Kylie was extremely curious about Nathan's past.
As she listened to Ivan telling Nathan's past, her face blushed bright red. She was eager and excited. She told him, “Please continue.”
When Ivan saw how excited Kylie was, he misunderstood and thought that she was interested in his past.
Ah, there is a chance! His eyes shined. I have seen many young lasses such as her who admire military men.
He thought to himself. As long as I continue to brag, a fangirl like her would surely have high admiration for me. Hehe... Who knows I might even get laid by her tonight.
He began to blow his own trumpet after having this indecent thought.
“You all heard of Nathan, the General of the North, who was also known as God of War before right?
“And you all certainly think that he is exceptionally powerful as well as being the top soldier among the armies right?" He continued to boast,
“Actually, he is worthless. Those days when we first joined and trained in the army, I was always better than him."He bragged further,
“I even managed to defeat him during the wrestling competition for new recruits. Then, I was crowned as the champion for that competition.”
Upon hearing what Ivan said, Nathan frowned.
Then, he recalled. Indeed this incident did happen!
However, it was different from what Ivan told.
During his tenure as the new recruit, he already trained wholeheartedly and diligently. He went as far as sneaking out from the hostel in the middle of the night to train about marching, wrestling and so forth.
He trained harder than others. On top of that, he was talented. Naturally, his results were also outstanding among the new recruits.
During the wrestling competition for new recruits, he overcame a lot of obstacles and managed to defeat countless competitors.
In the final of the wrestling competition, Ivan who was now standing in front of him was his competitor.
Ivan's strength was just average and thus, Nathan could have beat him easily by default.
However, Nathan took the drink which was mixed with a laxative. As a result, he lost to Ivan in the final competition of wrestling.
