...The Final Task...
Rose covered her face quickly before someone else sees her then she went back to the camp
- I hope those bastards were back, I don't want to get into a fight with them.
She tried to sneak into the tent without being noticed.
- There you are kid, we were looking for you.
- What do you want from me?
- Why are you so tense we just want to play a game with you.
- I don't want to play any games, please leave me alone, or you will regret it.
- Hahaha, you are a quite funny kid, how are you going to make me regret it.
Rose sighed, she didn't want to get herself into a useless fight, but what can she do, they were looking down at her, maybe this was a chance to prove herself. She stepped forward and pulled out her sword.
" I will take advantage of the situation"
- If I win you will give me all your gems.
All of the men burst out laughing.
- Hahahahhah, yeah, yeah, sure, take what you want.
She smiled " you idiots, you underestimated me just because I'm thinner and shorter. I will show you my real skills"
Mark, the biggest among them attacked her first to finish things quickly, but she knocked him down with one hit.
It was a big shock for all of them
- How can that be possible? We can't let this kid brat us.
- Come on, let's attack him all of us together.
They were four men coming to her. She didn't back off, but rather she became more excited.
- Finally some fun, I'm starting to get bored.
She blocked all of them, then in a blink of an eye, all their swords were on the ground.
- What...What did....just...happen?
- This kid? How could he?
- That was easier than I thought. Now give me your gems.
- You brat, why would we give them to you.
She put her sword on the man's throat:
- I...I..mean...you don't need them to pass this task anyway...they will be useless to you...just go we won't bother you anymore.
- Well, that's not what we agree about earlier. Now give me your gems or I will take them on my own.
One of the men tried to run away, so, she pulled out her dagger and threw it on him, it cut his cheek and plunged it into a tree trunk in front of him.
- The next dagger will be through your heart, now give me my prize before I get angrier.
The men didn't have any choice but to give her what she asked for. All the remaining contestants were watching the fight and amazed by her skills.
"I hope no one will bother me in the future"
She turned around and went back to the tent.
- Hey kid, you were amazing. Said Roy while sitting beside her. "How did you learn those moves?
- My father taught and coached me since I was young.
- I bet your father is a great swordsman, I hope I can meet him someday.
- Yeah, he is...
- What are you going to do with all those gems?
- I'm going to give them back...
- You can have them if you want, no one will question you.
- They are not mine to have them, besides I just wanted to teach those rascals a lesson, and I think I did. They don't deserve to be knights.
- It is already the end of the day. Congratulations, kid, you passed the last task.
