“No way… a child beat Roc?” Bartz said with a widely opened mouth.

“Roc did not obviously go all out. But it was also clear that Sven is skilled,” said Waluf.

“Say Brother, is it normal for… um…” Bartz was trying hard to think up of something.

“It’s not.” Waluf seriously replied.

I was not able to comprehend what they were talking about. I ignored them then I went closer to Roc.

“I have proven my skills. Will you take me with you the next time you go out?” I asked.

“I’ll ask Scalus. If he approves, you may go.” Roc sat on the ground then inspected his wound on the leg.

“I am sorry. I did not mean to.” I bowed.

“It’s part of training. Don’t worry.” Roc then stood up. “I’ll have it treated.”

“You have not met Georgia right? Why don’t you go with him?” Waluf suggested.

I blankly stared at Roc. I was waiting for what he would say.

“Come with me.” He then turned his back on me and began walking.

As I already got his permission, I silently tailed him. Despite the wound, he was able to walk properly. He did not look hurt at all.

After a while, Roc turned and entered a small cave. I followed and inside it was a woman. It must be the one Waluf referred to as Georgia.

“Roc? Is that the smell of blood? What happened?” The woman gently asked as she walked nearer at a sluggish pace.

“I got it in training. It doesn’t hurt much. Treat it just in case,” said Roc as he pointed on his leg.

“Of course, no problem. Let me take a look at it.” She moved her face closer.

She then obtained some dried leaves from a basket. She applied it on the wound, and the leaves stayed stuck on it.

“That should prevent any infection,” said Georgia “Is this the boy Scalus was talking about?”

“Yes.” Roc nodded.

“Hello, my name is Sven. Nice to meet you.” I bowed.

“Hello young boy. Nice to meet you too, I am Georgia. I am the one in charge of handling medicinal herbs around here,” She said.

“You have green eyes and long black hair. You are wearing a long dark dress that is being dragged on the ground. It looked heavy as it seemed to hinder your movement.” I described.

“Oh? What is that all about?” she asked.

“Everyone I met wanted me to describe them. I though you would ask the same.” I answered.

“Well, you are right about that. Thank you for describing me.” Georgia chuckled.

“I am just curious. You have a lot of herbs here. Are all of them medicinal?” I pointed at a bundle of leaves with a red color. 

“Yes, they are. They come from a variety of species, with varying effectiveness on different illnesses and diseases.”

“I see.”

“Thank you for treating me. We will leave now.” Roc said.

“Sure, come back anytime you need anything.” Georgia bade goodbye.

I still tailed Roc as we left. I did not say a word, but the woman was lying. Not all of the herbs there were medicinal.
