Limits.

The kid walked in front of me and said "Whenever someone visits here, it"s supposedly a big event . I hope I get to see this as well . I was very small when someone visited out village, so I don"t remember anything" . I didn"t reply, I was still shocked that there could be a village in these parts of the forest . "The elite animals or rather beasts were more present here . People of this village need to be quite strong, otherwise, they wouldn"t be able to survive out here" I thought .

As the kid talked away, we arrived at the entrance to the village . When I entered the village, I could feel many gazes on me . I could also feel killing intent coming from all over the place . I instinctively turned my head towards the largest source of the killing intent and saw a middle aged man looking at me . "This guy is dangerous . Probably as dangerous as the sword woman that severed my arm" I thought .

Whenever I looked at someone old or young, they seemed strong . "No wonder this village can exist here . They could destroy villages that numbered 200 household easily, with that kind of strength" I thought . The kid in front of me said "The people in the village are very nice . When you meet them, please don"t use those bad words" . I responded absentmindedly "Sure" .

As we pa.s.sed the gate and went deeper into the village, I paid extra attention to the guy with strongest killing intent . I noticed him looking at someone and then giving that person some kind of signal with his head . "I don"t know if this is a trap, if everything goes south, I can use this kid to my advantage" I thought and readied myself for a possibility of an ambush .

As we walked towards the centre of the village, another youngster started walking towards us, as if to intercept me and the kid . The kid became quite happy when he saw the that person and shouted while running towards the youngster "Hey! Ricky! There is a newcomer! He came to visit!" . I was now on my guard . This seemed like a deliberate play and the kid that looked innocent, was supposed to lure me inside .

With this in mind, I stopped walking . Going in any deeper would be foolish . The closer I was to the exit, the better . "I wouldn"t be able to handle all of these people, even if there were two of me" I thought and stood in place . The kid talked to his friend for a while and both of them started walking towards me .

" . . . Maybe I"m just paranoid? The killing intents are real but who wouldn"t try to protect their homes? Let"s see how this plays out" I thought and waited for the kid to come back with his friend . It didn"t take long and when they arrived in front of me, the kid said "This is my friend Ricky! He is a bit older than me because he is 16 this year" . He then turned towards his friend Ricky and said "This is the guy I was talking about . He is a bit slow in his head but he came to visit our village! The big event is going to happen right? I will finally see what it is!" . The Ricky guy smiled at the kid, then turned towards me and said "So, why did you come to visit?" .

I looked at the youngster and said "I didn"t . I stumbled upon your village as I was travelling through the forest . I must say that, you have some pretty impressive people inside here" . The guy wasn"t impressed and asked politely "Oh? And who could those people be?" . I turned towards the middle aged man and said "For example that middle age man over there . You can stop with your killing intent, I"m not your opponent" .

When I faced the youngster again, I said "The same if for you . You are not my opponent" . The guy didn"t seem to like my comment and said "Would you like a try?" to which I responded "I didn"t come here to fight you guys . I"m here for supplies . If you are not willing to trade, I can leave" . The youngster snorted and said "Are you scared?" .

I looked him in the eyes and said quietly "Of you? No . I"m not even scared of that guy over there" and pointed at the middle aged man . The youngster couldn"t take it anymore and rushed at me . He was strong to be honest . At the age of 16, he was able to accelerate pretty well and he displayed some strength .

I waited for the youngster to arrive . He threw a punch at me . I simply raised my left hand and caught his punch . He seemed to be surprised, when he noticed that nothing happened to me . He was even more surprised, that I had a firm grip on his fist . I said "I told you, you are not my opponent" and threw him away . I didn"t use a lot of strength but he flew through the air anyway . Because this was not an attack on my part, the guy could easily land on the ground and stand up .

The kid cried to his friend "Ricky! What are you doing? We can"t attack visitors! No one would come here if we were to do that!" . The kid was obviously delusional but had a kind heart . Ricky answered "I was testing him . Village Chief told me to" . The kid was flabbergasted, while I already knew that . He then turned towards me and said "You are indeed strong . I"m not your opponent but I"m younger than you . When I"m your age, I will be much stronger!" . I looked at him and said "As you like" and turned towards the middle aged man . "So, the Village Chief, right?" . The guy looked me in the eyes and said "Why did you come here?" to which I shrugged my shoulders and replied "Didn"t I already tell you? I need supplies, I didn"t even know there was a village here" . The man responded "And we would like for it to stay that way" .

I said "It is your choice . I have my own confidence, that is why I didn"t start running yet . You can try me or just sell me some supplies and I will treat it as we never met before" . The old man said "Do you think I would believe your lies?" . "When did I lie?" I thought then looked at the man in more details .

After a while, I noticed something . "Hmmm . He seems to be sick… . no, he is dying . Just like Nick!" I thought . No wonder he was hostile . If the strongest person dies, then who will protect the people that are weaker? "He probably has a successor already but that successor may be on mine or below my level of skill . He just wants to scare me probably" I thought .

I said to the man "So that is how it is? Listen . I"m a traveller and I didn"t come here for any reason besides some supplies . Even if you are dying, I have no intention of doing anything to your people" . The man became visibly shocked and muttered "How do you… . " to which I responded "Because the person that taught me about medical knowledge, died the same way" .

The guy was stunned and not sure what to do . I asked him "How can I prove to you that I don"t mean any harm to your people? I just want some supplies" . The man contemplated for a bit and said "We don"t use money, so we don"t sell things here . Money is useless to us here . Everyone works and contributes . So, you want me to believe you? Stay here and work for a while . Then we will give you the supplies that we can provide" .

"That is an interesting offer . I will take it then . I need those supplies and besides, it will be only for a while" . The man nodded his head and said "I will have my eyes on you, if you try something…" to which I shook my head and said "What am I supposed to do?" . He pointed at Ricky and said "He will show you what to do" . Then all the people returned to their own tasks .

PLEASE READ! NOT PART OF CHAPTER!

So, I think you guys can see the results for yourself . More people chose slower progress over faster progress . I"m still a bit disappointed . I thought more people would voice their opinions but guess I was wrong . Slower progress it is BUT I will give you one thing . I don"t want the novel to go on and on and on . . . about one thing . So, although the progress stays the same and the details too . I will skip unnecessary stuff like 20 chapters on 1 thing . About the training, I will shorten that as well (not that he will master stuff faster but that you won"t have to read stuff that repeats all the time . Of course when there are changes or large improvements, I will write about that) .

For those that voted (for whichever option), I thank you and this shows to me that you care . For those who reached this point and didn"t vote -That is fine, I still appreciate your views .
