Chapter 3:The Red

It's been a year since I took Sylphy under my wing and trained her in both physical and magical aspect,and the results are very impressive,she's now capable of defeating a full-grown adult.

We both turned 11 this year.

"Rudy,we want you to take on work so you can help us fund your education!"

"What?"

And just like that,I waved goodbye to Sylphy.

"When you come back, I'd like to tell you something! I'll miss you!Take care now,goodbye!"

She's crying so much... She's such a sweet child...I hate this.

So what even is that work my parents forced me to? It's a tutoring job to a noble child, and it's pretty damn far I say.

It really came out of nowhere,so I thought it's some good old nepotism: father did say that they're our distant relatives,and the way he fondly talks about their house head,seems like they're good friends.

"Greetings m'lady,my name is Rudeus Greyrat. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Who the fuck are you?"
"I'll be your tutor from now on."
"Fuck off,pipsqueak!"

Whoa, I barely dodged that, she's fast.

Well, shots have been fired, I just can't let myself be a sand bag, yeah?

She's capable of closing the distance between us so quickly,I just can't escape.

But seems to me it's taking her everything just to pull this off,leaving her wide open.

Bam! I kicked her stomach, knocking her to the wall.

"Hey,you good?"
"Ouch,shit! You'll regret that!"
"Sure,sur–"

Bam! Her fist hit my face, enough to shove me some meters back.

Though,I maintained my ground just fine.

"Hah–! How's the taste of my fist?!"
"Not bad. But I barely felt that."

We're both equal in speed, I thought that kick is enough to stop her so I dropped my guard. And she punished me for that.

"What a warm welcome, I'm starting to like this place now."

"Hah–! I'll knock you out cold and send you back home in a coffin!"
"That a joke?"

I find no reason to hold back now.

She reminds me of Paul,and all the hardships I endured under him all these time.

All the blood,sweat,tears,even more blood,and bone fractures.

But she doesn't really have anything to do with him, I just hate that guy.

It merely took me a second to close the distance between us, as evident of her face in full surprise.

She won't see this coming – from below!

Bam! It's a clean strike in her abdomen once more.

It sent her crashing to the same wall,leaving a dent, knocking her cold.

Oh shit,did I killed her..?
