Today we attended Vasteria's class. She decided to replace herself with Caster and teach us about the knights.
After the class,
Everyone left. I and Vasteria were the one's remaining.
"Listen Henry, I want you to follow me right now." She said. I nodded and begin to follow her.
"This is important and that is why I needed you." Vasteria says to me. "Alright..." I say.
Vasteria stops in the middle of the corridor and looks around. "Cao Ping has ordered that you go to Riverery." Vasteria says to me. "Why Riverery? Isn't that the rebel zone?" I ask Vasteria. "Yes, Riverery has rebellions rising all over the place but there seems to be something going on over there. It seems like the general who is in charge of that place isn't doing his work. I just want you to confirm this." Vasteria says. I nod. "Understood."
"You will be leaving today, right now, that's your mission."
And that's my first solo mission...I sigh.
I take a bus to Riverery and make my way there. It takes me 2 hours to get to the top of the mountain. The bus doesn't take a person to Riverery as it's a rebel zone and that is why it dropped me few metres away from Riverery.
"That's Riverery huh." I say to myself. I already hear the entire crowd from the inside. It will be bad if I entered through the front door. I tie my jacket around my waist and jump on the huge wall in front of me. I look around the city from the top of the wall.
"Damn...This city seems to be quite from here. That's not what I would expect." Something seems to be wrong.
I close my eyes to sense mana around the place.
I sense some behind the huge clock tower. I will make my way there. I jump off the wall and use the air to move me forward. The technique that I am using is called air step, it's something that Oki taught me when Vasteria was teaching me to use my immergence. It's a technique where I pressure my feet to feel the air around me and use it as my support.
I reach the clock tower down below.
I hear people scream, "DIE! YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!"
I look at the ground.
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" That's the general who is executing one of the people of the town using the guillotine. I am guessing the general is getting all that hate. That's definitely the thing. I see knights trying to stop people. Tsch!
I have to know what exactly is happening before I can stop the execution.
"After what they did to my mother...They are trying to kill my father as he is the last key witness to it." I hear a familiar voice. I look to my right. "Bob?" I am surprised to find him here. "What are you doing here Bob?" I ask Bob. "This is my hometown...I would obviously be here but what are you doing here?" Bob asks me. "It's nothing...I just was visiting this town." I say with a poker face.
"I don't know what you would find attractive to visit this town but stay out of my way right now...I am going to save my father." I see Bob summon his katana. Bob jumps off the building and chops of the guillotine.
*Swipe*
"You again..." The general seems to be unhappy and angry with Bob's appearance. "Do you want to die that badly that you would enter this restricted place without anyone's permission?!" The general angrily questions.
The general throws away his glove and shows his robotic arm off. The general rushes Bob at an unbelievable speed. Bob has no escape.
*Smack*
Bob gets punched and throws up blood.
"Don't worry, I will make a quick death for you." The general gives an evil smirk. The general brings out a sword. "NO! TAKE MY LIFE NOT HIS!"
Tsch! The person smiles from the sidelines.
"You know what screw my mission..."
*Swoop*
*Crack*
"I am here to safe your town Bob." I smile at Bob and his father as I knee the general's back.
"What the hell?!" The general goes back as he holds his back.
I begin to leak away my mana.
"What in the world are you....?" The general's eyes widen.
"This is bad...We need our main support to deal with someone of this calibre..." The general thinks to himself.
"LEAVE NOW!!!! EVERYONE RETREAT!" The general says as all the knights and genera begin to retreat.
"Henry..." Bob looks at me with a surprised face. "Yeah?"
"Are you seriously going to save my town?" Bob asks me. "Yep, I am...I am here to free Riverery from all the things that are happening here. It's time to make Riverery a free town just like the main city of Regina." I say with a smile. Bob smiles.
A hope for Riverery has finally arrived.
