The Story of the Brave Warrior
5: PROMISE

...Episodes 10...

RADEN..

I went down to the arena to see the condition of Avior that I hit earlier.

"hey sorry yeah"

I stretched out my hand to help Avior stand up, he then grabbed it.

"sorry before."

"It's okay the name is also a match, how old are you?."

He asked me my age, maybe because I looked young, it was better to say it honestly.

"me, 15 years."

"What's?.. You're younger than me."

She said in disbelief as she approached me, she noticed because she could not believe that I was 15 years old.

"For a kid like you you're so great."

"Hehe..Thanks."

"..."

I then came back, Adam was waiting for me but there was Viktor behind him.

"good yeah."

Adam congratulated me on my victory.

I just kept quiet and looked at Viktor.

"you.want to say if we're going to duel, I know how."

"yes without saying it you would have known, but I'm here for another purpose"

What is he planning, does he want to fight outside the arena so that you can bring out my mystical powers?.

"Another goal.what are you planning to do."

"just a deal, I'm asking you not to use your mystical powers in the fight later."

"Just son, I refuse."

"Just be calm, don't be afraid, nor will I use my mystical powers.

so we'll both fight with physical strength without mystical powers."

Then it really doesn't matter if only fighting with physical strength isn't mystical power.

but I hesitated a little, Adam slapped my shoulder, he smiled, like he wanted to say if I should take it.

"alright if that's what you want, I agree."

"Deal!!."

"..."

Viktor then walked away.

"why is he with you?"

"there's nothing."

"i was just waiting for you here and then Viktor came here as well when you won this match.

"initially I didn't know the reason he came here I understood after he told you."

Adam's face before I spoke to Viktor, he was a little depressed, I could feel it, even though Adam himself said it.

"You're lying!!!.but well I want to rest first."

I wonder what Adam talked about with Viktor, I think Adam was threatened, Adam himself said if Viktor was on par with Viktor on an adventurous level. But I think Viktor is stronger than Adam.

He's a little wary..

"...."

I then looked for a bathroom to urinate.it had circled to look for it because it did not know its place, until I passed a place, suddenly a janitor yelled at me.

"Heiii what are you doing.aahhh you're soiling the floor again."

"I'm sorry I was lost..."

"you see the yellow sign there."

I looked in the direction that person pointed out, it was a marker of why I didn't realize it.

"Yes, it's a slippery floor that's being cleaned."

"Sorry, I'm actually here looking for a toilet."

"Bad.. Toilet's coming over here you just need to be straight and then there's a place on top of it that says, Public toilet."

"Good thanks a lot.. Sorry

it's been bothering."

"Be careful don't step on it again."

"OK."

He was fierce as well, it was only natural that the hard work he had destroyed by others just like that.

considering I used to sell my pen, at that time I was prohibited from selling by market thugs because I did not give money to sell in their territory. Naturally the market place should have belonged to the village chief and we had already obtained a permit.

But Siti's mother stopped me and gave money to them, after which we could sell safely.I initially disagreed and was annoyed. But rather than not causing trouble it was better to comply with their request.

"..."

After I was done with the business with the little one, I went back through the same path and met that person again, but there was someone else with him.

"excuse me."

Oh.. I'm sorry Mr. Raden for my rudeness."

"What.???"

how could he know my name, plus they were both a little scared.

"Sorry what this is.."

"I'm sorry before, I don't know if you're a fighter in this tournament."

"I'm sorry my friend."

So that's it, they're both scared because of it, it looks like her friend told her that I'm a fighter after I'm yelled at by her.

"it doesn't matter, I'm wrong to walk around the cleaned floor, so I'm sorry."

"excuse me."

I immediately left them, why would a fighter like me be feared by them, different from the audience who cheered us with joy.

Well, I don't really care....

*i will be a good hero and will help everyone*

I remember my dream first.

Obviously I should care..

I'll be right back to them.

"actually what happened."

"There's nothing."

Answer it honestly!!!.

"Agh...!!!".

"well, we'll say it"

Don't be afraid, I don't intend to hurt you, I'm a little worried about what's really going on here.

"so actually, this has been going on for a long time, though,

the tournament fighters are very arrogant, they do it arbitrarily, we used to remind them not to mess up, but they never listen to us even beat us up."

"yes that's right, only lately they have not been acting anymore.

but we're still scared and vigilant."

After hearing the story just now, it seemed like they were afraid of the Tournament warriors, this was only natural, given the human nature that would always be arrogant and greedy, he said, they think because they are stronger than these people they have power.

"so I understand but I'm different from them, don't worry about me, I won't do any trouble."

"..."

"You're a good boy, why are you here?."

"I..

I'm here because I'm interested in this tournament, also to get the money for sure, plus I'm here to test where my strength has gone."

"I heard you were 15 years old."

"that's right."

After hearing my confession, they looked surprised, could not believe that if I was young, I hope that my face is still a child not an adult face, wait did I grow a beard?.

"what.. You're young but you're that strong."

"who are you training with?."

"where are you from?."

"of course I was trained by my teacher, I was born in the village of sluth, the village is in the west."

"sluth village..? the name is a little foreign but it seems like it's far away."

"Did you really come all the way to join this tournament."

"No, it's a coincidence, I'm an actual adventurer, so I got this information while adventuring."

"oh.."

"I'm not a bad person, I have a dream to be a hero who will defeat the demon king someday."

It feels cool to say my dream to defeat the demon lord, we all know that the demon lord is the ruler of these 2 worlds. The human world and the demon world.

"you will defeat the demon king... Promise me..."

"??"

"Please promise to avenge my brother someday!!."

"i promise, I'll see you.. Oh don't forget to watch my match later ok."

I then left that place, actually I got a little information about the war against the demon lord, just imagine, the vast world, where it might be possible to send letters from various continents. It must be very difficult especially out there must be a lot of monsters.

seeing him say that to me, his anger was conveyed by me, I will go to another continent to fight monsters to become stronger In order to defeat the demon lord someday.

that's my promise to all the good people of the human world and the demon world..

**hero will be born**
