Chapter 111 - A Remedy
Kevin then decided to test him, to check if he had a good sense of observation, he asked him : "Erik, who is preparing the dinner for us, also participated in this Three Sects tournament, what did you think of his fights."
Ashton turned around in astonishment, he hadn't paid attention to who was cooking but when he saw who it was he exclaimed even more enthusiastically : "Wow, sir it's really you, I have also watched all your fights, you were spectacular."
Kevin was pleasantly surprised and Erik was even more surprised, it was the first time someone had told him that he was spectacular.
Ashton continued : "Each time you ran into opponents much stronger than you, and while everyone thought you were going to lose quickly, you kept fighting fiercely.
And it was as if, while you were fighting them you were also watching them and when you found their weak point you hit them hard, each time you did it, it was so sudden that your opponents couldn't do anything.
You managed to win a lot of fights like that, it was just too awesome !"
He added with a bright smile : "You are so cool !"
Alan who had just arrived with Liam had heard everything this boy had said about his man and he couldn't help but say : "Finally someone who is willing to appreciate the true worth of my man ... Hi, I'm Alan and this is Liam."
Ashton opened wide his mouth too bewildered to think of closing it, Alan was his idol, he was one of the few mages who also knew how to fight, and the man next to him was one of the leaders of the Sun Sect, it was he who had greeted them when they had all arrived here.
Ashton finally came to his senses and he greeted them warmthly, he suddenly felt like he shouldn't be there bothering them, after all, there were only great people around Kevin.
He finally turned to him and gave him what he wanted to give him, that was why he came here in the first place.
It was a concoction he had made himself, he had used the knowledge gathered over time by his family to create it.historical
Kevin took the bottle Ashton was handing him and when he saw that he was starting to greet everyone and getting ready to leave, he said to him hastily : "Wait ! You can stay if want, we have enough food for everyone ... And, tell me, what is this ?"
Ashton turned to him and smiled at him as he said : "Oh yeah that's right, I forgot to tell you what it was, sorry I'm a little too intimidated.
This is a remedy that I have developed myself, it will help you feel better, it will help stimulate your mind and remove the mental fatigue."
Kevin opened his eyes wide in astonishment and said spontaneously : "I thought there was no such remedy ?"
He turned to Alan, puzzled to know what he thought about it, but it was Ashton who replied : "As our teacher has told you, I come from a family of mages and this problem was a recurring problem for us.
All generations of my family have worked on this remedy, and I myself have added my personal touch to it. I hope it will be able to help you to feel better."
Ian asked him curiously : "What is inside ?"
Alan then said to him when he saw that Ashton seemed to be embarrassed : "Don't worry Ashton you don't have to answer him, he is just too curious ... I guess you don't have the right to reveal this formula."
Ashton nodded and then said : "Indeed, I'm not allowed to, I'm sorry, but I can promise you that it can only help him to feel better ..."
He turned back to Kevin and said : "I'm going now, I just wanted to know how you were doing and gave this to you, I will see you in class."
Ashton was greeting them again and he was starting to leave when Kevin suddenly said to him : "Wait for me, I will walk you to the door !"
He turned to Axel and said : "I will be right back honey."
When Kevin walked Ashton back to the door he thanked him again for the remedy and asked him : "Would you like to come and train with us, you look like you want to learn how to fight, I can teach you the basics if you want, and I can teach you how to launch your spells accurenty."
Ashton looked at him speechless and he asked him, his eyes shining with excitement : "Do you really know how to fight ?"
Kevin just nodded and said : "I can teach you how to fight and how to strengthen your body, but you have to keep crafting potions and practicing spells too."
Ashton smiled at him and he opened his hand in front of him, a Water Arrow immediately appearing above his palm, it was the same spell that their teacher had shown them, and when he checked with his observation skill it was indeed a spell level 1.
Ashton could already introduced the particles inside his spells, it was mind blowing.
Kevin was really amazed so he asked him : "Are you really only 18 ?"
Ashton laughed and said to him as he dispersed the spell : "I can also craft medium grade potions already, it's the advantage of being born into a family of mages, I started my apprenticeship very early."
Kevin exclaimed : "Wow, so cool ! Okay, when I get better and get back to class, I will tell you when to join us to train with us."
Ashton looked really delighted and Kevin then asked him : "By the way, how did you know I was living there ?"
He smiled and said : "It was Douglas who told me, I asked him if he had heard from you and he told me that if I wanted to know I should come and see by myself.
He told me that we should get along well and he gave me your pavilion number."
Kevin simply said with a smile : "I see ..."
He waved his hand and said : "See you later then, Bye Ashton !"
Ashton left and Kevin came back to the kitchen where everyone was waiting, he hadn't officially introduced himself to Liam so he walked over and held out his right hand to give him a handshake but his reaction was completely unexpected.
Liam looked at his hand ready to shake it but then he saw the burn in his palm and he said furious, turning to Axel : "Fuck Axel, what did I tell you ?"
