《Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword》
1. A Girl from the Plains
He was a big fan of the game Fire Emblem since young. It was the first game he bought instead of choosing pokemon when he was inside the game store. But that was a choice that he never regreted once in his entire life.
Shunsuke Akira, he was a 17 years old highschool student. He finished every Fire Emblems games that came out on the market. The game he liked the most was the first one that came out when he was child and the first one for him, even though they released 7 versions before he was born.
Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword
It was a tactical-rpg that controls over more than 20 units moving turn-by-turn. The game setting started after you wrote your name/age/gender. The MC wokes up in a bed with Lyn next to him, one of the main character of the game.
Akira finished more than a hundred of times the game, he knew everything. The setting with all the characters, all the strategy to capture the enemy named character, the support setting making couples in the ending, the most efficient weapons, he was truly an expert when it comes to Fire Emblem.
Tonight, he wanted to restarted the game. He choosed the hard mode and directly started playing. He wanted to read once again the story between the characters, he loved every characters within the game without exception. It was like his daily drug before sleeping.
After playing for around three hours, his eyes started to close without noticing it. He forget to make a save point, but his eyes were closing against his will and started sleeping.
* * * * *
When Akira woke up, he noticed that he wasn''t in his room but in a little house made by woods. Wondering why and how did he even changed the decoration of his house, he slowly turned his head, a woman suddenly appeared in his field of views.
Akira was shocked. The woman standing in front of him was a beauty. She had green long hair attached by a ponytail and with beautiful jade pupils, she stared at Akira. He knew that woman. There is no way Akira who was a big fan of Fire Emblem could not know her.
She was Lyn.
Lyn was born in the SacaenPlains. Her parents, Hassar, chieftain of the Lorca tribe, and Madelyn, daughter of Lord Hausen of Caelin, were killed by bandits before the beginning of the game. She was named after her maternal grandmother. She lives alone until she finds the MC lying on the ground. Upon meeting the MC, she decides to follow him or her in the interest of training her sword skills and avenge her tribe, who were all killed by bandits.
Akira was completly dazzed and stared at Lyn as if he had seen a ghost making Lyn tilting her head and say.
"I found you unconscious on the plain. I am Lyn of the Lorca tribe. Youare safe now."
Akira still didn''t answered. He only pinched his cheek and after realising that this was really not a dream, he laughed before murmuring.
"Are you kidding me right..."If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Akira''s body trembled. He wasn''t scared but totally excited about it. He finally had the chance to got the experience of the story though his own body! He wanted to shout in joy but restrained himself from doing so. Lyn misunderstood Akira''s expression and asked.
"Can you remember your name?"
Akira finally regained his composure, he noticed that Lyn was still curious about his whereaboutsand finally opened his mouth.
"Shunsuke Akira."
With only a short sentence, Akira introduced himself. In the game setting, the main character didn''t really talked a lot. It was only for the first presentation then the main character become a third people watching the fight and controlling the others characters they encountered. He didn''t really knew what to say except his name and it was rather complicated to explain the truth.
"What an odd-sounding name. But pay no mind. That''s a good name."
It was excatly the same sentance written in the game making Akira silently laughed within his mind. Lyn continued to asked him another question after another bombarding him without waiting the answer.
"I see by your attire that you are a traveler. What brings you to the Sacae plains? Would you like to share your story with me?"
It was also a sentence from the game, what should Akira answer? Back in the game bandits should attack the village soon. After recollecting his memories he said.
"I came here looking for you. Lyn, daughter of Caelin."
This time it was Lyn that showed an atonished expression. She knew about Caelin but she never heard that the lord of the land, Hausen having a daughter. She thought fora short momentthen asked with curiosity.
"What do you mean?"
Akira stared at her without saying anything. Actually he didn''t really knew what to say except that, but before he could open his mouth once again, someone entered in the house.
"Miss Lyn! The bandits are launching an attack to the village!"
''That''s the event!'' After hearing the village chief report, Akira asked.
"Do you have a weapon for me? I can help you to defend the village."
"What? You want to help? Well, can you use a weapon?"
"Yes, I can only defend myself though."
''What a strange man...'' Lyn thought. Lyn''s village didn''t had real skilled warrior, She didn''t mind about one more hand and said.
"Ok, wait there I''ll take a weapon for you."
She quickly left and came back after few seconds and throw him two thin shabby swords.
"Sorry, I can''t give you something better than this. It was one of the bandits'' weapon that I took few days ago."
Akira could only sigh after watching the state of the sword. He grabbed it and a board appeared in front of him.
*Ding*

Akira closed the message board andinstantly shouted in his mind ''Show Status'' then another board appeared.

"Then shall we go?"
Lyn asked but she didn''t even wait for the answer and left the house. ''This is what we call... A new enjoying adventure?'' With a faint smile Akira left the house and followed Lyn. He was excited but at the same time strangely shaken by what happened after he woke up.
2. No longer a game
Author note:Hey everyone! I''m finally starting the Fire Emblem works. It was really hard to find a good opening uhuhuh.... I also love this game as much as you guys, that''s why I didn''t wanted to mess up with the story. I hope you enjoy the chapter!
(MUST READ: I add 3 unique skill to the mc, Recruit, Promote and Command. The skill description? You''ll know soon enough~)
*Clang* *Stab*
¡°Now! shoots the arrows!¡±
*Schhwaff**Schhwaff**Schhwaff*
Countless arrows were flying to the enemies. From the entrance of the village¡¯s door, piles of corpses were lying on the ground. The bandits getting closer and closer running to the village¡¯s entrance. Before they could even notice that it was a trap, the villagers were hiding from the side, Akira shouted.
¡°Everyone push them now!¡±
Right after Akira¡¯s shout, dozens, no twenty villagers were running with wooden shields and wooden spears towards the bandits. Only young men were in the front line while old-aged man and women were shooting arrows from the fences of the village¡¯s entrance.
*Schhwaff* *Clang* *Schhwaff* *Stab* *Schhwaff*
It was their first time defending the village. Not a long time ago, those villagers were only waiting until the bandits came looting everything and didn¡¯t defend themselves against them. Today was different. A new traveler joined them and helped them to defend the villagers. Where is, he coming from? Who¡¯s that young man? Why is he helping them? They didn¡¯t really care. The only thing they need to know, was that for the first time, they finally fight instead of running for their lives.
¡°Akira! They¡¯re coming from the back!¡±
Lyn¡¯s voice could be heard. Akira turned his head behind and thirty bandits were coming from the back. ¡®Not good¡¯ Akira thought. The front line was already hard to manage, but now even the back line is getting attacked. ¡®What difficulty is that? Extreme?¡¯ Nobody could answer him, and it was not the time to think about it. Akira who was only managing the fight until now finally unsheathed his sword and shouted.
¡°Front line retreat! Lyn command them! Half of the villagers that still can fight come with me!¡±
Without wasting any time, Akira rushed towards the bandits. His body was trembling the whole time. Even now he¡¯s still trembling, but every time that he started trembling, he watched the young girl who was at the same age as him. She was trying her best to defend her beloved village. That gave him enough strong and fighting spirit to suppress his fear of death and charge towards the bandits.
¡°Keep going! The victory is near!¡±
To be honest, Akira wasn¡¯t even good with sword skill. Even though he borrowed a sword from Lyn, he never used a sword until now. All he could do was to defend himself and finish off the enemy from the back. ¡®I¡¯m still at the first chapter, I don¡¯t want to die yet! Not before I see the ending of the game!¡¯ That was his only thought while fighting. It was his way to fight against the fear of death and to have enough motivation. How could he fear death when he finally came into the world he had always loved? The last boss was a huge dragon, if he is simply scared of bandits then this is already game over for him in this world.
¡°Kill that stupid brat! He¡¯s the one who command them!¡±
A huge muscled man with blond hair and green bandana appeared in front of Akira. Obliviously, Akira knows that man. He was Batta. The first boss of the chapter. His surname was Batta the Beast. He was the first boss of the tutorial. ¡®Even though he¡¯s only the first boss¡What the hellis that pressure?¡¯ Akira stepped back upon seeing Batta. There is no way he could win against such a monster when he couldn¡¯t even fight a simple bandit in a one versus one. Batta slowly approach Akira while grumbling.
¡°Hey brat! Who do you think you are? You think you can stand up to Batta the Beast?¡±
*Boom!*
Akira quickly dodged the axe from Batta¡¯s attack, but even though he dodgedit, he heard the system message announcing inside his mind and he could see his health points go down.
| Critical Hit! You lost -90 health points. |
''Are you seriously kidding me? He didn''t even touch me dude!'' Akira was cursing this stupid game system. In fact, the axe only sent him flying few meters away because of the shockwave. Just with the shockwave alone, he lost 90% of his health points! Sweats was startingto drop from his forehead. ''It is because of my pyjama? Or my agility that is too low?'' He noticed back then when he opened his status that he had -1 armor and 3 agility. He curses himself for the first time because he bought a pajama in this kind of world. Once again, Batta lift his axe and was about to finish him. ''What should I do? Damn I still didn''t meet Eliwood and Hector!'' The world suddenly stopped. It was like a slow motion, the slow motion you experienced before dying. Akira heard the sound of his heartbeats accelerating more and more. he closed both of his eyes.This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Akira was going to die but he didn''t regret it. At least he tried his best and even though it was short. He enjoyed it.
*ba-dum* *ba-dum* ba-dum* *ba-dum*
*Stab*
He heard a stabbing sound. ''Did I die? I''m dead?'' When he thought that he maybe already died, he didn''t feel any pain. He started to slowly open his eyes... And everything became clearer.
In front of him, Lyn stabbed Batta. Lyn saved him. Not only she saved him, but the feeling he received after Batta died was a warm and relaxing feeling. Akira already guessed what was this feeling. The system rang and after seeing the message he confirmedthis feeling.
|
You have leveled up! You are now level 2.
+50 health points
+2 Strength
+1 Technique
+2 Agility
+1 Luck
|
Not only did he leveled up, but his stats also improved a lot. But he still curses in his mind the pajama that he wore.''This stupid pajama almost killed me...'' Akira probably won''t ever wear a pajama anymore. Well after thinking about it, now that he''s in this world, who cares about sleeping with a pajama? While Akira was having such thought, He finally realize that the fight was finally over.''We passed the first stage...''Akira deeply sighed.
Looking at his surrounding, he couldn''t even call that a victory.''We suffered more than I thought...''29 people died in the fight. Most of them were aged-man and women who get ambushed from the back line. He couldn''t think that it was a game anymore. If it wasn''t for their sacrifices, the village might already have been destroyed. Still, he didn''t want to think that it was a good plan.
Akira blame himself. It was his fault if they died. It was because he didn''t command them correctly. He was disgusted by his own weakness.Back in the game a lot of villagers died from bandits'' attacks, but since it was a game, he didn''t really care. Now it''s different...It was no longer a game. It was like he killed them by his own hands.
Lyn noticed that Akira was deep in thought. She understood why he was feeling down. After all he was the one leading them. The only thing she could do for him was to tap his shoulder. She didn''t say anything. She was just watching him deep in thought.
Akira finally noticed Lyn who was fixing him for a while and regained his sense. Now that the first stage has been cleared, he still need to go to the second stage. He was the only one who could save this world. He was the only one to know what will happen later.
He walked towards the center of the village. Most of the villagers were collecting the body. They wanted to bury their comrades who died on the fight. He stopped them and after he totally calmed down shouted.
"Listen to me! Today was our victory! We lost a lot of friends...But we survived! For once we fought! But this is only the beginning! What should we do? How could we get a better life? I will tell you. We have only two choice! The first choice is to stay here. Of course, most of you are thinking like that. But I think the best choice is to leave this place. I know that this place was once your home. But look at this village! Every day bandits are attacking. Every day we''re suffering from their cruelty and barbarism! Do you really want that kind of life for your children? Do you really think this is the best life you can get? I don''t think so! Follow me! I will guide you to a new home. I swear on my name to protect all of you! Are you willing to follow me? Now choose! Stay here or come with me! That''s all I had to say. Thanks, everyone for listening to me."
All the villagers could only look down on the ground. What Akira said was harsh. But he didn''t lie, on the contrary he was saying the truth. They have been living there for years. They couldn''t even count the numbers of times the bandits attacked them. They could only look the ground with pained and frustrating expression. Akira was right. For the first time, they fought together and survived. If Akira wasn''t there for them, they would probably has died on that attack. They were all normal villagers until now. They didn''t had experience on fighting nor good weapons to defend themselves. If it wasn''t for Akira who commanded them, then no one here could have survived.
One of the villager stepped forward. It was a young girl, she was the one who gave Akira the strength to fight during the battle. Akira glance at her. The girl glance at him. Then Akira ask.
"What''s your name?"
"J-Jeanne..."
Akira nodded, he walked next to her and tapped her back then shouted.
"Everyone! Did you see this girl? She was the one who save you not me! She stepped forward because she wants to change her life and yours! Don''t you have shame? A young girl that much determined and yet you want to stay here waiting for your death? Answer me! Do you really wish to stay here?"
The villagers didn''t say anything, no they couldn''t say anything. Akira was once again right. They all clench their fists and were all grinding their teeth with an anger face and a frustrated expression. They were blaming themselves for being such cowards.
Once again, another one stepped. Then another one, until that all of them stepped forwards. They wanted to change. They wanted to have a better life instead of staying in this hellish place.
Akira understood them. He already knows somehow their feelings. They were no longer villagers but soldiers with strong fighting spirit. He took the axe from Batta''s body and shout at them.
"Take weapons! Fight for the freedom! Fight for a new bright future! Fight for a new tomorrow!"
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''WUOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Lyn was dumbfounded. It has been more than five years that she was trying to lead them but she never succeeded to change their opinions. Akira succeeded on what she had failed after his first meeting with them. She could only stare Akira with admiration. Akira didn''t know at that time, but deep in her mind, Lyn decided to follow him no matter where they go.
Author note: I hope you enjoyed the story and keep reading it!
3. Bulgar City
Author note: Here''s the chapter 3... Well some people already read it throught~ I will update soon the chapter 4-5 as I can. I hope you enjoyed the chapter 1-3 since I did my best uhuhuh...
Jeanne is a poor villager from the countryside.
She is part of the member of the Lorca tribe situated in the Sacae plains.
Hervillage has been destroyed by the bandits living near the region and after migrating to the Sacae plains, where she met Lyn and became part of the Lorca tribe.
The Sacae plains is a home to nomadic tribes. They are famed swordsmen, as well as horse riders who usually fight from horseback. Saceans are also known to never lie, and to always keep to their word. This makes common people and villagers that came from others places trust the Saceans. Lyn was trusted by most of the villagers. But on the other hand, the nobles exhibit racist behavior towards themwho believesthe tribes living there to be unfit of claiming the land of the Sacae plains as their own territory.
TheSacae plains is famous for their Nomad, Archer, Myrmidon and Druid within the three famous tribes that currently leading the Sacae plains, the Lorca, the Kutolah, and the Djute.
The Kutolahtribe was one of the most powerful tribes in all Sacae. It was led by the Silver Wolf Dayanfor many years. When Biraninvaded Sacae, the Kutolah was one of the only clans to rebel against them.
The Kutolah clan was allied with the Lorcatribe before they were destroyed by the Taliver Bandits. After the war against Biran, Dayan retired as Chieftain and gave the title to Sin, the guardian of his granddaughter, Sue.
The Djutetribe was the second largest and powerful tribe in Sacaebefore they were nearly wiped out by Roy''s Army. Prior to this, the Djute tribe sided with Biran to gain more power and to wipe out the rival Kutolahtribe.
The leader of the Djute tribe was Monke. They lived primarily in the western portion of Sacaeon the Etrurianborder and were the keepers of Hanon''s Gale Bow,Murgleis.
Today, the Kutolah and Djute tribes got a report from the nomads who wasmonitoring the Sacae plains others tribes. Apparently''Batta the beast'' from the Ganelon bandits attacked the Lorca tribe.
The Ganelon banditsare a group of bandits that recently appeared near the Sacae plains. They were bandits that was attacking small village and pillaged everything inside the village, womens included. They then sell it to the slave trader that was working for them and it has been one year that this groups of bandits were roaming near the Sacae plains without worry. Their Leader, Migal decided to make a basement in the mountains and decided to regularly invade the village situated in the Sacae plains as his new slaves'' treasury.
Sadfully, Dayan, chieftain of the Kutolah clan, couldn''t help the Lorca tribe because their military forces weakened these past few years. Not only that, he was also monitoring the Djute tribes who were scheming against them. Dayan didn''t want to broke his promise with the Lorca tribe, after finally making his decision, Dayan sent hisone of his men, Guy.
Guyis a confused swordsman from Sacae''s Kutolahtribe who wishes only to be the greatest sword wielder in the world. He will do what he has to do to survive. Guy is very jumpy and stutters often as denoted in his supports with Rath, Dayan''s son.When Guy first heard about him being sent as reinforcement, he was happy. He was finally able to participate to his first battle experience. He was still young but he was aiming high. Guy also knew from Jeanne''s letters that she was living fine in the Lorca tribe. She was her childhood friend since young and when he learned that her village has been destroyed he really worried about her. Guy regretted that he couldn''t protect her that time. Now that he learned that bandits are attacking his village once again, how can he even not worry about her?
Thus, he departed to the Lorca tribe''s village without wasting anytime.
* * * *
Once Guy arrived near the village''s entrance he was shocked. Huge smoke was escaping from the village and the village was burning. He knew about the fame of the Gamelon bandits but he never expected this. Every house was burning, piles of corpses were lying on the ground.You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
It was truly a horrible sight to watch. Gladfully, Guy was an orphan and he suffered this kind of massacre more than he could count. He was used to it. Once he regained his calm, he quickly searched around the village but couldn''t find Jeanne''s whereabouts.
He noticed something strange, normally bandits won''t try to kill women, but all the corpses he found was mostly aged-man and aged-women. No children nor adults died in this incident.
Guy knew that the Lorca tribe suffered a lot and know only Lyn could manage the village, so how could they escape from those bandits? Guy wasn''t smart, so he didn''t know what to do and was at loss.
Fortunately, after searching around the whole village, he founds a letter in one of the village house. It was the letter that Guy sent to her. After searching the whole house, he finally found a hidden letter under the drawer. He quickly took out the letter and started reading it.
To my dear friend, Guy.
I know that you were probably worried about me so I write you this letter.
After the bandits'' attack, Lyn-sama decided to move to the capital.
With all the villagers, we followed her to the capital. I hope to meet you again there.
Jeanne.
Once Guy finished reading the letter, he directly headed without waiting to Bulgar, Sacae''s capital.
* * * * *
Bulgar is in the North-East of the Sacae plains.It is the largest city in Sacaeand a major center of commerce betweenEtruria,Illia and Biran. It is renowned for being a free city without a ruler, despite being a capital city.
Lynvisits Bulgar together with Akira to prepare for their journey.
They finally traveled the whole Sacae plains after defeating the bandits that attacked her village.
"Akira!Over here! This is Bulgar, the biggest city in all of Sacae. We should purchase supplies for our journey."
"Yes, yes stop being so agitated... What are you? A 6 years old child?"
Akira was sighing deep in his mind. After experiencing the life-and-death situation happened at the Lorca tribe village, he decided to take villagers that could fight and drag them with him. He never thought that the villagers inside the Lorca tribes was composed of more than a hundred of people. Even so, he decided to pick few of them with him and after they finally arrived in Bulgar, he only took fewpeople thatcould fight with him. Right now they were looking for the supplies for the journey. Suddenly a voice could be heard from the side.
"Oh, my heart! What a dazzling vision of loveliness!"
"Hm?"
Lyn turned her head towards the voice. It was a beautiful looking knight with green armor gear. He walked towards Lyn while starting a drama comedy.
"Wait, O beauteous one! Would you not favor me with your name? Or better yet, your company?"
Lyn that still didn''t knew what this buddy wanted from her and asked.
"Where are you from, sir knight, that you speak so freely to a stranger?"
The beautiful looking knight was trying to find the goods words and tried to appeal her.
"Ha! I thought you¡¯d never ask. I am from Lycia. I hail from the Caelin canton, home to men of passion and fire!"
"Shouldn¡¯t that be ''home to callow oafs with loose tongues''?"
Lyn corrected him without understanding what he was talking about.
"Ooooh¡ You¡¯re even lovely when you¡¯re cruel."
After finally noticing that he was trying to flirt her, she finally turned her head and left whileshowing a disappointed expression.
"Let¡¯s go, Akira I have nothing more to say."
The knight who noticed that Lyn wasn''t affected by his charm panicked.
"Wait! Please¡"
Suddenly, another knight appeared.
"Sain! Hold your tongue!"
Theknight that hadappeared next to himwas as handsome as the other knight,he was wearing a red amor gear with brownish-orange hair. When Sain finally noticed that Kent was next to him, a complicated expression was shown on his face.
"Ah, Kent! My boon companion! Why so severe an expression?"
As Sain had said, Kent was next to him with a severe expression and was shouting at him.
"If your manner were more serious, I wouldn¡¯t have to be so severe! We still have a mission to complete, Sain!"
"I know that. But how could I remain silent in the presence of such beauty? It would have been discourteous!"
Sain who leisurely answered while looking at Lyn who was leaving said.
"What do you know about courtesy!?"
Kent retorted.
"Excuse me! You¡¯re blocking the road. If you would be so kind as to move your horses¡"
Lyn who noticed that she went to the wrong way came back and said. The knight directly bowed as apologize and move the way.
"Of course, my apologies¡"
"Thank you. You, at least, seem honorable enough."
After hearing Lyn answer, he finally turned his head and glance at Lyn then suddenly ask.
"Hm? Pardon me, but¡ I feel we¡¯ve met before."
Lyn tilted her head and ask as if she didn''t heard what he actually said. There is no way Lyn who never traveled until now could be famous.
"I beg your pardon?"
"Hey! No fair, Kent! I saw her first!"
Sain who misunderstood Kent''s behavior complained. Lyn who could finally no longer listen to them said.
"Tsk! It seems there are no decent men among Lycia¡¯s knights! Let¡¯s go, Akira!I¡¯ve run out of patience!"
Obliviously, Akira already knew who those knights were. He was just laughing in his mind until now and slowly followed Lyn as she left.
"Wait, please! It¡¯s not like that! ¡¡ Sain, you lout!"
¡°Huh? Not like that? I thought you were¡¡±
"I am NOT you!!! Come, we must follow her! I suspect she might be¡ª"
Noticing that both Lyn and Akira already left the place Kent also followed them.
"Be what? She¡¯s our mission? You¡¯re joking! Wait!"
Author note: I corrected most of the grammar errors from chapter 1 to 3 so normally you should enjoyed it but if there are still some errors just tell me...
4. Sword of Spirits
Author note: Hey guys, here''s the chapter 4! I will probably release the chapter 5 the day after tomorrow, depending on how I can write the next chapter. I hope you enjoy the story! Mani Katti~ I prefer the killing edge though lmao
A small altar lies on the outskirts of Bulgar. This ancient temple, sacred of the people of Sacae, has long been known for its powerful bond to the world of spirits. Before starting their journey, our travelers Lyn and Akira followed by Jeanne and 10 others old villagers from the Lorca tribe. come here to pray for their well-being. Lyn¡¯s hand directed towards the temple said.
¡°Akira, hold a moment, and allow me a short detour. There is a sacred sword enshrined in an altar east of here. The people of Sacae go there to pray for safety at onset of a long journey.¡±
Akira couldn¡¯t help but laugh deep in his mind. There was only one reason for them to come there.
The Mani Katti
The Mani Katti is a highly versatile katana-like sword. Bound solely to Lyn, this sword is one that is substantially formidable, with its true power resting within its dynamic usefulness. Bearing a close semblance to the Rapier, the only marked difference sets the two blades apart from each other is the fact that the Mani Katti boosts its wearer¡¯s Critical Hit chance by 20%, a percentage that is for a sword of its durable ilk, startlingly high. To further add on to the sword¡¯s strengths, it is also one that is especially effective against both armored and horse-mounted units alike. The Mani Katti is the sister sword of the Sol Katti.
When Akira was still deep in admiration for the sacred weapon inside the ancient temple that was far away in front of him, a voice could be heard from behind.
¡°Hey! There she is!¡±
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Lyn quickly turned her head and noticed the three-people coming towards them. It was Sain, Kent and Guy. Akira already knows them since they are characters that were available back in the game.
Sain and Kent were both Cavalier and Guy was a Myrmidon. Each class had their own class skill and weapons mastery depending the class.
Sain and Kent were Cavalier, they were mounted knight using swords and spears and could even learn bow and axe mastery once promoted to Paladin. The Paladin is a horse-mounted unit that could move faster than anyone on the plains and was known to be outfitted with any melees weapon.
Guy was a myrmidon, a class that could only wield swords but even so, that class was strong enough because of their great agility and amazing speed. Once promoted, the Myrmidon become a Swordmaster and their critical strike are increased by two or sometimes three times the norm.
¡°Whew¡Finally caught up¡¡±
Sain who arrived totally exhausted said while breathing heavily.
¡°You¡ Your name is Sain, right? What are you two doing here?¡±
The one who answered her was Kent.
¡°We have ventured from Caelin, in Lycia, in search of someone.¡±
Once Kent finally finished his sentence, it was Akira who unexpectedly couldn¡¯t wait anymore and said without thinking.Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!
¡°You are here looking for Lady Lyndis right?¡±
Kent who didn¡¯t expected Akira to answer directed towards him and ask.
¡°That¡¯s correct¡Who are you sir?¡±
Akira who realize his own mistake, smile bitterly and said.
¡°Tactician and Lyn, or should I say, Lyndis¡¯ friend.¡±
Upon hearing Akira¡¯s answer, Kent was shocked. He quickly glances at Lyn and after regaining his composure and ask with a curiosity.
¡°How did you know that we were looking for Lady Lyndis sir?¡±
Since Akira already play more than a thousand of times the game, he knows every setting of the world and every dialogue that could be seen in the game. Akira answered him with a faint smile after thinking about a good setting.
¡°I am an acquaintance with Lady Madelyn, Lady Lyndis¡¯ mother.¡±
This time, it was Lyn who was amazed. She stares at Akira with curious eyes and ask with a shocking expression.
¡°Akira did you really met my mother?¡±
Akira didn¡¯t say anything and was deep in thought. It was his own mistakes to talk without thinking about butterfly effect. Now that he could no longer find an excuse for his mistake he said with a complicated expression.
¡°Yes¡Lady Madelyn asked me to look for you. That¡¯s also the reason why I was at such place when we first met.¡±
Lyn was totally shocked. Then she remembered about their first meeting. Akira said something about her being the daughter of Caelin but she never expected that it was the truth. She nodded and was about to ask something but Kent asked another question before she could even open her mouth.
¡°So, you should know about Lundgren right sir?¡±
¡°Yes, I accepted Lady Madelyn¡¯s request to protect Lady Lyndis from Lundgren.¡±
¡°I see, sir Akira, are you heading to Caelin now?¡±
¡°There is still things that needed to be done. Once everything is done, I¡¯ll be going.¡±
¡°Sir, don¡¯t you mind for Sain and me to accompany you?¡±
¡°Sure, I¡¯ll need more strength. Both of you is a plus.¡±
Kent nodded. Akira knows way too much information about Caelin, Kent thought that he must be a noble or prince with power, otherwise Lady Madelyn won¡¯t ask such a request to him. Lyn, who was listening was still on the shock. She said with a serious tone.
¡°But I have no interest in inheriting any title!¡±
¡°That¡¯s unfortunate but your granduncle Lundgren is not the sort of man to believe that. I believe the attempts on your life will persist.¡±
¡°Give it up Lady Lyndis. We have no choice but to head to Caelin.¡±
¡°Akira please, just call me Lyn.¡±
¡°I know, I know, I was just teasing you.¡±
¡°¡¡¡¡±
¡°Sorry, sorry. I won¡¯t do it again.¡±
Akira directed his glance towards Guy and Jeanne who were chatting together and ask Guy.
¡°What about you Guy? Do you want to come with us?¡±
Guy glances at Jeanne and ask hesitantly.
¡°You don¡¯t mind that I come along sir?¡±
¡°The more we are, the better it is.¡±
When everyone was finally ready to depart, they all directed towards the temple.
Meanwhile, inside the ancient temple.
Glass: ¡°You¡¯re a fool, old man. What good¡¯s a sword if you don¡¯t use it?¡±
Priest: ¡°Use it? In combat? Sacrilege!¡±
Glass: ¡°Sacrilege? I am Glass! The gods fear my name! My swordplay is peerless! And if I want this sword, this sword I shall have! Now, get out of my way!¡±
Priest: ¡°Oof¡±
Glass charges towards the priest and sent him flying away from the throne. The priest frightened by Glass ran away and escapes through the door.
¡°Curses! Miserable spirits! I care nothing for you! I¡¯ll tear this altar down stone by stone!¡±
* * * * *
A woman suddenly came out of the temple and ran towards Akira and the group with a frightened expression on her face.
¡°I beg your pardon, My Lord. Are you heading to the east? To the altar?¡±
¡°Yes, we are indeed. You need my help to chase away the ruffians inside right?¡±
¡°How...? Are you a priest or a mage sir?¡±
¡°Well¡Maybe?¡±
¡°Uh¡?¡±
¡°Anyway, you wanted us to help you to kill the ruffians inside right?¡±
¡°Yes, my Lord. Please save the priest and take back the Mani Katti!¡±
¡°Well¡ You heard it guys?¡±
Everyone already took out their weapons and was preparing to go inside the ancient temple.

Author note: Hey guys! I hope you had a enjoying X-mas day. Here is the chapter 5. Hope you enjoy the chapter.
I do not own the picture. The picture is coming from the game.
On the previous chapter:
Before setting off on their journey, Lyn and the villagers from Lorca tribes decide to stop by an altar to pray for his group¡¯s well-being. Before they can do it, however, a group of bandits appear and attempt to take the sacred sword, the Mani Katti. A woman sees it and tells Akira and his group about it. Akira, knowing how sacred the sword is, decides to stop the ruffians¡
* * * * *
¡°Report! There are sixteen bandits inside the temple sir.¡±
Two villagers who had explored discretely inside the temple came back and reported it to Akira. Lyn, who already acknowledge Akira¡¯s plan asked while glancing at him.
¡°What should we do Akira? Should we directly attack them from the entrance?¡±
Akira who was still deep in thinking didn¡¯t said anything until the 2 others villagers who were exploring the surrounding of the temple came back.
¡°Report! There are no bandits surrounding the temple. Sir was right. There is a small crack on the wall near the west side of the temple.¡±
Akira nodded upon hearing the report and finally ordered.
¡°First group with Guy, Jeanne and 3 others villagers with me. The others will break the wall on the west side and join us.¡±
And thus, without wasting anytime they proceeded to the plan.
* * * * *
Inside the temple, Glass was sitting leisurely on the throne. He heard some noises at the temple¡¯s entrance but he didn¡¯t really mind. He expected for the Sacae¡¯s people to come to the temple and rob them. With such thought, a bandit came inside the room. Several wounds could be seen on his body. He knelt and reported to his boss about the attack they encountered.
¡°Boss! 6 people are coming soon. They are probably adventurers that come here to pray. One of them got a katana, he seems to be a warrior from the Kutolah tribe. He killed Al and El at the entrance of the temple. The others only got shabby weapons. Three of them are woman, they are all good looking so we can sell them along with the katana for a good income.¡±
Glass nodded and said with a grin appearing on his face.
¡°Prepare for the ambush! Since some visitors finally come, let¡¯s welcome them!¡±
* * * * *
When Akira and his group entered inside the temple, not a single noise could be heard. It was strange. He was confident on his plan, but he still got a bad feeling about it. Once they finally reach the throne''s room, A thin men with a longsword was sitting on the throne waiting for them. Only 2 bandits could be seen and was next to him. One on his right side and the other one on his left side. The thin men suddenly standed up and said with a loud tone.
"Welcome to my new palace! I''m Glass, the new Lord of this sacred temple.¡±
A young boy with a blue weird one-set clothing stepped forward. He was 1,72 cm tall and had black hair. He glanced at Glass and spoke with a mocking tone.
¡°New lord? You dare call yourself the lord of this sacred temple without even being able to unsheathe the Mani Katti? Pitiful ruffian.¡±
Glass¡¯s expression suddenly changed and he said while unsheathing his sword and pointed it at Akira.
¡°You dare insult me! Can you really say that in this situation? Kill them all! This guy is my prey.¡±
11 bandits appeared behind their hiding places. Some came from the curtains, others from the back, the remaining from a door to the left side. They all started surrounding Akira and his group who already somewhat guessed the ambush from Akira¡¯s plans. Guy who already unsheathed his sword directly rushed behind the group, protecting the back rear while Jeanne went in front of Akira protecting him. The remaining villagers were surrounding Akira protecting him. Akira calmly watch Glass and said with a faint smile.
¡°Do you really think that numbers are enough? I am Shunsuke Akira! Remember that last name in your mind.¡±
Right after Akira finished his sentence, a huge sound could be heard from the right side and the wall suddenly broke. Lyn, Sain, and Kent arrived with the remaining villagers who were recruited near the temple. They were numbered around thirty and rush inside the throne¡¯s room ambushing Glass and his group. Glass¡¯s face became directly pale and he shouted at Akira with murderous intent charging at him.
¡°Bastard! I won¡¯t die until I¡¯ve cut your head!¡±
Without even noticing Lyn charging at him with full speed, Glass lift his sword and was going to cut Akira¡¯s head.
*Ting*
Five centimeter before the sword touch Akira¡¯s neck, Glass sword has been parried by Jeanne. Without wasting anytime, he sent Jeanne flying to the wall and slashed Akira¡¯s body while asking.
¡°A girl who protect you, aren¡¯t you the one who¡¯s pitiful?¡±
*Ting*
Akira parried Glass¡¯s sword and with a mocking tone answered to Glass¡¯s question.
¡°Certainly, but on a battlefield, men or women are soldiers and you should not underestimate them!¡±Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
*Swoosh*
Unfortunately for him, before Glass could hear the answer from Akira¡¯s voice, his neck suddenly sent flying in the air. It was Lyn who was already closed enough to finish him without him noticing her. Lyn who killed Glass directly directed at Akira while asking about his condition. The time Lyn joined Akira, Sain, Kent and the villagers had already killed all the remaining bandits.
¡°Are you alright? Do you have any wounds? We were worried so we hurried as fast as we could.¡±
Akira who was taken aback from Lyn¡¯s questions directly answered with an embarrassing face.
¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine! People are watching us. More important than my condition, how¡¯s Jeanne?¡±
The one who directly answered Akira was Guy who was next to her and said with a relieved face.
¡°She¡¯s only unconscious. Her life isn¡¯t in danger.¡±
Akira relaxed after hearing Jeanne¡¯s condition. Excepted for her, there was no injuries and the plan perfectly worked this time. He started looking for the priest but before he could even search for him, someone came next to Lyn while asking.
¡°Ah, those clothes¡ Are you guys from the Lorca tribes? I can also see one of you from the Kutolah tribe.¡±
Lyn knew how much all the tribes respected the sacred temple. She bowed and introduced herself.
¡°I¡¯m Lyn, the chieftain¡¯s daughter. Are you hurt sir?¡±
The priest didn¡¯t expected Lyn to bow and said with a small laugh.
¡°You don¡¯t have to be that much polite. Thanks to you and your friends I¡¯m unscathed. You have my gratitude.¡±
The priest glanced at Akira and was looking at him with a complicated face. After a short moment he asked Akira.
¡°Can I ask for your name sir?¡±
Akira introduced himself and with a self-mocking tone said.
¡°I¡¯m a tactician and as you can see, I don¡¯t have any other clothes left except this hahaha...¡±
The priest finally let out a ¡°oh!¡± and nodded. Lyn on the contrary was saying in a low tone ¡°I thought it was your fighting robe so I didn¡¯t ask anything back then¡¡± while the others villagers also nodded hearing Lyn¡¯s words. Akira could only curse himself for sleeping with a pajama. He finally decided to throw away his regret and ask while looking at the priest with a please-accept-the-request face.
¡°I was wondering if you could lend me some clothes hahaha¡¡±
The priest looked at Akira and let out laughed so loud that he couldn¡¯t stop laughing and after few seconds regained his composure and said.
¡°Phfft! Sorry, I was amazed by your request you see. Of course, I don¡¯t mind lending you a robe that our temple apprentices are wearing. What color do you prefer? We have white and black one.¡±
Akira was restraining his embarrassment who was showing, and said with a enthusiastic face.
¡°A black one would be really good. If you can lend me this one, please.¡±
The priest nodded and ordered a young woman to look for Akira¡¯s clothes. Lyn who finally entered in the conversation asked to the priest with a worried expression.
¡°And the sword? Is it safe?¡±
The priest who heard Lyn¡¯s question and saw her worried expression said with a confident expression and guided them to a secret room.
¡°Yes, I have sealed the sword safely away. Until I remove my spell, the sword cannot be drawn. Now, as a token of my gratitude, I shall allow you to lay hands upon the Mani Katti. Touch the blade¡¯s pattern, and pray for a safe journey.¡±
¡°Oh, thank you so much!¡±
Lyn became excited upon hearing the priest¡¯s words and followed him with Akira. Once they arrived in a little closed room, a katana was stuck in the ground on the center of the room with a light glowing barrier surrounding it. Once the priest finished casting his spell, the light barrier faded and they entered inside the room.
Lyn slowly touch the sword. Suddenly, a bright light surrounding the katana, becoming brighter that it enlightened the whole room. Lyn who was surprised by the light spoke.
¡°What? Did¡ª ¡°
¡°The sword¡ It¡¯s¡glowing.¡±
The priest who couldn¡¯t help but watched it with curious eyes while saying with an unbelieved face.
¡°Ah! Hm¡ It¡¯s the power of the spirits. Lyn, they have looked into your soul, and they call out to you.¡±
Lyn who didn¡¯t know what the priest was saying asked.
¡°What does that mean?¡±
The priest looked at Lyn with another eye and said with a respected tone.
¡°You are its rightful owner. You are to wield the Mani Katti.¡±
Lyn who was shocked by the priest¡¯s words refute him with a shocking tone.
¡°No¡ I can¡¯t¡ I couldn¡¯t¡¡±
The priest shook his head and said with an affirmative tone.
¡°It is the sword¡¯s wish. If you require proof, draw it from its sheath.
¡°Um...¡±
Lyn who hesitated for a short moment finally decided to unsheathe the katana.
¡°It came out¡effortlessly.¡±
The priest in admiration, said to Lyn with a happy expression showing on his face.
¡°I never dared hope that I might meet the wielder of the Mani Katti in my life. I am indeed fortunate to see your sword reach your hands.¡±
Lyn looked at the priest eyes with an amazed face.
¡°My¡sword?¡±
¡°Yes, this sword is yours. The spirits accepted you as the only wielder.¡±
While both were admiring the unprecedented event, Akira was watching something else. There was a strange book with ¡®Anima magic guide''writing in Japanese on it. He pointed the book at the priest and asked the priest with a curious face.
¡°¡What is this?¡±
The priest looked at the book that Akira was pointing and said with a regretful tone.
¡°This book was a gift from an old friend of mine. Unfortunately, I couldn¡¯t understand what was written inside it.¡±
Akira eyes sparkled. He asked the priest while explaining tothe priest what book it was.
¡°Sir,do you need that book? I think I can read it. It¡¯s an anima book aboutlearning magic.¡°
The priest who heard Akira¡¯s words looked at him with approving tone and said.
¡°My old friend was certainly a magician. Are you perhaps also a magician sir?¡±
Akira couldn¡¯t help but make a fake smile and said with a weird laugh.
¡°Yes¡hahaha I¡¯m learning though.¡±
The priest nodded hearing Akira¡¯s answer and said.
¡°You can take it. I don¡¯t have any use for it.¡±
Akira took the book and the message system popped inside his mind.
*Ding*
| You have learn Anima magic. |
A faint smile appeared on Akira¡¯s face. He thanked the priest and they left the secret room. Akira never expected to win 2 precious weapons instead of one. He could finally learn magic! He still need to learn the contents inside the book and meet a real magician for advice. But his mood was good. When he finally came back at the throne¡¯s room, a young girl was waiting with a black robe. He took the robe and thanked the young girl who was looking him with weird eyes. They decided to sleep inside the temple and leave on the next morning.
The adventure didn¡¯t start yet, but no one even Akira didn¡¯t know what was awaiting them soon¡
Extra :
Sain:
¡°So this is the Mani Katti¡ A blade with no equal.¡±
Lyn:
¡°This is all so unbelievable. Perhaps the most famous sword in all of Sacae¡ in my hand.¡±
Kent:
¡°It¡¯s not so strange. In fact, many legends tell similar tales¡¡±
Special blades all over the land call out to their proper owners. And yet, when I saw you draw that blade, Lyndis¡ I felt something extraordinary. That sword was waiting for you. You were meant to draw it.
Lyn:
¡°Stop it! I¡ I¡¯m nothing special!¡±
Sain:
¡°Think of it this way: Some weapons feel more comfortable in your hand, right? Well, the Mani Katti itself feels very comfortable with you. Does it make it any easier for you to accept? It doesn¡¯t appear that either of us can use it.¡±
Lyn:
¡°It¡ does feel right in my hand. A blade that only I can wield. That seems reasonable enough. I can understand that. Look at it, Akira. This is the Mani Katti. This is¡ my sword. I must care for it well.¡±
Akira:
¡°As expected of Lady Lyndis...Pffht! You better take care of it. It was hard for me to look for a good plan you know~¡°
Lyn:
¡°Akira!!! You jerk!!!¡°
* * * * *
Lundgren:
¡°What? Madelyn¡¯s daughter is still alive?¡±
Soldier:
¡°Uhh¡ Yes, Lord Lundgren. The girl is traveling with Kent and Sain and a strange tactician. What are your orders? If we let them be¡¡±
Lundgren:
¡°Bah! I¡¯ve heard that northern Bern is full of bandits. She¡¯s just a girl. She¡¯ll not survive her journey here. I¡¯m more concerned with my older brother. His life must be ended quickly. The poison¡ There must be no blunders.¡±
Soldier:
¡°Yes, m¡¯lord. He suspects nothing and continues to drink it. The marquess¡¯s death, due no doubt to ¡°sudden illness,¡± is not far off.¡±
Lundgren:
¡°Heh heh heh. Soon¡ Soon Caelin will be mine!¡±
