Ray of the sun Shines through a creak in the window, kuro opens his eyes and could see the ray entering his room. for some reason this sight made him feel relaxed, he sits upright on his bed
'two days have passed since my arrival in this world , its kinda like back then
he remembered his first time in Japan an unknown country to him, he was fortunate to have met those he met, and of course he also remembered the terrible incident that led to him coming here
"I wonder how everyone is doing back over there..."
steps...!
"hmm".
knock knock..!
" come in"
the person opens the door, it was diane , she had come to get kuro so that they could begin their morning chore
after kuro had defeated the Minotaur attacking the village, Diane brought him to the orphanage,and introduced him to all the children, she hid the details behind him and also their grandmother death from the children.
even though Diane looked about the same age as kuro,19yrs, the responsibility of her grandmother had fallen on her. she now had to look after the chilldren . but kuro wasn't going to let her do it alone.
Kuro could still remember the curious gaze the children were giving him when he first arrived, so in order to calm their hearts he performed some wind tricks for them which made the children excited they also learned that he was the one who fought the Minotaur, and their excitement level got even higher. they were happy someone strong enough to beat a Minotaur had settled at their place. they asked him a lot of questions till the night ended.
"are the kids still sleeping "?
he asks Diane who was still standing in front of him
" yes"
"..."
kuro then gets up pick up a change of clothes and headed out with Diane very early in the morning
scene close
in the middle of the forest just a bit far from the village, a Strong's wind is blowing and breaking off some tree branches,of course the cause of this wind was kuro and his training.
'Discard Rend'!
A skill kuro had made for himself
kuro was holding a branch he broke off a tree , and everytime he strikes with it,whirlwinds shoots forth from the branch and rends its target flesh, though there were only trees around.
the branch later broke after a few dozen of strikes with it
"I guess that's as far as I can go with a branch,guess its time I try out the second one".
air began gathering on his left palm rapidly till it formed a glowy ball of high-density atmospeheric air the size of his palm,when the attack was ready he spots a hill ahead of him and shoots it toward it
swisssssh...
Boooomm...!
like the sound of a TNT going off, a portion of the hill was blasted away in an instant
'Air Bomb'
even Diane let out gasp of astonishment after seeing that shocking spectacle
kuro turns around to see Diane had finished picking up some vegetables , and she was also starting to arrange the woods broken down by kuro,
kuro then creates a spiral wind from his hands and used it like a sweeper to push and gather the remaining woods to one spot, then he began loading them unto the drawn cart they borrowed
" you know if other air users should see what you did back there, they would pay you a lot of money to teach them, you'll would make a small fortune".
"hmm"
but then Diane was surprised at his next comment
"but even so I can't sell out this skill for any amount".
with a surprised look she asked
"and why is that?"
"A trump card lose's it's meaning once everyone knows how to use it. and I want to have a lot of trump cards in a fight".
its was a satisfactory answer for Diane
but then again kuro was curious of attacks air users in this world had
"are there any other A-rank lethal spell like the wind blade you talked about".
"-hmm , excluding wind blade, air users don't really have attacks that can kill an enemy target in one go. their basic fighting style is smothering their enermy with heavy winds attack till they pawhirlwind
rarely, lose their lives.
an experienced air user attacks their opponent aggressively so as not to give them any breathing room".
" I see"
'so air user smother their opponent hard because of lack of enough one kill spell. hmm, Wait a minute'
kuro then ask Diane another question
"you said wind blade was an A-rank lethal spell..."
"-yes"
Diane replys
"then there must be an S-rank spell"
"-yes that is correct, i believe it goes by the name 'MAUL DAWN'.
I heard it's so strong that regular old weapons can't handle the force and breaks down after one strike, one will need a strong armament in order to use an S-rank attack such as that"
kuro expression became more serious as he asks again
"have there being reports of someone actually using it"
"-yes , there is a Knight currently in the capital who is able to use it and some other few veteran,"
finished loading the last piece of wood on the cart.
then rubs his palms together to shake off his dusty palm
" ho if you want there is a river just ahead you can go clean up there".
"ho thanks".
kuro then heads for the river
...
kuro Washes his face by the river, then he stops to look at his reelection on the surface of the water
" I can't believe my hair colour actually turned full white.
could it be due too the shock I experienced when I got sniped and was on the brink of death, or perhaps the summoning magic.
well I guess there's no point pondering over it"
he get up and then stretches his gaze over the river . its was then an idea suddenly hit him.
the 'Air Bomb' skill he created still had a flaw he couldn't overlook and that was the time its took to fully manifest itself, when in combat speed is of utmost importance and an attack that takes more than 7seconds to materials will one they put him in a tight spot.
kuro needed to shorten the spawn time, so he thought of trying to materialize it under water which would prove to be more difficult, but if he can improve the manifestation time of the 'Air Bomb' under water then it stands to reason he will be able to do it more faster on land.
"I don't want to keep Diane waiting so I'll make it quick"
he then dives into the water
...
kuro and Diane we're done with what they needed to do and were heading back to the village
kuro while pulling the cart was carrying a stiff face
'shit it was longer, it took me 15seconds to create an air bomb under water,and even when I concentrated with all my might it only reduced to 12seconds. even though air can be found on water the pressure is still too thick for me to control'
his thought was suddenly interrupted by diane
"is it hard for you to pull"
kuro tilted his head to the side were Diane was
" say what"
"your face looks troubled, I thought the cart was ...
kuro suddenly interrupts her
" shh"
Diane With a wry expression ask
"what is it?"
then a light grin etched up up on kuro's face as he let's go of the cart, he then reaches for the middle of the cart and pulls out a sheathed sword. he takes a few step forward before unsheathing the sword.
wind began gathering around the blade , kuro cock's the sword behind him like a batter with both hands then takes a full swing
'Discard Rend'
WOOOOSHHHH...!!!!
A huge wave of whirlwind blew across and tore everything in front
siice...
kieeeahk!
it was then goblins in pain from their flesh being torn from the whirlwind fell to the ground. some died when their bodies were torn and those that survived were writhing in pain.
"those bastards were hiding up the trees waiting to ambush us".
he sheathed the sword back and put it among the cart lodging, then he looks at Diane and ask
" I'll like to use take some of the goblin corpse is that OK"
Diane who manages to maintain her composure nodded back
the 'Discard Rend' kuro used with a sword was far stronger than when he was using a branch
multiple trees were torn down from the whirlwind
'I guess using a real weapon makes all the differences' kuro thought
so kuro loaded the goblin corpse on the cart.
and so they continued towards the village.
