Athenas True Motive and the Test of Kurokisei

  As Yasu starts making his way back to the castle, he could feel the difference in speed between his previous and current self

  “Man, this feels good to run around this fast”

  “It makes going back to Mist’s place so much easier”

  Upon arrival, Yasu hears cries of distress coming from MIst’s room

  “What stops it, Athena, do you know what will happen if someone found out what you have done!”

  “I don’t care princess, it was what I had orders for, now you must”

  “You won’t get to Mist that easily” Kate said

  “I won’t let you do this Mist!”

  “If you want to do it… do it to me first!” Kate shouted

  “I am not interested in you”

  “NNNOOOOO!!!” Mist cried

  Hearing the distress, I quickly ran to Mist’s room

  “I should have known that Athena was up to no good, being all cruel to me and everyone else, so that she could target Mist!”

  “Get away from her, Athena!” barging into the room without second thought

  And there stood Mist and Kate as well as Athena naked with Athena holding a measuring tape in one hand and a scale in the other

  “Yasu?!” Mist and Kate said

  “What are you doing here, didn’t you know that we are in here?!”

  “I thought that Athena was going to do something bad to you”

  “Even though it is bad, it isn’t that bad for you to come to save us”

  “Right, we can handle this ourselves” Kate replied

  “Oh alright, I will see you guys later, hahahaha” saying this in a monotone manner

  And just as I was going out, Athena stopped me

  “You have made a mistake coming back here”

  She then raises her murasama knife at me and stuck me before Mist could say anything as she was embarrassed

  Though, luckily, nothing happened as I see Athena struggling to stab me

  This then reminded me that I could block attacks now

  Giving her a smug look, she got even more pissed, in which she grabbed another knife, a kitchen knife and stabbed me

  This time however, the blade did hit me instead of my passive blocking it for me

  Feeling the blood flow out of my body… I lose consciousness and died for the first time

  *Your soul is now a wandering soul*

  As I say my dead boy and Athena pulling the knife out of my dead body

  I looked at myself, I was transparent

  “So I’m a ghost now”

  “Looks like you died this time”

  I looked at where the voice came from and there I saw a little girl holding a plushie of a something, though I don’t know what it was

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  “Who are you?”

  “Oh, that isn’t important right now”

  My surroundings then disappeared and I reappeared in void with the girl

  “Are you a reaper?”

  “How dare you, you think I look like a reaper to you”

  “I don’t know, never met one”

  “You know what, that isn’t important” she said once again

  “I need to tell you something”

  “Beware of what is about to come to you”

  “The person you should look out for will be in your party”

  “Her name is-”

  Her voice then cutted out

  And I woke up seeing Kate on the side of my along with Mist and Kasey all dressed

  They were all happy to see me alive again

  Everyone except Athena hugged me

  “Thank god, my revive worked” Kate said

  “You should have stayed dead” Athena murmured which no one heard

  “So what were you guys doing earlier when I was gone?”

  “Oh...uh...we were doing our measurements…” Mist replied blushing

  “Yeah, until you barged in” Kate added on

  “Oh by the way, did you get the arts?”

  “Yeah”

  “Wow, that’s so cool can you show me it?”

  “It just did earlier, when Athena struck me once, though my skill was unlocked though force”

  “Oh, but still doesn’t that mean you can open our sword now?”

  “Yeah”

  “Let me see it!”

  “Oh alright, as I got Kurokisei out and unsheathed the sword

  Coincidentally, the sword’s blade was black and the hilt was also black and had an outline of blue to it, though I don’t remember seeing the hilt being black

  “Can I carry it” Kate all excited

  “Sure” as I handed Kate the sword, Kate accidentally dropped it

  “Sorry, hehe” as she when to pick it up, couldn’t pick it up

  And once she did she asked, “Wow, your strong Yasu for carrying something this heavy”

  “Heavy?”

  “Can I swing it and cut something?”

  “Uh sure?”

  She then swung the sword and instead of swinging it around in the air, she used Yasu as a target

  “Ehh, this sword isn’t sharp”

  “It is more of a blunt weapon then a sword”

  “That is not fun” as she handed Yasu back Kurokisei

  Yasu takes it back with ease, “Wait, Kurokisei isn’t heavy”

  “Then it must be that you’re strong”

  “Yeah, right, give me that sword” Athena said

  Yasu then hands over Kurokisei to Athena and surprisingly Athena fell to the ground with the sword

  Unable to pick it up, Yasu picks it back up

  “So this sword only lets its wielder hold it”

  “But that sword, can’t cut anything” Kate added

  “Maybe we should try it outside”

  We all headed outside to try Kurokisei out

  “You can try and cut that tree” Mist points at a tree in her backyard

  “That one has been bother my view of the kingdom” as she points at the top of the tree and points to a window where Mist’s room was

  “Alright” as I was ready to cut the tree, I performed a quick draw stance and quickly unsheathes the sword cutting the tree (This was an ability that I got when my arts leveled up from blocking one of Athena’s attack)

  “...” as the tree that Yasu just cutted didn’t fall

  “You’re right this sword can’t cut anything”

  Everyone when to the tree that Yasu attempted to cut and saw now cut within the tree

  “Yeah that sword isn’t good, we should try to return it or sell it to another blacksmith tomorrow” Kate said

  “But how do we give it to him, if he nor other people can carry it?”

  “We will find out tomorrow” as the night got darker

  We all then headed back the castle to clean ourselves and went to bed to end the day

  “OH MY GOD!” Mist cried

  This resulted in everyone rushing in to the see that Mist was looking out the window

  “Was there an intruder” as Athena opened the window to check if there was any one outside

  “There is no one, princess, you must have had a bad night”

  “No, look” as she pointed out of her window showing the view of the kingdom

  “And what does that view have to do with being excited, princess?”

  “Oh I see it know” Kate replied

  “Look at what you did Yasu” as she pushed Yasu to the window, allowing Yasu to see that the tree wasn’t standing any more

  “It was cut in half and fell down yesterday, so that means that you just cutted the tree so fast and precise that it still stood upright”

  “Then how come we didn’t hear it fall last night?”

  “This castle is completely soundproof as well as shockproof, meaning that we couldn’t hear nor feel the fall of the tree, though I am sure that the people outside did” Athena replied

  “So we don’t have to sell Kurokisei?” Yasu said happily as he hugges his sword

  “Now that that is covered we can now go do some quests after we have breakfast”

  “Yeah!” as everyone was cheerful

  As everyone when down the dining room, Athena remained in the room to see the trunk of the tree to have specks of a black substance that was barely noticeable

  “Athena! Are you going to come down to eat!” Mist asked

  “Coming, Princess” as she left the room
