Tring, Tring—
"Ugh~"
As the alarm ring disrupted my peaceful sleep, I attempted to cover my head with the pillow to dampen the noise in my ears.
However, the persistent ringing of the alarm refused to subside. In the end, I reluctantly sat up and rubbed my bleary eyes.
Upon checking the clock with my blurry vision, I found out it was only 4:50 AM right now.
"Arghh…"
It was early morning, and I groaned at the thought of facing the day ahead.
Dragging myself out of bed, I shuffled to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face, trying to wash away the remnants of sleep.
As I brushed my teeth, I tried to motivate myself for the day ahead and reminded myself of the tasks I needed to accomplish before the second arc of the story started.
Eventually, I managed to shake off the last vestiges of drowsiness and began to get dressed for the academy after taking a refreshing yet short shower.
After taking a shower I put on my first-year uniform and let out a deep sigh.
Yesterday when I was at Silva City Yato had asked to co training ground before 5:30, so that's why I'm waking up this early in the morning.
I don't get what he wants from . I have a few guesses but let's them be guesses for now.
Anyway, I was dressed up, After a few minutes, I stopped and got up to leave my apartnt. Upon making sure that I had locked the door, I let out a deep breath and walked off.
***
[Rank 1001, Lucas Darkheart, confird.]
-Ding!
-Swoosh!
As I approached the circular building, I held my Ai bracket against the entrance, and a robotic voice confird my identity as Lucas Darkheart, Rank 1001. The door to the training ground opened.
As I walked in I saw a rather handso man with silver-white hair sitting cross-legged on the matted floor.
He had his eyes closed as he appeared to be in a deep state of ditation.
Should I disturb him? – I thought.
But then I quickly rembered he was the one who called here in the first place.
"Sir, can I co in?" I asked, finally deciding not to disturb him.
Yato opened his eyes and looked at . "Yes, Lucas, co inside."
Yato said she stood up from his ditation state. I also walked in to take a look around the training ground.
You know, sohow I'm feeling nostalgia. I had gone to Silva City for five days and it feels like it's been a month since I ca here.
After practical and theory classes were over I ca here and practised till no one was inside the training ground.
"You must know why I called you here, right?" Yato said breaking my chain of thoughts,
I looked toward him and I found that he was gently touching a ring on his finger.
Judging by all the runes engraved on the surface of that ring, I could only assu it to be a dinsional storage artefact.
"I have few guesses and my guess is you want to spar with ?" I answered in a questioning tone.
"Affirmative," Yato nodded his head.
"Can I ask why? With all due respect, We only t yesterday and you want to spar with ?" I asked.
"Well, You are wrong Lucas we have t before but I think you forgot " Yato answered. "I think this will refresh your mory."
Saying that Yato took sothing out of his dinsional storage artefact. I looked at his hand and found that it was a face mask.
Yato put that face mask on his face his face began to change! Not only that but his body physics also changed.
After everything was done, Standing in front of was not Yato but soone else, Soone who I know.
"Y-You-"
"Long ti no see, Lucas, I'm Sam William it's nice to see you again."
The Mysterious classmate of mine whom I had never seen in my class, Sam William is Yato!
But why did he turn himself into a teenage boy, I know that if wants to go sowhere he can go, and No one can stop him.
A few monts later Yato takes off the mask and the effect of the the mask ends.
"But why?" I could not help but ask.
"Don't worry about small details, I just do this kind of thing for fun," Yato said as he placed that mask back into his ring.
"Tha answer your first question and as for the second question of yours, it's simple you are worthy of my interest," Yato said with a small smirk on his face.
'Worthy' of your interest? What are you, a God?!
Suppressing such thoughts, I retorted.
"That is not true." I said, "There are many other cadets who are much more talented than . Take Adrian, Aric, Emma, or Evelyn for example."
Yato shook his head and let out a deep sigh. "Emma's skill with the bow is impressive, but sadly I haven't ever done bow training myself because there was never a need for it. The sa goes for Evelyn as well. Aric has his guild and many instructors waiting to train him and I don't think there is even my need to do anything. Adrian on the other hand, is a true beast.
His basic swordsmanship is so honed to the point where even I couldn't teach him anything in that regard and also soone else is interested in him.."
…Oh?
So not only but he had a record of all the main characters. That's pretty impressive, I say.
"If you know all that, then–"
I started to interject, but Yato held up a hand to stop .
"But here's the thing, the nas of the cadets you ntioned don't possess the sa raw talent that you do. Sure, they can fight well, but the spark in their eyes is that of a protector, fighting to defend what they hold dear. You, on the other hand, look like you want to win at any cost.
".....?"
Seeing the look of confusion and ridicule plastered on my face, Yato let out another sigh.
"If you don't understand what I said, then just think of it as my instincts. My gut feeling a telling that you will surprise . So I want to spar with you."
Suii—
"Now," after saying what he had to say, Yato summoned a katana from the pocket space of his dinsional ring. "Ready your sword, Lucas...."
