Chereads / Demon Sword: The Strongest Samurai / Chapter 12 - The first task of the clan

Chapter 12 - The first task of the clan

Time went by fast, the sun was almost setting, Yashu opened his eyes, yawned a little, and stretched.

"It's getting late, huuu!" Yashu sighed lightly, and he immediately headed back to his residence, when he passed the training field, he could see that many students were still practicing.

"Now they are still free," Yashu muttered slightly shaking his head, of course, he knew for a month after the admission of new students, clans do not directly provide heavy tasks and training.

Because it was a glorious evening, Yashu rushed back to his residence, on the way he met some new students who were just like him, and as usual, the new students would curse him.

But Yashu who was already immune to all that didn't care and walked casually as if he didn't hear anything.

A few moments later, Yashu arrived at the area where he lived, but he suddenly stopped while narrowing his eyes, he saw a crowd of new students standing in front of the gate of his house.

"It sucks! What are they doing in front of my house?" Yashu snorted in annoyance as if trouble kept following him.

Meanwhile, within the crowd...

"Miss, it's not good to stand here, the air is getting colder, you better stop by my house!"

"Miss my house is closer, you can rest comfortably there!"

The crowd of new students was mostly boys, and Yashu was now pushing his way through the crowd quickly.

"Fuck! What are you doing?"

"That damn beggar, does he want to cause trouble again!"

The new students were very angry and annoyed with Yashu's attitude for forcibly breaking through. They did not know that Yashu was the owner of the number 77 house.

Yashu didn't care, and when he made his way through the crowd, he finally understood why the recruits had gathered in front of his gates.

The cause was none other than one of the beautiful and talented main students, Yona.

"What are you doing here?" Yashu asked in a flat voice.

Yona smiled lopsidedly and stepped slowly in front of Yashu, now the distance between the two was very close, only less than half a meter, "As usual you are still so stiff and cold, take this!" Yona held out a scroll while staring intently at Yashu.

"I told you to stop following me! Better get out of here right away!" Yashu blatantly shooed Yona away and even bumped into her shoulder while passing her.

Seeing Yashu's harsh treatment of Yona made the new members gathered dumbfounded.

"Did I hear wrong? He kicked out Miss Yona!"

"Wait? This is so weird, could it be that they know each other."

"Haha, you guys are exaggerating, I heard that a beggar was being bullied by one of the seniors when he was at the diner, and Miss Yona had saved the beggar."

"Huuu, that's right, how could a weak beggar be friends with a beautiful and talented noble!"

Yashu was immediately bombarded with ridicule and scathing insults from the gathered new students, but as usual, Yashu's expression didn't change in the slightest.

But, unlike Yona, she certainly felt guilty, because she was indirectly the cause of Yashu getting all these bad words.

Yona lowered her head, her right hand slowly wanted to pull out the thin sword at her waist.

"Whoosh!"

A black shadow shot up like a ghost, and Yashu suddenly stood in front of Yona, "Don't overdo it, I'll take this scroll and get out of here right away!" Yashu said in a whisper while holding Yona's right hand which was ready to draw his sword.

Realizing Yashu was trying to hold her back made Yona flinch slightly, "Sorry, I should have known your condition, I will go now, I hope you can come!" Yona turned around and darted away without daring to look at Yashu's face.

"Miss... Miss... Goddess!"

The new students shouted for Yona who just left, but Yona who felt very embarrassed for Yashu quickly left the area without looking back for a second.

Now, the attention of the new students turned back to Yashu.

"What kind of movement did that beggar use just now, I really can't see it!"

"Haha, at least it's just a lowly trick, it's the same with clown shows in every city, they also often do tricks like that."

"You're right, the moves are too weird, I'm also sure it was just a cheap trick."

"Hmm, why are we still here, let's go, my eyes will hurt if I look at this beggar for too long!"

"Yeah, that's right... Let's go...!"

The crowd of new members decided to leave leaving Yashu alone there.

On one of the roofs of a house that was quite far from where Yashu was, a girl wearing a blue robe looked at Yashu with shining blue eyes.

"Very interesting, such a move can only be done by an elite samurai, he is not an ordinary person!" The girl judged while letting off a crooked smile.

Yashu felt someone was watching him, but when he looked in all directions, he saw no one, the girl had already disappeared from where she was before.

A few moments later in the house, Yashu opened the scroll that Yona gave, it was an invitation to a tea party.

"What does that girl want from me?" Yashu shook his head, the tea banquet was held by Elder Gon, one of the elders who had a high social status, and at the same time is Yona's teacher.

The banquet will be held tomorrow night at Elder Gon's residence, Yashu is of course aware that the event will be attended by talented students and clan leaders.

He let go of the scroll, simply ignoring it, but after walking a few steps, he slightly turned his head back towards the scroll.

Morning came quickly, Yashu went to the clan's apple orchard, it was his first mission as a new disciple of the clan, for the next month the new students will only get easy and simple assignments.

Farming, gardening, raising livestock, looking for medicinal plants around the clan area, and some other simple tasks.

About half an hour had passed, and Yashu had gathered a wad of fruit, and he immediately returned to drop it off.

"Did the beggar collect that much fruit?" The new disciples who served with him couldn't believe it, collecting a whole wad of fruit took at least 2-3 hours, but Yashu did it in less than half an hour.

"Hmm, this is very strange, do we need to check?"

"Of course, don't let him cheat and fill his cart with stones!"

The new disciples flocked to Yashu.

"Hey beggar, stop right there!" One of the recruits with black hair stopped Yashu who was pulling his cart, Yashu just sighed lightly and stopped.

"What is it?" Yashu asked in a flat voice.

"Heh, you bastard, how can you collect fruit so fast, we haven't even got half a cart yet, could it be that you're cheating and just want to leave the task faster!"

The young man frowned and immediately asked other students to examine the fruit cart covered in brown sacks.

After opening them all, the new disciples narrowed their eyes, it was fresh fruit without any other items.

"No way, check more closely, he might be hiding something!" Dissatisfied with what they saw, the new students unpacked the fruit cart, thinking Yashu was hiding something.
