Chapter 283: Eve of Adventure
The weird space-time anomaly didn’t last longer than a few moments. The nature of the anomaly made it seem like it went on for much longer than it actually did, but once things returned to normal, everyone realized it had only been a few heartbeats. Reivyn turned to his sparring partner and gave a quick, shallow bow to the man.
“Thank you for the spar, but it’s time for us to head out,” Reivyn said.
“Sure, no problem,” the man replied. “If you want to continue in the future, you can find me here most early afternoons after lunch.”
“Thanks.”
Reivyn signaled to his father and Teilon. The other two nodded and the three of them replaced their borrowed practice gear.
“It will take a little time for them to get cleaned up,” Refix said. “Let’s take our time on the way back.”
“So would now be a good time to grab a quick drink?” Teilon piped up. “After what I just went through, I could really use one.”
Reivyn observed his friend. Teilon was pale and sweaty, much sweatier than the physical exercise he had gone through accounted for. True to his word, Refix had found him a sparring partner that used a variety of poisons.
Teilon didn’t have a very high Poison Resistance Skill, though, so his opponent only used some mildly uncomfortable concoctions during their match. Reivyn didn’t know exactly what the poisons did, but he could tell his friend was mostly just feeling terrible and not hurt or missing a lot of Health Points.
