The World is Full of Adventure, and Halyna is Ready

Chapter 5. Friend's apple.

In a place where a boy and a girl were preparing to start a fight that was about to begin. Stones were moved to a hill not far from the villages, the boy drew his sword from behind his back to prepare to fight the girl. The sound of the wind blowing through the hill, attacking both of them preparing for the fight, as if accompanied by the presence of the supernatural that lurked around them. Kevin, with his sword, attacked Halyna to prove that Halyna was worthy to join this long adventure.

He attacked Halyna with a movement like a feather, and aimed his sword at Halyna. However, unlike what he expected, Halyna, with a graceful movement, dodged Kevin's sword attack by stepping to the left and backing away smoothly to prepare for the next attack. Impressed by this, he said,

"You're not bad, where did you learn that?"

Halyna smiled and replied, "You know, besides magic, Aunt V taught me this move to avoid that attack."

"Ham, interesting, Aunt V taught you that kind of move," Kevin said with a fighting stance.

"Even though you've learned this move, you still won't be able to beat me, remember that."

Hearing that, Halyna replied, "We'll see later, who will lose here." With determination in her voice, Halyna also took a fighting stance, ready to fight Kevin.

Halyna and Kevin fought again after their previous fighting stance. Kevin, confidently believing he would defeat Halyna, attacked her with his sword, aiming at her body, sure that his attack this time would defeat Halyna. Unfortunately, he was wrong again, Halyna, as if it had been planned, avoided Kevin's attack on the right side of the sword, thinking that Halyna would avoid it again as before, Kevin moved his sword to the right to attack Halyna like that. But once again he was wrong, Halyna suddenly attacked Kevin with a punch from her own hand that didn't miss because his sword was to the right.

After receiving the punch from Halyna, Kevin was pushed back two steps by the force of the punch, which felt strong. In this fight, Kevin realized that Halyna's attack was so devastating. So, as if they had agreed, in this duel, whoever made the first attack would be the loser, as proven in their clash, where Halyna managed to defeat Kevin with her clever trick. Because she knew Kevin would go towards his sword to the right, because Kevin learned from his previous mistake. But ironically, Halyna managed to turn Kevin's advantage into a weakness to defeat him in the fight, from him learning from his mistakes, which caused him to lose.

After Kevin's defeat by Halyna, they both sat together under a tree where they had previously fought, feeling a calm and peaceful atmosphere. They enjoyed the view of the villages together from the hill, feeling its beauty, while relaxing after the tiring fight. After some time relaxing under the tree, they finally started talking like two brothers.

"Huu..! This fight was fun," said Kevin.

"But before we continue our adventure together, there's one question."

"Question? What else do you want to ask?"

"A question about the motivation behind this adventure."

With a little confusion, Halyna asked, "What, motivation? It's clear, isn't it, my motivation is to find my father who has been missing since I was born."

"I know, but that's not what I mean."

"So, what do you mean?" Halyna said, while Kevin, with a slight smile, said,

"Halyna, about your mother, you have a mother, right, but oddly you're looking for your father who made him leave your mother... You still love your mother, don't you?"

Hearing the question, Halyna replied casually, but her face looked sad.

"It's not like that, I still love my mother."
