After the exhausting time passed, the afternoon was changed by night. In the forest with the dark sky filled with shining stars. A bonfire wrongly warms the body from the cold of the night. Fireflies decorate that beautiful evening, with happy smiles etched on their faces while enjoying a good meal.
A meat from the large purple chicken that they had defeated, they used to fill their empty stomachs. Grilled chicken meat with sauce dabbed all over the meat, making a tantalizing fragrance.
" Sister Xi is really great. Chicken roast brother Xi is the best! " Say Aiko excitedly ate the cooked roasted chicken, praising Xi's excellent cuisine. Different from ordinary people in general.
" Hey hey, I know you want to compliment Sister Xi's cooking... At least, swallow the one in your mouth just spoke. " Say Katashi while remembering that overzealous Aiko.
" Brother Xi, your cooking is very good. Did you learn from a chef who's famous for cooking this delicious? " Anya asked Xi while enjoying the meal.
Xi just shook his head. It seemed that he did not want to talk while he was eating something. It had become his habit, who did not like to talk while he was eating. And prefer to answer every question someone by shaking his head or nodding.
" How about we finish our food. After that we can continue the conversation. " Say Yu suggested to all of them to finish the food they were eating first. According to him, it is not polite to ask something to someone who is cool to enjoy the food he eats. What's more, now they also eat the cuisine made by the person.
Hearing that from Yu, they agreed to finish their meal. After they finished their meal, they continued with a small chat before they went to sleep.
The tent was built with monster skin that they had cleaned. And everyone slept in separate tents, with men and women in different tents. At that time everyone was asleep, resting their tired bodies from fighting all day.
Except for Xi. He has not slept and prefers to stay awake outside. As he was standing guard outside the tent, someone came over to him.
" You haven't slept, Tota? " Task Xi to the person. Who was none other than Tota who was his party partner.
" Yes that's how it is... I can't sleep today. " Tota said while shaking his head. Then he also held his head.
" And then... What do you want? Looking at your behavior, you seem confused about yourself. What the hell is it? " Tanya Xi was watching Tota during this evening at dinner. Unlike usual who often quarrel with Airis and Aiko. Today he behaved strangely and not as normally as fierce as a tiger.
" Hehehe got caught huh... Nothing seems to be hidden from you. " Say Tota while scratching his non-itchy head. While laughing grinningly. He looked at his hands at that moment while remembering all the exercises he had done while still in his family's residence when he was a child. At that time, he trained very hard to fulfill the wishes of his family. " All this time... I feel like I have become someone strong. With the strenuous exercise I did every day before until now, considering myself the best among the best. " Say Tota recounted the feelings he had been through all this while remembering his struggle.
Tota clenched his hands tightly with a look full of confidence. Then he loosened his fist, and continued his story "I feel myself to have been the strongest in my generation and continue to gain an easy victory, praise, and appreciation. However, after I met, for the first time I felt fear. " Subsequently Tota.
" Looking at you who are so strong, I feel that what I have achieved all this time is nothing in front of you. I felt that it was just a meaningless arrogance right now. As the successor of the blue Tiger Clan I am too weak and too arrogant. I was too quickly satisfied with what I had achieved. "
" When you fight against monsters - powerful monsters even monsters that I can't defeat, you can defeat them. I began to realize how weak I was. I want to be strong to make my family proud, I want to be strong to protect my family... " Next and begin to clench his hands back with a sharp gaze, with a powerful aura like a tiger that rules a forest. " That's why, please accept my request to guide me. I want to practice with you. " Say Tota while bowing. Begging Xi to train herself to be stronger to protect what she cares about.
Hearing all that from Tota Xi could only stand still while glancing at the bowed Tota. With a sharp look in his eyes yet with an incredulous expression he muttered in his heart. " The young master of a large noble family of the blue Tiger Clan, as well as the chairman of this party. He willingly bowed and pleaded with someone to train him. It was only the first time I saw a young master from a noble family lower his pride for this. He's really interesting. " Murmurm. To think like that was extremely difficult for a young master of a noble family if they were unaware of their own weaknesses. However, unlike most young masters in general. Tota has a different perspective. From the very beginning they met, Tota never prided herself as a young master of a large family and again boasted of being the heir of the family leader.
They both took a place far enough from their tents for fear of disturbing the sleep of colleagues. After finding a suitable place, as bright as they prepare to take their respective positions. Tota with her blue tiger human form is ready to attack Xi at any time.
The two stared at each other sharply. The wind blows bring the cold. The leaves began to fly because of the wind. The leaves that fly past them.
When one of the leaves fell to the ground, the two of them shot at each other quickly and gave a powerful blow to each other. Two powerful blows collided with each other, causing strong gusts of wind and destroying the ground they were on.
From that first blow, Tota was struck back several meters from where he was. In his mind, he could not believe that Xi had such a powerful blow. The Physical Strength of Xi was not playful, and was different as before when they had only met for the first time.
" His ability to hide all this time? " Murm Tota in his heart with a bung. Xi once said he was an Assassin. And it was impossible for an Assassin to have a physique stronger than a Fighter.
Just as he was thinking that, Xi suddenly appeared before him without him noticing in the slightest. Xi's red eyes were extremely sharp. And he gave a powerful kick towards Tota to make Tota was blown away.
Tota fell due to a powerful kick from Xi. However, he was still able to stand back up, and darted towards Xi and attacked him in a row. Tota's punch is very strong with flow by blue electricity that overlays his punch. But Xi can avoid that easily.
Tota who attacked Xi with his Fist back then did not hit Xi. And it made an opportunity for Xi to retaliate against Tota's attack with a powerful blow that sent Tota crashing back.
The tota that was blown away looked at Xi back with a face full of sweat from being tired. " You... Attacked me when I weakened my strength... This brother is a little cheating. " Tota said while wiping his sweat.
" In mena section I committed fraud? Many of your attacks did not hit me, but I did not attack you back. Why did I attack you when you lowered your strength? " Said Xi calmly as she looked at Tota from a distance. " That's because you won't have a chance to increase your strength and at that time your defense will weaken. " Subsequently Xi. He explains why he did this.
" If we're talking about physical strength, then you're superior to me. If I serve you with a blow, I can be sure I am the loser. You're a beast-type fighter... Your strength is stronger than ordinary petarunh. If I think of you as an ordinary fighter, then that would be my biggest mistake. " Said Xi.
Hearing that coming out of Xi's mouth, just fell silent as he opened his eyes wide without blinking. He also understood why Xi did not continue to fight with him after the first blow they did. Back then, Xi had already realized his strength and instantly kept a distance from him while dodging every single one of his attacks.
" It turns out so... He's already planned this. " Tota said in his heart. He understood what Xi was doing. " Okay, let's continue! " Tota said excitedly. His eyes were clean and shining that night.
Xi who saw that, he was a little surprised. Although he only had a cold expression, he could not hide his surprise. " Something is different from Tota. Now his aura is different from before. " Murm Xi in his heart. Although he acted cold, but in his heart he smiled happily when he saw that. Right now he was seeing something different from the previous Tota." You can also, Tota. "
With a cold look he said "I understand, let's move on. " Say her coldly with her red, wronged eyes.
" Yes, I will not hesitate. " Reply with a smile.
The two continued their fight that night with a fierce fight. The magic energy emanating from their bodies both caused a strong gust of wind to make the leaves of the tree fly.
