CHAPTER 13: THE EVENT ENDS
The fight between Kaito and Nakamura ended by Kaito's victory, the match was a very interesting one that a lot of Awakened who haven't gotten tested yet started going to the testing sites to get tested in hopes of being a high rank. Kaito who had won the match was unconscious after Nakamura had lost, and couldn't move as he was paralyzed and both he and Nakamura had been transported to a hospital.
---------
A full 32 hours have passed since the end of the match between Kaito and Nakamura and a lot of things happened in that time, the semifinal match between Ryota and Isabella had been changed into the finals because the doctor who saw Kaito said that Kaito may not wake up soon and even if he did ,he may not be able to fight anymore and for Nakamura, the doctor said that, he was badly hurt and couldn't continue as he was so, they were both ruled out of the event and the final was going to happen on the day that the semifinal between Ryota and Isabella should have been.
24 hours after the end of the match between Kaito and Nakamura, the final match between Isabella and Ryota commenced. The match lasted for five minutes and the winner was Isabella as Ryota forfeited after some exchanges of blows. The media said it was because he didn't want to fight a women but no one knew if that was the case.
---------
Kaito woke up and as soon as he did what he first checked was the progression of the weapon training, it had been completed and it said, [You have mastered the dragon king scale dagger, Drapis"] and it showed a description below the quest achievement prompt.
[Drapis]
-A mythical weapon made from the dragon king's scale which was found accidentally by an adventurer in a dungeon.
Kaito was confused as to how the system said that he had completed the quest and he thought of things why it had deemed him to have mastered the dagger, maybe it was because fighting with people and especially players, gives you more experience in weaponry, that was what Kaito believed but, for now he was just relieved that he had finished the quest. He thought about the daggers ingredients, it said it was one of the dragon king's scales and he thought it was Drakonos as he had proclaimed himself to be the king of dragons. After that he looked at his stats and he was surprised to see that most of them had increased. Sense, reflex and stamina had increased by 10 while intelligence, strength and mana increased by 3 and his overall level has increased by 1 and became 21.
After he finished looking at his stats, he started looking at his surroundings. To his left, he saw a person lying on the a bed, it was Nakamura, he was bruised and seemed like he was very hurt, of course he would be like this, I shouldn't worry, should I? After all it's his own attack that I returned to him, thought Kaito feeling guilt. He turned to his right and saw a person sitting near him and wearing a hat on his face and he seemed like he was sleeping. Kaito thought who it could be as he didn't know a lot of people who care about him this much and the first one he thought of was the father that took care of him when he was in the orphanage. He tried to take the hat off the sleeping figure and as he was about to touch the hat, the hand of the sleeping figure caught him.
"What are you trying to do Mr. Kaito" said the mysterious person and took the hat of his face, it was Haruto. Kaito was surprised that it was Haruto but, it made sense that he would visit him since they have made a contract and most people worry about the contractor.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"Haruto!, what are you doing here?"
"What do you mean?, isn't it normal for a person to worry about his employer", it was just as Kaito thought.
"You're right, but, how did you know about the event"
"Hmm, well.. I was going to the test area to get tested as you told me but, when I got there, there was a big line, probably the biggest I have ever seen and when I asked why there were a lot of people here, they said that they were motivated by the fight between you and Nakamura, I thought it was you and asked them to show me a video of the match and that's where I saw you getting hurt and after that, I asked one of the managers where you were and came here to visit you."
"Oh, that makes sense" replied Kaito while thinking, Woah, what's with is grip it's strong. I'm sure if he gets proper training or was a player, he can easily become an A rank or even an S rank. Kaito thought about telling Haruto about the system and the other world but, when he tried to speak, something stopped him from talking, his mouth was shut. He tried speaking about other things and that worked fine but, when he tried talking about the system he couldn't. He tried another method, he called the screen of the system and asked Haruto if he could see it because he knew that Isabella could see it when they first met but Haruto couldn't. Haruto said he will get some drinks and went out and Kaito started wondering why he couldn't tell Haruto about the system and the only thing he could think of was that, Haruto wasn't a player. Thinking about this made another question in his mind, What is the qualification for being a player?. He thought it had something to do with the world's best at something and that was the only thing he could think of as all the players that Aya told him about were the best I the world at something.
As he was thinking about things like this, Haruto returned with some drinks and sat down. There was a silence for some time and it was broken when Haruto opened the drinks, he handed one of them to Kaito and started talking.
"So....Mr. Kaito, if I train with you can I become as strong as you"
Kaito was excited that Haruto seemed to be trusting him but, he wasn't sure if he could make him as strong as him because he wasn't a player. While he was thinking that the system appeared and it had a quest. It read:
-------
[Quest]
The player seems to have taken a disciple under him as so the disciple will become a substitute player if he can fulfill the condition, if he succeeds, his role as a substitute player will be, to follow the players and learn from them and help them. Until the end of the quest you can see the trainee's stats and the system's screen but, after he becomes a substitute player you can only see his stats with his approval. The trainee also have the privilege to travel between worlds.
CONDITION: The trainee's stats should be over 40 on average.
Time limit: 6 months
Penalty: none for the master but death for the trainee
Will you accept
YES/NO
-------
Kaito was relieved that he could answer that he could make him strong like that but, he was a little worried about the penalty that was set, but then also when he thought about the time given he thought he could make it happen, especially since they can go to the other world and get stronger without dungeons. As so Kaito accepted and as soon as he did, Haruto also got the quest by the system's screen which Kaito could also see and as Haruto was confused, Kaito explained what happened to him and he relaxed a little bit.
After he made Haruto relax, Kaito immediately saw Haruto's stats and he was quite surprised, Intelligence and Strength were both greater than 15 and stamina was greater than 10 but, mana, reflex and sense weren't even greater than 5 and his overall level being level 1. Kaito wasn't much disappointed with that and he thought that in 6 months, most will be greater than 40 while only 1 or 2 will be less than 40.
A few days later Kaito was ready to get out of the hospital and in his stay he grew a little close with Nakamura after he woke up a little later after Kaito did. As they were in the same room and talked most of the time they found something in common, they were both orphans and because they had daily quests, they helped each other and completed the quests with ease, even though they were hurt.
Kaito got his checked out of the hospital and went to his house, he was thinking off starting training with Haruto tomorrow or the day after. He asked Haruto on text and Haruto said that he was ready anytime and as so the next day they met up at Haruto's shop and went to Gorgoria to level up and complete the quest.
