บท 298: Chapter 298: Waking Up

"Even I haven't seen him use a proper sword. It's really strange. But I did hear that he was one of the best swordsmen at one time. That's why I joined the Variant Uprising actually. Otherwise, I have no interest in all this," Tristan laughed.

"But it gives me the opportunity to fight strong opponents, so it isn't bad," he added. 

"You joined because you heard he was a swordsman? That's odd," Cassius commented. 

"Not really. I actually went there to challenge him since I heard that rumor about him being a Swordsman. But he refused the battle," Tristan said. "Instead, he offered me to join Variant Uprising."

"That's it?" Cassius asked, smiling wryly. 

"Not at all. Actually there was much more to it than just that. I had actually refused. Instead, I offered him a condition. He needed to fight me, and if he won, I would join his organization," Tristan said.

"I guess I can understand what happened next. You lost?" Cassius asked.
