???" What?!"
???" ...uh...but wasn't he who saved us...?"
???" What's going on?!"
Usman ' Status!'
Ding!
Name: Viscountess Ubae Fae
Condition: Possessed by a ghost!
Guards
Condition: Charmed!
Succubus
Cr 7
Disguised as maid!
Usman ' DAMN HIM!'
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Three arrows were launched towards us.
WOOSH!
But flames engulfed those.
Growlithe " WOOF!!!" He barked towards me.
Usman " You are right. Growlithe! Protect, Firuza! And YOU!"
I looked towards the maid.
Usman" If you think, you can catch me. Then, do your best."
Firuza" Usman..."
Growlithe" WOOF!" He barked towards her shaking his head.
She looked at me and sighed. She went with him.
Viscountess " Now, that the charmed Viscountess has gone. Get him!"
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
I zoomed past them but some guards were protecting Fae and maid with their swords in a thorn formation?
Usman ' What can I do?'
Swipe! Swipe!
I jumped back and dodged the slashes.
Usman ' Luminous! Could rule breaker be used as wide range if I imbued IT with ample MP?!'
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
I was moving around dodging arrows.
Luminous ' No. You have to use multiple projections which you are not allowed to use in this world.'
Usman ' DAMN! If only it was a different world.'
Slash! Slash!
I jumped upon two guards.
Usman " World...."
I remembered about my latest skill.
Usman ' YES!'
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
I blitzed past the arrows.
Usman " I am the bone of my sword,
Steel is my body and fire is my blood."
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
I jumped up on a shop.
Usman " I have created over a thousand blades,
Unknown to Death,
Nor known to Life."
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
I jumped down.
Usman" Have withstood pain to create many weapons,
Yet, those hands will never hold anything."
Maid whispered something to Fae.
Fae" He's doing SOMETHING! STOP HIM! NOW!!!"
Guards started running towards me.
Usman" So as i pray,
Unlimited Blade Works."
Before they reached me, flames engulfed the entire plaza.
.....
Firuza P.O.V.
After dodging the attacks of guards for some time, Usman started chanting. The chant, I heard before. But now, it was like a full version. What was he going to summon? Suddenly, guards went to slash him on Fae's orders. Instead of that flames erupted and engulfed us all.
???" AAAHHH?!!!"
I heard many shouts. I was shocked too. Not because I was in flames. Because I was neither harmed nor felt heat. What was these flames? They disappeared as soon as they appeared.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Cling! Clank! Clang! Clank! Clang!
I looked around and I was as surprised as others. The surrounding changed to a barren land, filled with swords of different kinds. This seemed like a graveyard of past warriors. Sky was filled with clouds of crackling lightning. There were a number of gigantic clockwork gears moving in the sky.
There was a small hill like land, upon which Usman was standing.
...
Fae P.O.V.
To think, I of all people was possessed by a ghost. On top of that a demonic wench was ordering him....me in a way. She charmed my guards in a disguise.
Fae' Are you planning a massacre?!'
Soon, we went to the central plaza. Where he....I ordered the guards to attack the boy as the culprit of every assault on our town. I felt powerless. But he didn't retaliate. Instead he dodged the attacks. Soon, he started a chant, I never heard before.
Realising that it could be bad, wench ordered to announce an attack. Which I did. I was expecting blood to be seen but I saw flames. Which were not harmful. When they were gone, I saw something unimaginable.
.....
Usman P.O.V.
Luminous ' You can keep it up normally for 5 minutes for now. With all your mana, 14 minutes.'
Usman ' Got it.'
I looked at the maid.
Usman " Your ' play ' ends, NOW!"
With a thrust of my right hand, chains appeared. These tied up everyone. Soon, guards and Fae convulsed. A purple mist came out from their bodies and dispersed.
Guards " What happened?"
???" What is going on?"
???" Where are we?"
Mist which came from Fae's body formed into a ghost.
???" What is THAT?!"
???" A GHOST?!!"
Maid " Tch!"
The maid which was standing changed. Horns came out of her head, wings from her back. A fork tail from her back and her clothes changed into a lingerie.
???" A demon!!!"
Succubus " DAMN! Stall him! I need to report!" She said flapping her wings.
Ghost" Yes my la...."
I chained him mid speech. One chain wrapped her leg. Others rest of her limbs. She was facing towards me like the ghost. I released the guards and Fae.
Usman ' Chains of heaven. Such a useful weapon.'
Usman " Now, what you have to say about your play?"
Ghost" if you think...my lady... will talk to...a weak human... like you..."
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
A volley of swords tore him to shreds and he turned to dust.
Usman " So, are you going to talk or you want to be next?" I said looking at her like it did not matter to me.
She looked at me for few moments. Then, she smiled.
Succubus " I think, I realised why my Lord sent me here."
Everyone paid attention to her.
Succubus" I was not here to kill you but to assess the true pinnacle of your first skill. Guardian."
Usman" Huh?" I said raising my brow.
She blinked her eyes.
???" HUH?!"
Guards " A WHAT?!"
Fae" Guardian.."
Firuza' So, it is a class?!'
Succubus " Looks like you are not aware of what kind of power you have awakened right now or should I say a class?"
Usman" What are you talking about? I am a magic warrior." I said trying to justify.
She nodded.
Succubus" Yes, you are or were. But now, you are someone else. Someone ' special '. This is as far I can tell you. So, finish me off."
Usman" Haah~" I sighed.
I clenched my right hand.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
A volley of swords tore up into pieces. Which also turned to dust.
Ding!
Test completed!
WOOSH!
Sands erupted with a strong wind and everyone were back in the plaza.
???" WE ARE BACK?!!"
Guards " MY LADY!!!"
They ran towards her.
Fae" I am okay."
Firuza " Usman!"
Growlithe " WOOF!"
They came to me.
Usman' Luminous. What the hell was that?!'
Luminous ' Consider it a way to hide your gifts. A class has been given to you and only you. So, it's better to make your documents now. It will resolve all issues related to your skills. You can have the rewards later.'
Usman ' Looks like it is the only way to dodge all the questions, I will receive in the future.'
Firuza " Usman. What was that?" She asked me expecting something.
Usman" Only thing, I know that was source of my previous skills. I think, I should check my status again."
Firuza" That is a good decision. I second it."
Fae" Then, allow us to escort you." She said coming to us with guards.
Usman" Alright."
We went with her to the reagent's office. Fae was walking before us and guards were around us.
Firuza " Is this really needed?" She whispered indicating towards the escort.
Usman " Consider it a way to amend."
She looked at me with widened eyes. Then, she nodded. Soon, we reached reagent's office. Fae opened the door and went in. We followed her in and the guards stood outside. She opened Padma's office, who stood up seeing her.
Padma " My Lady!"
Fae" Bring the Merlin plate, NOW!" She ordered.
Padma" Right away! My Lady!" She said moving towards it.
She brought it and put on the dice. Then, Fae turned to us.
Fae" Go ahead, boy!" She said eagerly.
I moved forward and put my hands on the Merlin plate. As soon my hands were placed on it. It shone up and my status appeared as a hologram. Fae started reading.
Fae" Status.
Name: Usman.
Race: Human.
Cr 7!
Class: Magic warrior
|
Hidden class: Guardian!"
Padma" WHAT?!!"
Soon writing appeared and Fae read again.
Fae" Guardian, a hidden class only one of 100000 magic warriors can get IT!!! A class, which only belong to a single person at A TIME!!! ALL GUARDIANS POSSESSED UNIQUE SKILLS OF THEIR OWN!!! THIS CLASS ONLY APPEARS IN A TIME OF DESPAIR!!!"
New words appeared.
Fae" Skills:
Unlimited Blade Works!
Mana Sensitivity!
Pact of Regional Familiars!
Growlithe
Forest Guardian!
Cr 7!"
Fae" So, it's true."
Padma" My Lady! What is going on!"
Usman" Pardon me! Can you do that after writing my documents?"
Fae" Yes! Padma write it first! Take your copy tomorrow morning!"
Usman" Sure." I said.
After she wrote, I removed my hands. I went to Padma to pay.
Fae" It's on us, for saving me."
I nodded and went to Firuza.
Usman " Let's go. We can have mine and yours documents tomorrow."
Firuza" Sure."
We went out and moved towards the tavern.
.....
Fae P.O.V.
Fae" Padma make five copies of it."
Padma " Yes but pardon me. My Lady! What happened?"
I told her about my possession , that demonic wench and her charming of the guards. Then, how I was used against the boy. His use of Unlimited Blade Works and that wench words about his class. Padma was standing with opened mouth.
Padma " M...my lady.... that would mean..." she stuttered.
Fae" Yes. I know. Looks like the evil god was testing his skills. The skills of a guardian, which seems to be stronger than he expected."
Padma" But....my lady... he's just...a boy.."
Fae" Yes but as a Guardian, he is our last hope."
....
Firuza P.O.V.
We were sitting in our tavern, dining area. People were looking at us more than ever. But now they were looking with respect. Specially towards Usman. Well, he deserved it. Guardian. A class only hold by a single person in a time of distress. As usual, the spy came with our dinner.
Spy" Here issss thheeeee meeaaalllll off ouurrr heeeerrrrrroooo!!!" She yelled.
Customers" YEAH!!!"
Looked like people were waiting for such thing. Hearing that I looked at Usman. He just smiled shaking his head. Spy saw that too.
Spy" Awwweee! I thought, I would finally see our hero's proud face. Or you want to be called guardian~"
He sighed.
Usman" I don't care, what you called me. Besides I didn't do that for fame."
After that he started eating. Spy and me were looking at him. Then, she left with a smile. I also started eating with a smile.
Firuza ' You know, I am happy that you are a guardian.'
.....
Usman P.O.V.
I was laying on my bed without my armour. Growlithe was laying besides me.
Usman ' Luminous, rewards.'

Usman ' A potion, gems and thousands SP, good.'
I relaxed.
Luminous ' It's time for your 4th power.'
Ding!
You gained demonic mark from Seven Deadly Sins!
Self healing acquired!
Hell blaze acquired!
Soon, the information related to it's use came to my mind. I projected a mirror and looked into it. I made it appeared by using my willpower. It was like Meliodas and others.
Luminous ' Because they all looked simple before. Later, they changed. But you doesn't have any character's mark. It's unique.'
Usman " Huh."
I looked in the mirror and it disappeared. I slept sooner.
...
Next day
We went to reagent's office and Fae was obviously there.
Fae" Here. These are your documents and this is a introduction letter from me." I put those in my inventory by putting them in my bag. Firuza went forward and had her status. She was still cr 3.
Firuza " Well, I am not special like you."
Usman " Isn't druid a mythical class?"
Fae" Yes BUT not like yours."
Padma" In our Elven records, there was nothing about a guardian." She said standing near Fae, who was sitting on her chair.
Fae" Which are written for last thousand years."
Usman" Okay... that's a lot."
Firuza" So, that's mean last guardian appeared thousand years ago."
Fae" Yes. It could be."
As we had our documents, we went out. We went to the tavern.
