As you can see the Old man has been focusing on the physical part a little too much. I have also gained enough control of Holy fire to use in forging , which caused my products to become better. The old man has been constantly training my sword skill saying its lacking which leveled up Swordsmanship a lot, he also hit me a lot in the process which used up a load of aura which in turn increased my control. My blacksmithing has evolved, now I can make better Rare grade equipment. Combined with my Holy fire all of them are Peak Rare grade. It was currently night time, and we were going to Pyrrha's birthday.
"Ryu, pay attention to me!"
"You were talking?" I was ignoring him to have my inner monologue.
"Haaa, look Ryu there will be a shit load of important people there so try not to piss of to many people." He was right but...
"I refuse!!" I made a Jojo reference right here.
"Why must you do this to me?!?!" He looked as if he was ready to hit my head with the wrapped present he was carrying. It looked like a wrapped stick so I would say that it's a spear.
"If they pick a fight with me I'll whoop their asses. But if they don't piss me off, I'll play nice." The old man looked somewhat relieved but then he remembered something.
"Every arrogant person pisses you off. I don't want you to attack half the participants!"
'Shit he saw through me!'
As we were arguing werther I should attack everyone or not ,a giant mansion came to view. The mansion looked as if it was made by a rich noble who had nothing else to spend his money on. The mansion was 50 meters wide and 70 meters long, and thats not counting the garden which was 2 times bigger. The mansion was mostly wood and was painted white with a blue roof. The mansion was beautiful.(A.N:Not very good at describing so I'll just post it.)
There were a shit ton of people walking around the garden which had a bunch of small tables with a few chairs near it. There were some light around the garden illuminating it beautifully, just enough that it gives this relaxing vibe without taking from away from vision.
"Alex, Ryu! You are just on time." a very familiar voice rang out from in front of us. There Enma was next to a beautiful women. She had medium scarlet red hair which reached just above her shoulders. She was in a red simple dress wich complemented her beautiful looks. Then there was Enma who had a classic suit on but with a red undershirt and emerald green tie which complemented his eyes.
Enma:"This is my wife Bella Nikos. Honey this is the apprentice Alex took ."
Bella:"You must be Ryu, what a handsome young man you are. Tell me has Alex been treating you well. He can be a pain sometimes so feel free to complain about him. I'll punish him." At that moment I had a shit eating grin on my face and glanced at Old man behind me who was sweating buckets. By the way I was wearing a black suit with the undershirt matching my hair color.
Ryu:"It's nice to meet Miss Nicos. Don't cut yourself short you are quite beautiful yourself and I don't have any complains about the Old man yet." a revenge that is dependent on others isn't a revenge. The old man released the breath he had been holding, but then he realized that I said yet.
Alex:'Fuck'
Bella:"Its nice to see you again Alex, be sure to take good care of little Ryu here or I'll break every bone in your body." she said that with a small smile, but her words were not smiling.
Alex:"Yes mam!" kukuku, I have found a weakness.
Bella:"Lets go Ryu, I'll introduce you to my daughter." she made a gesture for me to follow her which I did because she was scary.
Alex:"What about me?" Alex who didn't know what he was supposed to do asked her.
Bella:"What about you?" she completely destroyed him. The old man who had been refuted just stayed there as Bella took me to Pyrrha.
'Even the old man didn't deserve this.' what just happened was even too cruel for a evil god. This women had completely wrecked his manly pride.
So after a few minutes of walking I saw a red haired girl sitting on a chair looking at the short sword on her hands with a happy expression. She was around 130 cm in height, she had her long hair tied in a high ponytail. She had a small red dress which reached her knees and red shoes underneath. Every member of this family had red hair and green eyes, if I had green eyes, I would fit right in.
Pyrrha:"Mom! Look dad gave this to me! Doesn't it look cool. Hm? Who's he?" she babbled about her sword a little before noticing me following her mother.
Bella:"This is Ryu, he is the apprentice of a good friend of your father. Talk a little I have to greet some more guests. Ryu I'm sure your tired, why don't you sit next to Pyrrha." and with that Miss. Nikos left.
Ryu:"...." Ryu who didn't know how to socialise sat there in silence waiting for Pyrrha to start the conversation.
Pyrrha:"...." Pyrrha who was too embarrassed to talk after her mother left her with Ryu the way she did was waiting for Ryu to start the conversation.
After 5 minutes Ryu who understood this wasn't going to work ,decided to speak.
Ryu:"Soo, you like swords?" Ryu who wanted to hit himself for the stupid thing he said without thinking.
Pyrrha:"Yes!" Pyrrha who had gotten stressed after Ryu not uttering a sound even after so long immediately responded without thinking.
Both their faces were as red as their hair from how embarrassed they were.
Ryu:"..pfft,hahaHAHAHAH!!!!!" Ryu started to laugh.
Pyrrha was getting even more embarrassed after Ryu's sudden outburst was too confused to ask why he was laughing. After a few moments Pyrrha calmed down enough to ask him.
Pyrrha:"Why are you laughing?"
Ryu:"Its funny how we both made a fool of ourselves."
Ryu's outburst had lightened the air and they soon started to talk about how they trained, what they did in their free time and other thing.
Pyrrha:"You do nothing other than forging and training all day!!"
Ryu a little embarrassed:"What? I like forging. I also want to get stronger for the future."
Pyrrha:"But how can doing the same thing all day every day not bore you?"
Ryu:"Are you implying that forging is boring!! How dare you!!" Ryu was of course just messing with the girl acted like he was offended, but Pyrrha didn't know that.
Pyrrha:No of course not. It's just that ah ,ahh." Pyrrha was panicking while Ryu was enjoying messing with her. A voice interrupted Ryu's teasing.
Alex:"That's enough Ryu, stop teasing the poor girl." Ryu noticed that the old man had just came with Pyrrha's parents a little behind him. A very noticeable thing was the huge smile Miss. Nikos had with Enma looking angry for some reason.
Alex:"Even though you seem to be enjoying your time here it's getting late so we have to go back." both Pyrrha and Ryu had been displeased at this as they had been enjoying each others company. Bella who noticed this presented her idea.
Bella:"Alex, why don't you take Ryu to visit here again soon." to most this seemed like an idea but Alex knew, this was a command.
Alex:"Yes mam."
So with that the children had no further complains at being separated. Soon after that Ryu and Alex left the Mikos mansion, of course Alex didn't miss this chance to tease Ryu.
Alex:"I'm surprised that you were as happy with Pyrrha as you were with your forge which is basically your wife at this point."
Ryu blushing: "SHUT UP!! SHOULDN'T YOU BE İN A COFFIN??"
Alex:"ARE YOU CALLİNG ME OLD!!"
