The Legend Fake

Chapter 86 - The Past Part 2

"From now on I'll be your coach. I hope you can become great and talented warriors, are you ready?!"

"Ready!" Answer everyone with passion.

"Good! Are there any questions before we start training?" Crgoshiro asked after finishing his short speech.

Some people raised their hands including Aira. "You're a bit tall, what's your question?" Crgoshiro asked pointing at the child who was in the middle.

"Is there any special training until you become what you are now?" Ask the boy.

"There are no special exercises, only exercises that we will do later. All right, now you're ahead." Crgoshiro times pointed at the child who was in front.

"When did you first sign up to be a royal soldier?"

"If that's me joining since 7 years ago and doing training for 3 years. But it was because of my age, when I was 14, so my training was extended to adjust the age criteria for duty. Well, it seems like there's no more questions, then let's go..."

"Me! I have a question!" Said Aira interrupting Crgoshiro while raising her hand.

"Oh sorry, it's hard to see you from here. So your question style?" Ask Crgoshiro.

"I heard that you often win awards from dueling matches. But, why do you still remain a royal warrior? While being a mercenary makes more money." Ask Aira.

"A good question. Actually I became a royal warrior not only thinking about money, but this is a form of my respect and loyalty to the Hyron Kingdom.

Remember everything. Don't just think about the pay, but also think about the honor of being a royal protector. With that in mind, I'm sure you'll be able to become great warriors who can rival legends one day."

Those beautiful words seeped deeply into Aira's heart. Makes him feel amazed to Crgoshiro.

"That's cool, Mr. Crgoshiro is really great!" Aira said amazed in heart. "I want to be like her someday!"

"Alright, since there are no more questions we will immediately begin the training. Even if it's just a practice, but do it seriously, because everything will determine whether you deserve to be a soldier or not."

"Ready!" Answer everything with spirit.

After the opening speech, all of the teenage participants began training on the training field. There are several types of exercises that are done, namely physical strength training, agility, and combat.

Everything was done until dusk, all the members sat exhaustedly scattered in the field. Crgoshiro then re-assembled everything to do the closing.

"You've all worked hard, I'm sure you'll all be great warriors. Then today's rehearsal we end up here, you can all go home."

Everyone broke up the line and went home. Zhagi who wanted to disperse was suddenly pulled by Aira.

"Uhh, what's wrong? Let's go home." Ask Zhagi.

"Let's go with me for a minute, I want to talk to Mr. Crgoshiro!" Aira replied then walked forward while pulling Zhagi.

"What do you want to talk about? Never mind, we'll be scolded." Zhagi.

"I've never seen him get angry during the practice, I'm sure Mr. Crgoshiro is a good person." Answer Aira.

They were behind Crgoshiro and Aira called out to him. "Mr Crgoshiro!"

Crgoshiro turned around and asked. "Why haven't you come home yet?"

"Actually like this, I was still a bit difficult during the battle practice earlier. So, can you train with us again? Just us." Ask Aira.

"We!? Why am I being carried around?" Asked Zhagi surprised.

"Hm... Actually it's not a problem, but isn't such training enough? It's only the first day anyway, so it doesn't matter if you can't fight." Answer Crgoshiro.

"I beg you! We want to be like you." Said Aira.

"Oh, how is it?"

"Please!" Aira said pleading.

"Well... All right, I can't resist that spirit of yours." Crgoshiro agreed.

"Yey! Thank you!" Said Aira jumping in delight.

"All right! Tomorrow morning at the exit gate, I have to remember that!" Said Aira looking serious.

"Now you go home and rest for tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow!" Said Aira walking away with Zhagi.

Zhagi and Aira then walked home together as the sun began to set.

"I can't believe we're actually going to train with Mr. Crgoshiro!" Said Aira.

"I didn't ask for it. I'm sure the practice will remain the same as it was this morning." Zhagi.

"Of course it's different! Just the two of us, I'm sure Lord Crgoshiro will give you the secret of his greatness! I can't wait anymore!" Said Aira.

"Why did you suddenly become so obsessed? It's not that we just met Mr. Crgoshiro, how can you just trust him right away?" Ask Zhagi.

"I don't know, all of a sudden I was amazed, and I had to make my father proud. At first I thought about becoming a successful and wealthy man, but I also thought about how my father died on the battlefield to protect Hyron Kingdom. That's what made me want to continue my father's fight." Aira.

"Just like Aira, my father was also a soldier, but did not die in battle. Although safe, he was not long and finally died 2 weeks later. Because of that, my father did not get the respect of other soldiers who died on the battlefield. Maybe right now I'm the only one who still remembers Father's death." Zhagi said inwardly.

After a few minutes they separated into their homes. They both have the same feeling when they enter the house, namely emptiness and loneliness. For a few minutes they just fell silent behind the door, imagining a memory of the past where the dining table in front of them was filled to the brim by all the family members.

However, they could not continue to imagine that. Time will pass and it will not come back.

"uh? What the hell am I doing? I have to rest for tomorrow, there's no point thinking about all that." Said Aira walking towards her room while rubbing a little tear on her cheek.

...*****...

"Uggh...? Emm... Hoam...!" Aira woke up right after hearing the sound of chickens crowing.

"Oh yes! Now it's time, I need to get ready quickly!" Said Aira immediately getting out of her bed. After putting on the equipment, he immediately went to Zhagi's house.

"Zhagi! Let's get going!" Call Aira from the outside.

The door opened and Zhagi immediately appeared. "Shhh....! Don't be noisy, everyone's sleeping." Zhagi.

"Sorry, let's go..." Aira said slowly.

"Isn't it too soon? Now the sky still looks pitch black, no sign of sunrise."

"It's okay, the sooner the better."

"It's up to you."

They then walked to the meeting place with Crgoshiro. When I got to the grassland I mean, there was no one there yet. They sat leaning against a tree, until a few minutes Crgoshiro finally got there.

"Well, you guys came so fast. Has it been a while?" Crgoshiro asked walking closer to them.

"We've only been here a while, haven't we Aira?" Zhagi asked Aira, but there was no answer.

Zhagi turned her head and saw Aira fall asleep while leaning on her shoulder. Aira looks sweet and also slumbering, it seems like she still has not got enough rest.

"Hey, why are you sleeping?" Said Zhagi trying to wake Aira up.

"Of course, don't wake up. Looks like he's so tired, you just take him home." Crgoshiro.

Zhagi then carried Aira on her back with the help of Crgoshiro to raise her.

"I'm sorry, because Aira you have to bother like this." Zhagi.

"It's okay, there's still tomorrow. You better go home now." Crgoshiro.

Zhagi then walked home with Aira on her back. Just at sunrise with bright orange-colored sky.

Beauty comes every day, but the opportunity to see it doesn't come all the time.
