Getting To Know Better The Soldiers Part 1

Even when the next day arrived, Kiran was still awake.

Fortunately, he finished the first book, he felt a little more relaxed since now he had an improved knowledge about the war. He walked towards the dining room, while he did that, he felt weird walking in a building like this. He was used to living in poverty, maybe not too much poverty but it can't be compared to being living in a castle... besides, he felt too fortunate, fortunate because he arrived at a world where the government wasn't corrupt. Even though he was against the monarchy due to the concept that just because you were born in the "royal" family you automatically had privileges and you could become the leader of the nation was a lot of bullshit as the story of his world had demonstrated multiple times... at least Alfonse and Sharena weren't evil people... or at least it seemed to be the case... to say he trusted them right now would be something stupid.

The only thing that he actually missed was the technology of his world...

This world still was in the medieval age... who knew if these people understood even the basics of modern science... Kiran had invested a lot of his time in life in trying to understand how reality does work. He was just a miserable amateur, that was something he could not deny, but his knowledge would be certainly more advanced than anything these people could ever have...

Maybe he could make something to improve the future of this world and transform it into the paradise that he always wanted, or at the very least something as similar to it as possible.

It was only going to get accomplished until he was even less than worm food, but that was not an important factor in his opinion.

This made him reflect on something.

In some stories, aliens refused to share their technology with "less developed species" due to history remembering the example of when the Europa discovered America... but... at exactly what point is a species officially "mature" enough to let them in on the secrets of the universe? Does non-interference mean you're morally obliged to let a species or members of a species suffer or die because it is their "natural development"? And what will happen when the "protectees" do develop advanced technology and discover that alien races have been watching them for generations? and what about a situation when you find an alien race that is eager to gain tech and knowledge from humans? can you get away with telling the aliens "you are not ready? where does the rule stop being about "preserving alien cultures" and start being about "keeping the humans as the dominant power"?

All that just seemed a lot of hypocrisy in is eyes...

They needed him...

There was probably an infinite number of people better for the job than a piece of crap like him... but he was what they had gotten... and now they were his responsibility.


When he arrived at the dining room for the Order Of Heroes, he saw Anna, Alfonse, Sharena, and the other heroes eating, he sat near Anna.

During breakfast, as the previous day, he was scared about what he was eating. But it was even more evident... he wasn't scared because the food was ugly or tasted bad... even considering this food wasn't the food that he used to eat in his country, it actually was very good... the problem... the problem was some tiny beings that could exist on his food.

Anna noticed his worried face.

"Something bothers you, Kiran?" she asked.

"Yeah... my immune system isn't adapted to the bacteria of this world..." he grimaced.

After he said that, everyone stopped eating and started to look at him, ignorants of what he said.

"Bacteria?"

"You don't know what I'm talking about because your technology is still primitive. No offense though." Kiran sighed and shrugged. "Bacteria are very tiny beings, they only can be seen using a microscope which is a spyglass designed to see close but tiny things." he used his hands to kinda attempt to display the form one of those artifacts had. "most of them are all the time in our body but they're not a problem because those bacteria are either harmless or beneficial. Sometimes, however, in the air, water, and even in the food, there's a kind of bacteria that's dangerous. Those bacteria are the things that make us get sick. When those types enter into your body, something called the immune system starts an attack against them, but if the system fails... you get sick... and the probabilities of dying are too big... the medicine kills the bacteria... but in this world, I guess you don't even have penicillin... and because I'm from another world... my immune system isn't adapted to the possible bacteria of this world... so I guess it is pretty normal I fear for my life." he sighed as he looked at his food again.

After he said that... Lucina was the first to give him an answer.

"Hey, this isn't the first time that I change of the world, and I'm fine"

"Ah? really? well, probably it's only luck, I'm interested to know that story." Kiran crossed his arms.

"Well, I'm from what you call, the awakening world, but from its future-"

Now there was time travel too? well, it was not that crazy to imagine considering he just got isekaided.

"That explains everything." Kiran interrupted her. "If you're still in your own world, the bacteria usually not change a lot, even if three decades have passed,. Usually, the process needs at least half of a century if it is by the natural way unless we're talking about a virus, they mutate as if it is fucking race."

"...Oh..." Lucina stopped talking.

"Anyway, if I don't eat, I will die of hunger, so, the best I can do it's eat and hope not to die," he said as he started to eat again... but still worried.

However, all the heroes were not able to eat too.

"So... " Lilina started to talk, "You said that your world was corrupt... but they have the technology to know the existence of those... things?"

"Yeah, the technology is the only good thing of my world, we have planes, cars, computers, wonderful things, but the existence of those things does not fix the shit of my world, they just make you forget it for a while. Kinda like an anti-depressive medicament or one that erases pain but not permanently."

"What is a plane.. and all those other things?" Kagero asked. She, and all the other heroes, of course, were not understanding a lot.

"To explain it, a plane is a flying object that is partially shaped like a bird, but it's not an animal. It's made of metal parts. It's used to transport people from one side of the world to the other, it can fly to 646 miles per hour." or at least that's what he remembered. He was not an expert about planes.

"That... sounds unbelievable" Corrin said.

"Yeah, that's what people of two hundred years ago said, now it's completely normal." of course, given the fact he did not have evidence right there he did not expect them to accept what he just said... although they were medieval people... their kind usually believed a lot of stuff as long as it sounded neat. "About the other things, a car it's like a cart, being a difference that it can move by itself. Also, the humanity is able to build giant buildings, they are called skyscrapers, if I'd have to compare your world with mine, I'd say that you're still in something that we call, the medieval age... I can tell you more things later, I just wanna finish my food."

Although the heroes and the prince and his sister whispered about what Kiran just said... Anna was interested more about another thing.

"If only I could have one of those things, I would get a fortune!" Anna said excitedly.


Naturally, for any kind of military organization training was a fundamental aspect. As a result, the heroes and other members of the Order went to the training camp as soon as they finished their breakfast.

During this time, Kiran decided to try to make friends with the heroes, this was his first step to practicing what he read in that book.

The first one was Corrin.

"Em... cof cof... my lady?"

"Uh?" the woman turned to see him, stopping her process of becoming into a dragon for training.

"I'm sorry if I'm bothering you..." Kiran raised a little both his hands in a hand signal of: I don't want to cause trouble. "but, I'd like to meet you better... but if you don't like the idea, I can go away" he offered the possibility and even he moved his body as if he was going to leave at anything moment.

Corrin smiled at him before reaching out with her hand to make him understand she wanted him to stay. "Oh, don't worry, I don't mind... what was your name? sorry I forgot."

"You can call me Kiran, my lady" again, that was not truly his name, or at the very least it was not the name he received at birth.

"It's not necessary to be formal. even if I'm a princess." Corrin said.

"A princess? oh... well, it's weird, before I came to this world, I wasn't used to talking with royalty." like, seriously, back home he could only remember two royal families still existing and even then they were usually just for display rather than anything else. "Well, Corrin, I'd like to know how you can become yourself into a dragon... I mean... no one in my world can do that. There were stories about dragons, yes, but they all were nothing more than just fake legends... besides, our dragons were all beasts... none of those dragons was... em... a beautiful woman?..." Kiran gulped as he looked away.

The princess's smile became bigger before she started to explain "Well, thanks. Anyway, the process is simple, I have to use this, it's called: dragonstone"

Kiran analyzed it... more than a stone, it seemed like a diamond. "A magic stone I guess." the word "magic" was not much of his liking though... magic was a thing to describe something that was impossible in the real world and could only happen in a world of fantasy. Then again, this was a fantasy isekai world that was real so perhaps his argument was not that strong.

"It is" Corrin nodded "I just have to activate its power and then I will become into a dragon."

"Interesting... " needless to say this was very weird for Kiran.

"I also had a sword, but I'm afraid that I didn't have it with me when you summoned me," she said, her face denoted sadness which, considering how much she appreciated her sword, was perfectly normal and understandable.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Kiran scratched his head's back part in shame.

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

"Yeah... so... if I use your stone, will I become into a dragon too?" although the process of morphing was something that he always imagined must be pretty painful... he really wanted to try it.

"Eh? no no no no! It can only be used by manaketes!" Corrin explained.

"Manaketes?" now that was an interesting word.

"Dragons with a human form."

"Oh!, so your real form is the dragon?" she also seemed to have elf-like ears... what a curious combination of perhaps the two most common and famous races of fantasy.

"Actually, no."

Kiran shook his head in confusion with a smile before Corrin made a signal with her hand to let her continue. "I'm a manakete, yes, but I'm human too, my father was manakete and my mother was human." Corrin decided to look away as she said that last part of the sentence.

"You are a hybrid?" Kiran was impressed...

She was a hybrid... a hybrid! a human-dragon/elf hybrid no less! "Wow... hybrids aren't easy to create... or at least it was that way in my world... amazing... you ARE amazing." Kiran had a pretty genuine smile as he analyzed what he just learned.

"Thank you, but now tell me about you, where you learned that strange language?" Corrin decided to seat on the grass and so did Kiran.

"Do you mean this? estoy hablando en otro idioma que tú no entiendes (I'm talking in a language you don't understand)."

She nodded quickly.

"It's called Spanish." considering his white skin, people from his world could be forgiven if they thought he was born in Spain without hearing his speech accent first.

"Spanish?"

"Español... it's one of the languages of my world." a simple answer. Spanish, as a variant of Latin, was a very phonetic language in the sense that usually the pronunciation and the writing of said language were very very similar. Kiran liked that a lot.

"And it's your mother tongue?"

"Yes, it is." he shrugged.

"I see."

"Yeah, well, now talking about other things... they call me "Great Hero"... but I'm not a hero." Kiran's stoic face returned as he looked at the sky.

"Well, maybe you're not a hero now, but you could be."

"Nah" he negated with his hand. "I'm not saying that because I cannot become stronger... it's because my ideology is different."

"Different in what?"

"I won't give mercy to my enemies... if they deserve a punishment I'm not going to hesitate." he transformed his hand into a fist as he said that.

"Are you sure? everybody should have an opportunity to redeem themselves." she commented, remembering something from her past.

"No, if they don't make any attempt to deserve it, then it is not even worth telling them anything..." his fists became "stronger" "I've learned that evil people cannot change... no matter how much you try to convince them... haven't you meet someone like that?"

"...Well... yes... he was someone I once called father."

"Wow, talk about a bad life... I guess..." He scratched his neck.

"It's fine, in the end I realized the error of his ways and stopped him." Corrin nodded slowly as she remembered her last battle against that piece of nohrian scum.

"I see." that was good. "Anyway, better I let you continue with the training now, I hope we can continue talking to each other later. I'll leave, see ya."

"Bye" she waved at him as he left.

After that, he walked towards the girl called... Lucina if he remembered correctly.

If it wasn't for the fact that Kiran was an asexual person, he would be attracted by this woman because blue was his favorite color, something that could be easily assumed given his earthling clothes were completely blue, and she was all blue. Seriously, he wanted a pigment as awesome as that one!

"Am... excuse me."

"Oh?... you are... Kiran? right?" the woman sheathed her sword in case this became a long chat.

"Yes, I am, and you are Lucina... correct?" Kiran rubbed his chin.

"My full name is Lucina Lowell, but Lucina is fine." she nodded with a smile.

"Well, nice to meet you, my lady." he extended his hand to ask for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you too." which Lucina happily accepted.

"So, as the tactician of this army, it's necessary for me to know better to my soldiers. You know, it's very basic stuff, making sure that they are comfortable with you is an elemental thing to get the victory."

"I can say that you're right." Lucina suddenly seemed lost in her thoughts.

"Is that so?" he supposed that perhaps it was not a strange idea to imagine a princess who knew about military tactics even if this was the medieval era.

"Yeah, it's the same thing that a good friend used to say... he demonstrated it to me many times." after she said that, she inclined her head to do not allow Kiran to continue seeing her face.

The body language was kinda obvious to express what was happening. "...He's dead... right?"

"...Yeah... his name was Robin..." Lucina's voice for a moment almost felt... broken.

"I'm sorry... " Kiran grimaced as he looked away. He made her felt uncomfortable...

"It's okay... I mean... Naga told us that there was a small possibility that he could survive... but more than ten months have passed and he's still missing..." Lucina sighed before shaking her head.

"Em... is he really dead? yes or not?" I was starting to hate these confusing things the heroes told him.

"He is.. but Naga explained that if our bonds were strong enough, there were possibilities that he could resurrect."

"Resurrect?..." real resurrection was possible? this seriously was causing him a headache. "Interesting... well... by the way... who's Naga?" he had seen monsters with a name similar to that one before... probably in Final Fantasy.

"She's the divine dragon... well... she told us that she's not a goddess but we still have too much respect for her, after all, she gave us the power to travel across the time, and even my sword was created using one of her fangs."

"A sword created through a fan? that sounds kinda familiar..." for a moment he felt the needing of yelling Kaze No Kizu. "I remember a sword that was also made of a fang, it was called Tessaiga, well, the sword wasn't real, it was only a sword in a story called Inuyasha. Anyway, your sword is pretty cool."

"Thanks." she gave him a smile again.

"Well, why did you travel in time?... I mean, no one travels back in time without a good reason." he rubbed his forehead.

She told him the history of the giant evil dragon called Grima that destroyed her world, that monster had the ability to create zombie soldiers called risen. Unable to defeat him, the only solution was to prevent his resurrection in the past.

"...I guess that's even worse than my world... " a zombie apocalypse? what else was going to happen? "Well, now that I notice it, we've only talked about bad things, let's talk about better things"

"Like the things you were talking about this morning?" the princess displayed a face of curiosity.

Kiran instantly liked that.

"Yeah, for example, do you know that the stars are actually plasma spheres that are at inconceivable distances?" he always felt like a child explaining all this stuff.

"W-what?!"

"The stars are actually other suns." he clarified, looking at the sky... he kinda wished it was nighttime already. "But they are very very away. I mean, the light is the fastest thing in the universe but even for it, it takes four years to come from the nearest star." Proxima Centauri if his memory was working without problems.

"I... I don't know what to think..."

"I'll make a telescope later so you can see some of that stuff." he looked at the horizon. "Even it's an illusion to watch the sun rising, it's the earth that revolves about itself."

"But.. but that would mean that..." Lucina started to watch at the ground.

"The earth is a sphere, yes." although he expected some of the best scholars of the planet would have figured it out already, probably most of the population still did not know. Even in his world, there was a group of retarded pieces of crap who still insisted the planet was flat... seriously.

"B-But how!?... I can see the horizon!"

"It's another illusion, in a flat earth you could be able to see every mountain no matter how as far you could be, besides, the sun would be always in the sky and it would become smaller the more it was far from you. But the sun and even the moon maintain their exact same size. The earth is a sphere too big, we're standing on less than 0.0001% of the circumference of the earth, it's impossible to see the curvature here, the only way to see curvature would be to be very high." very very high actually, people needed to remember that, in the perspective of the universe, they were fucking ants.

"I... I never would have imagined it..." Lucina's eyes and mouth were very opened.

"Yeah, the explanation of why you can be standing on the ground is due to the gravity, a force of attraction between objects, when you jump, that force automatically makes you fall. The strength of that force depends on the mass of the two objects interacting divided into the square of the distance all that multiplied by the gravitational constant... yeah" Kiran nodded as he crossed his arms and started walking around. "Well, that only applies if you're calculating gravitational effects normally. If you enter the to the real of lightspeed then the formula stops working and you have to ask Mr Eistein stuff... who pretty much discovered that gravity is actually not a force but rather some kind of distortion in space-time continuum... complicated stuff. Science marches on and gets updated every year." He smiled while nodding slightly.

As she heard him explaining all that, Lucina had a certain memory crossing her mind. "That... that... I remember that the mother of one of my friends had a theory that sounded just like that!"

"Oh, interesting, so, in your world, the gravity was discovered by a woman?! nice!" He gave her a thumbs-up.

"So.. did you say that the earth revolves upon itself right?.. and that's why the sun seems to rise... it's the same with the moon?"

"Well, no, the moon sometimes is still visible in the sky, the moon is a different case, you see, when you throw an object, it flies before falling... right?" he grabbed a rock from the ground. "But what would happen if you could be able to throw that object at a very high speed? simple" he threw the rock away. "The object would get the speed to do not fall again, and then, like the moon, it would start to orbit to the earth, something like this."

He started to show her a finger

"This is the earth."

Then he made that his other finger will start to move in a circular trajectory around his other finger.

"And this is the moon."

"Oh my Naga!"

"Yes I know, it's awesome, and the same thing that the moon does with the earth, the earth does with the sun."

"So, your first finger could be also the sun and the other finger would be the earth?"

It was a curious situation how Lucina seemed so excited about seeing a guy making movements with his fingers. As if he had magical hands or something.

"That's right. That kinda explains the existence of the seasons, depending on where the place of its orbit the earth is, the seasons change because certain parts of the earth receive more light during more hours than others. This causes that in the north of the world, when it is summer, in the south side it is winter and the opposite situation is also true." he smiled

"Wow." she smiled like a kid and she started to say... "Can you please tell me more things like these?"

"Maybe later, you have to continue with your training."

"OH YES, you're right!"

"Well, I'll see you later, Lucina."

"And I'll see you later too, Kiran"

When Kiran was leaving, he noticed that other heroes were hearing what he was talking... clearly they all were surprised... he laughed at that.


Beautiful... isn't it? this is one of the things that makes me want to write this history, the fact that Kiran is from our world and he has too many things to tell to persons who are still ignorant of many things, the wonders of the universe and technology... and its dangers.

I have more things to do, so, in the next chapter, he will talk to the others.

By the way, if you saw a grammar error, can you please tell me about it?.

Chapter 4 updated.
