《The four sword master》 The four swords It was 15:00 pm in the evening and the schools were closed for the day and every student went to their homes. The sun was blazing with too much heat that made everybody get bored and tired. Two students at a school called Purple High School wearing purple uniform made their way back to their homes. "Hey Jack did we have any homeworks for today," a teenage boy called Kevin asked his friend Jack. "Yeah we did I think it was a maths homework." Jack said answering Kevin''s question. Kevin sighed and said, "man maths is the worst". "Hey there''s then store we''re looking for," Jack said ignoring Kevin''s comment and pointing at a shop at the left side of the street. At the same street an old man with a white long and big moustache that reached to his waist, wearing a black t-shirt and a black Jean saw kevin and got an odd feeling. "Uhh what is this presence I sense there could be no doubt, about it that kid over there, is he the new four swords master it isn''t possible." Said a mysterious old man doubtfully while looking at Kevin. "I should examine him." When Kevin and Jack finally reached the shop Kevin saw a poor old man who was asking for money but people ignored him. "Yo Jack I''ll be back," Kevin said as he approached the old man and when he reached the old man he gave the him all of his money and said, "here take this and go buy yourself something to eat." The old man started to hesitate but then kevin kept on insisting and the old man hesitantly took Kevin''s money. "Thank you for this may God bless you for your kindness." Kevin took of and went back to Jack once he entered the shop with his friend the old man hid in a corner and transformed into the same old man that was spying on Kevin and Jack. "Bro you are so kind hearted, as your friend I can''t eat while you are just staring so we''ll share the food," Jack said to Kevin. "Thanks bro but you can eat on your own I''ll go eat at home," Kevin said as he left Jack. After leaving with Jack, Kevin reached to his home.

"Ohh you''re back Kevin how was school?" Kevin''s mother Hikifune asked as she turned her head to Kevin''s direction. "School was fine but I''m so hungry." Hikifune quickly went into the kitchen and fetched food for Kevin. After he had eaten the food he thanked his mother and went to his room in order to do his maths homework. The next morning Kevin woke up and headed off to school but on his way to school he saw smoke in the air so he ran to its direction and he saw a house engulfed in flames. When he arrived at the scene panic was in the air as a crowd of people said that there''s a person stuck inside that burning house. Without hesitating Kevin rushed inside the house without even fully understanding the situation put his life in emanate danger in order to save the person inside. Everybody was shocked when Kevin entered the house and some even tried to stop him but failed. Everybody had thought that Kevin was also going to die but then he shocked everyone when he returned from the house with barely a scratch on him and nothing he was wearing had been burned and he was also holding a woman in his arms. The people quickly called an ambulance and when it arrived the woman was took to the hospital for treatment. "Look at that kid he''s a hero!" The people shouted as they praised Kevin. He quickly remembered that it was late so he ran as fast as light itself to get to the school on time. When Kevin reached the school he saw his friend Jack waiting for him. "Bro where were you? Why are you panting? Why do you smell like smoke? What happened to you?" Jack asked as soon as he saw Kevin. Kevin quickly explained to Jack about everything and he quickly understood. After he had explained he headed towards his locker and placed his things inside but then two bullies quickly arrived infront Kevin and Jack. "Well well if it isn''t the nerds themselves Kevin and Jack, give us your lunch money before you get hurt," one of the bullies said and warned. Kevin decided to mock the bullies by saying, "if you''re hungry why not just say so I could give you my money in peace there''s no need for all of this." One of the bully''s face turned red and he smashed Kevin''s locker shut with the back of his hand and a crowd started forming then one of the bullies said, "After school the two of you versus us and better not run you stupid nerds". The crowd made noise and wanted Kevin to accept the challenge, due to the amount pressure he decided to accept the challenge. The afterschool hit faster than usual. "Dude what''s your plan, what are we going to do now?" Jack asked in fear cause he had known that the bullies are really good at fighting. "Relax bro stop freaking out," Kevin said answering Jack''s question. At the school''s front gate many students were waiting on Kevin, Jack and the bullies to arrive, but then Kevin and Jack exited the school using the gate at the back. When they exited the school they were surprised when they found the bullies waiting for them on the same gate. "Huh we knew you would try to run away you weakling cowards," one of the bullies said to them. Instead of being worried and scared Kevin smirked and continued to mock the bullies by saying, "huh you think that we were trying to run huh don''t make me laugh we all know that you guys were trying to get away." "Why you!" "Uhm Kevin maybe you should stop mocking them." Jack whispered to Kevin. The bullies got super angry ran towards Jack and Kevin to hit them, and then Kevin said, "hey Jack you wanted me to tell you what my plan is well here it comes. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!". "What!" After shouting Kevin and Jack began to run away and the bullies chased after them. Suddenly Kevin stopped running away and sensed as if something was calling for him, shouting his name but as he tried to go towards it Jack grabbed him and told him to run away. After managing to escape from the bullies Kevin and Jack separated from each other. Kevin quickly reached to his home after getting inside hetold his mother that he was going to his room. When Kevin opened the door to his roomand entered he saw an old man with a white long and big moustache that reached to his waist and wearing a big black jacket seating down on the floor and carrying four swords wrapped with cloth. Upon seeing the oldman Kevin opened his mouth widely in order to start screaming but then the oldman quickly closed his mouth before he could screamand then said: "Relax kid I come in peace ain''t gonna do anything to you I just want to have a chit chat so don''t worry, plus I''m completely harmless." Chapter 2 Trinity After he arrived back home Kevin was shocked to find an old man in his room carrying four swords wrapped in a cloth. "I am Maki the trainer of the four swords master and the last Trinity human in existence and my only purpose for living is to protect and train the eighth four swords master." Maki the old man said as he introduced himself. "You see there are four legendary swords created for the purpose of slaying Trinity beasts, each of these swords have their own powers, these swords are called the ''Four paths of Trinity''," he began and continued, "and I know it''s a lot to take in but these swords have been passed down from the first four swords master to others for so many years all the way up to the seventh four swords master." After he had stopped he continued to talk, "The seventh four swords master sacrificed himself in order to seal away the Trinity beasts and for a thousand years peace had been restored, but now the seal keeps weakening and now it''s time for you to succeed what none of the seven four swords masters were able to achieve, now it''s your turn you are the eighth four swords master." "So you''re telling me that there are four magical swords which have been passed on from generation to generation and now I''m their user, sorry but I don''t believe all of this crap, no offence but I think that I should get you admitted to a mental hospital because you need some mental treatment and let''s hurry before it gets worse," Kevin said in a disrespectful tone. After Kevin responded the oldman tried another way to convince Kevin, "do you remember yesterday when you gave an old man money that was me in disguise." Kevin then laughed at the old man and said, "see it''s gotten worse I told you we should hurry and have you been stalking on me?" "Ok you may not believe me but I''ll prove it to you." The old man then asked Kevin if he never felt like anything was calling to him when he and his friend were being chased by those two bullies, and Kevin replied by saying "well yes I did feel something," and then the old man tells Kevin that it was the swords calling out to him. Kevin continued to laugh at the old man but then the old man unwrapped the cloth that was wrapped in the swords and Kevin began feeling like something was calling to him, needing him, that feeling was the same feeling he had felt when he was being chased by the bullies earlier. The old man wrapped the swords again and he Kevin a shock by transforming into the old man Kevin gave his money to yesterday. How..? What..? Why...? All of those questions flashed in Kevin''s head and slowly began to believe Maki but then many questions popped up. "It''s my power and the reason was to examine you," Maki said as if he had read his thoughts. "Then why was I chosen Maki" "I also don''t know why the reason I just examined you was because I felt a power that only the four swords master has and so I checked to see if you''re nice since every four swords master was nice." Kevin started to believe what the old man was saying and then asked him two questions, the first question he asked Maki if he was responsible for the burning house this morning and the bullies chasing him and Maki responded with a no.

And then Kevin asked the second question " If everything you''ve just said is true than I ask you to tell me what are Trinity beasts and Trinity humans and where do these swords come in." "Fine I''ll tell you." "Long ago there was a being called Trinity who had equal power to god and devil," Maki said as he began the story. Before time even had a name for itself there was no universe and nothing existed but Trinity wanted to create his own world, like both god and devil he wanted his own universe to be filled with living beings as well. "Nothingness huh, well I do want my own world with things and living creatures inside like God''s Heaven and Devil''s Hell, so I''ll make my own world and call it the living world" Trinity said as he planned to create the living world. After he fully decided he used his powers and created a universe with big round objects that he called planets and on almost every planet he created living species. "Huh I must have overused my powers too much I need to rest," Trinity said after he had overused his powers. Trinity then started to look for a planet he could rest at and found earth he then stared at earth and said "what a good looking world I''ve really outdone myself". After praising his creation he went to earth and when he reached the surface he saw the humans praising and thanking him for creating them and he was referred to as Lord Trinity. Trinity called upon worthy humans and and gave them powers and immortality and called those humans Trinity humans and then he gave the leader of the Trinity humans 30% of his power in a visible and physical form in order to keep balance and stability in the universe and then he disappeared and went on a deep slumber for one thousand years. Meanwhile 600 years after Lord Trinity went to his slumber the Trinity humans have kept guarding Trinity''s powers and planned on returning it when Trinity has returned. As the years went by the Trinity humans started to have some tension between one another. The leader of the Trinity humans Hishikima knew that the reason of the tension was because others didn''t want to return Trinity''s powers to him. Hishikima didn''t know who the leader of the rebellions was and decided to research with his right hand mand Koroshi whom he trusted with his life. The tension boiled up to the point where the Trinity humans were divided onto two sides, the good side and the evil rebellious side, after having been seperated war was declared, but what was a real twist was that Hishikima''s right hand Koroshi turned out to be the leader of the evil Trinity humans. The war lasted for many years and it ended after 300 years and at the end of the war Koroshi had to beat his own master who was his mentor and a father figure to him, but he never hesitated to beat Hishikima and lock him in a dungeon, after Hishikima''s imprisonment the war was won by the evil rebellious Trinity humans and Trinity''s power was under their control. With every good Trinity human being imprisoned there was no hope left. 100 years after the war Lord Trinity woke up with his powers restored and headed out to the world, he saw his creation getting more and more civilised and he became proud of his work and was more eager to see how good and nice the Trinity humans have gotten. When Trinity arrived he saw a huge castle and entered it and upon entering the castle he saw Koroshi and approached him. "Koroshi where is Hishikima I want to speak to him" Lord Trinity said while asking. Koroshi and the other Trinity humans were shocked to see Lord Trinity and his immense power overwhelmed them, they all bowed down to Lord Trinity and then Koroshi in a shocked manner said, "Uhh lord Trinity so you have awakened from your slumber but I am sorry Hishikima has been imprisoned by me, the reason for that is because Hishikima was plotting on betraying you and stealing your powers so he could rule this world." After hearing the news Lord Trinity became dissapointed at his chosen one. Koroshi then asked Lord Trinity to have lunch with them and they''ll return his powers at that dinner and he agreed. At the dinner Koroshi presented his powers to him and he became happy, Koroshi''s man brought Trinity his powers but than just as he was about to absorb his powers one of Koroshi''s man used a really powerful creation weapon and stabbed Lord Trinity in the back. Furious Trinity instantly defeated Koroshi and his men and after defeating them he restored his powers and decided to punish them by placing a curse on them. The curse was simple every person who was a member of the evil rebellious Trinity humans would get turned into beast-like monsters called Trinity beasts and he stripped all Trinity humans their immortality but the Trinity beast''s immortality remained but instead only killing them would defeat them. Lord Trinity left the living world and called a meeting with God and Devil and in that meeting Trinity signed a contract with them and that contract said: every good person that dies will go to heaven and every bad person that dies goes to hell. After signing the contract Trinity went away and never returned, but the battle still carried on in earth and all the Trinity humans including Hishikima escaped from imprisonment, he led them to war but they still lost. With no hope left Hishikima came up with the plan of creating four powerful swords that were to be wielded by four people and in order to create these swords the Trinity humans sacrificed 90% of their kind .When the swords were created the users arrived and restored hope to all but then all four of them were killed by Koroshi. After the users deaths everybody lost hope but then a normal human a man called Katash came out of nowhere and wielded all four swords. That day was the birth of the four swords master, he fought with the Trinity beasts until his death and six others came after him, the seventh four swords master sealed all of the Trinity beasts by sacrificing himself. "After 1000 years the seal is getting weaker by the day which is why we need the eight four swords master and so it''s your time to rise up Kevin ," Maki said as he finished the story. Chapter 3 Kevins path After hearing the cruel tale of Trinity beasts, Trinity humans and the four swords master, Kevin decided to train with Maki to become the eight four swords master. After Kevin''s decision Maki left the swords with Kevin and then he turned into a fly and exited the house. The following day wasn''t a school day but rather it was a Saturday and Kevin took the chance to go and train with Maki and so he went out and looked for Maki''s home at the directions he gave him before he left, and after a while he found the house and when he got there he started training with Maki. Kevin was a lost cause the first session was slashing power but he didn''t even know how to wield a sword. "You''re doing it wrong hold your sword straight, maintain your stance and then strike," Maki said scolding Kevin. He jumped back,held his sword straight and then he attacked Maki but his attack was dodged and the session was stopped. Kevin started wondering as to why Maki had stopped the training session and decided to ask him. "Your attacks are too weak, shallow, they carry no strength behind them and they speak no tale, as a swordsman your attacks should tell a story but I feel no story but you''re incredibly agile and flexible and that counts for something and its your first time using a sword so I can''t blame you, instead you''ll start up with the simple basics," Maki said showing Kevin his mistakes. They trained endlessly and Kevin struggled to lift 5 pounds of weight and ended up farting. After the weights Maki trained Kevin how to use a sword and fight dummies but Kevin lost to a dummy that wasn''t even moving. After being humiliated by a dummy Kevin started to doubt himself and asked Maki if he made the right decision to choose. "Kevin you were not chosen by me you were chosen by the swords don''t lose hope by just a quick loss, always remember that there is a beginning for everything."

Maki decided to put Kevin back to weight lifts and with a new resolve Kevin was more dedicated and so finally managed to lift 5 pounds of weight and got super excited. Maki was impressed and he saw Kevin''s potential for growth and even he was frightened, Kevin realised that he had to go back home or else his mom would be angry at him and so he told Maki that he will be back tommorow but before he left he remembered something and asked Maki a question"Hey old man you once said something about Trinergy and to be honest I''m quite curious, what is Trinergy?" "Huh for a person who can only lift a 5 pounder you really want to know a lot don''t you, I''ll tell you about that once you''ve proved yourself." Maki said answering Kevin''s question. The next day Kevin went to train with old man Maki again the whole day and surprisingly Kevin improved a bit, it turned out that Kevin didn''t sleep yesterday but rather he was training. Monday came and Kevin went to school and when he got there the two bullies arrived to them and started to harass them. "If it isn''t Kevin who ran away from us last week Friday the coward in the flash". At Kevin, Jack and the bullies location a crowd of people started forming and the school kids started laughing at Kevin for running away from the bullies at Friday, Kevin felt really embarrassed and pissed off and to add fuel on fire one of the bullies grabbed Kevin by his clothes. At that moment Kevin''s rage reached a point to where he could barely hold himself back plus he was already angry about the fact that he didn''t sleep much yesterday so he harshly removed the bully''s hand than he said, "Enough!! I''m not in the mood to deal with you two so you better get out of my sight now." "Or what." "Or this," Kevin said as he crushed the bully''s wrist. AAHHH!! The bully screamed in pain and longed for Kevin to release him and as if Kevin felt his cry he released him and walked away. Being worried Jack followed Kevin and asked him why he was so angry but Kevin decided to ignore Jack''s question. After school ended for the day Jack told Kevin that they should hurry if they want to quickly arrive at their favourite food shop but instead of going to the food shop with Jack, Kevin decided Jack to leave him. "Hey Uhm Jack sorry but I got somewhere important I need to go to so we''ll just hangout later and I hope that you don''t get any hard feelings about this." Kevin said as he started to walk away. "Okay then how about I escort you to where you''re going and we can you know chat on the way there," Jack suggested to Kevin. "Sorry bro but this is something only concerning me so later," Kevin responded as he left. This didn''t bother Jack at all cause nobody understood Kevin more than he did, but as this kept on continuing gradually Jack started feeling lonely and had thoughts that Kevin had found new friends and is planning on ditching him. After three whole weeks of training with Maki Kevin''s body started to show changes, it became visible that he was training. Jack didn''t mind any of this but what really bothered him was the fact that his best friend in whole world choose not to tell him that he was training. This bothered Jack cause what is there to hide when you training your body, was he embarrassed to tell me about it? Is he trying to impress some girl? Or there''s another motive behind all of this? These are all the questions that Jack asked himself and had no answers to them but beyond all else he was happy for his friend.
