"um...I can explain"
"So you're looking for the city of swords huh?"
Sally laughed it off before signalling Ed to follow her. They walked for a while till they got to the car sally came with.
I wonder how old she is...
"You might be wandering how old i am right?..."
Ed remained silent, shocked by what Sally's discovery.
"You face gave you out... what are you going to the city of swords to do?"
"To explore..."
Ed was unsure whether he should inform her of his quest
"... and to find the skyblade"
"Oh... There's an auction for the skyblade tomorrow. Let's go around the city of swords for now."
She signalled the driver to drive off while watching the scenery. Ed stared out the window for a while until sally answered his question
"By the way,I'm 14 "
"Whoa... Then we're age mates"
They talked in the car discovering each other's likes and hates until they arrived in front of a guild
"Oh let's go..."
Ed stepped out of the car ahead of Sally and walked towards the door. As he approached,a worker brushes him off with a sick tune
"Hey... Watch where you're going you poor freak. We don't sell scrap stuffs here"
"Huh?"
Oh no—
Before Ed could say a word,sally had caught up to him and heard what the worker said.
"Stop!... don't kill her"
The man pointing a blade at her from behind heeds and lowers his weapon. Sally on the other hand was furious, surprisingly enough,it wasn't a joke to her anymore, like she forgot they were acting
"Hey...big brother, let me have a word with her for a second;hey you, the next time this repeats itself, you'll die..."
Soon after, the guild master walks out, accompanied by the vice guild master. They apparently heard a commotion outside and came to check
"What's going on here?"
Seeing her employer,she turned and stood behind him and smiled
"May I ask for an ex—"
What?!...why is she here?
Sally walked towards the woman, who hid behind someone's back to laugh. As she approached, the guild masters bowed shocking her
"You chose to hide and laugh... foolish"
"Young lady...may I ask why you're in our humble city?"
"My brother has woken from his slumber and wanted to go around the city so I wanted to give him a tour of the city of swords, but then..."
"I apologize for her rudeness... She's simply foolish. If I may ask, where is your brother?"
Sally turns back and points him,who stood at the background listening in on the scene. After surveying him, the guild masters rose to their feet and walked up to him
"Young master... please follow us, we'll give you a tour of guild"
They all walked in, leaving the woman outside as punishment. After surveying the place,Ed decided to ask about the skyblade his system had notified him on
"Skyblade you say...."
"..."
"The skyblade,was forged in the sky, during the eve of the Endo war. Wielding unknown powers,only 3 people have successfully used it's powers. Despite that, there has always been contention between countries as to who could weild the sword the best,and Japan came out first "
He added
"Oh and did i forget to add, the skyblade is part of a sword collection of 12 weapons called resolve collection. Wielding even one of the blade would grant you a random resolve abilities out of the twelve available.
Resolve huh... In my world, the three headed dragon's resolve was the most used and most known of all. I can't wait to get a resolve power up in this world
While they talked, Sally went with the vice guild master to secure a spot in the auction for Ed. Since she was a mage,there was no need for a sword in her arsenal. Nevertheless, she was going to the auction to bid for something else
"If I may ask,is the young master really strong?,i honestly felt no pressure from him."
"He is strong"
He is strong. I could feel it when I stopped his attack. He wasn't using any skills or enough energy,but the force could temporarily close my meridian in my hand despite not realizing
After sorting out the important stuff,they got back into the car and drove off,back to their manor. On the way, Sally receives a call and answers. Seconds later her countenance changed
"Sally?"
"Big brother... after the auction, I'll be traveling for a while"
"Oh... okay"
"Driver, what date is today?"
"The 19th..."
"Wow...21st is the day gap is gonna be executed. Too bad my family want me dead "
Ed looked out of the window, while sally who was lost in thoughts remained silent till they reached the manor.
Later that night, Ed sat on the roof observing the night sky in silence. Soon after,a system screen popped up
Proficiency -0.00%
Achievement:revenger.
Title: the one who became rich>
Ed sighed to the sky,then rested his back n the chimney and closed his eyes. The next morning,he went to the training grounds to began a training routine while the maids got up. His room is arranged and organized while he continues his training
Sally went to meet him in the training grounds after sorting out her morning.
"Big brother... Why didn't you sleep in your room yesterday "
Ed smiled before answering
"The truth is ,I don't feel comfortable sleeping there... Let's just say I'm not used to it"
I can't explain further for now...
A maid comes to call Sally and she exits with him. Before she leaves, she drops a message
"Oh,big brother... You're fiancé will be visiting soon."
Huh?... Fiancé,I hope it isn't who I think it is
Ed freshened up and went to the armoury to select a weapon. When he got inside,the door closed behind him, sealing his exit
