When Zuhn pulled out his knife, all of the other guards stiffened up. They all heard the story about the teens that were killed outside of town. They matched the two stories together, with the guards that were attacked at the gate.
"Son, You better put that away." The thirty-year-old man looked at Zuhn. He had the eyes of a wise man. He also heard the stories from the other guard. He believed that Zuhn didn't look like a simple teen.
Zuhn slashed at the first guard, the guards around him barely were able to see the slash. This made the old man look deeply at Zuhn. "Pull back men!"
The guard in front of Zuhn fell to the ground in an instant. The guard that died in front of Zuhn didn't even have time to react to the slash. Neither did the other guards around him, all they saw was the guard fall.
Scar was stunned by the speed of Zuhn's attack. Though, he thought about what happened to his old friends. They were all slaughtered in under three minutes by Zuhn.
The guards including the old man were shocked at Zuhn's skills. Everyone walked back a couple of steps.
The old man looked down the street. He was staring at a window, inside was the young master. He was watching everything unfold. When the young master saw the man staring, He nodded his head, The old man gripped his sword and walked forward.
"Listen here, If you can beat me in a fight, then I will let you go." Zuhn clutched his knife and walked forward, walking over the dead guard.
"Kid, you were just lucky, you caught him off guard." The man was looking over at the guard on the ground. The other guards retreated into a ring around the three people.
The guards started to speak quietly, chanting the man's name. "Green, Green, Green." The man smiled as he pointed his weapon at Zuhn. "Let's start." Zuhn nodded his head and took up a stance.
The old man was the first to move, he stabbed at Zuhn's chest. Zuhn quickly reacted and moved back. Zuhn remembered back when he was killing his sixth victim, the man actually tried to fight back. He had a small kitchen knife, and he was fighting just like the man in front of him.
The man would stab and back up, repeating the process. Zuhn looked closely at the man's movement and counter it. Now it was time for Zuhn to counter-attack. He slashed his small knife at the man. The man was wearing armor, so his knife just bounced off.
The man smiled and started to lightly laugh. Zuhn's slash was nothing, it couldn't even dent the armor the man was wearing. The guards around Zuhn and also the young master in the window all felt that the winner was decided.
Scar, also looked at Zuhn, he was starting to become a little worried. The old man spoke some words under his breath.
*Poof*
Zuhn felt something warm in his stomach. He looked down, he saw a hole. Zuhn couldn't believe it, he didn't see the sword come at him. Scar beside him let out an aw.
"Zuhn! He's a magic caster!" Zuhn was shocked, he never heard of a magic caster. The man put his blade down, thinking that the battle was over. Zuhn's face went from being shocked to an emotionless one.
Zuhn didn't fully understand what just happened, but he understood that he had to kill the man fast or he was going to die. He decided to go for a full on a rush at the man.
The man was caught off guard, the kid he just stabbed was bleeding out slowly. _How does this kid have the energy to rush at me?_ The man brought up his sword to block the small knife.
Zuhn stopped before he reached the man and changed directions. The man looked at where Zuhn was going. Zuhn was aiming for the behind the man. The man couldn't react in time, Zuhn made it behind the man.
Zuhn stuck his small knife in the back of the man's neck. He instantly hit the floor.
_How… How did this young teen kill me? What kind of bull..._
The man's eyes slowly closed and a pool of blood started to leak into the streets.
Down the street, the young master in the window put his hand over his mouth. Tears were running down his face. The old man that just died in the street was his uncle and the man that taught him swordsmanship.
The guards around Zuhn quickly became very scared. They all moved farther away from the teen. Scar tugged on Zuhn's shirt signaling for them both to leave. When Zuhn got close to the guards, they all made a path for the two to leave.
--------------------------------------
Zuhn and Scar both made it to a small shack in the slums of the town.
"Welcome to my house." Scar pointed to a small wooden shack on the corner of the street. Both of the boys walked in, inside was just a small chair and a table.
Zuhn walked in and almost fell over. Zuhn looked down at his chest, he had forgotten that he was injured in the fight. Scar run outside and came back with a box of medical supplies. "We only used to use this when we got hurt robbing people." Scar smiled and took out bandages and other medical supply to fix up Zuhn.
Zuhn laid on his back and grabbed a towel. He bit into the towel while Scar started to sew him up.
"Arghh!" Zuhn started to actually feel the pain in his chest. He bit into the towel with all his strength. After a while, "Alright it's done!" Scar pointed over to the small chair. "Sit there, I'm going to try and look for some food around here." Zuhn nodded slowly and painfully walked over to the chair.
Scar left the small shack, Zuhn looked around this small place. On the table was a small book. Zuhn got up and walked over to it. When he picked it up, he felt a weird sensation in it.
The sensation wasn't painful, it just felt like a small vibration. He grabbed the book and walked back to his chair. When he sat down, Scar came back to hold a small bag of food.
When he came back and saw Zuhn with the book he stopped for a second. "Zuhn, that book won't be much good to you. Only people with a certain type of talent can open the book, let only comprehend the techniques in the book." Scar put the bag of food on the table.
Scar took out two small paper bags and brought one over to Zuhn. Inside was an apple and what looked like to be water in a glass bottle. Scar smiled and sat on the ground and started to eat his. "This is what the town hall gives to people here."
Zuhn put down the bag and looked at the book again. The title read, "Cultivation and Skills" He opened the book. The table of contents had several page numbers along with different levels. When Scar saw that Zuhn could open the book, he dropped his apple in his hand and looked at Zuhn suspiciously.
