Humans had been fighting the demons with the divine weapons, once used by guardians. In the book 'Guardian Swords', I found records of sixty three swords used by humanity and they were even ranked in the order of strength
These weapons were passed on from generation to generation and hence were a kind of a family treasure and source of honor for families possessing them
After a week of research on these weapons, I found out that powerful weapons often had a will, that were recollection of thoughts of its previous owner. So the previous owner of this sword must have hated humanity to the core.
The will of these weapons can be changed with time furthermore even powerful weapons can be controlled by using arts known as Divine arts that humans developed themselves through centuries.
But the problem arises now, in the continent of pangea, the nation with an academy that teaches these divine arts are very less and the only possible way for me to learn controlling this sword, instead of being controlled by it, is to go to nation of Calasir in North-west region of pangea continent
The reason I chose this nation is because it's academy of Divine arts is the strongest and most importantly it is the only academy that won against demons.
I bought my plane tickets to calasir and packed my luggage for the journey. Since my parents died when I was small and I lived on my own, leaving my home wasn't a difficult task.

There were huge buildings on both sides of the road as I was looking outside from window of my taxi
"So you are here for joining the Academy and you even got a recommendation letter, that's commendable" The driver was a man in his middle age
"Are there many young people that come to join the academy?" I got the recommendation letter, just after saying that I had my own divine weapon
"Yeah, many of them, but having the recommendation letter makes sure that you would be an elite and not a sacrificial pawn"
"what is that?"
"You will understand once you enter the academy"
soon, the taxi entered the academy's wide campus with many buildings for different classes. It looked like an academy for royal family youngsters.

Entering the academy, the first thing I did was taking my recommendation letter to the principal
I was standing, with luggage bag in my one hand and a sword covered with cloth in the other, facing the principal of this academy
He read the recommendation letter, gave a satisfactory smile and spoke " Our academy is the same as any other academy, with the exception of teaching how to control divine weapons that is, These three years you will be taught basic subjects as well as sword arts, And since you have a recommendation letter signed by me, you can ask me for any help you want"
"Sir, actually I do need your help for something"
"huh what is it?"
"I want the fact of me possessing a sword to be a secret between two of us"
The principal was taken back at what he just heard "Why would you do that?"
"Swords are a kind of family treasure. If powerful families knew of existence of a powerless individual like me, possessing a sword, they may try to take it from me, so to avoid this trouble, I want your help"
The principal gave this matter some thought and asked me "But if we do that, you would become a commoner and you will not get fame that elites possessing their own weapons have"
"I will have to do it for my safety" I had a determined expression on my face
The principal sighed "I understand, I promise that this secret will remain between two of us"
I left the room and the principal kept staring at the recommendation letter I gave to him, more precisely, he was staring at name of the young man, who declined fame that youngsters from powerful families can't think of declining.
'Evan Reeves huh, I would like to see how far you can go'

Returning to the hostel room I was given, I finally looked at vibrating sword in my hands
"You don't like, me being called 'powerless individual' right?" The sword vibrated again in answer
"well, I don't like how it sounds as well" That evil and arrogant grin took over my face again
After having a bath, I opened my luggage to get my cloths when my attention went to some mark on my hands
"Where did that come from?"
It was like a tattoo on the arm, I held the sword with, but it looked incomplete
"Is this your doing?" I looked at the sword
No reply, it didn't even vibrate this time
I faced the Mirror and slowly touched the tattoo on my arm that looked like it was printed on my hands and was even expanding as I looked at it
Then I suddenly heard sound of my door opening "eek!!"
I turned around and saw a girl that looked the same age as me with long silver hair, covering her face in embarrassment, as she saw me half naked
"What are you doing in my room?" The embarrassment turned into anger
"your room?"
"Yes, this is my room and y-" she stopped her words when she saw the name plate that reads two names Evan Reeves and Victoria Bennett
"But how is-" She covered her eyes with her hands again, as soon as she remembered to do so
I looked at the name plate and spoke with a smile "Oh looks like we are roommates, nice to meet you, I am Evan Reeves" I walked infront of her, took her hand and kissed the back of her palm, I thought this is how royal ladies are treated, but boy I was wrong!
Instead of greeting me back, she screamed "Put something on first!!" and covered her face with her hands again
Victoria's POV:
This guy....
First, he stood naked infront of me and then shamefully kissed my hand. And I have to live with him
She looked at him and at his naked chest having a rough outline of abs and muscles with slightly tanned skin
'This is the first time I have seen a man's body, a fairly handsome face and body...'
"Ah" what Lewd things am I thinking about? Was I always like this? She covered her face in embarrassment again
