Matthew clashed with three people at once. Attacking, dodging and blocking with all his might. Matthew was able to keep up with the onslaught of attacks and defend himself properly while also countering some of their attacks.
However, there was one person that was giving him trouble.
'His movement is so much faster and his attacks are even stronger, heck even his defense is tough too. I need to get rid of these two and deal with him later.'
With that in mind, Matthew focused his counterattacks on the two lackies. Trying to make them stay down.
Matthew swung his sword to deflect all the attacks that were coming at him. He then focused his astra into his left fist and slammed it into the ground.
The ground shook and broke apart, causing all of his opponents to lose their balance. Using this chance, Matthew first kicked Alan away as far as he could. He then proceeded to attack the b
Inside a tavern where anyone can hang out and enjoy their meals while chugging down some beer, it was very lively with the amount of people that were inside. All of the tables were full with people sitting at them.There were occasional clanks of mugs, distinct chatters and haughty laughters that filled the air. It would seem that everyone was enjoying their time after a quest well done. Not only that, there was another reason why there were more people than usual here tonight.“Cheers!” CLANK!“Glug glug glug… Puhaa~! Whoo! That’s some good stuff!” The woman with purple hair slammed her mug on the table. “Hey, don’t any of you drink alcohol?”“We’re only seventeen you know? And Cecilia is fifteen. Neither of us are of legal age to drink, Yuki.” Matthew replied.“Hey hey, your world’s rules don't
In the bustling streets, Rose and Cecilia were sitting at a bench by the sidewalk while vehicles pulled by cows, horses, ground lizards and beefaloes steadily moved on the main road. They had led Matthew away from them, the reason being they had something to talk about.“Phew, good thing Matt is really easy to persuade.” Rose said after sitting.“You knew?” Cecilia was right beside Rose.“Yeah, I mean, we were classmates after all. Back in our world, I mean.”“Oh so you’ve known him for a while.”“Yeah, I’ve known him for years now.” Rose sounded a bit sad.“... What is he like?” Cecilia suddenly asked.Rose was quiet for a second. She looked at the sky while she explained. “He is… Very childish, he plays around a lot, lazy in class, sleeps wh
Meanwhile Rose and Cecilia were talking it out on the street of the city, Matthew finally found Yuki sitting on a tree branch munching on an apple. When she saw Matthew approaching, she greeted him.“Yo.”Matthew swiveled his head left and right before finally looking up. “Oh there you are,” said Matthew.“Took you a while to get here.” Yuki threw her half eaten apple away and jumped down.“You know this place is huge right?” Matthew put a hand on his waist.“Well, that shouldn’t be a challenge, should it?”“Well, I’d like to save my energy for the fight.”“Oh, so you really think highly of me?” Yuki had a slight smug on her face. “I’m flattered.”“Well, you are a senior after all, of course I would.
The scene swept past the window in a slight blur where Matthew looked out from as the carriage rattled on the stone brick road. In front of and facing him, was Rose who was also staring out the glassless window with her hand supporting her chin and beside her was Yuki who was sleeping quietly, tired from the fight with Matthew. On the opposite end of the seat on Matthew’s side, was Cecilia who stared nervously at the carriage floor, fidgeting and stealing glances at the others.Then there was one more, who sat in between Matthew and Cecilia, a maid. She had bright red hair and slightly tanned skin. Her black and white maid outfit fitted perfectly on her body. Her face was that of a soft and kind person as per the first time the team encountered her at the Hunter Station.…..Matthew and Yuki arrived a little late to the station where Rose and Cecilia were already waiting outside. Matthew waved his hand high
“LIAAAAA!!”“I’m home. Mom, dad.”Cecilia was immediately swarmed by her parents who held her in a tight hug as soon as the door opened. They cried out loudly and blasted Cecilia with questions as they checked her body vigorously.“Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did the school treat you well? Did you eat well? Was the money we sent enough? Are you really okay? Are you really not hurt?”Among the bullets of questions, Cecilia only answered with yeses and noes. Both of her parents sighed of relief until one more question they asked. “Did you… Pass the exam?”Cecilia answered with a big smile on her face. “Yes!”The married couple’s faces brightened up even more and they both shouted, “congratulations!”“Was it hard? Was it easy? Was it dangerous? W
Matthew and the team were now temporarily staying at the mansion belonging to the Noble House of Crystal. Though they wanted to refuse the offer, they finally agreed when they were being pressed by the Noble couple. However, their timing of stay was not so good.In a meeting room within the mansion of the Southern Region Noble, the House of Stone, a meeting was held between the Nobles of all regions with the exception of the Capital of course. Out of all the Nobles that were invited, only three came to the meeting so far, excluding the owner of the mansion. Gustav was one of the three that were waiting.The meeting room only had a large round table with ten seats around it. There was nothing else other than the table and chairs aside from the giant portrait of Lord Stone which was placed behind an especially fancier chair than the others. Gustav was sitting on the third chair to the left of the fancy chair. While the other two currently pres
The Hunters who took up the offer from the Lord of the House of Crystal, Yuki and Rose were walking on the streets of the bustling city including the daughter of Lord Crystal, Cecilia Crystal. The three of them only wore casual clothing fitting for the currently hot temperature.As for the reason why there were only three of them…"Matt already went out to take a stroll.""What? He went by himself?" Cecilia was very surprised."Well it's not like he's a kid, at least not physically." Rose glanced to the side.Cecilia sighed. "Hah… There goes the original plan.""I mean, he never did agree to go out with us in the first place," said Yuki."I just thought that maybe I could repay all of you personally with this shopping trip, but if he's not gonna accept it…" Cecilia fidgeted as she floated in her imagination in worry.
Meanwhile the girls were having fun on their shopping trip, Matthew had a little fun of his own.Matthew went out early that morning to have a stroll around the city. He only wore normal casual clothes with blue black being the main colour.The morning street was not yet crowded with people. In fact, the stalls were just about to open. The sun was only slightly above the hills.The birds perched on the buildings chirped harmonically. Clatters of cooking utensils from the kitchens of people making breakfast. Random "good morning" from the people Matthew came across."This is peaceful." Matthew took a deep breath of fresh morning air. "Mmm~ people said that morning is when the air is freshest."Matthew kept walking down the reddish granite road. He was not really thinking of anything. Just enjoying the view.He then stopped and sat on a bench by the street. He
