Chapter 33: Ice Blade: Ice Dragon
The temperature alternated between cold and warm day and night, and it waited like this for two whole days before it saw Arthur waking up from the bed by the window in the ward through the window of the infirmary.
Under the blue sky, the warmth of the sun flowed through Cooper's body.
It quickly flew over the street lamp, stood on the window, and stretched out its eagle head to look carefully at Arthur, who was still in a daze.
In the ward, Arthur saw Cooper stroke the eagle's head:
"Cooper, how long have I slept?"
Cooper raised his eagle claws, closed one of the three in front, and stretched out the other two to gesture to Arthur.
"Two days..." Arthur fell silent. He had to admit that he was still too weak compared to the real strong ones.
However, he found that his limb strength and mental strength had greatly improved after waking up, and he was stronger than before.
On the cabinet next to the bed was a navy uniform and his knife.
Arthur looked at it, put on his navy cap, put on his navy uniform, picked up the blade and looked at it carefully:
"What name should I give you? You have the ability to freeze your enemies... cold air..."
In the life-and-death battle, the blade unleashed its extreme cold power.
But in the test battle, the knife did not show that power.
He guessed that the power of extreme ice would only appear in a real battle or when he was in desperate situation.
"Let's call you the Extreme Ice Blade. To keep it simple, the Extreme Ice Blade, Ice Dragon, let's just call you Ice Dragon." Arthur looked at his blade and smiled. At the moment of bestowing life, a surge of domineering energy was suddenly drawn from his body into the blade.
As if getting a response, Arthur looked at it in amazement.
"You extracted the domineering energy from my body... After I gave it a name, did it sense it just now?" Arthur put it back into the scabbard in surprise, stretched his still sore and painful limbs, and walked out of the infirmary.
"Cooper?" (Arthur, are you feeling better? Are you still in pain?)
"I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable. I think I'll need a few days of recuperation to fully recover." Arthur responded to Cooper. He was touched that it cared about him like a human.
After hearing this, Cooper hurriedly followed Arthur, stepping left and right. His cute and silly look attracted the attention of all the doctors and nurses in the infirmary.
That look was hilarious.
"Newcomer, you may need to recuperate for a while." The doctor saw Arthur pushing the door and leaving, and hurriedly shouted to stop him.
Arthur was now starving and just wanted to find something to eat to fill his stomach, regardless of the doctor's dissuasion.
Seeing this, the doctor hurriedly followed him out, and looking around, he found that Arthur was gone:
"Hey! You're the patient... Where is he?"
Outside the training base, Arthur passed by here with Cooper and went to the cafeteria to eat a big meal.
Arthur glanced back at Cooper's furtive walk and advised:
"Cooper, you better stay on my shoulder."
It's like a silly bird with its woolen pants held up, its neck stretched forward, following you closely, or like a nearly two-meter-tall chicken following behind it.
"Cooper..." Cooper agreed, spread his wings suddenly and came to Arthur's shoulders, habitually wearing an eagle hat.
The appearance of Arthur and Cooper made all the recruits in the training ground look at him.
Some looked at me with envy, some with jealousy, some with disdain, and some with dissatisfaction…
Others look at Arthur like a monster, believing that such perseverance and persistence are not something that humans possess.
"She's only 14 years old. Normally, at this age, she'd still be doing odd jobs..."
"Haha, do you want to say he is a genius? In this era, many naval geniuses have died in missions. With his personality, early death is inevitable."
"Everyone comes here to pursue official positions, but how many of them can really hone their own justice?"
Arthur, who became the focus, found an open space, clenched his fists, and let a stream of air in his body flow into his wrists.
The armor skin immediately wrapped around his fist, and Arthur looked at it expressionlessly:
"This is indeed much harder than a piece of iron. Haha, it is really effective to have a strong person to help with training."
Thinking about the competition with Zefa, Arthur never wanted to do it again. It was a great torture for both the mind and the body...
Until now, his body muscles are still sore and tired.
"I've been in the Navy for almost two weeks now. I've learned Haki and five of the Navy's six styles. Are you going to quit and leave?"
Arthur thought about this question for a while and felt that he still had room for advancement, so he put the idea of leaving the navy aside for the time being.
"In the next two months, you have to get stronger, Cooper." He said to Cooper above his head.
Cooper looked in front of Arthur and saw a woman walking towards him calling out.
He raised his head and looked forward, and saw a girl in a peach-colored short-sleeved shirt.
Arthur narrowed his eyes, looked carefully, and thought: "This is, Gion? It seems that during the four days of fighting with Zephyr, I also vaguely observed her gaze..."
She had a sword with a peach-colored scabbard and a white handle at her waist, and she looked like a female swordsman.
Although she looks good and has a slim waist...
The cleavage between her breasts was clearly visible, she wore her hair tied in a ponytail, and her huge body seemed too big for him.
This made Arthur feel physically uncomfortable; it was not the type he liked.
It is undeniable that she is indeed a beautiful girl now.
She came to within a meter of Arthur, with her hands on her hips. Her nearly three meter tall height blocked the sunlight from shining on Arthur.
Arthur looked up at her, pointing at her chest with his hands, a few beads of sweat on his bewildered face: "..."
It was much bigger than his head, which made Arthur sweat profusely...
"Hmm..." She took a deep breath and looked Arthur carefully from head to toe. She really couldn't see any difference between him and ordinary people.
Just like that, the two of them stared at each other for a few minutes, and Kake, who was doing physical training in the playground, saw it with an angry look on his face.
"Your name is Arthur, right? I'm also a swordsman, let's have a sparring match." Gion suddenly spoke and challenged Arthur to a sparring match.
Arthur was startled, thinking it was something else, and after being stared at for a few minutes he started to blush.
He refused on the spot: "No, I just woke up from a coma, and there is no part of my body that doesn't hurt."
"Huh?! I confessed to this woman 36 times and succeeded every time, and you just rejected her like that!" After hearing this, Kaji stopped training and walked towards Arthur angrily.
"This is an exchange between swordsmen. It's none of your business, Kaji...! Mind your own business." Gion advised, understanding that Arthur's body had not yet recovered.
"I don't accept it. I want to fight him in a duel!" Jiaji refused to listen and ran towards Arthur with big strides angrily.
The hostile atmosphere immediately made Arthur's brain react.
Sensing the danger, his Observation Haki was triggered.
Arthur frowned and sighed bitterly: "What law have I violated to make an enemy like this?"
"Nothing, I just don't like you because you rejected my goddess!" Kaji ran to Arthur and punched him directly in the body.
Arthur used his observation Haki to predict the attack point first, and moved his body to instantly avoid Kaji's fist.
"Your goddess? Did she agree to it?" Arthur asked Kaji, "Are you just saying that she is your goddess?"
Kaji quickly steadied himself after his punch missed his target, and threw another punch at Arthur.
"I have no reason to fight you." Arthur warned Kaji, "But if you start causing trouble again... I will really fight you."
I quickly moved my feet to avoid his punch, but found that my body had not fully recovered and my coordination was seriously lacking.
At this moment, Cooper found the right moment and flapped his sturdy wings at Kaji.
The moment it hit Kaji, the iron block was used.
boom!
The second punch missed, and before Kaji could steady himself, he was knocked back more than ten meters by Cooper's wings.
"Kuku~" After Cooper, who was standing on Arthur's shoulder, slapped him away, he stretched his neck and looked at Kake seriously.
"Oh, I really don't like guys like you, Kake." When Gion saw Kake suddenly running out and fighting with Arthur, he held his forehead and left.
Arthur's body hasn't recovered yet, so the sparring will have to wait for a while.
"Wait, Gion, I'm doing this to get it back for you..." Seeing this, Kake reached out to try to keep Gion.
"What are you asking for? This is just a simple exchange of ideas. He rejected me because he was injured. You and I have nothing to do with each other. We are just comrades. Why are you here?" Gion didn't even look at him and left.
This scene made Arthur shake his head, thinking that there are bootlickers in every world.
Arthur stared at Kake who was not convinced. "Why do you have to target me?"
"Gion must have approached you because your performance was unprecedented, bastard!" Kaji cursed at Arthur, "When the World Recruiting Tournament comes, I will make all of you understand that I am the most suitable candidate for her."
"You misunderstood. I don't mean to argue with you!" Arthur looked at Kaji as if he was a sick person.
He generally calls this kind of people hopeless.
