Chapter 4:
Layton woke up a few hours later to sounds of people running into his courtyard, he got up from his bed wiped away his drowsiness and with alert put a sword in his hand, with a bang the door opened to reveal an injured 14 year old girl, she had silver hair and blue eyes her breathing was hurried and her face was twisted in pain, the girl looked up to find Layton looking at her.
“please help me.”
Those were the only words she said before she passed out.
Layton looked at the girl indifferently before stepping out of the Hut, he found 12 knights surrounding his Hut they were all Armed, the one that looked like the scrunched up his brow before speaking.
“your new here right, we are the followers of young master Aaron, he wants the girl that just wandered in here, give her to us and you won’t be harmed.” as he said this he pulled out his sword and looked at Layton waiting for his answer.
Although the leader was Arrogant he knew better than to underestimate those who would soon be wizards, they always had strange tricks up their sleeves.
Like the girl he was chasing for his master, he wasn’t allowed to kill her or he and his master would be doomed since she was a candidate for wizard school but as she just came today and was only a knight as long she wasn’t dead no one would care about anything else that happened, so he had been sent to capture her for his master because the master fancied her and with his high position among the acolytes no one in the dukes house would care what he did no one could interfere between matters of acolytes except their followers.
.....
The supposed to be easy mission was not going well the girl seemed to be able to predict their movement and was lucky as hell so she was always able to avoid capture at a critical moment, although she wasnt able to avoid being poisoned by aphrodisiac but the amount was minimal and she managed to be able to get into an acolytes Hut that didn’t put on the huts protection barrier, he signaled for the knights to block the acolytes path into the house because if the acolyte rushed back in activated the barrier all their efforts would be for naught.
Layton looked at the people surrounding him and Ignored the guy presumed to be the leader words, he was in a bad mood because he was just woken up from sleep and he was always cranky whenever he woke up, the girl had fainted and Layton didn’t have a habit of taking out his anger on unconscious girls, what’s more she is an acolyte Layton had caught sight of the badge on her tattered clothing.
These knights however were different plus with the threatening attitude they had Layton had no problems venting his anger on them. Layton smirked as he looked at them, the leader seemed to know he was going to attack and was about to shout a warning for his men to defend but it was too late, Layton had arrived in front of the man like a ghost with a fist punching out the leader was sent flying into the wall of the couryard, the remaining knight just reacted and started to attack, Layton dodged a sword that was coming towards his face and kicked out smashing the knight into an opposite wall, Layton then leaped up away dodging the remaining 10 knights, he looked as they were charging at him and took a deep breath before dissapearing, he reappeared at the side of one burly knight kicking him in the back of his knee causing him to lose his balance then sending another kick to the back of his head, he then picked up the knight and threw him at the others, the fat knight Took down 2 of his teammates leaving only 7 left.
Layton didn’t wait for the rest to get their bearing before he leaped at them dodging their attacks and breaking their legs one by one.
Layton took the knights and threw them out if his courtyard before going back to pick his sword and going back into his Hut.
As he walked in his body started aching from the intese movements he had been doing while fighting earlier.
He had controlled his muscles to the max making use of all them, with rapid contractions he had been able to explode with much speed and strength that normal but it left him sore.
Layton walked up to his bed feeling tired and sleepy, he seemed to have forgotten there was a someone else in the room, when Layton was at his bed he seemed to have figured out something was wrong.
“no, no matter how hard I fought I’m not supposed to be this tired, damn I must have been poisoned when I was fighting.”
Layton tried to force himself to stay awake but he was tackled by a sliver haired figure the last thing he saw before he fainted was a blue eyed girl panting and kissing his lips.
