Chapter 35 Taste Your Own Medicine
Uncle Alto looks annoyed by their behavior and tries to shut them down, but it seems that the person that looks like a leader didn't like it and slam our table again.
"What? are you trying to mess with us old man?"
This spikey haired leader guy is trying to threaten uncle Alto, uncle does seem a bit afraid looking by the way he looks at the person and then looks away, I can see his sweat coming a bit on his forehead and the spiky-haired guy just keep yelling at uncle Alto.
"Umm.. can you please leave? you're bothering uncle Alto"
I decided to ask the leader guy to leave, I don't want to see him bother uncle Alto more, he's really annoying and it's just him that acted like that, the other party members he had didn't even say a single word since they come to the store.
"You brat, you have quite guts there eh"
He pulled my shirts and stare to me, I tried to pull off his arm from me but then he throws me away to the wall behind him.
"Ugh.."
"Erwin…"
"Hey… careful, that kid is strong you know?"
"This kid is strong? don't screw with me old man"
It sounds like the store owner actually thought that I'm a strong kid, he just keeps his calmness and continues to smoke his cigarettes.
Damn…my back, it hurts, this person didn't even hold back to a little kid like me, just what a bastard he is, I then get up and look sharply at the spiky-haired guy in the eye.
"What is it, kid? you angry?"
[ Ice Magic, Ice Staff ]
I pulled magic in front of him and his party looks shocked when they saw me cast it.
"What? you dare to challenge me?"
The spiky-haired guy pulled out his sword from his back and point it out to me.
"Let's go out then, see how your guts will win against me"
Then he and his party walked out of the store and I walk behind them, uncle Alto tries to stop me but the store owner stops him and tells him to just watch.
"You all just watch"
He orders his party member to back off and let him 1 on 1 against me, he just keeps laughing at me, maybe he looks down on me or something because I'm just an 8 years old kid.
"I will spare your life if you give us all your belongings, Hey old man, don't you care about this child's life?"
I look behind me and I see the store owner and uncle Alto standing, uncle looks worried and can't even hide his worried expression, on the other hand, the store owner just watching us and holds uncle Alto's shoulder while still smoking.
"So, if I can defeat you, you will leave?"
"Hahaha…. So you think you can beat me, kid? fine, try then"
He let his guard open, he's too busy to look down on me and leave his defense completely open, I turn around and quickly swing my staff to hit his right side to the waist, as I thought, he's not ready for it, he didn't even hold his sword correctly and just keep looking down on me until I hit him and send him to fly with it.
"You little brat.."
He lurches and hit some empty barrel, I'm pretty sure that hurts so much if I got hit by it myself.
He stands up while wiping the blood that comes out from his mouth and spit it out, quickly, he takes a position to attack me, he keeps his sharp eyes looking at me to try to attack me, I don't know how he's gonna attack me, I want to know his fighting style.
[ Senses strengthening ]
I can't tell what's his fighting style is, so I decided to strengthen my senses to have a better reflect on his attack.
"Oraaa…"
The spiky-haired guy swings his sword from above his head, he's just trying to be offensive but I can clearly see his attack.
I step back a bit and raise my staff, I block his attack with the tip side of the staff and then let him break the top of my staff.
I quickly step aside a bit then raise the staff's broken side to his neck, I'm trying to hold back and just touch the skin to make the blood comes out a bit.
"It's sharp you know it yourself, can you just leave now?"
"DON'T SCREW WITH ME.."
The spiky-haired guy raises his sword again and tries to fend, my staff, then he raises his sword towards me.
[ Ice Magic, Ice Spear ]
I parry his attack by the spearhead and send his sword flying, I swing the spear and hit the spikey-haired guy's leg with the blunt side and pin him down.
I keep his head down and stick my spear to the ground.
"Please just leave, don't bother people like that"
"SHUT UP!!!"
"Leader, let's just leave"
One guy from the party looks scared to talk to this spiky-haired guy, I let go of him and step back to uncle Alto.
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!"
The spiky-haired guy with 2 of his accompanies leaves the village after that.
"And may I know your name?"
I notice there was one person using a cloak and bringing a staff so I decided to approach him/her, I can't look at who's is inside because of the cloak cover this person's face too.
"Uh.. umm.."
