Chapitre 23: Noble Snobb
chapter 22.
01.Reskeme woke up with a yawn, He blinked several times and stretched. Immediately Reskeme regretted his decision and went back to not moving to try to focus on staying as still as possible. He took in deep breaths focusing on calming his breathing. When Reskeme finally got up the courage to stand he looked down at his mostly naked body, He was covered in purple bruises one on his side, one just above his knee, these were the worse. Reskeme felt he could ignore most of these painful wounds although he decided to try healing the side wound. He channelled his mana and wrapped it around his chest, The wound started feeling slightly better but didn't seem to improve much after that. Reskeme was extremely confused as he had healed an open would before, maybe he was doing his spell wrong for this specific type of wound he thought.
02. Reskeme realized he couldn't just throw as much mana as he could channel and heal any wound, he was going to need to learn the proper spell for healing this specific type of wound. Reskeme tried healing his leg wound and just like his side wound the swelling went down a little other than that nothing happened. he was confused and decided based on the angle of the shadows outside that he was probably already late. It was not a good idea to piss off the man who paid him. When Reskeme looked at his uniform lying on the floor he grimaced, It had no tares other than the leg tare. Although the uniform had mud and dirt covering the uniform from head to toe.
03. Reskeme was concerned as he was certain Hank would be angry at his dirty uniform. Reskeme knew Hank didn't like his messengers to be unprofessional. Reskeme dressed in his dirty clothes wincing at the pain of moving and the pain of looking at his once clean outfit covered in dirt. The clothing wasn't too bad some of the dirt dried and was easily brushed off. Reskeme brushed of his outfit trying to clean off the blood but much to his annoyance the blood wouldn't come off as the dirt did. Reskeme slipped his pants on and his coat hoping he could avoid dying when his boss discovered he had completely trashed the uniform. Reskeme channelled his mana and wrapped it around his body focusing on dark skin, He then wrapped mana around his head changing his hair. Reskeme was a little upset as maybe he could hide how dirty his clothes were, He tried casting the third layer but couldn't channel enough mana to create it. Reskemes Familiar seemed happy as it smiled at him and chuckled its hissing laugh as he put on his blood-covered clothes.
04. Reskeme crawled out the window and laid onto the roof, He made his way to the gutter before crawling down. Reskeme was panting and breathing hard from the climb, He had noo idea why climbing hurt so much. Reskeme was planning in his head on ways he could make the bird gang life miserable as he really didn't appreciate being covered in bruises. Reskeme breathed deeply as a spasm of pain shot through his side. When the boy could finally breathe again, He continued in the direction of the messengers guild hall. Reskeme was relieved when he spotted the messengers guildhall, He limped over and climbed up the stairs.
05. Reskeme Breathed deeply and opened the door expecting the worst from the messengers guild master. When Hank looked up and spotted the bruised and dirty looking Reskeme he showed concern at the boy's sorry state. Hank said, "I heard From one of the guards that a Messenger had died last night and now you were attacked as well"? Reskeme was baffled at the words of the man. Reskeme asked, "A messenger was killed last night?" with a look of rage and sorrow Hank said," Yes one of our members was returning from delivering a message and was attacked by what they are saying was a demon.
06. Reskeme stared at the huge man who had a grim expression, With a look that conveyed his Regret Reskeme said" I'm sorry for your loss." with a concerned look Hank said, "what on Laurentia happened to get you all covered in dirt and blood.?" When Reskeme opened his mouth to tell the same lie as he told the guards, Hank glared daggers and cut him off. Hank said," The guards told me about your story of how you fell down some stairs" He continued," I will kick your ass if you don't tell me what happened." Reskeme could see that hank was serious and decided he shouldn't lie.
07. Reskeme recounted his story to Hank when he told about the stuck up well-dressed man, hanks face was red with anger. Hank said, "That damned noble has been causing me trouble as long as I can remember if I didn't have the backing of the city lord I would have been screwed. Hank said, "I'm glad you beat up his good for nothing son", Reskeme said, "Well we more beat each other up, I'm not sure anyone won." Hank smirked, He said," I heard from the guard that you bit off the boy's ear." Reskeme nodded shegrined as Hank burst out laughing unable to contain himself. Still smiling Hank said, "follow me we are going to get your clothing cleaned up. He continued ill have them cleaned by our maid while you go and deliver a message to the garrison".
08.Hank eyed up Reskeme before he said, "A sergeant mike requested my permission to allow you to train with the guards". The guard said, "he liked you and was concerned with your safety". Hank smiled and said, "we have never gotten an offer for one of our members to get training from the garrison". He said "they have some good fighters who have retired and are now trainers"Reskeme was excited he said," If I get some fighting practice, the next time I get attacked I will kick that damn peacock's ass." Hank said," Who on Laurentia is the peacock?" Reskeme said, "Well he is the son of the noble and the guy Whose ear I bit off." Hank stared at him before his lips turned into a huge smile. He was mumbling to himself "that little shit really does look like a colourful peacock now that I think about it".
09. Reskeme walked into the back room and changed his outfit, There was a whole bunch of basic cotton shirts and basic cotton pants all lined up on the shelf. Reskeme wondered why they needed soo many plain-looking clothes but decided it didn't matter as he was able to find a shirt and pants that fit him. Reskeme wondered where the maid was but quickly left that thought when Hank entered carrying a sealed scroll. Hank eyed up the now clean and plain dressed young man. Reskeme reached out his hand as Hank passed him the scroll, Reskeme smiled and with anticipation, he slowly trudged towards the door.
10. He opened the door squinted at the light before he entered the street. Reskeme looked up and down the street trying to identify any threats that might be hiding. After standing around for a minute looking like an idiot while staring at everyone, Reskeme headed for the guards Training yard. Reskeme contemplated what was in the letter while he was walking to his destination. The boy found he was starting to really like the looks everyone was now giving him, He no longer received looks of distaste and hatred. THe looks of the people he walked past were one of kindness and acceptance. His mood was much improved on this trip, As he even got several friendly waves from people who were passing by.
11. Reskeme spotted a building in the distance and made his way for it, luckily for the boy there was a sign saying this was indeed the garrison. Reskeme strolled up to the two guards who were looking bored and had nothing to do. One guard noticed him and gave him a wink before he said, What can we do for you, young sir." Reskeme presented the letter to the guard who took it and examined the seal. He said, "Wait right here I need to fetch the sergent." Reskeme Smiled at the speediness of soldiers, they all seemed to be in a rush to wait for people. This made no sense to the boy, As hurrying up just to wait seemed like a waste of time. The other guard was eyeing him up, The guard seemed unsure of what to make of the young Reskeme.
12. Reskeme asked, "so what is training in the garrison like?" The guard was bored soo he decided to answer the young messenger. The guard said, " It certainly is not easy, the trainers especially the weapons master is a brutal trainer, the master has made most of the guards much more skilled, However the strict training and intense Regemene cause many to decide a solders life is not for them. The guard's face was completely serious, He had a look of fear and respect in his eyes when he was talking about the weapons master.
13. Reskeme was going to ask more about this master when Sergent mike arrived at the gate and shouted "there you are". Reskeme heard the cheerful tone and smiled as Mike walked over and presented his elbow to the smaller boy. Reskeme was unsure what to do as he had never done this greeting before. Mike said," It is a common courtesy of the guards and soldiers of this garrison, The salute is a symbol of our unity, just cross forearms with me." Reskeme did soo and felt the strength of the big guard in armour as the man pushed against him for a moment. Reskeme was almost pushed over but found he rather like that greeting, as it allowed people to present their strength and even check if they had weapons hidden up their sleeve. Reskeme found that part useful as he now knew Sergent mike had a knife in his sleeve.
14. Sergent mike said, "I talked to the master and told him about your magic, luckily for you, the master is interested enough to give you a chance." He continued, " I decided i would help you to stay alive and with people disappearing the only way I can do that is find a way to make you stronger. Mike said,"Myself and the Messengers guild master Hank, have also decided to get you a weapon as it is pointless to train you to fight if you don't even carry the weapon you are trained in." Mike saw the look of excitement on Reskemes face and decided to give the other news, Unfortunately for you this will mean more work for you and it will also mean the Messengers guild will be making you pay off the 30 silvers required to make you a weapon. Reskeme informed the guard that he was already trying to pay off a naginata, Mike smiled and nodded. Mike said, "Tellys shop?" Reskeme smiled wondering how the guard knew it was that one.
15. Mike smiled at the confusion before he said," Don't worry about it, Us guards need to know when someone is buying a weapon, its kind of our jobs you know." The sergeant winked before saying, "Starting today you will begin your training with the weapons master, and I do expect you to try your hardest to not piss the master off too much." Reskeme winced before saying," I'm a little bruised but I will give it a try." Mike said," you better not say you can't do something because of a few bruises, otherwise the master will make your life hell. Reskeme was following Mike through the gate when a woman who was absolutely the tallest person he had ever seen, dragged a man who looked bruised and battered to the room that said sleeping quarters. She lifted him up and tossed him in like he was dirty clothes. Sergent Mike smiled and said, "Ahh Reskeme I would like to introduce you to weapons master Katherine"Reskeme was shocked and intimidated, the woman was massive and looked strong, Each arm was bulging with muscle and she was covered in leather armour that was covering every portion of her body except her joints which seemed to have some sort of chain metal.
