The seven horse riders chased the lone brown horse, dust rising behind them.
The brown horse was ridden by a young man with pale skin and long black hair that flew in the wind. He wore a long-sleeved white tunic beneath a red sleeveless coat and dark trousers. A sword rested at his waist, and several bags were strapped to the horse, filled with supplies.
The brown horse began to slow.
The riders pursuing him quickly caught up, overtook him, and stopped a few meters ahead. They turned their horses around, blocking his path.
Among the seven horsemen, one stepped forward. His horse came to a halt, snorted, and shook its head.
"Hey, kid—why are you running from us?"
The young rider frowned, clearly annoyed.
"What? I'm not the one running from you; you're the ones chasing me."
The man smiled with closed eyes.
"Ahh… I see. So, you knew we were chasing you from the start?"
He let out a soft chuckle.
"Then why didn't you stop earlier? Because of you, our horses are exhausted. And in this scorching sun, we've lost quite a bit of energy."
He leaned forward slightly, his tone turning sharper.
"So… why don't you pay for what you've done?"
"Huh… are you stupid, or are you acting stupid? Why should I pay for something you caused? Did I tell you to follow me?"
One of the men behind him let out a slight laugh, covering his mouth. The man opened his eyes and stared at him. That man quickly controlled his laughter after seeing that stare and bowed his head in fear.
Then he looked at the young man again.
"See… I'm not going to talk anymore. Surrender the things that you have here and get out of my sight, or else you will lose your hands, and I will slice your tongue and throw it in the forest. Do you want that?"
The young man looked at all of them.
"So, you are the guys who fill your fat bellies with the things of other people."
Their bellies jiggled as they moved. The man in the front got angry.
"You bastard… do you want to fight with us? Do you think you can beat us?"
The young man smiled.
"Hmm, I didn't object to a fight… if my cap… cap… fellow accepts it."
That man looked around him. He didn't see anyone, but then he noticed an empty black horse behind them. The horse let out a breath.
"Whose horse is this? Did you guys see anyone on that horse?"
"Hey, you idiots, look above you."
Everyone looked at the sky. There was a person shining in the light of the sun. Then he landed on the ground. Every horse stepped back the moment he landed.
He had a pale face with short yellow hair. He wore a black long-sleeved tunic with a grey sleeveless coat over it.
He raised his head and stepped forward. Everyone stepped back. He went near the front man. The front man thought that the young man was coming to his side, so he moved his hand to his waist to take his sword.
But the young man ignored him.
"Hey… you bastard."
The young man turned and placed his ring finger on his mouth, telling the front man to be quiet.
*Shhh*
"You…"
Then that young man turned back and moved the side of his teammate.
Then he crab the collar of the young man in the brown horse, and pull him down.
Then he whispered to him.
"Hey ren you intentionally spoiled my perfect entry right"
[Ren is name of young man in the brown horse]
Then Ren answered him with annoyed face.
"When did I spoil your entry"
He questioned ren with rough tone
"I just asked you to call me leader or captain and you accepted it"
"But what fellow doing their"
Ren answered him
"When did I accept it"
"I only accept to join this adventure"
"I didn't accept you as a captain or leader"
"don't imagine your own thoughts"
He slightly makes a smile and begins to make a deal
"So, you decided not to call me as a captain"
"Then I have an idea"
"It's a deal"
"Whoever take down a most men standing there they want to do what winner says"
Ren also smiled and accepted the deal
"Hmm it's a nice deal"
"So, if I win this you win this you can do what I say right"
"Then I win this deal, and make you shut your mouth for a week"
While they doing a conversation the man who is in pain still screaming.
The leader of the group get anger, he tightens his teeth and make a grip in his sword, then he turned around and see them
He gets annoyed by those two making a conversation with smile on the face.
He gets angry and shout them.
"Hey you bastard, if you want to fight just fight, why you guys making a silly conversation"
They both stare the leader of the horseman and make a smile.
Ren get down from his horse.
And now they both ready to fight.
The members in the opposite side also ready to fight.
They all get down from their horses
They started to move forward to fight.
Suddenly the ally of ren shows a stop sign.
They got confused.
And he started to search something on his pocket.
"Where… where… where... ahh it's here."
He takes some silver coin his pocket
"See you guys I going to toss the coin, and when the coin hit the ground, we want to start to fight ok."
The leader of the group tightens his sword and make a smile and replied him.
"Do whatever you want"

"This will be the last time; you are able toss the coin"
The ally of ren make a smile and replied to him.
"You going to take my hand"
"Interesting, hey ren you can take down whoever you want"
"But leave this man to me, I like it's guts "
Ren replied him
"Do whatever you want, my only aim is to take down four guys"
"Hoo you are serious in the deal"
"Then let's start"
He tosses the coin
That coin slowly moves upward by swinging.
And slowly move downwards.

Him and his member all of them started to step forward with screaming.
"Ahhhhhh"
The leader in lead to take ren and his ally down.
They flashed in front of him.
When they near the leader of the group.
He raised his sword to swing.
But they both ignored him and go fight with his group members.
They both start their fight with group members.
While ren seriously fighting with two members, his ally playing by escaping and bending from two-man attack.
The two members fighting begin make a joint attack for ren, but ren escape by bending and sliced two of them.
Ren see the side of his ally and get annoyed by for he is just playing and escaping from two-man.
Then he sees the side of the leader of the Group, he annoyed and smiles.
The he takes a long breath
"He is a complete idiot"
"Hey... Anthur it's two for two now"
[his ally's name is Anthur]
Anthur replied
"What it's now two for two"
Then Anthur stopped playing and escaping
Anthur suddenly make an attack, the two man and the sword, that belongs to them leave their hand and hit the ground.
Anthur make an annoyed smile at them.
"Why the hell are you smiling"
"Because you take down two of us"
"Our leader was strong as hell; he will take you two down at once"
Anthur takes a deep breath and put his sword on his shoulder he started to talk.
"You trust your leader that level"
"But the one who I sliced after the coin dropped the ground was, is your le…ader"
They both see the side of the leader
He was kneeling in the ground.
After the coin hit the ground, while Anthur pass the leader of the group he sliced him, even the leader didn't know that he was sliced in that moment.
They both got scared after see their leader get defeated by Anthur.
Anthur warned them.
"See you bastards"
"We didn't kill anyone here"
"We only make several injuries to them"
Anthur tone changed
"If you guys interfere again, without thinking I will take your heads"
"Now take them and run"
The two of them take their comrades and put them on their horses and they move away.
"Hey ren our first fight in this adventure finished smoothly"
"Yes"-ren replied
"At the same time, you forget the deal right"
Anthur literally forget the deal during the fight
"Deal…"
He suddenly remembers the deal.
"Ahhhhhhhh"
"Why can't you tell this during the fight"
Ren smiles and calls his horse

Kira sniffed and step forward to ren.
