Allester's POV:
This kid let his tongue slip and told me valuable information.
He has personal magic.. well this will all get sorted out in my County.. far from the borders.. I guess we'll go to a nearby March, he'll be healed there and it's much more better to train in a huge town unlike this Village.
I'm done acting like a chief.
I signaled the kid to wait, and I went outside of the office for the REAL chief of this town.
Allester: "Guards fetch me Eobard.. I'll take the kid and we'll depart in about a week's time."
*Sigh*
'This is getting hard on my old self, why did I even become a Count.. I remember now.. being good with the sword and being one of the main contributors on the frontline..'
'Wish I could turn back time to when I didn't have to do all this paperwork.'
Riku's POV:
So the old man got me waiting up here,
*Tap*
*Tap*
*Tao*
I'm getting bored.. it might be because my days were action packed to the max when I got here oooor.. I miss my phone.
AHHHH MY MANGAS!! UEHUEHUEHUEH.. Jojo isn't finished yet man. I got to go back one way or another.. not because of the mangas, but because well.. this isn't where I belong. All of the heroes here have died here.
But..
Nah, I'ma do my own thing.
I'll go back, I just can't leave my family can I now? I'm not some lunatic who isn't sad when he gets transported into another world, I'm built normally.
But I am summoned differently.. there's no summoner near me when I got here, the pattern didn't match the 500 year pattern.. or cool down I guess.
I sat down.
Though I know one way of going back just from the information I have.
I need to go to Mortem, make him transport me back to my world and well.. yeah we'll see if the Demon King of this story will help me.
Before that.. training is needed, even though it sucks I just can't say no because I'm lazy.
Though what weapon.. what weapon?
Knife? No.. too impractical, I'm not some edgy teenager who thinks knives are the best and reverse grip are better than normal grip.
Sword? Well.. uhh probably not, I saw someone get their hand chopped off with a machete (on the internet of course), and I don't have the past world knowledge of sword usage like some Isekai mc do.
A hammer? Too heavy.
A mace? Maybe.
I seem to be more of a blunt guy. But I mean..
Swords are cool right.
I mean magic in swords.
Swords..
Why are swords used most of the time then.. well spears are used more often if I remember correctly.. no I won't use the system, it's based on my memories anyways.
Sigh.
When is the old man gonna come up here.

Riku: "Oh you're here, how long was it.. felt like an eternity*
I went and looked at my watch.
[6:55]
'So about 5 minutes then..'
Anyways..
Riku: "Isn't healing magic usable by anyone old man?"
Allester then nods his head while taking his massive sword off the wall.
'Isnt that too heavy for that old geezer..'
Riku: "So anyways why can't you use it on me? Don't tell me you don't want to I accepted the deal so atleast give me proper working conditions"
Allester than sigh.. probably, I mean you can see it on his actions no need for the sound to confirm, well anyways he put his hand to my ears andagic circles begins to appear.
I am ecstatic, it's magic.. I'm seeing it with my own two eyes, the stereotypical green light is there. I can't even stop my face from smiling.. am I blushing too? WELL I DON'T CARE BECAUSE ITS FREAKING MAGIC!!
Riku: "Why go all the troubles of writing when you could just healed me right from the get go?"
I can hear what Allester is saying but it's still foggy, most likely is that he just sucks.
Allester: "I'm an old man Riku, I don't remember a lot of things.."
'are you serious right neow you buff looking old man, you're in your 50's if I have to guess, you can't make that excuse.'
Allester: "And I just suck at magic that isn't based on water"
There we go. And water magic? So his affinity is water, I would thought it would be like earth and fire because of that huge sword.. but he still taught Eobard who use the normal longsword so I guess he's just that good.. I guess?
Riku: "Well anyways what are we doing?"
Eobard: "Well glad you asked Riku-san"
Huh!? '-san'? Is he for real right now, like come on. If you're gonna talk English don't be like some cringe dude online who uses Japanese honorifics.. am I getting crazy?
Riku: "San? Just Mr or anything is fine."
Eobard: "I- well uhh.. it just came over me, I don't even know what that means. Anyways back to the topic at hand, in about one week's time, I Eobard and 10 more guards will escort both you and Count Allester to the nearby March. The March of Eindern.. which is one of the 5 Marches that is near the Eirnid Forest, they're less of a March but more of a defense force for the strong monsters that might leave the forest. Oh bet we do have Marches that act like Marches so no ne-"
The old man covered up Eobard's mouth
Allester: "This kid can talk quite a lot given the situation. Anyways the March of Eindern is near the County of Heldon, my County, it was given to me after my achievements on the frontlines."
Anyways my mind is still blown.
Riku: "Forgetting the fact that you're a count and not just some random chief.. why were you here? Cause if my memory is right, I have heard that I was only asleep for about 3 days. So why can't we just go straight to your County then?"
Allester: "Well coincidence, I was already coming here, for a visit of my pupil, this guy right here."
The old man pointed at Eobard
Allester: "Things happen and here we are in this office. Well anyways enjoy your time here"
Riku: "Wait I thought the contract was for me to go and guard this village?"
Allester: "Well I changed my mind and well, it's much better for you to explore the Empire. Also don't worry about Ria village, it's part of The March of Eindern so It's pretty much safe alright?"
Riku: "Yeah ok.. then, I guess.. I'll enjoy my week here then."
We then walked down the stairs that seemed too grand for this village.. well now I know why. It's because they prepared for this Count guy here.
*Sigh*
Anyways we opened the door and the dark sky embraced our eyes.
I looked at my watch and saw [7:10]
Guess talking is time consuming.
Well then, I have to get myself really healed up, cause I still can't hear that well, I can only hear in a radius of about 5 meters.
The village was dark, but not as dark since lanterns are still turned on, on top of the guard towers and on the gates.
