4 Bodyguard

There are many types of soldiers in this fantasy world.

One of those types is City guards this type of soldier can easy to be because the requirement was only a strength if you have a strength you can do this type of work.

However, the payment isn't so high either City guards are mostly mercenary soldiers since they have the strength and yet they are also easy to find.

And Vance was one of them, he has the strength and yet he was also practicing the martial arts too!

But of course, his martial arts can't be compared to Anzen's Asura techniques.

Anzen knew that because he was the one who has tried took a raw hit without blocking that punch.

Anzen coughs as he stands up and on his guard ready for the next clash.

'His strength is real from now on I need to be more careful'

Anzen thinks as he spits out a metallic taste of blood from his mouth and uses his hand to wipe blood at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing a figure flew away by taking full of Vance's punch, Lucy's expression went dark.

Lucy knew that there might be a chance that a figure can die by that blow.

And yet Lucy has seen that figure his name was Anzen he lived alone in the slums.

She knows only a little about him and she also knew that he was a thief since this city is not so big and her family has once get stolen by him.

Anyways Lucy doesn't want him to die in front of her and yet he did that to protect her!

At that moment Anzen didn't know that his action would affect the future however he didn't have time to notice that Lucy seems to care about him and she was also shown a sign of relief when he stands up, Anzen was now ready to take the advantage of this fight.

He might lose but still, he wanted to see if Vance's techniques will give him something to improve his battle prowess. 'Come on Vance show me some weird punches or kicks so that I can copy it.

Anzen knew that he was a genius when it's come to copying people's techniques if it did not have a special requirement or too complicated to learn.

But somehow Vance seems to be surprised that the kid in front of him was able to stand up so quickly even some of the city guards took an hour to get their consciousness back before they could stand up again.

Anzen sees that Vance is still surprised that he was not faint or getting seriously injured thanks to Asura's body techniques even he was able to train it just only a night.

'Look like I have to take the training more seriously but for now, I need to focus on the fight'.

Anzen then running towards Vance who was still standing and look at him, Anzen instantly decreased the two meters distance in less than a second and jump in front of Vance.

Anzen knew that with these moves he won't be able to dodge any incoming attack but still he needed to improve his techniques by Vance moves!

Seeing that straight forwards move Vance revealed a wide smile as he shot a punch aiming for Anzen's torso which was opening without blocking!

"I thought you have something kid but look like I was overestimated you!" Vance shouted as his expression becomes bright.

A punch delivered to Anzen's torso but at he manages to react to it in time, Anzen blocks it with his two arms in a crossing position before he flew back.

Vance was surprised "How did you!" before he could finish his sentence, Anzen has already appeared beside him and high kicks him aiming for a neck.

'His body was too strong for me to create any serious injuries but that happens only when I used my punch but not with my kick!'

A kick fully landed on Vance's neck!

'It a little disappointed, I have yet copied his techniques he didn't use any special attacks at all so it's better to end the fight here while he was still confused' Anzen thought but before he could fully exhale a big hand has grabbed his right leg.

'Holy sh*the wasn't knocked out!' Vance grabbed Anzen's leg with his right hand before aggressively throw him to the ground.

"Ugh!" Ann's body clashes with the ground but before he could get up a stomp was directly shot towards him, Anzen dodges it while rolling at the ground before he quickly stands up at that moment he saw a fist appears in front of him.

'I can't dodge it, a punch was too fast!' Anzen gritted his teeth ready for the impact to clash on him.

A strengthful punch directly hit his belly as he flew away for the third time but at that moment his reflection kicked in, Anzen manage to delivered another roundhouse kick while he was flying away, a kick directly hit Vance's nose!

After rolling on the ground Anzen jumped up and turn behind before starting to run away!

In an old cottage, a figure was lying on the floor.

Anzen was recovering from a fight in the afternoon, 'Damn it I couldn't even eat my lunch! and the worst than that I use half of my saving money to buy a single medicine and a slice of bread!'

The edgy expression can be seen on Anzen's face he was now moody, 'I will get stronger and beat you until you begging for my life, Vance!'

'But it was also my mistake to start a fight with him who will know that he will be this strong, luckily I have already practiced Asura's technique otherwise I would have seriously injured or even gravely injured!'

Thinking that Anzen stopped to blames Vance he knew that it was his fault before turn aside to pick up a slice of bread before starts eating it.

After finished his poor meal Anzen then continued to train on Asura's body techniques.

A night pass by just like that, when the dawn arrived Anzen was using Asura's breathing techniques. Anzen was training harder than the first time, he doesn't want to lose again.

At that moment a knock appears on his old cottage's door.

Anzen quickly grabs a knife in his bag before stands up and on his guard.

'Don't tell me that Vance will come here to kill me, he was that mad for the fight yesterday?'

Anzen thought as a stern expression show on his face.

'If I was in my normal condition I should be able to survive and run away' but for now his condition was far away from the word normal, his old black clothes was has some part of it torn and there was also traces of bloods and dirts appears on it.

And what's worst is that his strength was not much left after yesterday fight and a night trained.

He can still feels a sore feeling from everypart of his body.

"Who are you!" Anzen shouted as he was ready for a leap towards the invader. But the reply make him feel confused.

"I am Lucy, Anzen could you please open the door?" Lucy's sound can be heard.

"What do you want Lucy!" Anzen shouted as a reply he knew that something was not right, 'maybe she was mad for yesterday that I was created a mess so I should open the door and quickly apologize to her since she was kind and wealthy she couldn't mind about it much'

Anzen thought as he walks toward the door and open it.

"Lucy listen i was so sorry about the mess yesterday so please let me go". Anzen spoke with soft tone.

"What are you saying Anzen, I just wants to ask you if you could be my bodyguard". Lucy said while showing a confused expression.

"Yeah i knew that it was my fau- What?"

"I said I want you to be my bodyguard". Lucy asked with a louder tone, while staring at the young boy who was not much taller than her.

"You want me to be your bodyguard?" Anzen asked while he was still showing a confused expression.
