Antagonist:Am I a villain?

"I am Fred, the head of the 6th battalion and the deputy governer of the northern region of the city." The middle aged man now known as Fred said to Lin as he put his sword back in its sheath and forwarded his hand for a handshake. Lin looked at Fred's hand for a while and looked at his eyes seeing no hint of deception Lin took his hand as they both did a firm handshake as Lin said to him "I am Lin Ji, A traveler."

"Strange! A traveler but no identity card. Isn't it is strange?" Fred said with a smile but his eyes held a hint of suspicion. "I used to live in the forest for my entire life up until yesterday when I left for adventure" Lin lied through his teeth and because of his stoic face Fred accepted Lin's words after looking at his face for a while but still held a hint of suspicion and vigilance.

"A boy raised in the forest but has already reached the late stages of fifth rank. I am very surprised by your talent Mr. Lin" Fred said as he felt Lin's strength through the handshake and was dumbfounded as he was in his mid 40s but only just at middle stage of 4th rank. "Only Lin can suffice" Lin said as he took back his hand as he felt Fred snooping around to find out his strength.

Fred just smiled at this as he said "Follow me let's get you a fresh identity card." Lin followed Fred to a office inside the wall. The guard which was sitting on the seat of the Office stood up and gave a standard military salute to Fred as he saw him and Fred said to him "Bring out the identification machine".

The guard brought the machine and placed it at the desk as Fred turned towards Lin behind him and said "put a drop of your blood on the machine". Lin noded as he went forward and before the guard could give him a pin Lin bit his thumb and dropped several drop of his blood on the machine before the wound healed. Fred was surprised by Lin's action of biting his thumb to draw blood but didn't say anything and just watched.

The machine absorbed and scanned Lin's blood as Lin put his personal details as a new identity card was produced.

[Name:Lin Ji

Age:17 (It is what his body looks like currently)

Rank:late stage Fifth rank

Profession:Traveller]

Lin looked at the identity card as he placed it in his pocket. Fred took Lin and entered the gate into the city. Lin was amazed by the beauty and craftsmanship of the buildings infront of him but as always his face was non-expressive.
