Suno PoV 

That was quite the spectacular fight I was in and I thought of this as nothing more than a time waster as I was not in much of a rush. To be honest I thought they would last 10 seconds but no they were able to keep up with me. At least when I'm not serious and the girl actually forced me to use my lava magic which I don't use quite often. Not only that but the boy as well who I thought I could take on without element magic was also able to put up a good fight overall. 

Now the thing that surprised me the most was his sword as he slashed towards me I had to resort to using shadow magic and than trick my opponent with illusion magic. When the of flash happened it revealed the hidden symbol of what it actually was, which is one of the great weapon Tema's Punishment. Why does this boy have Tema's Punishment which is a legendary sword forged from the god himself as I had heard in the legends it has the same 3 star triangle formation with a gravel in the middle of it. 

The symbol in itself resembles the archbishop's crozier of the Toria Church who follow the god Tema. That was my clue on how I figuring out what kind of weapon it was and there was a divine in it as that is like mana to gods. Where did he find it? Was it given to him? I don't have clues to answer these questions and would love to hear him on how he got it. Also that weapon would have put me in a life or death situation if it weren't for my shadow magic.

I looked at the girl who was only tall enough to reach my shoulders and I sighed 'maybe I was a little too harsh' after all I only kill when they get in my way not for stupid reasons like testing and getting hurt from it. And if I did kill them it would be a waste of talent dying in front of me without no one to train them. I always dreamt of having a student after what those 3 kings did to me and the training they forced me to do. It dug a hole in one of most deep tragic memory of mine that I am not allowed to get rid of.

Again I release another sigh and looked at the girl below me with eyes like you did a good job and could probably see it. That is if she isn't still frighten and can move from my killer intent I used to freeze her. My job is about done and I start talking to her with my hand on her head as a congratulations for passing the test.

"Hmmmm that [Ice spear] was pretty powerful if I were to say so myself and the boy was beyond my expectations."-Suno

The purple hair girl still looked stunned with her shoulder holding up the black hair boy and quickly tried to reply.

"..."-???

Is she still frighten but if that is so than why not say it a bit with force and maybe a response will come out of her mouth.

"Do you want to respond or do you want to die?"-Suno

I said it to her which made her incredibly scared and jump a bit.

" S-sorry sir for not responding but why did you attack us."-???

She stuttered a lit and I thought I wanted to hear her name first before answer her question.

"Oh my, how improper maybe if you need a to show some manners by telling me your name and I will actually tell you the reason."-Suno

Let's try out my upstart noble acting skill I will probably need for information searching and infiltration mission when the time comes. The girl showed a somewhat aggravated face be calmed down quickly when she saw how strong I was.

"Very well, my name is Amethyst and what is your name?"-Amethyst 

She said a little irritated but still answered with a fake smile on her face.

"Hmph. My name is Suno Temeria and I was on my way to the capital city but saw you guys fighting against bandits. I was drawn to the fight and wanted to relieve some stress and test out your abilities nothing much."-Suno

She looked at me weirdly as if thinking I am crazy and continue to look at her friend who I didn't get the name of.

"By the way who is that on your shoulders?"-Suno

Suno said with a somewhat calmer tone instead of his upstart noble act.

"Oh he is Riko and I was wondering how did you become so strong?"-Amethyst

She said a little cautious about it since I just fought her a couple of minutes ago and thinks I might attacked again for her not speaking properly.

"Well I will tell you when your friend wake up and make sure he doesn't attack me as he is getting up."-Suno 

I said as I wanted to make sure not to instantly get attacked after the fight was over. And I was in more trouble than them of dying in the beginning anyways because of that sword of his. For now I will be a little more vigilant if people are going to go off my calculations like that and get me almost killed in one swipe. For now I will go with this caravan full of people and see if they have any useful information and other things that take my interest. 

This is one of the reasons why I wanted to rescue them and get as much from it as possible. After all the bandits were only near beginner level so it would of been quick and decisive fight with me only using minor mana. Amethyst and Riko I thank you for helping me get rid of some of my frustration. Finding the sword Tema's Punishment was a big plus to me as well because it would help me learn a little about these weapons forged by a god.

As we walked toward the caravan with the still tied up people and bandits. I pulled out a mana and healing potion to heal Amethyst and Riko who had been injured in my little test.

"Here drink this and you won't have your mana exhausted and will be healed. Also give it to the other guy so he could heal faster."-Suno

Amethyst was a little suspicious of my potions because I might poison which isn't really necessary for me to do.

"Don't worry Amethyst this isn't poison because if I wanted to kill you I would of already had done so."-Suno

I stared at her intently until she took it and drinks the whole bottle which was the mana and healing potion while she fed Riko with some of it as well. This potion instantly took effect as it looked like the both of them stop looking pale and got back some of their colors. With that covered I wouldn't be considered a threat at the moment and get back to information gathering for the time.

"Thank you!"-Amethyst 

I just wave my hand and move my way to the passengers tied up by the bandits. I started untying the most important people which was the merchant who was probably the leader of the caravan.

"T-thank you for rescuing us!"-Merchant 

He said his thanks for saving the caravan.

"No don't thank me you should be giving it to those 2 right over there. I'm only helping out as best as I can."-Suno

I said right back because I don't deserve a thanks that my hand didn't do. The merchant walked pass by me and went to the 2 standing over a tree with Amethyst kneeling on the ground and Riko on her lap. It almost like they were lovers and I wasn't the only one that thought it as the Merchant said.

"I'm sorry to disturb you on your alone time but thanks for helping us!"-Merchant

The girl blushed after realizing what the 2 of them looked like they doing and I got to say it was quite the funny reaction and giggled like a school girl with their friend. 

"How cliché."-Suno 

I thought to myself while observing the situation unfold and it seems like Amethyst was about to say something.

"N-no w-what are you talking about we weren't doing any alone time!"-Amethyst 

As I expected the situation would be like and kept on laughing until I ran out of air. Now that I had enough of my entertainment I gone to untie the rest of the people while I had asked question relating to the capital to any news outside of the country. I got quite a bit of information for myself like the rumors about a certain Duke trying to claim the princess of Toria by convincing the Queen to let her granddaughter become his sons fiancée. Another I heard in the rumors is the same Duke is making a faction full of nobles in the Royal Court. If these rumors are true and the person who I think is doing this than my job is going to be harder than usually. I also heard that either the Mondora Empire might declare war on us or another Demon Lord strikes us yet again. 

I sigh at this big headache piling up from just hearing it but I quickly got over it and continue to look through all the information I could find. With that I should be about finished with my search and gone to where the 2 love birds were at. They were lying on the tree where Amethyst still sat there with Riko wide awake from his earlier fight. He didn't attack me but gave a long stare down as if trying to analyze what had happened in the fight against me. I skipped the formality and gone to the big question.

"Riko was it? Can you tell me where did you get that sword from."-Suno

He looked at me questions while trying to come up with an answer to it. 

"What about my sword? Is there something about it?"-Riko

I looked at him again and press my answer yet again.

"I said where did you find your sword don't try to play me for a fool."-Suno

I strike back harder with my words and it looks like he was about to break from my pressure.

"Very well if I tell you, would you try to steal it?"-Riko

Hmmm mostly he wants to keep it as much as he can and I wouldn't steal something I don't need. Now that's just being greedy so no I would not steal it I thought in my mind.

"No I would not steal your sword okay and if you don't believe me than don't."-Suno

I look at him with determination and he looks right back at me again.

"If you become our teacher than I will let you know."-Riko

"Deal."-Suno

Riko and Amethyst blinked a bit before looking at each and back at me.

"That was quick what made you decided so quickly?"-Riko

He looked at me with a face full of ??? while staring at me.

"Well I always want a student and it is not like I wouldn't want to teach you guys a thing or 2 about fighting anyways.

He still looks confused until he finally gave and gone to explaining about the sword.

"Well you see I was gifted this sword from the God of Tema and was told to become his secret champion under cloak until I become strong enough to do whatever he wants me to do."-Riko

Oh why would the God of Judgement want a champion anyways. Is he going to judge people that Tema declares as dangerous or something. I thought of all the possibilities and came up with a few but that was about it.

"Why didn't you tell me Riko am I that untrustworthy?"-Amethyst 

She said with a sad expression while looking at Riko.

"No it's not like Amethyst it was just I didn't want to get you involve in these God stuff that had me confused on why he me."-Riko

Now that was a lie right there I could tell he just said he didn't know why but he does but I will keep that to myself. 

"Very well I will teach you guys how to fight."-Suno

They started smiling with a little joy at being taught how to fight.

"But you have to go through my trials before that."-Suno

Their smile broke into a confused look as they were questioning what this trial was. To them they wouldn't know what my hellish training is going to be like and I my grin appeared on my face.

"Muhahahahahahahaha!"-Suno

Just like a villain I laughed while Riko started shaking so was Amethyst as well.

"I think it was a bad idea to ask for his teaching."-Riko

"You think!!!"-Amethyst 

The poor students who didn't see what the hell they got themselves into while shaking to the bone at the laughing manic. I have my plans to make you 2 help me accomplish my goals as well muhahahaha!
