The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Barrick is already 13 years old. Although he is still one year away from the standard of 14 years old for orcs to become adults, his figure, appearance and strength are no less than those of adult orcs. In particular, the skills taught by elder brother Colin in the past six months have given Barrick a sense of pride.

With the expectations of his sister Jenny and the praise of elder brother Colin, Barrick walked into the registration office of the new recruit training camp in the city for the first time on this day.

"Age?" The registration office welcomes every orc who is eager to join the army, but the procedures must be followed.

"13 years old." Barrick replied.

"Well? Although I appreciate your enthusiasm for signing up for the army, we don't want you here before you reach adulthood. Go back and stay for another year, kid." said the orc in charge of registration.

"I'm not a kid, and adults may not be able to beat me. My father is a soldier, and I want to inherit my father's honor as soon as possible. I am already a qualified soldier." Barrick argued.

"Oh? You should know that the rule that only adults can register is actually a protection for you. Once the war in the front is not going well, these new recruits will be needed to go to the front line. At that time, life and death will not be up to you."

"I'm not afraid of death!"

"That won't work either."

"That's right, kid, you should go back to your home and eat milk for a year before coming back." The orcs behind Barrick couldn't wait and said mockingly.

Barrick looked at the orc in charge of registration, and then looked at the other orcs in line behind him, and said: "How about this, if these so-called adults behind can't beat me, can you consider accepting me into the camp?"

"What? This kid is not old, but he is very arrogant. Everyone knows that we orcs are a year older and our strength increases a lot. You, an underage kid, still want to compete with us?" The orcs behind him said unconvinced.

"Shut up, get out of here if you keep making noise. As for you, kid, go back, this is not the place for you now." The orc in charge of registration was a little impatient.

"Just tell me if you dare to compete with me." Barrick also challenged.

"Sir, don't stop me, I have to teach him a lesson."

The orc in charge of registration saw that the situation was already like this, so he stopped trying to persuade him. It was better to let this kid suffer a little, so that no one would want to come to the new recruit camp.

Seeing that there was a good show to watch, the other orcs also stopped and waited for the two orcs to fight.

"Bare-handed or with weapons?" Barrick asked.

"Hey, bare-handed, I'm afraid of hurting you." The pig-headed man behind replied.

"Okay, then come on."

The pig-headed man thought that he could knock Barrick down with a few moves with his own strength, but he didn't expect that the opponent dodged in the first round. The kid is quite flexible.

He cursed and disliked Barrick for dodging him and not daring to fight hard.

When Barrick heard this, he also wanted to test his quality, so he directly fought head-on with the opponent. It should be said that Barrick's physical attributes have improved, but he still lacks in actual combat. Fortunately, the pig-headed man on the opposite side did not have any routines and used brute force.

After the two beasts fought back and forth for several rounds, the pig-headed man was accidentally knocked to the ground by Barrick, and there was a cheer from the orcs.

"The little brat is good, and the pig-headed man on the ground is too cowardly. He can't even beat a little brat."

After the pig-headed man got up, he was a little unconvinced and rushed towards Barrick again, but Barrick, who was getting more and more skilled, knocked him to the ground again in one round.

This time, the pig-headed man took it seriously after getting up, and said, "You just rely on being stronger than me. You must know that we orcs can't go to the battlefield with bare hands. We must use weapons. I don't think what happened just now counts. We need to use weapons to compete again."

"Oh..." The orcs watching the show didn't believe the pig-headed man's words at all.

However, Barrick was going to register for the recruit camp today, so he had to make it clear to the orcs in charge of registration, so he didn't care about the pig-headed man's words. Besides, he would die more miserably if he compared weapons.

"Take out your weapon." Barrick pulled out the iron rod on his back and said.

Seeing this, the pig-headed man didn't dare to underestimate Barrick anymore, and quickly took out the mace. Seeing that Barrick didn't intend to attack first, he rushed over with the mace.

Barrick blocked the mace with one move, then pulled it back, and swung it, hitting the pig-headed man's waist. The force from the iron rod almost made the pig-headed man spasm.

The pig-headed man's fangs trembled slightly in pain. This kid is quite strong.

However, the pig-headed man did not admit defeat. He waved the mace at Barrick again unwillingly. This time Barrick was too lazy to parry. He was the first to attack and knocked him down with a direct poke.

Now, the pig-headed man did not say anything about whether to use weapons or not. After getting up, he turned around and left. He was even more embarrassed to mention the registration of new soldiers.

Goodbye, pig-headed man. Barrick received unanimous praise from the orcs who were watching. The kid was good and was no less than an adult orc.

Seeing this, the orc in charge of registration did not stop Barrick. After registering his basic information, he gave Barrick the first token and asked him to go back and prepare first, and then go directly to the camp for training the next day.

Barrick's fight with the pig-headed man just now was not only seen by these orcs who were watching, but also by two other people.

One of them was of course Colin. After training Barrick for five months, he had to see how good he was. Fortunately, Barrick did not embarrass him.

The other one is naturally Shiro, who has been in the camp for more than four months. He clearly remembers how weak Barrick was before, and how he grew up to be like this in less than half a year. It seems that the nosy "monkey man" taught him.

Alas, it seems that I have to pay more attention in the new recruit camp in the future, and I can't give Barrick the opportunity to do it.

Barrick, who joined the new recruit camp, naturally went home happily. He wanted to tell his sister Jenny and brother Colin the good news.

Colin left early when he saw Barrick's victory. When Barrick came back, Colin had already gone home.

Hearing Barrick's confident words, Colin was very relieved, but more of a feeling that the task should be completed.

Jenny was so happy when she learned that Barrick had joined the new recruit camp. Not to mention cooking a few more dishes, she stayed in the room alone and muttered to herself for a long time.

Barrick certainly couldn't hear what his sister said, but Colin gave up after listening to a few words. It was probably to say to his dead parents that his younger brother had a promising future and what would happen in the future.

Afterwards, the three of them happily finished their dinner and went back to their rooms.

After returning to their rooms, none of them slept. Barrick was thinking more about what would happen after joining the new recruits' camp tomorrow; Jenny was thinking about her own affairs after solving her brother's problems; Colin was thinking about how to use Barrick to explore the new recruits' camp's situation next.
