Great escape

Suddenly Joanna's mother Elanor walked over, had made a small noble womans bow "I would also like to thank you, for saving my daughters life!" She had a small but very warm smile on her face.

Joanna was about to go over to Adrian, to start talking with him, when suddenly she hears "So Adrian, you didn't get in those training clothes for nothing, did you?" Gus said, with a provocative look and a small grin.

Suddenly, everyone felt a change in Adrian. The attitude he had before, of being a little intimidated disappeared. A massive wave of battle intent came out of him, when he heard Gus. If you looked at Adrian's face, you could see a big grin, this was the time he was waiting for.

When Gus felt this, he was very surprised for a second "That is some thick battle intent! let's fight boy!" Gus was getting very excited, Adrians battle intent, Gus' battle intent reacted strongly to this. He threw a spear to Adrian, since he heart that was the weapon Adrian used, from his daughter. Gus stood in the middle of the training ground, with a sword and shield. The other soldiers had made way for him unconsciously.

As soon as Adrian heart the words, 'let's fight' he dashed straight and Gus. He thrusted his spear at Gus' right shoulder, to cripple the arm that is holding the sword. But the second before the spear would hit Gus, the spear was blocked by the shield. Adrian moved back a bit, since his attack failed.

"Wow, the that kid is quick!" The soldiers start an uproar, they were really surprised at how quick Adrian was. They were very excited to see this.

Gus gave an excited smile to Adrian "Impressive boy, now come, Show me more!"

Adrian gave a small smile, ran closer to Gus. This time he used swing to attack Gus, again he went for the right arm. This time he was far from hitting, since Gus read the attack, and blocked it with his sword. When he blocked the spear, pushed his shield forward, slamming Adrian to the ground. He didn't attack Adrian anymore and went back to his original position.

"Adrian, you are too predictable!" Gus said "Now come again kiddo!" Gus had a look in his eyes, that told everyone he had fun.

Adrian got up, his smile had fated, and a thoughtful look could be seen instead. What could he do, to be less predictable. A few seconds later, his face lights up, like he had gotten an idea.

He looked at Gus, used dash, and ran straight into him with full speed. Gus didn't move at all, and Adrian was pushed back, and fell to the ground. Everyone found this sight to be quite fun, and they all started to laugh.

It might have been a failed attempt, but Gus saw what Adrian was trying to do. Adrian wanted to run into Gus, using his strength to push him back, but too bad for Adrian, his strength stat was too low.

"What are you thinking kid?! you are fighting against a man known for his strength and vitality! hahaha" A soldier said looking at Adrian, quite amused.

Adrian looked up from the ground to Gus, with a dumfounded look "Don't feel bad kid, I have been fighting for a long time, my strength stat is well past 50 HAHAHA!" He was having a lot of fun teasing Adrian

"let's just call this the end of today, I will find you a teacher as soon as possible! I already have someone in mind" He said, with an evil grin, that send shivers down Adrian's spine.

Joanna had been really annoyed through all of this, and just wanted to spend some time with Adrian herself. Her Elanor could also see that "Anna, didn't you see how much fun they had out there? Let men be men!" she said to her daughter.

"I-I know mother, but I was really excited to show Adrian around today!" Joanna looked at her mother with puppy eyes, like she was asking her for help.

Elanor just looked at her daughter, and gave a small chuckle.

"They are done now, aren't they?" Elanor gave Joanna a little hint.

But before Joanna could react to her mothers words, all the soldiers on the training ground started to get close to Adrian. They surrounded him, and they all tried to be friends with him.

"Hey kiddo, that was amazing, good job!"

"Kid, how old are you? you are quite a talent!"

"Kid, do you want to train?"

All the soldiers said different thing to him, but the short version is, they all saw him as a huge talent, and they all wanted to befriend him. Adrian stood in the middle of all of this, he had a wry smile, and didn't know what to do. He suddenly felt a soft hand grab him. He had definitely felt this heavenly softness before. The hand suddenly gave a huge pull, and Adrian was pulled out of this bunch of soldiers.

"Thanks Anna, I didn't really know what to do there" Adrian had a very flustered face, and could only thank Joanna. Joanna didn't pay attention though, she just kept pulling him, until they were in the mansion, away from the training grounds.

All the soldiers looked at this with dumbfounded faces. They all looked at each other.

"Did our young miss finally find someone she is interested in?"

Joanna was a beautiful lady, and she had a lot of suiters, but no one had ever caught her attention. She always had a warm smile on her face, but it was never as warm as it was, when she held Adrian's hand, while they ran into the mansion.
