In Another World With Escanor Powers - 70 Reasons
After everyone went around for some more time, they decided to go to eat in a famous restaurant that Lorra told them about. They then went to the north side of the city towards the restaurant.
Lorra: “Believe me, that place food is awesome. You won’t be disappointed. I even went there with Grandpa and Edvard each time we came here. You could say that it’s the best restaurant in the city”.
Dian Long: “Okay, Okay. we understand that it’s the best restaurant in this city”.
Hu Zhao: ” I hope that they have a lump of good and delicious meat. I really wanna eat good food because I’m tired of Diss food”.
Diss: “Please don’t insult me like that. It hasn’t been even a year since I started learning cooking. Only when young master Aiden cane that he made me learn it”.
Alex: “What a drag. Seems like you have a shitty life!”.
Diss started crying as he nodded and answered Alex, “Yes!! You can’t imagine that”.
After some time, they finally reached the restaurant and are standing in front of the entrance right now. When Aiden looked at the front of the restaurant, he couldn’t think but that the owner has a weird taste of color.
The restaurant front was painted with green and black. It also has a little blue color on the sides of the restaurant doors. Aiden then looked at the sign which was also weird.
The sign has an eastern dragon coiling around a cooking pan like a great beast protecting its greatest treasure. Hu Zhao who saw that started laughing as he pointed at the sign and said to Dian Long, “Buhahahaha. Dian Long, is that your cousin or what? I didn’t know that the dragon’s greatest treasure is a cooking pan Hahaha”.
Dian Long: “Hey, you big cat. Maybe we should give you to the cook so he can make delicious food for us. I’m sure that they will like to have a tiger soup”.
“Yeah. Then we should tell your cousin to show us the way since he works here and protects the cooking pan here”.
“Huh. then we might find also your family inside being cooked here”.
Everyone laughed at both Dian Long and Hu Zhao who continued to insult each other. Aiden, on the other hand, sensed something and looked above at the window on the 3rd floor of the restaurant.
He then noticed a very handsome old man looking at them with his deep yellow eyes while smiling. The old man just waved his hand a little while smiling and seemed very friendly.
Aiden didn’t understand what is happening until he then noticed that the old man wasn’t waving at him but at someone behind. Aiden raised his eyebrow and looked behind him.
He found that Alex who also looked at the old man felt a little distressed and even his face showed some disgust as he looked at him. Aiden didn’t understand what is happening between them until he saw Alex suddenly escape.
Aiden: ‘hmm?? Why is he escaping?’.
*Woosh Woosh*
Aiden looked at Alex who disappeared and accelerated towards the sky trying to fly away. He then turned back to see if the old man was behind when he heard an aged and deep voice coming from above.
“Is this how you greet your master? what an ungrateful boy!”.
*Swoosh* *Peng*
Alex who didn’t even see what is happening felt a powerful gust of wind as a leg suddenly appeared in front of him and directly hit him in the face.
Alex couldn’t do anything against this powerful and fast attack. He immediately flew at a fast speed and hit the ground causing it to crack a little. After such a powerful attack, Aiden and the others went immediately to help Alex.
That’s when they heard Alex’s voice coming from the ground while groaning at the old man, “You almost killed me, you bastard geezer. Do you wanna really wanna kill me your beloved disciple?!!”.
Alex who didn’t seem injured at all raised from the ground and jumped towards Aiden and the others. The old man, on the other hand, kept standing in the air while looking at Alex and others.
*Swoosh*
Suddenly, the old man sensed and took the golden sword that was attached to his waist and swung behind him without any hesitation.
*Shing*
Hu Zhao who appeared behind the old man unsheathed his sword and tried to attack the old man from behind but the old man was even faster and able to counter his sword attack.
Hu Zhao: “You’re a strong old man”.
“Its been a very long time since someone tried to attack me like this. You have balls, tiger”.
Alex who saw that felt a little annoyed and said, “Cheh, he was able to dodge it. I thought that I will finally see him lose face”.
Aiden and the others looked at Hu Zhao and The old man as they continued to exchange sword attacks but each time, their attacks are deflected by the other one and they didn’t get injured at all.
*Boom* *Boom*
In fact, the situation started to get worse as the shockwaves that came from their attacks started affecting the area and even some houses started getting destroyed by the pressure.
Hu Zhao who didn’t expect that the old man is this strong didn’t know what to do and thought to himself, ‘I must end this or there will be some casualties’.
Just when Hu Zhao was about to use his sword intent, Alex started yelling at him while saying, “You can stop this Mister Hu. He’s not an enemy and he won’t hurt us”.
When Hu Zhao heard that, he didn’t continue and stopped just before using any more power. The old man also stopped and didn’t seem to want to continue the battle.
*Crack* *Crack*
Some of the houses in the vicinity got destroyed and even the people who were near got a little injured but because those two didn’t get serious, nothing big happened.
Aiden who saw the old man go down stared at him for a few seconds and then looked at Alex and asked him, “So who is this old man? why is he after you?”.
Alex looked at the old man and then sighed and told everyone, “This person is my deadbeat Master, the legendary golden wind swordsman and also the Arch-Duke of Kederawen kingdom, Vito Pushkin”.
“….The golden wind swordsman!!!”
Everyone except Aiden felt shocked and looked at the old man in front of them. This man is none other than the greatest swordsman in the whole Kederawen kingdom. His fame is even more than Ceaser.
He’s also from the same generation as Ceaser and is 4000 years old this year. The two of them are considered as the two oldest nobles remaining from the previous generation.
“God is punishing me for my younger days by giving me such an ungrateful disciple. I always felt worried about you and wanted to reunite with you but the moment we see each other, the first thing you do is escape and refuse to see your old master. you even made your friend come after me”.
Everyone who looked at the old man standing in front of them crying and acting like a bullied girl couldn’t believe their eyes. The greatest swordsman in the kingdom and one of the top in the whole continent is acting as a weak as a shivering geezer.
Aiden: ‘It’s the same with him and Ceaser. Is it just me or is every powerful old man is weird and doesn’t act his age’.
The others also thought the same. Of all the people they meet, the image they have in their mind is always completely different from reality. Alex sighed as he also knew what they were thinking about.
When He met his master years ago, he was also shocked to discover that the image of the great undefeated swordsman with the great skills and reputation of gold is nothing but an old man who goes playing around.
“I heard from Ceaser that you’re coming back so I decided to meet you here. I thought that you would be happy seeing me but you escaped immediately”.
Alex who heard the tone of sadness from his master got even angrier as he started remembering about the past and finally couldn’t take it anymore as he yelled, “Old man! Are you crazy or what??!! Don’t think that I don’t know about how you made a deal with the Snake Saint back then”.
The old man suddenly turned serious as he heard Alex’s words. Everyone got a little interested in Alex’s story including Aiden cause he knew about his past a little. Alex then continued pointing at Vito.
Alex: “Yes!! It was you in the first place who pushed me to enter the Dark Saint inheritance tomb and even waited with the other Saints outside. after you got what you wanted. You made the deal with the Snake Saint and exchanged me for some kind of potion”.
*Gasp*
Everyone became completely shocked as they looked at Vito’s expressionless face and didn’t say a word after hearing all of that. Aiden felt a little discomfort when he heard Alex talking about it.
The old man seemed to have used Alex so that he can get something and then didn’t care whether he lived or died. Alex didn’t stop and continued speaking.
“In fact, you didn’t even do a thing after you heard that I seemingly died in the snow region mountains. You didn’t even do me a funeral”.
After finishing his words, Vito continued to look at the angry Alex and then started laughing and then said with a straight face and without any shame, “Of course I did that. In fact, Since I took you in when you were 6 years old, I wanted you always to get stronger”.
“…”
“You remember when you were 9 years old and I throw you in the Kanay forest so that you can survive the magic beasts or when I took you to the southern islands at the age of 12 and left you there and you came back alone all the way to the kingdom”.
“…..”
Vito: “Even that time when you reached the age of 15 and I left you in the middle of the mountain to fight the bandits and you survived. All of those experiences that you had were so that you can get stronger and surpass me”.
“…..”
No one couldn’t believe the logic behind the words of the old man. No sane person would send a kid to do all these kind of things. Only crazy people who don’t care about their disciple life will do such a thing.
Alex became even angrier as he heard Vito’s words. He couldn’t say anything at him because not only was he stronger than and so he couldn’t hurt him but also he was right. All those things honed his skills and made him one of the best warriors and made him reach this level at the young age of 39.
AN: [In terms of Sarna world, 39 years old is still young compared to those old fogies at the top of the chain food].
Aiden: “So the reason for sending him against a Saint is also to train him”.
“…”
Everyone looked at Aiden and then turned back at Vito waiting for an answer. It’s at that moment that the shocking answer came to them as Vito said with a joking tone, “Ah that? Well, there are many reasons for that but training isn’t one of them. You see, I wanted to punish him because he didn’t get me the potion so I made a deal with the Snake Saint so that I can get the potion. Of course, I told him not to kill you so it was you who got the cold feet and escaped hahahahahahaha”.
“…”
Everyone jaws dropped as they heard his stupid answer and he was even laughing. Alex got angry even more and was about to jump on him but was stopped by Hu Zhao.
“Hahahahaha. Let’s go to the restaurant now. I’m starving”
