WAR-Destiny Of Future 126 Chapter 118 - This And That.

"Itsu, I never thought you would actually agree to join us." said Seito, a bit concerned about Itsuki.

"Well... I'm interested to know more about Dracula, so..." said Itsuki, a bit uncertain.

"I understand that. But you do realize that we are going to partic.i.p.ate a battle arena tournament, right?" said Seito with a waving of emotion.

"Yes, I know. And... I'm not sure if I could do this or not. But..." said Itsuki, rather worried.

"But you still want to join us?" said Seito, with a rather firm att.i.tude.

"Yes."

"I see. I shall help you in this matter, I guess."

"Brother Kenji..."

"Let's have a match tomorrow morning, shall we?" said Seito, in a serious tone.

"Mmm."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning. Seito is looking for Sky to ask if he has the permission to use the training room with Itsuki, however, he cannot find him along with Chris. Then he saw Ben and Maria playing chess in the lounge.

"The training room? You can use it as you like." said Ben.

"Where's Sky and Chris?" Seito ask.

"Well, they are out before the sunrise, probably having some walks. We haven't been here for so many years after all... Maria, when are you going to make your move, it's been three minutes." said Ben, a bit impatient towards Maria.

"Ben chan, I have told you I can't play chess! I can't even see any move left." said Maria, rather frustrated.

"Ah... I guess I'll just head to the training room." said Seito.

"Have fun." said Ben.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in a small town away from the secret base. Sky and Chris are strolling on the street with no exact destination.

"Hey, Chris, why do you even let Seito, Itsuki, and the girls joining us? You know how that battle arena suppose to be, right?" said Sky.

"Are you telling me that I should get those from the Black Cross?" said Chris.

"Yes." said Sky.

"Well... They are indeed a much better choice... But... There is something I'm really concerned about." said Chris.

"You mean, you don't trust them?" said Sky.

Hearing the words from Sky, Chris look at him with a 'seriously?' look before slapping Sky's forehead with his hand.

"Ah! Pretend I didn't say that."

Then they continue walking until they reached a building with the shape of a knight head.

"This is the quest center? Looks quite different than before." said Sky.

"Well, consider when is the last time we visited this place, it's actually quite amazing this place still exists." said Chris.

"Want to have a look inside?" Sky asked.

"Sure." said Chris.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, secret base, training room. Seito and Itsuki are having a wooden sword match without using magic. Itsuki is attacking while Seito is defending and dodging.

"Attack me like how you will attack your enemy!... No! That's too weak. Try harder!" Seito shouted as he easily blocked Itsuki's attack.

However, for a person who never went through a real fight, Itsuki can't give in his full attention and power in his attacks, moreover, it's against his own cousin who is just defending.

"Hit harder!" Seito shouted. Itsuki frantically repeats his attacks again and again, but the result is not satisfying, while both of them are starting to get tired.

"Maybe you should try another method of training." said Ben, who had just entered the room with Maria.

"Dr. Ben..." Seito was too focus on the training that he is did not noticed that Ben and Maria had been watching them since the beginning.

"I guess you need some help from Maria." said Ben.

"Like Ben chan said, Sei chan~ You can always ask for our help, don't be shy." said Maria while clinging on Seito.

"Ah... Okay." said Seito.

Then Maria tied up his long hair, Blaze mode on.

"Well then... Let's burn." Maria waves his hand a bit, five flaming creatures appear in the training room.

"This is..." Seito is a bit surprise and worry..

"Don't worry, you would not get hurt easily in this training room, a special protection magic is applied in this room, if compare to the other one. Even if you get actually get hurt, I'm here." said Ben.

"I see... Thanks for the information." said Seito. And so, they started their new form of training.

*Blaze - Maria's codename, used during mission and such things.

Meanwhile, the town, quest center. Sky is talking with the receptionist of the place while Chris is looking at the quest board.

"We are the contestants for the coming battle arena, since it's still three months before the tournament, and it's quite bored without doing anything, so we would like to find some quest with good rewards to do, before the tournament." said Sky.

"It's really common for contestants to come here too early, and they usually come here to seek for some good quests as well. Here's a list of available simple quests that can be done in a day." said the reception while showing Sky a list of quests.

The quests on the list are some rather boring quests, like catching some bandits, catching some animals, and so on.

"Uhm... Actually, I'm more interested in this quest here." said Chris while pointing at a quest on the quest board, it is a quest to retrieve a treasure from an old temple, which put the receptionist into a rather shocking state.

"Are... Are you sure about that... No... I mean, you can't accept that quest, it's too dangerous!" said the receptionist.

"Dangerous... Huh?" said Chris with a casual tone.

Indeed, that quest is marked as Level X, which means the level of danger is uncertain.

"Sky, what do you think about this quest?" Chris ask.

"Let's take it." said Sky. And so, they had successfully drawn some unnecessary attentions again.

*Something out of the story

Sky: "Dear readers."

Chris: "Hmm?"

Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."

Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."

Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."

Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."

Chris: "But look out, those sc.u.ms might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.

Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
