you might caught a cold and third I would not let a girl left alone sleeping like that’
after silence take place, red’s eyes were showing determination trying to make her believe in his words. Then Olivia spoke;
‘then why is my glasses are over there?’
confidently answering back
‘ since you were sleeping I don’t want it to be broken if you change sideways or rough sleeping’
again silence took place but now Olivia seems to calm down and look more comfortable but then a banging can be heard at Red’s room door. Someone shout
‘ Hero is there any problem over there we heard screaming came from your side of the room’
Red was calm about the situation, he went to try to open the door but Olivia quickly rush to his side without the fear she has shown just now. Whispering to Red she said
‘ please don’t open the door, I beg of you’
without telling him the reason Red just calmly nod to her plea. Replying back to the voice
‘im okay there is nothing wrong here’
‘are you sure hero? Can we come into your room for confirmation?’
looking at Olivia, she frantically shake her head opposing to the idea of opening the door.
‘well im naked right now so I don’t think I can open up the door right now’
‘oo my apologies hero, since you sound fine I take my leave then’
after hearing footstep heading away from Red’s room, Olivia then show a sigh of relief. Still wondering why does she feel more afraid of being discovered rather than the thought of me molesting her, I then ask the question
‘you know, do you have a problem here in the castle?’
‘noo’
‘then why are you so afraid of being known ?’
‘ahh’
with a troubled face she thought hard about it trying to come up with an excuse. Not really care about it I just brush it off,
‘nevermind just get ready and if you are not sleepy anymore you can go back to the library, I on the other hand need to go to those damn jello mountains’s training’.
Suiting up with the tunic given to me after last morning training, it was well made probably using quality material. It was dark green in color and the best part is its warm. Bra also given me an arm bracer, it was made out of metal for both arms. From my original world the use of bracer is usually for defending purpose, so I think it apply to the same principle over here. Other than that Bra also given me a pair of boot, it’s a common one compare to my formal shoe it was a lot more functioning in this world. Prepping myself, I then went to the court yard getting on my horse. It was much more easier after experiencing horseback riding for the past two days. But still I don’t think the horse really like me.

Riding through the wind, the town scenery past by like rotating wheel. As the early morning sun was still rising, his assumption was correct that people in this world was also early bird especially for those involved in agriculture. Riding toward his destination, Bra ask him to meet her at the same forest as yesterday. Arriving at the forest, there was no one around and not even a boar was there.
Stretching my body after getting off the horse, a few joint cracks showing the rigidity of my body. Ouh yeah I forgot to mention, I also received a steel sword more like the sword I used to cut up the boar. Strolling around the area, searching for something interesting, my sense was tingling when something come out of the bush. With a sound of metal release from its sheath, Red turn around as fast as he could but noticing too late a blade was held right to his neck. With eyes wide open, he saw the one who was holding the blade it was none other than Bra. Her appearance right now was different to her usual self, the air around her was suffocating, her eyes were showing the glint of looking at her prey and her body exude the aura of a killer instinct. Feeling this pressure head on, my body start to sweat bullets. Staring straight to her eyes, a deep silence was felt and she break the silence,
‘huh you would be dead if you don’t react faster my dear hero~’
‘then kill me already’
‘ehhh that wasn’t what I want but I think it was expected of you to say that’
‘ so today training is??’
‘hmm I didn’t think about it yet’
‘sheesh this busty guardian you should have thought of something, you are the instructor right’
‘ ooohh you like my breast, I see how about this if you can block even once against my killer instill attack I would let you do what you please with these babies of mine’
showing a grin after giving that suggestion it raised the chain that bound the lust of my heart. But thinking about touching those melons I would…. Nope im not gonna fall for those words, it must be a painful training regime.
Before training, I start to warm myself up preparing for the inevitable, even with the glorious reward I was still cautious about the upcoming training. Her killing intent fill attack was enough to make my knee weak, as it wasn’t enough thinking about receiving those kind of blow wasn’t the ideal way of doing training. Isn’t it much better doing training like those in Dragonball manga, at least it seems safe. While mumbling to myself, Bra quickly said something to snap me back,
‘dear hero~~ come on be ready im gonna attack now’.
Okay now im nervous im not gonna die am I, can she make a mistake ? she’s an expert right I hope she’s in top condition for today ha ha ha. Laughing it out in these head of mine, a sudden object was thrown straight toward my face, luckily I managed to avoid it at the last minute. At this moment in my heart I was thanking the Goddess of Luck for giving me her precious luck to save this life of mine, but looking at the direction where it was thrown, it was none other than Bra. Fueling up with anger, I try to release a shout of anger but before my lips can release those word of insult suddenly she was right in front of me. It was fast, too fast. The difference between our distances was approximately 10 meters, but in the blink of an eye she stood there in front of me with a dagger closely at my neck and to be exact it was at my internal jugular vein. It was a pain having the knowledge of a human anatomy; you exactly know where the location of having a fatal death is. It made myself to be more cautious around others and the environment, you could call that paranoid to be exact but it wasn’t at the state where it was chronic.

‘oh ho, it seems your body response well to intense killing instinct’
‘eh?’
Looking down my hand were holding the sword while inches away from blocking the dagger blade. It seems in this situation my hone paranoid instinct were useful in protecting my body, but it was still consider slow if she has been serious of killing me I would have died seconds ago. Looking back she said she was a guardian, are guardian this strong? Is she on par with the general or something. Her physical ability is no joke. By the way I think I may have pee a little bit -_- . damn you melon warrior, is she training or humiliating me.
‘ok hero, since your body response well let’s kick up a notch’
‘wait’
she then disappear into the background, her cunningness in concealing herself is troublesome.
‘cheh! I guess i will stop nagging and try not to get myself kill’
mumbling to myself, I try to put the anger away and focus on the training, even though its troublesome it was still a way for me to survived in this harsh world. Standing on the ground I hold the sword with both of my hands, anticipating the attack was hard. The area of exposure was in a radius of 360 degree, I don’t know how am I gonna block her attack. Even so getting all disoriented in where it may come from I try to calm myself. Since coming here, I really do have a knack in this calming thee self-thing. Taking a deep breath I prepare myself, while exhaling the last breath I noticed some movement from the bush next to my right. Quickly moving my body and sword to a stance for defending my front,
‘fwush’
again I was too late. Like missing a beat, her dagger were again targeting my neck fatal site.
‘huhu good you are getting faster again!’
what? Is she complimenting me, it must be her trick better defend the next one.
After a while this course of action was repeated again and again.
‘huff huff huff damn this is tiring’
after being repeating the same action for the past few hours, I lost count of how many times that I should be dead, nevermind that right now my body is fatigue all over. Her killing attack is no joke, every time I try to defend against it I was always almost close of blocking it but her dagger movement was erratic changing its direction as I was becoming more familiar with the straight forward attack. even so I think before she move she always gave a hint of where she was coming, that’s why I was always able to deduce most of the incoming attack. Disappointed by the current me I was still not going to give up, at least for today I need to block this last attack. My body could only move for this one time only, after that its either success or failure. Waiting for the right moment, the sun was already at the top of my head the heat was killing me but wait isn’t this country cold to begin with. Without me knowing it, the intense training was burning the inside of my body, calories were burning at a fast rate my body is preparing for the last bout. Concentrating my mind, I try to discern the signs from the environment differentiating it between the real one and the feint.
Cheh there’s a lot of feint this time, she knows im at my limit. Right, left, right again damn her she’s playing with me. I will succeed!! And feel those melons!!. While thinking about those mounds I unintentionally let my guard down and at that moment it was her time to deliver the final blow. In the blink of an eye she attack from the front, her speed was again increased. Her dagger movement was flowing like the river torrent, gentle but full of pressure. With my guard drop my reaction time was substantially late. The dagger was targeting the same spot as the first strike she given me this early morning. Knowing I cant block it, I voluntarily lean backward and drop my body. The dagger miss the vital point by a millimeter. Then with burning instinct as I drop I rotate my body and with the momentum of the fall plus the rotation I brandish my sword swinging it to her unguarded body. taking her by surprise, in my mind she will not able to block the attack but again exceeding my expectation she hastily block my suicidal attack using her left arm bracer.
‘KLANG!’
I was stunned but I was hoping for her to block it, if she had gotten injured I wouldn’t want to feel guilty about it. With the failure of my last ditch attempt, I relaxed my tense body and fall to the ground. I was dead tired, staring at the blue sky it calms my mind then a shadow block the view of the sky.
‘you did good today hero~’
‘I fail to block didn’t I why is it good then’
‘hmm actually you exceed my expectation, not only you are able to avoid my attack but countering it was no mere feat, that last attack push me to the limit if not my beautiful face would be injured urghh’
‘ oi oi don’t exaggerate my weak attack wouldn’t be that serious’
‘hmm since you succeed want to feel this babies of mine hehe’
she said that with a grin on her face,
‘ don’t want to’
‘ehh?? Why you deserve it right’
‘the things is I can’t move my body so you know what that means right’
‘aww to bad then I guess you miss your chance then, try better next time Hero~ hehe’
damn this melon guardian
‘urgh nevermind im too tired to argue hey im gonna sleep for a while don’t leave me’
‘ehh the hero want me to be at your side you are making me blush’
‘that wasn’t what I meant! Huh~ just don’t leave’
After the last word came out of Red’s mouth his eye lid closely shut putting him in deep slumber.
