God Of The Sword

(Akihito POV)

After I finished making the dimension of "pure energy" for Mia I let her meditate in it, train, and come up with some abilities. Of course I made it so that time is faster there for faster progress.

After that we decided that that was enough work for the day and went out to eat. That brings us to now.

"Honestly, I didn't even think gods needed to eat." I said to her as we looked around. There were multiple shops and stuff. Places for scrolls, libraries, and lots of houses.

"Well we don't but the normal Demigods do. We just eat because it's the best luxury in life." She said.

"Now you tripping. Sleep before food any day." I said.

"Nope as long as I got food I don't gotta sleep at all." She said shaking her head.

"Of course a Woman would choose food over sleep. You probably don't even know what type of food you like." I said.

"I like any and all types of food, because it's food." She said and turned to look at a cafe.

"Like this place. I come here everyday and they serve the best everything." She said.

Over the course of time in that dimension we talked and played around a bit, but it was mostly training and coming up with plans for the future. Like what happens after we reach the top? Stuff like that.

Anyways.

We walking inside this big cafe and found a table to sit at. A waiter came over to our table and gave us both some menus and left.

"I have a question if you don't mind answering." Mia said.

"Go ahead."

"What's your real reason of helping me? I still can't think of a reason you'd actually help even go so far as making a whole dimension." She asked whispering to me.

"You don't have to whisper. I don't care if people know I can make dimensions." I whispered back.

"Well my real reason for helping you is…pure boredom." I said looking at her seriously.

"Huh?"

"Boredom. Being strong is boring of course I'm not the strongest, oldest, or most skilled, but being strong is boring. I don't have to fight or anything, but with power you sort of change. At first I didn't even care about fighting, but now it's like anyone can come challenge me." I said.

"Is that so." Came a familiar aged voice from behind me. I shot my head in his direction and there he was. The old man from before.

[Image reminder]

He was looking at me with a smile on his face.

"Is what so?" I asked as I stood up. It was like I was talking to someone that was phasing in and out of existence.

"You would welcome any challenge. In that case I want to duel." He said. It was like ever since he got here everyone and everything went silent.

I of course wasn't about to let this effect me. I was already wary of him just because he got past all my senses. Even though my guard wasn't up my ears should have at least heard his footsteps and I should have heard his heartbeat and breathing.

"I accept, do you have any conditions?" I asked.

"We use weapons only and our pure physical capabilities. No energy involved, but pure physical capabilities. The match will be decided, by death, TKO, or forfeiting." He said.

'This confidence proves he knows he as strong as me or stronger than me.'

"I accept. Is there a time you want?" I asked. "Whenever you're done with your date." He said and his body disappeared from my vision.

I started hearing everyone murmur and stuff again.

"Who was that?" I asked Mia.

"His name is Takemikazuchi. He's considered the god of thunder and the sword." She explained.

"So he has a title? Is his rank known?" I asked.

"That title means something you know? And he's never made his rank disclosed, but he's for sure in the 20+ ranking. I don't know why he didn't become an official god yet." She said.

"So he basically set this up in his favor." I sighed.

Well who would want to fight me if I could just make a dimension and lock them in it? I guess this is good. I think my sword skills could use a polish.

"Akihito!!."

I came from my thoughts and looked at her.

"Yeah?"

"Listen in this fight you have to be calm. Even if you loose it doesn't matter." She said.

"Wooooow I'm amazed you just immediately thought I would loose." I said.

She rolled her eyes as the waitress came to get our order.

"Just some pork chops and whatever this Hyperos wine is." I said. She wrote it down and didn't even ask Mia. It was like she already knew what she would order.

"I've been meaning to ask you something. If you're not a god yet, how did you reincarnate me?" I asked.

"Oh, it was a common request. We temporarily gain the ability to bestow powers onto the ones worthy of reincarnation. When you were being reincarnated, I lied about hoping yo meet again." She said.

I took a deep breath and simply nodded.

Then we got to eating when our food came.

—Thirty Minutes Later—

I separated from Mia and told her to train in the pure dimension I made while I went to the register office. The moment I got over there I saw the old man waiting for me.

"Ah, finally." He said as he smiled at me.

I nodded I'm his direction and signed the registration papers. The match would begin in three hours because they need to prepare the arena.

"I heard your talk with your girlfriend. You plan to get to the top, because you're bored?" He asked.

"She's not my girlfriend. I mainly want to do it out of boredom and the other reason isn't your business." I said. I was definitely skeptical of this guy. He had that mobster grandpa energy, but he comes off as a schemer.

"I see." He said and walked past me. After I signed those papers, I opened the portal to my own domain. I sat in my domain just looking at it thinking about what the outcome of this match would be like.

While I am incredibly fast, strong, and have amazing senses, the confidence that guy had was something that sort of intimidated me. I'm not arrogant or foolish, so I know I need to play this smart.

I could look into different futures and see how they turn out, but that would be a little bitch move honestly. He's a sword hood and probably older than me so he'll have the title and more experienced.

I don't know if he teleported or not, but if he didn't he's faster than my eyes could keep up with. My sword style relies on speed and reaction time though.

You know what. I'm not the type to overthink. Let's just do what my body says and see what happens. For the next two and a half hours I meditated, not to gather energy, but to simply relax myself.

…..

Leaving my domain I teleported to the arena desk told the lady I was ready and waiting by the door. Immediately they announced us.

"ON THE RIGHT SIDE WE HAVE A VETERAN GOD THATS WORSHIPPED BY MANY, HAS SLAYED TRILLIONS, AND THATS TAUGHT PROMISING NEW GODS THE WAY OF THE SWORD. THE THUNDER AND SWORD GOD OF UNKNOWN RANK. TAKEMIKAZUCHIIIII!!!!"

The announcer yelled. The arena was filled with cheers and whistles.

"ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE A NEW COMER INTERMEDIATE GOD. WITH UNPARALLELED SENSES AND A CRAZY REACTION TIME. HIS STRENGTH IS ENOUGH TO MAKE A BLADE OF WIND WITH NO EFFORT. EASILY ONE OF THE BEST NEW COMERS. AKHITO KISARAGIIII!!"

There were a few cheers, but a lot of boos. For some reason people still can't tolerate my existence I guess. Meh, I walked through the doors and walked into the arena. As I said he's fast, but to get to his full speed that means he'll need to build up speed.

I need to keep my distance close with him and believe in my reaction speed.

"MATCH BEGIN!!!"

Both me and Him took out our swords. Slowly and cautiously We circled the arena, but if it went in like this there wouldn't be an outcome, so I switched my stance to a quick draw and flash stepped forward.

Appearing in his face I slashed my sword at him only to be met by his sword blocking it. Sliding my sword upward against his I opened his guard and rushed into him. Knocking his balance off. Moving back he was about to fall so I swung my sword horizontally at his legs.

'No legs, no match' those were my thoughts, but he caught himself on one hand and his sword blocked it.

He was now doing a handstand on his sword. He jumped down from that and disappeared the second his feet touched the ground. I felt the hair on my neck go up so I ducked just in time to block a sword.

"Nice instincts." He commented. I spun around while I was still in a low position going for a leg sweep, but he jumped up. Seeing him in the air he had no way to dodge, so I swung my sword at his left arm.

While he couldn't dodge he blocked it, but was sent flying into the arena walls.

*BOOOOOM*

The walls barely held up and I wasn't either. Flash stepping over to the dust cloud I focused more on my hearing to know where he was. I cut right at the crater in the wall, but I heard was the sound of my sword cutting the rock.

This time he was coming from the air, but I noticed that too late. I blocked with my sword up last second, but the force of his sword smashed me through the ground.

He kept slashing his sword at me with speeds so fast I couldn't see his hands. I was on my back getting smashed further into a crater. I wasn't getting hurt or anything, his speed is crazy.

Suddenly he stopped and jumped back. My face was still plain as I got up with a sigh.

"You would have been the winner a long time ago if it wasn't for my durability and instincts." I said dusting my body off.

"Oh you thought I was going all out?" He said with a smirk. He put both hands on his sword and before I could react I felt a cold blade pushing at my neck. For the first time in a while I felt something cut into my skin and actually hurt me.

But that was it. It only scratched me a little. I was tossed back into the arena wall with a thud and fell to the ground. My wound had already healed.

"Even that didn't work. Well you are quite durable." He said.

"Now get up." He demanded as he looked over me.

"For what? This whole match will be you using your speed, while I'm stronger and more durable. There ain't no point in this match." I said plainly.

"So you have no desire to win?" He said looking down at me.

"How, you're to fast, but can't do enough damage to even do more than a scratch." I said.

"So if I was stronger than you you'd let me take your life?" He asked.

"It would be inevitable. You're stronger so that's how it is."

"You want to be on top, but don't even want to fight back. You lack determination to even get up right now. You need to fight even when it looks impossible. You can make dimensions all you want, but you'll still be weak and useless." He said glaring at me.

"You're the type of person that would live his whole life just going along with decisions huh. If I was predestined to kill you, you probably wouldn't even put up a fight. You weak, useless, and want to be on the top with no will to even fight for your life." He said.

At this point I was getting tired of his shit. I was keeping a calm face, but I'm also trying to hold in my energy from flooding this place.

He raised his leg to stomp on my face, but I got him. With his leg up he could only stand on one leg so I grabbed his left leg pulled it making him fall. I saw him about to support himself with his sword, so I threw mine to hit his sword off balance.

He fell onto the ground and loss the grip on his sword. I got up still holding onto his leg and spun him around as fast as I could. The air start spinning into a tornado and I launched him into a wall and he flew out of the arena.

His body was rolling along the streets and people stopped to see this.

"Go fuck your determination." I said.

"Ohhh, that was a nice one. I actually broke a few bones." I heard the voice of the old man. His arm was completely broken and bleeding along with blood from his nose, mouth, and cuts on his face.

"I forfeit the match. I can tell this young man won't go all out." He said walking into the arena.

"MATCH WINNER. AKHITO KISARAGIIII!!!"

The announcer screamed. I didn't care about the cheering even if there wasn't any, so I got ready to leave.

"Later on when you have the chance, you're welcome in my domain. This card expires in a week. I expect to see you there." He said and his body flickered before he was gone.

After that I left the arena and went to the Pure Dimension or so I call it and told Mia that I was heading home for the time being.

My clothes were gathered and she asked if something happened. I told her no and she laid off it and said I could come back to her domain anytime.

With that I left back to the normal world, but his words were still getting to me.

"Damn!!" I cursed.

*********************************************

This is what happened before he came and left with Milim and Rimuru. I feel like I rushed it a bit or some parts don't make sense, but it will later on.
