“The first time I came to see you, David sent me. I wanted to join his group because I thought they were cool and since I just arrived in our school, I wanted to make friends that would be fun to be around with. He told me that if I wanted to walk with them, I should do something that would hurt you. But when I saw you that day, eating tranquilly with a dirty uniform filled with shoes’ marks and dirt on your body. I…”
“You felt pity. That’s why I am saying-”“No, listen. It is true and I admit it, that day and even after that, I felt pity towards you and I thought it was stupid so I went to see David about it. That’s when he started trying to flirt with me. But as time went by and I was talking with you, I realized it. You were actually the coolest guy I ever met, maybe even cooler than my father.”Sarah places her hands on her chest now and smiles warmly, gently, sincerely. What she is about to say must be“Orah!! Orah!! Orah!!” The first, the second, the third and the fourth stance all connect, sending the guy up the air. I greet him with the fifth stance as his burning body falls towards me. But unexpectedly, he kicks my foot and we are both pushed back.It seems the effect of Sarah’s skill has stopped. The commander lands away and immediately, a gust of wind sweeps his body and extinguishes the flames that caught him. I will need to give him a good strike with lightning.“This guy, I can barely see him. How are you fighting against such an opponent?” Sarah comes next to me and brandishes her sword against the commander.“Just focus on the sounds he makes. There is a sound similar to a knife scratching against a wall when he moves really fast. Put all your focus on that. ““Okay, got it.”“Redirecting priority.” The commander takes the same posture and launches his attack with aggres
“You should dodge that.” Warren warns me as he moves to the side but I take the first stance and receive the guy by blocking his spear’s thrust. The shock makes my body vibrates. That was a very powerful attack. Still, if he is charcoal, then I am the fire that will set him ablaze. But I wonder…“Why did you fall so low?”What happened to the over-confident guy who always walk with pride, as if the world was his to do as he sees fit. Now, what I have in front of me looks nothing like what I remembered of god’ favorite.“Ahhh!!”David pushes even further with his spear and I am slowly gliding on the ground because of the strength he is applying.“David, stop!! Have you forgotten what happened to the others?!!” Hm…apparently, this skill is dangerous.By shifting my body to the side, I deflect David’s spear then kicks it to break the embered weapon. As it breaks, Da
It has been three days since we left the city. Over the time, I am getting used to eat without salt. Though I can feel that I am not at hundred percent of my strength because of this.The only other problem I have is Oriana.“Come on, even today, you will sleep on a tree.”“Yeah. Now, just shut up and sleep.”Ever since we left the city, she has been so clingy that I can’t stay less than two meters away from her. I wonder what is happening with her.“Fufufu.” As always, Warren just laughs at the scene and continue polishing his sword. He has been doing that for two days now and you can’t even see the rust on it anymore. Though it still doesn’t look too sharp.“Warren, I have waiting to ask you about this. This sword. Where does it come from? Why did it rust? And how come there is an emerald-colored part on it?”“That’s a lot of questions. You were really wai
WILL OTUN POV: When the sun rises, Oriana isn’t to my side like when I fell but right on top of me. Curiously, she doesn’t smell much. We have been bathing in rivers without soap or anything until now so I thought our body odor would be really strong but surely, they must be used to it. “Hmmm…Are you up?” She caresses my face and to my own astonishment, I don’t react like usual. I thought I would lose control but I surprisingly don’t. “Yeah. Can you get off me now?” “As I thought, that girl did something to you. You don’t seem interested in me anymore.” “I was never interested to begin with, Oriana.” But maybe you are right. It’s true that since that day, I don’t feel that much bothered by the ‘heightened senses’ curse. But still, it wouldn’t be good to stay like this. I push her to the side and stand up, only to see three bodies on the floor near us. “Assassins?” Those guys are wearing black masks and hoods. I
After crying for almost ten minutes, I think my heart has settled down, the oppressive feeling on my chest is gone. Now, I am only tired. I want to sleep. My eyes hurt. My whole body hurts. I am resting on Emilia’s laps and they are surprisingly comfy. I wonder if mine are the same. Will never accepted to rest on them… That idiot.“Emilia, I am sorry. I really wanted to come to your wedding.”“Oh, don’t worry. We had it rescheduled.”“Eh?!!” I raise my head and she is smiling like nothing is wrong with what she said. “Why?!”“Because there two certain idiots who couldn’t even come.”“Two?” Wait, for sure, I am the first. But who is the se…Looking at Telestal, I get an answer to my question without asking it. “Will is a wanted criminal and surely, he will be killed sooner or later. Don’t you think you made a mistake?” What am I e
SARAH CAMPBELL POV:After Emilia and Telestal leave, I finally feel sleepy. My eyes are really heavy and before I know it, everything goes dark.When I open my eyes back, I am not in my room anymore. I am in front of a castle that is completely devastated. What could have happened here?“What is this place?”“Come inside, chosen child.” A woman’s voice which sounds really sad resounds in side my head.“What the!! Who is there!!” I look around but there is no one here. The gates of the castle are the only things that seem to be making a sound here.What is happening? Seriously, what is this place?!!“Don’t be afraid. Just come inside.” That voice resounds inside my head again. What is all this? Did I take a drug or something before sleeping?“Oh, that idiot…” I can only think of one thing, the weird thing that Will gave me. It must be what is causing
“L…let me think about it.”“Okay, when you will be ready, I will be in the hall of the Valkyries.”“Okay. By the way, I forgot to ask for your name.”“Oh, yeah, that’s true. I am the Valkyrie of power. But when it is just us two, you can call me Rota.”“Okay, thanks, Rota. I will see you later.”“No problem.”Rota leaves and immediately, I check my status window.[Sarah CampbellAge: 16 years oldTitle: The heir of the wind.Mana points: 99999 pts (199 pts/s)Class: Cleric.Title characteristics:+ Using the dance of the wind increases the strength of your attacks by 60%+ A layer of wind constantly protects you.

WILL OTUN POV:Another day, another group of mercenaries on our tail. As soon as we woke up this morning, we have been attacked by a group of people who were pretty desperate. Their gears weren’t good yet they were attacking as if they had the best armor of the world. Out of the seven who attacked, I scorched three without killing them, thankfully.Though, I wonder…“Why are you healing them now?” Oriana is currently healing them. That’s something she didn’t do until now. Does she know them somehow.“They are pitiful souls that couldn’t think any better. I believe they deserve at least my compassion for they cannot easily choose anything else to do.”“I see.” A likewise soul then. Well, she did went through something similar as well so.“Warren, are you sure that the demon king is going to invade the frontier?”“Yeah, I have no doubts. Especially afte
