Chenglei nodded, his stern frown softened to a smile.
”Of course. Come in, I sent the students away as soon you told me of their arrival.” He suggested to the knights that are crawling all over the village, slightly glaring at them. Then he slid the door open for both the Isa and Kenren before going inside last. Shutting and locking it from behind and instructing Isa to go straight down the hallway.
By the end, he reached an empty oriental room. Sliding wooden doors mimicking the paper doors of the past with tatami mats on the elevated floor. Separating the cement and cobbled floor the trio were standing on. “Take off your shoes.” Chenglei softly reminded, watching the redhead teen quietly take his boots off and placing them on the ground before taking a step into the training area. Then he let out a big sigh, covering his face as he took a deep breath.
”I officially hate that guy.” Isa muttered, causing Chenglei to raise a brow as he helped Kenren take off his shoes— he just wanted to.
“Oh? What happened?”
”Just...just casual threats to the safety of my friend after questioning and force-offering me to join his faction with nonsense like riches and women and a house—— I could. Care. Less-!!” He growled at the end before hiccuping and taking deep breaths. Chenglei looked at Kenren, worried for the redhead.
”Isa . . . Hold on-! I’ll be right back.” Chenglei quickly kicked his own sandals off and ran deeper into the hallways. The pair in The dojo can hear a clatter of metals banging each other as the redhead plopped down on the tatami mat. Still breathing in and out hard.
