It's the same dream. A baby in a crib and is hearing loud noises. What is causing those loud and piercing cries? What exactly is happening. And then, the same man, who has something red and thick trickling down his face is looking down at the baby in the crib. He was muttering something, but it was being muffled by the loud claps of thunder because of the storm outside. The man who has circular eyeglasses then placed a necklace around the neck of the baby and he then softly touched the face of this baby and then left the room by closing the door shut. A few more thunderous noises came outside and red light flashed through the holes of the door. Then, it went silent. Only the pouring rain can be heard and the flashes of lightning can be seen through the shattered windows. With one final shot of thunder, this blond boy woke up and opened his eyes that has the same color of the skies. He was sweating buckets and is breathing heavily again. The same dream, the same reaction. That dream is
The fight started with the winner already in the minds of the people around. Based on the stances, the brown-haired guy is the one showing how it’s really done. Kendrick on the other hand is just holding his sword near his stomach with both hands holding on the hilt. In other words, his stance is all over the place. The brown-haired dude was grinning as his win is already sealed,“Just raise your sword and admit defeat. It won’t hurt your reputation in swords as it’s already tarnished.” Says the brown-haired boy.Kendrick smirked,“Well, my reputation may be tarnished already, but I do want to pass this subject, even though I’m a complete dumbass in swordsmanship.” Kendrick answered as he then charged at his opponent.He swung his sword down at the opponent, but the brown-haired guy whose name is Eric blocked it and then parried it by shifting his grip over his sword. Eric then went to swing his sword sideways, aiming for the left ribs of Kendrick, but Kendrick saw right through his t
5 days have passed since the incident and is now the for the burial of the 6 people who died in the battle. Kendrick is now standing in front of the graves of his family as they are being lowered beneath them. There were a lot of people who attended the interment of his family. And most of them are normal people that is saying their respects for the priest. But some of them made Kendrick’s blood boil. Because some of those who attended were the people who shunned Father Edgar and was the sole reason why the church closed. The ones who stole the donations for the church and used it for their own gain. They blamed it all to Father Edgar, that’s why as punishment, the government shut the church down and labeled Father Edgar as a corrupt priest. It just makes Kendrick’s skin crawl by the fact that they had the nerve to show up in front of the man they betrayed and tarnished. But he must stay calm as he doesn’t want to make it worse since confronting them is not what Father Edgar wants. As
Meanwhile, in the school clinic. Vincent is now laid on the bed and was resting. Next to him is the Philips twins, and the girl he saved is still unconscious. The nurse asked Champ to leave since he still has a class to attend to, Champ agreed and left the room. The nurse then grabbed a clean wet cloth to clean Vincent’s wound. And when she was about to dab it on him, she realized that there are no wounds. It’s just blood. She put her hand on his chest and closed her eyes.“Weird… He received a hundred and fifty blows from Norman, and yet no broken bones nor no wounds, just blood. “ says the nurse.Jamie who is sitting besides her sister stood up and looked at Vincent.The nurse and Jamie exchanged confused looks. The nurse continued on cleaning the blood. She put the bloody cloth on the sink and sat besides Vincent to check if there really was no injuries.“Exhaustion. Norman knocked him out cold so it is normal he is asleep. But, Norman also told me that this kid is full of wounds f
The whole swordsmen and women community got immediately alerted as some have confirmed that there is something weird going on in the academy. And another is that the students have not been evacuated yet, instead, the school has gone into lockdown which prevents the students from leaving. And even if they can, it is too dangerous as shady people are now in that academy. Kendra was worrying about her mother, but the swordsmen and women have prevented them and ordered them to not follow as it is for their safety also. They have been exposed to battle last time, and the swordsmen and women won’t let it happen again. This time, they will be the ones to fight this battle to save the others. And besides, the commander pointed out that the two aces of this group of students are too tired and the other was injured to even turn his body properly, so, it would be best for them to just stay put for now and wait for further instructions. Thousands of sword users are now heading towards the academy
Kendrick is now being operated in a medical tent at the eastern borders. Since the city is under a total lockdown, even hospitals are closed. And it was a good thing that some swordsmen and women are experts in medical works, that is why Kendrick is having a successful operation. Meanwhile, Sylvester is being questioned for their action, as they literally violated a law when they went out the walls without having a slayer license. The punishment for that law breaking act of them would be 15 years in prison, or even execution at worst. However, since Sylvester told them that they had no choice but to go around to survive, the others just let this one slide and asked everybody in this area to keep their mouths shut about this matter. But still, everyone is just surprised to see those 2 inexperienced students successfully without getting themselves killed at the first place. Because even the pros do not dare to go out there as outside the walls is just way out of their leagues. Only the
The next morning, the two went up and go their way to the east. Since they chose to stay the night because of exhaustion, it is already morning. But the thing is, it is morning, yes, but the surroundings was just dark enough to be considered as night. The two walked their way, and as they walk, they just have their guards up. Kendrick on the other hand is clearly struggling to keep his guard up due to the pain of his injury. He caught a fever last night and his injuries are just in unimaginable pain because of the coldness of the surroundings. Kendrick fees like being stabbed multiple times, and the blade have pain enhancers. In any case, he forced himself and will not let Sylvester know about this.Meanwhile, the battle at the east is now over, swordsmen and women are now resting after defeating almost all the demons inside, but some escaped and went into hiding. However, even though it is already finished, the other superiors are not letting anyone to go away as an attack is very po
“You really are crazy beyond words and normal comprehension, Griffin!” Sylvester replied.As the plan of Kendrick is not only absurd and reckless, but it is also impossible since they are still students. And they won’t even last a minute out there. But Kendrick made Sylvester choose between being eaten alive or not giving up and try every idea they have to survive.“Besides. It is only a kilometer away from the eastern gates so—”“Only?! Are you out of your mind? Out there, we won’t survive, our experience is too low, we won’t make it!” Sylvester pointed out.But it was no use on arguing with Kendrick, especially when he just made up his mind. However, the plan is just plain stupidity, and only a dumb person would do such thing, and Kendrick is one of them. Because who the hell would go out the walls without the proper experience. Only slayers have been out the walls for a certain amount of time, but this time is different. Being out there means they are just literally speeding up the
