Chapter 73 - We Have A Visitor
He added because he really wanted to finish his diagrams : "Axel, please go to do something else and let me finish this, okay ?"
Axel, who had been caught eyeing his ass, had no choice but to let go of this perfect sight, and he decided to go train to calm his nerves.
It was the only thing that could help him fight the sexual frustration he felt every time he was around Kevin, he didn't know why he was so obsessed with him, that was the first time he felt this way for someone.
Before joining the Sun Sect he had made love to women and men but it was always for one night, and he had never been fully satisfied, no one had been able to catch his attention.
When he was 18 and went to the Sun Sect, he had concentrated all his energy on his training and he had realized that he enjoyed fighting with a sword far more than hanging out with someone.
Well, that was true until he saw Kevin training during the annual recruitment of the Sun Sect, he had been completely captivated by his movements and after these few days spent together he really felt like he had found his soulmate.
He decided to take Kevin's advice and try to speed up his executing movements of his sword technique.
He took a training sword and chose to train without his Stats increased by his own swords, if he wanted to progress he had to progress at the base of his technique.
Because if he trained directly with his swords and their Stats, he wouldn't know if he had made any progress.
When Tony arrived at the training ground he was once again blown away by Axel's technique which was more than perfect for him, and Kevin was still drawing.
He decided to approach Kevin first and looked at the diagrams Kevin had made, they looked like diagrams found in books on human anatomy, they were superbly well drawn.
Tony exclaimed : "Wow ! Kevin what a talent, it's breathtaking !"
Kevin looked up and decided to stop there for the moment, he scratched the back of his head embarrassed by the compliment : "It's not like that Tony. Actually, it's not the first time I've drawn them, so it's easier to do them for me now ... Have you finished estimating our finds ?"
Tony chuckled and thought that decidedly Kevin was too humble, he then said handing him a piece of paper : "Here ! These are my estimates, you were very lucky, in each of the elite knight wizards there was a small magic crystal of medium grade and in the body of the warrior wizard there was a high grade one of small size too."historical
Axel, who had finally stopped and had just joined them, quickly looked at the paper Kevin was holding in his hand and he smirked very satisfied.
Estimate :
- Skeleton bones = 32 000 gold coins
- Armors = 73 000 gold coins
- Weapons = 50 000 gold coins
- Elite knight wizards 'bodies = 30 000 gold coins
- Warrior wizard's body = 25 000 gold coins
- Magical crystal, medium grade, small size = 5 000 × 3 = 15 000 gold coins
- Magical crystal, high grade, small size = 50 000 gold coins
- 2 axes + 1 shortsword = 65 000 gold coins
Total value = 275 000 - 65 000 = 210 000 gold coins.
Kevin who had seen Axel's smile asked Tony : "Why didn't you count the sheets of paper and the colored pencils ?"
Tony laughed and said : "I don't sell that kind of items Kevin, it was personal stuff, I'm happy to offer it to you."
Tony then slapped his forehead and exclaimed : "I almost forgot, there were 3 magic bags left in the armor piles."
Tony then took out of his own magic bag 3 more bags and Axel took two of them at random and he said to him : "Keep this one for you and you have no right to refuse."
Tony could have kept them without telling them, it was probably from the dead knights in the dungeon boss room when he had scooped everything up before the dungeon closed, honestly he wouldn't have thought of that.
Kevin seemed satisfied and grateful for what he had just done so everything was for the best.
Axel had already noticed that Kevin didn't mind giving but that he was really uncomfortable if he felt indebted.
Tony agreed and thanked them warmly, seeing that he might upset them if he ever refused.
They talked together a little bit more and, after putting back their things in their magic bag and once the transaction was completed, they left Dawn city to go back to their pavilion.
As they were about to get to their home, Axel abruptly stopped and frowned, Kevin who was in his arms looked at him surprised and asked him curious as to what could possibly make him react this way : "What's the matter ? Why did you suddenly stop ?"
Axel reluctantly put Kevin back on the ground and said : "We're not alone ! We have a visitor and judging by her smell, she's been here for a while already, what a pain this girl !"
Kevin understood immediately and asked him just for confirmation : "Irina ?"
Axel nodded and Kevin thought that this girl was really shameless, in fact he had prepared to face her sooner than that, and he wondered what had been holding her back for so long.
He sighed helplessly and said to Axel : "Let's go, she's going to have to face the reality, the sooner she understands the better it will be for us."
Axel really hoped it would be that easy but given Irina's character he doubted it.
He didn't understand anything about this girl, he had already rejected her advances countless times but that didn't stop her from starting to harass him again.
He even had the impression that the more he pushed her away and the more she was determined to seduce him.
She had even gone so far as to circulate a false rumor last year that they were already engaged and that he would marry her as soon as she would have finished her apprenticeship with the Sun Sect.
Of course he had denied the rumor but the damage was done, and some continued to associate them together as if they were a real couple.
That's why he had warned Kevin about what he might hear, he didn't want there to be any misunderstanding between them.
It was time to put Irina back in her place once and for all, and well, for the consequences that might entail, he was ready to take full responsibility.
