Chapter 192 Chapter 192 - Training?

'A wish?' thought Aiden, as he didn't expect such a thing at all.

'What can I even ask for?' he thought, as he tried to find something which would be useful for him.

There was one thing that came to his mind, but he didn't know if it would be possible, and that's why he continued to think about other possibilities.

"So, Isolde what do you want?" asked Thorin once again, as Isolde seemed to be thinking deeply about all of this.

This was just all too sudden for her, so she needed some time to find the best possible answer.

Aiden made sure to listen to her answer as it could maybe inspire him for his decision. However, he knew that there was little chance of that happening because he already had an idea in his mind and it would be hard for him to change it.

"Um, could I ask for... personal training with one of the founding families heads?" said Isolde as she started feeling some pressure on her.

It seemed like she had to answer right now to not waste too much time.

"You want personal training? Isn't that just what we offered to those who are lower-ranked?" asked Thorin, unsure if that was the best possible decision.

"No you offered a fight against one of you, I want training. That's different," said Isolde, this time, with more confidence in her voice.

"Um, I guess it would be possible, but for how long?" asked Thorin, as he knew that if she asked something ridiculous then they would all be quick to shut this demand down.

"One month, I'd like to train with one of you for a month," said Isolde, as she thought that this would be pretty fair.

However, this whole thing still wasn't done, with whom did she want to train?

Will she choose the head of the family that she is a part of, the Valandils or will it be someone else?

That was what everyone was asking themselves right now as Thorin finally opened his mouth to ask that question.

"And who do you want to train with?" asked Thorin.

Then. Isolde made a quick glance beside her toward Aiden, however, she made sure that no one saw her when doing so.

In fact, even Aiden hadn't noticed it.

"I'll choose Melinda since she's also focused on Charm, so I think she will be the best choice for me," said Isolde as she glanced at the head of the Valandis family who didn't look disappointed in the least.

In fact, he looked pleased that he hadn't been chosen to train her.

Melinda on the other hand seemed annoyed.

'Why did it have to be me? I already have that Reaper to take care of,' thought Melinda, frustrated that she would have even more things to care about.

"Alright, your demand will be fulfilled as soon as the tournament ends. In fact, your time will also start when the tournament ends," said Thorin with a smile. "Oh, and Melinda I hope you train her well," added Thorin while winking at her.

He knew that she was annoyed by this whole thing, and he also knew that she wasn't the type to answer in front of everyone which is why he made sure to wink at her, to mock her at the same time.

'Fucking bitch,' insulted Melinda, in her mind, as she kept a smile on her face.

She didn't want to show annoyance to Isolde as it would be somewhat disrespectful. However, she was annoyed by her choice.

"Alright, now it's time for the second place to make his choice, what would it be?" asked Thorin, as the one who got second place slowly advanced.

He didn't seem quite sure of what he could choose as he didn't talk right away, still thinking about what he wanted for the time being.

"What do you want?" repeated Thorin, as he applied pressure onto the person in front of him.

He made sure to apply just enough pressure to make him nervous and want to tell his answer as soon as possible, Thorin was obviously not trying to hurt him at all.

Orik was part of his family, after all.

Why would Thorin try to harm him?

It wouldn't make any sense either way.

"Um, you can refuse if you want," started off Orik, glancing at Thorin or rather staring at him not looking away for a single moment. n//O/)V(.E((l(-b-.I-.n

'Don't tell me it's related to me?' thought Thorin as he could already feel himself being annoyed that he would have to teach someone.

"Alright, go ahead," continued Thorin making it known in his tone that he didn't quite appreciate the attention that he was giving him.

He wasn't like Melinda, after all, Thorin was more of the straightforward type of person.

This meant that it was difficult for him to hide that he wasn't annoyed by this whole thing.

"Alright, so could I maybe... um, become your student for the duration of a month? However, I don't want to learn how to fight, I want to learn how to make better weapons," said Orik, wondering how Thorin would respond.

Orik had, after all, not had many contacts with the one who was called the head of the family. In fact, not many in the family had seen Thorin before today when he finally made an appearance.

In the Ravenwood family, usually, no one would know about Thorin or where he was.

It was like a mystery which had become normal as time passed by.

"You want to train your skills with me for a complete month?" asked Thorin, clearly showing that he wasn't the happiest about this request.

However, if Melinda had said yes to the previous request, then he couldn't refuse this one.

In fact, when he glanced at Melinda, he saw her smile and wink at him. She was clearly trying to get back at him for earlier.

However, she didn't talk out loud like did, she only smiled and winked at him.
