"Alright, alright. I'll teach you how to use the sword properly."
"Really?" Little Sigurd jumped in joy with his hands clenched and punched the sky.
"Oh, but don't expect you to be my student!"
"Good Senior! I will try even harder and become your disciple!" sigurd said with snot coming in and out of his nostrils.
It was so disgusting in the eyes of that man. But somehow he didn't mind it so much and thought that little Sigurd was an attractive boy.
"Then we start training! Take your fighting position!"
"Yes senior!"
Little Sigurd finally earned a place in the heart of one of the powerful team members he idolized. It went on for about almost a year he stuck with the 21 members he idolized and managed to get close to one of them. Even though it had only learned the most basic thing from using the sword, he was so happy and grateful as well.
At the age of 11 years, little Sigurd managed to apply a strong sword base, and it will make it easier for him to hone other sword techniques in the future. It was all thanks to the teachings of his senior, Ozzi.
He continued to practice his sword technique and continued to stick with the muscular man. Hopefully one day he gets the opportunity to become his student and be taught his powerful techniques.
But one day he lost his senior existence. Little Sigurd wondered where the group that usually came to take the mission in the adventurer guild. They did not return and it was little Sigurd always waiting for their return in the adventurer guild hall.
"Did they meet with difficult missions? Why is this time so long? Not as usual." He kept thinking about the group's departure.
He kept waiting and started to let go of his senior Ozzi and tried to train his own sword technique. Then he entered an age where it was enough for a child to perform a talent test in the spirit level.
Along with other children of his age, little Sigurd attended the test and got a pretty good position and could have been accepted if enrolled in the Lynford academy. But he insisted and managed to convince his father that he only wanted to become an adventurer. He wanted to live freely and not be bound by rules like academy rules and the like.
And that was how he ended up becoming a fairly successful adventurer. And become an adventurer with a blue badge at forty years old.
Unfortunately, he was so unable to break through the promotion of the red-planned adventurer. It required him to complete ten dungeons with the lowest difficulty level of the tiger level!
At that vulnerable age, the slowly aging Sigurd has no confidence in being able to. And also many team members who have always been with him so far many choose to retire. In the end he was about to retire, but surprisingly Robert who was then the leader of the adventurer guild handed the position to Sigurd. It was because of the close relationship that had between the two.
Robert is also a childhood friend of Sigurd's father. Robert believed Sigurd would be able to replace him. Given his age that already did not know when it reached its limit, and he was also in pain. That's the end of the story that happened to little Sigurd who has now turned into Old Man Sigurd.
The muscular man cheerfully took the cup without thinking and forgot the consequences of his disrespect.
"You're so enjoying the reunion and forgetting who you are right now" Akio said.
Ozzi had not had time to drink it, the cup broke and the tea water spilled into the muscular man's hands and then wet his clothes.
"Master, I'm sorry."
Ozzi wavered and became silent after feeling he had done something wrong again.
"Senior, I don't know what the purpose of your coming to this place is anymore. And what kind of relationship do you have with this young man. I won't find out for that" Old Man Sigurd said. Then he poured the five small cups back with the same tea.
"Only, I beg of you not to do anything that would harm this place. If that happens I will be forced to stop you, Senior."
"Oh? Can you?" Ozzi threw a mocking look at the old man. "Look, just stand up maybe you've had a hard time, Sigurd." Then he tekkeh slowly.
"Senior underestimated me too much. Even so I still have eighty percent of my vitality as an adventurer who has a blue badge."
"Well, enough for the size of an old man who's already at the end of his grace period. However, you won't be strong enough to even hurt me despite being in top shape, brat Sigurd!"
"Yes, you're right." The old man did not take heart from Ozzi's words. He actually enjoyed this conversation that seemed contradictory.
"So, because it looks like this young man is the one who decides in the end. I ask you once again, which side are you coming this time?"
"Chairman Sigurd please calm down, we don't mean to be hostile to the government. I can guarantee that" said Mavis.
"Thank God."
Old Man Sigurd took a deep breath and exhaled. He felt his burden that had been thinking about the worst possible sudden appearance of a powerful figure coming from the past.
With the state of the current generation already declining in ability level as well as talent scarcity, it would be terrifying to imagine such a person as strong as his senior becoming an enemy of this kingdom! Not to mention if it was along with their 21 full team members! Just thinking about it had already made the old man break out in a cold sweat!
In fact, Alice who was already holding a red badge alone would probably have a hard time fighting one of them! Just imagine, it happened a few tens of years ago and at that time they already had red and purple badges, what about now? Their strength would be so terrifying and far beyond the common sense of an ordinary human!
