Capítulo 20: Are you really my brother?

Tillie was looking alertly toward the black coat man but when she saw his face she exclaimed but hesitated and said "B-B-brother?"

Tristan looked embarrassed and wants to dig a hole for him to hide but if he does that, it will be more embarrassing, he glares angrily at Beldum and looked towards Tillie, and said: "Long time no see, fourth child"

"Yeah" She bowed her head and nodded.

After a few seconds…

Croo… Croo… Croo…

There's a bird flying past them.

Silence.

But beldum cannot stand it and respond and spins around them.

Whiiing Whiiing

Looking at this pig teammate swaying around, Tristan couldn't help but shouted angrily "Bastard, come back here!"

When beldum felts the anger of its owner, it couldn't help but shiver especially the cold glare, so, it runs away. It didn't want to get punished.

"Beldum!"

Whiiing! Whiing! (I don't)

"I count 1 to 3 if you don't come back here"

Whiiing! Whiiing! (I cannot hear you!)

"1..."

Whiiiing! Whiing! (I don't hear anything)

"2…"

Whiiiing! Whiing! (Hmph…You're a bad owner!)

"3…"

Whiiing! Whiiing! (I'll go, I will go, please don't hurt me, I'm still a baby)

It slowly approaches Tristan looking aggrieved and pitiful in front of him. Its eye was watery which is looks pitiful and cute.

Even Tristan who looks cold couldn't help but softens seeing this pitiful look, but he still his cold look and said "Just behave and follow me"

Then he looked at Tillie and said "Attack me"

Tillie who was looking at the scene was dumbfounded and hearing what he said, she was even more confused, what did he mean?

"Me… I, attack?" Tillie looked confused and became alert because she noticed something different, is this really her brother?

She remembered the past when her elder brother pranked her and beat her when she was a child, but when his father beat him up, he ignored her and didn't even talk to her since then, their only interaction was only when her elder brother always looks at her with hatred or sometimes sneering at her.

She knew that she was the reason why their mother died so she always behaved and didn't cause trouble when she was young. Except for her father, she can feel her elder brother and sisters are always distancing away from her, especially her elder brother.

So, she always wanted to ease the situation and wants to be accepted. She always gave them a gift. It's okay for the second elder brother and elder sister but her eldest brother was hard-headed and always ignored her. She even switches to two-sword, expecting her brother will notice and help her, and she's right, she was really noticed by him but he still ignores her which made her sad. There are times, she wanted to give up but she shook her head and motivates herself, until… When she heard the news that her elder brother got the punishment.

She remembers that time she cried on her bed alone. Her mother was already gone since she was born, and her father also died, then followed by her elder brother who got the punishment, don't know if he will return alive.

And their family became unlucky since that day, her second brother and a third sister had a qualification to enter an A or S class University but she was surprised because they didn't manage to enter, and only helplessly enter B-class University.

She also feels something different in her school, the way some teachers look indifferently at her. Tilly has always been bright since she was young, she feels the incident that happened to their family wasn't a coincidence or someone was manipulating them, she doesn't know what their purpose was but she had always been careful since that day.

So, she's looking warily at him now.

Tristan looked at her confusedly and think she didn't understand what he said again: "Attack me, I want to see how far you've come in your training"

There's really something different!

Tillie knew the way her eldest brother looked at him, it was not like this now. Maybe an impostor? A Disguise Unique Ability?

And the way he appeared here as if nothing was happening, she knew her brother was in Black Region, the worst region in Artheran, she expected her brother may die or if returned, he may have tons of injury, maybe lost a hand or feet or something like that. Not like a Tristan that appeared here and have a handsome black coat, and looked okay then suddenly appeared here.

Conspiracy! They must be here to kill me!

Do they want to kill me, damn it!

I'm still alone here, second brother, third sister!

"Are you attacking or not?" Tristan lost his patience looking at her standing and not doing anything.

Tillie bit her lip and want to run but she feels she can't escape with this guy.

She can feel a terrifying aura with this guy.

She hesitates a bit but was helpless. She can only pray that the guy in front of her will not kill her and only capture her.

No, it's also worse if she was captured. She heard many rumors and some news of people getting kidnapped and then raped, if it's not raped, they will take your part, your kidney, heart, etc then they will throw your body in the river.

Thinking of these, she shivered. She was really scared, even though she was intelligent, she was still a teenager and only 15, how could she stand it? But she was no choice but to follow him.

"I, I see, I will start now" Tillie started to thinking a plan maybe she can sneak attack him.

Then she started to attack…

It's so slow!

Tristan didn't bother to defend it but moved on his side to dodge.

Then he saw her taking a new form to attack.

He dodges, but he was surprised because she suddenly changes her direction.

But…

It's still fucking slow.

Tristan dodges it again and then strikes his sword toward her neck.

Tillie stopped moving and looked nervously at him.

"If it's a real fight, you've already been dead"

Tristan said coldly at her.

"Another round, attack me" he added.

Tillie nodded and attack him.

Tristan dodged it and seeing her next attack coming again, he parried it, and because of a strong force, Tillie stepped back.

"You can perform a basic sword very well, but there's one lacking, your footwork, and I can see it, like this" Tristan immediately attack her.

Tillie was forced to defend it with her two swords but she was surprised because, from this stance, it seems she can attack it based on the form so she takes this opportunity to attack, but then…

My bad!

It's a bait

But it was too late because his front body was already slashing so she could only immediately step back at random, and then she tripped on the ground. When she was about to get up, she feels a sharp sword on her neck.

"You have many problems, you're just memorizing the form, and you didn't train much with your footwork, so once I disrupt your momentum you can only think of a method in the next form with only your upper body but not adjust your lower b--" Tristan suddenly stopped talking when he feels tiny sounds of vibration.

It's a vibration of the blade of the sword.

He feels it coming and slashing toward his neck.

"Die!" Tillie shouted and said.

CLANG

But…

She didn't succeed.

She only just saw a sword suddenly deflected his sword and she stepped back.

"What the hell are you doing?" She only heard a chilling voice while looking at her.

Tillie felt shivered by the strong pressure in front of her.

"I can feel a killing intent coming to you, so, say, what the hell are you doing?" Tristan was surprised when her sister suddenly sneaked an attack to kill him, and feel hurt deep inside. He suddenly thought, did the fourth child have a grudge against him?

So, he looked at her and asked for an explanation. If yes, then he could only go away here. He cannot blame her if she really wants to kill him. But he cannot kill her because he can't, he owes her for destroying her childhood, he really can't…

"You, you… who the hell are you?" Tillie gripped her both swords looking nervously at him. In this state, she can even hear the rapid beating of her heart. Her body especially her face was sweating profusely.

Will she die this time?

She regrets it this time. She shouldn't really do that.

Mother, Father, Brother, I will follow you now.

Then she saw him coming towards her. And each of his footsteps was like a time of death that signaled that she was about to die.

She really can take this pressure and retreat from her step but she was always followed by him step by step.

"Wha-what a-are y-you doing, ah" While retreating she tripped on the ground again. And seeing his footstep already approaching her, she could only close her eyes while forming a cross-defense stance with her sword. She already knows her fate, she's going to die.

Beldum who was watching on the sides looked at her like an idiot. You're forming a defense stance and then closing your eyes?

Even Tristan in front of Tillie was dumbfounded. He thinks, what the hell are you doing?

"What do you mean by saying who I am?"

Tillie looked up at him with one eye and said nervously: "I…I, I, k-knew, you… you're not my eldest brother! You…You're here to a-assassinate me, right?"

Tristan: "…."

Beldum: "…."

(System): "…."

"Huh?" All three of them were confused.

[Tristan, I think your sister misunderstand you]

Tristan also knitted his brows and asked her: "Why do you think, I'm not your brother?"

"Th-that, o-o-otherwise when did you get that expensive clothes, and-a-and your contract beast, my eldest brother doesn't have a contract beast, I heard he was sent to Black Region, he must experience a hard life or injury, maybe lose his limb, and also my eldest brother doesn't have a temperament like you, I, I know him, my eldest brother had an arrogant and noisy attitude, a-and my elder brother doesn't like me, he doesn't even bother me or even teach me liked what you-you're do-doing r-right n-n-now wuu..wuuu.wuu" Remembering her experience with her eldest brother really made her cry right now.

At first, Tristan was surprised then he frowned when he heard her sister imagining him losing his limb and shouted in his heart, is that what you really think of me? But he trembled when he heard her describing his former self.

"T-Tillie!" This was the first time he called her name.

"Huh!" Tillie stopped crying then she looked at him, why he still didn't kill me. And by the way, he's calling my name? ah, eh, I forgot he's an impostor.

"Remembered when you're six-year-old birthday I put chili on your cake and you were struggling to swallow it then drank water then looked at me with doubt, then it happens several times I pranked you so you can't help but approached me, asking me why I did that to you, then I slapped your face, stomped your chest and waist and cursing you a criminal for killing my mother, you're crying at that time and have an injury but you didn't tell it to father, my father just noticed your bruised especially to your face, so he checked your chest and asked us who did it, Timothy couldn't help but told the truth followed by Tiffany, so he beat us, especially me. Then you brought me some medicine the following day but I threw it at that time. Then I always Ignored you at that time because I was always afraid of my father. I still remember on my birthday, you secretly put a gift in my room, and it happened every year but you know what did I do to your gift? I threw it in the trash can, and maybe you already knew it because you're an intelligent girl. So, I'm asking myself at that time, why you're always persistent? And you really gave it to me every year huh? You knew, I really don't like you, I always thought of you as a criminal at that time, I also saw sometimes you're using a two-sword in training, why? Is that your way of attracting my attention to you? Tillie, Tillie... Tillie Black... I ask you... Are you a martyr?"

When Tillie heard what he said, her eyes and mouth widened, and pointing at him with shock: "You… You... You… Are you really my brother?"


Capítulo 21: Tillie's Surprise, Tillie's Training, and Another Beldum Reappearance (1/2)

"Otherwise what?" Tristan sneered and said.

"H-h-how is tha-thatt possi…ble? Ah...eh… no, you…" Tillie was stuttering and don't know what to say.

Looking at her like an idiot, Tristan couldn't help but frown and coldly said "What are you trying to say? "

Tilly was embarrassed and could only look down, she was speechless.

"Can you stand up? Look, look at you… Look at your performance right now, is that how you use a sword, closing your eyes? You're shaming the Black Family!" Tristan coldly said.

This was the first time in long years she was scolded again by his eldest brother and still couldn't help but be ashamed and bowed her head.

"Are you not going to stand up?"

"Ye…Yes" She immediately get up and patted her suit to let the dust off but she didn't dare to look at him.

Silence.

Feeling the awkward and silent situation, she couldn't help but look at him.

"What?" He asked.

"Aye! Tha-that, brother are-are you really the eldest brother? You really not going to kill me?" Tilly was still timid and doubted the sudden appearance of her brother, she was hesitating but she courage herself to ask him.

"Ho, you still can't believe it?" Tristan snickered at him.

"No, no, it's not that i-" But she stopped what she saying when a huge slash came to her.

"32 Pound Slash"

Shiiing

The tree behind her exploded, she didn't even react then another burst came towards her.

"Thunder Breathing First Form: Double Slash Flash Cutter!"

Chiiii

Shang!

Another tree was cut in a half behind her.

What happened, she was surprised then looked behind her she saw the afterimages of Tristan vanish then she felt a sword near her neck.

What?

She looked again and saw Tristan with a sword on her back.

He looked at her and coldly said: "You can't even react to my attack or maybe you think highly of yourself. Remember If I really wanted to kill you, you will die anytime without even knowing what happen"

Then he returned his sword to the sheath.

Realizing what he meant, Tillie was ashamed of herself again. And she couldn't help but agree with what he said. If he really wanted to kill her, there are many ways to do it, he didn't need to explain to her, and just kill her directly.

And furthermore, she was shocked about her eldest brother's strength. She didn't know what level it that but he guessed it was a Senior Level or maybe… an Expert? But she saw some Senior Instructor in their school but it seems they aren't strong as his brother, in other words, his strength might reach… Expert?

In just 2 years from Proficient to Expert?

How could it be, didn't they say Eldest Brother was sent to the Black Region, isn't that the poorest and most dangerous region? How did the brother survive? How did he become strong? They said there are few resources there. Or it was just a lie and he really didn't go there? There are many questions appeared in her mind about the situation of her brother in the past 2 years.

She looks at him, then looks, and then looks again.

"Speak, what you want to say?"

"Brother, did you really go to Black Region?"

"Yes"

"Are the beast dangerous?"

"Yes"

"How many?"

"Thousands!"

"Oh my God! Then…. Then are you okay? Are you injured?"

"What do you think? Do I look like injured in front of you?"

"Sorry, I'm so dumb!" Tilly lower her head and apologized.

"Yeah, I know"

"Hiii" Tillie took damage with that.

"Then, b-brother are you an expert?"

"Just broke through last night!"

Tilly's eyes and mouth widened again because her brother had just broken through last night meant he fought the beasts there with just Senior Strength. She heard from her teacher that there are many experts who died in the Black Region but her brother survived with just Senior Strength.

"Come here" Tristan walked through the training ground again and called her.

Seeing her brother calling her couldn't help but sighed helplessly and follow him. There are still many things she wanted to say but only hide deep inside herself.

After returning to the training ground.

Tristan looked at her and said "Fight me"

Since they broke the misunderstanding, he felt eased and back to training. He only has a few hours and at the midnight he needs to return.

Tillie knew what he meant and prepared her sword and fight. He didn't know why his brother seems didn't hate her now and also plan to teach her. But she pushed it out of her mind, he likes his current brother compared to before.

After looking at each other, she grips her sword and focused, this was only her opportunity to learn swordsmanship with her brother.

A few minutes later

"Is this your footwork? If you won't learn to adjust your footwork orderly, then you will be easily killed by the enemy"

20 minutes later

"Learn to balance your upper body and lower body, you're just focusing on the upper part, it's no wonder your footwork was terrible, you will be easily killed by beasts and some enemies by doing this"

10 minutes later

"I said you need to balance your upper and lower body but it doesn't mean you will stagnant your body in the same position, try to move in other places using another form of a sword, break the opponent's momentum, and don't make them think for their next move, and make sure your sword can strike fast, if you cannot do it, you will really be killed in the future"

2 minutes later

"Footwork, you forgot your footwork again. See, you will easily lose your balance because you can't manage your footwork. Normal (E) beasts can easily kill you like this."

30 minutes later

"No wonder I feel something wrong with your form, you're clearly memorizing, right? I advise you to stop thinking about what you will do, but engrave what form you learn to your bones and make your move in harmony. Our technique is a fast pace battle so stop always thinking and make your own combination, every second is important, if you fight a warrior expert in fighting and think in a middle of a battle, you will die without a doubt"

1 hour later

"Footwork, always remember the basics! And with this hour, I will test your footwork and reflex. Always move in fighting to avoid an unexpected scenario that might kill you in surprise"

In this hour, Tristan trained her in an extreme and force her to learn many important things in one go that's because he had no time left, he just wants her to engrave all of what he told her today, she didn't need to do it all at once but remember in the future she trains.

30 minutes later, the sky already darkened hours ago.

Tristan saw her already kneeling and panting on the ground.

"Can you still stand up?"

"Y-yes" Tillie felt a little tired but she still forces herself to stand up.

"I suggest you find a sparring every day and practice your form, it's not good to just practice alone, it will not help you on contrary, it will only delay you"

"Hu… Hu… I, I understand" She nodded.

"Let's come back"

Tristan immediately returned to their house.

Tillie looked at him and follow.

As for beldum, it already returned hours ago because it feels bored so it wants to bully its friend (The other beldum)

Inside the Livingroom, she saw her brother sitting in a chair and he signaled her to sit in the other chair in his front.

"B-brother, do you want to eat something?"

When Tristan heard what she said, he really felt hungry but he quickly shook his head and said "I'm not hungry, just sit, there's something I want to tell you"

Tillie couldn't help but be disappointed but she nodded and hurriedly sit on the chair looking uneasy in front of his brother.

Tristan put a piece of the scroll on the table and passed it on to her.

"What is this?" She gets the scroll and looked confused about what is it.

"Put your blood in it" He just said.

"Blood?" She became more and more confused.

"It's a summoning contract beast"

"What!" She exclaimed and her mouth widened.

She held the scroll and carefully put it back on the table.

"Brother, it's so precious, I really can't take it" Tillie nervously said to him.

"So, you will reject it?" Tristan glared at her coldly and asked.

Tillie became even more nervous, especially with his brother's look, she remembers earlier seems his elder brother already ease his attitude towards her and even guide him in training so if she really rejects it now, will his attitude return to disgusting mode?

She hesitated, actually, she really likes it now, especially when his brother trained her. This is the moment that she always asks for and it happens. Even though he cursed her that she will die if she can't do it, it was still reasonable for her and his teaching had an essence and was straightforward, unlike some instructors who are pretending they were deep but lack of essence.

So, his elder brother whom he used to fear became the coolest brother in front of her. He looks like a young version of their father, it's really similar.

"Then what about…second brother and third sister?" Tillie asked him.

"Don't worry I will give them" Tristan was surprised by her question and nodded. But not for now, because he doesn't even have enough points to maintain his points for himself.

"I see" Tillie sighed in relief when he said that.

"Then what will I do?"

"Just put blood on it. I suggest you bite your thumb, it's easier"

"Okay" Tilly nodded then took the scroll then opened it and look at her thumb, she hesitated slightly but quickly bite it and then put the blood in the scroll.

"Is it ok?"

"Yes!"

"Then..." Tillie still doubts this type of contract because she didn't read it in the book or heard from someone about making a contract like this. The teachers told them the contract was about the spirit of the warriors and the beast, not blood.

"What will I do now?"

"Activate it in your hand using your E-energy then push your hand on the ground"

"I have an E-energy? I'm still 15… ah wait" Tillie stopped then slapped her forehead. She forgot, even though she still doesn't have an Element, E-energy already exist on their body, it's just, it's too little.

"Activate it!" Tristan said, he also wanted to see it.

"Okay" Tillie activates her E-energy and pushes her hand to the ground.

BOOM

Whiing!

A crystal blue color iron ball appeared. But there seems a problem, why this beldum was crying?

The beldum suddenly saw its owner in front and approached her and cried.

Whiiing!

Tillie was also surprised and immediately hug it.

It's the same iron ball she met before, it's just a different color.

(System What it said?)

[It says, the white beldum are stealing its food and beating it]

(That little guy?)

Tristan frowned and quickly activated his summoning contract.

BOOM!

Whiiing

Tillie's beldum made a noise loudly and hide behind her.

"Bastard what did you do?" Tristan asked it.

Tristan's beldum became nervous and lowered his head.

"Say it!"

Whiiing! Whiiing!

(It said, the other beldum don't want to play with it because it has a different color so it beat them and steal their food)

Tristan was surprised and remembered what the system said about the shiny before, it seems it was really true.

He was helpless of this so he only said "Apologise to it"

Tristan's beldum pouted even though there was no mouth and quickly approached it.

Whhiiiing

Tillie's beldum was still afraid but hearing its apologies, it responds with a nod and accepted its apologies but still afraid and still hiding behind Tilly

Tristan Beldum appeared in his front and made a noise again.

(It said, it doesn't want to go back, it just wanted to stay here)

"I see" Tristan knew what it meant, its race doesn't like this guy so it's better to stay here.

Then he immediately throws a poke block in front of Tillie. "This was the food of this guy. By the way, the name of this guy was Beldum"

"This is?" Tillie looked at it and she saw her beldum approach it and put it on the bottom of its eye.

Tristan's Beldum also made a noise.

"I know, I know here's your portion" Then he also gave a poke block to it.

After that, he passed the mixer converter to her and explain how to use it.
