Dateline, May 29th.
(Trails of Cold Steel ost - Refreshing Moments)
I got up early as I took a nice shower. After that and getting everything. Plus, I pack some breakfast for everyone. I also made one for Rean and his team. I spend a lot of ingredients. Hope they like it. As I finish making. I begin to head out to the train station and then there was Alisa, Laura, Elliot, Gaius.
"Hey guys." I called out as I appoach them.
"Hey Levi." Alisa said. Then notice the two basket. "What's with the basket?"
"Oh, I thought I should make some lunch for everyone to take on their journey. One for us and one for them."
"Aww, that's very kind of you Levi. Your cooking is delicious." Elliot smiled
"Indeed. I can tell you put a lot of heart into it." Gaius smiled
"Hehe, thanks. Reading cookbooks and practice cooking and trying different methods to bring out the flavor of all things." I smiled. "So how are the rest of you doing?"
"We're doing okay. We're waiting for our train." Alisa said.
As we begin to talk more. The train is almost here for us to leave. Then Rean and his group arrived. Jusis and Machias did their usual cross-arm at each other.
"Ah, you made it!" Gaius said.
"Good morning. Are you leaving now too?" Elliot asked
"Yeah. I'm hoping we'll be able to reach Bareahard before noon." Rean nodded. "Looks like you guys already have your tickets, huh?"
"Yeah. The train will arrive any minute as we are speaking." I nodded. "Oh, Rean. Here." I then give him the basket with his group lunch.
"What's this?"
"I made lunches for you all. Considering I know what you like and dislike. I decided to put in the effort of making something to your liking." I smiled and answered
"Aww, that's very sweet of you Levi." Emma smiled
"Your cooking is the bomb. So I don't mind." Fie said.
"You flatter me but it's nothing special." I smiled
"Our destination, Saint Arkh, is about as far from Trista as yours, I believe." Laura said.
"Yes, they're both five hours from Trista by express train." Emma nodded.
"Then I was right to make those lunches in case if you get hungry." I let out a chuckled.
"I've never ridden on a train for so long before. I'm kind of looking forward to it!" Elliot smiled
"Same here." I nodded and then turn to Jusis and Machias. Oh jeez. Those two won't let up.
Then we heard an announcement and our train is about to arrived.
"That's us!" Elliot exclaimed
"We'll be going now. Cya in a couple of days you guys." I said with a smile. Then turn to Jusis and Machias. "Jusis, Machias. Please don't cause your group trouble, okay."
Both hmph at me as they look the other way. I sighed as I shake my head.
'Let me know if anything happen.' I whisper to Rean and then we got on the train and then we begin to take a seat.
(Trails of Cold Steel ost - Brain-racking Test)
And then we begin to wait as the train move and now we're on our way. I couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Something the matter Levi?" Laura asked
"It's just those two. I'm concerned they might cause trouble." I answered
"Ah. I can't blame you considering what happens in my group." Gaius nodded
"It will take a while. So why don't we talk about Saint-Arkh."
"Sounds good to me." Alisa nodded.
So we begin to talk about Saint-arkh for a while and then begin to change the subject.
5 hours has past and then we arrived at Saint-Arkh. As we arrived. It was a beautiful city.
"Wooooow." I awe.
"And here we are. Saint-Arkh." Elliot replied.
"So this is the city that is white. But now it's gray, right?" Gaius asked
"Yeah now that you mention it. Still. We should head into our Inn and check-up." Alisa advised
And then. After we check in with the Inn. We begin to receive an envelope. Our assigned task was to deal with a monster causing trouble on West Sutherland highway. Mark red. The other was the Orbal Factory chambers that needed help with the material. Which is blue. And lastly. A group of monsters has been causing trouble on the road on the North Sutherland Highway. And needed to be taken care of. So we decided to deal with the blue ones and then the red one.
We went to the Orbal shop. As we enter. It was like any other Orbal factory. We went to the guy in charge.
"Excuse me. Are you the one in charge?" I asked
The guy turn around. "Why yes, I am." Then notice the uniform. "Oh, your from Thors, correct? The one that will accept the task?"
"That's us. Is there anything you need?" Alisa asked
"Yes actually. And it's quite dire…" The guy sighed. "My name is Chamber. Let me explain about the request. You see. A customer of mine ask me to fix something for him but I don't have the materials to fix it."
"So what kind of materials do you need?"
"A material from a monster called Neo Mantis. It drop the sharp sickle which it can create a tool. Mine was recently broken."
"Ah. So you want us to go retrieve it for you?" Laura asked
"Yes. It would mean a lot to me. And I'm running out of time."
"No worries. We can get it for you." I smiled
"Ah, you kids are lifesavers. Remember it's from the monster called the Neo Mantis. You can find them in the Sutherland Highway which is quite a long walk. Oh, and the material is called the Neo Sickle."
"Sutherland Highway, hmm? That's a long way from Saint-Arkh. It's also close by to Parm." Laura recalled.
"Ah yes. But we can't go back to Parm, right?" Gaius ask
"Probably not? Still. It's going to be a long walk. We should hurry." I said.
So me and everyone else begin to head into South Sutherland Highway and it begins to walk far away from Saint Arkh. It's a long walk to be honest. Elliot was already tired. Can't say I blame him. And then we found our mantis. We begin to combat it and then it begins to bring more of them and then soon we defeated them. We got what we needed and then hurry back. As we arrived back after a long walk. Chamber thank us and give us Quarts. Next, we begin to do our final blue quest. We headed to the north this time and then after walking. We encounter a large number of creepy sheep monsters. It was a legion of them! I combat link with Alisa and then we begin to fight them. It was a heavy battle and they just kept coming. After finally dealing with them. We begin to do our final one. We went to the West of Sutherland and then we begin to find the monster. Once we arrived. We look everywhere for the troublesome monster and then found the monster eventually. It was a large Spider Monster. We begin to battle it and we end up victorious. After that is clear It was sunset. And then return to make the report and got rewards. Then we begin to prepare for tomorrow and our last day.
-Night-
I was shopping in stores
"Man… what a day…" I sigh as I was walking to the Inn. "I wonder how Rean and the others are doing… hope they're alright." However. I stop as I sense a presence. 'Luka. Did you feel that?'
'Yes. But you're not being followed. At least not yet. I will keep you updated.'
'Very well.' I then return to the city.
-Next day-
In the morning. There was a commotion going on. We ask what was going on and last night, there has been a sight of a dangerous monster in the city. The provincial army is taking care of it. But the monster vanished and slaughter them. And then we decided to investigate. We begin to ask around. One man answered that the monster was unlike he had seen before. And the other reported he saw what the monster look like because he was able to escape. We ask him what does the monster look like but he was too scared to remember. So we investigate again. And then heard a child scream. Once we arrived. The child disappeared by some powerful force. While the people panicked. We investigate and then I sense a powerful monster presence somewhere close by. It was located in the West of Sutherland. We hurry to Sutherland and then we begin to follow and then once we arrived. We spotted the monster. It was a giant spider monster with a small female humanoid as it's face.
"What the hell is that?!" I exclaimed
Alisa Shrek. "It's a giant spider!"
"It's the largest I have ever seen!" Elliot exclaimed.
"I sense a powerful aura from it." Laura muttered
"Everyone, look!" Gaius pointed and we saw the monster was saping the little boy's blood!
"It's… it's sucking it's blood!" I exclaimed. "That monster! We have to stop him before he kill him!"
"Right!" Everyone nodded
"Ohh… let's hope we don't get caught in it…" Elliot gulp.
As we charge in. The Spider monster roared. I Link up with Gaius and then Elliot link up with Alisa. We begin to take on the monster. The monster was comfortable. It launched a powerful screech to damage our ears to bleed. I then counter it by stabbing at its face. Then Alisa use her craft to unbalance it and I follow up. Then Laura use her craft and unbalance it with her strong attack. Elliot follow up and then Elliot use his arts and launch a strong Art attack on it. Then the spider monster was spitting out webs and Elliot and Alisa were caught in it and it tried to pull them. But Gaius save them by using his craft and cutting the web as I use my craft highly damage the monster. Then Laura let a powerful slash at it and then we all strike at the monster and highly damage it. Then the monster let out a powerful screech and push us back. And then it launched its web at us once again and it caught 4 of my teammates. It tried to pull them.
"Oh no you don't!" I zoom at the monster and cut it's web first. And then I stab it's face.
It screech and then tried to jab me but I leap over and then cut it off as it screech.
"You despicable monster. It's one thing eating your prey. But for you to take a life of a child… now you cross the line." I glared at it.
"Now. Power, come forth." I then imbue my Glaive with white energy. "Grand me power to purge my foes!" And then my Glaive extended and burst with white energy and then I pulled out a second Glaive that was made out of golden energy which was actually my light magic. I then zoom and let out a warcry and warp and let out flurry of slashes at the monsters and then wrap in different angles to surround the boss. "Fire, Water, earth, wind, Time, Space, Mirage. Heed my command." As I said while slashing the monster. Large orbs of the respectful elements came forth from the Glaive I've placed surrounding the boss. "Purge my foes with thy power And shine like the stars of the heavens!" I warp into the air, with the Glaive surrounding the giant spider monster and grabbing each of them one-by-one and throwing them into the ground in the center. Then I swirl my Glaive into a backspin and let a wide slash and explode on the monster as the seven elements Orbs brighten. Then I generate a massive glyph that shape like a four-winged angel on the ground in front of me that draws the boss in which was already in then Seven giant Glaive blades then rise up from the ground where the seven elements are. "Aries Galaxy!" and crash inward to the boss with the elements with it. Causing a pillar of rainbow light exploring on the boss as I close my eyes and turn around posing like a skilled warrior. Once that was done. It leaves a massive damage on the monster and the monster explode into purple light. Once the battle was over. I panted. It's a strong monster no doubt… It's a little tough… but not quite strong as the monster I've faced.
"That was a strong one… alright." I panted as I wipe my forehead from my sweat. I then check on my classmates. "You guys okay?"
"We're fine. But… that was incredible!" Alisa panted as she and the others got up.
"Yeah! I have never seen you do that before!" Elliot panted.
"I'm a spear user myself and I must admit. Your display was far beyond mine." Gaius added
"What was that you use just now? I have never seen anything like it." Laura asked
I can't answer that right now. "I can't answer that question. Not right now. Let's check on the boy that was kidnapped."
"Oh, right!" Alisa replied.
We ran to the boy and then check on him. He's breathing… but the monster taken half of his blood.
"He's alright… but that monster has drain half of his blood…" I look sadden.
"How horrible… that monster kidnap a child and…"
"What's important that we made it in time and stop it. Let us hurry back to Saint-Arkh." Gaius advised.
"Right." We nodded.
I carried the boy and then headed back to Saint Arkh. As we return. We inform the Provincial army and the boy's parents that the boy's safe and the monster was draining blood. Both groups was shivered by that monster and hope it never appeared again. But the Provincial army was surprised that we defeated such a powerful monster. Laura pointed out it was a worthy opponent.
- May 31-
The boy had recovered and he and his parents thank us for saving their child. After that. We left Saint-ARKH with our final report. We boarded the train and head back to the academy. We were all seating. I was next to Elliot and Gaius while Laura and Alisa was on the other side.
"Man that was rough…" Alisa sigh. "I wasn't expecting to run into such a terrible monster…"
"I don't think neither of us do. It's completely scary…" Elliot nodded as he shivered.
"Yeah… both disturbing and powerful it was too." I nodded.
"But at least the young man was safe…" Laura replied. "So then Levi. Would it be alright if I ask what was that technique you did?"
"Ah, of course." I nodded. "It's a technique of mine I work on while back. It allow me to gather energy from the seven elements into a devastating force."
"I see. What type of style was your Glaive if you don't mind me asking."
"Hmm…" I begin to think for a moment. Honestly. I haven't got a name for it. Still. My Glaive style was graceful while deadly. How do I answer it? Should I be honest? Because I don't have the answer for it. "To be honest. I don't know."
"You don't?" Alisa asked
"Yeah. My adopted grandfather was the one who train me in the way of the Glaive. I never bother to ask him because I thought spearmanship was the same. After learning there are different styles of spearmanship. I haven't ask him about it."
"Ah, I see. Who was your grandfather name?" Laura asked
"His name is Makarov. And not confused him with professor Makarov."
Then they had a light laugh.
"And his surname? I apologize if I ask too many question." Laura said.
"It's quite alright. To answer your question. He never told me. All he said his name is Makarov. He's a mysterious old man." I said.
"I can certainly see that. Still, your Glaive style was virtuous and honor. But it is something I don't recognize. Then again, i don't know much about the Glaive style."
"Yes, I agree. It is different from Nord style of spearmanship." Gaius nodded.
"And you are one of the strongest first years with laura." Elliot added.
"Too true." I giggled. "Still… I wonder how Rean is going."
"Considering Jusis and Machias in his group. It might be a problem." Gaius said.
"Yeah." I sighed. 'Hoping you're doing okay there, Rean.'
Okay, I'll be honest. I was having a hard time with thinking something original and this is what has come up with. Hope you don't feel disappointed. Well. Looks like we've witnessed Levi's S Craft!
