Shield Hero

? POV

People think reincarnation is a wonderful thing but honestly it kind of sucks since I can't remember anything about my past life other than my death and I am currently stuck as a baby currently.

I am a baby boy named Jacob Sill and I am currently being held by my mother as she is feeding me.

This just feels weird, and the taste is weird to…I just want to hurry up and grow up already.

14 Years Later

I learned a lot in my first year as a baby in this new world. For starters I was put into an orphanage, second, I am fourteen years old, and nobody has adopted me, thirdly I don't really own anything other then the clothes on my back, fourthly is that I am currently walking away from the orphanage because some strange man actually did the unthinkable and adopted me as well as all the other kids in the orphanage as we all piled into a massive limo.

I looked at myself in the car window reflection to just make sure I wasn't dreaming as I also pinched myself.

I have dark brown skin with the same hair Yugi Moto has from Yu-Gi-Oh but minus the yellow hair streaks as I also have brown eyes with an average build, and I am currently dressed in a simple brown T-shirt with blue jeans and slightly worn-out sneakers.

The town we are currently about to leave is a simple small American town, but it still had a homey feel to it, and I honestly might miss it since me and the other kids would often play or sometimes get into trouble around town.

Anyway, the strange man sat with us in the back of the limo with a smile as the other kids where happy and smiling and even messing around a bit before I asked the man a question as I finally noticed his church style attire.

"I'm sorry sir but why did you adopt all of us and who are you exactly?" I asked him which took him by mild surprise, but he never lost his kind smile.

"Well, the orphanage you where apart of was about to close and I didn't want you kinds to become homeless like I was so I wanted to adopt you into the faith which can help each of you. Also, my name is Dulio Gesualdo, and I am a high-ranking member of the Catholic church." Dulio said as the ride was rather nice, and I ended up falling asleep.

Now I am apparently a deep sleeper since I woke up on a airplane as we are apparently headed to Italy where we will be placed in a group home.

5/12/2012

It took me a whole month to learn French as I am currently in a church funded school where we learn about the faith as well as other school subjects as I am now dressed in a simple white altar boy robe like some of the other orphans as I am taking note in my notebook.

At the group home we are given meals and school supplies and I am thankful for that because now I am able to study and maintain my grades as I am currently one of the highest graded people here in school, but I still lack any real friends since my personality isn't to most people's liking.

"Jacob, could you answer this math question for me?" The teacher asked as I gave the correct answer which impressed several students and even the teacher. Soon enough class ended as I packed up my stuff in my school bag before I make my way through the halls before I come face to face with Dulio again as I haven't seen him much since I've gotten here.

"Gesualdo sir. Why are you here?" I asked him since he wasn't a teacher or staff member of the school.

"I actually came here to have some words with you Jacob. I have to say that you have a keen and cleaver mind, and the church allows certain people to have certain freedoms and I wanted to ask if you wanted to become my apprentice instead of having a simple education?" Dulio asked before he spoke up again. "Also just call me Dulio." Dulio said as I was a bit shocked at what he asked since everyone in this place speaks so highly of him and other high-ranking members of the faith.

"Well…I would love to be your apprentice, but you don't seem like the teacher type Mr. Dulio." I told him which made him chuckle a bit.

"I suppose that is true in some respects. But still, I can promise that I will take your education seriously so tell me honestly Jacob. Do you wish to become my apprentice?" Dulio asked as I gave it some thought for a moment.

"Yes sir. I would be honored." I told him as being in a Catholic school was actually kind of fun and a lot more open minded then people assumed as the church actually doesn't mind things like homosexuality and stuff.

Apparently, that is only certain people in the faith that are blinded by their own twisted views of how life should be but that isn't important.

"Alright then. Follow me and we will have words with the principal about this." Dulio said walking past me as I rushed behind him to keep up as he spoke with the old man a bit and I was now to be schooled by Dulio as we then began walking a bit around Italy as Dulio and I simply talked a bit about what I would be learning which included how I would become an exorcist in the service of the church.

END!

Authors Note: Okay I am willing to admit that this chapter is a bit rushed but I didn't really have a lot of time to write it as this is a story I have had stuck in my head after watching [The Rising Shield Hero] and playing SAO games so I just wanted to write this story and get it done.

I want this story to be a slightly serious one and I will enjoy writing it so please remember to fav, follow and review.
