After eating with Sarah, we were assigned a bedroom in the city lord's mansion. His mansion is very large, decorated with lights, paintings, and pieces of collections. It would almost make me want to steal it.
The room was a very sober color but appeared luxurious. A very large bed with curtains as seen in Noble families.
After a night's sleep worthy of a 5-star hotel, I hastened to go to Gerard's office. He was waiting for me with a smile on his face.
He then said to me: "So, you're ready youngster !"
"Follow me in the backyard."
During all this time I couldn't stop smiling, it was like sickly. I can not explain this excitement that rose in me like a geyser.
We finally arrive on the ground where I had bitten the dust, but I would not be fooled so easily this time.
"Youngster, I noticed that the last time before I had you wipe the dirt, you were happy, I can't tell if you're just crazy or completely ignorant. I may be an old man but I was known as the commander of the army of the city of Lorraine, Gerard Lorraine! The Fire swordsman."
"Ha, you think you can make me bite the dust like last time, know that this time I'm going full power from the start. Know that you have before you the next strongest man in the world. Don't think old scum like you can beat me so easily multiple times in a row. Know that I have already improved since our last meeting."
"You are very pretentious for an asshole of your level without experience. I must admit that you are a little stronger for your age but know that the last time, I was not even at half my strength."
"So old man, aren't you attacking me? We are afraid of a Youngster as you put it so well. Me Alex, dare you to beat me."
"Since that's what you want I'll give you a beating you'll never forget !"
'I had totally forgot we had spectators, I was letting off all the repressed emotions of fight that I wanted to do.'
I straightened my guard, while doing English boxing steps, I was preparing to give him a quick uppercut when suddenly Gerard breathed in a huge amount of air.
"Wind's Blessing 1 !"
Gerard starts accelerating towards me at breakneck speed. He had both fists back at his chest. I knew he was strong but too big a pit still separates us. I leaned on my left leg to swiftly dodge to the right, then I bent and I charged a right but Gerard dodged it immediately and an exchange of blows that could be described as incredible took place.
A little further on near the main door to the backyard which leads to the mansion are two young women, a little boy and a butler.
"Wow, I wasn't thinking Alex that hard but I noticed something Sarah, I think he was looking forward to confronting Gerard, does he seem to be enjoying this exchange?" Lise said.
"If that's you, I think I can tell you. Ever since we were children, Alex has always wanted to train and started hunting monsters very early on. Later when I joined him during his hunts, I noticed that he took pleasure in fighting, it's more than a habit, he loves it. He's what you could call a battle junkie."
Right next to the women in full discussion was Lise's young cousin, amazed by this power. He always wanted to be strong to be able to defend himself but he never would have thought that he would want to be strong just to be. He admired Gerard's strength which was obviously superior to Alex's but he couldn't help thinking that he wanted to be like Alex.
"It's amazing kid, since last time you've improved so much that I don't think it's even the same person!"
"Shouldn't you concentrate better or I'll destroy you !"
The moment I said that, I finally managed to punch him in the stomach with phenomenal power.
"Ah, well done kid, that hurt her a little, but don't think it's over!"
"Wind's Blessing 2 !"
'If he's powering up me too !'
I started to charge, then in a short time I got in form Hikari.
But what I didn't expect was that the old man's power up was on a whole new level. He first kicked me fantastically in the chest and then did an acrobatic return landing the final blow in my face.
"Ah, old man I must admit I still don't make the cut but give me two months and I'll surpass you."
"Alex, are you okay? Do you know you're a big idiot? To say that it will continue like this for several months, I can't take it anymore."
"Sorry, Sarah, I know I'm a bit finicky when it comes to fighting."
"Alex, how are you? are you really sure that you really want to continue to fight with gerard throughout our stay in lorraine?" Lise said.
"Oh, don't worry my princess, I appreciate that. you worry about me but I'll be fine."
"My Princess ? Oh, I-it's not-thing !"
"Alex, You are really strong, Could I ever become as strong as you?" Lars said.
"As strong as me, I don't know, but I'm sure you can become very strong!"
"Really ?! So can you train me?"
"For the moment I can't train you but I can give you instructions to improve, we'll discuss it again. Is it okay for you ?"
"Okay, I undestand Alex !"
It will be useful if he becomes the heir of his family.
After being treated by Sarah, I went to eat with her and we let Lise do the strategy talks with Gerard. I have to go get my money and my weights at Dhor's place.
I wonder if he was able to do everything I asked of him. We are in another world after all, it would be difficult to reproduce what I asked him.
