I AM AN ATHEIST

After A Month

In the unknown place under seawater, a man was facing three beasts.

These beasts had sharp fangs, short tails and glands on either side of their faces, especially there was an organ on their back which looked like the upper half part of a blade, from the point of humans, they were called Sharks.

This man was carrying two swords, one in each of his hands, he stared at the two sharks which were moving towards him from the front while the other was charging at him from the bottom.

However, his expression remained firm without any trace of fear, since the sharks were natural-born sea creatures, they were quite fast.

Although the speed of the man was not as fast as the sharks, it was barely enough for him to put up a fight.

The man was able to swim a bit faster and was able to exert movements in the water which were enough to defend and fight with these creatures.

Like a fish, while swimming through the water, he carried two swords as he faced the two sharks from the front.

The sharks and the man collided, each with their weapon, while the sharks used their sharp fangs, the man used the swords and the result was surprising as in the first exchange none got injured.

Not too long after the man intercepted the sharks from his front, the one from the bottom increased its pace and arrived at his foot, opening its mouth, it wanted to munch the man's legs out.

If it could talk, it would yell in joy food, food delicious meat.

When it was about to close the mouth and about to have a delicacy of meat, a sword appeared in its mouth.

Crunch

Right after it half-closed the mouth, the sword pierced through its upper jaw from inside to out, the immediate pain from the wound made the shark open back the mouth.

However, the sword was still sticking to the upper jaw of the shark, utilizing the chance the man kicked the sword from the inside making the sword dig deeper into the shark.

Blood was floating out from its mouth into the water.

Meanwhile, the man was also wounded as he lost one of his arms to another shark for the sake of saving his leg.

While the third shark retreated far away in pain, the other sharks surrounded the man and revolving around him waiting for the chance to strike.

Holding only the sword in his arm, the man did not was also waiting for them to strike, if possible he would charge at the sharks, but because of his heavy injury, his movements became sluggish also the pain when the salty water brought him through the wound exceeded his current endurability.

After ten seconds, he decided to give his all since he could no longer hold his breath, he swam towards the sharks, the sharks had also noticed it and made their way towards him.

One-handed man and the two sharks under the water began the brute battle, there were no techniques, no strategy.

The man was cutting whatever organ of the opponent he could, while the sharks were biting whatever part they could reach out on the man.

The blood of both the parties floated out and mixed with the water, no matter how much the man tried, he was outnumbered and with various disadvantages, he was the first one to fall, but also he took way life of another shark in his end moments while piercing the heart of it.

After dying, the man got revived in the hall.

" Brother, did you clear it?" Soon after he got revived, a voice came from behind him.

Turning around, the man looked at the person who had spoken just now and shook his head in reply.

" Brother, just give it up, there is no way to clear that room "

Hearing the suggestion the man replied: " Clark, I can not do it, I want to clear it at any cost ".

" But brother..." before Chicken23 could reply, a mocking voice " Look who is here? Isn't he the thrash who still struck at l.v 1" was heard.

This shout enraged Chicken23, immediately he charged at the man while yelling: " you mother fucker, how dare you call my brother thrash? ".

" Do you think I am afraid of you " the man also charged back with his sword.

" Clang"

" Clang"

Before both swords could collide with each other, they collided with different swords, Xavier who was wielding both of his swords in each of his hands appeared in between them.

Xavier looked at Chocken23 and said: " I don't want to see another Golu ", then turning his head towards another man he said: " back down".

" Why should I? " the man questioned, however, the next moment he took three steps back as sweat poured from his forehead.

There was a sword on his neck, this was the same sword which blocked his sword a moment ago, things happened fast that he could not even defend, within a second before he could even move, his hand was pushed back without any resistance and the sword neared his neck pushing him to take a few steps back.

" Clark, we are going", Xavier walked out from the hall through the door.

" Yes, brother " Chicken23 calmly followed behind him.

It was still afternoon, but they reached home, after getting inside, they cleaned up themselves and sat for lunch at the table.

After a month of training, Instructor Mona gave the trainees freedom to train at their desired time, she no longer emphasized staying in Guruschool from morning to evening and train continuously, so the trainees usually can come and train at their desired time and can leave at any time.

Soon after getting more freedom, the trainees started utilizing it, Xavier and his companions were also among them who would train at their convenience time.

The lunch seemed to be prepared beforehand, it was some kind of dish made up of pork.

Using a knife, while slicing down a little piece of the meat on his plate Xavier asked: " Clark, how is the recruitment going on? ".

" Terrible, Ever since your reputation fell from the peak to even lower than that of the ordinary guys, no one wants to follow you, let's forget about new recruits, among 20 members who originally joined us, only 7 remained". Chicken23 replied.

After being given the responsibility to recruits underlings, Chicken23 was feeling quite a headache, his suffering was only increased when his brother stubbornly challenging the room of sharks for over a month even after not able to clear the level itself.

Meanwhile, the other trainee surpassed Xavier and cleared level 2 and level 3 of other rooms.

Especially, the boars soloed these levels of rooms, among the boars the most eye-catching was Boar4, he even cleared l.v 4 surpassing his peers.

While originally the competitor who was able to put a fight with Boar4 still did not clear any level 2 rooms.

Which in turn, following the support of Boar4, his followers started calling Xavier thrash.

As more time more passed, more and more people became bold and started slandering Xavier on his face.

Of course, Xavier was not new to this type of treatment as he experienced similar treatment from the subjects of his kingdom, so he was patient and remained clear-headed, but those around him wanted to kill these guys hundreds of times.

" Forget it, and how are they? Are these guys who stayed behind are trustworthy and good? " After listening to Chicken23, Xavier asked further about them.

" About trust, I can not confirm it, some of them were also wanted to get away, however, most of these guys joined us hoping to have a spar with you, I think brother if you could defeat them, they might stay ".

Listening to the analysis of Chicken23, Xavier pondered for a while before nodding " Gather them after the meal, let me have a spar with them, I also would like to see where I stand when compared to normal trainees ".

" As you wish, brother" Chicken23 replied.

Then they continued to have their meal, after the meal, only Chicken23 headed towards the Gurukul to call the people.

My money is running out, I should request more gold coins, Xavier said to himself while looking in the almost empty bag of gold in his hand.

The reason for the high expenditure was the new furniture and things he bought from the merchandise in the Gurukul, every once a month a few merchants from a nearby kingdom visits the Gurukul and opens a shop for two days.

It included a wide variety of things, but the only downside was the price, which would be more than 20 times of original market price. Since Xavier lacked furniture, a gas stove and so on, he brought a lot of things.

Hence, the money in his packet was running out, he also thought about the letters he sent to his family through the merchants, he thought they would have reached them.

As Xavier was thinking about these things.

" Knock"

" Knock"
