I AM AN ATHEIST

Sworn Brothers part 1

" I refuse "

" I won't be anyone's follower".

This is what Chicken23 answered.

Dragon63 who was not far away from her surprised by the answer, she never expected it, there was practically no one who did not want to join Dragon112 after seeing how easily he killed off the boss spider.

Chicken23 was not strong individually, he also made quite a few enemies within the circle of chickens when he tried to invite dragons into the group.

Although because of the rules of the Gurukul, he may not face any danger to his life, that was only limited, As long as he did not die, other methods were allowed outside the Guruschool.

But if he had a powerful backer as Dragon112, people would still think twice before touching his hair, hence it was a wise choice for him to accept the proposal of Xavier.

Dragon63 never thought that Chicken23 would decline the offer, even on the face of the prince and in presence of a large crowd.

" Did I hear wrong? that clad just declined such a good offer "

a man in the crowd exclaimed.

" Haha...how foolish of him, he should have accepted that"

Another man laughed at his decision.

" Here I was thinking, how to play with him if he got backed up by Dragon112, but I worried for nothing"

One of the enemies of Chicken23 in the crowd took a breath of relief.

The crowd did not disperse, they wanted to see the drama end, they wanted to see how Xavier would react after being rejected.

However, they got disappointed and at the same time they were surprised after hearing Xavier's reply " Chicken23, that's good I was just testing you, and indeed you passed the test, you are good enough to my brother, let's become brothers".

Becoming brothers, was completely different from becoming a follower, a follower would just be a follower and a subordinate, while a brother would be almost equal and had a much higher standing than a friend, brothers even though may not blood related, they would be ready to die for each other.

The crowd could not guess what this young man was thinking, making a nobody as a brother, that was a foolish move.

Everyone was thinking of him as a madman, but they did not expect this damn Chicken23 much more of a madman than this young man as they heard from Chicken23's mouth: " I refuse".

People could not take it any more, they wanted to hack this Chicken23, there were quite a few new trainees in the crowd who get acquainted with Dragon112, but this guy even after getting a rare chance for becoming a brother of Dragon112 refused to so, however, they were more confused by Xavier, as he replied: " If that's brother Chicken24's decision, then I would gladly

accept it ".

The point to be noted is here, Xavier called him a brother even Chicken23 did not accept it, Xavier considered him as his brother.

Xavier was not a person to force anyone to do something, he would offer them a chance if he had any, and gives them the freedom to choose.

" Brother Dragon112, If nothing else remains, then I will take my leave as I am getting late for the Gurukul".

Chincken23 said and he was about to leave, a silhouette blocked his path and asked: " Chicken23, why?"

This silhouette is none other than Dragon63, she wanted to know the reason why Chicken23 who always admired Xavier refused to be his brother.

She saw it, she saw it with her own eyes that Chicken23 wanted to say something, but he looked to be not to be able to say it.

Then Chicken23 passed by her without telling anything.

As soon as Chicken23 left, the crowd also began to disperse, soon everyone left except a single person.

Finding that everyone left, this person walked towards Xavier and after reaching an appropriate distance, he said: " I have information on Golu, let's talk inside ".

Xavier's heart throbbed when heard that, he did not delay and immediately invited that man inside the house.

At the same time, he walked towards Molu then he whispered into his ear: " Go and follow Chicken23, I feel something is not right. If you find anything odd, report me, and remember to not take any action on your own ".

Molu after getting instructions from Xavier did not think even once before walking in the direction where Chicken23 went.

Now in the small house Herald, Dragon63, That man and Xavier were seated on the mat.

Looking at the man who looked to be uncomfortable while sitting on the mat Xavier apologized: " Sorry, This prince lacks little furniture in his home".

" not a big deal" The man replied, he did not mind such petty things.

" About Golu, he asked me to inform you that he is ok, you don't have to worry about him for now "

He said before introducing himself, he knew what was important.

Hearing it, Xavier finally took a long breath, he felt a little bit of weight on his shoulders looked to be decreased.

" Thank you, brother, for giving us the information, brother how should I refer you? Can you tell more about it".

Xavier asked as he wanted to know more about Golu's condition.

" Brother? I am not qualified to be called in such a way, my name is Kite, I am just a sweeper of Gurukul"

The man replied, but from his clothes, he did not look like one.

Actually, the sweepers, cooks and dishwashers are pretty common in Gurukul, they are the people who got disqualified for becoming trainee, while unwilling to show their face at home and disappoint the expectations of the family that had on them they took up low-level jobs in the Gurukul.

Anyone could hire them as long as they had sufficient funds, the main currency was here gold coin.

Normal a family consist of four members could live for a whole year with just 10 gold coins.

However here the cost to hire a worker either for cooking or sweeping is 15 gold coins per month, being prince Xavier could afford it, but for the same reason he decided to not trust anyone, he did not want to die of poison, so he refused to hire workers.

" It does not matter, since you came here with good intentions there is nothing wrong with me calling you brother" Xavier responded.

" Well, If that's the case then I agree and since you asked about Golu, I would tell"

" I am sweeper, I work for Lara in her house, Lara lives alone since I am her sweeper, she asked me to live with her, so basically we were only two members in that house and yesterday night a man brought Lara along with him, from the looks she seemed to be severally injured"

" I did know what happened, I panicked since the only one who hired me is Lara, if she dies, it would severally affect my livelihood"

" So out of concern, I asked him what happened, the answer I got from him was that she was not serious and would recover in a month, and until then he was given the task to take care of her along protecting her"

" Later, I came to know his name was Golu and the whole incident, at first I got angry on him for stabbing the sweet girl Lara, but it decreased after I saw genuinely taking care of her"

" And in the morning, he forced me to wake up and told me to send you the message of him being safe, however, when I asked him to do it himself, he replied his other punishment was to not to meet any other trainee until she wakes up"

Kite talked out continuously, even Herald found it unbelievable and surprising, he never met anyone such as kite who could talk continuously without a single pause.

Xavier finally understood that Golu was safe, so some of his worries lessened.

Boar4, you wait.

Xavier talked to him inwardly.

" And when I came here, I just happened to look at your duel, I am surprised by your last move, how did you come up with it? "

Kite asked as his eyes gleamed.

" Yeah prince, that was quite a good move, how did you do it? Who thought you to do it?"

Not only kite even Dragon63 wanted to know more about such a move, in all her life she had seen many sword fights, but she had not seen such a unique throwing sword fight before.

It's my time to shine you, bastard prince, tell them that you learned from me.

Herald thought as he put up a smug face.

Everyone looked at Xavier for his answer, being stared at by many people, Xavier felt a little uncomfortable but he still answered: " Flash Inspiration, it was a flash inspiration".

" Wow, you are awesome " kite praised.

" prince could teach me how to do it too, I wanted to learn it too" Dragon63 requested.

Flash Inspiration my ass! you just copied it from me.

Bastard prince, I will not forgive you, damn you! how dare you steal the attention of a woman through my technique.

Herald cursed inwardly while being jealous of Xavier.

At the moment, after thinking of a way to escape Xavier stood up and said: " We are getting late, hurry we have to go to Guruschool "

Indeed they were already late, Dragon63 and Herald both of them panicked, because currently in their head only was a single thought that is the anger of the gatekeeper of hell, this was a nickname given to Mona, it based on her aggressive nature.

Then they remembered the penalty for being absent, that ten times of one day's training the next day.

" No way"

Shouting out simultaneously, Herald stood up before rushing into the bathroom to get ready.

" I am going too, I will meet you at Guruschool"

Dragon63 bid farewell as she rushed back to her house.

" Then I should also take my leave too"

Kite also stood up, after all, everyone was busy, he could not stay here at this time.

When everyone left and Herald went to the bathroom, Xavier came out of the house and stood in the mid of the narrow street.

After five minutes, a man ran towards him and whispered something into his ears.

" Damn them, I wanted to avoid them, and forget about that incident, but they poked me, Molu let's go, I am going to show them that they should not mess with me ".
