(My world...It has always been so dark...Fighting with everyone every day. While waiting for mother to come back from her job. Being treated rudely because I belonged to the red light district and then everyone wants to come up to you and bully you. It's just the worst feeling. I felt bad...Bad because mother had to use her body to even keep me in middle school.)
"You feel guilty, than why did you decide to fight with that bunch? You could have easily persuaded them just like you did with your new father."
A smirk.
(That's because...I don't know. I felt like...Listening wrong things about my mother...Made me angry...)
"That is not true, your father called your mother so many different bad things and he even called her whore once. Remember when you were forced into doing your new father's bidding, he even said that you are as good as your whore mother."
(That is...)
"Be truthful to yourself, it wasn't because you were angry and cared for your mother. It was because you felt humiliated, humiliated because you were born as the son of a prostitute."
(That isn't...True...)
Naota's eyes open up slowly. "That isn't true..." Naota says as he raises his arm to catch the falling leaf.
"Oi sleepy head wake up already." Tia says to Naota as Naota gets up.
"Today is your lucky day, show me how much strength you have developed in the last 7 days of our training." Tia says to Naota. Tia turns her neck around. "If you pass then I will give you shelter, food and new clothing." Tia smiles at Naota.
(That's right it's been 7 days now since I have been training with Tia. It's only been 7 days but it feels like it has been so long...)
"Let's see how many trees you can break Takaki Naota with just a single punch." Before Tia could even complete her sentence Naota begins to make his way towards the tree in front of him.
(There are 12 trees in a straight line...)
Naota slides his left leg behind.
The whole ground begins to shake.
(This is a move I unlocked yesterday because training with Tia in the last 7 days gave me a huge boost of experience.)
Blue aura begins to gather around Naota's right hand which he hold near his waist while he keeps a palm in front of the tree.
"No way...." Wind begins to blow with force. Tia is unfazed by the energy created but rather she is fazed by Naota's attack.
"Ranged Palm Punch." Naota says calmfully as he smashes right through all the 12 trees in a straight line creating a straight but a simple hole in the trees.
"Holy...Shit..." Tia looks surprised. "When did you learn that move? That move doesn't even come in my style of fighting and if you had that move why didn't you use it against Skar?!" Tia seems to be questioning Naota.
(Now, now, I can't just tell her that I actually have experience bar and skill trees)
"Anyways, don't use it recklessly, it's a powerful move but it can also hit someone near and dear to you if they are within the blast radius." Tia says to Naota. Naota nods. "Understood."
"For now, you pass, so let's go. I will lead you to my house." Tia says to Naota. Naota nods.
Naota and Tia reach a small shack near the edge of the forest. Naota looks around and looks at all the dead creatures.
(So this is where all the creatures disappeared huh? Tsch! She tells me to survive but she was going to be the reason for my death if I had figured out that I needed to eat leaves to survive.)
Its night; Naota and Tia are making food. It's beginning to snow and Naota seems to be freezing. Tia sighs. Tia gets up and goes inside the shack. She comes out and gives Naota a leather coat. "Thanks." Naota says to Tia.
"Snow...its beautiful isn't it?" Tia asks Naota. "I don't know, I never stayed in a part where it snows, so I have no idea that what snow feels like but I would have loved to go to Hokkaido where it's cold as hell during winters." Naota gives a sad smile. "Hokkaido? What's that?" Tia asks Naota. "I am not actually from this world...You see I am soul and body reincarnation. I have kept my soul, memories and body from my previous life and have been reincarnated into this world." Naota replies to Tia's question.
"I see..." Tia looks at the sky. "You know, I have been wondering for the last 7 days that we have been training...Why do you really seek to be strong? It isn't because you are weak or want to protect and I know it because I see it in your eyes...Your clinging onto something...Something horrible from your past maybe." Tia says.
"I was...Born as the son of a prostitute...My mother...She cherished me till the very last day and in the end...I ended up protecting her but at what cost...I gave my life away...But there is no guarantee that my mother would be alright after I died..." Naota clenches his fist. "So when I saw Rochel smiling even in the toughest situation possible just like mother...I have no choice but to rescue her...As for Adana, I made a promise to someone to protect her at any cost and if I am not even half as strong as you are there is no hope for me to save them...That is why I intend to be strong...Stronger than anyone can ever think of, strong enough to stand high and mighty and even protect you and everyone around me." Naota says.
"M-me..." Tia looks away. "I don't need protection but it is nice of you to say that..." Tia says with a smile.
"Tia...I promise...I will...I will rescue them and I will rescue the city of Bluemoon from that tyrant..." Naota says with determination.
(His a kind one eh? I can see...Why father was so interested in him.)
12 days have passed since Tia started training Naota,
At Vidora,
King's palace,
A messenger has arrived,
"Sae, we got a message." The messenger says to the king.
"And that would be?" The king asks. "It's from the city of Bluemoon, the city lord of Bluemoon is getting married to two beautiful ladies." The messenger replies. "Oh I see, I see, I guess it's my time to get ready for the special occasion."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
