Further Mikel - "I see. How sad, but I know what you are thinking about, and it is foolish to do. Do you think running away from here and taking revenge is a good idea? You will just be killed before even getting close to those undead monsters. Do you think your parents want to see you get killed before you even kill one of those monsters? Or wouldn't they be happy to see you getting stronger so you can take your revenge? Adelram, come join us. Join the Blood Moon Brotherhood, and if you do, we will teach you what we can - our knowledge and way of fighting. We will make you stronger. What do you say?"
Adelram - "I was just wondering how this old man knows what I was planning to do. Can he read my mind? Most likely not. But he does have a point. Right now, I am a weak hack. Before I even came here, I didn't know there were so many different races and monsters. A year ago, I didn't even know where my village was located. Now, I know I am at the borders of the kingdom of Aditya, and my village was located in between two kingdoms - the sun kingdom of Aditya and the undead kingdom of Lusha, at the Greenfield Forest near the Tempest Mountains. Those monsters from the undead kingdom took everything from me. And I know the only way I can take revenge is to join one of the kingdom of Aditya's knight orders - the Order of the Blood Moon Brotherhood. Yes, Father Mikel, please let me join the brotherhood. I will do anything you ask of me."
Further Mikel - "That is great to hear. We will start your training as soon as one of my knights is free. I will ask them to teach you personally, but you have to follow the rules."
(---) - "Sir Mikel, may I come in?"
(Further Mikel) - "Come in, come in. As expected, one of my best knights has finished their mission before the expected time. Let me introduce this little orc to you. His name is Adelram. I want you to start his training from today, and I want him in eleven years. Can you do it? (-----) - Yes, Sir Mikel. I will do my best. And you, orc, come follow me. We will start your training now. Please excuse us, Sir Mikel. As he followed me to the training ground, I could already see from his body language that he does not know how to fight. That will not be a problem, but he is an orc and orcs are strong fighters, so I have to choose someone close to his age to beat him up so he doesn't get overconfident and arrogant. But who do I know? I will pick 3 people: 1 who is good in agility so he knows the importance of speed, 1 in defending so he knows that not every fight can be won by strength alone, and someone strong so he knows he is not the strongest and there will always be someone stronger. You, orc, listen to everyone in this field. You don't have a name from now on. If you want to have your name and respect, you have to earn it. You over there, you monkey, fight this orc and if you win this fight, you will be promoted to class 2. And you, orc, if you win, hahaha if you can win, I will do anything you ask of me once. Haha, now fight. Adelram - As I was just following the knight, I was wondering why he looked different from the other knights. Even his armor was different; it looked like he was wearing some old parts of different armor. We just entered the ground where the new recruits train, and I was shocked to see the different types of races, like dwarves, halflings, lizardfolk, and so many beastmen. As I was looking around, I heard him speak and call a gorilla a monkey, a great disrespect to them. Then I heard him say if I win, he will do anything I want. What a stupid human. Does he not know orcs are the strongest? When I win, I will make him bow down and say my name a hundred times. Gorillamen, known as Gormen, are strong, but we orcs are the strongest. As I walked into the ring, the knight told us some simple rules. As he said, "3, 2, 1, start!" The Gorman put his hand below his eyes and above his jaw and he just stood there as I ran up to him. As I was about to throw my punch, I felt something on my chest and went flying backwards. As I started to get back up "I was wondering what had hit me. I got back up and ran faster, trying to punch him again. But as I got close, he quickly moved his right hand forwards and hit my chin with a punch. I fell down and everything went black. After a few seconds, I opened my eyes and heard the knight saying, 'Eight, nine, ten. The winner is the monkey no the Gorilla win as the knight looked at me and Sayed and the loser is the Goblin. You have 2 more try. After a few minutes my next opponent was chosen it was a bunny or maybe a
