Chapitre 6: He succeeded to catch his attention
Axel replied simply : "Thanks to training."
Kevin shook his head and said : "Impossible, even with practice, you have moved so fast that it was like you had teleported."
Axel wasn't a very patient person and he didn't particularly like talking with people, but this young man had managed to pique his curiosity, he asked him : "What's your name ?"
Kevin took the dagger back from him and replied : "Kevin."
Axel then saw the badge on Kevin's sweater and asked him doubtfully : "Are you a mage ?"
Kevin followed his gaze and saw the badge he had put on his sweater in case anyone asked him what he was doing there practicing.
He replied perplexe : "I just signed up and I needed to relax a little bit, aren't mages allowed to use the training ground ?"
After all it was a possibility he hadn't considered, maybe mages and fighters didn't mix.
Axel shook his head and replied with a hint of a smile : "Of course you can use the training ground, it's just very unusual for a mage to know how to fight."
Axel added : "Your technique with the stick was amazing, it was very impressive, but your lack of stamina is quite a shame."
Kevin wanted to tell him 'No kidding !' but he restrained himself in time and decided to compliment him too : "Actually, I came back here to observe your sword technique, it was the first time that I have seen such a technique, I hope I will have the opportunity to see you again training."
Although Kevin was tall he still had to lift his head to look at Axel in the eye and Axel said to him : "So it was you who were with Alan ... My name is Axel, and I don't think you will have a lot of time to come and see us training.
The mages and fighters are in separate buildings, but maybe we will be able to see each other on our day off, I would like to see again your technique too.
But first of all, you should focus on your mage training. If you like to fight then keep it to relax like now, you'll see once the classes start you won't have much free time after that."
Kevin said politely : "Thanks for your advice Axel, I hope we will meet again then, if you let me observe your technique, I will teach you mine. But the stick technique was nothing, my specialty is the daggers."
Kevin smiled at him and waved his hand before leaving. He put the daggers and broomstick back in place and left the training ground without a glance back.
Axel was completely astonished by this last revelation. A smile appeared on his face, finally someone had succeeded to catch his attention, he would definitely try to keep contact with this guy.
Kevin once he was out of the main square, walked to a store that bought and sold a bit of everything. He was sure that he could sell the jewelry and the sword here without any risk.
Once inside the store he wasted no time looking on the shelves and went straight to the manager that Kevin had met already many times in the past.
The exchange went quickly and smoothy and since the manager knew Kevin well, he made no attempt to cheat him. So with this sale he had just obtained 80 more gold coins.
He left the store after chatting a bit with the manager and then he headed for a cheap inn. He booked for two nights, and with the meals included, it only cost him 1 gold coin.
Once in his room he took out the magic bag that uncle Douglas had given to him and the book that he had inherited from 'his parents', and he decided to start with the magic bag.
Inside he found a cauldron, some books about alchemy and a book to learn spells from level 1 to 5.
There was also a large box that contained vials of different colors, on the box was written, 'Material needed to make low grade potions'.
There were also 3 boxes and inside of them there were 5 different kinds of magical herbs. He decided to take out the books to study them and leave the rest in the magic bag for the moment.
Before taking a closer look at the book Kevin's parents had left for him, he pulled out the two daggers from his magic bag and tested them.
He winced when he realized that they weren't well balanced, the handle was too heavy and the blade too light. He was going to have to practice a lot to make sure to control them properly.
After that he decided to do some stretching, he absolutely needed to loosen up this body which was as stiff as a stake. And finally he did some workouts to strengthen the parts of his body that needed it the most.
When he was satisfied and exhausted with his workouts, he went to take a shower before going downstairs to eat. Fortunately, even though technology seemed totally absent from this world, there was still a minimum of comfort and showers were part of it.
Once he was clean he went downstairs and before he sat down at a table, he kindly asked the receptionist of the inn, if he could borrow a pencil and a paper.
The man graciously provided him with it, asking him to return the pencil to him once he was done and Kevin nodded, smiling at him.
His dinner was quickly served and Kevin as he ate began to make a list of what he would need to buy before leaving Dawn city.
He thought about it carefully, and a stone to sharpen his daggers and some weights for training, he could surely find all of these when he will be in the Sun Sect.
What he needed first were new clothes, a good assassin had always plenty different sets in order to disguise himself for his different missions.
Well he wasn't an assassin anymore but this kind of habit was hard to forget and he still needed some for his training and for fighting.
He also wanted outfits that would allow him to disappear in a crowded place and on the contrary others that would enhance him, he might need to seduce someone, he couldn't neglect that possibility.
He would go in an armory too, two daggers weren't enough to make him feel safe, in his past life he always hid at least six blades on him.
He added to his list bandages, disinfectant, or at worst alcohol, and threads and needles, everything to make a first aid kit.
He used to take care of his injuries himself and he wasn't planning on going to Alan for help or going to the infirmary of the Sun Sect every time he got hurt.
