Chapter 33 Kuina (Part 2)

"If you're not my junior sister, I'll beat you up first, and then take away the 'He Dao Yi Wen'. I'll see how you explain to the teacher when you go back." William Hu said threateningly.

He picked up He Dao Yiwen, put it back into his waist together with his sword, and then hugged Kuina: "I'm very busy. If you want to challenge me, you must at least defeat Aramis and the others first."

Being hugged by William in the posture of a princess, Guina seemed a little embarrassed, and gently pushed William's chest, but failed to push it. After hearing William's words, she put aside her shyness and embarrassment, He replied confidently: "They follow you all day long and obey you. What's the point of defeating them? If you want to defeat them, you must defeat the strongest one! As long as I defeat you, it is equivalent to defeating them!"

Being looked down upon by a little girl, Aramis looked very angry. He gritted his teeth at Kuina and raised his hand as a gesture: "If you are not the daughter of Teacher Koshiro, I..."

Guina glanced at Aramis, and deliberately stretched her face towards him: "How are you?"

Aramis grabbed his wrist and turned away from her.

Seeing the two of them bickering, William couldn't help but smiled, handed Kuina to Ajin to hold her, and at the same time ordered: "Take her to the doctor to see if there is any bone injury."

William was afraid that Kuina would be disobedient, so he said to her again: "I will play with you when you recover from your injury."

"What's the matter? It's a challenge!" Kuina puffed up her face and protested to William angrily.

"Okay, challenge." William responded with a smile, and gave Ajin a wink, and the latter understood Kuina and left.

William took good care of Kuina on weekdays. Part of it was because of his father Koshiro's face, part of it was his unconscious love for a child like Kuina, who was already an elder at his psychological age, and part of it was, Possibly a pity for Kuina.

Kuina's strength, and her persistent desire to defeat William, can be said to be forced by Koshiro.

Whether it is the experience of the previous life or the understanding after coming to this world, William understands that sometimes, whether he wants to admit it or not, there are differences in talent between people.

In terms of swordsmanship and fighting, take the people in William’s small gang as an example. William, who has been helped by Fate Plaza and given special expertise, he and Ajin, the two have the most outstanding talents, followed by Edmond, and Aramis again. And finally Wallonia.

If there is no Destiny Plaza, then William's talent is actually not as good as that of Ajin. He was strong because he was educated and systematically studied knowledge about combat, while Ajin relied on his own exploration.

After several people went to the dojo to study, Ah Jin caught up very quickly. If William did not have the help of Fate Square, his reputation as the strongest in the small gang might not be guaranteed. Although Ah Jin was loyal to him, but In the future, the team under him will expand, and there will be more people with various thoughts, so it is inevitable that there will be no other bad influences.

William knew the straightforward truth that there was a gap between people, so how could Koshiro, who had been a disciple for many years, not understand?

Kuina is a daughter, limited by her talent, she can improve quickly in the early stage of swordsmanship, but the further she goes, the stronger the ceiling above her head becomes.

From Koshiro's usual attitude towards Kuina, it can already be seen that Koshiro never thought that Kuina could become a leading swordsman, otherwise Kuina would be Koshiro's own child no matter what, even if it is for not falling The population is real, and it is not unreasonable to treat other disciples the same.

To put it bluntly, it treats all animals equally, but to put it bluntly, it just ignores them, just like stocking them.

The precocious Kuina was actually aware of this, that's why she pursued the title of the strongest disciple in the dojo, always thinking of defeating William, who was valued by Koshiro, and proving her father wrong.

William withdrew his thoughts. Because of taking care of Guina, it was too late to wait for the ship to set sail. He gave Edmond and Wallon a few simple instructions and let them board the ship.

Among the five of William, Arkin, Edmund, Aramis, and Wallon, William is the strongest, so he usually watches and escorts the ship by himself.

Of the remaining four, Ah Jin is the most talented, the most mature and stable, and has also trained hard, so he is the strongest, followed by Edmond, who has good talent, has the longest time to learn swords, and has been honed in several actual combats. But Aramis, who is frivolous, and Wallon, who is mediocre but hardworking.

William divided them into two groups. Originally, he wanted to group Edmund and the smart Aramis, and let the steady Akin and Wallon be together, but because Aramis and Edmond were not easy to deal with, They could only be separated, and Ajin, Aramis, Edmund and Wallon would take turns guarding the cargo on the ship.

This year has not encountered any major incidents, the limited number of naval battles, the enemy is not the opponent of William and others.

A drop of rain suddenly fell on William's face.

"The rain comes when it says so," complained Aramis, who also fell on him.

William squinted at the sky, and at some point in the distance a thick cloud had gathered.

"It looks like it's going to rain heavily?" William murmured.

...

"It looks like it's going to rain?"

The Kingdom of Navia, the noble district of Kalmar City, the House of the Minister of Finance.

The butler, Eaton, looked at the gloomy weather and muttered something to himself, then came back to his senses, and entered the reception room with a tray of refreshments himself.

The owner of the mansion, Count Arcadio, was listening to the report from the secretary of his trading company.

"... Judging from the information, the local market has almost been divided up, and the strategy adopted by the other party is very clever, and this fragmented market, even if you rely on your reputation to help us easily gain a foothold in the local area, but such one by one , It will take a long time and a lot of effort to slowly open up the market and grab space.”

Eaton concentrated on pouring the tea, as if he didn't care what the secretary said. He had served Arcadio for many years and knew that the other party hated servants who were smart and exposed.

Arcadio blew on the heat of the black tea, and said casually: "Did the people in the trading company complain to me that I didn't let you participate in the smuggling of alcoholic beverages this year, even in localities?"

The secretary of the trading company, who is considered a decent person who often goes to and from the upper class, fell to his knees on the ground with a "plop", sweating profusely, and said, "My lord, the root of the trading company is you, and the trading company is today because of you." , everyone in the business company knows this, and who is so heartless, who dares to complain to you in the slightest?"

Arcadio gave a "hmm" as a response, and after the secretary couldn't help trembling, he said, "Get up."

When the amnesty secretary stood up, Arcadio wrote lightly: "I'm sorry you are not wolf-hearted, but you still have some doubts, so I will explain to you that the scattered markets in the local area are not because I don't care, but I'm too lazy to bother."

"Since there are smart people who help us build a ready-made network, why should we waste our energy?"
