Ryder's legs shaked, and he was barely standing. He screamed louder but he got no help. Bad luck for him, the black thing started to approach him and at that time, I'm sure his trousers were wet. A sword came out of nowhere and went straight for his neck, his eyes opened wider in surprise and fear at the same time but he woke up during the scary scenario.
'ha-ha-ha.' Ryder woke up panting a lot, his heart racing as if he was being chased around. Can't say for the trousers, because his blankets were wet. 'It was just a dream, phew.' he said, smiling, he cheered to himself, cause all the of the scary scenario was all a dream, actually he forgot about his blankets at that time, the only important thing that he wanted was his life and he was all happy that it was still around.
' I was now believing Mr Haruto's story, about the ghost guy. THANK God I'm alive, now I have to go to the washroom, what a pain, in the middle of the night? Curse that Ghost of steel dream, now I'll have to spend an hour without sleeping, secondly, my blankets are wet, thank goodness I'm not married, if I had a wife, she was going to laugh at me.' He went to the washroom and he also changed his blankets in order to happily sleep.
In the morning, Haruto executed Ryder's plan to search for Akirion in the house of the GHOST OF STEEL. They took the prisoner, and they got many soldiers to accompany them to the house and also to prevent the prisoner from escaping.
They took their wagons , 5 wagons headed for the house, each wagon had 6 soldiers inside. They put the cart with the prisoner in the middle to watch it.
Ryder spoke to himself in his mind.
'{ Curse you Mika, now I'm going to visit that house of the scary man, that dream also increased the chances of fainting when I see his face. No, I'm a man, I can't faint, how am I going to marry a woman if I faint without being attacked.'} He completely comforted himself.
Thaneiros woke up and started training his students, he didn't actually expect a visitor, but the unexpected visitor visited him, and he said what came to his mind.
One kid notified him that there was a knock at the gate. He took his sword and attended the visitor who was knocking at the gate.
He opened the gate….
' he's opening, he's opening,' the soldiers said.
He got surprised when he saw many wagons at his door step.
' What good have I done today to receive a lot of visitors?' Thaneiros asked a simple question.
A unique, well dressed man came out from one of the wagons, surprisingly, it was Ryder.
'You did nothing '. He said.
'Who might you be? Are you the leader of this group that is getting my door steps dirty?'
Ryder looked at Thaneiros' eyes and thought of replying recklessly but he remembered the dream and also saw Thaneiros holding a sword.
'No, I mean yes, I'm the leader of the group but I'm….we are not here to get this place dirty, sorry sir, we are only here to identify the kid, only!'
'{Wow, he changed in just a blink of an eye, when I was looking at his eyes, I thought maybe he was an arrogant, and violent man, but , his eyes changed from arrogant to.... I don't know.} What kid are you talking about?' He asked as if he knew nothing.
'Ahh, we think that there's a kid who can be hiding behind your students. And I guess you have seen one of our wagons, it came here, I guess the day before yesterday if I'm not wrong. You told them to know who they are searching for first, in order to identify the kid.'
'No, I didn't say that, I only said that they should know what they are searching for not for them to come back to disturb my teaching session. Now I'll kill every single one of...'
'No no sir, we are going, sorry for disturbing you, but we really need to see whether that kid is there or not.'
'What is that kid like?'
'Ahh, he's said to be around his 10 and he's an orphan....'
'Hold it right there, I don't have orphans in here, who's going to pay for their training session. I only train people who pay me , and mostly, the parents are the ones who pays here, so, there's nothing for you, now, beat it.'
'Sir, we need to...'
'I said beat it.'
'Okay, but it's agent to find the kid…'
'Searching for a ten year old, with 30 soldiers, are you for real, only one man can do such a job.'
'Sorry sir, Thank you for your time.'
They all left with their tales between their legs. They went back empty handed.
Thaneiros went back and continued his class.
'So, what happened?' Haruto asked
'The guy said that he doesn't teach an orphan because orphans won't have money to pay him and he also said that mostly, parents of the kids right there are the ones who pays not kids alone.'
'I see, so did you get in?'
'No, we didn't, he came to the gate with a sword, he didn't allow us to sat our eyes on the students either.'
'I see, which means he was hiding something. We tried the easy way, now we will try the hard way, because the easy way was too soft for him, so the hard way will be good.'
'What are you planning to do sir.' Mika curiously asked after hearing such uncomfy words from Haruto.
'I did nothing yet, so what I'm saying it's just a scripture, it will need to be acted and executed, so I'm planning the scripture, don't disturb me, we are finished, you are dismissed, excuse me.'
'Okay.' Both Mika and Ryder left the room.
'Ghost of steel my foot, hiding my ultimate weapon behind your private walls huh, you are doomed, I'm coming for you.'
'No sir, you can't do that!' Mika said.
'Do what? What are you still doing here? Get out of here!'
