5 Their Story: The future hero’s story

Silver rain in the night sky

But that was only due to theoff it

In reality, they were chunks of ice being dropped froh to annihilate anything on the ground, the devil’s strategy that sent two arht now, it wasthrough the rain of destruction with light footsteps

And following behind those footsteps are indiscriminate destruction

But the destruction never reached that small frahtest deviation fronisablethat path while s

Everyone held their breath

The screaone now All that could be heard was the sound of the silver rain’s destruction

How much more time passed since then?

“What the hell”

Soh the silver rain of nightround after slipping through the violence oh-so-easily clenched my fist as I stared at her back

I knew perfectly ho she was

My exact counterpart

If I was No 1, the foremost, then she was No 1000 or the very last

Up till now I didn’t putinto the No 1 title

No, I had actually thought it was natural

Although I had been sent here as a sacrifice of a hierarchy struggle, I had been trained in the style of one of the pillars of the Empire: the Raina Dukedoe of 5

I trainedht I would lose to my peers

But noas so ashamed and embarrassed at myself

As someone that served the empire I knew full hat that silver rain was

The six year here seven nations including the e their vassal and allied states

In the battle that began the year I was born, the Empire was victorious, and that tactic had been instru victory That hy I feared it

I had thought that the evil organisation had simply mimicked the technique that only the empire was able to use

But that was a fake

That was not the strategy the empire used

Just an ih-class skill, but a simple trick

Because of that, I didn’t realise Simply because of fear

As soon as I realised that I picked up my sword and ran

“Do have a death wish?!”

A sharp screaed to the kid that had been keeping all the kids in line since earlier

The girl with sharp eyes that could recognise the umbrella

But unfortunately her sharp eyeseither

One step, then another

Behind htest nick would completely shatter my body, but I couldn’t stop my feet

How est time, but also at the saed to arrive where No 1000 and the instructor aiting

No 1000 was sitting on a s

As I walked in front of No 1000 who had the same apathetic expression at both the sound of destruction behind my back and me in front of her, she looked up atto lose anyly to my opponent, no, to myself

No 1 and No 1000 are irrelevant The nu

Hus that only ever e it

The being in front of me is currently the first existence that had ever surpassed me, and was my rival

And on this day, I first developed ive up, no matter what

…Ah, with one exception

6 Their Story: Ria El Nermia

“That, is that possible?”

“I heard about it through the rumours, but is it really all up to its reputation?”

Godda to the whispers aroundso much in this place?

Even like this, I was part of the strongest nation on the continent: the Karuan Empire

And within the Karuan Eicians, nine out of ten would say the fahter

There was only one reason I ca, there was the possibility that the second half of the clan’s swordsmanshi+p manual and the farandfather, the previous head of the faht to lead the faic Tower visited home for the first ti on docu with a horrified look on his face

It was then the family realised that that seal was not real, but an extreations were conducted through which we found that the second half of the clan’s swordsmanshi+p manual had also been stolen

The Nerious clan that produced es

To Nermia, swordses, and so that itself wasn’t ical physical strengthening being developed by the royal family was even more effective, so you could say that swordsmanshi+p was essentially all but pointless To be honest, it didn’t one

But the seal was different

All the family’s affairs were ultimately the responsibility of the family head, and the object that represented the family head was none other than the seal

The seal was the fauably the symbol of the family itself, and if it became known that the seal that had been used since time immemorial was possibly a fake, then this wouldn’t end simply as just a stain on the family’s honour

If this became known elsewhere, if they really pushed and desired so, all the contracts that used the seal up till now could be rendered null and void
