Chapter 119: The Gift

Luke looked at the clothes on the trunk and next to them was a letter. Luke opened it with a lump in his throat because he didn't know enough about phonemes yet to read something by himself.

To his delight, on the letter, there was not a text, but a drawing. It was a hand-made illustration of a heart, and inside it was a woman with long ears and hair. Luke smiled and lovingly put the drawing away in the <Normal Inventory>, to make sure he wouldn't lose it. 

'So, you mean this here is a gift from Ayumi...' Luke thought as he held up the new outfit to get a better look. When he felt what the garment was made of, he was dumbfounded. 'I don't even think I deserve all this...' 

He quickly began to get dressed in the thing. After getting dressed, Luke opened the closet that was inside his room, and on the closet door was a mirror. The half-wolf looked at you and almost couldn't believe it was himself. The gift was a set of clothes, armor, and belts that Luke could not even imagine the price. 

The jacket he was wearing was gray and thick enough to protect him, but not too thick to make him overheat. There were red stripes on it, and some of it fell behind his left leg as if Ayumi knew that he used to keep throwing knives in that same area.

On the jacket were shoulder pads made of sturdy metal, the shape of which resembled the head of a gargoyle. In addition, there was a belt that connected the shoulder pads. This restricted his movements, yet he continued to wear the shoulder pads.

In the ensemble, there were also bracelets. Ordinary bracelets are usually made of leather and carry some belts, but these literally looked like small shields to protect his forearms. Their material was brown and didn't look like metal, but it was still hard as a rock.

"I think I'll finally be able to use my arms to protect myself." Luke said, smoothing the object.

Having armor that protects some parts of your body is almost like a blessing because then you are less worried about getting hit and focus more on hitting your opponent. 

However, Luke knew that the reason Ayumi gave so many parts with armor was not for this reason. There are abilities so strong that they can literally turn a person into dust, and wearing strong armor serves as a guarantee that you won't die from a single hit.

In addition to the garments to protect his chest, Luke was given iron knee pads, side pouches for his waist belt, and sturdy pants ordered especially for him.

During the time he was looking at his new items, Luke heard two firm knocks on the door, then a serene voice, "Mr. Lange, are you up yet? You have to be ready in fifteen minutes." Martha said.

The half-wolf walked to his bedroom door and opened it. The maid was surprised but tried not to show it. 

"Breakfast is already on the table, but I'm afraid you'll have to eat alone. Shiro and Nathalia are warming up and Alexis and Mrs. Yamazaki left early." She said and moved out of the way of the door, so he could get out.

"Alright...how about you...have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

"Then come with me please." Luke asked, as he walked out of the room. He was used to eating with the company since he was a child.

Martha was unresponsive for a second but soon pulled herself together. "As you wish..."

At that moment, Luke Lange looked like another person in Martha's eyes. He was not wearing the everyday cloak that covered much of his face, nor even his worn and old clothes.

His fluffy ears were showing, as was his tail. The tail of the half-wolf was just over forty centimeters long and looked very soft because his hair seemed to be well cared for. His fur was black, and at the very tip of his tail, it turned a little white.

Soon Martha controlled herself and stopped staring at the man. After eating breakfast, Nathalia appeared to call him. Then they got into the carriage for the event, which was being escorted by two other large carriages. As the representatives of a renowned noble family, they had to be safe.

The road was long, and they would have to cross the city, but with four horses pulling the carriage, this trip should not take more than fifteen minutes.

The Tournament of Legends usually lasts three days, but there have been times when it has lasted even more than a week. It all depends on the types of tests that will be imposed. 

"Which event do you think will be the first? They say that the first one is always the hardest and that many people can even die during it..." Jilly said while biting her nails. The young Elf, although she always looked nervous, was never frowning, only looking tense.

Livia gave Jilly two weak slaps on the back. "Relax~ We have very talented members, and you have me. No one will be able to stop us. I'm sure one of us will be the Champion." She said, smiling confidently. 

At that moment, Nathalia was sure she made the right choice in deciding to bring the twin sisters. One of them was a realist and the other would boost the morale of the group, it was a perfect balance between doom and glory.

However, during the trip, Nathalia noticed that Luke was a little nervous. How did she know? He was eating all the truffles delivered by Martha without a pause.

She didn't blame him, after all, there was a great deal of pressure on his shoulders. The half-wolf would have to get the public's attention amidst thousands of participants and among many strong Clans, while Nathalia's goal was just to hold out until the playoffs. 

Ironically, Nathalia was happy to see the nervousness of the half-wolf, because it brought reassurance to her. 'So that means that even people with monstrous talents get like this... how nice.' She thought, relieved.

"By the way, why didn't Alexis sign up too? She's pretty strong." Jilly asked, leaning forward in her seat. 

Shiro, Nathalia, and Luke exchanged glances, and the first person to open her mouth was Shiro. "Look... as far as I know... She doesn't like to expose herself too much. Because of the horns and stuff..." He lied and fumbled a bit with his words.

Luckily, Jilly and Livia faithfully believed the big guy, and then they arrived at the Central Palace, the biggest and most beautiful building in Oukiwa.
