Mind break

I rushed out without checking that sword and i found out it was completely rusted and withered except the hilt and i was standing im front of a red bull with a human face how do i always mess up so the only possible way to survive was to run

I ran as fast as i can and i encountered some hunters so i instinctively ran towards them so that they could protect me and when they saw me they also started running we all ran towards the village and as soon as we entered the village i stumbled onto a rock and collapsed and when i looked back the bull had been sliced into two pieces laterally

when i saw who did it it was none other than Mc

well i felt some respect for him so McElroy i stood up and thanked him

"no problem my friend or i should rather say partner "

it really felt good it was the third day of the festival where i become a hero there was a competition about fighting one on one in which mc participated to become a hero.

His opponent was a fully armored knight from the easten region

His armor was shining , he also held a sword and shield in his hand also shining , on his shield was the face of a lion in gold

" You are going to be the last one i need to defeat before i become the chosen one "

He charged towards mc with to bash him with his shield. His face was hidden behind his shield. So he just stepped aside and placed his foot . And the knight tripped and fell on his face hard . The audience felt his pain even me .

He got up even more enraged as he took his stance and swung his sword but was even more embarresed as he wasn't able to land a hit. Finally he was knocked out when he was given a chop on his neck

I knew one way or another he was going to win of course he is the Main character and he did breeze all past the competition there was a technique he used which i am going to steal and use it later for myself after a.while of him breezing past he was declared as.the winner and me being wealthy by betting on him won me a ton of.money and i could atleast buy a good gear

After that i went xp hunting by first going to a blacksmith and restoring the sword atleast to a usable condition my first thought was hey i can deal rust damage with this

And i finally managed to kill : 5 rats and 2 bulls which gave me a level up as i cheked on my stats i also checked my mission
