Brothers: A Tale of a Bird and a Son

Chapter 6

"What do you mean we won?" Tommy asks as he was drinking water at the Red Inn with his party mate.

"Turn out if we succeed to kill that Snow Giant we would have won. Every other group kinda got beaten down. Don't worry they're still alive just hurt." Techno explained.

"Nothing a little cure wound, healing potions, and a lot of rest can't fix," Aizawa commented

"We win anything?" Tommy asks as he sat his wooden cup down.

"That's what Wilbur doing now. Splitting it evenly since you know...we're going our separate ways." Techno pointed at the next table over where Wilbur was counting the coins with his blue dragon by his side. "He wouldn't let me do it because he knows I'll rob you two blind." The pink-haired man then added with a smile.

"I meant what I said I'm coming with you two."

"Tommy." Aizawa tries to argue.

"I'm being serious Aizawa. I want to explore. Know the world more. See things. Meet new people."

"And get yourself killed?"

"I'll try to not get killed out there."

"Said the boy that almost dies twice in the tournament." Aizawa sighs as he drank out from his cup.

"Though I would love to hear you two saying the same shit back and forth at each other. I may have to step in." Techno spoke up.

"I'm still pissed that you let a child make a deal with you." Aizawa glared at the half-elf.

"Just be lucky I didn't immediately kill him."

"Techno..." Tommy muttered. "Your not making a good case for yourself."

Techno sighs softly rubbing the bridge of his nose. "I'm just being honest since I'm the only one that seems to be doing that. Instead of dancing around the matter." He then glares at Aizawa.

"I have my reasons to not tell a stranger about everything I went through." His teacher shrugs.

"Yet you get mad or upset when I say you're a half-elf, which you look like one."

"And I keep telling you I'm not comfortable telling you my race, and you refuse to accept that."

"Because it makes me feel like you don't trust me."

"And your right, I don't. Now drop it before I make you Mr.Blade." Aizawa sat his cup down as Techno sighs softly.

Wilbur soon walks over to the group with two bags full of coins. "Five hundred in each bag, counted them myself." He chuckles handing the bag over to Tommy and another to Techno before sitting down at the table. "While we're on the subject of our group. I believe we are making progress by saying what makes up uncomfortable."

"So what's the difference between a sorcerer and you know, a wizard?" Tommy then asks.

"Well..." Wilbur started before thinking for a moment. "Think of it like this way. Aizawa study long and hard to perform spells and magic to do. Meanwhile, I can do all of that without studying. But I have to adapt with the things I've been givin'. "

"So you can't study magic?"

"It's more like, the longer I grow more curious about it, the more I know in my way. Like how some people get better at art the more they practice it. You know?"

Tommy slowly nods. "Okay, It's like learn from the experience?"

"Exactly!"

"Speaking about ability. Mind telling me what this kid is?" Techno then asks.
