Chapter 16

"Time to rest some magic!"

I walk over to the tied up man and pick him up but the chair, holding him out in front of me. I walk out of the room to let Eve get changed but just in case I call a servant over to help. Being one of the servants are trying to kill Eve I should be safe! So I put down the tied up servant and walk over to the one that answered my call. I grab them by the throat and pull them into Eve's room, I threaten them into not harming Eve and wait. I listen into the door to make sure the servant isn't going to hurt Eve. After a few minutes nothing happens and Eve walks out of the room without any wounds.

"Eve?"

"Y-eah?"

"Do you know where the guards train here?"

"I think… in a building behind the manor."

"Thanks Eve!"

I hold her hand and drag the tied up man by his chair all the way to the manor's exit, I ignore all of the looks of horror from the servants. Once we reach the exit I walk out with Eve. The 2 guards attempt to stop me but I just kick both of them in the groin, much faster than necessary. I walk out of the manor's premis with Eve and still dragging the man. We walk around to the back of the manor and see a building that was basically a house on stairs. Each room in the barracks would get higher. There was also a large open field that a few people were training in.

"HEY LISTEN UP! I'M GOING TO BE USING THESE BARRACKS FOR A WHILE IF YOU WANNA WATCH STAY IF NOT F*CK OFF!"

All of them turn to me. There are a wide variety of reactions, laughing, pity, annoyance and one of them was even scared or more gobsmacked, not sure why though. It's like he knew me, he's probably just a coward. Anyway half of them walk over while the other half just watch. One guy steps up and walks over to me, I assume he's trying to intimidate me. But he's short, like 5'10 I'm around 6'3 I think? Well I can look straight over him, he looks up to me and smirks.

"We need to leave? I think you should go home with your daughter and stop trying to show off."

"Leave before I kick you *ss"

"Listen, this is your last chance. I would rather not beat up a father in front of their daughter, I know I would never want to be seen as weak in front of my children."

"You seem like a nice guy but leave or watch."

"Fine, how about this if you let me punch you in the face once, I will leave along with everybody here."

"Sure! But I'd rather fight. If you wanna back out that's cool."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm taking that as you being fine with a punch."

The man stands back and readys his fist. I may have said a few things that were rude but I would rather fight this out than wait! I haven't fought in days! The man punches and I lean slightly forward when he swings repositioning my head. His fist collides with my jaw, he lets out a grunt and walks back holding his hand. While I feel quite a bit of pain from my jaw but it is already numbing, I seem to be better against blunt stracts than cutting attacks.

"So you will leave now?"

"F*ck that hurts! I'm out, we will leave! Sh*t!"

He may have broken his wrist with that punch. But reply it's way too risky to punch the face, go for the neck instead. Or even better make it look like you are going to uppercut their chin and just punch them in the stomach, that ends a fight. Well we have the training grounds to ourselves, there are a few gurus who stuck by to watch. But it doesn't really matter somebody's gonna know about magic later h*ll, I used it in the arena and got questioned about it.

I pick up the tied man and bring him to the center of the training arena. I hold my hand out to him and put it on his chest. I focus internally and try to find the nodes in my and his body. And just like with a weapon they are there, there is one major node by his navel and 2 nodes that are weaker around his wrists. They are connected by dots of mini nodes. I slowly let magic into his body and fill up his center node. After it's filled I stop focusing internally and he's fine. Just sitting there, glaring at me. I take off his gag and ask him a few questions.

"Do you feel different?"

"Look. I-I-I wa-as paid-d-d to d-dooo it ple-ease let me go."

"Answer the question."

"I d-don't like hu-urtin-ng kid-ds. Please let m-me go."

"Maybe after you answer the question."

"N-nothing"

"You feel nothing?"

"Ye-ess"

"Try to feel in you body by your stomach."

"W-hy?"

"DO IT!"

"I'm-m feelin'."

"What's there?"

"It's glowy. W-what did y-you do to me?"

"Try to move it."

"It's flowin'. T-this is c-creepy please s-stop it."

"Move it through your body to your hand."

"I c-can't-t."

This is taking forever so I put my hand in his chest and try to move the magic by his navel to his hand. There is a lot more resistance moving the magic through his body than when I move it through mine. Eventually it reaches his hand and he starts sliding back without his body moving. He looks to be getting pushed away from where his hand is faced. I feel in front of his hand and I feel air, lots of forceful air pushing my hand away. I stop feeling internally and he keeps letting the air fly out.

"I-I can't-t stop-p it. H-help!"

He keeps letting air out for 10 seconds before his face goes pale. After another 10 seconds his eyes go bloodshot and he starts to sweat. He passes out 10 seconds later and the wind stops.
