Kimoto Haikye was a regular high school kid before he unleashed his power. He didn't know about his family heritage before the incident at the magic school. A lot of the time he felt alone, he never really understood people he was surrounded by every day. Although he was the most unpopular kid, he was the most athletic student, as well as being one of the sons of the famous blacksmith, Touto Haikye.
Kimoto was walking home with his older brother, Hiroshi Haikye. When suddenly a girl ran out of an alleyway in front of them. She stumbled after every step, a pool of blood was trailed behind her. As well as a large man dressed in black with a mask on, he also wielded a knife drenched in the young girls blood. Hiroshi softly murmured to Kimoto,
"Take the girl and get to our house"
Kimoto nodded, and pulled the girl by her arm around the corner, however, Hiroshi stayed back, a horrible green glow came from the street.
Kimoto nervously awaited Hiroshi's return, he paced through the house. By this time the girl had fainted and was lying on a sofa in the front room. He walked by her and tended to her wounds. He heard a loud bang at the door and swiftly made his way to the door. He opened the door cautiously
"Hey now",
Hiroshi said, Kimoto sighed, and smugly replied,
"Took your time",
They both chuckled, but Hiroshi gained a nervous but serious look, and added,
"So, how's the girl, she was bleeding quite a -"
Kimoto cut Hiroshi's speech and pointed towards the sofa.
"I bandaged her the best I could, but she fainted, the cuts quite mean looking, maybe you should help clean her up."
Kimoto walked over to the counter and pulled draws out until he found a first aid pack.
"Here it comes!"
Kimoto threw the pack at Hiroshi,
"Thanks,"
Kimoto walked into the forge, he shouted out to Hiroshi,
"I'm going to try to make something, need to get what happened off my mind."
Hiroshi chuckled,
"Have a go, remember what father said,"
Kimoto worked tirelessly that day to make something he could call his creation, Kimoto had never really created anything to be proud of before. However today was to be different, after working for hours in the forge, he fell asleep leaving the weapon he was creating to cool. While he was fast asleep a yellow rune mark appeared across the blade of the sword, it illuminated the room and others around it. Wildlife outside scurried away as it saw the closing light.
"KIMOTO!!"
Kimoto woke, banging his head on the iron above him,
"You made this!!"
Touto exclaimed, Kimoto never really saw his father this excited so he was confused, he nervously said,
"Made what?"
He looked around but his eyes were fixed upon the blade in the water, his eyes illuminated with excitement he jumped around like a little boy.
"I made something! I really made it!"
Touto picked it up, he was amazed, he began to wave it around although the blade looked lifeless until Kimoto laid his hand across it. As soon as he did the blade lit up, a magnificent yellow colour flooded across the blade.
"Woah! What the hell is this!?"
Kimoto exclaimed, his mouth was on the floor, his eyes were fixed on the blade. He stepped back while reaching the sword out, he screamed,
"WHY IS IT YELLOW?"
Touto looked at the blade mesmerised, he then quickly snapped out of it and realised that the blade was magic. He then surprisingly looked at Kimoto instead of being absorbed by the blade.
"Well done son, you made it, you're a part of the Haikye Mages."
Kimotos face was speechless, he didn't know what his own father was talking about. He gave his father a crazy look,
"Mages?! You've kept this a secret for how long?!"
Hiroshi walked into the room,
"I know it sounds crazy, but it's true, even I am one."
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Hiroshi added.
"And now what then, are you going to enrol me at an academy for Mages? Or are you going to kill me?"
Kimoto said nervously, backing his self into the corner gripping his sword by his side.
"Of course not! Well don't tell anyone about it, but you will have to attend Shiratorizawa magic school, it will all be fine your brother, Hiroshi attends it."
Touto softly added, he patted Kimoto on the back and pushed him into the middle of the room.
"Well, you still need to name your sword"
Kimoto thought to himself, he looked down at the sword, he looked up,
"Kasei, yeah I think I'll call it that."
Days past and it was Kimotos first day at Shiratorizawa, he dressed in his school uniform, while having his newly made sword, Kasei sheathed on his back. On his way to school, he saw the girl again, he awkwardly waved across the street, she came running over,
"KIMOTO! Kimoto!"
By this time she was right next to him,
"Kimoto thanks for everyone back then, you and your brother were really a life saver,"
He just smiled and asked,
"I never got your name, what was it?"
She smiled back and shyly said,
"Katrya Yuziho"
He placed out his hand, but she went straight for the hug, he just accepted it and laughed.
Across that week, Kimoto made many friends, some were better than others, but still all friends. He also began to see Katrya more often, it was plainly obvious that they were both in love with each other but they were scared to show it. Until one day Hiroshi forced Kimoto to ask her out. From then on Katrya was often only seen a Kimotos house, though Touto warned him about letting a girl in so quickly.
The next day, both Katrya and Kimoto were walking down a street to get to her school, when three thugs jumped out on them each one held a knife, they gave Kimoto and Katrya two choices, either to die or to give them everything that they had.
Kimoto looked at Katyra and nodded,
"Just give them everything"
They both began to chuck everything they had to the ground and began to take small, slow steps back. One of the thugs groaned,
"Don't you leave now! We are just starting to have fun!"
Kimoto guarded Katrya, by placing her behind him, he smiled,
"Don't come closer, this is a warning.."
The three thugs chuckled they began to run at him, placing their knives in front of them to hit him, Kimotos eyes grew a yellow tint to them, he had a very sadistic smile on him. The first thug closest to him plunged his knife at Kimoto, but it wasn't successful, Kimoto grabbed the man's hand and twisted it backwards, causing it to snap. Kimoto sighed,
"Do you really think you can challenge me?"
He began to have fits of laughter. Seeing this an opportunity, one of the thugs went for Katrya who was exposed, she could do nothing. Kimoto suddenly began to stop laughing, he turned his head and saw his girlfriend on the floor agonisingly bleeding to death. A tear rolled down his face, all around him, an aura of yellowness started to grow. Kimoto remembered back to one of the lessons he was present in, and he screamed out,
"EXPEL"
The aura grew until it reached the two remaining thugs who were petrified and frozen with fear. They were flung across the street into a lamppost, Kimoto fell onto his knees, he was uncontrollably crying. He realised that a siren was closing in, he looked around him at horrified citizens next to him,
"Murderer! He killed her!"
The citizens shrieked with fear around him, he realized that the police must be coming to capture him, he had no option but to run. He kissed Katrya on the lips and stood. Under his breath, he softly mumbled,
"I love you."
He ran off into an alleyway, while tears rolled down his face.
