"What do you mean you have a plan?" I asked. "Our mission is to protect the princess, correct?" "Yes...?" "Reid's mission is to kill the princess, right?" "Yes...?" "The missions aren't very specific." "I suppose." "First of all, I'm pretty sure the mission is to kill the person named 'Lucia Ourania', this means her status as princess is irrelevant. Second of all, I've deduced that Reid does not know what she looks like, from observing him, there is a good chance that Reid's mission is worded differently from ours." "Wait, so you're saying that their might be a way for us both to complete our missions?" "Not exactly, I'm basing it off the idea that neither of our sides know what the reward is, meaning, all we need to do is make it seem like Reid has completed his side of the mission." "How do we do that? Are we going to have someone pretend to be the princess?" "Based off his actions, I'm assuming his mission is not as straight forward as 'kill Princess Lucia'. He's been her
We trained until late into the night. "Honestly, you're improving much faster than I expected." "Thanks, I guess." "Still, I can't rid the image of Rin from my head when I look at you." "I wish I knew what I was like back then, from the way you talk about him, he sounds like some really cool dude." "Really cool dude doesn't even cut it, you were the greatest human to ever roam the earth." "Come to think of it, how did I even die if I was so great, did I die of old age or something?" "I honestly don't know, but I did hear news of your death when I was only seventeen, so something very drastic must have happened." "Oh." It was getting rather dark. The blistering sounds of crickets in the ground was intensifying, the number of mosquitoes and other annoying insects were also increasing. This was a pretty evocative signal that the training session was about to near its end. "We'll train again tomorrow morning. I'm going to have to make you into a decent fighting force before Reid
He gestured for me to make the first move. I decided to take some of my learnings from earlier. I rushed straight towards him, getting up close and personal. Then I dropped my shoulder, baiting out his swing. I managed to see the tiny movement of his arm and deciphered the movement of the blade. In the tiny amount of time I had in between, I began unleashing my form. "Universal Sword, First Form, Unstable Curre-" Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. What happened? I was carefully observing all of his movements, he couldn't have possibly hit me. I fell back a few steps and regained my composure. "Don't forget that the opponent will also have abilities just like you, don't rush in unless you know what they are." Ah, that made sense. I had completely forgotten that Alfonso had powers. Based on what I saw, it seemed that first of all, his power was able to deal blunt force damaged to my stomach. It didn't look like it needed and arm or body movements and it was able to be ac
"Huh? Where am I?" "Alister." In the bright blue open space, Alister sat, facing a goddess of the after world. "What is this place?" "This is the afterlife." "Wait, I'm dead?" "Yes." The memories of his death sudden flushed back into his head. After a moment of despair, his mind was swiftly cleared and replaced with the unyielding apathy that plagued all of the outcomes. "I assumed you've just remembered." She said. "Yes." "Now, you know Rin Takamiya correct?" "Yes, I know him relatively well." "You will be reincarnated in this new world where he is also staying, however, he doesn't have his memories, unlike you." The outcome are known for embracing change. "I see." "Just follow along with his mission and support him as well as you can." "Is that all?" "For the most part." After a little more explanation about the situation and circumstances with Freya, the portal was opened, leading to the new world. "Please do well and support him as much as you can, I'm counting
"Yahoo!" What was this? I thought I was dead. "Hey, you alright there? You look like a zombie." Huh? Someone's speaking to me? "Ritsu~" They're calling my name? Light gradually flooded into my eyes. I looked around myself, it was like I was sitting on a still pond. The ground seemed weirdly blue with no shades or effects of light.
I managed to regain consciousness after that weird ray of light.I looked around, it was definitely a forest. There were thick rows with hundreds of trees, I was sitting on the dirt beside one of them. The trees were all eerily thin, but their number was enough for the forest to seem very dense.It was pretty dark as the trees were all unusually bushy at the tops.Is there where I'm going to die for the second time?Beside me were the sword and the book that the goddess had given me.I might as well find out how to use this sword of mine...I grabbed the thin boo
I could feel the adrenaline pumping through my body. I had felt something like this before, actually many times before. It was a feeling quite familiar to me.All of my concentration was focused on the aggressor's movements.Suddenly, I noticed that he was lowering his staff towards me, instinctively, I moved my head to the side. The front of his staff flashed white before crystal formed and was shot out from his staff piercing the trees behind me."Ah!"The girl screamed as several trees collapsed after being smashed by the crystal.That was close.The entire area suddenly
"Ritsu.""Ritsu."I felt someone tugging against my shirt. Slowly I opened my eyes, adjusting to the bright light. My body was still pretty sore when I tried to move around but it was significantly better than before."Huh?" I said with a yawn."How long are you going to keep sleeping for?"Oh."I'll get up now."Celestia was sitting on a stump from one of the trees beside me."It's getting pretty late, do you have somewhere to stay?" The girl asked me.
