Swordsman Glynn

[Story Teller]

Finally arriving to the bridge entrance with my body all drenched in sweat and lungs out of breathe. I saw a bunch of swordsmen carrying big bags.

I did not have a good reputation to the swordsman guild of Izlude so I concealed myself within the crowd while covering my face with my right arm to prevent anyone potentially recognizing me.

Finally seeing Indy at further away I made my way to her still hiding my face from the other swordsmen.

"HEY YOU!"

I stopped on impulse as I knew who it was that called to me.

"AREN'T YOU GLYNN!?"

His shout was supposedly put more attention towards me as more of the crowd adn swordsmen started to stare at me. Many who I knew hated me.

"ANSWER GLYNN, WHY ARE YOU HERE IN THIS 'SPECIAL' OCCASION?"

I lowered my hand that concealed my face from the public as I surrender to the stares. This obnoxious guy is known in the swordsmen as one of the strongest as he was buffed and tall compared to many of the others. But the most recognizable feature was his arrogant talk to me.

"EVERYBODY LOOK! GLYNN THE NOVICE IS HERE!"

"Shut up, Herman"

I couldn't keep myself calm as I also started to talk back.

Herman Tyrus, a swordsman that is far stronger than the rest when it comes to strength. Although I wouldn't say his brain is the same as his brawns.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU STUPID NOVICE!?"

With Herman being easily angered he came closer to me as he showed his muscles to intimidate me.

"I SAID... WHAT... DID... YOU... SAY... YOU STUPID F**K?"

"I don't know maybe ask me when you have a brain in your head?"

With my words hurting him with his immaturity and the people around snickering. Herman lost his calmness and start to pull his hand away to punch me.

*thwoomp*

I easily dodged it

"STOP MOVING!"

*thwoomp*

Herman might be the strongest but in terms of speed and luck he wasn't the best.

As Herman continued to punch air, the crowd started to gather more around us.

"Hey look, isn't that novice owning that swordsman?"

But as we continued on our exhibition, I heard Indy talk within the crowd as I recall the reason why I came here in the first place.

"Glynn stop this!"

I turn my head to see if she was there but ignorance came with a price as Herman punched me directly on my face as I flew towards a numebr of crates breaking them.

"Glynn!" shouted Indy as I saw a faint image of the aftershock to the punch.

"GAHAHAHA! I GUESS THAT'S HOW NOVICES SHOULD ACT LIKE. DEAD THAT IS!"

"Herman, stop it already. We are preparing to fight orcs not our own kind."

I wanted to refuse the statement of what Indy said as I stood up again but with my hands equipped with novice dagger, I prepared my battle stance as I became more serious.

"Is that all Herman? If this is what the strongest swordsman in Izlude is, then they are nothing to the orcs!"

I wanted to agitate the swordsmen as to prove that if they can't beat a measly novice, they would not be worthy to fight orcs. If I can win, I might be able to stop them by lowering their morale.
