Dante was holding a wooden sword, his body being neutral and stanceless, while Geralt was gripping the hilt of his sword.
All of the members of the Wolven school were present in watching as both of them weren't moving, neither of them was taking the initiative in attacking.
"Fight!"
Geralt slowly moved forward as the opponent was waiting, then diagonally hacked towards Dante but was met with a block. His widened as he felt vibrations coursing through his sword. "That's a nice technique you got there..."
"Heh, there's more to that coming," Dante smirked and then pushed Geralt, throwing him very far. "Oops, I forgot this isn't within the 12 universes."
The teenager only muttered, but still smirked as he held his hand upwards and taunted Geralt, "Come here, bitch."
The witcher didn't bit the bait and kept calm as he stretched his hand, "Hmph!" using 'Aard' and blew everything away, especially the wooden debris, but not Dante whose clothes were just fluttering.
"Ha? You call that a push? Try this!" Dante opened his palm and blasted literally everything away, including the massive wall the keep had. The spectators could only gasp and widen their eyes in disbelief. But if the people would look closely on Vesemirs face, they could see small tears falling from his eyes. 'So much for returning the favor, I hope quest money covers that up...'
"Amazing! To think a kid his age would be able to beat a witcher like Geralt!" Eskel exclaimed and grabbed his head in awe, but Lambert only shook his head.
"As powerful as that boy could be, Geralt's still standing."
It was true, they could see Geralt standing, albeit far and panting, covered by a golden transparent barrier. The witcher then opened his pouch and took a loaf of bread and bit it, a few seconds in and he was fine.
"W-What the hell? What kind of logic is that!?" The space traveler was dumbfounded by what he saw. Geralt was panting profusely a second ago but recovered after eating a single bread. "Damn, why don't I have that kind of ability?"
The witcher just shrugged and ran towards his opponent and tried to hack the abdominal area but was shocked as Dante suddenly disappeared from his view. 'What? Impossible!'
"Haaa... come on, let's get serious already..."
Geralt turned around to see Dante yawning on a nearby rock, "You can teleport?"
Dante nodded and stood up, gripping his wooden sword with both of his hands, "Yeah, but I wasn't teleporting,"
He disappeared and suddenly, Geralt felt a sword against his neck.
"This is my real speed." Dante grinned as he sneezed, "Now who the fuck's talking about me?"
The witcher just sighed and released his sword, "It's an honor to be defeated by someone as strong as you." making the teenager laugh while scratching his head. "Embarrassed?"
"No, not really. I just don't receive compliments that much so it's new to me." Dante replied "Back at my universe, my teachers would find this fight as boring, they think destroying planets are enjoyable...", he then looked towards Ciri's direction, to which of course was noticed by the old man and Geralt.
He then went to them and grinned, "Hey guys... H-Hi old-man..."
He could see Vesemir's face that had the look of, 'Why?', he laughed sheepishly. "Sorry old-man, I'mma make it up to you!"
"Anyways, don't be depressed. I'll go hunt and be the one to cook tonight!" Dante exclaimed expecting a clap and cheer in return.
"Ah?"
"You?"
"You know how to cook?"
"E-Excuse me?" Dante sweatdropped as looked at Ciri, "Don't tell me, you too?" only to get a snob in return. "How rude, and I thought we were friends."
"We are, I just don't think you can cook. How many months has it been? We've never seen you cook, or help. I did the cleaning every week and you? Heh! So much for being friends!" Ciri pouted and looked away, earning her a laugh from everyone, which made pout even more.
Amused, Dante caressed her cheeks and smiled, "How 'bout I help you with cleaning from now on then?"
"*ahem* and the cooking also..." "The hunting too..." Lambert and Eskel grinned at each other and nodded, but whistled away when Vesemir glared at them.
"Haha! How about I hunt, cook, do the dishes, and clean the keep every now and then to make things fair? It's the least I can do for now." Dante laughed as he Lamber and Eskel yelled 'YES' earning them a sigh from Vesemir.
"We'll do just that for the remaining month." Vesemir nodded and folded his arms, everyone seemed to agree aside from Ciri and Dante who were confused.
"A month? What do you mean?"
The old-man scratched his head, "Ah! I knew there was something I forgot," laughing sheepishly, "We witchers normally head out of the keep for missions every after winter, we delayed since we've got Ciri to take care of, and then you happened. You know, that portal stuff. However, since you're here, for the time being, Me, Geralt, Lambert, and Eskel are going out for missions. You know, we need to support ourselves and rebuild Kaer Morhen."
Dante dazed off a bit then nodded in understanding, feeling bad about, "I get it... sorry hehe"
"Alright, how about you go hunting for now? We're all starving anyway." Geralt said as he was dusting himself. "There's been a lot of animals outside nearby, most aren't hiding since winter's long gone."
"Mm, will do," Dante nodded and walked directly without notice. "I'll be back."
"Wait!"
The raven-haired was stopped by Ciri's yell, "Aren't you gonna take me with you? What kind of friend are you to forget about me."
Dante just smiled and nodded yes, while the others just chuckled at Ciri's antics.
"Young love..." Vesemir muttered while Geralt just smiled and shook his head.
XXXXXXXXXX
"I'm so boreddd..."
"How about I play with you, Lord Zeno?"
"You're boring, I want to play with Dante-chan!" Zeno was sitting on his throne sloppily as an angel was trying to satisfy his wants. "Dante-chan's so dumb, he disappears without telling his best friend." Zeno pouted.
The angel could only smile in wry, 'You'll be the death of everyone, Lord Dante...'
