Zikito and Arkon finished eating their breakfast- it was nice.. As they headed back home with the small side-mission they did, it went really smoothly while they quietly guarded the carriage. Not even one attack happened. The carriage just had the three of them, it was also quiet in the literal sense.. While they took a small break, Hazu approached Zikito.
“I heard that your son is actually a mage and an adventurer, *chuckles*. What can ya do kid?” Hazu asked.
“I-I can form small pebbles-? I’m not really an adventurer….”
“Show me.” Hazu was intrigued with a slight smile.
“O-okay…”
Zikito tried to grasp his hands and imagined very hard a pebble forming.
“Stop! You’re doing it wrong!” Hazu interrupted.
“What do you mean-?” Zikito stopped.
“You’re condensing the pebble too much. Try relaxing your hand then firm, just don’t try to crush it.”
Zikito stared at Hazu for a while, then tried what he did.
“It should be like this….”
Zikito relaxed his hand and tried it once more. Zikito grunted as he tried to manifest a rock, and yes, it worked!
“Ah-,,,,,,,,, that took too much on me…”
“N-not bad kid… I’m surprised you learned that one so quickly…”
Arkon, who was just sitting by, tried to ignore and slip some words.
“Zikito is my son after all.” Then followed by a whistle.
“Perhaps that explains best.” Hazu smiled.
“He’s got potential.” Hazu added.
“T-thanks….”
“What do you say? I can teach you magic! I’m a standard mage, but I’m not such an adventurer myself… I’ve been stuck on semi-eta for a while now… ehe……”
“Sure-.”
“Are you even capable of teaching my son, brat?”
Arkon stood, he was taller than Hazu, he appeared more dominant and battle-forged. It was evident that Arkon was stronger, but Hazu could probably stand up in a fight.

“I could teach him a few things-.”
“Survive three hits from me, and if you don’t get hit, I’ll let you.”
“Wha-WHAT!? I won’t insist on teaching him if you don’t want to! Jeez!”
“I never said this was a request, brat. READY!”
Arkon fixed his posture, he prepared for his next attack.
“W-WAIT!”
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Arkon stomped on the ground, the rocks flew to the air from the sheer force. Arkon then shoved them in a split second towards Hazu.
“EYARTHHH SHYIEEAAAALDD-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Hazu shrieked, his voice even cracked- he sounded like a woman! Luckily, he blocked the five projectiles.
“Not bad, HEEHEEHEHEHEAHAHAHAAAHA! ROUND TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.”
“THIS IS A BREACH OF CONTRACT-!”
Arkon continued regardless, he rose both his hands and tried to close Hazu in- it was a giant earth beartrap!
“FWACK-. YOU INSANE MAN WHY THE HELL DID I LET YOU DO MY REQUEAAASSTTTTTTTTTTT?!”
Just as Hazu barely dodged the attack, Arkon seemed to have some fun.
“ONE MORE!”
“What the hell…. What’s dad on?”
Arkon was drunk! The third attack is not something easy….
“PREPARE, BRAT!”
“STOP, STOP, STOP! I CAN’T BLOCK THAT PLEASE DON’T-.”
Hazu was tired, his breath was running faster than him. He felt despair the moment Arkon ran towards him. His legs gave up as he accepted his fate. Arkon charged with a flying kick- it was so over!
“FWACKING SHAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-!”
Hazu manifested layers of layers of rocks in front of his face- it raced against Arkon’s speed. However, Arkon landed a clear hit! Although it was slower, Hazu flew a few meters away as his face bled. Hazu’s vision closed in as his senses tingled.
“Oh-. I didn’t expect that you’d go down this easy! Haha, brat!”
Hazu could only stare as Arkon looked like he was about to kill him- Hazu couldn’t even move. Arkon grabbed Hazu’s collar as he tried to make him stand up. Hazu indeed did stand up, but he vomited blood a few moments later.
“Maybe you’re not that bad, I’ll let you.”
Hazu’s voice was shrunk and in pain, his brows met as he cleaned himself up.
“I’m reporting…. This… to the… guild… damn it….”
“Oh? Just right after you passed my test?”
“Fuck that, we’re going to the town…”
“My wife can heal that little bite, why not come with us brat?”
“I have to deliver these today, I will after I drop them off….
“We’ll wait.”
Hazu stood up and went to the carriage.
“We’re leaving, get back up-..”
“Aight brat.”
The three of them continued their journey back to the town of Cole. It was rather…. Aggressive moment….
