'Eee yaaappp!
Clang!
in a place far from the city, a sound was heard from two sword blades clashing with each other
'you still have a long way to go and to much to learn!
'ugh...
it turned out that Kiara and Akira were seen practicing swordsmanship to hone their skills, both of them each using a one-handed sword made of low-quality iron so that the wounds they would suffered were not too fatal
the sky looks still cloudy and dark as if it wants to rain heavily but all that does not stop Kiara from continuing to hone Akira's swordsmanship skills which are still average for a swordsman
'yes,that why!
Clang!
Kiara soon began to push her sword which was still resisting Akira's attack so strongly that it made Akira bounce far back
'Argh!
Swish! Thud!
screechhh!!!
Akira who bounced away reflexively corrected his leg posture and landed on the ground while his body retreated far back due to the impact of Kiara's sword slash which was too strong for a normal human to do
'you need experience and sharpen your swordsmanship skills to a higher level darling..
Kiara, who remained in her combat position without wavering at all, smiled widely at Akira who was a little annoyed by that fact
'i know! but how can you stay in that position after knocking me so far away from you with that slash of your sword? this doesn't make sense even though I see you're still not serious about training me!
'this is what hard work is called! there is no very short way to become the ultimate warrior
'ugh..If so, how many years will it take me?
'hmmmm...if I am being sorry for you maybe for you it will take a long time or even you won't be able to
'ugh...
Akira lay limp when he heard the bitter truth from Kiara herself, he hoped that he would become strong enough to protect everyone but it turns out that his sword skills are still at an average stage.
rustle...rustle..
'are you going to give up on being strong?
Kiara sat beside Akira while saying that looking up at the dark sky
'of course not! I will not give up and I will continue to try my best so that I succeed in being stronger than you!
'....is that so...? then tell me why do you feel so pressured to try to be the strongest? doesn't being the strongest mean nothing more than being strong enough to leave humanity for power?
Kiara asked that to Akira with a slightly gloomy expression while Akira was silent for a moment
'I want to be the strongest, not because I need it at will, because I really need it for other important reasons than just winning the title of the strongest.
'Is it because it has something to do with your past? like your past lover who died? don't tell me you desire for revenge?
'..........'
Akira was silent for a moment watching the sky when he was asked about his old lover Zuri,
when he lost Zuri he was overcome by an uncontrollable feeling of revenge so he once tried to be a bad person and deceive everyone, but the thought arose whether his deed in deceiving everyone was what Zuri wanted especially Kiara who is now by his side?
does he have to become the bad guy first in order to save humanity from the evil in the shadows? but he is also not a hero who upholds justice and is supported by various parties or races
are being evil and prioritizing his feelings of revenge the best solution of all? the problem kept echoing in his mind so that he, who absolutely did not want to disappoint Kiara and Zuri, finally made a decision about this.
'no..I don't need feelings of revenge, but I only need justice for Zuri's death and I promise to punish those who have made her suffer
'sigh..fufufu..
hearing Akira's answer with full confidence, Kiara smiled broadly with pride towards her lover
'why are you smiling?
'fufufufufu..nothing it's just..
Kiara soon brought her head closer to Akira and kissed him on the lips while Akira flinched a bit but then accepted it
'Chu..
'hmmmm....
'it is a sign of my love and my pride for you, who I consider to be the best man I have ever met
'A-ah...yeah..
Akira became very embarrassed in that situation so he looked at the other side to avoid Kiara's gentle gaze until suddenly...
Flap! Flap!
'Chosen one..!!!
the figure of Sarah the fairy began to be seen from afar who was flying towards the two of them
'Sarah..! have you prepared it?
'yes...!!
Kiara shouted to answer Sarah's call, who was still far away, when Akira started to get a little confused with the two of them
Flap! Flap!
Thud!
not long after Sarah who was flying started to approach them and landed in front of Kiara
'so where is the place you have prepared for me Sarah?
'the place is located in the southwest direction of this island, my lord
'great! let's get ready darling
'whats going on and where are we going to...?
'of course..to the place where your last swordsmanship training will begin
'the last one..?
Akira at that time looked very confused by the situation they were in too much of a hurry as if something was happening behind the scenes
