My Name is Zirah Kaihua a Beginner Martial Master and Apprentice Leader of the 9th Apprentice Squad at the Rank 4 Sect Blossom Fist it is situated North-West from the Thousand Leaf Origin Forest and South-East from the Kaiju Sovereign City of Gezaro which is ruled by Ermilio Gezaro a branch Prince of the Gezaro Kingdom.
My mission today was to keep an eye on the sect Venom Light, it is a poison based Rank 4 Subsect of the Hyiraro rank 3 sect. The Venom Light sect Martial Ancestor, Venom Light is a man who made a name for himself 50 years ago when he fought and beat Martial Grandmaster, Grand Knight Arch Light and to keep a memory for honoring his enemy Arch Light, he named himself and his poison based sect Venom Light, after 20 years the Hyiraro Sect allianced and made the Venom Light sect a subdivision of the Hyiraro sect, after that Venom Light left the sect leaving it in the hands of the Hyiraro sect.
Sadly two days into my mission, I encountered an apprentice named Yan Duye an Advanced Martial Master of the Venom Light sect and his two Martial brothers. it seems that they found out about me even though I used Closed Sight pendant a Martial Master artifact which hides my Aura from anyone under the Martial Grandmaster rank, it seems they somehow found me by using an item of the Martial Grandmaster rank, at the moment she was being chased she heard screams coming her way, the only reason she managed to get as far as she did was because of the artifact she got when she became an Apprentice Leader called Achilles Lesser Boots which increase speed to match that of advanced Martial Master
Yan Duye:"You cant get away from us miss Zirah!"
Yan Duye looks like a bulky idiotic guy but, even though he looks like a bulky idiotic guy. the people that manage to become Martial Artist are no such idiots they require actual intelligence to succeed at what they do, as such even though Yan Duye looks like a big idiot, he is actually a smart guy that has accomplished many dangerous feats for his sect.
Yan Duy:"The Blossom Fist Sect won't be able to save you today. Miss Zirah, if you come with us, I promise not to kill you!"
Zirah thought to herself even if Yan Duye doesn't kill her there is no guaranty that the two Martial Brothers besides him won't kill her, so she said
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
Zirah Kaihua:"Sure as long as you stop trying to kill me I won't mind stopping and talking with you!"
With that Zirah took out a Magic class, Martial Apprentice Snake shaped smoke bomb and released it, it automatically flew toward Yan Duye. Yan Duye becoming alarmed tried cutting it, but right when his sword came into contact with the snake it exploded and a thick magical smoke got released which obstructed his view
Yan Duye:"Damn it! how did she manage to get a magic class item, they don't even sell it in the Kaiju Sovereign City, maybe it was those bastards from the Magic Might Guild"
Zirah did not buy it from the rival Magic Might Guild of Venom Light, but she bought it from one of her fellow Apprentice leaders called, Fiora Vellhart, ranked second among the Apprentice Leaders she is also Apprentice Leader of the second squad and a Martial Grandmaster to boot.
Infront of Zirah was The Thousand Origin Forest named such because no one knows where it and the magical beast within it came from, it appeared three thousand years ago out of nowhere and since then been there. Zirah felt a strong Qi aura burst coming from there a short while ago, so she didn't hesitate to go there even though it might be a stronger monster at least it was better than those people from Venom Light who might torture her for information, what she found was something entirely different
What Zirah found was a young man, he looks seventeen years old with a set of gray colored common apprentice clothes, his looks were kind and a bit above average, with no visible scars on his face. In short, he was the only option she had, as such, she dashed towards him she screamed
Zirah:"Senior Martial Brother please help me I am being chased by ruffians, who want to steal my items if you help me I can promise you riches and rewards at the Martial Master stage."
The young man in front of her who had the dazed look disappeared, a gallant and steely looks of a Martial Artist appeared, for a second she got awed and forgot what was happening before she could make any comments
Shiro:"Junior Martial Sister please do not worry where are these ruffians you speak of? "
Zirah pointed behind her after which several people in black appeared, The young man named Shiro looked towards Yan Duye, Yan Duye also looked towards Shiro and after several bouts of conversation Yan Duye took out his sword which had silver poison coating to it and slashed towards the young man Shiro.
Before Zirah could react Shiro created a wind barrier and deflected Yan Duye blow afterward Yan Duye screamed for a retreat, Shiro chased after them.
Several minutes Shiro returned and spoke a few with Zirah, initially Zirah was cautious but soon found out even though Shiro is Martial Grandmaster he is just a curious kid with a fascination towards the outside world.
