《My Life As A Fire Hero!》 Chapter 1-A unique beginning! (Ughhh. Another boring school day, I wonder how the others are doing) I slowly open the door to my classroom. But wait! I still didn''t introduce myself yet! I¡¯m Hayato, 15, Single, and I live with my parents! I can''t wait to go out and live on my own though...My parents recently found out that I''m an otaku, and they got pretty disappointed with me... A shadow figure springs at me, I can''t figure out who it is but.... "Good Morning!" I must''ve known she would be the first to spring at me. The shadowy figure turned out to be Aiko, my childhood friend! She is usually happy and can make you in a good mood because of her cheerful attitude! "uh...Good Morning.." (Hayato) The bell rings, I''m rarely late. We all sit down in our places. *A few classes later* (Thank god that''s done, it''s launch break now which means...) Someone opens the door quickly. "Yooooo, Hayato!" Ah, there he is. That''s my friend Mitsuru. I''ve only known him for a year but he is the type of guy that keeps in touch with you even if he knowsRoyal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. you only for a day. "Yo, listen. There''s this new thing I want to talk to you about!" (Mitsuru) "Yeah sure, wait for me on the rooftops, ok?" (Hayato) "On it!" (Mitsuru) Mitsuru sprints towards the staircase. He is never the type of person to Wait, especially when it comes down to performing a task. I reach the rooftops, Mitsuru is already waiting for me. I wave at him. "Ok listen bro! There''s this new girl who just transferred into here! Her name is Tomiko. From what I¡¯ve heard, she is really shy and cute!" (Mitsuru) "I''m not interested.." (Hayato) "Where have you heard that from?" "Oh no! You followed us again!" (Mitsuru) "I caught you red handed.." I turn to see Katashi standing in front of the sunlight. His eyes glaring at
  1. Katashi is the calm one, but he always scores top marks and haves a
clear sense of justice. "Oh hey Katashi, are you interested in this Tomiko Mitsuru is talking about?" (Hayato) "Not at all; In fact, I asked him where he got this information from.." (Katashi) The bell rings, saving Mitsuru from Katashi''s judgment. "Oh, lunch break is finished, I have to go to the class now or I would be late, right Katashi??" (Mitsuru) "..." (Katashi) All of us return to our classes *Two classes later* "and that''s why Egypt carries great history, now onto gre..." The voice of the teacher slowly fades. Am I the only one noticing, everything is going black! No wait....I was just falling asleep. "HAYATO, WAKE UP!" (History teacher) "Uh!" (Hayato) "Go wash your face! YOU TOO AIKO" (History teacher) Wait...Aiko was falling asleep too? Oh well, I guess I will be on my way to go wash my face. I open the door and approach a public sink. Everything is going black again...Jeez, canI not fall asleep while walking? *Thud* What was that? it woke me up! *THUD* As I look behind, I see that Aiko has already slept, and fell to the ground. But then, someone walks behind her. A mysterious feminine figure wal...... I can''t stay awake anymore, what is happening! Oh no, I¡¯m going to hit the ground too.... *THUD* What''s this. I feel....Warm...No...I feel.....Boiling...OUCH! IT HURTS!! No.....wait...I feel nothing haha...Phew... I was scared by nothing..... But..Why am I here.....Where is Aiko...Where is everybody...... Wait...I see someone.....It''s a mysterious figure, he looks like he is wearing a robe. Everything is....Freezing...Behind him! What is this! I feel so cold although I am surrounded by fire! Wait....He disappeared.....What is all of this?! Did Mitsuru drug me or something?! Light... I see light! It''s steadily approaching me! Wait...Is it going to hit me? No! Wait! Please! NOOOO! Ch 1 End... Chapter 2-Heroes Everything is lightning up again! I can see some figures standing in front of me. My vision is clear now, I can hear them murmuring. "H-HUUUUH! WHERE ARE WEEEEEEE!" (Aiko) "Calm down, we don''t need to freak out now" (Katachi) "B-B-BUUUUUUT" (Aiko) "Who are you guys?" Wait, who said that? That was none of my friends! *Someone taps me lightly on my shoulder, and whispers* "Hey bro, t-t-that''s...uhhh....Tomiko" (Mitsuru) "What are you whispering to him!" (Tomiko) "N-n-n-nothing!" (Mitsuru) *Someone claps in the distance* "Well done, the summoning worked!" (Guard 1) "So are these really the new heroes? And really? Two cute looking girls are heroes?" (Guard 2) *Tomiko is intimidated by that statement, Aiko is blushing* "H-HEY, WHO ARE YOU CALLING CUTE!!" (Tomiko) *Tomiko springs forward and catches the guard by his collar* "listen here, I am going TO BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF YOU!" (Tomiko) *Someone laughs in the distance* "Seems like you too got in trouble, hahaha" (Guard 3) "Let me explain heroes" (Guard 3) "Heroes?" (Katachi) "Yes, we had to summon heroes from another world because they are the only ones capable of saving us. Welcome to Mamulka. This is the world of heroes, but you are the strongest here! We summoned you because you are the only ones able to defeat the 10 leaders of darkness. Since the summoning worked, our king wants to meet you!" (Guard 3) "A king? And judging by your outfits...we are somewhere in the middle ages" (Katachi) "It really is! Just take a look out of the window!" (Mitsuru) "Well, shall we move on?" (Guard 3)Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. "Yeah sure, you lead the way and we follow" (Hayato) We followed the guards around the castle, it''s huge and luxurious. As we finally reached the throne room, we see a huge amount of soldiers standing aside, As if they were waiting for us. The king was sitting on his throne. "Welcome, heroes. I think you know why I summoned you here" (King) "Yes, the guards did a good job of explaining it." (Hayato) "Haha, I see. Well, I will explain it a bit more. You were summoned here because you can use elements. You see, you might''ve called this world *A game* But..Here, everything is real. All five of you are strong. your element will be revealed at the church, there, they will read your cards of power." (King) "Cards of power?" (Hayato) "Yes, they display how strong you are, and in which aspects are you strong or weak" (King) "I see, so this is really like a game!" (Mitsuru) "Can we go to the church now?" (Katashi) "You sure can. Guards, escort them to the church and report back with their elements" (King) We follow the guards again. This time, the church is located right in front of the castle. "Ah...welcome..." (Priest) "Yo, we are here to read our cards of power" (Mitsuru) "I....see..." (Priest) *The priest brings us five silver coloured cards* "Gaze....Into them..." (Priest) As I look at my card, I felt warm again. Is that fire not just a dream? The card turns to a golden colour *Hayato 15 Single, virgin Element: Fire Class: Hero Lvl: 96* I was already levelled up to level 96..Is this what being a hero is like? "Woah, I got thunder!" (Mitsuru) "Hmmmmm. I got light.." (Katachi) "Is this real? I got water?" (Tomiko) "Wait....That''s four.." (Priest) "What did you get, Aiko?" (Hayato) "Hehehe.....I got....Nothing....." (Aiko) "WHAT!" (Hayato) "It''s no problem though, you can go on without me..." (Aiko) "Wait, Priest. What is the 5th element supposed to be?" (Hayato) "Thunder, Light, Water and the strongest two....Fire...And Ice" (Priest) "So was Aiko supposed to get Ice?" (Katachi) "Yes...Bu--" (Priest) *Someone busts open the door with a strong kick* *BANG* "The king requests your presence" (Guard) The king, what does he want now? We follow the guards back to the throne room. "What is this! She didn''t get Ice!" (King) Aiko looks down in disappointment "...." "It''s not her fault!" (Hayato) "I know very well, Still, it''s weird that the card didn''t show her element to be Ice, I can definitely sense Ice in her. Anyways, I requested your presence because the 1st leader will spawn in 24 hours..I want you to get prepared. Aiko can stay here until she learns to control her power." (King) "Ok, my lord" (Katachi) "Now then, go get some sleep in your rooms, I guess it''s pretty late and you are tired" (King) "Thank you" (Tomiko) We all go to our rooms, except....I DON''T HAVE A ROOOOOOOOM! "EXCUSE ME?!" (Hayato) "Yes, sir...I''m sorry...You don''t have a room" (Guard) "B-B-BUT! I CAN''T SLEEP COMFORTABLY THIS WAY!" (Hayato) "Yes, sir, I''m sorry, again" (Guard) "i-it''s ok, he can sleep in my room..." (Aiko) "Aiko?!" (Hayato) "Don''t worry, I have an extra bed in there.." (Aiko) "B-B-BUT!" (Hayato) "Sir, you heard the miss, go sleep now." (Guard) "UHHHHHHHHHHH" (Hayato) I get in Aiko''s room. Both of us are confused and are feeling awkward. "I''m gonna go to sleep, this is getting awkward" (Hayato) "y-yeah...." (Aiko) I lay down on the extra bed...IS THIS FINALLY IT?! AM I GONNA CHASE THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS?!!!! Wait...Calm down Hayato....Calm down.... Sleep. Ch2 end. Chapter 3-Encounter I open my eyes to find myself standing in a burning house and a fire spirit standing in front of me. "Open your eyes" "Who?" (Hayato) "Fire, your inner fire.." "Hm..." (Hayato) "Kill it, using fire" "But...Where am I?" (Hayato) The fire starts disappearing slowly "W-wait! I''m still not done!" (Hayato) "Find your inner flames" The spirit disappears, and so does the fire. "WAKE UP!" (Aiko) "Uhhhh..." (Hayato) Was I asleep? "IT''S HERE, THE 1ST LEADER!" (Aiko) "The...wha?" (Hayato) Katachi and Mitsuru were standing next to the door, fully equipped with armour. "It''s no time to be fooling around.." (Katachi) "Yeah, this is our first mission!" (Mitsuru) "Wait...what''s this? I can see a number?" (Hayato) "Well, that is the amount of Hp the boss haves. We also have to meet the king soon, so get your ass up" (Katachi) Both of them leave the room, I quickly get up and prepare, then, I visit the king with them.The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. "Did the 1st leader spawn?" (King) "Yes" (Hayato) "Ok then, I will leave my greatest commander, Riza, to help you on the battlefield" (King) I can suddenly see a girl standing in the room as if she was there. "Hey everyone!!" "What is this?" (Hayato) "This is Riza''s ability, telecommunication. It allows her to be visible in the room as if she was here." (King) "Nice to meet you! But we have no time, I can pinpoint the location of the 1st leader now... It''s around a cave close to us!" (Riza) "Now heroes, go, save our world!" (King) We all move according to Riza''s directions, we finally reach a cave with only one entrance. "I''m going in first!" (Mitsuru) "No, wait...You idiot!" (Katachi) (shift to Mitsuru''s point of view) Hmmmm, this cave is huge but...it''s quite empty, to be honest. What''s this? I feel something warm underneath me.. It''s glowing red... "Guuuuuuuys, I found something!" (Mitsuru) "Guys? anyone?" (Mitsuru) Where have they gone and left me? I''m gonna get back to the opening of the cave and check if they did ditch me. Woah! The cave is floating! I see, so they were standing on the ground all the time! "MITSURUUUUUUU! THE CAVE IS NOT FLOATING!!!!" (Katachi) "What do you mean?" (Mitsuru) "YOU IDIOT! THE 1ST LEADER IS CARRYING THE CAVE!" (Hayato) Wait, so the 1st leader is that huge? Does that mean I''m standing on top of the 1st leader? Shit! I can''t get down! It''s too high! "Guuuuyyys, I can''t get down!" (Mitsuru) (Shift to Hayato point of view) A stream of water shoots towards Mitsuru, it pushes him off the cave but catches him when he reached the ground. "Was that you? Tomiko?" (Hayato) "Yes! But now we have something bigger to focus on!" (Tomiko) A huge turtle-like creature stands menacingly in front of us, staring at us as if it knows we are here to kill it. This is it, this is our battle! Ch 3 end. Chapter 4-Turtles song "Oh my, that''s quite huge!" (Mitsuru) The leader lets out a mechanical sounding noise "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" (leader) "Wait, is it getting ready to attack?" (Hayato) "GEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" (leader) The sky turns purple, a strange feeling of fear filled our hearts "w-w-what''s this?..." (Tomiko) "I-i-i don''t know...." (Hayato) "ggggggEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA" (leader) A Vertical yellow beam falls behind the leader. Actually, it is raining beams! A beam lands on a tree, the tree started melting quickly into liquid "Everyone, stay away from the beams!" (Katachi) "OK!" (Everyone) We scatter around the leader, dodging all beams that drop near us until it stops "Is this it?" (Tomiko) "I''m not sure, but we must start attacking it sooner or later!" (Mitsuru) (Wait a sec, let me check what movesets I have) *Uncommon moveset: Ragnarok''s flames moves: flame arrow, fire apple scorching heart, rain of fire* (Hmmm, couldn''t they give me a better moveset than this..uhhh, whatever.) "Here goes, Flame arrow!" (Hayato) A bow of fire materialized in mid-air, I managed to catch it. (I see, neat, so....where are the arrows. maybe if I?) I placed my hand in the air, An arrow of fire materialized right under itThis content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. "Here goes!" (Hayato) I shot the arrow straight into its eye, the leader''s eye was melting and blood sprayed the place "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" (leader) "Nice shot!" (Tomiko) "Thanks, but save the compliments for later!" (Hayato) "My turn now! Odin''s armour!" (Mitsuru) Mitsuru''s legs started glowing and so did his hands. Mitsuru realized that he can be really fast and started running up the leader. "But...what do my hands do?" (Mitsuru) Mitsuru tries touching the leader, his hands acted as blades and started cutting the leaders skin "GEEEEEEAAAAAAH" (Leader) *1st leaders health: 50%* (Riza) "Good, we are close to killing it! Keep it going Mitsuru!" (Hayato) "grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" (Leader) The leader''s skin rose dramatically upwards, it sent Mitsuru flying "Waaaaaaaah!" (Mitsuru) "Mitsuru hp: 25%" (Riza) "Let me try hitting, Angel''s song!" (Katachi) Nothing happened "WHAAAAAAAAT! WHY DID NOTHI-" (Katachi) *Mitsuru hp: 100%* (Riza) "EXCUUUUUUUUUUSE ME! WHY DO I GET TO BE SUPPORT?!" NO, WAIT, LET ME TRY, ANGEL''S BLESSING!" (Katachi) *Party attack up by 50%* (Riza) "AHHHHHHHHHHH, NO, NOOOOOO. ANGEL STAND!" (Katachi) *Party defence up by 50%* (Riza) "Uhhhhhhhhhh, I hate this..." (Katachi) "Ayyy Katachi, thanks for the heal, it felt nice hehe" (Mitsuru) "AWWWW YOUUUu!" (Katachi) "Save the fighting for later, it is gonna attack!" (Tomiko) The ground opens under Tomiko, swallowing her. "Tomikooo!" (Hayato) "Don''t worry, I''m able to sense her presence, actually, she is inside that cave!" (Riza) "Mitsuru, let''s go! Katachi, you stay here and keep yourself alive" (Hayato) "On it, Odin''s armour!" (Mitsuru) "Wait! Since when were you the leader?" (Katachi) "Mitsuru, let''s go for now!" (Hayato) "NO! Answer my question!" (Katachi) Mitsuru carries me and starts running up the leader all the way to the cave. As we reach the cave, we hear Tomiko sobbing "Tomiko? You there?" (Mitsuru) "She is, go to your right" (Riza) "Found her!" (Hayato) *Sob* *Sob* (Tomiko) "Tomiko, what''s wrong?" (Hayato) "This~cave~go~out~now~~~~" (Tomiko) "What does she mean?" (Hayato) I touch Tomiko''s shoulder. "It''s ok, you can tell me" (Hayato) "Kill it, please, kill this creature!" (Tomiko) "How?" (Hayato) "Heeeey, Hayato, come take a look at this!" (Mitsuru) As I get closer to Mitsuru, I feel more heat coming from under the ground. Until, I see something glowing red, and is beating like a heart. "What''s this?" (Hayato) "I analyzed it, it''s the leader''s heart! You can kill it from here!" (Riza) "Oh really, let''s try! Flame arrow!" (Hayato) I shot the ground, but it was unscratched! "How?" (Hayato) I shot multiple times more, yet, nothing happens "How am I supposed to break this?" (Hayato) Ch 4 end. Chapter 5-Synergy How am I supposed to break this? I hit the ground with another fire arrow. *Klank!* Still, nothing is happening. "Yooooo guys, you still there?~~~" (Katachi) "Yeah, well, we can''t kill it yet!" (Mitsuru) "Then speed it uppppp~~~" (Katachi) *Sob* *Sob* Right, Tomiko is still crying....Wait! I can sense fire within her? "Why...Do I sense water in you?" (Tomiko) That''s weird, I can sense fire in Tomiko but not in any other person than myself. What if I try extracting it? I place my hand towards Tomiko "Flame arrow" (Hayato) Everything starts flashing black and white. What is going on!? *A view of a young Tomiko appears in front of Hayato* Hey...Is that? Tomiko? "Hey papa, can I play with the other kids?" (Tomiko) "Sure sweetie, just don''t get hurt." (Tomiko''s father) "Sure papa, I love you!" (Tomiko) *Three years pass quickly* What? Is this a flashback of Tomiko''s life? Also, this isn''t Japan! This is a western country! "Dad...When would I get my phone? Everyone in my class has one!" (Tomiko) "Soon sweetie, soon.." (Tomiko''s father) Hold on, Tomiko''s father isn''t doing well now, is he sick?The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. *5 months pass* "Father, it''s my birthday tomorrow, can I get a phone?" (Tomiko) "No..." (Tomiko''s father) "Why?.. You always told me soon. hmph!" (Tomiko) "I said NO." (Tomiko''s father) "But..Everyone in my class has one!" (Tomiko) Tomiko''s father slaps Tomiko so hard she fell on the ground! "What the.." (Tomiko) "I SAID NO!" (Tomiko''s father) "But..." (Tomiko) "GO BACK TO YOUR ROOM!" (Tomiko''s father) * 1-day passes, it''s Tomiko''s birthday* "Father, I''m sorry." (Tomiko) "....He is here" (Tomiko''s father) "Who is he? A clown?!" (Tomiko) *Someone opens the door slowly, he is wearing a suit and a fedora* "Take a seat, Mr Bota." (Tomiko''s father) "Thank you, Mr Hajinaru." (Bota) "So, did you make up your mind?" (Hajinaru) "Yes, I want to pay" (Bota) *Bota gives Hajinaru 100K yen* "Dad, that''s a huge amount! We are rich!" (Tomiko) "Tomiko, Go with the man" (Hajinaru) "Is it a present?" (Tomiko) "No. I sold you" (Hajinaru) "You...What?" (Tomiko) *Hayato vomits* "WHAT! THAT ASSHOLE!" (Hayato) *Bota grabs Tomiko''s arm, snatching her away* *Tomiko struggles* "Hajinaru, I''m afraid we have to use the drug" (Bota) *Hajinaru brings a needle, and injects it into Tomiko''s arm* *Tomiko falls into a coma, and is taken by Bota* *Hayato arrives into the house of Bota, Tomiko and Bota are sitting on the couch* "Why did you buy me?" (Tomiko) "Your father was an evil man, he wanted to sell his daughter for pleasure purposes" (Bota) "Did you buy me for pleasure?" (Tomiko) "No, I want you to live an ordinary life." (Bota) "I see" (Tomiko) "Also, open your hands and close your eyes, I have a gift" (Bota) *Bota hands her a brand new phone* "Open your eyes" (Bota) "WHAT! OH MY GOD!" (Tomiko) "You wanted one, right?" (Bota) "Thank you soooo much!" (Tomiko) "Now now, We don''t want to be late to school tomorrow, now go to sleep." (Bota) "Yes, thank you, sir!" (Tomiko) *A few months pass and Tomiko got transported into Mamulka with the others* That was one hell of a past. *Sob* *Sob* Hey, I returned! "Your past is acceptable" (Tomiko) "I saw yours too, it was...sad" (Hayato) Let me try extracting fire out of her again "Flame arrow" (Hayato) "Poseidon''s quiver" (Tomiko) What! Is she also trying to extract water out of me! *Additional style, synergy move: Spear of steam* "Spear..of steam" (Both of them) A spear forms on the ground, the tip is made out of flames while the handle is made out of water *Hayato tries to pick it up, but he fails* *Both of them try to pick it up, they are able to hold it* "I see, so we mixed our elements" (Tomiko) "Yes, now let''s do this once and for all!" (Hayato) Ch 5 end. Chapter 6-Escape "Let''s do this, once and for all!" (Both of them) *They strike the core with the spear* There it is! A crack! We can do this! *Leader hp: 25%* *Get out of there! It is summoning smaller sentients to heal itself!* (Riza) As we approach the exit of the cave, we hear a sound. "Bwaaarb" A small sentient appeared in front of us! It had an eerie looking blue eye! "Is this a sentient?" (Tomiko) "I think so" (Hayato) "Bwwwwwwwww" The sentient shot a quick laser from its eye, which can''t be seen by the human eye! luckily, it missed and hit a rock, melting it to only ashes! "Holy shit!" (Hayato) The sentient looks at Hayato. "Bwwwwwww!" The sentient fires its beam! But! Gets blocked by constantly evaporated water! "This isn''t time to stand around! kill it!" (Tomiko) "Right!" (Hayato) "Flame arrow!" (Hayato) *Hayato shoots the arrow right into the sentient''s eye, disabling it from shooting its beam!*The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation. "Bw~ww~www...Brrrrr" *Watch out, take cover!* (Riza) I hurriedly search for a pillar to stand behind, but there are none! "BRRRAAAAAAAA" The sentient self destructs, destroying all inner features of the cave, except the core (What''s this, am I not dead?) I open my eyes to see a wall of water protecting Tomiko and I "Wall of Atlantis!" (Tomiko) "I see, you saved me, thank you" (Hayato) *Hey lovebirds, go out of the cave now or you would die!* (Riza) We swiftly escape the cave and we are met with thousands of Sentients! "Bwwwwww" (Most of the Sentients) (Oh crap! It''s gonna shoot its beam on us!) "Odin''s armour!" (Mitsuru) "Harmonic sharing!" (Katachi) Our legs started glowing as it did to Mitsuru! We know what to do now! "Dodge!" (Hayato) A stream of beams showered on us, and we were barely able to keep up! "ggggggEEEAAAAAAAAAAAA" (Leader) (Oh Fuck, the leader is going to hit us with beams too!) (This is bad, think, think!) The sky turns purple again, and our hearts were filled with fear "Bwwwwww" (The other half of the Sentients) "Is this where we die?" (Tomiko) *Hold on right there!* (Riza) "You want us to group up and not move?" (Hayato) *Exactly!* (Riza) "We are gonna die anyway, so we might as well do it" (Mitsuru) Beams start falling! *Annnnnnd* (Riza) A beam moves towards us, we are gonna die! *Now!* (Riza) We get teleported back to the castle! We can see the same beam incinerating the ground! "Phew...We are still alive.." (Tomiko) "I know..." (Hayato) *We are gonna pursue it again tomorrow, rest for now.* (Riza) We hear footsteps "G~G~GUYS!" (Familiar voice) It was Aiko, and she was crying... "Aiko! We missed you!" (Hayato) "i~i~i''m just glad you guys are fine...waaaaaah" (Aiko) "Don''t worry about us, we can win this!" (Hayato) *Guys...we got bad news..* (Riza) "What is it?" (Katachi) *The turtle, it blended in with other caves and we can''t find it anymore!* (Riza) "That damn turtle!...." (Mitsuru) *We are going to search for it tomorrow, so you can rest more!* (Riza) "I''m gonna go to sleep, this was too tiring!" (Mitsuru) (I sort of agree, it is pretty late right now) (Wait, does that mean I''m going to sleep in Aiko''s room again? maaaan, this is too good) Ch 6 end. Chapter 7-Previous heroes "This is an order until Riza finds the turtle, each of you would train under previous heroes that failed to kill the leaders" (King) "Your carriage is ready outside, get ready and get in them" (Guard) "I see, but what about Aiko?" (Katachi) "Aiko is also going to see the previous ice hero, maybe she can learn from him" (King) "Really?! Thank you, my lord!" (Aiko) "Now now, let''s not waste time" (King) "Yes sir!" (Everyone) The guards lead us to the carriage, they start transporting us one by one. Katachi dropped in a land full of dead trees. "Maaaan, Katachi is lucky. His teacher is a lady." (Mitsuru) *Tomiko punches Mitsuru* "What are you saying, idiot!" (Tomiko) Mitsuru dropped in an old farm (Wait a second, Mitsuru''s teacher is a lady too? I bet he is happy right now.) Only Tomiko, Aiko and I remain in the carriage. The air is filled with an awkward aura. Aiko dropped in a laboratory, A man with a cheeky smile waves at her she waves back. "Well, it''s nice that we are going to train." (Tomiko) "Yeah, this will help us kill that damn turtle" (Hayato) "Your drop is here" (Guard) "Who''s is it?" (Tomiko) "Both of you, fire and water teachers are married" (Guard) "Oh, I see" (Hayato) We drop into an old farm, it looks as any other farm would look. A man stands in our way. His eyes were dim black. His heart feels as if it felt hatred from god itself. He looked like someone who would rip your eyes out and eat them and he had this eerie scar running across his neck. He broke the silence with a word. "Hey" (Man) "h-hi" (Hayato) The man cracked a pure laugh, so pure it removed my accusations. "Karen, they are here!" (Man) A lady responds from inside the house "I''m coming sweetie, give me a second" (Lady) "I am jack Samson, I came from another world, like you!" (Jack) "Hey, i-i''m Hayato, I came from Japan I guess" (Hayato) Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel."And I am Tomiko. Also from Japan hehe" (Tomiko) "Ahaha, I see, well, aren''t you a nice couple?" (Jack) Tomiko blushes "Wa! No! We are not a couple!" (Tomiko) "Hahaha" (Jack) The lady approached us as this conversation happened "Hey there! I am Karen Petersburg, nice to meet you! Jack and I came from Britain!" (Karen) "Nice to meet you!" (Both Tomiko and Hayato) "Why are we standing out here, come on, get inside the house" (Karen) "Yeah sure.." (Tomiko) We slowly enter the house. It is nicely polished from the inside. "Here, sit on the chairs, I prepared dinner!" (Karen) We take a seat, Jack sits opposing us "So, tell me your story." (Jack) I clearly describe all events that happened until now. "I see, well, you already discovered synergies, but still. you being unable to defeat the turtle means you lack experience." (Jack) "Well, we are here to teach you more about your abilities! And, you will learn more about synergies!" (Karen) "I see." (Hayato) "Well, what are you waiting for, eat your food before it gets cold" (Karen) "Right.." (Tomiko) We dig our way through the delicious curry. Although Karen is British, she cooked a really nice masterpiece that is this curry! "Well, we will start training tomorrow, so go to bed and sleep well, ok?" (Karen) "Ok." (Hayato) (i-it''s a shared room....Tomiko and I will sleep in the same room... Well, whatever, let me ignore this awkwardness and sleep for tomorrow) "Good night, Tomiko" (Hayato) "You too, Hayato" (Tomiko) *Meanwhile* "Sir, did you have Ice powers too?" (Aiko) "Yes!" (Man) "Ouch, my back, it hurts!" (Aiko) "This is what I have to do, sleep well!" (Man) Aiko faints and drops to the ground. blood is spraying out of her open back. Ch 7 end. Chapter 8-Training "Try to channel your fire throughout your body. There is a chance he contacted you already." (Jack) "Who is he?" (Hayato) "The fire king. The first heroes were called kings because of their strong energy manipulation. Things didn''t go well, so the fire king contacts all his descendants and guides them." (Jack) (I think he means that spirit that once spoke to me in my dream...) "Now Hayato. Depending on what you told me the other day. You relied too much on Flame arrow, try using your other moves." (Jack) "Fire apple!" (Hayato) A blazing apple drops on the ground. "Hayato, shoot it with Flame arrow." (Jack) "Flame arrow!"
