From Company Slave To The Prince Of Darkness 62 Chapter 62 ~ Shin Vs Cain And Casper 1/3

Although Vlad had never intended and made them follow the proper rules of servants in his manor, here, they will need to as they are t.i.tled his maids and butler. Because of this, they were taken by the other servants of the mansion to guide them to the room their master will stay at, the room the three of them will stay at, and teach them the rules of the residence itself.

There are almost no rules in Vlad's mansion so Shin, Ayla, and Stella felt as though their moves are being limited for the very first time. But knowing that this is for their master, Vlad, they did not mind at all.

After they were finished touring and listening to the other servants, they were allowed to attend again to their master.

And here they are now, standing just beside Vlad - or at least that was the case for Ayla and Stella.

[ Hehe! Try to keep up with us ojii-san! ]

[ Un! We're not to be underestimated! ]

Shin stood on an open field, clear with everything. This location is the backyard of the gigantic mansion.

The field that Shin is standing at has a rectangular shape. There is nothing to be seen inside the rectangular field, but outside its lines, the place could not be more relaxing.

There are many flowers decorated throughout the entire area. Benches and tables are placed all around for guests and soldiers that are either here to relax or watch other people fight. Statues of a knight, tiger, dragon, and a king are also placed out on each corner of the empty field. But among all those, the thing that will definitely get the attention of everyone was the large fountain that is almost taller than the first floor of the mansion.

[ Cain is already 12 and Casper is just about to turn 10 this month. They're two years apart from each other but I trained them at the same time. The butler, Shin, it seems that you're a strong fighter since Vlad-san trusts you a lot. I'm sure you can at least defeat the two of them both at the same time. ]

[ I will try. ] like a proper butler, he bowed to the acquaintance of his master.

The two opponents that are standing far in front of him are nothing more than kids. Sure, they about as tall as his co-workers Ayla and Stella, but to Shin and everyone else, they're nothing but two battle maniac kids.

( Yep, they're goblins... Vlad had appointed me a fight with two goblins... Just what is he thinking...? ) Shin stares dead eyes to Vlad.

Vlad only stared back at him with a nod. And Shin thought that he heard the word "go on" escape his lips.

[ Tsk. ]

( Seriously... Hmm... But after this, I will also need to fight the others... At least someone is decent enough to have a fight with me. ) his eyes focused on General Cristov as he surveyed the other fighters he will need to fight.

[ Prepare your self, ojii-san! ] the two kids called out to him again and he turns his eyes on them.

( Un, so all I need to do is to knock down these two goblins... Fair enough... )

***

[ Start! ]

As they heard the signal, Cain and Casper immediately ran off to their opponent. Both holding their swords, they rushed towards him.

[ Haah! ]

One sword fell down on Shin and he immediately blocked it with his bare arms.

*Thud!

As the sword hits, it made a loud sound as though it hit something even harder than itself.

( Seriously...? ) Shin complained in his head as he was left unsatisfied with the weak attack of the opponent.

With a dissatisfied look on his face, he pushed the kid back with a thrust of his arm on his own weight and he went flying.

Shin is not holding any kind of weapon and is fighting only with his bare hands while the two both have wooden swords. He was given the chance earlier to choose from a variety of weapons, but he refused, saying that it would be too unfair for the young masters.

But the real truth was, he just felt he'll be dragged down too far in shame if he uses any kind of weapons with opponents as weak as goblins.

And he can't be further than glad that he did so.

*Swoosh!

Another swing of a sword came towards his abdomen. The other kid ignored what had happened to the other and went for a reckless attack when he thought he saw an opening.

But the attack was too easily foresaw by Shin, and so, he immediately grabbed the sword by its wooden blade and stopped the attack just before it hits him. And like what he did to the other kid, he sent him flying to the other edge of the field.

*Bam!

The two mercilessly landed on the ground.

[ [ Tsk! ] ] Cain and Casper clicked their tounges in disapproval over what just happened.

They did not expect in the least that the enemy would throw them off and take their hits directly without even dodging.

[ [ ... ] ] they stared at Shin with their beastly eyes and Shin stared back at them, only with no interest at all.

Humiliated, they stood their stance properly and fixed their hold on their swords. They then looked at each other in the eyes and nodded - as if they figured out a plan to successfully land a hit on him.

Again, they rushed towards Shin, only this time, they split mid-way to both sides of Shin; surrounding him and leaving him guarding on both sides.

Shin turns a glance at the two of them: one on the right and one on the left. To him, it was easy to predict what they are going to do.

*SwooOosh!!!

With a speed not normal for 10 years old kids, they dashed towards him.

They hold their sword opposite its hilts and they swing at him.

BAM!!!

But instead of hitting their target, they hit each other instead. They fell again on the ground with a thud. As they were about to hit Shin's neck, he suddenly disappeared, forcing the two of them to b.u.mp at each other.

Trained by their father, they know how to respond to attacks; but never on unexpected things they did not even know or have seen yet.

[ O-Ouch...! ]

Scratching the part of their heads that were hurt, they look for their enemy.

[ Wh-Where is he!? ]

[ That b.a.s.t.a.r.d ojii-san! ]

They both shouted with angry expressions on their faces.

They look both their left and right and they were not able to find him.

That was until...

Bam!!!

A fist came landing on top of their heads - knocking the two of them out, unconscious.

[ Hmm... ] Shin stared at their limp bodies on the ground.

( At the very least... strategy-wise, they're better than goblins... ) as he thought so, he immediately looks at the butler who is acting as the referee.

[ Shin-san wins! ] the referee shouted.

But although he won, he did not celebrate or even smiled, he only looks at his next three opponents before he could fight General Cristov.

There were Caiden and two other unfamiliar faces with creepy smiles.

( Who's next? )

He made sure they understood what is inside his head as he stares back at them with his back straight up and with his hands inside his pockets, trying to intimidate them.
