Chapter 16 - Experiencing Absolute Strength

Vänt bows and exits the room. "Why do you put up with his shit!?" Brook shouts pointing at the recently closed door. "He's a valuable asset, and he will be stronger than any of us in a couple years time. Its best to have positive relations" says Master pulling out a book from a bookshelf from the left side of the room, the book looks tattered and has remains of gold lining. "The guy is an asshole!" Brook shouts slamming his fist into the desk leaving a plum sized dent in it.

"I would hate to remind you of who failed there mission to, observe" Master said mockingly starring back towards Brook ruffling through pages. "Here read this" Master places the book in front Brook and sits back down in his chair. Brook stares at the book in shock and studies the writings in the book like some sort of scholar. "He's a Odrodzony!?" screams Brook. "That he is, they are a dime a dozen" says Master taking the book back and placing it to the side of the desk.

# Odrodzony = Reincarnated #

A ping noise resounds from the crystal ball beside them. "He's awake" says the Master sliding the globe back to the centre of the desk.

Urza stretches his arms and legs. "Fuuuuuuuck" He yawns as he jumps up and out of bed and puts a loaf of bread in his mouth. 'I should probably get more nutritious food, It could expand my growth by a ton' Urza thinks as he unconsciously beats the shit out of a punching bag made out of old sheets and stale rice grains. After about 30 minutes of unconscious abuse he grabs his coat and sword and heads towards the door leaving the punching bag disintegrated with no trace of it ever being there.

He arrives at the gates hood covering his face and taking light steps towards the gate following closely behind a merchant cart with a closed roof. Muffles and groans could be heard from the cart in front of him then a slight moan. "What the fuck..?" Urza turns his head towards the window of the cart, a fat man burst through the carts door grunting and snatching a potato from a nearby basket. "How refreshing" says the overweight merchant with his mouth full spitting out chunks of raw potato.

He lights a cigar and sits at the front of the cart where he socialised with the driver, throwing his half smoked cigar in a guards direction. The guard doesn't react, but smiles and bows down to pick up the cigar and throw it away for him. "Spineless fuck" says the overweight merchant scoffing at the guard who picked up the cigar. The overweight mans belly jiggles as he scratches it and heads back towards the carts door. "So he is a "high rank" I'm guessing or at least someone with high connections, that much is obvious" says Urza quietly to himself as he crawls under the cart reaching for the wheel axels.

A stomp resounds as he reached for the front axel, the fat merchant has heard Urza's remark and looks frantically but slow, as if he had seen a heavenly beauty or a 6 piece nugget. 'Fuck he heard me' Urza said rolling out from under the cart and hiding in the empty chest in the back of the cart, soon after he rolled from his former position, the overweight man falls to the ground and looks with keen eyes under the cart, nothing but dust and dirt. The merchant turtled on the ground Urza takes this opportunity and enters the gate as the guards are distracted by the fool. "Ok, now for that quest" said Urza as he headed towards Eliza's shop.

A bell rings as Urza enter the shop, he places his sword on the bench and takes off his hood, ringing a bell hung by the ceiling. "Yes!" a familiar female voice sounds as the pitter patter of bare feet resound from the back of the shop. "I'm here for the quest" says Urza towards the back trying to reach Eliza's hearing range. "Oh, it's you!" Eliza says as she opens the back door seemingly out of breath.

Urza stands there silently gazing at her. "Something wrong?" Eliza says tilting her head only a few centimetres away from his. Urza stands there looking into her eyes, "Nothing, just thinking of how it would be nice to have some personal space" Urza says giving off a mocking expression. Eliza blushes and stumbles back fixing her hair, "Anyway here is the location, and here is a couple coins for food and such" she said placing a map of the city and a bag of silver and copper coins. "Keep the map I already know the layout" Urza says sliding the map back towards her pocketing the money instead.

"I have things I need for this, a mask and new clothes" Urza says in a demeaning manner. "R-R-Right!" says Eliza going towards the back. Clattering and clanking noises echoed from the back door. After five minutes of endless noise she comes out with a large sack full of stuff. She places the large sack on the floor in the centre of the shop. Urza unties the rope and opens the sack.

A black mask with a red large smile and squinting eyes as well as a black robe and black pants covered in patterns that look like blood near the bottom of the legs. A set of female armour with a sword and shield accompanying the coat and mask was laying at the bottom of the sack. "I don't think I'll need this" says Urza lifting up the armour and tossing it towards Eliza's feet. "I didn't know which way you swing, and it isn't for you anyway" Eliza said putting the armour back in the sack. "You're not coming" said Urza as he threw the armour away again. "Oh yes I am!" shouted Eliza "It's my family, I should at least be their if we fail!"
