Nothing usual today in the The Mochizuki Mansion – Belfast, just a bunch of practice sword swings and spar with Yae at the practice grounds to make his swordsmanship on par with three famed individuals from Elementalia.
The reason why he thought of adding it to his routine is because of his asking some connections especially to the monarchs more about the Elementalia and the notable individuals within it.
Besides the battle-freak monarch's face proved it; the Yellow Flash which he knew as his uncle(since he is friends with the younger blonde back in the day), is the fastest man alive up to date. The king himself said to him yesterday that he's looking forward to that kind of spar against Arashi Kazama Elementalia I (Namikaze Minato).
If not for one of the ministers stopping that king for going to the Imperial Kingdom of Elementalia similarly to the first time he fought against Jamukha, the current king of Mismede, the kingdom and its government might not have function properly without having a monarch available there.
He's not sure what the governing system there in that country was, but if he were to be a monarch someday since there's a chance that he might be bound any time due to his engagement with the princess, who is watching the on-going spar sidelines, Yumina, he'll rather be the ceremonial one whereas there's prime minister, vice prime minister and cabinet doing work for him and for the sake of citizens.
Paperwork, that's a bane if there were no magic. But thankfully this world got that variable to remove such mountainous amount of work ever since the days of introducing systems!
"So you are saying you wanted to be on par with the Two Fox and the Yellow Flash-sama? Well since Yellow Fox-sama is nice and send me here, consider yourself" a top-rated magic swordsman hailed from Elementalia, wearing a bandaged-styled mask over his mask, asked Touya as he pulls out a tablet containing "Revigor" spell out from his pocket and swallowed it with water.
Touya looks interested and asked Zabuza who was dispatched as the Elementalia Kingdom's response to his request of becoming better fighter instead of relying "Slip", about that pill. Why he asked? In his former life back on Earth, there's a thing called tablet(not the electric mobile device), the one that is medicine and the other protein both of which required to be swallowed instead of chewed to make it more effective. He know who the otherworlders are; it just that 'thing' reminded him of consumables found in every fictional works made into life.
Add to that, he needed to know the proper procedure of creating it besides using his godly fast mobile pocket internet he has on his smartphone.
"This product is called Revigor pill, a prototype product from Elementalia." the Demon of the Elementalia Kingdom replied with a shark-like grin forming behind his mask. "What it does is simple: once consumed, the consumer will feel refreshed similarly to Revigor."
His eyes however turned slightly serious when he saw some interested looks especially the oldest individual who wanted to know the knowledge of it since that's her being herself, Zabuza said something that made it clear."Unfortunately I can't tell you how it was created..it's a state secret. But you can try it, Napoleon-san if you may."
With a word of "Oui", Napoleon "Napy" Andre, a short-stature Nightfall ranger armed with a bow and sabre, assigned to Zabuza as his duo partner, nodded and opens the nearby box. The taller man shows them the pill in which he took from the box.
"Here, I'm giving you 4 pills each."
"Umm, is it okay?"
"Yes, His Majesty The Emperor and The Elementalia Royal House trusts Mochizuki-san and his friends, we're giving you these as per Yellow Fox-sama's orders." the Demon of the Elementalia Kingdom replied as he let Napy do the rest.
The Yuugure soldiers brought 6 boxes sealed in a scroll afterall; oh the marvels of science meets magic! Don't forget the higher-ups and the brass of Yuugure and the Elementalia who worked with a rising star magician-inventor prodigy loyal to the Elementalia Crown by the name of Ernesti Eschevalier, saw something big that one day give impact to the world itself. And it was well-kept secret and the person is well-guarded by the elite Black Sentinels.
That'll be the later part of the story to tell, however.
Seeing the fairie looking at the scroll with interest due to thirst of knowledge and its practicality, Touya thought of asking the Yuugure soldiers how it works and some stuff.
He's somewhat adventurous afterall.
"Today, you are here to do to know some things around here. First, in His Majesty's Elementalia Guardian Core, no one gives a damn about your lineages, births, race and orientation. In here, we are all equal and nothing else." a drill sergeant(?), a black-haired beastman fox-type/kitsune youkai man in his late 140s having a physical appearance of 20 something year old handsome young man, named Amakusa Ken stated a bit hardened tone as he inspects each of the new recruits.
Some are human, some are youkai, some are ogre – so varied in his eyes. It's nothing new for him.
Those faces, a bit more stiffed? Oh, one of the recruits got some negatives in their minds already.
Oh well, some of them are out in the list.
His Majesty's Elementalia Guardian Core were disciplined soldiers after all, unlike those from Sandora and some states.
The special forces unit itself got a reputation to hold after all – Deadly, Swift, Well-Disciplined.
Unlike his younger brother-in-law who isn't present because of his missions and doing something else with his younger sister(plus being 'nice' combined with sadistic redeeming tasks of "I promise I will not be like that again" which made the 'passers' a changed person after passing if not failing and being sent to health stations in the Kingdom), Ken will make sure none of these wanted candidates joined the ranks. Why? It's his shot to see if they are worthy to join the famed unit who fought in the Unification War where he fought too.
By the way, the vets of Elementalia Guardian Core who visited for scouting of their possible juniors, observed thedrill sergeant(?)'s look of "I'm making a man out of you."
"Second, to make sure you are ready for duties and missions, that are meant for the sake of the Empire and the world itself. That is to say you are ready to be deployed with your squadron anytime everywhere, any place, any moment even that"
The recruits' faces remained silent and stiff which made the older vet thought they're nothing for now. His golden yellow eyes, however, saw one of them nervously glanced at him. Some of them, the younger ones in their teens, blushed too.
'Seriously, I need to tone down my language. I've forgotten we have youngsters.'
Good, but if only they knew the House of Hyuuga members hiding on the places that not even a sensor can detect thanks to layers of seals, since they're assigned as the 'monitors' to see any of recruits got bad characteristics like the deceased Baka Mizuki who were put to death immediately, they would have been nervous.
Don't ask him, it's very usual in Elementalia Kingdom if you were to join their army and any public office positions.
"Now go to your assigned squads!"
The recruits hastily moved to their respective as if being composed by world-class conductor. Those who didn't make it, instantly got removed via teleportation from their respective number badges.
Somewhere in the observation decks where it was disguised as nothing fancy but inside a true observation desk, an older blonde man who stood in between of the Fox Duo, smiles at the surprised Mochizuki Touya.
It was all because of the former Japanese's witnessing a perfect example of recruitment process in joining the famed Elementalia Guardian Core unit.
"This is how the kingdom I swore to serve and protect, pick individuals who are ready to do anything Touya-kun." the man said as his gallantry image of being father-figure to some speak of itself.
He continued, "When I first arrived in this place that became my home, I had some troubles as you see since we got different conditions. If not for coming from samurai lineage and learning the standard Senju-Namikaze kenjutsu style, I wouldn't have make it in battles I've fought."
Touya understood what the older man meant; this world got fights and monsters and other creatures fight against besides having magic itself.
"Your Highness, I k-" the man shook his head.
"Please we're not in a formal meeting, you know.." that smile, it's truly like the man's son except not being cheeky and prankster.
"H-hai, ojii-san." At that, Touya's friends who were with him, looks at him surprised while the older blonde male smiled.
The man standing before them was Arashi Kazama Elementalia I, real name Senju-Namikaze Minato, Emperor of Imperial Kingdom of Elementalia, known to many as the famed "Yellow Flash" because of devastating personal spell that makes him reappear in that many wouldn't realize combat-wise before they're dead.
"Now then Touya-kun, let's go somewhere since we have lot of catching up...don't the worry Prime Minister and the Vice Minister got it covered." Minato said with laughter as the chibi Emperor dancing joyfully since he escaped from paperwork thanks to the government structure he crafted.
"Okay."
