Dinner

Minutes had passed and the wide platform was full of people.

At the center of the wide platform, I could see the village chief float 10 meters above the platform and look around.

With a smile, she shouted, "Dinner started!"

Yeah!!! Haha! Woo!!!

The crowd reacted with a deafening roar of enthusiasm.

Clang!!! Cling!!!

Countless mugs of wine cheered together and the dinner officially started.

Dark elves that looked like chefs were carrying huge plates containing huge roasted boars and birds, followed by a small dark elf dressed in a revealing mage outfit carrying a large pot of soup with her telekinetic magic.

They all put the food at the center and started to distribute food like caters.

"Jane, you said this is a dinner, I was looking at a banquet though."

"No this is dinner." Jane reply.

I sigh and eat some of the roasted boar that I got, if this is how their normal meals look like I won't dare to imagine how their parties look like.

While I was minding my own business eating my meat, Jane picked up a piece of meat with her hand and said, "Ah."

Jane was offering to feed me, my mouth started to twitch at how active this girl was.

I opened my mouth and ate the meat.

She shows a sweet smile, picks up another meat, and feeds it to me again.

While I was fed by Jane, many of the girls around were looking in our direction with jealous looks on their faces.

"Jane is so lucky to find that cute boy." A girl with snake-like earrings whispers to her friend.

Her friend whispers back, "Do you think we can just ask her to share, maybe she will agree?"

"Nah we can just drag the boy later and carry it to our beds later."

While the girl with snake earrings said this, a girl carrying an axe on her back punched the head of the girl with snake earrings.

The girl cried out and said, "What was that for, my head hurts."

"That is your punishment for trying a move on a boy, that young," the girl carrying an axe said.

"Oh come on, are you not listening to the news that boy is already a 19-year-old human and you saying he is just a boy, he is already an adult by human standards so it was safe OK."

"Oh really if that is the case, I will drag him later to my room," said the girl carrying an axe.

"Hey back off first come first serve and also why you are interested in a man all of a sudden." The girl with snake earrings said sharply.

"You know the reason already and besides you're not the one who will decide, it's Jane's decision who will come after her."

The two girls started to throw punches at each other creating loud sounds and small shockwaves.

The friend of the girl with snake earrings just watched her friend fight, while others in the surroundings started to cheer for their favorite one to win.

I looked at Jane and said, "Is this normal?"

"Yes," Jane replied.

I looked at her and saw that she didn't have any reaction to the words of the two, I smirked and teased her.

"Are you going to drag me to your bedroom too," I whisper to her ear in a teasing voice.

Jane's cheeks took a rosy color thinking something indecent.

She shook her head pouted and punched my stomach, I caught her punch and pulled her towards me. with smooth movement and made her sit on my lap.

Everyone who so this scene was surprised at how naturally my body moved.

Jane's face turned red like a tomato in embarrassment.

I laugh and continue to eat, on the other hand, Jane calms herself down and just tries to ignore the situation by eating.

The people around us looked towards me and Jane with raised eyebrows and started to gossip.

While I was eating and drinking along with Jane, a girl carrying a sword on her waist approached and looked at me with a blank expression.

She drew her swords and said, "I'll challenge you to a sword duel."

I was surprised by her sudden challenge, so I asked.

"What do you mean by sword duel miss, you know that I am not a swordsman."

Since I came here to this village I never showed or said that I was a swordsman, I didn't even show that I used swords when I helped Jane and never told anyone that I was a swordsman, I didn't even carry a sword with me, all my weapons are stored in my inventory.

Even though I didn't show signs that I was a swordsman, she could still guess that I was a swordsman, her instinct must be high.

I smile, "Aren't you a sharp one lady, you are the only one who noticed that I am a swordsman, so how did you know?"

The girl carrying a sword said, "Instinct."

Hahaha!," Instinct huh, if you can recognize me as a swordsman by institutions, you must be a great Swordmaster."

"Yes, I am, so do you accept my challenge."

"Yeah, I accept, it's been a while since someone challenged me in a sword duel."

The girl with a sword and I went to an open space on the platform, all the people gathered their attention to us, and the people started to form a crowd of audience that surrounded the area.

They started to bet and almost all of them bet their money on the girl carrying a sword in front of me.

Jane on the other hand bet her money on me.

The girl carrying the sword opened her mouth and said, "Norn Vel Zerza, The Phantom Swordsman of the Nameless Forest."

Norn is a beautiful girl, with silver hair tied in a twin tail and a voluptuous body, her outfit has the same characteristics as her village clothes and she has a magic sword on her waist.

"Oh, this tradition also existed here too," My lips curve upward, "I am John Wodwick Alver, I am The Death Keeper."

After our introduction, Norn drew her sword on her waist and took her stance, On the other hand, I only raised my right arm in front of me and then put my left arm on my back taking a stance.

When Norn saw that I didn't take out any weapon a displeased expression showed on her face like I was insulting her skills as a swordsman.

"Where is your weapon?" Norn said with a bit of anger in her voice.

"My hands are enough," I reply calmly.

Veins popped up on Norn's forehead and shouted, "Don't underestimate!"

Norn wants to attack John so badly but she holds back, their duel has not started yet after all.

The village chief walks out from the crowd looks at the two and says with a smirk, "Are you both ready?"

John and Norn both nodded their heads in confirmation.

"If that's the case, you can clash when the coin in my hands falls to the ground, but before that remember that no using any energy, only use your sword style, and physical strength" After saying that, the Village Chief took out a golden coin between her massive bombshells and then flicked it into the air.

The coin rose to the air and flipped rapidly.

The atmosphere became intense.

Norn lowers her body readying herself to give a fatal strike at any moment to her opponent.

A solemn expression displayed on her face and the entire muscles of her body were tensed up ready to engage.

Opposite Norn, you can see John standing in a relaxed posture like John didn't consider this duel a fight, he only sees this as a child's game.

Seeing this Norn became more angry.

The coin reached its final height and started to fall to the ground.

A moment later the coin fell.

At that moment the duel begins.
