"Marysville, you…you're not planning to approach that boy and ask him for marriage, right?" Luis hesitates asking Marysville the question.
Is he out of his mind…did he really think I'd ask him for marriage just because I was quite interested in him. Marysville looks at Luis in confusion.
"Brother, have you gone… insane?"
"..." Luis approaches Marysville. "Look Marysville, I know you are about to reach the right age for marriage, but please don't just go around picking some random guy to marry."
He's not just some 'random guy' you know.
"Marysville…" Luis looks at Marysville with a pleading face.
"I'M STILL FIFTEEN!!!" Marysville's eyebrows are frowning and twitching hearing Luis' nonsense and useless.
I hate this… why do I have to say that out loud knowing I'm literally older than them...mentally.
Marysville decided to walk away leaving Luis behind as he found the conversation nonsense.
Wandering around the training ground, Marysville noticed the people gathering around the ring.
The ring is about a thousand square meters big and 3ft tall surrounded by a bunch of people looking at the two people fighting inside the ring.
With curiosity, Marysville went to look.
There–, Marysville saw a young lady with a reddish hair color dashing towards an oxford blue haired young man.
The young man blocked the attack made by the young lady, he then pushed her resulting for the young lady to get thrown mid air and landed half standing. Before the young lady could stand, the young man dashed towards the young lady and pointed his pistol right in her temple.
With this, the winner of the challenge is determined.
"THE CHALLENGER WINS AGAIN!!!" A shout from a mic
"Man…that young lad won again." They signed out of frustration.
"I even put all my bets on the young lady, but she got defeated anyway." Brushing their hair back and forth.
"NOW, WHO'S INTERESTED FIGHTING THIS MAN AND WIN THIS ARTIFACT!!! JUST RAISE YOUR HAND AND GET UP HERE IN THE RING." The announcer raised a green looking crystal.
Marysville is quite shocked to see the artifact.
Seeing that stone made her start to glimpse at her past.
That stone, I've seen that plenty of time back when I played the game.
That stone is originally from the headmaster's Treasury, it's used as an identification of a general…or should I say… the higher ups position, a position greatly higher than general.
The higher ups directly take orders from the headmaster herself unlike the generals who take orders via letters or transmitters.
So why the hell is that stone here-...wait… I just remembered. That guy with dark blue hair-… I got it now, no wonder he looks so familiar.
This is not just merely a friendly sparring or training, this is a selection for a new owner of that stone "sapphire", and back in my past when I was still playing the game, the owner of the stone happens to be-… the blonde guy I saw on my way here, his name was, Asher.
"There's no way someone still wants to challenge that man, his strength itself looks like it matches the strength of a general." Said the strangers.
Just when the crowd was about to give up, a young man with blonde hair suddenly raised his hand and went up inside the ring.
Marysville who's watching this can't help but feel shocked as she sees the young man raising his hand to challenge the dark blue haired guy for an artifact.
"Isn't that blonde boy…the young man you were looking at awhile ago?" Said Luis.
"..." Marysville took a glance at Luis.
Looking at the blonde young man, Marysville simply stood among the crowds silently cheering for him deep inside.
Slowly stepping inside the ring, the young man draws his sword standing still.
"Can a sword win a fight with a gun?" Said the blue haired man.
"Does it matter what weapon to use?."
"No…" The young man smirked. "Let us begin…"
Asher took a step back, bending his body in front positioning his sword by his side and pointing the sharp edges by his side, he gripped at the handle and dashed towards the dark blue haired man leaving a trace of wind behind.
"He's fast." Said Marysville.
CLANG!
The blade of the young blonde boy meets the gun of the challenger.
The challenger grabbed the gun that was in his left side and pointed into the young blonde boy's head and shot.
Due to good reflexes, the blonde boy manages to dodge it with no effort, he returns to his stance and resolves to land another attack, but before he could do it, the challenger has already points his gun to the young blonde boy's head.
The young blonde boy's eyes windend as he was shocked to see a gun pointing right in his head. He immediately took a step back before the challenger could pull the trigger.
BANG!
"Heh… Nice reaction." The challenger smirks.
That was close… The young blonde boy glance at his enemy awkwardly.
The young blonde boy dashed towards the challenger again, but this time, he's heading towards the challenger's side.
The challenger glance at the young blonde boy having one of his gun following the location where the young blonde boy runs. The challenger pulled the trigger and shots the young blonde boy.
CLANG!
The young blonde boy did not dodge it this time but simply block it from hitting him using his sword. He suddenly dashed towards the challenger giving the challenger a heavy kick, aiming from the right side of his neck trying to knock him down.
The challenger blocked it using the back of his hand as a shield, his eyebrows twitched feeling the pain of the kick. Staring the young blonde boy dead in the eye. He tried pointing his gun attempting to shot him in the torso.
The blonde boy suddenly let go of his sword and yanked the gun to point it up before the challenger could pull the trigger, resulting in it to free the bullet through the midair. The blonde boy then let go of the gun and grabbed the challenger by the collar.
The challenger was quite shocked by the sudden grab. The young blonde boy then turns, showing his back to the enemy and throws him on the floor, resulting in the young blonde boy to top the challenger, he then grabs his sword pointing it to the throat.
"Why not finish me off…" The challenger smirks at him.
"I could say the same thing to you-... Why not pull the trigger?..." The young blonde boy looks at his enemy seriously.
Turns out-... Despite the position the challenger is currently in, he still manages to point his gun to the blonde boy's throat.
"WHOA!!!" The crowds shouted in satisfaction.
"What an intense fight…"
"Man… It was like watching an action movie."
The blonde boy got up to his position and offered the challenger a hand.
"Kind as ever, Asher…" the dark blue haired young man smiled sweetly to Asher.
Luis was quite shocked seeing that the blonde boy is not just some random guy with a pretty face, but someone with a capability to fight someone who's said to have match the strength of a general.
Luis glanced at Marysville. Marysville is on her way out of the crowd heading somewhere.
"Where are you going?" Said Luis.
"Back to the car…" Marysville continues to walk as she utters the words.
Luis silently followed Marysville behind.
