Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 - A Friend Name Hans

It's been 7 months. Peaceful months, days, and weeks, since Karl went back to his body. A lot of changes happened in the village of Isruhr. From wooden walls to concrete hard walls to protect themselves from beasts, bandits, and demons. Toilets, that are connected to sewage so that it can properly flow the dirt well, and he also taught them proper hygienes to avoid infections. Karl even invented and introduced soap to them to clean their bodies and hands to wash. The people who live from the village of Isruhr were grateful ever since their work became convenient, thanks to Karl's strangest inventions.

Karl won the bet from the Village Chief, Adelheid, and Aldin after observing Karl's crop rotation. The result was better and it grew well after Karl taught them about crop rotating. The villagers were amazed at the crops that grew and it really got doubled. They thanked Karl for his idea and he became a benefactor of the Village

And of course the greedy old geezers. They couldn't restrain themselves, they shamelessly asked Karl to hand over the ingredients. They thought that they can make much money with that soap and sell it to others at higher costs. Of course, Karl didn't give it to them as for he knows what their motive is and he can look at them the way they act so obviously. The elder can't help themselves from being irritated with Karl, they couldn't even do anything as he was protected by the Village Chief.

------------------------------

It was in the morning and the sun shone brightly on the land's surface when Karl was walking his way to meet his friend name Hans who was waiting at the center. Hans is his friend and a servant, he was younger than him, an 8-year-old kid. A fine-looking boy covered with innocence, he's brave and fond of justice, his hair is brown with black color eyes. Karl thought this boy could easily be tricked or manipulated if such things happen.

They both now lived at Karl's house along with Hans's mother named Cecilia. Thanks to Karl's mother nature element healing lvl 4 she was now cured of her illness, an unexplainable illness that even scientists cannot comprehend. Her eyes were the same as Hans, only his hair is plain black, she is also a beautiful widow and her age is 27. Karl's mother agreed to take them in. Helene was also grateful that she has now had a close friend and an assistant.

They met a few months ago in the forest. Karl was going to improve his swordsmanship and fighting skills when he saw Hans getting dragged by the other kids. Hans was laying down on the ground while he use his both hands to cover his face as he was receiving kicks by the other kids around him. Hans can't get up because he was beaten up already, his body was already exhausted. Karl couldn't bear what he was watching, sooon he immediately approach the other kids. As soon as he move towards them, the kids who were busy beating Hans notice a boy appears out of the bush. The five kids realize that it was Karl the benefactor of their village.

The five ignored Karl and continued beating up Hans as they thought that Karl was just passing by or to practice his swordsmanship around the forest. They knew how great Karl wields his sword and they were afraid of it. They can still remember Karl's duel with one of the Elders years ago, how did he win and how did he fight. Karl soon said to them.

K: "𝘰𝘪𝘪 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘪𝘵, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘺"

The five were startled the moment they heard that Karl was saying something to them, they look quickly at Karl and said.

??: "𝘸-𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘫-𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘪𝘯" *shivers*

K; "(majin? five legend heroes? never heard of it, is it some kind of a fairytale?) 𝘪 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦, 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺"

They glared back at Karl with a solemn expression on their faces. Karl can tell by their faces that they were pissed off and scared, Karl giggled. He was also curious as to why were they quiet and what are they planning, he seems there was something off is going on. Karl soon got closer at them but as soon as he got closer, the two suddenly charged at him while they were holding a stick and rock, one from the right and one in the left.

Before they could reach their attacks on Karl, Karl in an instant jump and shove their heads with his two feet. The two fell down to the ground from his kick and soon another two kids again charged at him. After the other kid got closer to Karl, he started punching him but his fist couldn't hit Karl, he was struggling to hit. Meanwhile, the other kid distanced himself from Karl at the back. While Karl was busy toying with the kid he soon throw his rock from above which is directed at Karl. He ran towards Karl as he was holding a rock and throws it again at him visibly, Karl sensed the rock from his back, luckily Karl evades the rock which he throws but little did he know that there was still one left rock from Above.

After Karl evade the first rock while he let his guard down without knowing. The second rock hit his shoulder, he almost got hit on his head. Again he recklessly let his guard down and thought that it might affect him in the future especially when times are difficult. He also thinks that this boy has potential, so tricky that he was able to land a hit using just rocks. He might even be able to turn the tides upside down because of his trickiness.

After Karl got finally hit, the boy who throw the rock to Karl was rejoicing and thought that he finally hit him. He again plans to use the same trick to Karl but Karl isn't that dumb to fall twice for his trap. Karl check his left shoulder where he was hit and then suddenly gazed upon him. He was shivering, his sweat drops from his face, and was frightened by Karl's gaze.

Soon, Karl suddenly chopped the boy using his right hand to his neck right beside him, making the kid fainted and then sooner he unexpectedly appears behind the kid who throw the rock at him. *slow motion* The moment the kid knew and suddenly feels the presence of Karl, he got scared and his eyes widened. He was surprised by Karl's skill and his killing intent was leaking out making him tremble from fear. He turns his face at his back but before he could face Karl, he passed out after Karl chopped his neck briefly.

The last kid who was hiding in the tree was afraid of Karl. He saw four of his friends laying down on the ground unconscious. He couldn't see Karl around so he wondered where Karl is. He try to go out and check on them but before he proceeds, Karl was already behind his back. Karl ask and he said.

K: "𝘰𝘪𝘪 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧"

As soon as Karl finished what he was saying, the last kid startled at him.

??: "𝘸-𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘥-𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦?" *he quavers*

K: "𝘏𝘈𝘏𝘈𝘏𝘈 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘹, 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘪'𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘪'𝘮 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵...𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴, 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘵?" *smiles at him while his eyes were closed*

??: "𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢-𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵-𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺?" *stuttering*

K: *smirked* "𝘪 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵? 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴. 𝘓𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵, 𝘭𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘺, 𝘪𝘧 𝘪 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘭𝘭 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵??"

The boy who was looking down nodded obediently and ran to his friends to help them get up. Karl suddenly remember that he was suppose to save a boy who was getting beaten up by these kids earlier. He also remember that his body was weak and exhausted, Karl quickly ran to help the boy who was suffering. As soon when he got closer, it was so strange that it disappeared from the place where did they beat him. Karl was wondering however, he didn't give up and still started to search for him. After a while of searching for him, soon he finally found him drinking water near the river.

( End POV )

------------------------------

As soon as when Karl gets near the kid, he suddenly heard sobbing, he seems that this boy was crying, having a hard time, especially he just gets beaten by those bkis earlier. The boy stopped crying the moment he saw Karl coming out from the tree where he was hiding. The boy was afraid, he thought will he be the next to get beaten? While Karl tried to reach him he notice the kid was walking backwards closer to the river. The kid accidentally got slipped without knowing what he was stepping, Karl instantly reached and held both of his hands before he could be drag by the flows of the river. He pulled the boy away far from the river and he said.

K: "𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨?? 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧!?" *he said loudly*

Afterward, they then finally continued to talk. Karl asked him why is he out alone in the forest and why is he getting beaten by those kids. At first, the boy hesitated to talk because he was embarrassed but after convincing he finally talk to him, he said.

??: "𝘪-𝘪 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘺....𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘪 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵....𝘪 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘪 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥, 𝘪 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵.

The boy kept on telling him what did happen. Karl was able to understand the situation he was experiencing. The both of them keep talking until sundown. Karl decided to bring them to his home after seeing their home that is nearly destroyed or ruined, he even said to him that it's possible to cure his illness with her mother's assistance. The boy was hesitant at first, he doesn't fully trust Karl because most people in this era are vicious. Karl assured him that he has no intentions or motives for them, and he just wanted to help.

After a while of talking, the boy finally agreed to Karl. The boy couldn't thank enough Karl for helping them this day. Karl humbly said that nothing much and he was just helping them as he doesn't want to see people suffering especially innocent ones. The boy asked Karl if there was a way to repay him for helping his mother but Karl didn't want anything, The boy suddenly thinks of something, he then kneeled and he said.

H: "𝘵𝘩-𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘪 𝘴𝘦-𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶? *place his right fist next to his chest* *face down* 𝘐 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶, 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘺, 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘴, 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘴. 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴"

Karl was surprised by the etiquette and manners of Hans, to think a commoner like him could learn especially he just swear an oath of loyalty, he wondered and asked.

K: "𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦?"

H: "𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥?? 𝘪'𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦?? 𝘪 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘬"

K: "𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘭....𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘭 𝘝𝘰𝘯 𝘈𝘭𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘵"

H: "𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺-𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘴 𝘢 𝘯𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥?" *asked suspiciously*

Hans thought that only a noble can have a surname, the moment he heard the surname of his Lord Karl, he was shocked. Whether his lord is a noble or not, Hans didn't care anyway.

K: "𝘺-𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺, 𝘪 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥, 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘒𝘢𝘳𝘭. 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶"

H: "𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, 𝘪 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥"

It looks like he's already calmed off, come to think of it. I usually thought that he used to stutter too much whenever he talks. Cowardly and timid, but i didn't know that he has this kind of calmness and seriousness despite his physical and mental being weak. If he wants to be strong and avenge his loved ones or to protect maybe training along with him isn't bad right Guide? maybe he even had magic affinity Karl thought.

K: "𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘭𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬"
