Kill the Sun

Chapter 130 Chapter 130 – Reynold

\'If my suffering in the nightmare is what produces Zephyx, it means that I have not suffered as much.\'

\'I\'m sure that the Dreamer is still trying its best to squeeze as much suffering as it can out of me, but the drop in Zephyx means that it just can\'t make me suffer as much anymore.\'

Nick released a sigh of relief and let out a tiny smile.

\'Thank you, Julian. You really helped me.\'

But then, Nick shook his head and took a deep breath.

\'That doesn\'t change anything,\' Nick thought. \'What\'s the point of feeling good? I\'m not a slave to my emotions, and I have an actual goal that I want to achieve.\'

\'Suffering.\'

\'Happiness.\'

\'Both are irrelevant.\'

Then, Nick nodded with conviction and dealt with the Zephyx that was produced.

Wyntor said that Reynold had agreed again to train Nick, and he would be here in an hour.

Nick got some food and grabbed his weapons.

He left his spears at home, which made him feel a bit naked, but he still wasn\'t strong enough to wear all of his weapons at once.

At least not as long as his ability wasn\'t active.

With his ability active, carrying all his spears and fist weapons would be like a normal adult carrying about eight to ten kilos on their person.

It wasn\'t nice, but it was definitely manageable.

About ten minutes to three p.m., Nick walked into Dark Dream, and he quickly noticed his new trainer.

Nick already knew that he was called Reynold since Wyntor had mentioned his name.

Reynold was a little bit smaller than Manela, but he seemed double as wide.

While Manela was thin and tall, Reynold was filled with explosive muscle.

However, even though Reynold was quite wide, Nick could easily tell that there was no unnecessary fat on his person.

Just like Manela, Reynold wore the uniform of a Veteran of Kugelblitz.

In a way, that relieved Nick.

Julian had seemed just too powerful for a trainer, and Nick had felt like he was wasting Julian\'s time.

As Reynold talked to Wyntor, his boisterous, casual, and friendly voice echoed throughout Dark Dream.

His voice was very deep, and he laughed a lot.

"Well, we\'ll see about that!" Reynold said to Wyntor with a boisterous laugh.

Nick could hear Reynold from over five meters away.

"Oh, Nick, my boy!" Reynold shouted with an excited smile. "You came at just the right time. I was just making a bet with Wyntor about when you will crack under my tough training!"

Wyntor was smiling, but Nick could tell that he was a bit uncomfortable with the loud and dominant presence of Reynold.

"A bet?" Nick repeated as his eyes glazed over.

\'A bet?\'

\'A wager?\'

Nick felt like he had forgotten something important, but he quickly shook his head to regain his bearings.

Getting distracted in front of his new teacher wouldn\'t leave a good impression.

"Oh?" Nick said as he approached Reynold. "What do you two think?"

"I have full trust in you," Wyntor said.

Nick smiled a little.

"Ahahaha! Good! Good!" Reynold shouted as he loudly clapped in his hands a couple of times. "True companionship and trust. I love it!"

"But we can\'t just ignore the facts," Reynold added with a smirk as he bumped Nick\'s shoulder with his fist.

Nick didn\'t rub his shoulder, but he was in quite a bit of pain.

However, he could tell that Reynold genuinely didn\'t mean it.

He was just careless and was living in the moment.

"I\'ll say you won\'t get to the tenth day," Reynold said with a smirk. "Sorry, Nick, my boy, but that\'s just genuinely what I think. You\'re just 16, and you still need to experience a couple of setbacks to truly attain the grit to put your everything into your goal."

Nick raised an eyebrow.

In a way, he was a bit insulted by Reynold\'s words, but he could also tell that Reynold wasn\'t trying to put Nick down.

He was just very confident.

"So, you agree? Ten days of training?" Wyntor asked.

Reynold looked at Wyntor with a smirk. "Aren\'t you greedy? Yes, I agree!"

The next moment, Reynold and Wyntor shook hands.

"You\'re about to lose a lot of money and dignity, Little Wyntor," Reynold shouted happily with a laugh.

However, there was also a smirk on Wyntor\'s face.

"Nick," he said, making Nick look at him, "could you please tell your new teacher about your other teacher?"

At that moment, Reynold became quiet and looked at Wyntor with a serious and evaluating gaze.

Nick was taken aback by how quickly Reynold\'s demeanor had changed.

Just now, he had seemed like someone who went out to party all the time with the boys, but now, he felt like a serious and reliable warrior.

\'Sure enough, Extractors that can get into Kugelblitz are outstanding,\' Nick thought before answering.

"Manela," Nick said, looking at Reynold.

Reynold blinked a couple of times.

"Which one?" he asked with a slightly nervous voice.

"What do you mean, which one?" Wyntor said with a confident chuckle. "There\'s only one Manela."

Reynold took a deep breath as he looked at Nick differently.

"And you managed to get through four days of training under Manela?" he asked.

Nick nodded. "Her training is amazing. I would have never thought I would learn so much in just four days."

Reynold grabbed his hair with two of his hands and looked up in a melodramatic pose of tragedy.

"And yet again, I fell victim to my own confidence," he said before taking a deep breath.

Then, he loudly laughed again. "Well done! Well done! You managed to pull one over me, Little Wyntor," Reynold said to him. "Seems like you will get some free training out of me."

Wyntor just smiled. "Thank you."

Reynold chuckled a bit and shook his head.

"I was sure that the other teacher would be William. To think that you managed to convince Manela."

Then, Reynold sighed.
