Capítulo 22: Marriage???
Ellen and Boku made there way back home, with a crying mother greeting them them when they entered the house. Ellen slowly explains the events that transpired and how Boku saved her life again which her mother continuously thanked Boku, Ellen became embarrassed since her mother was a stern lady who never backs down yet to think she would be in tears and showing so much emotion to a third party!
"That's it I've decided.....Ellen marry Boku!" The mother calmly stated with a straight face, after wiping her tears.
...
...
...
It took awhile for Ellen to process what her dear mother just said and when she did realize, her cheeks brightened bright red!
"M-M-M-MOTHER!" She shouted out at the top of her lungs!
"What? The boy is perfect for you, he can protect you and do you think he will be able to live by himself? Also why are you mad when you do l-"
"MOTHER!" Ellen quickly interrupted her mother's talk but she was so flustered about the situation that all that came out of her mouth was just one word. Honestly, what could she do in such a predicament when the person in question was right in the room? Who wouldn't feel embarrassed about the sudden "demand" from her parent?
Ellen and her mother continue to bicker with each other about Boku's marriage without counseling Boku about it. What was Boku doing at the time? Well he was simply mentally practicing sword techniques against the men he fought against not too long ago, to check if there was a faster way of dealing with them. As a swordsmen not only do you need to be physically strong but also mentally to quickly adapt to a change of situation.
However don't misunderstand, Boku did hear about the talk of marriage but the problem is...he doesn't know what that is! All he has been doing in his life was training with a sword! There was no time for him to dwell on marriages!
As he doesn't understand what they are talking about, he simply let the conversation continue like it didn't concern him in the slightest.
"T-that's it! Come on Boku, we are heading out!" Finally unable to take her mother's actions, she grabbed Boku's arm and fled the house!
"*sigh* This daughter of mine..." After her daughter running like that, all she could do was sigh. "Says she doesn't want to marry yet dragging the person in question....Dale doesn't even get such treatment..."
--------------------
*sigh* what am I going to do... it's nearly evening. I arrived at the Tetis kingdom after I left that vampire house since...I still need to think of a plan.
The streets still don't have a bright mood and instead seems to just be filled with sadness and despair, what the hell is going on with this place!Well it's not my problem at the end of the day of the affairs happening in this kingdom.
Scratching my head helplessly, I decided to wander further into the kingdom as I have only really seen the outer parts of it and maybe some great inspiration will come my way.
————————
"Geez! Can you believe what my mum was saying Boku?" Ellen, still unable to let go off her mothers comment, started to rant to Boku.
"Is it that big of a deal?" Unable to understand why her friend was still on the topic, Boku finally spoke about it.
"u..um-uh" Hearing Boku comment, The brain cells in Ellen's brain started to spiral out of control! Big deal? Of course, it's a big deal! Why aren't you as flustered as me! What with that calm reaction! Acting like this doesn't involve you! Such thoughts started to pile inside Ellen's mind that she ran off!
"eh?" Seeing Ellen running off, Boku began to chase her down wondering what she is doing. You want to play tag? He thought to himself.
'Stupid!Stupid!Stupid' While running, Ellen didn't look back and just continued down the street, Boku tailing behind her who is slowly catching up!
——————————
"I wonder if I could completely freeze the barrier and destroy it?" I mutter to myself but immediately discarded such an idea. God what's wrong with me! How could I think I would be able to freeze that barrier at my level!
*sigh*
I stare at the bracelet Zurie handed me, 'Could I amplify its power so others around me can enter the barrier?' I thought but realised where would I find a way to do that in my limited time?
Feeling lost about the situation, I started to poke on the red circle that's attached to the bracelet. Eventually, I began to insert some of my ice energy into it, to see if some reaction would occur but the gem just started to show a layer of frost. Nothing else.
"This is hop-" As I was about to voice my frustration, I got cut off by a girl that bumped straight to my chest! This blond haired girl and I stumbled back but luckily I managed to regain balance and not fall over like an idiot.
"What the?" Regaining my balance I voice my confusion on how this girl managed to bump into me but I see tears flowing through her eyes. She must have not been looking in front of her.
"S-sorry!" With a shy voice, she apologises and started to run past me.
That was quite sudden. Just as I continue my day, I notice something was missing…..the bracelet! Did that bitch steal my bracelet! Tch, focusing my energy to my legs, I lept off the ground and chased her! Quickly closing the distance between us that it didn't even take 10 breaths before she got to arms reach.' I will smash her head on the ground' I thought and extended my right hand to grab her head but before I completely reach it, I felt killing intent above me!
"Crap" I freeze my left hand and stop my legs; turning immediately to block the enemy's strike
Cling! Sounded as his sword and my iced knuckles collided.
--------------------------------------
A few seconds before the clash…
Boku could catch up to Ellen anytime but he thought she was playing some game with him, as such decided to slow his pace but gradually catch up to her. As he was chasing her, he noticed Ellen bumping into a tall figure but immediately began to run off again.
Boku thought nothing of it and was about to be where the person was but then he felt killing intent from the person, who suddenly dashed straight to Ellen!
' I won't let you' Boku thought and used Mystic mist first step vanish. Vanishing, leaving a trail of mist, then appearing above Jack!
Boku takes out his katana and slashes it down on Jack! Thinking he would easily take care of Jack, Boku decided to do a normal attack with his sword but against his expectation, Jack blocked it with his frozen hand! 'He noticed me?' Boku, caught in surprise, thought.
However Boku wasn't the only one surprised, Jack was too since Boku's sword didn't break! From what Jack experienced, any time his ice hands made contact with a weapon, they always break yet Boku's sword is fine! Not even a crack!
"Tch, you with that bitch" Jack asks impatiently.
"Don't call her that" Boku answered Jack calmly but inside he felt a little angry at him for calling his benefactor a "bitch".
"Mystic mist first step vanish" Boku once again disappears, leaving some mist.
"What the?"
'Mystic mist second step pierce' Boku appears behind but before he could attack, Jack immediately bounced back away from Boku; giving off a dark expression.
'This kid….he actually tried to kill me inside the kingdom' Jack thought.
Boku was surprised that someone managed to avoid his attack since when he left his village, he has yet to face an opponent that could handle his sword techniques. Jack is his first true opponent since leaving!
Both of them move in, Jack freezes his right hand and punches while Boku ducks, swinging his sword at Jacks legs!
Jack jumps and flings his right leg straight to Boku's head!
Mystic mist first step vanish! Before his feet collided, Boku vanishes!
"Tsk" Jack started to be annoyed. 'That girl is getting away! But this swordsman is not so simple'
Slash!
When Jack landed, Boku reapered and slashed at his head!
Dodge! Slash! Dodge! Slash!Cling!Slash!
Boku attacks while Jack dodges or blocks, with Boku constantly vanishing and attacking it leads to Jack only being able to defend.
'He is still alive' Honestly Boku expected to finish the fight quickly yet his opponent keeps preventing his death! Through his attacks he has used 'Mystic mist fourth step delay' and 'mystic mist second step pierce' which Jack always avoids but Boku also used normal attacks which Jack blocks with his hands! The problem with the 'mystic mist step' techniques are only the first step can be used whenever while the rest need to fill a condition!
However it seems Boku isn't the only one surprised that his opponent hasn't fallen as Jack wonders how the opponents sword not break yet! At first he thought the sword might have slightly better durability compared to the rest but this blade has yet to show even a crack!
Boku swings downwards but this time instead of dodging, Jack reaches for Boku's wrist! Holding his wrist which shocked Boku, he said "I got you now!" Jack said and with force enough to cause pain but not kill ,using his right hand, punched Boku in the stomach!
Facing Jack's pure punch, that's encased in ice with no armour, Boku couldn't help but cough out some blood. Since Jack held on to Boku's wrist, it didn't lead to him flying off but still in Jack's clutches.
Jack attacks again! And again! And again!
Bam!Bam!Bam!
"URGH" Boku coughed up more blood and some went onto Jacks robes but Boku became paler and paler from his blows.
"One more should take you out! As he was about to punch one last time, a white ball flew on him and exploded into white powder on Jack's face.
"cough , cough" The powder surprised Jack causing him to loosen his grip which Boku kicked Jack in the face!
Taking four steps back, as he recovered from the powder, another two white balls flew, exploding into powder!
The powder blurred Jack's vision 'This...its a smoke bomb?it smells weird!?' He thought while trying to get away from the small smoke.
Who was throwing these white balls? It was Ellen! When she ran past Jack and as he was about to grab her which Boku stopped, she continued to run! The reason she never noticed was due to her emotional turmoil and as she isn't a fighter, her sense for these things are very lacking, so she was completely oblivious to the events. The reason she came back was she turned back but didn't see Boku chasing her thus she felt even more angry at him for not caring! So she walked back slowly as she was out of breath but then saw Boku being punched numerous times by the person she bumped into!
Seeing such a scene, she brought out the white balls she carries with her at all times as her mother instructed since there are dangerous people lurking everywhere in the world. Trying to help Boku, she started to toss them at Jack!
"Boku are you ok?" She yells out anxiously.
"cough ,cough,cough...yea" Trying to breath, Boku finally answers.
Ellen goes to Boku, helping him up and as she was going to ask what's happening, Jack interrupts.
"THAT'S IT!" He shouts out excitedly as if he got inspiration!
