Lósif was in a cold sweat, he knew that after Captain José was passed out all his wounds were healed by Blanca's magic, but he still remembered what he did to the bank, he didn't want problems with this guy.
Kor— José, don't worry, they are just stupid children, this is a rural villager from some poor village, he was just surprised by the girl's beauty—
Captain José—You're right about that, after all, seeing the girl who accompanies him, the women of the village are so ugly, it's normal that a beautiful girl assaulted Blanca, but even so I won't accept a bastard like him here—
Lósif was angry when he heard how he talks about Ana, this guy is a real bastard, right now Lósif was seriously thinking about how to assassinate this fifth class captain.
Kor—José, that was a good thing for you—
Captain José—Does that explain Kor?—
Kor—Blanca must be grateful that you saved her from this child, if you don't arrive in time she would be stained by some ugly villager—
Captain José—you're right about that, I'm his savior and he'll thank me later, boy I'll let you join me here—
Lósif was grateful again for Kor, this old man who knew how to move people.
Lósif—thank you, sir—
Captain José—I have an exploration mission for you, you will complete this right now and I will train you very quickly so that you know the basics—
The old man's different emotions said it all, this was wrong for Lósif.
Kor—Joseph! This is a 10-year-old boy, the requirements are a minimum of 15 years old to start entering and you already want to send him on a mission without training—
Captain José—You didn't listen, I will train him right now and this mission is important, if they want to be knights they must fulfill and die for this—
Lósif just listened attentively to everything that was said, he was not nervous because he would accomplish the mission.
Lósif—thank you, sir, captain. When can I start?—
Captain José— Good boy, I like that character, Welcome to death, start now—
Kor just kept the words and watched as the captain guided the boy into the headquarters.
After a while.....
Lósif was serious and tired like never before, it was a very hard workout that he did and all this in 10 hours, now it was about to get dark or it was already night, I didn't know.
Training the basics of using the sword among other basic things, Captain José mentioned what he is ready and went to look for him an armor and sword to make it official to be a knight.
Lósif was still wearing the same clothes and strongly brandishing the training sword, he is sweaty and dirty like never before, the food that was given to him was only a handful of rice with a small piece of almost non-existent meat.
He calmly watched as the captain and another knight arrived, the knight was carrying armor and a small travel bag, the captain was carrying a somewhat short sword ready to be used in battle.
Captain José — Well, you did very well, knight Lósif, you are officially a knight of the kingdom of Tosiff. Feliciano! Throw away the armor for this recruit to use—
Lósif was about to thank José for his congratulations, so he heard Feliciano well, no congratulations, fatigue was playing tricks on him.
Lósif—Captain, shall I put them on?—
Knight Feliciano— Yes, do it quickly and take the sword, the mission will begin right now, here are basic things for the mission, take care of this backpack—
Lósif quickly takes all the things and uses them, he is uncomfortable because of the sweat and the iron armor, but this armor is much lighter, it is not at all similar to the iron they use, it seemed to be made of leather with stones.
Lósif—is this armor made of iron, sir?—
Both gentlemen look at each other and begin to laugh loudly and in the boy's face, humiliating him.
Captain José: Don't talk nonsense, iron is for true knights, this armor is made of leftover leather and stones that we found with great effort in the forest, do not destroy it and this sword is mine, what you will carry will be this sword (points a very rusty sword hanging above the training wall)—
Captain José—Your mission, find the person responsible for starting the fire in the forest outside the kingdom and kill him—
Knight Feliciano—the mission lasts 10 days, you must not return within that period of time or you will be expelled, even if you do not have the best equipment you are a true knight now—
Lósif nodded in response and decided to leave to complete the mission, but was stopped by the captain's voice.
Captain José—you will bring your iron sword that you have been carrying since you arrived, that sword will be from the knight headquarters, go—
Lósif froze and moved forward with angry steps to find out this impossible mission to complete.
Lósif knew it very well, he had to complete this mission in a short period of 10 days to get money, but this captain wanted to keep his iron sword that he had carried from the village, that sword had blood and remains of his family something like that. It can't be handed over to some guy.
Walking through the night heading out of the kingdom we can see a boy with leather armor and stones walking forward, lost in the thoughts he has.
The boy was emaciated, looked very discouraged and was sweating a lot, and if you were very close to the gentleman boy you would get a peculiar smell (yes, of ass).
Lósif— Well, it seems like I finally arrived, it was a long walk, but for some reason I'm still hungry—
The boy knight spoke into the air, he knew very well that now he should complete this damn mission whether he likes it or not, it is a requirement and not completing it within 10 days will result in him being expelled, something that does not make Lósif happy.
The boy had managed to reach a clearing full of burnt trees and undergrowth, he recognized it well, this place is where a few days ago he showed off Ana's new fireball spell, but it got out of his control and resulted in a fire.
Observing the knight we can say that he is seeing the surroundings, this forest is outside the kingdom of Tosiff and where the woodcutters came now becomes a lonely place, it seems that they lost their job again because of some evil necromancer.
Lósif— Necromancer or necromancer, I love the second necromancer more, it reminds me of a strange necro-dead thing, I like it—
The knight boy talks to the shadow alone about the best form for a necromancer's name or what sounds coolest.
The boy knows very well that he is sweaty and very dirty and must be looking for a lake, but he remembers that when he arrived at this forest he was not able to explore it with Ana and look for a lake.
Now is a good opportunity to explore this forest and maybe the mission could not be completed unless some unfortunate devil appears.
Lósif — I hope everything goes well, I'll go find a lake —
The boy knight advanced to the depths of the forest and when he arrived he calmly observed a wall of wire and wood, it was somewhat burned but nevertheless it is serving as a divider for the path.
