Youth Knight
I'm a Knight? VII

___

I limp down to Adry. "A-Adry, thank you."

Adry's embrace brought me into the house, where I was getting treatment despite not sustaining any serious injuries. We were in the main room, where I stood sculpting, pondering Donovan's words.

Why is he so envious of me just because I became a knight?

Is this what Adry meant when he talked about the dignity of a noble?

Adry went to the kitchen. "What's wrong?" I asked, but he didn't hear it.

He came back with warm tea and gave me a glass of warm tea.

Grabbing the glass with both hands and starting to sip. "Thank you Adry."

"By the way, who are they?" I asked, curious.

"Donovans? He's one of Mr. Adipram's knights, how could you not

knew?" Adry replied, surprised.

"Of course not, I don't pay too much attention to others."

Then Adry explains, "Donovan comes from the Resia family. His father, Bien Resia was a baron in the Sernia region, and if it's not wrong, he had power in Ataren village."

Adry put his cup on the table, got up to open the window, then sat back down.

"I've known his family since before I became a knight. They were good people, but Donovan was different. I have witnessed what he does - he bullies, insults, and belittles others. At that time I was just preventing him but I didn't expect him to continue doing the same."

He sipped his warm tea again. " Somehow he could become a knight.I guess he was just playing around with his vow."

When Adry finished the story, I felt grateful to have a friend like him, and for the warmth of the tea that seemed to drive away the cold that perched in my heart.

The archery session has finished, master Pier advised me to train longer than the other knights.

The end result was good enough for me, even if only a few shots hit the target.

I walked around the hallway of the barracks after I finished practicing archery intending to return. Again I saw Donovan and his more numerous accomplices than ever before looking down from the end of the hallway.

Shortly after, Adry caught up with me, seeing what I saw next to me.

Adry looked furious because of their behavior, his gaze continued to look towards Donovan who was standing at the end of the hall, as if challenging Adry. Meanwhile, I just kept staring blankly at them, feeling uneasy and worried within me.

My fear grew as they walked up to us, looking with a sharp and cynical look. It was as if I was the prey of a bloodthirsty tiger.

"Hey master hero and master loser" said Donovan in the back of his plot. "Adry, you've been dealing with the wrong guy. After I brought a lot of people, I'm sure you're currently scared in your heart and sorry 'Why I deal with Mr. Donovan the heebaaatttt."

"Say it in front of me, I can't hear it from here." Adry what are you doing! you provoked them!? I have to get help!

Then Adry, who was looking at them, said to me. "You have to fight him Arezha. You are a knight of what kind who cannot defend himself" said Adry clenched his hand.

Can I fight them? I've never even fought!

"What a boast you said, Adry! Hit them!" They're gonna beat us up!

I feel so small in front of them, what should I do? Should I get out of here? While Adry stays by my side.

I have to be brave, I have to fight this fear.

They immediately attacked us, but in reality I saw Adry knocking one by one of them with his bare hands.

One of Donovan's gangs targeted me, beat me up a few times and I tried to get back at him. I hit it! I hit! but as if nothing had happened, he retaliated with a blow to my chest.

I learned something else in this fight... Don't be happy until you actually win.

Adry kicked him and helped me stand up... "Fight!" shout Adry.

We serve the same master, but why do they attack us out of envy and envy.

We received each other and took back blows, I didn't realize the pain of the adrenaline racing in my body.

Until finally my body was exhausted, just watching Adry protect myself from the front.

The bruises on my body started to look and start to hurt. This is my limit... I have to be stronger than this.

Both Kami and Donovan's gang were on the verge, Donovan clicked her tongue, saying, "Damn you Adry! next time I'll completely finish you off!" Donovan's plotters just laughed cynically, humbling us . In the end, however, he walked away and left us.

But Adry shouted, "Not another time, everything will end now!" So Donovan looked back at us, saw Adry running after Donovan's gang. Adry ignores his plot and encourages them, aiming only at Donovan until Donovan arrives, strangling him with one hand. "Damn it! What are you doing, let go!" Donovan.

Then Adry picked up the heavy-looking Donovan. The plot is not only quietly trying to help Donovan by beating Adry, but Adry does not care and remains unmoved.

After lifting him up, Adry slammed Donovan to the ground so loudly that it sounded Donovan screaming in pain making his accomplice stop silently beating, they might be horrified at this time.

A laid-back Donovan attempts to take Adry's grip off of him. "Aadry! I'll report what you did to my family!" said Donovan who grimaced in pain lying on the ground.

Adry takes his grip off the collar of Donovan's clothes and grabs Donovan and says, "Oh huh? I'm so curious, let's see which one's faster, my fist or your family." He punched Donovan hard in the face.

Donovan was seen giving a fight, lashing out a blow limply. Some of Donovan's gangs left him.

I was horrified to see Adry become violent like that, approaching him slowly.

Adry said angrily and his punch continued, while Donovan could only surrender to Adry's attack. "Who cares about you! Fuck your position! Fuck your family! Fuck yourself! You're a bastard! You are only the son of a baron, but your pride is like the ruler of heaven and earth!"

Adry continued to raise his fist, even though Donovan was unconscious.

I held Adry's shoulder from behind. "Already Adry, he's unconscious."

Adry took his grip off Donovan.

Some of Donovan's remaining conspirators just froze to see it, feeling the terror given by Adry.

They were filled with visible cuts and bruises on the face. They were silent and looked doubtful.

"What are you looking at damn! What's with your arrogance now that I thought you guys were God's messengers!? Come fight me till the end of the bastards! " call Adry.

If I were in their current position, maybe I would feel a great fear for Adry.

I feel lucky to be Adry's friend and not her enemy.
