Kevin was very excited, while he will be doing his stretching and workout hour he will watch Erik and give Axel some advice later on, so Erik will be able to progress faster.
Kevin preferred to remain discreet and when he got near the gymnasium, he put his hood over his head and with the help of the fighters who were all a little bit taller and beefier than him, he entered without nobody notices him, well … Almost nobody.
As soon as he entered the gymnasium, Axel immediately smelt his scent and searched for him as usual, and like most of the time he had to wait until Kevin chose to be spotted to find him.
He saw him come out of nowhere, there was no one here before but the next second he appeared, he absolutely had to ask him how he was doing that, and he also saw him remove his hood and walk towards him with a dashing smile on his face.
Axel smiled back to him and Erik who had seen the change in his behavior then noticed Kevin and exclaimed surprised : "Since when Kevin has been here, I haven't seen him arrive ..."
Axel patted him on the shoulder and said : "If my man doesn't want you to see him then you won't be able see him, you better get used to it and quickly."
Erik didn't understand what Axel meant by that but he didn't have time to ask him for an explanation because Kevin was already there.
Kevin hugged Axel and after greeting Erik he asked him : "Did Alan bring you back my necklace ?"
Erik scratched his head a little embarrassed and said : "Not yet, when I went to join Axel he was already meditating so he should join us soon now."
Kevin said to him with a smile : "Great, I have a question for him about using the spiritual energy while crafting a potion.
I wish to increase my crafting speed but I'm not sure if it's possible and I'm afraid to do something stupid and ruin it."
Erik then told him something that surprised him : "It's a shame, if your question was about the ingredients for a potion, I could have help you.
I'm unbeatable, I know all the magical herbs and all the different bloods or other fluids you need to make them.
But when it comes to spiritual energy and meditation, unfortunately I can't help you."
Kevin then asked him curiously : "How do you know all this, Axel has no idea about these things."
Erik grinned and said to him : "Axel never tried to seduce a mage so he never needed this knowledge.
But for me to seduce Alan all the means were good, and on top of that it really brought us closer so I didn't regret spending hours in the library learning all of this."
He looked quickly at Axel who was raising his eyebrows and he said hastily : "It was Sunday, during my hours of rest, I promise."
Kevin laughed and said : "Alan is lucky to have you, now you have to get powerful enough to be able to protect him."
Erik looked at him puzzled and said : "Kevin, I think you have no idea how powerful a mage can be, and Alan is the most powerful mage in the Sun Sect. Even though I can work hard day and night, I will never come close to him in terms of power."
Kevin looked at Axel to see if Erik was exaggerating but Axel then said to him : "Alan is the only one who has ever been able to beat me and his spells are formidable, he has mastered the fire and the wind elements and believe me his attacks are breathtaking."
Kevin couldn't believe it : "Too cool ! But Erik don't worry, with Axel we're going to help you to get stronger."
Kevin looked at Axel and said to him : "I will watch him while I do my hour of stretching and workout, and I will let you know later."
This time it was Erik who looked at Axel feeling a little lost, Axel decided to show him rather than try to convince him that Kevin was the best instructor he could dream of having.
Axel then asked Kevin : "Babe, do you mind fighting him so that he will understand what he can learn from you, but take it easy, he still have to be able to practice afterwards."
Kevin stretched and replied : "With pleasure, let's me see why you have chosen him, it's gonna be fun !"
Erik scratched his head, not understanding the situation, and how could a fight be fun : "Axel, you shouldn't say that to me instead, I'm the fighter, how do you want Kevin to stand a chance against me."
Axel replied with a smirk : "That's why you have to fight him or else you will never believe me.
But don't worry though, you won't be able to hurt him so give your best if you don't want to finish to the infirmary."
Erik was speechless and Axel wasted no more time and chose to give them both a 1 meter wooden stick which was used for training to prevent them from injuring themselves with weapons.
Kevin smiled and put his hood over his head, it was a habit he had always had, it had always confused his opponents to not being able to see his face, so even though Erik wasn't his enemy, a fight was a fight.
Axel gave his last warning to Erik : "Erik you better not underestimate him, and babe don't forget what I just told you."
Neither Kevin or Erik answered him. Erik finally looked like he was taking this fight seriously and as for Kevin, the only thing he could see on his face was that creepy smile he always had before he fought.
A crowd had just gathered around them forming a large circle to give them enough space to fight, they all seemed intrigued by this fight and it was then Axel gave the order : "Fight !"
Kevin suspected that Erik would let him attack first, so he decided to test his reflexes, his speed, and whether he was able to learn during a fight.
To do this he didn't give him a minute of respite and he did the same movements several times to see if Erik could find any parries, and he was pleasantly surprised to see that Axel was right and that he had a very good potential.
Now, whether he will be able to use his full potential, it was yet to be determined, he was sure that Axel had no idea of Erik's true hidden talent.
