Chapter 3
(Sorry for the wait. I transferred to a new job and shift, and I'm finally adjusting)
I stood there in shock as I stared in wonder at the magic knight that just said I couldn't even be in his presence. I grit my teeth as I bolted away from Yuno and the magic knight as fast as possible, holding back my tears.
I kept running and running, having no clue where I was going, far away from the church and everyone I thought I cared about. A thought popped into my head, what if they all were laughing at me behind my back or looked down on me just like that magic knight did. My world started to crumble as I finally stopped in the middle of a forest.
I tried to catch my breath as I looked around for any sign of my village, but there was no such luck. I sat down when I suddenly heard a voice behind me. "Well, look what we have here a lowly commoner who doesn't seem to have any magic." I suddenly got hit in the back with the burning feel of metal when it stabbed me.
I started to breathe more shallowly as I turned around just in time to get another metal shard to the chest. "Come on, commoner, at least put up a fight. This is no fun." I tried to run away as a third piece stabbed me through the leg. I screamed out in pain.
"Pathetic commoner, your family must be ashamed to even be around you. I pity them. Maybe you can die here and save them from more embarrassment." His words cut almost as deep as the knives did. Was that all I was an embarrassment?
I yelled out in what could only be described as pure sadness as I tried hitting the knight when he used his knife magic to lodge one into my shoulder. I started to cry, knowing this was the end, as I dropped to my knees, giving in and giving up.
All I felt was rage and hatred towards this man and everyone for squandering my hopes and dreams as I screamed so loud it rang through the countryside. I lunged at the man in front of me in a desperate attempt to save my life when suddenly a giant black sword appeared in my hand, running him through, killing him instantly.
I looked down to see the power of my blade had dispelled his knives as I lay down, trying to process everything that had just transpired. I saw a grimoire sitting beside me, pages open as I let go of the sword, and it floated right into the book. I had my grimoire, and I couldn't believe it.
"What should I do now? I can go back home. I'll be ridiculed and degraded just like everyone else does. Maybe I should just take my new book and find a new place to call home.
