When I woke up I was covered in blood and surrounded by dead robed men. Some dismembered and some killed with magic, like the ones who got impaled by earth spikes. I looked in my pocket dimension and saw Zun's sword in there, I sighed a breath of relief.
My clothes were completely drenched in blood so I found a robed man in roughly good condition and took his outfit and dagger. I looked at the robe before putting it on then I realised 'Teacher!'
I went in the direction of my house only to see a group of heavily armoured soldiers, the voice spoke [they won't like that you did this we should leave.] 'Are you sure? It was self-defence, right?' I asked [no, this wasn't self-defence, it was a massacre, look you have no wounds.] I looked down, he was right I had no wounds whatsoever.
'so, we have to leave?' I asked the voice, it responded [yes, you should head to the capital.] I didn't question the voice 'ok, I trust you, Teacher will be safe with the soldiers, let's go' as I said that I turned around and started walking towards the capital, it was going to take about a week to get there on foot but if the voice told me to go there I would.
[keke, I'm glad you trust me so.]

I've been walking for about a day now and I just got to Dragon's den, I looked at the mountain and bowed slightly to show my thanks then, I looked back towards Serec and saw a merchant wagon coming toward me, I looked at it for a moment before turning around to head to the capital.
When the wagon got close to me it stopped and the driver talked to me "you there, what are you doing so close to Dragon's den without a bodyguard?" I looked at him and said "I could say the same for you" the man laughed "oh, I guess you're right" he put his hand out for a shake "the names Paul, Paul Desoreke."
I just looked at his hand for a bit, I was having a hard time trusting him after what happened to me, I finally shook his hand "Gwyn" the man nodded "Gwyn huh, say you have a weapon there, are you strong?" I could see where this was going so I replied: "depends on where you're going, Paul laughed "well I'm headed for the capital" I nodded "I was trained by an A-ranked adventurer" I lied a little but what's the harm right?
"A rank? Well I'll take you there if you protect me" he said it with a smile on his face, "you got a deal" I said while hopping up next to him "then we're off" he said while snapping the reigns, my week-long trip just turned into a few days.
