Savior of the Universe: Chapter 23: Welcome to Garreg Mach

Naoto's POV

As I arrived with Naruto and Artoria in the forest. We saw three people running away from the bandits. The first was a white-haired woman with purple eyes. She was dressed in black and red. On her right shoulder was a red cape with a black eagle on it. The second was a blond-haired man with spaghetti-shaped hair. He also had blue and was dressed in the same manner as the woman except in blue and black. On his right shoulder was a blue cape with a blue lion instead. The last one was a brown-haired man with tan skin and green eyes. He had a side twisted ponytail on the left side of his face. He was dressed in the same manner as the others but in yellow and black. On his right shoulder was also a yellow cape with a deer design on it instead. As we approached them, they began talking to us.

''Hey, we need help. These bandits attacked us at our camp and the teacher guarding us ran away like a coward leaving us to die.'' The woman said.

''We've been separated from our comrades and they are after our lives...not to mention our gold.'' The tanned man said.

''Please can you help us? We wouldn't be asking you if this weren't this dire.'' The other man said.

As we took their information in stride I answered them.

''Alright, we'll handle them you go in the village. Naruto, Artoria you save their comrades and I fight the bandits that are soon going into MIA.'' I said to them and left after giving them their orders. Naruto and Artoria left to find the other students and the three students left for Remire village. These bandits are going to die. I was going to make sure of that. As I made my way towards the bandits I saw a pink-haired girl with twin tails as a haircut and pink eyes. she was wielding a battle ax as she was currently killing them but she was also complaining to them.

''You're making me work!'' She said. She seriously was complaining about having to fight and put some effort when her life was in danger.c What made her see this way for when your life is at stake to feel offended because you can't laze around. I decided to blast the small fries of these bandits away from her. A good old Big Bang Attack. My attack went straight to them and connected incinerating them. As This was now over the girl began to approach me and introduced herself.

''Wow, that was awesome. I'm Hilda Valentine Goneril. To whom I now owe my thanks.'' She said to me with a warm smile while blushing. I then answered her.

''Naoto Uzumaki, The crowned king of Eostia. I came here to join Garreg Mach for a future alliance.''I said to her to which made her gasp in awe. As I was about to ask her why she was doing so she explained to me why she did so after squealing at me.

''No way! Your THAT Naoto! The total badass that ended that six hundred years war on Eostia, Foldan next-door continent to Brigid and Duscur! This is awesome.'' She said. I then smile at her before sending her towards the village.

''Yeah, and speaking of which. I saw three people going to the village. One girl and two boys to be more accurate. Go there I'll handle the rest of them.'' I said to her before she departed before winking and going her way towards Remire village. Not one second later I was attacked by the leader of said bandits. He had this angry look on his face and was twirling his ax before he began talking to me.

''YOU! You took my men's lives! Our attack on these noble cash cows has failed because of you and now...YOU'LL DIE!'' He said or screamed his anger at me while he tossed his hand ax at me. I then channeled Ki in my hand and completely broke it singlehandedly. He then took a couple of steps back in fear. He clearly didn't expect that and tried to run away but he was burned to death by purple flames. As I looked frantically were these flames came from, I saw a black-clothed figure with grey skin and grey hair. This figure had eyeballs with no pupils. Not a single second after I spotted this ominous figure he disappeared via magic but its look was weird. Did it look somewhat technological? Could they have technology? I brushed these thoughts aside as I made my way back towards Remire village. As soon as I got there the three people I had saved earlier were there and Hilda was also there standing next to fair skin one. As I made my way there I was approached by them for what my team and I did earlier. The first one to speak was the girl in red.

''I appreciate your help. It is an honor to meet the king of Eostia. When we heard from Hilda that you took care of all the bandits we could hardly believe it. Oh, I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself. I am Edelgard Von Hresvelg, Future Empress of the Adestrian Empires. What is your name?'' She asked me. I then answered her.

''I'm Naoto Uzumaki, the king of Eostia as you already.'' I introduced myself shaking her hand. The blue-clothed one then introduced himself.

''Thank you for saving us and our classmates. I am Dimitri Alexendre Blaiddyd. The future king of the kingdom of Faerghus. I'm pleased to meet you.'' He said also shaking my hand. After that was now the turn of yellow-clothed one next to Hilda.

''Thanks for us and Hilda. I owe ya our thanks. The names Claude von Riegan. The future leader of the Leicester Alliance. So you are coming to the monastery with us alongside your little gang right. Hilda told us that your goal was to join it for the purpose of forging an alliance. We're gonna put up a good word for your crew okay.''He said to me. I then shook his hands before excusing myself to the inn to check the others. As I made my way towards the inn I was then talked to by this man. He had orange hair and a beard of the same color. He was dressed in white and orange with a spear strapped. He then began his chit-chat with me.

''So you're the Naoto this Aqua girl told me about. She said you cured my daughter's condition and saved her life. You are also the king of Eostia trying to join Garreg Mach. Well, we are going to Garreg Mach anyway because of someone I know...'' He said trailing at the end only to be cut off by this boisterous loud man in heavy armor. He had brown hair and a beard of the same color.

''Captain is this the one. The one who wants to join Garreg Mach with his crew. The king of Eostia. Well, greetings young Naoto. I'm Alois captain of the knights of Seiros. I'll put a good word for you also to the Archbishop lady Rhea herself for what you did.'' he said before we went on the road to the monastery.

Naoto's POV: Garreg Mach's Entrance: 2 Days Later

I arrived with everyone from two days ago at the entrance of this academy. Said academy looked more like a fortress than a school. As I began to look around I saw Byleth looking at me wand when I did she blushed slightly. She really seemed to have a small hero syndrome crush on me right now. Not that I blamed her really. When your entire life is devoid of emotions and someone tried to make possessed by something for their own gain and this knight shows up and foils that plan. It is not hard to see why she would crush on me. She looked up as she seemed unnerved. This green-haired lady in a white priestess outfit was staring straight at her and making Byleth very uncomfortable. As I kept looking at this Archbishop she muttered something that I heard with my senses. It sounded very ominous and I knew she was to blame for Byleth's past condition. She had all but muttered it atop her balcony. The only problem for this Archbishop was that my senses were incredibly sharp so I heard her entire sentence. She had all but confirmed she was the one behind it all.

''What did you do to my mother.'' That was what I heard her say.
