"Hey, I was watching that whole part you know. I was ready to jump in and save your lives if you were unable to handle it." Harry's form came into view from behind the general, stunning everyone.
The general turned and saw Harry grinning and standing there casually. Then Victor looked back at Dave, disbelief in his eyes.
"See.... I told you, he is a lunatic." Dave said matter of factly.
Everyone bowed to Harry. The old duke also inclined his head in respect.
"What are you doing her? Don't tell me you are still following and testing us?" Alan asked in a somewhat suspecious tone.
"No lad I was passing by, when I heard the commotion and came her. Only to see that you had already taken care of it." Harry announced.
Your grace, my lady. Harry bowed to the old duke and his daughter in law.
The boys after thoroughly checking around and healing the injured soldiers, bowed to them also.
The old duke Smiled, " No need to bow lads, please raise. You lads saved all of our lives today. No need to be so formal. Both the women by his side also node in agreement smiling warmly at the boys.
"Master Harry, you had trained your deciples well, however they have a lot of catching up to do if they want to achieve greatness like you in the future." Victor said in awe of the person he admired the most.
Harry let out a hearty laughter. "Victor, my friend, you are wrong. These deciples of mine had already surpassed me a long while ago. Now I am the one who is doing the catching up here. Why do you think I am in these woods? Its to make sure that I am not left behind by these deciples of mine."
There was a fond look on Harry's face when he looked at the boys stating the fact. Everyone except Lilly were taken aback and stunned by Harry's statement. They had never thought of seeing someone who had surpassed the great wepons master Harry. And now they were informed of six teens, who had already achieved this feat.
Let me intoduce my deciples properly, your grace. Harry walked towards the boys and turned to face the old duke and the others.
He is my deciple no.6 Christopher, exceptional swordsman, archer, dual blade weilder, exceptional hand to hand combat specialist, and most importantly the second best healer I had seen in my entire life. I believe you had already witnessed his, aah... handy work I mighy say. Harry grinned looking at the now unconscious mercenary leader, making the boys laugh.
No.5. Bobby. Same as Chris here and even a bit powerful fighter. A great economist instead of a great healer. Don't underestimate his healing ability though, you can say he is in my top 20 healers list and top 10 economist list. He is good at music too...
No. 4, Benjamin. Same as my Bob here. Excellent in all thoses as him but he is a bit of serious kind. Harry grinned mischievously.
No.3 David. Excellent dual weapon wielder, great swordsman, archer, hand to hand combat specialist, great economist. He will be in the top 5 of my list. Great artist, exceptional painter and a good healer to the boot like Bob and Ben here. And most of all his senses of humor is out of this world. Just a step behind me in that aspect. Victor had tasted it right? Harry grinned wickedly leaving Victor in an embarrassed state. Making the boys snicker.
By the way I am not sure about which family they belong to. So I let them decide whether they are Morgan's or Heathrow's. Harry laughed genuinely, earning him a glare from Rose." They are my brothers. Everyone belongs to my " He doesn't mean any insult Rose. He is genuinely wanting to know about it since past 4 years but failing to do this simple task."
After showing a genuine smile towards Rose, Harry continued again. "And now, my deciple No.2, Williams Morgan. As you already know, he is from the Morgan family and John's grandson. Unparalleled in dual axe wielding, great swordsman, great in archery, exceptional in hand to hand combat. Excellent musician and the fourth best healer i know after Helen Morgan. And he might even overtake her in a few years.
This statement left everyone in shock. Is Harry saying, Helen as number 3 in his healers list? If that is true, then Is Chris better than her. And who is the best healer as per master Harry's assessment?
As if knowing what everyone else were thinking, Harry smiled and noded his head in confirmation and continued. " Yes Chris is a much more powerful healer than Helen Morgan and he is also one of her prodigy.
"But the main part about Williams is, he is an excellent economist. Contending with Alan here and with Mr. Miller of the merchant's guild for the top economist position." Harry patted Williams shoulder proudly.
What!!? Mr. Miller? Samuel asked in awe. For which Harry noded.
And Now, my No.1 deciple and even the other five can't argue about this, Harry looked at Alan and went to his side, placing his hand on his shoulder." Alan Morgan. Grandson of Helen and Alec Morgan, He is exceptional in everything. And the No. 1 healer I have ever seen in this kingdom or I should say, even outside this kingdom. He had actually invoked his healing magic at the age of 12.....
Duke and his family gawked at this statement by Harry.
The next statement took their shock to the next level, " He is a true sword master. Better than me or even my mentor. I can even claim he is an "Unrivaled Sword Master" of this kingdom.
There was a dead silence in the clearing.
