The Reincarnation of the Red Dragon
08. New Style

The two boys standing next to Gary came forward. Gary reached out his hand to stop them.

"I can beat him myself" Gary said.

Gary took off his sword that was stuck to his waist and threw it on the floor.

"Not using a gun" Gary said.

"Good" I replied.

I took off my sword and threw it on the floor as well. I'm glad that Garry suggested not using a weapon and fighting with sister.

Even when I was a dragon, I made a policy not to kill children. The kids are so innocent. It is the adults who make the children go the wrong way.

"I can do this," I thought to myself, I've never won against my father but it's my first time fighting someone my age.

I decided to attack first. I threw my fist at his face, Gary retorted and avoided the blow. He then grabbed my hand and pulled my body towards him and hit me with all his might. My head was thrown back and my nose was bleeding.

The two boys behind Gary started laughing. I looked towards Amy and could see she had a sad expression on her face. He blamed himself for what happened, but it was not his fault because it was human nature like this.

Gary was waiting for me to move again, he reminded me of that damn practice doll. I threw another punch at him. As Gary moved to avoid the blow, I used the momentum to twist my body and perform an axe kick.

Gary had blocked the kick with both of his arms just in time. Then Gary disappeared from my sight. He was under me and swept my feet. I fell to the floor as he kicked me in the stomach. The fight is over I lost. I couldn't stand after being hit by that kick.

Gary went to pick up his belongings and started walking away with his sister and friends. He turned around to say his last words.

"You've been trained by your father and you're still useless, you better do what you can and don't push yourself."

I stayed there lying on the street, the pain had gone but I couldn't help but think about her words. Those words have been embedded in my head.

*****

Gary and Amy had arrived home safely, her sister began to complain. Explain that Ray did nothing wrong, however he approached her.

"I'm just looking for you Amy, there's nothing good about someone who has a red curse" Gary explained.

"I hate you" Amy shouted.

The bearing itself had been completely destroyed. The metal has two large dents in it the size of a baseball.

"That must have happened from that axe kick. The fight was more terrifying than I thought."

If he did not wear this protector, his kick would break his arm. Ray will win that fight. What Ray also doesn't realize is that Ray really thinks very well in a fight. If he thought someone else his age in the village other than Gary, he would win easily.

Gary had been training to become a knight ever since he was born. He practices every day just like Ray does. He dreams of one day getting him and his family out of a bad situation.

*****

I decided to return home after a fight with Gary. I actually lost to someone my age. I need to change something.

I can't keep doing the same thing over and over again. When Gary said those last few words to me, it gave me an idea. He said "to do something I'm good at," Ray thought hard after the fight, what should I do.

A few weeks have passed since the quarrel with Gary. I have often returned to the top of the hill to practice new ideas. Every time I go, I'll see Amy sitting there by the tree.

We both talked about a lot of things and decided to forget the previous one. He said that his brother would not bother him anymore.

I don't know if he's telling the truth or not because he often goes to check to see if anyone is looking or coming towards us.

I went back to the barn and was ready to face the doll again. After working hard for a week I tried to test if all the hard work was worth it.

I went to the wooden doll and said "Level 1". Purple light surrounded the wooden puppet and it was the beginning of our battle.

A few seconds later a Purple light surrounded the doll again and said

"Level 1 Pass"

I was sweating, not from physical exhaustion but mental exhaustion. If this new fighting style doesn't work, I don't know what to do. I went to the back of the doll again and put my hand on it.

"Level 2" I'm ready to see just how far this body's bound is.
