The Longsword Of The Renmant Flame

Billy finally reached the entrance, and there he saw Run's Parents talking with another couple.

Run's Mother: Look, he will be here soon… Here he is.

Billy got beside them and looked at the couple, one looked like a rough man, probably he was in military, the woman looked intimidating too, even though she was thin, he could see an intimidating aura around her, was this Inner Strength?

Woman: So you are the kid that dared to injure my son?

Billy: Yes.

Woman: Good, then I will let you off if you can give me your arm.

Billy: What? No! And who the hell are you to order me around like that?!

Woman: Oh? You don't know who am I?

Billy: ...The wife of the captain of the military forces of Joyou?

Woman: Tch, I AM the captain of the military forces of Joyou!

Billy was honestly surprised, he thought that she would behave like the entitled mothers of his world, but going this far?

Welp, he saw an enormous shadow behind them, and with confidence, he talked back.

Billy: Then where the f.u.c.k were you when your son and his friends bullied my friend? Where the f.u.c.k were you when I was the one that beaten them?! Haaah!?

The woman and the man were surprised from Billy, he wasn't anything like the other 10 years old kids, he behaved with disrespect for elders and knew curse words too.

Woman: Tell me who are your parents! I'll speak with them immediately about your violent behavior!

?: I'm here.

The woman and the man turned around, and froze on the spot. Run's Parents looked at the man in question and their eyes widened in surprise.

?: So, you wanted to speak with me, right?

The couple sweated cold and the woman bowed immediately.

Woman: Please don't mind my words, Sir Bora. I didn't knew this was your child.

Bora: So even if he wasn't my child you would behave like that?

Woman: N-No… I don't dare. Hey honey, let's go back…

Man: ...Yes…

He whimpered as he followed his wife out, but Bora stopped them by grabbing their heads and lifting them up.

Then he placed both of them in front of Billy and said.

Bora: Apologize.

Woman: I-I'm sorry, Sir Bo-

Bora: What the f.u.c.k are you apologizing at me for?! Apologize to my son!

The woman flinched and the couple turned around, before bowing to him.

Parents: We apologize for our behavior, child.

After that, Bora stood on the side as the couple hurriedly walked away. Bora watched them leaving as he turned around towards Billy.

Bora: Billy, what did you do?

Billy: ...I broke their son's arm.

Bora looked at Billy for a moment before he spoke.

Bora: Why?

Billy: He hit me with a brick, twice, in the head.

Bora sighed and shook his head.

Bora: I should have teached you about your sixth sense… Well, you hurt him back, that's good.

Billy was surprised again, then don't scare me like that! I thought you would punish me! And how strong are you to make the captain of the guards run away!?

Bora turned towards Run's Parents and said with a smile.

Bora: Hello, I'm Bora, thank you for taking care of my son.

Run's Father: No, no, no. You don't need to thank me, besides, he's one of the few friends that my son has, it would be nice to have him here playing with him.

Bora: Hahahaha, I'm glad! Well, I will take him back now.

Run's Father: There's no problem!

Bora nodded and grabbed Billy's hand, before they walked away, when they got a dozen of meters away, they heard two childish voices.

Run: Hey Billy!

Bora and Billy turned around, and saw Run and Alice waving at them from a window.

Run/Alice: Bye!

Billy waved his free hand to them with a smile on his face, meanwhile Bora's eyes glinted a bit when he saw Alice's arm with ripped off cloth.

Bora: Well, so that's your other friend? Great.

Billy: Hey dad, what did you do to be so respected?

Bora: ...That's actually a funny story…

Then he explained to Billy how he saved the town once from an horde of Danger Beast by killing their leader for Sarah's 6th birthday, he wanted to make some clothes with some nice fur, and he found the leader of the horde.

Billy didn't know if he wanted to laugh or hold back, he saved a town just for making a gift for a 6 years old child?

Then Bora spoke again.

Bora: So, did your "friend" helped you with that wound?

Billy: Yeah, I started to bleed so she closed the wound with a piece of her clothes.

Bora: Hahahaha, Billy, that's a signal that means she is ready for you!

Billy lightly blushed as both of them turned to the Yowa Village. As they walked in a way between the town and the village, Bora placed an hand in front of Billy, and he stopped. He looked confused at Bora, before he felt a small earthquake getting stronger, and something popped out from the ground.

It looked like a giant dark brown c.o.c.kroach. it had long antennae, giant claws and red eyes. An Earth Dragon, Bora looked at it with a smirk and said.

Bora: Hey Billy, do you want to see what else you can do with Inner Strength?

Billy's thoughts were interrupted from that question, and looked at his father, then he nodded, how could he know what Inner Strength really is if he didn't seen its full capabilities?

Bora's smirk turned into a grin as he took out his Meat Grinder from his back, and as the Earth Dragon was attacking Bora, Bora slashed downwards with a single hand. 

Suddenly, the Earth Dragon's body was deformed as his body except for the arms exploded in blood and gore, when the path was cleared, Billy's eyes widened in fear when he saw a trail as wide as the beast itself keeping to destroy the road as it slowly enlarged.

It would have gone for around 50 meters before the pressure made from the heavy sword and Inner Strength vanished, leaving blood and a destroyed road 50 meters long and from the previous 1 meter wide, it reached 25 or 30 meters wide at the end.

And Bora used only a single-handed swing to do this, and didn't used any complex technique, yet, this power could easily crush a skyscr.a.p.er.

If Bora would have achieved a Teigu right for him, then only few people could win against him, and between them, the Great General Budo wasn't one of them.

It's actually scary that such people exists… But it also reassured Billy that he was on his side, not only that, but that if he could keep up with Bora's training, he could be as strong as him, or even more because Bora said that he started training when he was older, and he was still on his prime even if he was 50 years old.

Billy didn't have a really extreme training like Bora, but he assured him that if he kept his training, at the age of 40 he would be stronger than himself, and that is only if he keeps his normal training, increasing every day the amount of training.

But if he would have gotten an extreme training like Bora, surviving alone in the snow, fire, jungle, etc… And if Billy was lucky, then Bora predicted that at the age of 35, he would be peerless in terms of strength, speed, agility, and durability, and that is because he started to train at such a young age.

Since he started to train since he was 2 years old, and kept increasing his training until now, his body didn't take anything dangerous, he wasn't ever ill due to his healthy body.

Bora put back his Meat Grinder on his back and started once again his walk towards Yowa Village with Billy. No wonder Bora said that only strong people has it, there's no way that someone that has Inner Strength could be weak.

Once they reached home, Billy asked for a more extreme training to unlock his Inner Strength, and after some confirmations… Now he needs to walk without a pair of shoes the entire time for 1 year, apparently one's Inner Strength couldn't be unlocked with regular training.

And Bora told him that doing that was just the first step. And so Billy did it, the next day everyone asked where his shoes were, and he said that it was for training. Billy was unsure what Bora meant by walking like this the entire time.

But when he actually started to walk in the ground, he could feel many small rocks hurting the plant of his feet, and he understood.

[1 year passed]

He finally passed 1 year walking and running without shoes, his feet built enough layers of skin to make sure that rocks won't hurt him in the slightest.

He could feel his lower body getting stronger too, since he liked the air blowing on his feet, he started to walk with sandals from that moment.

At school nothing much changed, Run and Alice were best friends, and it seems that Alice wanted to confess to Billy, however she was too shy to say it around other people so she kept silent and waited for a chance, which never came. Honestly, her attempts made Billy laugh a bit.

However, he didn't pass the entire time to have fun, he even learned a bit of martial arts from Bora, saying that they would help him a bit on unlocking the Inner Strength, so he practiced around 100 times the same stance and techniques.

His father called that martial art [Imperial Fist]. Apparently there were 15 stages of it, and Billy was on the 2nd stage, once he reached the 5th, he would feel his Inner Strength, or so his father says.

But he didn't stop there, he would lift stones now instead of doing bodyweight exercises, because he reached his limit there. The stones weighted a lot, but it was useful after 1 year.

And today, that problem would be solved… What problem? The one of Hank raping Martha. His arm strength reached 65 kilograms, which was even more than his own weight, that was 52 kilograms, and he was heavier than other children of his age because he was much taller than them.

So, when he told Alice that he would go solve the problem now, she panicked and held him tightly, saying that she didn't want him to get hurt. Run knew what they were talking about, Alice couldn't keep that secret for herself so she told about it to Run.

Run: Billy, be careful, as much strong as you are, he is an a.d.u.l.t.

Billy: Yes, I know. I even did Martial Arts just for being stronger.

Billy patted Run and Alice's heads before he sneaked in the school, at the same time that Hank should be there with Martha alone. Hank didn't give off any feeling that he could possess Inner Strength, and he didn't looked much of someone who trains, so it is a good advantage for Billy. 

He obviously removed his sandals or he would have done too much noise, so he walked barefoot, and he slowly reached his classroom, like almost every day, Hank was there with Martha, it was still a miracle that she didn't get pregnant yet, or didn't seem she was.
