We woke up at our usual time, 6 am. Only this time was different, we had something to accomplish today. The "trade" that we were trying to stop went down on Thursday at 1 PM. Today is Monday which means that we have three days and the morning of Thursday to prepare. Oh boy, this is going to be rough.
The first part of our plan, Akames training goes down today, I'm going searching for someone too, but for now, we'll focus on Akame's POV.
Author's note: The rest of this chapter is written from Akames POV, this chapter is about her and it'd be hard to write it from Soukous's perspective. Don't worry this is only for this chapter.
Alright! Todays the day I learn to become strong!
"Gozan! Where's Soukou?" I ask Gozan shyly.
"Ah, the boy went to town saying he was looking for someone or something. Good morning Akame.
"Oh, I see. Good morning Gozan!" He must be looking for that person to help us with the plan. Not that we have much of one yet, hehe!
"Come, eat your breakfast." Gozan says while gesturing his hand to the log by the fire.
I go over to sit and eat the delicious breakfast that Gozan has prepared for me.
"Thank you very much Gozan!"
"Don't mention it, it's the least I can do after all. So are you going to go play with Soukou today young miss?"
"No I'm not! I was actually wondering if you could train me?"
"Oh? Do you want me to train you? Well first off, what for? And second train you in what?"
"Yes, I do! As for the reason, I want to be strong, be the human princess everyone wants me to be!" (this is a complete lie, I could care less about the human princess thing.) As for what I want you to train me in well, yesterday I got my affinity tested and it turns out my main one is wind! But I also wanted to be a cool swordswoman, like the ones from Legend! So I could learn a mix of those that'd be perfect!"
"Oh, you want to be strong? Very well then. I never would have guessed you to be a Wind user, that's very rare. So magic swordswomen ay? Alright, then your training starts now."
As I heard those words my face beamed with excitement. "Yay!" I yell.
"Quiet down now, don't start celebrating quite yet, I still don't know how much I can teach you. But I'll do my best."
"That's more than enough! Thank you very much!"
"So where do we start?"
"Hmm, well I can only teach you very basics in swordsmanship, and some basic wind spells, it should only last two days."
"Alright, I can't wait!"
"Well, you have to wait just a bit, before we start I need to explain some concepts to you."
"Oh, alright then."
"Hah! If Soukou was here he would be complaining by now! All that boy wants is to train. He is a kid after all so I can't blame him, I'm still shocked by how mature you are."
"Haha! True."
Studying commenced.
"Oh, one more thing I should note."
"What is it?"
"In this world, there are 12 legendary swords only held by the greatest swordsmen alive. These swords have otherworldly abilities. If you want to become a truly great swordsman then I recommend getting one for yourself in the future."
"Woah! That's cool!"
"Indeed, now let's begin!"
Meanwhile, Soukou continues to search for a third member to help them on their mission.
