East Meet West

104- The Guest Room 1

“Number 251 loses and Number 262 wins.”

Instructor shouted.

As soon as the instructor’s voice fell, a heated discussion started among spectators.

“What? How can he lose?”

“I don’t understand why he got distracted while in the middle of a fight?”

“Yeah, once while I was practicing, my mom told me that getting distracted in a fight could be dangerous and one must remain focus while fighting.”

“But he was giving Amy so many tips and pointers, but he himself made such a big blunder. Is he a fake expert?”

“YOUR BREAST IS FAKE. DON’T TALK NONSENSE. IF YOU TALK RUBBISH THIS LADY WILL FIGHT WITH YOU.”

“Yeah, everyone makes mistakes. And it's not like that this match was his last match.”

“Exactly, there are still many matches that everyone will be fighting. And in the next battle, we will know if he is an expert or fake.”

“Hey, should I go and console him? Maybe I can gain something by using the ‘Sympathy’ trick?”

“Hehehe...are you sure that you have the courage to talk to him in front of Miss. Emily and Miss Emma. Just look over there, Miss. Emily is already moving towards the stage, which means that she will be the first person to greet him. Do you dare to console him in front of Miss. Emily.”

“Huh!? Hehe... maybe next time, I am already tired from my fight and need to engrave all the fight experience that I gained. Go, don’t disturb me.”

Realizing that I lost such an easy match and listening to all the talks from the spectators, I can only smile wryly.

I shook my head, then turned around and walked off from the stage.

“Wait”

I stopped walking as I heard someone call me.

I turned around and found that it was Amy who was running [slithering] towards me.

She stopped 1 meter away from me and was breathing heavily.

‘She must have exhausted herself in the fight huh?’

I thought inwardly.

How can I be rude to a beauty? So, I asked her with a smile.

“Yes? What is it?”

Hearing this she took a deep breath and spoke

“Thank you for your guidance during the fight.”

“Oh! It's ok, I wanted to have a good match, that’s why I gave you some tips. And you are very talented as I felt that you were improving quickly.”

Hearing this, Amy laughed dryly and said,

“Could you tell me your name?”

I told her my name and then she spoke once again,

“If you don’t mind, could you please teach me more about fighting in the future?”

When I heard this, I was stuck in a dilemma.

One side of me started regretting that I helped her and gave her pointers. And now this has become troublesome, she is asking me to train her? This is so tiring.

Another part of me wants to agree to her request because then I will get a training partner, who will be able to help me with leveling up the Swordsmanship job, and with this, I can also get closer to Amy. Then harem member +1.

(But am I being too greedy for getting so many Lamia women in my harem?)

(Who cares? There is always space for women in my harem.)

.

[Yeah, an empty harem- Author's sarcasm]

.

So, I told her,

“Sure, let’s meet every day on the training grounds. Is that, ok?”

“Of course, no problem.”

“So, from tomorrow after the mock battle, we shall practice together, is that ok?”

“Of course.”

Amy replied with a happy smile.

Then I bid Amy goodbye and started walking towards Emily and Julie.

“HMPH. Loser”

But as soon as I got closer to the gang (Emily, Julie, and Emma), I heard Emma’s taunt.

‘I swear that I will beat her ass red one day’.

I made an oath at that moment.

“Brother-in-law it's ok, don’t feel bad for losing. I am sure that in the next match you will be victorious.”

Emily tried to encourage me, but honestly, I was not feeling down because of the loss. The reason I joined the fight has been accomplished and compared to it winning a measly fight is nothing for me.

So, I can only patiently explain that losing the match did not affect me. So, after chatting for 2-3 minutes with Emily and Julie, while Emma was left on the sidelines. The instructor shouted,

“Number 253 and Number 254, get on the stage.”

It was Julie’s turn, so after I quickly reminded her few things, she moved towards the stage.

She and her opponent both fought with bare hands. Maybe they specialized in hand to hand combat or martial arts.

In the beginning, they made noob mistakes but as the fight progressed, they started adapting and made fewer mistakes.

Their fight was good and Julie’s opponent was equally strong. Hence, the battle got stretched for 10 minutes. And the fight ended with Julie barely winning the match.

Julie came to us and she was extremely exhausted. And as Emma and Emily are both in the transformation stage, they will not be participating in the match. And pretty much all the matches are completed, so staying here is of no use.

So, we decided to go back to our homes and have some rest. We bid goodbye to Julie and told her that we will be meeting tomorrow.

Then we three walked back to Sheela’s home.

I was allotted a room in Sheela’s bungalow. And Emily, Emma, and Armelia also lived in that Bungalow.

In human settlements, most of the children are allotted separate houses, just like how I had a separate house within the Leon clan. And they do not live with their parents, but of course, the condition for that is having a wealthy family with lots of lands. But here Armelia and the twins (Emily and Emma) live with their mother. Maybe they have their own bonding or conditions, which maintains or builds love between each other.

After walking for 15-20 minutes, we reached the bungalow and I bid goodbye to Emily.

“Hmph”

Looks like Emma is holding grudges for ignoring her the whole time. Well, it's not like I care.

I started walking towards my room.
