Flat -Brim Samurai Chapter 83 - The banquet

Cias, Apollo, Noah and Devan all gathered around a dining table. Hiroto had invited them over along with their families for a victory meal. They all sat at a long table. The four boys sat next to each other with their family strewn around. They were all still in the recovery process and what better to recover than Hiroto Musashi's legendary food. It was a three course meal designed to be as big, nutritious and as delicious as possible.

Hiroto clapped, shutting everyone's conversation ,"Thank you to everyone for coming, I want to congratulate these boys on their amazing fighting performance. Without further adieu, let's eat." Not even a second had passed and the boys devoured their food faster than anyone thought was possible. Their parents looked at their kids, horrified at the disgustingly quick and ugly way they ate. Cias's father turned to Kenji ,"Were our kids always pigs?" ,"I think so…"

Cias turned to Apollo ,"MMHMMHMHHHMMMH," Apollo swallowed his food and said ,"English motherfucker." Cias swallow and spoke ,"How was your fight?" ,"It was good, I unlocked something," ,"What's that?" Apollo then reached out his hand and summoned his Akarui soul katana. Hiroto's darted his eyes across the table and said ,"How did you get that?" ,"Oh, I got something similar to that too," Cias said. A thick liquid formed into a spear in his hand. Hiroto closed his eyes and exhaustedly rubbed them ,"I can't believe kids at your age already have gained assimilation." ,"What's that?" Apollo asked ,"It's when you fully connect a physical weapon to your soul, there are a few ways to do it and it seems you guys have found 2 of those ways. Only a few people have EVER gained them. I don't even know what I'm witnessing right now. For reference, here's mine." Hiroto raised his hand above his head and the space shook as lightning splashed out, a staff appeared in his hand. People were in awe ,"I know I know, amazing isn't it. Whatever," dismissing the people at the party he abruptly put the beautifully powerful staff away.

Everyone at the table's jaws were opened wide except for Noah. He just kept eating because he didn't care one way or another. ,"Being this in tune with your soul at your age will boon power that others will desire, make sure to protect it." ,"Ok grandpa," ,"Ok Mr. Musashi," they both answered, not totally understanding the weight of what they just did. The refined power they exuded from their bodies emanated a sense of dominance. As if they tamed the energy itself and forged it into a finely honed steel.

They all discussed their fights over dinner and smiled wide. Apollo told his story of fighting Narphun, Cias told his story about Tinser, Devan told his story about Mertoph and Noah told his story about Rexor. The cataclysmic destruction around the world was hard to fix but was getting slowly back to normal. All 4 of them helped with the clean up effort and were appreciated by the workers for their exceptional strength and morals. Kenji talked to the whole table while looking at the boys, laughing ,"I didn't know teenagers could cause near world ending destruction." Hiroto nodded ,"Each of those individuals had the power to blow this planet away, but they still ended up winning. That alone, if anything, is terrifying, especially so for kids as young as you guys."

They didn't know what to say as they sat in silence. ,"Let's finish this meal," Hiroto exclaimed, booting them out of their nervousness. They ate sushi, steak, noodles, rice and to finish off, a nice bowl of ice cream. Content with the food, people left one by one. Hiroto stopped Apollo ,"I want to talk to you." Apollo stood silent when everyone left. ,"You're a strong kid, you know that?" ,"Yes?" Apollo answered confused. Hiroto hugged Apollo ,"I'm sorry I couldn't help you, but I can't tell you the reason either." Apollo didn't know what to stay, but he hugged back. ,"Thank you grandpa, for all the things that you've done for me." Hiroto looked at his grandson ,"If you need any help training, I'll be here," he said laughing ,"Ok," Apollo said, smiling like an idiot while giggling. Hiroto teleported him home ,"Bye grandpa." Hiroto softly smiled ,"Bye Apollo."
