Chapter Sixteen: Bol's Malice
Since Bol paid attention to Kane, Kane's daily high-intensity practice has made him feel a sense of pressure, Kane's progress is very fast, and he can vaguely feel that Kane's strength is not weaker than him. Even shaken his resolve, he began to doubt himself. In order to eliminate this unhealthy psyche.
He asked his younger brother Elovan to deliberately provoke Kane and test his truth. One sunny afternoon, after Peel had finished teaching everyone swordsmanship and announced that he would be free to practice in class, Elowen ran to Kane and offered to fight him in the ring, his loud voice quickly attracting everyone's attention.
Seeing the lively crowd gathered around them, everyone knew that Elowen was Bol's dogleg, and he came most of his way here on Bol's orders. However, everyone didn't break it, after all, they didn't want to bond with Bol, and now they were more curious about how Kane would respond.
The audience naturally hopes that Kane will happily accept Elowen's challenge, so that they can learn more about Kane, a new talent, and find his flaws in the later assessments, or see if he is really as good as everyone says, and whether his genius name is worthy of the name.
Under the expectation of everyone, Kane chose to avoid the war, "Don't fight." He succinctly rejected Elovin's challenge and stepped aside alone under the puzzled gazes of everyone.
Such an obvious temptation has long been seen through by Kane, and Elowen and Bol are too purposeful, as if to say, "You come here and play two tricks and let me see how much strength there is." "Kane wasn't stupid, and he couldn't have let them know so easily, but he really didn't have much interest in Elowen and Bor.
Even if he makes two moves with them to show them his strength, he is not afraid at all about how much threat Bol will pose to him, his strength is there, and the transcendents with the blessing of potions are not comparable to them.
Elowen failed to complete the task and was scolded by Bol when he returned. And Bol ordered him to have two tricks with Kane no matter what, to find out what was real.
In desperation, Elowen approached Kane again, and this time he kept provoking Kane with words next to him, how to die. Like a buzzing mosquito, he made Kane so loud that he couldn't calm down to practice his swordsmanship, and Kane swung his long sword in front of the sword stake, and he crouched in the corner of the wall and spat out.
"Your swordsmanship is really unsightly, no wonder you didn't dare to take my challenge yesterday, are you afraid of being beaten all over the ground to find teeth to let people know your strength of this waste, tell you, your strength is really embarrassing, I advise you not to practice, hurry back to your poor den, go back to your poor nest, go back to the fun, maybe I can reward you with two silver coins when you are pitiful."
Elowen crouched in the corner like a fool, and his mouth was not dry, he just kept spitting there. The cold wind blew up the dust and loess on the ground, and fell on his hair and clothes. Half a morning's work, he was like a filthy beggar, but he still chattered.
Kane began to feel a little sympathetic to the stupid Elovan, and he sighed and asked; "Do you want to be beaten so much?"
Erovan's triumphant appearance showed no fear at all, he got up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and said, "Who knows who will cry later!" ”
Elowen chose a long iron sword of the infantry specialty, squeezed through the crowd in front of him under the gaze of everyone, and walked to the field that everyone had left for them.
Kane still holds the bladeless sword, and the reason why he chose this sword is not that Kane is conceited and looks down on Elovan, but that he is afraid that he will not be able to control the strength in his hand in the next crushing, and accidentally cripples this stupid big man.
Bol and his other boys stood in the crowd, and Bol, surrounded by everyone, became annoyed with the silly Elowen on stage. He stood on the field, stupidly raised his sword and said cruel words, causing everyone to laugh.
Kane suddenly began to feel a little sympathy for the stupid big man who was babbling in his ear, and before Elowen could continue to speak, he moved first. A few light steps came up to Elowen and slashed at his sword. Elowen's hands were numb with the sound of metal clashing, but Kane still clenched his sword.
Without waiting for Elowen to react, Kane continued to give him a beating, and at first the two of them were fighting normally. Suddenly, the style of the battle on the stage changed abruptly, and the battle between them did not look like the battle of a serious swordsman at all. It's more like a naughty boy being taught by a parent's stick.
Kane struck Elowen in the thigh with the bladeless blade's side blade, and Elowen kept using the sword in his hand to block, but the rebound of the two swords shook his sword-wielding jaw to the bitterness. He was forced to take the sword in his other hand, and as he changed hands, another struck him in the thigh.
"Ahh A miserable cry echoed over the kendo arena, and everyone in the audience couldn't bear to look at him like a funny look.
A few of the younger brothers around Bol who were about the same strength as Elowen secretly liked that the person above them was not him. In the end, Erowen couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly called a halt, if he continued to fight, he would definitely have to lie in bed for a month and a half, and now admit defeat and go to the doctor to find a doctor, and he can recover from his injuries before the upcoming assessment.
Although Elowen is stupid, he is not stupid thoroughly, at least he knows the truth that those who know the times are handsome.
Now that Elowen has conceded defeat, Kane has little interest in beating him. Kane put down the sword in his hand and decided to rest early today and not extend his practice time.
When he went to dinner in the evening, Kane sat alone in the corner, with Winnie and Riley sitting next to him. Kane just glanced at them, ignoring the two of them. The two of them looked at each other, and finally Winnie spoke: "Kane, we want you to help us during the assessment, now everyone knows that you have a conflict with Bor, and he wants to deal with you during the assessment." Everyone won't dare team up with you for fear of his revenge, but the two of us can help you. ”
Kane asked without raising his head, "Aren't you afraid of Bol's trouble?" Besides, why do you think that if no one is with me, I will lose to him? ”
"Bol is very powerful, he is the sister-in-law of Viscount Bailly, and he has a high talent for kendo, although you are also very powerful, but you may not be able to deal with him. If you were willing to join us, he wouldn't have dealt with you so easily, at least not on the surface. ”
"Why should I trust you? If a viscount's son wants to deal with me, wouldn't he dare with the two of you? ”
Riley smirked, "Of course, his father is a viscount, and our family background is not small." My father is also a viscount, and if he dares to deal with us clearly, he will have to consider the accounts that he will have to settle later, at least he will not be in trouble. ”
"yes, yes, you think about it." Vinnie is taking advantage of the situation to persuade.
Kane didn't say yes immediately, just asked the two of them to give him another consideration.
Elowen limped through the pain to the doctor's treatment room and asked the doctor to treat him. When the garment covering the wound was cut, the bloody appearance made even the doctor sympathize with him.
Green light shone down on his wound, and the icy cold sensation dispelled the stinging sensation of the wound, and the burning heat dissipated. Elowen couldn't help but marvel at the doctor's skill.
Although his performance on stage today was very poor, at least he completed the task given to him by Boss Bol, and successfully forced Kane to fight him, and his embarrassed appearance was automatically ignored by him, and he now thinks about how Bol will praise him later.
Thinking that he had been the younger brother of Bol for so long and had accomplished such an excellent task, Elowen felt that he was the real winner, and that the most powerful kendo genius in the kendo field would come to comfort him for his injuries and praise him for his excellent performance and touching determination.
The agitated Elowen even began to forget about the wound on his leg.
The door to the doctor's treatment room was pushed open, and Bol walked in with two younger brothers dressed as nobles, their faces not as if they were covered with a layer of frost, which was colder than the frost of winter.
As he entered, Elowen smiled and waited for his approval, reminding him of the way Bol patted him on the shoulder and complimented him on a good job this time.
But Bol didn't follow the script in his mind, and the first thing he said when he walked to Elovin's bedside was to call him a fool and blame him for messing everything up, he had never seen such a shitty man.
This saddened Elovin, who had been his little brother to Bol for a long time, and who had always obeyed Bol's words, and though he was sometimes dissatisfied, he carried out his orders. Every time he hopes that he can complete the task well and be recognized by Bol,
'I've tried my best, Kane is better than me, I can't beat him, but I still played him on the pitch. You've given me the task of putting Kane and Kane in the ring, aren't you? ”
"I'm letting you test him! Give me useful information and find out his approximate strengths. But you are beaten like a lost dog from beginning to end. What's the use of you but getting beaten like an idiot! Listen, you'd better heal your wounds quickly, if you miss the later assessment, you'll be good-looking! Bol pointed to Elowen's head as if in warning.
The three of them walked out of the room without looking at him again after scolding Elovan. A wave of anger rose in Elovin's heart. Bol has always regarded him as a tool of invocation, he yearns to follow the strong and get the praise of the strong, he naively thought that the powerful Bol would recognize him, but he didn't expect that in Bol's eyes he was just a waste without it.
The anger that had been building up for so long burned in his heart, and Elowen's eyes began to become fierce, and the doctors who healed him felt the change in him.
After the wound was healed, Elowen returned to his room alone in the dim light, and he was bound to pay the price for looking down on his Bol.
