"Thank you for your help."
The older brother of Markas bowed in front of Yuna and Vayve! His younger brother was his only family, so it was understandable for him to do so! He didn't treat the two kids as 'kids' as their power was also astonishing.
It was rather respectful bow!
"No problem."
"Thank you for your quick and fast reaction too! You are a strong group!"
"Haha~~ Thank you, young lady."
After that, everything went straight to the adults as they had to repair the carriage, calm down the horses, then check their own equipment.
Speaking of the equipment, Vayve turned his attention to Markas' gloves which were looking all fine. He himself had a little wounds on himself, but the gloves were all fine. This caused Vayve to truly put these gloves in the 'special category'.
Yuna's sword was from her family, so it was understandable for it to withstand the strong body of the mutated beast. She is a noble lady after all. It would be rather way too disappointing if her sword just broke like that.
"It will take a while..."
"I don't feel like sleeping though."
"It's not weird after such face off."
The three kids had a lot time for themselves now.
It was in the middle of the night, but no one really felt like sleeping. The new experience had left itself deeply within their young hearts. For now, everyone felt like 'comprehending' something to which the area around the kids quitened down.
Thanks to his recent game, Vayve's magic consumption had lowered when it came to the Lucky Toss. And the effects were all good that suited the situation, so Vayve had progressed nicely here.
His eyes went to the side to look at his friend whose hand was clenching the sword's hilt tightly.
She was thinking about something deeply, thus, Vayve decided to focus his attention on Markas who was hitting a tree with his punches. The feeling of hitting a beast was still vivid in his body, thumping along with his heart.
This young man was truly ready to throw himself for another battle!
"Wanna spar for a little?"
"Yeah! Your coins are so strong I want to punch them."
"I am getting confident in my coin tosses way too much lately, so prove me wrong, Markas."
Both 'kids' laughed, then began their spar.
As a small things can give a huge progress for Vayve, he just decided to go along with everything and do even a minor things as much as he can. This spar also might strengthen his coin toss skill as Markas' gloves are kinda scary.
Even now, Vayve was feeling a shockwaves coming out from his punches.
Furthermore, Markas was in that battle mode, so he wasn't missing any coin tosses. Nothing could go through him! The spar was quite light-hearted as Markas just stood in one place while Vayve moved around him to strike from many angles.
His physical strength was also being trained in this way.
"Haha! I am getting better and better myself!"
"Don't tell me you think you are a weak adventurer?"
"I am not! Hmm... Vayve, what's your purpose of getting strength?"
"It's for myself and my closest ones."
"Me too!"
It turned out that Markas' family was a victim of a greedy noble! The unknown treasure had been found by them which were actually the gloves that he was wearing... Back then, no one could wear those, so they had that unique aspect.
Markas' family was that of a common origin and in order to sell the treasure, they had to properly gauge its worth. That's how the noble had found out about that item! He proposed rather fine price for it, but before that, the parents of Markas already learnt that this item is far more worth than one can imagine.
It's worth could be only properly gauged in the capital!
So before a family could go here, then noble proceed to silently take care of Markas' family to which it happened only halfway through. The older brother survived thanks to the sacrifice of his parents, then swore to protect his last family.
In order to do so, he needed strength and not believing nobles anymore, the adventurer path was truly the only path left.
Markas was too little to understand what is going on, so he only followed his brother. He only knew that his parents are no longer here! This was haunting him for a while, then one day, he tried to destroy the item that was the cause of a horrible destiny.
And that was the moment where the gloves just swallowed his small hands.
"It's a cursed item, but also a power that can protect my brother and my future family!"
"Yeah... You are right..."
Markas was only ten years old, but already manly and strong! This was the result of a chaotic world and Vayve could only get impressed by that young man! He let out a sigh, then clenched that coin tightier.
"I will be faster now."
"Oh, okay."
The young man rubbed his nose, then his legs lightly buckled. It was time for a little serious spar which is going to make them stronger! The sound of strong gloves and coins colliding with each other lasted for a whole night, then two kids decided to go sleep.
Yuna was way too much in her sword 'comprehension', but when she noticed that two friends already gone asleep, she pouted then approached them. And as she took a seat next to Vayve, her hands hugged his arm unconsciously as she ventured to that dreamland.
On her face a beatiful and satisfied smile appeared with was very similar to the one that Vayve and Markas had.
Looks like everyone got a bountiful rewards and it was only the middle of their adventure!
