Another month has passed, I have long since told my parents that it was time to go out into the world, my mother was still worried, but I promised him it would be less than a year, we remove the maximum of six months for my exponential increase in strength, since now in the entire sacred land of the sword, Gull is the only one who can rival me.
Mom reluctantly agreed to this, but I promised her that when I returned I would give her lots of grandchildren, this apparently made her happy and my father scold me with "I'm not too old for grandchildren"
I also notified my women, Nina accepted since she was the first to know as well as Ghislaine, but Eris wanted to accompany me, I obviously refused arguing that her training still needed to continue.
She and I fought about it but in the end Ghislaine talked to her and in the end Eris reluctantly agreed, saying that when I returned she would already be a Sword King.
I said goodbye to Isolte in the same way as the friend she is, although I can see that she is somewhat wary of me, although well I don't blame her, I learned her techniques very quickly and that must have hurt his ego.
Still she said goodbye to me with a smile
Tomorrow was the day I would leave... I was honestly excited, I had wanted to go somewhere other than here for a long time, this world is so vast and full of mysteries, a lifetime would not be enough to cover it all.
I arrived home after my last day of long training at the dojo, needless to say my wives gave me a formal farewell between the three of them before I returned home...
But the way Eris did it...I'll be sore for at least a week...
After having dinner with my parents and taking a shower, I went to bed to sleep.
"Tomorrow will be a new day in my life..." I murmured.
With this thought I fell asleep.
...
An uncomfortable feeling came over me so I opened my eyes immediately and... I was in the world of emptiness, a completely white space...
"And now what?..." I muttered in a bad mood while looking for the faceless being.
"I just came to wish you good luck as a friend!" Hitogami said while clapping his hands.
"We are not friends, and I'm only doing this so you don't bother my family or Rudeus's" I said angrily.
"Hmmm! You hurt me with your words! And I came here to give you some advice!" Hitogami said, gesturing exaggeratedly.
"What's that? And now what's your big advice?" I said, crossing my arms.
"ahem!, Gino!, Listen carefully! When you go on your trip, head to the magical city of Sharia! Infiltrate un the magical university heading to the library and steal a book about the teleportation labyrinth!!" Hitogami said with excitement.
"...you want me to steal the book that will be crucial to Rudeus?!" I said as I stood up suddenly.
"Calm down, buddy! I'm not saying that! In fact, you'd be doing Rudeus a favor!!", "With your current abilities, that labyrinth would be a piece of cake for you alone! And since you're an A-rank adventurer, it won't be difficult for you to get in there!" Hitogami said as he moved with excitement.
think about it!, You go in there, help Paul's group, rescue Zenith Greyrat and in the process make Roxy Migurdia fall in love with you!" Hitogami explained.
"...I don't think that's a good idea" I muttered.
"Hmm? Why not?" Hitogami asked while crossing his arms.
"It's just too long a trip for my estimated time, round trip would be more than two years..." I explained.
"Oh, that's it? Bah! It's not a problem! There are teleportation circles, remember?" He said, dismissing my concerns.
"Yes, I know they exist... but I don't know where they are," I told him.
"That's not a problem! You'll just use the one near Sharia! Plus you'll have help!" Hitogami said.
I raised an eyebrow at this instinctively.
"Help? From whom?..." I muttered
"You know Gesee Nukadia, right? Well, he is also one of my most faithful apostles!, I contacted him at the right time so that he could send a letter to Elinalise DragónRoad asking for help!" He explained
"If you hurry, the letter will arrive the same day as you! And the letter explains that you will go with her!" He said excitedly as I tried to process the information.
"Wait a minute... Rudeus and Elinalise are already at the Magic University right? How do you know Rudeus won't want to go when he finds out about this?" I muttered.
"Hehe! Don't worry! Rudeus is busy making his love nest with Sylphiette! I followed your request and as soon as I arrived he stuck to that girl like gum haha!" Hitogami laughed
"But that doesn't guarantee that he won't want to go..." I told him.
"Tch! You're a airhead!, you know? The letter will only be addressed to Elinalise and she will leave quietly!" Hitogami replied irritated.
"Then...why don't you tell Rudeus to take that book and recommend it to Elinalise and she can take it without me having to enter the university by force..." I muttered.
"I..." Hitogami was silent for long seconds as he looked at me.
"tch...fucker...just go to Sharia quick..." He said with frustration.
"You didn't think it through, did you? It must have been one of those tricky tips, right? Let me tell you, that won't work on me!" I yelled at him.
"tch...reincarnated people are a pain in the ass..." He muttered while biting a nail.
"I'm sorry, my friend, it's the world you have to live in," I said while he got angry.
"You!...just look at Begaritt! I'll tell you where the teleportation circles are!!" The scream eh immediately I felt a force pulling me back and immediately I woke up.
...
I woke up slightly upset, it was summer and I was sweaty so the first thing I did was take a bath.
This time I wouldn't do a training since it was my day to go out, yesterday my father helped me buy a horse and it was in a nearby pasture.
Since I had grown a lot in recent years, I didn't have many clothes in my size other than my training clothes and other clothes I bought recently, but most of them were for travel.
I had breakfast with my parents, my mom looked visibly sad but with a few hugs from me her mood improved.
So after breakfast I went to say goodbye to the last person, Gull Farion.
When I entered the dojo he was barely sitting on his cushion when I opened the door of the place.
"Ah Gino, you're leaving already?" Gull asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes... but first I would like to have a little duel with you, a friendly one just to warm up" I said with a smile.
"Hehe...if you say so, I don't see why not" Gull said huh and immediately lunged at me at top speed.
Not even my father could have reacted at this speed, but I... I was already on another level.
(thack!!)
The clang of our swords echoed through the empty building.
Gull grinned like crazy at this as he looked into my eyes.
He immediately crouched down and tried to attack my ribs but I blocked his sword and with Flow I made him stagger slightly.
With this an opening was opened, it was a thousandth of a second for the outside world, but for me it was enough.
But like the Sword God that he is, Gull reacted quickly, I turned around while Gull regained his balance, my sword headed for his neck at maximum speed just like Gull's to mine.
(fwoosh!!)
The sound of air being cut invaded my ears, in front of me was Gull Farion, my sword was lightly embedded in his neck, with a slight cut, a small line of blood stained my sword.
Gull's Sword on the other hand was above my head, at the last second I ducked as much as I could and avoided his attack, I was now out of Gull's arm range.
Gull's expression was both shock and surprise, this was the first time I was able to avoid one of his attacks.
Her lower lip trembled slightly but eventually a small smile formed on her face.
"I only let you win because I like you" he said while forming a mocking smile
"Thanks a lot for that anyway" I replied with my own smile as I removed my sword from his neck.
"tch, you've become so fast you damn brat" he muttered as he wiped the blood from his neck.
"Oh, you've become slower," I teased him.
"Don't push your luck kid" he said in a harsh voice but I just laughed.
Gull also allowed himself to smile as he patted me on the back.
"I never thought you'd get this far this soon, but I always knew you were special," he said.
I looked at him and bowed in respect.
"When you get back, marry Nina and give this old man grandchildren" he said with a smile and I scratched my neck because of My nervousness.
I eventually left the central dojo as the other saints began to arrive and was now heading back home to have my parents accompany me out of the sacred land of the sword.
...
I told my parents and they accompanied me to the exit. I carried clothes, food and a sleeping bag in a small backpack.
And on top of me I carried my savings and my adventurer card and obviously my Dragon Phoenix sword on my waist.
"Oh my baby...you grew up so fast!" Mom said through tears as she hugged me.
"Calm down mom, it's not a goodbye, but a see you soon" I said while hugging her tightly.
"Uuuuh....I know but I'm going to miss you so much baby!" She said between sobs and I could only hug her.
I looked at my father and he was just smiling, my mother stopped hugging me after resisting for a few moments
My father offered me his hand for a shake but instead I hugged him tightly anyway.
"...take care of yourself son, we'll be waiting for you" he said while patting me on the back.
"Yeah, I'll see you later!" I said as I climbed onto my horse.
He was a black horse of average size but according to my father, he had a lot of endurance.
With a final glance I said goodbye to my parents and began to gallop out of the sacred land of the sword, I waved goodbye until I lost sight of my parents' silhouette and thus increase the speed of my horse's gallop.
And after a couple of minutes of traveling I was surprised to see that the sacred land of the sword is on top of a huge mountain with a semi-flat top.
The further I went, the more I realized how huge and majestic my place of origin was.
A hint of doubt crept into me at the last minute but I shook my head and focused on the path ahead, I had a lot to do, for my family.
