He hears the innkeeper knock on the door asking if he wanted breakfast, Tsuki then responds, No, no thank you. Ok then says the innkeeper, leaving.
Tsuki packs his things and walks to the carriage station in a bit of a hurry when he sees a magic shop, right next to a Restaurant with the name SeaFood Delight.
He goes into the Restaurant, eats, and walks into the magic shop and sees a girl is standing there, she had pale skin and brown hair with green eyes. The girl looks at his pocket and stares at it. Hmm, is something the matter, Tsuki asks curiously.
No it is nothing, the woman says. Alright, sorry to bother you, Tsuki says, walking away blushing. Man she was cut, Tsuki thinks as he walks toward the carriage station, and looks around for the person that Kaido was talking about.
Tsuki then begins to look at the carriages. Hey are you the kid, Kaido was talking about, a man behind Tsuki says.
Hmm who are you, Tsuki asks the man.
I am the person that Kaido sent you here to find, Rairyū says
. So where are we going, Tsuki asks. We are going to Mount Hanadaku, Rairyū says. What I don’t want to go the Mountain that place is responsible for over twenty-five percent of the missing people on this island, Tsuki says.
Yeah I know that was about 7 years ago, It was a group of monsters known as Wendigo, Rairyū says. Myself and a small group of people were the ones that killed off the group, Rairyū says. What you all stopped a group of Wendigo, Tsuki says shocked.
Yeah, me and my group are a capable enough bunch, Rairyū says. Hey, get in the back we have to get going after all, Rairyū says. Oh you're right, Tsuki says getting on the carriage.
He begins to pass out and he begins to dream about that day again. He saw his dad jump up and yell now Kurigari Black Tempest. and a figure emerged, a figure with white hair and blue eyes. And the Figure released a large wave of pure darkness. No light emerged from where that wave hit.
The blast had killed the monster that emerged, but the largest one began to approach him. In an instant, it snatched his father and began to crush him like an ant. The Figure desperately tried to free Tsuki's father and it struck the hand with Darkness over and over again but to no avail. Then Tsuki remembers getting thrown up in the air and being blasted by darkness but not harmful darkness, nearly comforting darkness, and then he sees an explosion right before it closes completely.
Tsuki gets shaken awake by Rairyū. Hey Tsuki take this sword and consider it a gift, Rairyū says handing him a katana.1 I am about 95 percent sure this kid is his son, Rairyū thinks.
Alright you are going to be training with my other new student, Wilbur he is pretty tall and has a terrible attitude, Rairyū says. Hmm alright then, Tsuki says following Rairyū up the hill.
Who is this, Wilbur asks. Hey I am Tsukihiko Koyama, a pleasure to meet you, Tsuki says loudly.
I am Wilbur, good to meet you, the boy says. Alright now fight each other, Rairyū says.
What the hell, Tsuki says. Yeah I need to know which one of you is stronger, Rairyū says. Alright then, Wilbur says. Tsuki takes out his sword and charges at, Wilbur.
Wilbur dodges and slices at Tsuki's arm. Wilbur stabs Tsuki in the gut causing Tsuki to fall over. Dark Orb, Tsuki says summoning a small ball of mana which blasts towards Wilbur.
Wilbur cuts it and charges at him. As he does the sword snaps and the ball explodes in a ball of darkness. Wilbur falls over and passes out. Alright I guess you are the winner, Rairyū says.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Also the winner had to carry the other up the mountain, Rairyū says. What, carry the other, Tsuki says shocked.
Yup why would the winner have to to do that, Tsuki says. Because you both first need to train with the others first, Rairyū says vanishing in a ball of lightning.
Tsuki picks Wilbur up and begins to carry him up the mountain. The trees begin to shake violently and with each step Tsuki took he heard Dozens of sounds around him. A figure jumps at Tsuki but is quickly cut down by an unknown swordsman.
He sighs and says, Hey, what are you two doing here? We were told to come up here by Sensei Rairyū, Tsuki says.
Oh so you two are the new students, the man says. Yes sir, Tsuki says. Alright then is your friend awake, the man asks. Wilbur wakes up and begins standing on his feet. Hello sir, Wilbur says bowing.
Hello you two my name is Arthur, the man says changing his tone to a cheerful tone. Who is this weirdo? He looks like he hasn't slept in the last couple of days, Tsuki says whispering to Wilbur.
Wilbur lets out a held laugh and quickly stops.
Arthur begins up the mountain again and takes out a bottle and drinks out of it. Arthur yawns and draws his sword. There are demons around us, Arthur says, beginning to release mana.
Tsuki begins to focus again and forms a large ball and Tsuki launches it into the woods. The Trees crack and break apart as the ball goes through them. What was that, Arthur says, staring at the destruction in front of him.
Oh it is a thing where I focus on the palm of my hand and it creates a large orb and then it launches forward. I doubt he realizes that the mana he uses is one of the two primal elements, Arthur thinks running up the mountain.
Hey, Arthur, a man with wings says. What are you talking about, didn’t you get word from Rairyū about these two, Arthur says yawning. Umm no but I guess I could have missed the report, the man says looking into his side bag.
Or, Rairyū forgot to tell you, Arthur says. Well that is possible, the man says. Oh how rude of me I am Aiko, a proud member of the Fairy Race, the man says introducing himself to Wilbur and Tsuki. Hello Sir, Aiko it is a honor to meet you, Arthur says. Tsuki mimics his movements and says, Hello Sir. Aiko.
Hey enough with formality let's reach the top of the mountain, Aiko yells cheerfully floating up the mountain. Arthur grabs a large bundle of paper from his bag and begins to look through it. He then stops and begins rummaging more. He calls over Wilbur and hands him and sword.
What is this, Wilbur asks. It is your clan's National Weapon, Arthur says. Where did you get it, Wilbur asks. I got it when I was a member of The Eight Bandits. Our leader was the one to wipe them out but after words he gave it to me I feel that it is only right for you to have it, Arthur says.
Oh well I have gotten over it for the most part and you had nothing to do with it personally so what difference does it make, Wilbur says. Alright come on guys you have to meet the second strongest member of our rag-tag team, Aiko says. They continue to walk up the mountain and see the cabin in front of them. Hello, Aiko a childish looking boy says landing and the ground next to them. Hello, Isamu sir, Aiko says. I have a question for the 2 of you, Isamu asks Yawning.
What is it, Tsuki says skeptically. Why do the two of you want to get stronger, Isamu says. I want to become stronger than the entire demon race and eradicate them from this world, Wilbur says intensely. Hmm I see and you, Isamu says looking at Tsuki. I want to become a symbol of freedom, a symbol to show that you can be whoever you want, Tsuki says confidently looking at Isamu. Man what a loser, Wilbur says looking at him.
What do you mean it is better than yours, Tsuki says yelling at Wilbur. You want to cause mass extinction for one dumb demons actions that is like killing all birds for pooping on your head, Tsuki yells.
That is not even comparable, Wilbur yells back. I mean he has got a point, Arthur says to Aiko. I mean Tsuki made a pretty good example of a similar situation, Aiko says yawning.
Alright well even though both of you are stupid and Wilbur you have to get your emo problem sorted out I will help train both of you, Isamu says. Wilbur stops fighting with Tsuki and raises his hand. Just how strong is Sir Rairyū Magic type, Wilbur asks. Hmm I would say if he maxed it out he could probably trade blows with a full arch angel but as he is now I would say that Rairyū is stronger than any wimpy lower angels the 3 lower angels that could beat Rairyū are Toshiro Ruler of Time, Aqua Ruler of Water and Virgil, Ruler of Swords, Isamu says.
Hmmm Between Aiko and Arthur who is stronger, Tsuki asks abruptly. Hmm between both of them in ideal settings for Aiko Aiko would win but in Ideal setting for Arthur then he would if in a neutral area I think Arthur's Sword would carry him to victory, Isamu says. Aiko and Arthur begin to stare at each other hostilely.
