It had been about a month. Instructor Sosa told me that she might came all the way from the Royal Capital to our little farming village. At the time, I was out in the fields, showing the laborers how to tend to the crops properly. We were growing vegetables, and though they were making progress, there was still a lot to teach. It was thanks to syllabus of farming in my world.
While I was giving instructions, I caught sight of Sosa approaching. I quickly stopped what I was doing and greeted him with a big smile. It was rare to have someone from the capital visit, let alone him. After exchanging a few polite words, we headed to my home on the farm to catch up and talk in peace.
Sosa and I sat down on opposite chairs in my small farming house. The room was quiet, and there was no one else nearby. We faced each other, her sharp eyes fixed on mine. It felt like she had something important to say, and I was ready to listen.
"I am here because of I have two reasons." she said, her tone serious.
"Alright," I replied, leaning forward slightly.
As far as I knew instructor Sosa had mentioned in the mid night when she had spotted me that I might use magic like my friends and she had also mentioned specially that she would come here to tell me, so that there will be no third eye to hear us.
"The first reason," she continued, "is really important. The second is something I mentioned before—I might be able to help you use magic."
Okay,It was unexpected I had never thought she would visit with two reasons. I knew second one but It looked like first reason was something important for Kingdom or whatever.
I nodded slowly. "I see."
She did n't waste any time. "I do not have long to stay here, so listen carefully. There was a clan, long ago, that had the unique ability to store magical elements within their bodies and also they had capability to do it to other humans. They were well-known for this talent, but they were wiped out 20 years ago in the war."
A Clan with surgeon ability- self surgery, something like that which was possible here and a surgery which a doctor performed in our world.
hmm, A war broke out to wipe out them or it was a
intentionally planed attack, like To cover the massacre, they made a story of war.
Well anyway.
She took deep breath to relax her throat,then she started saying again,"
However, if you manage to find a surviving member of that clan, they might be able to help you awaken your ability to use magic,but the possibility is indeed near to zero."
To be honest, I had no intention to ask her about war because she already thought that I am hiding something as I, who defeated the legendary swordsman, Master Maki, within seven days. It might create more problems in the future.
Her words hung heavy in the air. A clan wiped out decades ago? It sounded nearly impossible, but still I also couldn't ignore this possibility as well but I would like to go with it was a pre-planned attack, "Thank you," I said. "I will do my best to find any leads. And what's the other reason you're here?"
Sosa's expression did not change as she reached into her bag and pulled out a neatly folded piece of parchment. "The Prince of Pushkaradweep, Prince Paraksh, wants to meet you. He sent this letter specifically for you." She handed it to me. "Here, read it."
I took the letter from her hands carefully. It was sealed with a crest and looked formal, like something meant for a king. I opened it, scanning the words quickly. The prince's writing was elegant, but the message was straightforward. He requested my presence in Pushkaradweep to discuss something he considered vital.
As I read, Sosa spoke again. "Your friends have already left ahead of you. They're on their way to Pushkaradweep now."
That surprised me. "They've already left? Without telling me?"
"It was urgent," she replied. "You'll need to catch up with them."
I folded the letter and placed it on the table in front of me. "This sounds serious."
"It is," Sosa said firmly. "The prince doesn't send letters like this to just anyone. He must have a reason."
I nodded, letting her words sink in. Whatever awaited me in Pushkaradweep, it seemed like it was going to change everything.
"Have you investigated about summoning." She asked me.
When I was about to read the letter but she intruppted by asking a question. I was being requested by a prince to help him and she was asking me a useless question.
"Yes, I tried to think about it. I had visited some nearby villages and tried to investigate it. But the thing is hung up is that how a mere demon infiltrated The Training Area which is a part of Royal Palace." I answered her.
I visited some villages after leaving capital. I had never thought that this thing was really everywhere, about a demon who easily entered the palace.
"What do you mean by that? This Type of attack happens once in a while sindce a new demon king appeared managing demon kingdom in the shaodw." She replied.
"No villager know about me or the fifth summon. They only know that there were four heros summoned successfully." I pointed out.
Yes, I tried to investigate it. No one knew about the fifth summon. A story was made that 'One Order' was successfully summoned four heros.
"You mean, A mere demon was able to manipulate summoning." She said.
"It's not possible, a higher level demon may have manipulated this, a demon to make summoning fail, but the summoning was not failed instead due to manipulattion by the third party,a demon or may be a possibility that a human, yet it achieved a new order which may summon five heros." I corrected her what she just said and added some other flavours in the spicey food,I mean, in the summoning.
She nodded and Signalled me to read the letter now. Well when I started reading the letter.
"The letter contains magic, so you also can read our language." She said.
"Yes I can easily understand it." I nodded in positive.
The letter was written in their language which was saying, Anyone is able to read it like you are reading it now -
To the Hero,Uzu Hiko
In the name of the Kingdom of Pushkaradweep and under the divine blessing of the Sacred Flame, I,Prince Paraksh, humbly extend this missive to you, a valiant soul summoned by ancient rite to this world in our time of dire need.
Our kingdom stands at the precipice of ruin, for the Shadow Lord, ruler of the demon hordes, has risen from his cursed slumber. His forces lay waste to our lands, spreading fear and destruction, and no blade, spell, or strategy has yet been sufficient to halt his advance. Our people live in dread, our cities teeter on collapse, and our armies grow weary.
It is by the wisdom of the seers and the blessing of the gods that we sought the one prophesied to save us—the Hero from beyond worlds. Through this summoning, you have been brought here not by accident, but by destiny.
We beseech you, noble Hero, to lend us your strength, courage, and wisdom. The kingdom shall grant you any resources at its disposal: loyal allies, mighty weapons, and the finest training in both arms and magic. As the chosen one, you will not fight alone, for our bravest knights and scholars shall stand at your side.
Your journey will be fraught with peril, but it is our fervent belief that you alone hold the power to turn the tide against the darkness. Please know that your actions will not only determine the fate of our world but shall also inspire hope for generations to come.
I humbly invite you to the royal capital, Arvalis, where we shall meet in council to prepare for the trials ahead. May you find in your heart the resolve to accept this noble calling.
With deepest respect and faith,
Prince Paraksh,
Heir to the Throne of Pushkaradweep.
It might take time to explain details, so here is the letter with simple words -
To the Hero, Uzu Hiko,
I, Prince Paraksh of the Kingdom of Pushkaradweep, write to you with hope and urgency. Our land is in grave danger. The Shadow Lord, ruler of the demon hordes, has awakened and is spreading destruction across our kingdom. Our people are terrified, and our armies are struggling to fight back.
You were summoned to this world because the seers and gods believe you are the Hero destined to save us. This is no accident—it is your destiny.
We ask for your strength, courage, and wisdom to help us defeat this great evil. We will provide whatever you need: allies, weapons, training, and support. You will not face this challenge alone. Our best warriors and scholars will stand with you.
Your journey will be dangerous, but we believe in you. The fate of our world rests in your hands, and your bravery will bring hope to all.
Please come to the royal capital, Arvalis, so we can plan our next steps together. I trust you will find the resolve to take on this noble task.
With respect and hope,
Prince Paraksh
Heir to the Throne of Pushkaradweep
It's now easy to understand. So, it looked like a request from Prince to me for help. But the real translation was saying something else.
"Why did a prince hope for help from a magicless hero. Even He did not send a letter to any other hero." Said Instructor Sosa.
Indeed, Prince had sent a letter only for me. And according to Sosa, the Instructor, he did not like to send letter to everyone.
Letter was stating that The land of Pushkaradweep needed my help, a hero, who had not any element to use magic - It looked like this for others, even if you knew the orginal language of this world.
"I have nothing to say, it will be your decision to visit or not." She said and fell silent.
Now, let's come to the main point of the letter which is stated to me for help because I was summoned here, I was considered as A Hero. But... but... but,The letter was just a illusion for others to avoid leak of the main content of the letter.
Let's read the original content of the letter,no, only summery of the letter because it will take more time to read.
I had never thought that the letter was written to me like this, stating as -
You idiot, do you really think you can manipulate the 'One Order' to enter in this world and no one will know. I am waiting for you here in my kingdom, Pushkaradweep. Pay me a visit because I know who you really are, you are -.
Instructor Sosa disturbed me while translating into original content by saying,"What are you thinking? And have you decided?"
"Yes, I think I should pay a visit to royal capital Arvalis of Pushkaradweep. I may find that clan also." I answered.
"Indeed and also King Aryarama has ordered me to bring you to royal capital if you say yes." She said.
A new headache,hmm. So I had to visit capital first.
"You will pay a visit to Pushkaradweep with Princes Rimu." She added.
"It looks like like I am just a pawn here." I joked.
The matter was really serious if king had ordered me to see him. And also I had to go royal capital, Arvalis of Pushkaradweep with Princes Rimu. And the main event of the problem was also in Arvalis.
"So, it looks like they can not let me live a peaceful life." I muttered intentionally.
She heard me but she did n't said any word like she understood that the letter was just a illusionfull so that only original content owner read it, it's might be only just I was thinking to much.
"Your face had said that the letter also had some other contents as well. But It looks like I can not read it." She said to me.
She read through my face as I could not hide of facial expressions because I was not the masterpiece of the whiteroom, though.
But She told when I declared She was not going to add anything but it also made me sure that she did not know the real content of the letter sent to me by Prince.
And then next day we departed to the capital of the Jambudweep.
___
Let's go to the first day of training where, heros were taking their lessons with the help of instructor Sosa but I was not.
I was with Princes Rimu in front of format general's house. But when a knight, who was appointed to protect us, was about to knock the door. But the door opened from inside. It was like someone sensed us that we were outside.
The one who opened the door was servent of the house. He greeted us and we entered in the house. There were two members of the house was present in the living room who were former general's elder brother and his wife.
Both of them greeted the Princes and I was introduced to them,forcefully because I had no intention of meeting any other person because it was declared that I was not element less means I had not magic which was still straight forward true.
"So, he is the one of the five hero and yet he has no magic, right princes." Elder brother said.
So the information was provided to some other faces who were not included in royal works.
"Indeed, Its the fact." I replied before Princes could say a word.
" Well, Uzu, We are here because of me, the one you are looking at is a greatest swordman of the Jambudweep,Master Maki. You are going to train with him." Princes said.
First, I thought I was going to buried in the politics of the kingdom war but it turned out better now. And I was being trained by the strongest. I had received a bit of motivation from festival but now I was fully unlocked all my motivation.
"Never tell anyone that I brought you here even my father, king Aryarama." Princes concluded her advice in one shot.
I could see now that it's too confidential that she had gotten this far because I had not magic.
After that they had explained the situation what was happening. How should I made a story.
Our training had started next day, second day of training of heros,in the secret room. I was allowed to visit capital but I had to hide my identity of being a summoned hero.
