5th chapter : ancestors .
After getting into the antique store, Marco, Alice and Carla had talked to its owner. An old man named Eyezar appears to be an old friend to Marco’s grandfather.
“Go ahead and choose”.
Eyezar said calmly as he was waiting for Marco to get some good serments therefore Marco himself wasn’t expecting to get what he got.
Later that day.
“Pfft, hahaha!! A merely broken edge of a longsword. Seriously, your luck ran out this time!!”
Carla said as she was looking at Marco wearing some glasses. He was sitting on the couch at the restaurant with Emilis and the rest of the guild members.
“Don’t tease me like that, I mean I just felt it was the right thing to use, and those glasses as it’s seal state is kind of good for my current me”.
Marco replied to her teasing as he was kinda not upset for what he got , Emilis took a good look at his glasses as he felt a strange vibe from them.
“Marco kun? Could you release it again here? I want to make sure of something?” Emilis said as he was looking at Marco closely.
“Of course ….. Well , how do I do that again?” Marco replied but stupidly answered, not giving any effort in his attempt.
“Pfft and you don’t even know that !! What kind of holder are you!?”
Carla kept teasing him then Emilis smiled at her,
“It's your responsibility to teach him about such simple stuff, so tease him once more and I’ll have you work triple the load of your work”.
Emilis had a scary smile, Carla took some steps to the back and bowed apologizing.
“Now, Marco, could you imagine the process of the water melting?” Emilis asked a question “Of course you can!! then try to make the process of something being poured inside your hands and get transferred right to the glasses to fill the bowl. the rest will work on itself” Emilis explained briefly what Marco had to do to release his serment.
Marco took a deep breath then took his glasses off as the euro particles were unleashed furiously creating some after waves. Everyone was a little shocked to see that Marco’s process was kinda different as the euro normally has a slight light around the seal state and shines a little before it could be fully released. Marco wasn’t impressed a lot but he started to swing and play with his short black sword as if he had it years ago.
“That's what I thought? that wasn’t a broken sword, but rather than broken, you can say it is its hold, your sword is like a long dagger, and you seem to already know how to use it, make sure to use it at full ” Emilis stated.
Everyone looked to Marco who had no reaction to what Emilis spoke about, after that small talk they were about to start work.
“Huh, you mean you never used a sword before, but you seemed awfully skillful with that black sword” Alice said as she was cutting the vegetables.
“not really, well to be more honest this what happened..” Marco replied as he told them what happened to him that moment
…………………..
Earlier before Marco took his serment.
“Give us some respect!!”. Yuna said as she caught Marco by his back and slammed him to the ground.
“That hurts and could you explain more, I don’t remember meeting you in my life and not if you were my grandfather’s friends too” Marco responded as Yuna slapped him again.
“Well, well, let’s not get into violence ok, Yuna let him go” Cedric interjected as he told Yuna to let Marco go and so she did.
“Hmm, you really don’t remember anything? not the slightest memory about who we are?” Selicia asked as she looked closer to him.
“Well, I don’t blame him, for now, we gotta make him remember the way we fight, Yuna, he’s all yours” Cedric sighed as he was looking at Marco who had a poker face from all what was going on.
Marco saw Yuna licking her lips as she snapped her fingers and the ground around them became full of weapons as it all accumulated in one single white sword.
“Now prepare yourself, because I don’t think I’m someone who would let you pass the training” Yuna smiled as she took a stance facing Marco who sighed in response to her smile,
“Seriously what kind of place is this, I don’t really understand what’s happening” Marco pleaded as he stood there clueless. Yuna ignored him and swung her sword closely to his left cheek leaving a small cut.
“I won’t say it again, move on and fight for yourself ” Yuna re-speaked her words as she looked dead serious.
“Sigh, I don’t have a choice” Marco calmly dashed towards her, starting the attack using some wind in both of his arms.
Yuna calmly dodged his attacks and severely cut him in both arms concealing the wind he used, therefore Marco didn’t stop from fighting and attacked her again right after she passed through him. But with no use, she landed some fatal blows, slashing him multiple times and blowing him to the other side each time he tried to land a hit. As the whole floor was filled with Marco’s bloodstains, he took a deep breath and exhaled all his breaths, his euro pressure started to unleash itself.
Yuna and the other two felt a change in Marco’s euro as it became more dense the moment they smiled. Marco had a calm and dead glare at Yuna while being filled with injuries. In the second that Marco started his attack, his body acted on its own and did some sign to see all the bloodstains becoming black euro particles and got gathered in one single spot in Marco’s hand as his black short sword suddenly appeared. And without a single chance for hesitation to cross his mind, Marco clashed with Yuna, attacking her continuously. He landed some hits as his movements became sharper.
…………………….
present time, back at the restaurant’s office.
“So in the same time, the one who were looking for the glasses or the sword in the antique sword was you but not you, and the second you stopped you found yourself again in the middle of the store, quite the unbelievable story but I guess we live in a world full of mysteries I’d accept this”, Xavier replied to Marco’s small story about what happened to him.
“Well for me, it’s the first time to hear such a thing like this, well, it seems you got some kind of strange sword, since it’s just the first release you gotta work your ass hard to figure out what kind of skills that little guy could be hiding”. Alice spoke with a cheerful smile on her face, Marco looked at her but he couldn’t get that idea out of his mind.
