The Tale Of The Worst Squad At Rodeo Academy - Chapter 107 The Rising Knigh
I slowly open my eyes as I see a bonfire in front of me.
I scratch my head and wake up.
“Damn…That was pretty bad…” I say to myself.
“That robot thing you fought, how strong was it?” A female dwarf with long ginger coloured hair and beard asks me.
“Who are you?” I ask the dwarf.
“I am the town’s abandoned genius, Kio Ramrod, nice to meet you.” The dwarf seems to be cheerful and is putting front her hand. I shake hands with her.
“What made you save me?” I ask Kio. “Well, I just thought you were an interesting guy that’s all. After all, it’s not every day I see a guy pop out from the rooftop and break into the general’s office after all.” Kio says to me.
“Let me guess…You are working for the general too?” I ask Kio.
“Nope, I used to though back when I used to make weapon for him. Now he has a new weaponsmith so he doesn’t need my support but I do my own stuff down in the basement. What can I say life hasn’t been exciting lately.” Kio sighs with her last sentence.
She has quick tongue so it’s tough to think that she might be lying about anything she says but it’s still too early to judge her has an ally. It could be a trap.
“Why were you asking about the robots?” I ask Kio.
“Oh those robotic human things, yeah, those are my creation. I call them humanoids but that old bastard said that these are too dangerous and he was telling the truth those humanoids are damn dangerous. They have the capability to wreck a city singlehandedly.” Kio says to me. Old man? Who is she talking about?
“Enough of your questions, my turn, now answer how strong that humanoid was?” Kio asks me. “He was pretty strong but it isn’t something I can’t handle.” I say. “For you to say that you must be at least a captain or a chief level knight right?” Kio asks me. “Nah, I am just a rookie knight.” I say to Kio. “What a bore…” Kio seems unsatisfied by my answer.
“Anyways you said that those are robots who you created, so you must know something about them right?” I ask Kio. “Yeah, the humans you see inside them, those are real humans. Those humans have a dead body but an operating brain. You may ask why a dead body, well, the reason is quite simple, the robot removes away all the mana and your left with nothing in the end to support your body. That’s how those humanoids are so much more stronger then we imagine and why that old bastard stopped this experiment.” Kio says to me.
She’s giving me too much information…Why is she being so friendly?
“Anyways…” I get up. “Where are you going?” Kio asks me. “To fight the general.” I say as I roll my shoulders. “You’re just a rookie knight, what are you going to do?” Kio looks at me with suspicious eyes.
“I can do a lot even if I am just a rookie, so you don’t need to worry about me and thanks for saving me.” I say to Kio. “I ain’t gonna save your ass again.” Kio says to me with a pouted face. “Not a problem.” I say with a smile.
“Hey, before you go, I got something that the old man told me to make for you.” Kio says to me. “The old man? Who is this old man?” I ask Kio. “Oh, that would be Councillor Cao Ping.” She knows Cao Ping? That’s interesting.
*Smack*
Kio thrusts a huge sword, it’s almost as big as my body and glows red from the outside which seems to be live flames and an icy area from the inside.
“What the hell is that?!” I ask Kio with a confused face. “It’s a weapon I made for you because I heard your creation magic takes a lot out of you. So this would be a perfect weapon for you. You just have to recharge it with your mana daily so that it keeps on utilising those fire and ice fragment I used to make this bad boy.” Kio says.
*Catch*
I bring out the sword from the ground. This damn sword is pretty heavy but I can carry it easily.
“And finally, the name I have chosen for the sword is…Rising Knight.” Kio smiles at me. “Why Rising Knight though?” I ask. “That is because as you grow so will the sword and it will become stronger with you.” Kio says. “Hence why, I chose the name Rising Knight for this sword.” Kio continues.
“Good luck on your quest boy and give that old man some greetings, tell him we will meet soon. I will see ya soon boy.” Kio waves her goodbyes to me. She sure is one cheerful person. Now time for me to test out this new weapon I have.
I tuck the weapon behind my back as it is sheathed and begin to move towards Riverery. “I am coming back Bob…Don’t you dare worry, everything will be fine just like I said it would be.”
