nKevin didn't choose a stick but a spear that had a sharp blade at each of its two ends, which made it deadly dangerous, especially in the hands of an expert like him.

nHe started to use his technique and Axel was hypnotized, he watched Kevin's movements but like the last time, he couldn't understand it.

nTo learn a technique it was relatively easy, you just had to decipher the movements of that technique until you could guess which one he would use next.

nOnly, no matter how focused Axel was, he could never predict Kevin's next move, each time he thought he had understood his technique, he found that in the end not at all.

nKevin stopped after 30min and saw that Axel was looking frustrated, he laughed and came to him to explain his technique.

nAxel had learned to fight like in a military school with orderly and repetitive combat postures and sequences of movements.

nKevin, as for him, had learned to fight in the street to survive, his movements were the opposite of what Axel had been able to learn, and to be even more precise, he had created this technique to be able to fight especially against the military.

nWith unpredictable movements, he could easily break the rhythm of the fight and gain the advantage over his opponents.

nWhen Kevin explained all of this to him, he was far from being upset, he just needed to change his way of thinking and he had to completely change his fighting style.

nBut Kevin didn't agree with him, he found his fighting technique really very good and he told him that it was enough for him to add some counterattack to precisely break the rhythm of a fight if he found himself to a disadvantage.

nAnd also, he told him that he should work on his speed of execution of his movements.

nWhen Kevin saw that Axel was looking at him puzzled, he explained that he had watched him fight, and that his speed was his strongest point without a doubt.

nSo instead of wanting to change his fighting style he should harness that strength to its fullest and make the speed of his movements his most lethal weapon.

nAxel couldn't tell how he was feeling right now, he felt relieved and grateful. He was starting to stagnate and he couldn't progress anymore, but he had finally found someone who could help him to become even stronger.

nHe then said to Kevin smiling to him :

"You were right when you said that the instructors of the Sun Sect wouldn't have been able to teach you anything, you are much more knowledgeable than them, there is no doubt about it trust me.

"

nKevin smiled at him and said :

"The most important thing is never to stop improving, one technique can always be improved, and some moves can be added to be able to face all kinds of opponents.

"

nKevin added confident in his teaching skill :

"Axel, after I will teach you my fighting techniques and help you to combine them with yours, you will become untouchable.

"

nAxel's smile widened and he said :

"Let's fight then ! Show me how to break the rhythm during a fight.

"

nWhen Tony went to the training ground he watched them a bit and was surprised to see that Kevin was doing so well, no wonder he caught Axel's eye.

nHe cleared his throat to let them know he was there and they both stopped by mutual agreement, Kevin then said something that stunned Tony :

"Wow Axel, you have learnt so fast, it was much better this way.

"

nAnd Axel's reaction shocked him even more, he was watching Kevin with a dazzling smile and a look full of adoration.

nTony no longer had any doubt that Axel had fallen in love with this little fighter, so he said to Kevin as they walked over to him :

"Kevin I'm surprised, for your age you're already a skilled fighter.

"

nKevin looked puzzled by the compliment and Axel chuckled before saying to Tony :

"He's a mage Tony, and he has just entered the Sun Sect, I met him just after his test.

nBut it's true that if he was to enter as a fighter, it wouldn't have taken long for him to beat us all.

"

nTony was so surprised that he was rendered speechless … A mage … Kevin was a mage … And from what Axel had said he couldn't have been much over 18.

nHe came to his senses and asked curiously to Kevin :

"What elements do you have affinity with ?

"

nKevin looked at Axel who nodded to him to say it was okay to tell him, so Kevin said :

"My main element is the lightning one, and I also have an affinity with the ones of water and wind.

"

nTony hissed in admiration, this Kevin was obviously no ordinary person :

"Ha Axel, no wonder he has managed to catch your attention, if he is as good at crafting potions as he is to fight, you better keep an eye on him because everyone will try to seduce him.

"

nKevin didn't understand why Tony said that but Axel put his arm around his shoulders and he said :

"Fuck you Tony, he is mine.

"

nTony laughed out loud and Axel changed the subject :

"So, have you finished making your estimate ?

"

nTony nodded and handed them a paper where he had summarized it, he said :

"Take your time to look and if you are satisfied come and meet me at the counter I will pay you.

"

nHe added before leaving them alone :

"For the Nerudium, this is the price I am ready to pay you right away, but you will probably make more money if you go to auction it, by the way it's probably what I'll do if you let me buy it.

"

nTony then left and they both looked at the paper he had given them, for the bodies of all the monsters Tony was offering them the tidy sum of 117 700 gold coins, for their weapons 27 300 gold coins and he had found 2 magical crystals.

nBoth were again of medium grade, and the first was large size and was worth 20 000 gold coins, while the other was medium size and was worth 10 000 gold coins.

nHe had also estimated that the Nerudium was of medium grade and therefore worth 100 000 gold coins per kg. They had 1.7kg which added the sum of 170 000 gold coins to their booty.

nKevin asked Axel :

"Tony is really going to give us that amount, 345 000 gold coins is a lot of money, no !

"

nAxel nodded and said :

"Yes, that's a lot of money .... Let's leave the Nerudium to him, I don't want to waste any more time going to an auction house for it, let's go home babe.

"
