Note : Now Khan's next name is changed to Godra, because apparently Khan Kluay is already used for another fictional character.
So from now on, its called Khan Godra.
"It will be long and boring?" Khan asked him
"Yeah, there will be more time to hug each other eh.. eh." Felix said obviously not really wanting to teach him because it was also boring to him.
"Oh come on, then make it quick." Khan said.
"Nyahah, Kaan-Kyun don't worry, ill be a long time nyah, Don't worry, I won't leave you exhausted." Felix smirked
Khan obviously not having a human mind but that of a beastman, Felix's teasing flew right over his head.
After dinner, Khan was not doing anything else, and everyone went on with their duties.
'What do I do anyways? Now that I think of it again, I initially thought that I needed to gather as much information as possible as soon i got teleported, but i ended up worrying about where I would sleep and what I eat.' Khan thought, noticing his instincts lowkey controlling him without him noticing for the past 2 days.
'But now that sleep and food are granted, I can know the question where am I..?'
'Well, for kick starters I'm Lugunica, but other than the fact that I saw some beastman, or demi-humans and some humans together, and some buildings and stuff, and that book, I don't really know anything.'
after a while, about 30 minutes, Felix appeared outside looking for Khan, as Felix looked at him, Khan was static staring at the walls for no reason.
Felix approached Khan, and called him out
"Heya Kaan-Kyun, come back to me, there is still stuff you need to learn!" Khan just turned around to look down to Felix.
"Okay." Khan plainly answered.
"Okay?" Felix repeated after Khan
"It means approve." Khan just explained briefly.
"Well, let's go, the quicker the better." Felix hurried Khan
So Felix just went somewhere and Khan followed him but had to often stop to let Khan catch up.
And so eventually they sat down, and Felix opened one of the books that he carried with him and showed it to Khan.
"This is a grammar book Kaan-Kyun, this will improve your speech a lot better and be even more fluent"
"Well, let's get this over with nyah!" Felix said while having a joyful smile on his face
[Play Good Night by Rico Sasaki] (it's from an anime called Bofuri, it's a great RPG anime in terms of comedy and enjoyableness)
Khan was sitting in front of him, while Felix was teaching him the various rules and pronouns, nouns and etc (if there are any) and various word uses, Felix was teaching Khan, but not soon after Khan had a bubble coming out from his nose as he was asleep, then Felix shouted loud enough for Khan to come back from his slumber.
"See this? yes Kaan-Kyun this a noun, a noun."
After a few hours, Felix's mouth was comically opening and closing very fast as if he was speaking at impossible speeds while pointing at the book and Khan was following along, then time changed and it look like it was almost evening, Khan fell asleep on his back again, and Felix climbed on him, and crawled towards his face and poked a stick in his nose, which obviously awakens Khan, and he gets up and now Khan seemed to be angry since he's flailing his fist up in the air and started to open his mouth and shouting emoticon appeared, in the meanwhile, Felix ran away leaving his books behind as natural instinct but at the same time, he was laughing.
"UGH, what you doing! what is this-GRAAAAA!"
"Nyahahahah!"
Khan was now calmed down, Felix just simply returned and picked up the book, and started to teach him again the grammar book, and Khan just grimaced at that, not wanting to listen anymore.
But not soon after, Felix went away and after 10 minutes or so, he came back with some snacks for the both of them, there was some meat slices, and some cookies, which Khan obviously ate the meat, and Felix munched on the cookies, and they were sitting next to each other, for 10 minutes they were in a sort break, and Khan just looked around what everybody doing, the large structure was starting to having a recognizable shape, it seemed like it was a very big house, it had even a giant door frame, that seemed just slightly taller and larger than him, although, it was far from being finished, look like it would take a few weeks.
"That's a big house."
"Nya, Kaan-Kyun, that house it's for you!"
now it was late evening, and the night was starting to kill the rays of the sun, causing a sunset to form with the sun retreating away, and the dark sky of the moon was starting to appear in its place, however, there was still enough light to read, now looking back at the duo, both of them were lying on the ground, Khan was reading a book, seemingly Khan was repeating the words that the books were saying while using his finger as a pointer of where he was reading.
"This thing goes here, and this serves to connect a word to another, making it more fluid"
Felix was following along and corrected many errors and told Khan some words meaning, however, he noticed that Khan skipped some pages, and Felix climbed on his head and started to scold him while hugging his face, not letting Khan see and making him uncomfortable, Khan in response attempted to pull away Felix and came with success, as his overwhelming strength was way more than enough to pull Felix out of his face.
"KAAN-Kyun, you shouldn't skip pages, nyaha"
"Get off of my face"
"Ehe, eh... Can you drop Ferris Kaan-kyun?"
It was dinner and it was noisy as always, Crusch, Felix, and Khan just enjoyed her food, in the meanwhile, Wilhelm was filling in more food for Crusch until she didn't want to have any more food and everyone so enjoyed their food while chatting to each other, but this time around no one really asked Khan anything, seemingly have forgotten or they saw that Khan didn't really want to speak, although, it's more likely the latter.
"Kaan-sama, could you please tell me more about beyond the waterfal-"
"no"
it was starting to get night, everybody was on their break doing whatever they wanted, and there were still some guards roaming around the mansion, but they weren't as many as in the daytime, and everyone went to sleep, including Khan, he fell asleep.
The next morning, he was unexpectedly greeted by Felix in front of his face, he was literally the first thing he saw when he woke up, and Felix happily waved him with a smile, Khan didn't have any reaction though, but pushed Felix out of his sight, there was a plate with the same food as yesterday, meat, a lot of meat for Khan as breakfast.
"Good Morning Kaan-Kyun, anyways, breakfast here, eat up!"
"Get away of my face"
"How rude~ Kaan-Kyun"
Khan ate breakfast just fine, and not soon later they went back to studying again like yesterday, after a few errors and explanations and etc, they changed the book, it was folklore too like Khan had, but this one wasn't made for children, Khan opened the book and read it, it was definitely harder and more complex than the children one. Khan been repeating the words with a few stops for explanations of the words meaning or the context of the page.
"What is this word?"
"Indomitable, means invincible Kaan-Kyun."
After several chit-chat and mess here and there and some teachings between Felix and Khan.
"Hey Kaan-Kyun, I need to go for a bit, I'll come back soon." Felix said to Khan.
"Where are you going?" Khan asked Felix
"Well, two days ago Ferris sent a letter to my two friends, Ferris-chan invited them with Crusch permission, so they could meet you"
"Who is it?" Khan questioned
"Wellll, just meet them in person, they are here to meet you nya" Felix responded
So Felix walked away, supposedly opening the door gate for his two friends that Khan will soon meet.
Not soon after, Felix showed up along with what seemed like a man judging from his short hair and body.
"There he is, do you see that big demi-human? That's him!" Felix said to the man
"Yes, Felix-san, I see him." the man answered.
he has red hair, red eyebrows, and blue eyes, he also wore clothing, a white long coat with a cutaway front, and a black belt around his waist, he also had a sword that had a golden pommel, handle and guard, the blade was broad, there were also some scratches on the sword attached to the belt.
Khan didn't wasn't amazed by the aesthetics of the sword, as it look like just any other sword that he would commonly find on the ground, at least, where he would come from, but knowing the standards of this land, this sword would be quite beautiful... However, he wanted to know if the blade was enchanted or not, he could not detect magic because he didn't have the helmet on yet.
'Hmm, i have to be honest, his features kind of matches with the First Sword Saint.' Khan thought
eventually, the man with red hair walked up in front of Khan.
Then the man greeted him.
"Good morning, you must be Kaan Godra right?" the man asked
"I am Khan Godra, yes." Khan confirmed his question.
"Oh, I forgot, originally we were supposed to be in two to meet you, but my friend had to attend to other errands, I apologize on my friend's behalf" The man said.
"Anyways, who are you? You didn't tell me who you are yet." Khan said.
"Oh right, where are my manners? I apologize, I don't get to introduce myself very often Kaan-sama."
"My name is Reinhard Van Astrea, the current Sword Saint, it is a pleasure to meet you." Reinhard introduced himself to Khan with a polite smile.
'How many van astreas are out there? there are two of them, wait the other is an old man, so it's probably the grandfather of this one.. this one looks younger than Wilhelm... yeah, makes sense.' Khan thought
'This guy is also the successor of that human named Reid right? That means he's quite powerful I guess?'
"If I remember correctly, sama is used to refer someone in a higher position than yourself right? So why are you addressing me like that?" Khan questioned him
"Oh, from the letter i received, Felix-san told me that you are a demi-human from beyond the waterfall, I would never disrespect somebody of such importance." Reinhard said.
"Huh, okay? So you wanted to know too what's beyond the waterfall?" Khan asked.
"Well, no. But before that, I wanted to ask you something, if I may so." Reinhard asked him
"What is it?" Khan said.
"Is it true that you come from Beyond the Waterfall?" Reinhard asked Khan.
"Well, I did not purposefully come here, but I was transported here where everything is too different from where I came from, so yeah, I probably come from there." Khan said half explained.
Reinhard just observed him, then he turned to Felix and gave him a subtle nod.
'Why this feels the same way when Crusch was interrogating me?' Khan questioned
"Why did you ask me such a question?" Khan asked Reinhard
"Oh no, I just wanted to ask you that to see if you are speaking the truth, Kaan-sama." Reinhard clarified with a smile.
'He must have the same protection thing that Crusch has, good grief, another living lie buster.' Khan lamented in his thoughts
"Is there something wrong Kaan-sama?" Reinhard asked Khan worried.
"So, did you want something?" Khan avoided answering his question by asking another question.
"Well, no, I came here to see you upon my friend's request." Reinhard responded
"Okay, then I will ask you some questions instead." Khan told him
"I'll answer them if I have the knowledge of it." Reinhard said.
"What's the current situation of this kingdom? I read some books but those could be outdated." Khan asked him.
"Well, first of all, the Kingdom of Lugunica for the moment doesn't have a king so-" Reinhard then got interrupted by Khan
"Wait, this kingdom doesn't have a king? Wasn't Crusch the queen of this kingdom?" Khan said
Reinhard just looked at him, kind of surprised, but smiled and said
"No Kaan-sama, Crusch-sama is the candidate for the throne, currently not the king of Lugunica." Reinhard explained.
"Then what happened to the previous king? He got assassinated?" Khan asked
"Oh no, the king did not get assassinated, the Royal family died out because of a plague that ran through the Royal family." Reinhard told Khan
"Hm, you said that Crusch is a candidate for the throne, right?" Khan asked Reinhard implying there will be a question
"Yes, I did Kaan-sama." Reinhard said
"What does a candidate for the throne do?" Khan asked
"They are competing to become the king of Lugunica, by doing efforts to make Lugunica better, then the nobility will vote who will be elected to be the king of Lugunica." Reinhard said
"You are implying there is more than one that wants to be king." Khan said
"Yes, there is more than one." Reinhard confirmed.
"Hmm, how many humans wants to be king?" Khan asked
"There are supposed to be 5, but currently there are only 4." Reinhard responded to Khan.
"Huh, alright. Although, I want to know what is exactly a Sword Saint, because the books didn't tell me too much about them, will you tell me what is a Sword Saint?" Khan said.
"Sure Kaan-sama, a Sword saint it's a divine protection, a Sword saint is one chosen by the world to become the best warrior, which will also have access to every other divine protection available in the world, this divine protection is the only that will be inherited generation by generation." Reinhard explained.
'Divine protection Divine Protection Divine Protection, what exactly is that? i don't really get it.' Khan thought
"What exactly is a divine protection anyways?" Khan asked
"Well, a Divine protection is a gift from the world, it allows you to perform certain feats that nothing else can, like how i can tell you are lying or not, also, only those who are loved by the world are gifted with divine protections." Reinhard explained.
"So it's basically like magic?" Khan said.
"Magic? No, no. Most people actually can use magic." Reinhard said
"Wait, most people can use magic?" Khan asked.
"Yes, most people can use magic" Reinhard confirmed his question
"Well, from where I am, magic is very rare, it is said if you are capable of magic, you are loved by the world" Khan said
"Eeeh, magic beyond the waterfall it's as rare as a divine protection?" Felix who didn't move an inch from the start of the conversation suddenly jumped in the conversation.
"A divine protect is rare as my magic? I guess so." Khan said
"Kaan-sama, may I ask you a question?" Reinhard suddenly asked Khan
"What is it?" Khan replied
"What magic is like beyond the waterfall?" Reinhard asked
"Hmm, magic is rare, but it's simple to use, just know the name of the existing spell and you go firing, well, along you got enough magic reserves for it." Khan told Reinhard
"You told me that most can use magic here right? So what is magic like here?" Khan asked back the same question that Reinhard did
"Anyone can use magic, is a power that alters mana passing through a being's gate into a form that has an effect on reality, there are currently 6 elements for magic types." Reinhard said
"Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Yin, and Yang are the magic elements, each element can cast different and various spells."
"There is also El and Ul for each magic spell, which modifies the spell."
"And all Magic comes from Od Laguna, which is a pool of mana."
"Hmm, Kaan-kyun can you use the magic of Od Laguna?" Felix asked Khan.
"I don't know. I could try?" Khan said
"Wait not so fast Khan-Kyun, we gotta check inside of you so we can know what is your affinity, affinity means your magic element by the way."
'I don't know if I can even use magic here, I can use the magic of the 'beyond the waterfall' Well, let's try I guess.' Khan thought
"Ok." Khan said
"Can you kneel down so Ferri-chan can reach your head? Ferris can't know your magic affinity without touching you." Felix said to Khan
So Khan kneel down for Felix, Felix pointed his finger and touched Khan's forehead, and Felix started to see what was Khan Affinity, or at least, attempted to.
Felix's vision went black, but Felix didn't really panic, because he knew that he was looking into Khan's body to search for the Gate.
Felix knew that it would take some seconds to find the gate, so he continued to explore.
But several seconds later, he couldn't find anything, and he kept looking in the void.
But after a while, he found something, however, it was absolutely not what he was expecting..
It was something else entirely, it did not look like mana or a gate, nothing of the sorts.
It looks like something alive than an object...
Felix couldn't see what it was from the face, because it had its back turned to Felix, it appeared that it had a long cloak that reached the ground and it was 10 times bigger and taller than Felix, but after Felix acknowledged its existence, the entity turned his head but kept the back still facing Felix, and he was now showing half of... his face? It didn't look like a face, more like a mask, the mask was square, and he had chains on the front of the neck.
When the entity saw Felix, it turned its whole body to face Felix.
Felix looked at the entity's body, as expected, the cloak also covered the front of the body, and it reached the ground.
Then an unknown voice that seemed to bombard all around Felix said
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE!" a voice that Felix deduced that it came from the entity in front of him.
Felix tried to speak to the entity, but realized that his lips were sealed, he couldn't speak a word.
The entity opened his cloak from the front, to reveal there was even more void, and a pair of hands appeared from the void of the cloak, and one of the hands pointed at Felix.
"YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!" A bombarded voice told Felix.
The entity raised its hands to the sky and walls started to appear, forming a long corridor, Felix looked behind him to observe the length of the corridor, he couldn't even see the end, and the ground started to shake.
[Play 'Wilfuck - Esprit Torture']
"RUN, FUCKING RUN!" a voice bombarded Felix's ears
So Felix started to run in the opposite direction of the entity, and the entity chased after him.
Felix's heart pounded so hard that he could hear it, Felix's mana started to subconsciously flow into his body to allow him to run faster and longer.
On the floor of the corridor, obstacles started to appear, the obstacles were boxes, fences, spikes, or even walls that covered one side of the corridor, fortunately, they were far enough for Felix to react in time, so he just avoids them or jumps over them.
after a while of running, the corridor started to tilt upwards, until it reached a 45-degree angle, now Felix was slowed down by running uphill by just using his two legs, and in a frenzied panic, he resorted to using his arms as legs to run uphill even faster.
The obstacles even appeared there, but they always had space to squeeze in, or they only appeared on one side of the tilted corridor.
After a while of climbing, he reached a normal and stable floor where he could run normally, but then new obstacles appeared, those were two glowing circles on inside the other, and there were some text and symbols that Felix could not understand, but Felix decided not to step on them because they resembled magic traps during the Demi-human war.
Apparently, it was a wise decision because when Felix run past them, a spike came out of it, it was long enough to impale him.
and he ran and ran, his heart was still beating, and he still had a lot of mana, his legs were still moving and his eyes dilated at their maximum capacity, and he couldn't really hear much anymore.
until he found a corridor that was tilted, but it was tilted downhill, so with no other option, Felix slides down the corridor, there weren't any obstacles to stop him.
Felix continued to slide down, and he used his hands to slide even faster, he looked back and the entity was still chasing after him, with hands ready to grab him if he was close enough, but after a while, in the depth of the darkness, the ground was stable enough to run with two legs, but there was a big 5-meter moat in the corridor, and in the moat, there were all perfectly aligned spikes ready to kill him if he fell into the hole, however...
Far away, after the horde of spikes, there was a stable platform for Felix to land on, Felix saw this, having no choice, if he didn't do anything he would die, if he failed trying he would die, so he put all the mana he could into his legs, powering them up, and he went in a squat position, and he did a Leap of Faith.
He was now in the air, over the spikes that threatens to kill him.
1 meter he just jumped from the sliding platform and now hovering over the spikes
2 meters, he's still gliding in the air.
3 meters, he's now at the maximum height that he can do with a jump, and soon he will fall down.
4 meters, he's falling down to the floor, nearing the spikes.
4,50 meters, he's almost about to reach the spikes and the stable platform
4,95 meters, he's just 2 inches away from the platform, and the spikes
5 meters, he, fortunately, was able to step on the platform thanks to his toes touching the platform.
Now that the toes were the ones that touched the ground, thus distributing all the weight on them, he moved forward the other leg that was in the air and started to run normally after briefly stumbling, however, in that short movement Felix slightly tripped, two glowing circles on inside the other, and there were some text and symbols appeared in front of Felix, and Felix wasn't fast enough to dodge it, a spike came out of it, and impaled one of Felix's legs, thus stopping him, and the glowing circles disappeared, but there was still the spike stuck in his leg, so Felix quickly removed the spike and started to run.
But he was injured and he was limping, the entity was still going down on the sliding corridor, but at the slowed pace that Felix was running, it would undoubtedly catch up to him, so he cast a healing spell on his leg while he was running.
after a while, the entity finally reached where Felix jumped, and Felix was far away from where he originally jumped, but he was now slower than the entity and the entity was closing the gap quickly, the leg was almost healed.
"HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU USING MAGIC! I SEALED YOUR MOUTH!" A voice bombarded Felix's ears
But fortunately, the leg finally finished healing, so he relocated all the mana he had left in his limbs to run faster.
He continued to run, faster, run, faster and faster.
Obstacles were becoming bigger and more troublesome, as less space to squeeze through and higher jumps were required to surpass them.
And after several minutes, the chase was still on, Felix was starting to be tired as his muscles were starting to tear and rip, the more he ran, the less mana he had left, the obstacles started to have spikes on them, which if Felix touched it will make the hand bleed and tear until all there was left its a hand of a skeleton.
The only things that were left were the legs which mostly still had flesh, he continued to run, flailing his arms with flesh but only bones on the hands.
Until he saw something new, it was a door, an opened door that inside was glowing white, as if this was the way out of this void.
The obstacles disappeared and there was the door in full sight in front of him, the corridor started to restrict, as if he wasn't fast enough, the walls would crush him into a tin can.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!" a voice bombarded in Felix's ears.
But Felix didn't really care anymore, he continued to run to the source of light.
But then the door closed on Felix. Felix couldn't stop running, so he bumped into the door, falling to the ground, he then quickly got up and started to pound the door with his arms.
The entity was closing the gap quickly ready to grab him.
Felix looked behind him, with his back to the door, dread in his eyes.
Until he saw that another corridor opened.
It was a corridor full of obstacles and spikes, there were also tentacles flailing around, but all those obstacles had a bit of a gap to squeeze through, however...
At the end of the corridor, there was the same door with white light coming out, but, the most noticeable thing there were some spirits orbiting around the door, those were Od Laguna spirits.
So Felix with no other choice, ran in that direction, he avoided most obstacles, but bumped into a few of them and tears appeared on his hips and arms, but no none of that mattered anymore for Felix as he reached the opened door that shined the light out of it, he reached out and went through the door
"GET BACK HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" The voice became progressively quieter as soon as he went into the door.
Felix saw a blinding white, but he didn't feel touch the ground or see anything, he saw only white, he couldn't even see himself.
'What did I do.. to deserve this...' Felix thought
he soon saw something, it was colored, it was a square panel that showed himself, Khan, and Reinhard together, it was when Felix was checking what was Felix's affinity and Reinhard beside him, he swam through the blinding light to reach out the panel, he touched it...
And his vision started to glow into a yellow light.
Author: yes, this is the end of this chapter.
