Two months had passed since the Brysver Incident, John has continued his training to become the new Guardian. Though, what he was still learning was the basics, he's passionate about becoming stronger.
A maid approached John, "Your Highness, your instructor has arrived."
John looked at the maid and smiled, "Send him here."
"Yes, Your Highness."
A man who wears a black and gold robe approached him, "It is a pleasure to teach you magic, Your Highness. I am Maverick Mondragon, a professor in the Shyva Magic University."
John bowed down and opened his mouth, "Please, Professor Maverick, teach me magic so I can become stronger."
"Well then, let's start our first lesson?"
"Yes!"

In the forest of Glamouria, a group of people is marching with their leader, Zeff who is in the back making sure there's no one left behind.
Elfie is walking beside Zeff. Elfie opened her mouth, "It's been 2 months since the war, and yet, Shin, Mr. Roger and Ms. Ariel hasn't caught up to us yet."
Zeff patted her head and replied, "They'll catch up to us soon."
Someone shouted, "Zeff, there's a town ahead."
"Let's go." Zeff replied.
They reached the town and tried to enter but a guard stopped them.
"Who are you lot? What business do you have here at C" The guard asked them.
Zeff replied, "We are from the Brysver Village, we are survivors."
"B-Brysver Village? It reported that everyone died there. Hey! Call the Captain! Hurry!"
A guard rushed inside the town.
The guard looked at Zeff and said, "Please wait for a moment until our Captain arrives."
"Thank you." Zeff replied.
The people of Brysver Village is worried that they might get rejected to enter the town.
After a few minutes, a man with an armor approached them.
"These people are from the Brysver Village?" The man said.
"C-captain, yes."
The captain looked at them thoroughly and saw something interesting.
"That.. That's the Shyva's crest your wearing kid. Who gave you that?"
Zeff looked at the clothes Roger gave him. "From Mr. Roger."
"I see. Let them in."
Zeff looked at the captain and opened his mouth, "Are you sure? Are you really going to make some group of people from different races enter your town? We might do something terrible here you know."
The captain looked at them opened his mouth, "I, Kurogi Kawamatsu shall take responsibility about this. And if you do something terrible, I will personally kill all of you." He smiled as he said those words.
Zeff smiled with assurance, "No wonder you were recognized by our father as one of the saviour of the Eleves."
Elfie was surprised and asked Zeff, "Wait! This is the Kurogi Kawamstsu that saved the elves 20 years ago?"
Kurogi looked at them with disbelief, "Zeff? Wait, your that little brat?" Kurogi looked at the guards and said, "You! Come with me, let's escort them to the Chief."

An old man is walking into the forest, as he was wandering, he encountered a huge monster. A bear with crystal on its back.
"You're going to be our food tonight."
The bear attacked the old man but the bear's head suddenly flew away. The old man grabbed the bear and used 'flight' to get to his house.
As he is flying, the 'Devourer' appeared and she talked with the old man. [Hey, Geezer!]
The old man looked at the Devourer, "What?"
The 'Devourer' is sweating as she opened her mouth. [My master... Has awakened.]
~~~~~
In the far far east, there is a 5 year old kid who is traveling alone. Despite of his size and age he is insanely strong. That is Shin Shyva, the kid who has killed a Demon Lord.
Shin was sitting in a stone while thinking something deeply.
"Ugh! What should I do? I want to enter that town but I don't want to create too much attention. Yeah, right! I can just use that..."
Two guards are standing in front of the gate and they saw a man with red armor, a helm that has a hair on its back tied like a ponytail, and a sword on his left side of his waist.
The guards stopped the knight, "Speak your name!"
The knight turned his head on the guards and took something inside the armor. The guards looked at the knight as they raised their guard for possible attack.
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
The knight brought out an Adventurer's Card.
The guards looked at the Card and they was shocked, the card says..
{Name:Crimson}
{Rank: F}
{Age:17}
{Gender: Unknown}
{Recommended: Roger Shyva}
The guards was flabbergasted by what they saw. "Y-you were recommended by the Great Roger Shyva. Yom-you can enter."
The knight entered the town. The knight turned to the guards again and bowed, that's how he shows his gratitude.
The knight then talked, "Thank goodness it worked. Thank you old man Kuro." The red knight was Shyva.
∆Kuro, he is a demi-human, a dwarf that lives in the Mountain of Garganta. They are very good at smithing, wheter it is an armor or a weapon.
This armor is especially made for me when I am older, thank god our house wasn't destroyed.
I never though that there are three people who casted a barrier in our house. Mom used Holy Barrier, Dad Dark Barrier, and I used, Physical and Magical Barrier. To be precise, our house was untouched. Everything was in place so I just took everything that could be useful to me by my 'void'
∆Void, a skill that works like the magic item called 'Magic Bag'. They can store items. However, the amount of item that the magic bag can carry is dependent to the user's magic.
Maybe I should go to the Adventurer's guild first. My current rank is F, well I've never done any job since I'm still a kid.
My Adventurer's card should just be a joke but I never thought that the Miss Allysa created the real one.
∆Allysa, the Receptionist of the Adventurer's guild in Brysver Village.
Hahh.. I often hang out in the adventurer's guild if I'm not practicing. Well, because Miss Allysa is like my older sister, she always takes care of me and she has big.. I wonder what town they are at now?
The Royal Kingdom is North, so they should've headed to the north, and Father's master is on the West. Why did they call him the old man of the west though? Is it because.. Wait.. Ahh, because he is in the in the far west of the Kingdom, it means.. I'm in a different route.
Is there a map in the Adventurer's guild? I really should head there.
~~~~~
"Run?! Why would I just run? Are you underestimating me since I am a kid?" John exclaimed.
Maverick replied with a cold tone, "That's what His Majesty has ordered me. Let's just go to practice."
After 5 minutes of running, John is exhausted.
John looked at Maverick with a smug face, "I'm fast aren't I?"
Maverick looked at John with disappointment. "You've only been running for 5 minutes and your exhausted."
Maverick thought, "Why am I expecting something from a child, he might be Sir Roger's son but he's just spoiled brat."
~~~~~
Shin arrived at the Adventurer's guild but was surprised.
"How is this an adventurer's guild? It's even bigger than our town hall! Damn this society!"
Shin entered the adventurer's guild and what he saw inside is tough guys.
Everyone is looking at Shin but he isn't reacting, he went straight to the receptionist and talked. "Uhmm, excuse me? W-why is everyone looking at me?"
The receptionist replied with a calm tone, "Good Day Adventurer, I am Allyza. It was because you have a daunting aura. They have raised their guards against you."
"Hmm. I see."
"So, are you here to register?"
"Uh, no. I want to ask where is the map of the kingdom here?"
"Ah, the map isn't here, it should be in the town hall."
"I see." Shin turned back but Allyza asked him a question again, "Why are you looking for a map?"
Shin turned his head towards Allyza. And answered her with a proud tone, "I am lost! Hehe"
Allyza thought, "Ahh, this guy is an idiot."
Shin talked again, "Uhmm.. By the way, can I take a quest?"
"Yes, Can I see your Adventurer's card?"
"Ahh, yes." Shin took out the card from inside the armor and gave it to Allyza.
Allyza analyzed and confirmed that it is a real Adventurer's card.
"I see, so you are rank E and.. WHAT?!"
Allyza was shocked by what she saw. "Y-you were recommended by P-Prince Roger?"
Everyone inside the guild looked at one particular person, Shin.
Shin was Panicked as he saw everyone looked at him.
Shin thought, "D-damn, I just said that I don't want to gather attention. I should've just registered first."
Shin looked at Allyza and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"I'm very sorry but, being recommended by Prince Roger is an unbelievable feat."
"Oh, I see. Well then, can I take a quest now?"
"Ah, yes. But, you can only take quests from Rank F to Rank E. And if you are in a team, you can take up to Rank B."
"Isn't that a little too high?"
"Well, if you have atleast Rank A in your team then it should be okay."
"Wouldn't they drag the Rank A?"
Allyza looked at Shin with serious eyes, "You're naïve, if you want to become an adventurer, you must know your limitations."
Shin mumbled, "Naïve?" Shin smirked and looked at Allyza. "Then, give me a Rank A Quest."
"No you can't."
"Why? I can do it."
"If you fail to do the quest, you will pay the prize for the quest, or you will die doing that quest."
Shin fell silent for a moment. Allyza then started to talk again, "Please, take a quest that corresponds to you Rank."
Shin shrugged and looked at Allyza, "Well, you leave me no choice."
Shin released his aura and everyone inside the guild felt a huge pressure. Some of the adventurers are Rank S but even they cannot move.
Shin then talked in a cold voice, "Now then, will you give me a quest that corresponds to my power?"
Suddenly, a sword went to Shin's neck. Shin looked at the person. He was surprised by what he has seen, but the most surprised were the adventurers inside the guild.
The person has white hair, red eyes and a scar on his cheek.
Shin talked, "You're... Crimson."
Crimson talked with killing intent, "You... I heard you used my name, and was recommended by Roger. Who are you?"
"Me? His apprentice."
"He would never take an apprentice. Tell me who you really are, or I might just cut your neck off."
Shin turned his head towards Crimson, "With that stick?"
Crimson looked at his hand and he was already holding a stick. Crimson was surprised and by instinct, he stepped back and raised his guard.
Shin faced Crimson and and talked, "Crimson... I have something to tell you. Can you come with me? After I get a quest."
Allyza was scared she just accepted Shin's offer. Shin got a Rank S quest.
Shin and Crimson is sitting in a cafe. Shin talked, "Crimson."
"What?"
"I was there... In the war between Roger and the Demon Lord."
"W-what?! Wait. Why? What are you doing there?"
"I wanted to save him from his fate. But no matter what method or how hard I try, he will always face the same fate. He will die, saving the next generation."
"W-what? Did he tell you that?" Crimson was surprised by what he is listening.
"No, I learned it myself."
"How?"
"Long story short. Anyway, there's something Roger wanted me to give you. It is a message ball."
A void appeared in the air and Shin grabbed something in there. Crimson was surprised by what he has witnessing. Shin took out a big marble.
Crimson looked at Shin and asked, "W-what is that?"
"A message ball or something I don't know."
Crimson's nervousness disappeared and opened his mouth with a disappointed tone, "That's called 'Marble of Communication'."
"Then why did you asked me what this is?"
"I was talking about that void."
"Oh this? I call 'infinite void'. I was able to make use the space to store the Great Demon Swords."
"G-Great Demon Sword?"
Shin thought, "Shit! I shouldn't talk about the number of GDS that I have."
Shin opened his mouth, "I have the Demon Slayer Sword."
"You're really full of surprises. To think that you even have a demon blood."
"Ehh? How did you know?"
"Great Demon Swords can only be wielded by demons."
"Anyways, why don't you check his message?"
Crimson puts his hand on the ball and applied his mana on it. The ball shone and a figure of a man can be seen on it, it was Roger. However, Shin can't see it.
Roger spoke, "If you're watching this, I should've been dead by now. I made this message during the preparation of the war between a Demon Lord. I still don't know about the information of thia Demon Lord so you can ask my son, his name is Shin. He should be the one who delivered this message. You might not believe it but he might be using some magic to hide his true form. He is the twin of John, the Third Prince. If I am correct, he should be wearing a red armor with a pony tail on his helmet. He might still be a kid but or he might have grown since I don't when will he find you. But, the only thing I can say is, he is strong so I want you to fight him." Then the magic ball broke.
Crimson smiled. "This is a one time use magic item."
Crimson then looked at Shin seriously, "So you are the kid from the prophecy. Shin Shyva, fight me."
