Aftermath

After killing Michael, Sky escapes from the mansion. 

In the streets, he sees  several guards running towards him. He quickly deactivates his ultimate. His eye color and pupil returns to normal.

[About time they come.]

A man with a white cape is leading the guards. He seems a quiet high ranked duelist. 

He is approaching Sky and says 

"You there is there anyone inside?" 

"We  received a report that a dangerous individual is inside in this house."  

"I already  dealt with him."

"You?" The man in the white cape looks at him mockingly.

[A weak looking guy like you defeating a duelist? Don't give me such bullshit. ] 

"How do you defeat him then?"

"If you don' believe me, his body is inside the mansion."

"Guards, search for the body." The guards went inside.

"What is your name?"

"Sky leffen."

A moment later the guards reported

"Captain! We searched the entire house and we didn't anybody."

"What?" Sky runs inside and sees that his body is gone.

[He must a fire spell on himself.]

"His body is there ten minutes ago."

"Oh really? You sure have a lot of fantasy." 

"Whatever you believe it or not, what I said it's true. I don't have time to arguing with you. I need to look for a sleeping place since it's already night."

"I'm leaving now."

"Wait a second."

"What's the matter?"

"I heard from one of the witnesses that there are a girl and silver-haired boy fighting that man. Where are they?"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

"They left, I don't know where they went."

"Anything else you want to ask?"

"You can go now, I have one piece of advice for you. Next time don't lie to me." 

[You are looking down on me huh? I challenge you to a duel once I pass the test. I should ask his name first so I can look for him.]

"What is your name?"

"Richard Desiree"

"You are Richard Desiree?" [He isn't wearing his armor.]

"The man that stole you blue stone. I already killed him."

Sky tosses the human skin with dragon tattoo to Richard and went away.

[He knows about my stone?]

"Wait!" shouted Richard

But Sky doesn't turn back and walk further and further.

"Captain, why did he mean by that?"

"The man  that stoled my blue stone is a low-level scum. I was fighting an enemy and the blue stone has fallen out of my pocket.  When I realize my stone is gone it's already too late. The thief probably saw us fighting and picked mine stone up when I left.

 I was careless and it was my mistake."

"Who is the enemy that you fought?"

"He is one the members of the exile. He is quite strong and manage to fight me evenly until I use my left hand."

Sky manage to find a free place to sleep for one night.

[I'm hungry, my bag burned away from the fire. ] 

Despite hunger Sky still manage to sleep because he is exhausted after the fight.
