When Alexander returned to his room Mary came next with a food knock! knock!
"I brought food for you I know they haven't fed you for a few days" Mary put down the food
"When are you going to esmont again?" alexander asked
"Depending on the order of that old hag (Sven), Its up to him to decide when and who is our target" mary replied
"I don't understand how you live by killing politicians? How do you know that these politicians are really bad? Who are the people who study the use of weapons outside? " alexander asked
"we have people inside Esmont. They are investigating carefully who will be our next target, and about the money, after we kill a politician we steal all his wealth and also the people outside who are training in handling weapons are trainees. Soon you will join them and once you have proven yourself you can join our missions" Mary answered. Alexander is still confused about what is happening but he thinks that this is the best solution to get back to Esmont and successfully rescue his wife. Three days later, alexander's wounds healed and he went outside to train as well but the trainees did not allow him
"know your place boy" one of the trainees said to alexander, someone hit alexander on the back with a whip
"Who are you to have the right to trample on my territory without respect ?! " the master trainer ask
"Bastards align!" the master trainer shouted
The new trainees immediately lined up "I am Espar before you have the right to use my territory first prove yourself in the use of weapons, I will give you a week to prepare yourself and equipment, after a week you will fight the approved trainees and when you lose you will be a farmer until you can defeat the approved trainees and also when you win you can use my territory until your next exam to become an approved trainee " he added.
Alexander immediately went straight to the forest to make a spear, he looked for a strong tree branch to be the foundation of his spear and then he shaped it into the shape of a spear, Alexander went straight to training, a week have passed and the day of their examination came.
"All aspiring new trainees will draw a number in the box the same with the approved trainees. Those who picked the same number on both approve and new trainee were going to fight" The referee explained. Alexander's draw was 1 and the one who drew 1 in the approved trainee was Crix (The strongest of the approved trainees)
"The one who drew in number 1 please proceed to the ring" Espar ordered
The two went to the middle "There are no rules in the fight as long as whoever can knock on their opponent is the one who will be the winner" pointed out by Espar
Espar signaled the start of the fight, alexander immediately hit Crix on the neck then crix knelt down and out of consciousness. Alexander surprised everyone, they were impressed by the skill that alexander showed in holding the spear
"Alexander won" the referee's decision in the fight .
After that incident many new trainees approached Alexander to teach them in spear handling techniques. the examination ended with only four of them passed the exam out of fifty aspirants. After a few days alexander trained tirelessly to prepare for the day he was waiting for (rescuing his wife), while alexander was resting he heard his two fellow trainees talking
"It's tiring what we do every day, sometimesI forget what my reason is for continuing this uprising against esmont "trainee 1 said
" We have only one goal here, to overthrow esmont so that no one will be like us who are deprived in so many ways "trainee 2 replied
"whatever, I wish I could pick up a phantom item just to make my exam easier and get rid in this rigid training" trainee 1 replied
"What is a phantom item? where can I find or buy one?" alexander suddenly broke into the conversation
"Seriously? you don't know the phantom item? its maybe you grew up in your tribe with no update in whats happening outside their tribe" trainee 1 answered
"shut the fuck up and just answer my question! " alexander's angry command
"phantom items are weapons with magic and it depends on what will be compatible with you, no one knows where phantom items come from, no one knows where to find them, all we know is that phantom item itself will look for you and even others take your phantom item it will not activate its power"explain ng trainee 2
"In our side (Dark Knights) only the miracle 10 and Sven are the phantom item users while the esmont kingdom all their high ranking officers and the king himself are phantom item users also to add the praetor was the most powerful phantom user, he wipe an entire army in just 3 days "trainee 1 added " What are the Miracle 10?" alexander's next question
"You better ask mary, we should go back before espar kill us" the trainee said in a hurry 1
