Chapter 17: Mentor (Part 2)

Chapter 16: Mentor (Part 2)

What should I do now? But that old man had ordered me to hit him, so I won't hesitate anymore. Just hope he tells me the way to the Kingdom of Warsaw when I won against him.

I can't cast magic so I will use my physical strength to fight that old man instead.

Then I immediately charge at that old man with a wooden sword in my right hand, that man keeps staring at me, but he didn't make any moves.

When I was about to hit him with the sword, he fastly dodged my attack and fall back few steps, he keep his face, calm, keeping his stance like usual.

I think that old man just got lucky, I immediately charge at him again, this time I swung my sword strikes faster. That man still dodging like a wind against my sword strikes even though I got him so close many times.

Then, I got angry and about to hit that old man with a very strong blow with the sword. I raise my hands holding the wooden sword up to the sky, about to swing my sword at that old man from above.

That man has no escape now! He can't even dodge my strike anymore with that narrow area he is standing. But when my sword was about to hit him, that old man squeezed his fingers and pointed at me while roaring.

"Rarrgh!"

A strong wind diverted the sword's direction, I couldn't even control it, then the sword suddenly hit a wall in the alley. That wall broke into a big hole and the wooden sword itself broke in half.

"I see! So you know how to use a sword but most of your strikes were still dependent on using too much of your muscles, you couldn't even perform any sword techniques when using it!"

"You can't even cast magic either, if someday you met an experienced swordsman, even if just a little, you would be dead for sure!" - That old man said to me his thought

"Fine! I don't need your help anymore, I will find the way to the Kingdom of Warsaw alone!"

Then I drop the wooden sword on the ground and go away. When I was stepping a few steps, that old man called me again.

"John Rigen! Why don't you beg me to teach you swordsmanship?" - That old man said to me from behind

I immediately turn around, who is this man exactly? An assassin that is still alive? I don't see him as an assassin? Who is this man exactly?

"Your fighting stance was very similar to Reimi Frieden! Did you know her?"

"She taught you the basic things of using the sword, right?" - That old man keeps asking me, did he know about Reimi?

"You know that girl?"

"Of course! I was the man who taught her swordsmanship! I'm very sorry for letting my disciple teach you using the sword!"

"My disciple sometimes goes on rampage, I hope you won't be annoyed with her personality!"

Oh! The way this man said made me remember the scene Reimi stabbed an alcoholic when that man joined the crowds to chase me. But how can this old man know about me?

"You want to know why I know about you, right? I always standing somewhere near the border gate of this town to see the passengers, I only see you today, Rigen!"

"The rumors said you wear very strange clothes, you can't also cast magic, your voice seems doesn't like ours so I sure that's you, John Rigen!"

"So what is your purpose when challenging me in a fight?"

"Do you want to learn swordsmanship? Just in one month and I will lead you the way to Kingdom of Warsaw!"

That man didn't answer my question, but one month! That man said. Just as the time I want to rent the Inn to stay in this place, maybe it is worth trying.

"Why did you want to teach me swordsmanship?"

You are reading story A Soldier Got Lost In Another World at novel35.com

"I will tell everything to you when I have done teaching you! You don't need money to learn, you just need to accept!" - That man looks at me with his straight eyes

"I accept to let you teach me swordsmanship but I don't want you to force me to consider you as my teacher!"

"Of course, you just need to call me Mentor! Follow me, I will show you the place I will teach you!" - That old man asked me to follow him

Then Mentor leads me to a place a bit far from the streets, he stops at a building. It seemed like an arena but that place seemed to be abandoned so long ago.

"Just get inside!" - Mentor opens the doors and asks me to go inside that building

Then I go inside that arena with Mentor, inside seems not bad as I thought, weapons are sticking on the racks on the right side. In the middle of the field, there is a big training ground, it is very good for training in this place.

"You live alone here, Mentor?"

"Yeah! You can say this is my house!"

"But now I don't have time to learn swordsmanship! Can I do it later? I still have more things to do!"

"Just remember to come here when the watchtower's bell rings 15 times, that means afternoon!"

"If you want to go now, remember to use the sewer here, do not use the front doors even get in or get out!" - Mentor shows me his conditions

Then I look at the sewer's cover, I hope I won't see any rats or some dirty things inside it, I open the cover and get inside the sewer.

"See you, Mentor! I will get here later in a short time!"

Then I get inside the sewer, seems like the inside is not dirty as I thought though! It seems clean, not much but still clean. I don't know where to go but there are things like crystals shining blue lights placed on the walls, they lead me to the way I want to go.

I wonder how the people in this world light on these crystals? I also suspect Mentor, why did he not tell me his real name?

Why I can't go inside or even outside the arena by the front doors? What is his exact relationship with Reimi?

While I thinking about them, the crystals on the walls stop at a metal ladder. Seems like up there leads back to the streets, I get up the ladder and then open the sewer's cover-up there.

Then I go outside, I got a little surprised when the sewer led me to the alley where I was fighting with Mentor earlier. Seems like I have to ask Reimi about this, this man calls himself Mentor seems very interesting.

Then I remember the things Princess Shera said in the letter she gave me.

Shera said every place on this continent has many big boards showing the information about the messages the people want to send to their relatives, maybe Princess's message is also there.

Then I ran around the streets to find the big boards, there are many of them on the streets.

I choose a board around them, looking around the letters that are written on the small papers on the boards.

Finally! After a few minutes of searching, I finally found Princess's message, I thought a little bit to find out the meaning of the writings.

Dear John Rigen! If you are reading this, then you must be safe on your journey to Swei Town, Jager Kingdom.

If you want to send me letters, get inside the Messenger's Guild in the North of the town, that place also gathers other guilds like Adventurer's Guild, Merchant's Guild, Hunting Assassin's Guild...

I hope you will know the road to it after I wrote you this message. My message is a priority so it will be kept here in one month, another messages on the boards will be removed in one week to replace the new ones.
