Chapter 69 - Test your skills

Rein walks with Hikiro thrown over his shoulder. Hikiro punches his back and screams at the top of his lungs

Hikiro: "LET ME GO! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM YOU BRUTE?! I AM HIKIRO WARRI! THE SON OF TATSKI WARRI AND…and…who is my father…"

Rein: "I don't care who your mom is! You're a disrespectful brat! I'm a god damn Swordsmaster give me some respect!"

Maroshima: "Maybe we all should just calm down and-"

Rein/Hikiro: "AW SHUT UP DUMBASS!"

Maroshima: "Jeez…"

Rein drops Hikiro and dust himself off. Hikiro stands up brushing his short black and white hair. He grins flipping rein off. Hikiro runs off laughing maniacally

Rein: "Good grief. How did Hiro and Tatski make such a brat…"

Maroshima: "Hiro? Who's Hiro?"

Rein: "What? You know Hiro stop making dumbass jokes…"

Maroshima: "I-I'm not joking…what are you talking about?"

Rein stares at her confused…he walks over to a random woman and grabs her shoulder

Rein: "Who is Tatski Warris husband? My friend over there is acting pretty dumb."

Woman: "Lord Tatski doesn't have a husband? She's been single ever since she took over the country!"

Rein steps back confused…he turns over to another person getting the same result…he scratches his head in confusion

Rein: "What the hell is going on…"

Mimoria runs over carrying a small bag of fruits and vegetables. Rein looks at her and walks over

Rein: "There you are Mimoria. Do you remember who Hiro is?!"

Mimoria: "What? Uncle Hiro is Aunt Tatskis husband…"

Rein: "I see…anyways it's time to start your trainings. First we're going to get you a sword crafted."

Mimoria: "A-Alright!"

They walk through the city eating from the fruits and vegetables Mimoria brought with her…They arrive at a large shop. Mimoria stares up at it with wide eyes of amazement.

Mimoria: "This is where we'll be getting my sword?…"

Rein: "Nope!"

Rein points at a rundown shack next to the building. Her eyes lower and she stares at the shack with a look of disappointment. They walk into the shack and the walls are filled to the brim with various weapons. An old Man walks from the back wearing a long black cloak while holding a pipe

Rein: "If it isn't old man Rayshe!"

Rayshe: "Ouu if it isn't my best customer! Reinhard how is everything?"

Rein: "Can't complain old man! This is Mimoria and Maroshima! These are my students"

Mimora: "H-hello…"

Maroshima: "How's it going!"

Rein: "I need you to make a sword for Mimoria!"

Rayshe stares at Mimoria calculating her strength…he opens his eyes and they glow red…she closes his eyes and turns back to rein.

Rayshe: "Her strength isn't ready to handle one of my blades…she has no Yawe. Without that key component I can't create a blade accurate enough to match her Yawe or her fighting ability."

Rein: "I was afraid of that happening…well lend us a blade for her training at least"

Rayshe: "That's something I can do!"

They walk out of the shop a few moments later. Mimoria carries a short sword on her back while struggling to hold it up.

Rein: "Now that we have this sword we can start your training. For your first lesson. You have to survive Maroshima."

Mimoria: "H-huh"

Maroshima draws her sword…Mimoria steps back terrified…Rein vanishes while Maroshima slowly stalks forward holding her sword behind her back

Mimoria: "W-what are you doing!? What kind of training is this?!"

Maroshima: "Master Rein had me undergo the same training…this will make you stronger…"

Maroshima dashes forward slashing downward toward Mimoria. Mimoria jumps to the side terrified. She turns around and begins running through the city terrified.

Maroshima runs behind her slashing through buildings and random objects. Mimoria runs into a bar filled to the brim with Mahrogu soldiers. The soldiers turn to Mimoria confused…Maroshima burst through the ceiling swinging her sword decapitating the closes soldiers

Maroshima: "Get out of my way!"

The bar explodes with angry roars and screams. The men lunge forward grabbing Maroshima from every angle…she swings her sword elegantly creating large cherry blossom petals. The petals cut through the men like a hot knife in butter…Maroshima stares at Mimoria as blood drips down her face…Mimora stares petrified…she fumbles with the sword on her back holding it in her hands…

Maroshima: "Use the sword Mimoria. Or I will kill you."

Mimoria: "F-fuck you!"

Maroshima jumps from the table and axe kicks Mimoria through the floor into the basement below. Mimoria lands in a storage room covered in rubble. She stands up slowly and hides in a locker…Maroshima walks through the storage room slowly dragging her sword behind her…

Maroshima: "Mimoria…why are you hiding from me…come out and fight me…"

Mimoria shakes in fear as Maroshima slowly walks past the locket she's in…Mimoria grips her sword close to her chest softly praying that Maroshima doesn't find her…

Maroshima: "Okay…that's how you want to play…Mink. Come out"

A small fairy flys from Maroshimas blade…she twirls around in the air as cherry blossom leaves fall behind her

Mink: "Yes master Maroshima?"

Maroshima: "Find Mimoria…"

Mink instantly points at the locker where Mimoria is…Maroshima walks over to the locker and slices it in half. The locker tips over and Mimorias headless corpse falls over…Maroshima stares at her corpse with a look of disappointment

Maroshima: "I guess you were too weak."

….

..

.

Mimoria wakes up in the locker a few moments before. She rubs her neck as flashbacks of her death flash through her mind…she jumps from the locker holding her blade. Maroshima stares at Mimoria runs forward swinging the sword wildly in random directions. Maroshima slaps her sword away and grabs her by the neck

Maroshima: "That was a start…but not enough to kill me."

Maroshima stabs her sword through Mimorias stomach. Mimoria coughs up blood and panics as she begins slowly bleeding out…she weakly punches Maroshima in the face trying to get away…Maroshima stares blankly at her as she plunges her sword deeper killing Mimoria instantly….

..

??: "WAKE UP MIMORIA!!"

Mimoria wakes up in the locker again…her mind racing with the thoughts of yet another death…her jumps from the locker scared but annoyed. Maroshima locks eyes with her and lunges forward

Mimoria ducks at the right time but Maroshima grabs her by the face and throws her through a solid brick wall into the building next door.

Mimoria: "Fuck!"

Mimoria runs up the stares of the building into a restaurant. She looks around at the people as she runs through the building

Mimoria: "I have to think of something!"

Maroshima burst through the floor slicing through Mimorias skin. Her arm launches from her body and she drops to her knees screaming at the top of her lungs…Maroshima calmly walks over and holds up her sword…

Maroshima: "You got so close…you're just not understanding…"

Maroshima executes Mimoria grabbing her head and throws it on a table. She wipes the blood from her sword and sighs

Maroshima: "Good grief"

..

.

Mimoria wakes up in the locker yet again…this time laughing angrily. She opens the door of the locker and steps out. Maroshima stares at her as she laughs pointing the sword at her

Mimoria: "What more do you want from me?! What more do I need to do!!"

Maroshima: "What are you-"

Mimoria lunges forward swinging her sword wildly. Maroshima clashes with Mimoria throwing her back a few inches

Mimoria: "I've died 4 times! FOUR FUCKING TIMES AHAHA! I'm not going to let that happen again…"

Maroshima appears behind Mimoria and chops her in the back of the throat. Mimoria loses consciousness and falls forward…Maroshima smiles softly and chuckles

Maroshima: "You've passed the first test!"
