Chapter 48 - Greatest Fear

"Are we there yet?" Julius asked.

"Not yet," Jun replied.

…

"Are we there yet?" Julius asked.

"Not yet," Jun replied.

"Are we there yet?" Julius asked.

"Not yet," Jun replied.

…

"Are we there yet?" Julius asked.

"Yes we're there! Are you happy now?! You can finally stop asking me the same question every 5 minutes!" Jun replied to Julius in an irritated tone.

"Geez, no need to get so mad, I was only asking a question," Julius told Jun which just made his master even more angry by Jun managed to stop himself from killing Julius as he allowed his jade dragon to descend from the sky on to the ground right in front of the village.

"So this is it? The second last village before we can finally complete this mission," Julius said as he got off the dragon and began to walk inside the village.

The villagers were surprisingly much more kind that the ones from the previous village that Julius and Jun had went to which Julius didn't complain about.

However, as Julius and Jun continued to walk towards the house which the aura was coming from, they both sensed a familiar sent in the air… it was the smell of flowers. Realizing what the smell of flowers meant, Jun got a sinister grin on his face as he quickly grabbed Julius by the wrist and began to drag him inside the home which the aura was coming from. All while this was going on, Julius had yet to completely figure figure out why Jun was so happy about.

"Hey master Jun, did you ever think that we look like a couple of burglars as he enter random peoples houses?" Julius asked his master as he finally walked inside the home and closed the door so that Jun wouldn't get pushed out of the house because of the aura.

As Julius saw the person who laid in front of him, he realized why Jun had such an evil grin on his face.

The next subject which Julius would have to wake up would be another girl which looked to be slightly shorter than Rosie and instead of having black, white or brown hair, she had blonde hair.

"So what do you think Julius?" Jun asked while barely managing to stop himself from bursting out in laughter.

"Let's just get this over with," said Julius as he put his hand forward and Jun grabbed it to place it on the girl's forehead.

"It doesn't matter who the girl is, I'll always be loyal to Liz… wait what? No, that's not what I meant to think," said Julius in his head right before he passed out and was sent into the empty space at which he knew he would have to fight a female warrior figure.

…

However, instead he was faced with a skinny male figure which had a full body armour much like spike's figure however in this figure's hand was a battle axe.

"Well that's odd, I thought that the figure's correlated with what gender the subject was but I guess that's false. Maybe it has to do with how the person's personality is," said Julius to himself as he watched as the glowing white figure of his appeared on the scene to fight the warrior figure.

Unlike the previous time that the glowing white figure had fought a girl, it didn't turn towards Julius to make a grin so that Julius would know that his chances with the girl were slim. Instead, his figure charged straight into battle to finish things off.

"Well that's odd, I guess it changed and has began to like me. Maybe it'll be nicer to me from now on," Julius said as he began to get happy that the white figure was being so nice to him.

Not wanting to waste any time, the two figures began their battle with Julius' figure quickly disarming the warrior which held the battle axe in its hand before going in for its killer final move… the deadly bombardment of endless fists. However even so, the warrior figure didn't give up as while it was getting punched, it moved it left hand back to charge for a fist attack before finally throwing it at Julius' figure. Even so, all of its efforts would go to waste as Julius' figure dodged the first and continued its endless punches until finally, the warrior was defeated as it was sent to fall into the void.

…

"So was ur a success again?" Jun asked Julius after noticing that his student had awoken from his slumber.

"Yes it was, there were a couple odd things but over all, I think I managed to get her on our side," said Julius as he watched as the blonde haired girl awoke from her slumber.

Her smooth face and soft lips caught Julius by surprise as he couldn't help but stare into her gleaming blue eyes.

"Who are you people?" the girl asked with such a gentle voice that Julius couldn't believe such a perfect girl could ever exist in the world.

"Hello, I'm Julius and that right there is my teacher who's name is Jun," Julius introduced himself before pointing towards his master to introduce him as well. After the girl looked at Julius closely, she was compelled to get on one knee and she bowed down to the one she would soon call king.

"King-zoned again?" Jun asked as he watched what was going on.

"Yes master, I'm afraid to say it but I've been king-zoned once again," said Julius while in his head he had other thoughts.

"I managed to get out of the king zone previously so I'll just do it again," Julius told himself.

"How wonderful, you can cry about it later, let's just finish the introduction before we go to the next village, and make sure to grab the girl as well," Jun told Julius as he headed for the door.

"Girl…?" the blonde girl asked.

"Yes, that's what I said," Jun replied in a tone which sounded like he wanted to say "are you deaf or something?".

"But…"

"I'm a boy"
