The Oda 's Relic

"So we were just checking your training, no need to get annoyed " coughed Boss Elven. He was the one who was feeling most embarrassed.

When Bushin proposed the idea, he was totally against such an act but who was he to stand against the wish of 'legendary Bushin'. In the end, even against such a test, he had to act as an examiner of the test.

"Come on, don't lie Elven, You were the one enjoying thrashing these youngsters."

Elven was dumbstruck by his words, he hurriedly cleared his stance,

"Hey, I was not enjoying or anything. Bushin, please don't make me Sadistic guy in their eyes."

"Hahaha, I was just kidding. You are still the same as earlier wanting to present an ideal warrior image of yourself to others."

Sauren and Zeph moved along while chatting with Bushin and Elven and unknowingly arrived at a tea shop on the road towards the city.

They looked toward the shop and was surprised that it was serving even at this hour. They entered the shop and four of them choose a table to sit down at.

"This is the shop which serves twenty-four seven to the travelers. It was quite outside the city thus act as a rest station for various travelers.

I found this shop while traveling a few years ago. It serves simple food and tea but is still one of the best shops out there. No need for masks here, the owner's family is not pushy."

Introduced Elven to all of them. He knocked at the nearby bell to summon the shopkeeper for taking the order. Soon a middle-aged man in simple clothes arrived to take the order and was surprised to find four travelers there. Usually, only one or two travelers travel at night.

He politely greeted them and asked their orders. He was about to go back when one of the guests said,

"It looks like Mr. Oarin failed to recognize me."

Upon hearing such words Oarin stopped and then looked at the face of the guest carefully. He found the smiling face somewhat familiar, then it suddenly struck him.

"Oh, you are Mr. Elven! I failed to recognize you earlier. But that's your mistake, You used to come to our shop quite regularly a few years back but then suddenly you stopped coming altogether."

"Ah, It is my mistake. I forgot to inform you about a change of routes of my business, thus left this route for traveling. I introduce you to my uncle, he is called Bushin and these two youngsters are children of a friend of mine, came with me to learn some experience of trade."

Shopkeeper bowed humbly to all of them, "Oarin of oda family greets you. Don't worry I will give you a twenty percent discount today on my best dishes."He went away to prepare fresh dishes for the guests.

Bushin who was just smiling earlier suddenly found himself shocked at the name of his family.

He immediately asked Elven,

" Oda family, That…...Oda family "

"Yes, this was also my idea to introduce you to the remnant of the Oda family which is supposedly disappeared from warriors families of the past. So about the relic, you have to decide."

Sauren and Zeph were confused about the Oda family, so they asked about it to Elven while Bushin was lost in deep thought. He was seldom seen seriously pondering over some issue and it was that rare time.

"The Oda family was one of the large warrior families with the inheritance of thousands of years. They had powerful relics and artifacts comparing with the name of their family. One such relic was Fubikani armor. It was a cursed relic of previously lost history with a powerful spirit of its own.

Spirit was so scary that it can even forcefully control the third eye level warrior wearing it. So after many losses, elders of the family sealed it in their treasury.

Muniater Oda peak talented genius of the family appeared about 100 years ago. He had so powerful psyche that he was destined to become the forerunner of the Human generation.

But the spirit of armor was proved to be stronger than seals, It enticed the Muniater to open it for power. It was realized it didn't try to resist earlier because it didn't find worthy human to control which changed with the appearance of Muniater.

One day out of curiosity of calling voices, Muniater opened the seals of a relic which resulted in the tragedy of the decade. The Fubikani Armour was so powerful, it massacred the whole oda family as punishment to try to seal it, then proceeded with the further killing of several warriors of human generation.

Then after many indiscriminate killing, one-day Muniater in armor simply disappeared. It became a mystery of that time, some said he went to demons territory, some said relic lost its power, etc."informed Elven about the story of the relic.

Bushin then continued the rest of it," Now the appearance of Oda family suggests that Muniater must have got back control over relic and thus was able to remove armor but with his guilt, he decided to live a quiet life.

Now the question about relic "

He looked towards Elven.

"I investigated Relic is with the family but is sealed most bizarrely. After much efforts in collecting information, I managed to know that their ancestor sealed this relic and said

'no one is to know about the relic, even family members, only who are not on the path of warriors can know about it. If one day warrior is born in the house, that newborn should be immediately sent to some other place to live in.'

" This means he had chosen to sever his bloodline power to make Oda family a common family. For the next ten generations, no warrior would be born in the family. Such sacrifice is praiseworthy "sighed Bushin.

" No need of disturbing relic, no leakage of information should be done of oda family, understood "

Ordered Bushin in a serious voice. Zeph, Sauren, and Elven nodded to express their understanding.

"Here is the shop's famous dishes fresh out of the oven. Enjoy the meal "

The shopkeeper came with dishes and tea to the table.

All of them enjoyed the meal and tea and were satisfied with the quality and taste of the food.

"So Sauren what did you decide, about my offer?" Asked Bushin directly as he gulped down the last remaining of his tea.
