Waiter from Nowhere

Chapter 15: Fated Encounter



We arrived at the courtyard.

"I Jacob, Prince of the wolfman. I'll be the referee and witness this duel. The conditions of both parties will be effective after the match result". Jacob said.

After Jacob said that me and JR went to the sparring ring on their courtyard. Jacob raised his hand and said "Start the fight".

JR activates his fire element and throws a fireball on me and rushes towards me and swung his sword.

My thoughts of his actions "It's too slow to hit me with this fire ball. I can predict his movements. Should I punch him in the chin? He has openings unlike some monsters that I personally know".(He is referring to his master).

I dodge his sword. And I punched him in the chin with all of my might and flew out of the sparring ring. Jacob checks JR but he is unconscious.

Jacob said with a happy tone "Match end. The winner of this match is Grey".

Everyone was shocked by this outcome. Of course me too. I just punched him in his chin. I can't believe that I had a combat power that can equal a gift user. I was remembering the hell of my training before arriving in this dungeon.

I think the master knew this would happen so he trained me to increase my combat capabilities.

Silver ran up to me and said "How did you do that? How can you be strong enough to win against a gift user?" she happily asked me.

I replied "I don't know. I think it's because of my daily training and I read some books about martial arts".

Silver replied "Still playing innocent huh? But congratulations on your win you have a servant for five years".

Jacob said "I believed in you Jay. I know that you can win against him".

I replied "I saw your face and you were shocked too. Don't lie to me".

Jacob replied "Ah! You've got me. I was shocked and curious at the same time. Your body says you're training so hard. So I want to see what you've been training for yourself".

I replied "What if I lose? I would come back to our world and the compensation about this expedition would be gone".

Jacob laughed and said "So you're still thinking about the money? How classic Jay it is. I remember when we first met. I tipped you a million dollars and saw your dumb face".

I replied "Yeah I remember that". And we both laughed about it.

Jacob said to all of us "Bring him in the ward to get treated by our doctor".

The wolfman medics bring JR to the doctor and after that we visit the King of the Wolfman, King Labra.

We arrived at the throne and there he is King Labra. His presence now had so much difference when we first met.

Jacob shouts "Greetings King Labra, I, Jacob, Prince of the Wolfman complete my task to escort our guest to the palace".

I'm getting nervous. It's like this is the real hierarchy in this world. He's a king of course we should be humble and formal.

Jacob continues "Here's the representative of the humans and one of them is my friend, Zero. It is fine to call you Zero because we're best friends right?"

I nodded at him nervously because I don't want any attention. I'm feeling sick right now because of the situation.

King Labra spoke "Jay, we've met at the human realm. We welcome you here and please enjoy your stay in our Kingdom"

I, the fool, instinctively bow down and I'm on my knees like I see in the movies and say "Yes your majesty, we are blessed with your presence and we will humbly enjoy our stay in your kingdom".

After I said that, King Labra laughed so hard that he burst tears in his eyes and Jacob was laughing so hard too.

"Father I told you. It was funny!" Jacob said while laughing.

"I thought it would be funny but I'm surprised in his actions and script too" Long Labra replied while laughing and wiping his tears.

I'm on my knees like a dummy and the confusion in my face makes it funnier for them. Baldwin starts to laugh and eventually the remaining representatives laugh too.

"I'm sorry, Zero. This was a joke that my father and I planned" Jacob said while still laughing.

"I'm really sorry for this Jay. This is Jacob's idea. Because he thought you would be anxious for the new environment that you'll be living in".

I was still silent and I'm on my knees. I tackled Jacob saying "What did you do that for? It was embarrassing you know?".

I wrestled him and started punching him and he was still laughing hard. After that I calm down and talk seriously and I'm really mad for the embarrassing moment that Jacob and King Labra planned.

I asked King Labra "Where are we staying?"

King Labra tries to hold his laugh while answering me "I-in th-this" but after he said that the Queen punched him in the face and almost got knocked out.

"I'm really sorry for this prank Jay. My husband and my son were immature and I'm going to punish them for that right honey?"

King Labra nodded and the Queen continued to say "You and the rest of the representatives will be living here in the palace".

All of the representatives were shocked and happy at the same time. I replied to the Queen "Thank you for your hospitality but I prefer to live in the town. I humbly reject your hospitality and thank you for that".

King Labra stood up and said "What a peculiar being. We offered you to live comfortably but you chose to struggle. I like it. When I was young"

But the Queen interrupted King Labra before he talked about his glory days again "Okay Jay, I will prepare a house for you as soon as possible".

She added "Jacob you should guide them to our dining area to fill their stomachs. Give them our best dish in our kingdom".

Jacob replied "Yes mom, I will guide them".

After that we were dismissed by the King and Jacob, guide us to the dining area of the palace to eat.

It was like a royal dining area. We were amazed by this dining area. We sat down and we had a few talks about it.

Miguel said "This is the first time I thought I was in a fantasy movie. This palace was amazing and this dining area was awesome!"

Baldwin replied "If you see the dragon palace. You'll be fainted when you go there".

Miguel replied "Wow! So you've been there?".

Baldwin replied "Of course, we were invited by King Hermos when we went to this place. I was shocked because they can use the human language".

Silver replied "Oh! They already know our language? How come they know our language?".

Baldwin replied "Their ancestors teach them. It was passed down through generations".

Silver replied "That's new knowledge for me! That's great!".

Jacob also joined the conversation and said "Yeah you're right Baldwin, compared to the dragon palace this is like one percent of that place. It's beautiful and huge".

"Wonder if I can go to that place too?" I thought I was talking to myself but I said it out loud.

Jacob and others look at me and Jacob replied "Of course you will be invited to their palace someday. I know you can go there. You're special".

"Nah man, forget it. I just wanna learn and have fun in this world" I replied.

After that conversations. The food has finally arrived. The aroma, the looks of the food was extraordinary. It was wonderful.

Winter said "How can I ruin this beautiful gourmet?".

Angela replies "Just take a photo like this". She grabbed her cellphone and took a photo of the food.

Baldwin said "You've got your cellphones on you Angela?"

Angela replied "Of course. For the memories of my life here".

Baldwin sighed and asked "Who else did they bring their cellphones?".

After he asked that everybody raise their hand. Baldwin sigh again.

Baldwin said "Dory please get their cellphones for me. I don't want any trouble for them later".

Dory stood up and tried to take away Angela's cellphone but Angela made a tantrum about it and said "I don't want to!".

Baldwin sighed again and said "So what happens when it gets a low battery? Where did you plan to charge it?".

Everyone who has a cellphone was shocked and Angela asked "They have electricity right?".

Baldwin replied "They don't have it".

All the representatives were shocked and we all think that we are a fool for not thinking about that later.

Jacob laughed so hard and said "Don't make a face like that guys. We have electricity right now. We developed it with the help of humans".

Everyone was back on their feet. And Baldwin proceeded to confiscate our cellphones but because of the majority disagree he chose not to take it.

Baldwin said "Okay you can keep it but you can't show them".

Angela said "Why? Jacob saw it".

Jacob replied "Yeah I saw it but I can't even use it"

Jacob continues "Just don't show to other wolfmen. They would be curious about it and you will be no rest. I promise".

After that conversation we eat and Jacob guides them to their rooms. While they're gone. I decided to go to the pub that the beautiful female wolfman owned.
