"You will never win!" He said.
"I will!" I shout back. Chief Astig glares on me. He stands tall and proud in his armor. While poor me is on the ground. Trying to get up.
"Look at you. What can you do? You are weak, you're not even agile." Chief Astig said. Everyone is looking at us now. I guess it became their habit to watch my defeat every single day of my training.
"Atleast I can get back up!" I attack again. No matter how I attack. It always feel short. I can't even make a combo out of it. He is fast, unbelievably strong and smart. He keeps changing his sword size.
When I say change the sword size, it really change. It can grow as tall as a 2 storey house. Or as small as a dagger. I am always in his range. Compared to my spear, the "avenger". He knows how to use his sword. And I don't really know how to use my spear.
I asked the chief to train me, when I woke up a few days ago after my defeat with those drakia. Good thing, my wounds healed and I'm as good as new. I thought I'm going to loose my arms there. I realized I got a pretty awesome healing factor. Although, I don't really know my healing limits.
"No matter what you say, I am the chosen one!." I said, letting my voice be heard by the people. "I will win no matter what." At that moment, he hit me on my legs and I fell.
Fuck. I can't defeat him. Am I really the chosen one? To tell you the truth, I am starting to doubt myself. I have powers, yes. But I feel it is not enough to defeat anyone.
I can heal or kill with my touch, it is not like my enemy will give me permission to touch them, right? That's why I asked to be trained. In return, I will do the healing for everyone.
"Stay down." He said to me. I looked around and see people leaving the area. We are in an open field in the middle of the town. I lay down the grass.
He then sit beside me. "training's over! Or should I say, beating's over? Hahahhahah!!!!" he laughed.
"Am I improving?" I asked.
"No." He answered. "You are getting worse every single day."
"Seriously?!" I didn't believe him. "I hit you today with the crowbar. I bet you didn't see it coming." By the way, my weapon can change from crowbar to spear. Depending on the side of the coin on top.
"Yes. But it didn't hurt me. Or kill me." He said.
I Looked in the sky. I have so much to learn. Skills, tactics, I just hope I can achieve my goal.
"It's okay." A beautiful face looked down on me. "You are getting better." Ganda said. The most beautiful girl in this town.
"What is that?" I asked, she handed me some pink coloured liquid in a wooden mug.
"It is some healing potion with greitei juice." She answered. I can heal myself, but the stamina, the exhaustion, there is no healing that. Only with a cool, sweet drink with a soda. Damn, I miss soda. But hey, I got this greitei juice.
"Where is mine?" the chief asked. "I'm tired too. You know."
"Oh, I forgot to bring it." She said while smiling so cute. "It's with Che."
"Tell her to give it to me. Or just get it will you?" he said to Ganda.
She looked at him for a second. Like deciding if he is joking or not. Then, she realized he isn't. With a sad face. She said. "Ok fine. See you later John."
"Your kind is quite weak and fragile." Chief Astig said looking at me . While I'm happily sipping my potion filled greitei juice.
"My kind?" I asked, confusingly.
"Yes." He answered.
"What do you mean?"
"The people from your world." He said.
"Oh, we are. Unlike you, we don't have powers. We don't have magic in my world." I said. I remember my world, the technology, the people, my family. I miss them. "Imagine living your whole life without superpower, or magic, and someone bullies you. You will live scared, cowering that you might get hurt. Or injured. You feel like you can't do anything about it."
Then I continued, "suddenly, you found yourself in a world full of magic and wonder. And the great thing is you got superpower to fight the bullies. Of course, I won't let this chance slip. I mean, now, I can do something about it." I looked at him.
"But you are still weak." He said. Damn, this guy is impossible. "You can't do anything against the demon king. He will decimate you in an instant." He snapped his fingers.
"You are underestimating my kind, huh?!" I said smiling. "Who said that I will fight him alone? We humans can't do magic, we can't even do everything alone. But together, with friends and families. We sure do great things."
He looked at me, and I'm sure he got the idea. My plan, or part of the plan. If I can't do something, I will find someone to do it for me.
"How about, we find people who can help me defeat the demon king?" I suggested.
He thinks for a second, you can see in his face, that he looks far to the future. Wondering the possibilities, the outcomes, the consequences of my plan.
Then he looks back at me. "if you defeat me, then I will help you."
Damn, I thought he will help me now. And move on with this stupid training session that I cant even win.
I better think of a better plan to defeat this guy. But how? He is so good, smart and powerful.
I guess, I should start making myself more powerful.
That's my plan.
