CHAPTER 14

280 ac

I will call this I started to wonder if it would be possible to connect with Poe without being a zombie. If I can share only her sight while still having mine. It would be so good. I don't think I can do it yet. When I get back home I m going to try to bound with Erebus too. While I m here I should work on my elements too. Almost all my spells started to be lethal. The elemental ball I can make are now around 20 cm (8 inch) but I cant make the ice and earth ball bigger than 15 cm(6 inch). I think it is because they are denser materials still earth ball or I want to call it earth bullet is my strongest spell. When I shoot one at a thick tree it makes a big dent on its trunks. If I use it with a spin it can embeds the stone in to the tree trunk. I cant make its shape like a spike yet but I can add a little bit more spin now. If I use with spin I spend 1 more mana it costs 6 mana. as of now I have 31 mana. I can use 5 earth bullet or 6 other spells. As for my other spells wind spell is still the weakest but it is not useless anymore. I cant kill something with it yet but I can use it to push things back. One night I was coming from the library and a stray dog attack me from the roadside bushes I got startled by reflex i used wind ball and it push the dog back and I think it felt like getting kicked because it whined then run away. For the lightning spell I decided to use it as a touch spell because one time I shoot the spell it arched down and it would have hit my foot if I was walking. So I will only use it on close combat and it is really strong to I think it can definitely knock out a teenager but I don't know if it can knockout a grown big man.

Now I think about it I don't have to waste time digging worms and running back to my room to feed them anymore. I can start focusing on my physically and sword training again. I had put them at bear minimum for the last 2 months and now I can focus again. I promised Lord Stark I wouldn't neglect sword training. Even though I lessened the time I m spending on it I m still training and because of the 5x skill I m advancing at it too. Right now I m not a squire yet but Rodrik said if I keep getting better like this he might accept me as his squire in a few year. I m still young only 6 years old. But I m able to beat 10 years old squires and I would be able to beat 12 years old ones too if we only fight with swordsmanship but when it comes to physical strength and speed I always fall short. Right now I have 1.5 str 1.6 speed but 12 years old squires usually has around 2.2 str and 2 spd. I know for a fact those are their max stat. because every time we finish a sparring session, they would be breathing like horse and looking at me with fear and envy. What would I be doing you ask. Ohh, I m at the ground because I got beaten like dog.

I really don't understand how a child beat a grown man in those novels I read when I was at Earth. I would have understood if they were using magic. I can kill 6 grown man with the mana I have too if they come at me one at a time but I cant beat them without magic. It is just not possible. I cant even beat 12 years olds let alone grown men. It has been a year since I come here if I take all the time I trained in sword with my 5x skill it would be around 3500 to 4500 some were around there. Lets just say 5 years of experience. Usually a knight would have round 10 to 15 years of experience when they are knighted. Most of them are nobles and start working with swords at the young age of 5 to 6 but I heard in the south most of them would only train for self-defense, only low nobles and second-borns and onward would train in sword for war.

I was on my way to my room when a 6 children around 10 years old surrounded me at the middle was Hallis Mollen one of the household guard of Winterfell. They are not counted as highborn yet but they are not smallfolk either. You could say they are minor noble. They are granted a surname and a banner but no land to rule after a few generation of service they might be granted a keep if they show promise.

"Look what we have here? A freak of nature and a commoner who doesn't know his betters."

I gave a heavy sigh and said " What would the noble squires want from this little and humble swordsman."

"Look at his arrogance even when saying noble squires, I really hate your smug face."

"you cant have it."

When I said that Hallis get confuses and asks "what do you mean, I cant have it?"

I tried to sound like hurt and having hard time then said "You cant have my handsome face, I know you are really jealous but what can I do, your mother looked at nothing but pigs bum when she was pregnant with you. You should go and ask her why she did that. It is not my fault you look like a hog."

First he didn't get what I was saying it is a bit cute when children try to act grown but it is actually really sad when you think about why they are here. They didn't know what hate was their parents and grownups taught that. In reality it is not their idea to go and beat the commoner child who is better than nobles, those are not the words of a child. They must be learning all those words form the grownups around them. but I m still going o beat their ass. Just because I m sad about it doesn't mean I m going to let them push me around like rag.

I knew this day was going to come when I started beating noble squires so I always carry a wooden sword when I m out of my room. So I grip the sword handle and started waiting for them to make the first move. I think Hallis at last understood what I called him so he shouted "GET HİM, BREAK AT LEAST AN ARM!"
