Gil is no doubt only a human, although he is far stronger than any ordinary human as well as any other races. Because of his prowess, he is personally recruited by the Malic kingdom but he rejected it and chooses to serve the Dragonfang kingdom because of its peaceful coexistence towards other beings. What he hates the most is discrimination on a different race.
‘Why do people discriminate others? Is it because they have parts which are different from the others? That’s just absurd!’
He didn’t like the way the king of the Malic kingdom rules. So he leaves and went to the Dragonfang kingdom to serve. As soon as he arrived, he was fascinated by the place. The street was bustling and even if there are wars happening in the world it seems like this place wasn’t affected.
And then another thing surprises him upon coming to this kingdom was, The King! The townsfolk call him the Dragonking. He was very strong, maybe the strongest, Gil have ever seen. But even though he was strong, he was not a tyrant, he was loved and revere by all, including Gil.
He was very happy when he was appointed as the Captain of the knights. He went to various battlefield with the king, but still he never cease to amaze him. An impossible feat seems like possible if the king do it, that’s what he believes.
But now another one caught his attention.
Lyle Drake Dragonfang the son of the Dragonking was now in front of him. A boy almost but not yet five years old was emitting a fierce pressure only a few significant beings can have. These beings became a historical figure and some was even worshipped. He only knew it from legend and was only treated as a fiction, but this boy in front of him has it. He definitely has it!
‘T-the K-king’s Disposition?’
He was speechless. He couldn’t believe what is in front of him. And then Lyle moved
In an instant, Lyle’s figure became blurry, no he moves very fast for the naked eye to see but not a problem for Gil. Though the distances between the two of them were about 10 meters, He closed up to 5 meters in a blink and charged towards Gil.
‘wha!’
Gil was a veteran of war, and he already fought various opponents so he can see what Lyle was doing and where he is coming but still he couldn’t believe it. A boy in his age shouldn’t be able to move like that.
‘Is he really just a four year old kid? And most importantly did he just use
*pishew*
*pishew*
The sound of wind cutting could be heard as they unleashed their wooden swords. Lyle slashed his wooden sword downward while Gil blocked it with his own wooden sword. Although the attacked was good and precise, it was obvious that it still lacks enough strength. But Lyle was still not finished; he slashed upward the reversed grip wooden sword in his left hand.
Noticing this, Gil was startled. He immediately step forward his right foot and thrust his left hand to stop Lyle’s attack. It was a stalemate; they stopped for a second and then at the same time, step backward.
‘I’ve underestimated him too much! Who would have known…’
“Are you really a kid, young master?”
Gil momentarily stopped his movements and distanced himself from Lyle. He was talking while smiling wryly, but his eyes remained sharp to ascertain Lyle’s next move. He doesn’t want to be taken by surprise anymore.
Whereas, Lyle didn’t actively attack the distanced Gil, and was staring at him, asserting the next move he will be doing.
He flashed a grin and said
“*huff* maybe, phew hahaha”
The laughter resounded in the room. Although Lyle was laughing, others could tell that he was breathing hard just now. Beads of sweat started running down on his face.

The exchange just now was simply too fast, no just too abnormal that the knights behind them could only dumbfoundedly watch Lyle and Gil’s sparring battle. They couldn’t believe what they are watching and just quietly stare at the fight. No one move nor blink. Anticipating what will happen next.
*gulp*
Only the sound of someone gulping can be heard from the background. Sasha on the other hand, although couldn’t follow the movement just now, was just staring worriedly towards Lyle. Unlike her usual complexion, complicated expression can be seen from her face. Sometimes astonishment, worry, amazement and any other as she watches the fight goes on.
Meanwhile, even though Gil was exchanging banter with Lyle, he too, just like Lyle; he was thinking what to do.
What he understood from the earlier fight was that, he should stop thinking that this boy in front of him is just a boy. If he doesn’t then he will suffer the consequences. Although his body is short and his strength is not that great, Lyle’s attack speed is good. Very precise and swift.
‘I need to be serious…’ he thought and took a stance.
Lyle reacted to his movement, but Gil stepped forward quicker.
Gil left an afterimage after dashing towards Lyle. His steps shattered the soil as he jumped onto the air.
*pishew*
In one breath, the distance of his hand reaches the target. It should have been over but Lyle use his skill
Charging forward, he suddenly disappeared right in front of Gil, and emerged on the right of it the next second.
‘Wha!?’
Lyle moved dizzyingly and swung his sword at Gil. Gil immediately calms his mind to counter the attack. On the verge of Lyle hitting him, Gil changed the direction of his momentum and executed a sweep kick with his left leg.
Noticing this, Lyle brought his other wooden sword in his chest shielding him from the impending hit.
As a result, although it was block by the wooden sword, Lyle still flew into the air.
The knights gasp then suddenly stood up to intercept and caught him, especially Sasha who frantically ran towards the direction Lyle was heading.
But that was unnecessary for Lyle just flipped several times mid air and gracefully landed in the ground.
“Lyle-sama!!! Are you okay!?”
Sasha shouted with a worried look. Lyle looks at her and smile but his face showed how exhausted he is. While panting he turn back and face Gil again who is looking at him also with worried face.
“*huff* Uncle Gil, It looks like*huff* I won’t be able to finish this fight*huff*”
After saying that, he move wobbly and collapsed, but he was immediately caught by Sasha. Gil and the knights also frantically ran towards Lyle.
“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry Young master, I..I…”
“No*huff* its okay, I’m just exhausted*huff*”
He faced Gil while still lying in Sasha’s lap.
“Let’s fight again some other time*huff* for now…”
He couldn’t continue what he is speaking because he fell asleep.
Gil was wearing an apologetic look because Sasha was glaring daggers at him. He scratches the back of his head and said
“Let me help you carry him to his room”
He extends his arms but then immediately sweep away by Sasha while still glaring at him.
“No need, I can carry him alone” she carried Lyle while invoking a wind spell to lighten the weight. She quietly left the training area living the knights behind and hurriedly went back to Lyle’s room.
