THE FIRST

Its been a two full months ever since I started being taught under Cosmo, my states are all above 16 which means I am now 'G' rank. I would learn swordsmanship from Cosmo and learned Magic from Sofi and Siyah.

Sofi and Daniel did go back about a month ago which left me under the guidance of Siyah, I learned a lot from the two of them and even the process of using magic spells without the need for a system like the real world.

I wanted Siyah to teach me Necramancy but she refused saying its not something a future King should learn, but she did teach about inchanting runes, I can now make low level magic runes. 

I had learned a lot of Dark Magic from her, which seemed great to me and also a way to drain energy from someone and make it my own.

Cosmo had tought me his Art which is called 12 Dark Swords Art which resolves around the Darkness element. He started off by teaching me the basics of swordsmanship as they were the starting point of any swordsmanship.

Cosmo also taught me foot work, called the 12 Dark strides which goes well with the art and A breathing techinique called Dark Sun breathing, which helped me increase my Aether.

Aether seems to be a result of eating the core of nothingness. I have tried flying, but it was not easy I can't remember how many times I broke a few bones as I couldn't move the wings, but now I can fly without much a problem.

----[POV NAR]----

Now Ater and Cosmo were standing at edge of forest which was close to a river.Ater and Cosmo were wearing short black tunics with matching pants.

Ater had a thin long sword with him which was about 90cm long, while Cosmo had none, After a few minutes of waiting there could see movements in the water.

Cosmo left Ater alone as this was his test for Ater. Ater just kept his sword in its shealth on his waist as he just stared at the Water with an indifferent look but he was actually keeping a poker face.

After a few minutes of waiting a creature come out of the had the body and structure of a fox, and spikes all over its skin and its tail had a hand, it was an ahuizotl.

The ahuizoti gave a glance to Ater and the two of them stared at each for a few seconds before rushing at each other. 

Ater drew his sword as he prepare to clash with the ahuizoti's claws, but to his suprise what was coming after him was its tail even though it was running towards him, Ater jumped backwards as the tail had almost reached him.

Ater couldn't catch a break as a spike from the back of the creature came aiming for his face, Ater dodged it by durking over to left, which left a drop of blood on his right cheek.

After that a barrage of spikes came after Ater, which he dodged by either stepping sideways, jumping back or rolling on the ground. One spike almost took away Ater's manhood which he had to jump back living his thigh to get hit.

"Tsk"

Ater could just click his tounge as he saw that only six spikes were left on the Ahuizote's back, Ater then took the chance to shot an Ice arrow, which only took him a second to cast, but to his suprize the Ahuizote showed good reflexes.

It leaped into the air leaving the arrow to hit the ground, the creature curled itself and rolled itself like a boomrang towards Ater. Ater could only bend his back down as his feet stood firmly on the ground as he let the creature pass just above his head cutting a few of is hair, before he could properly stand three more spikes came after him, he quickly rolled sideways on the ground to avoid being shot.

Ater jumped up as the ahuizote shot its three remaining spikes, as he skillfully dodged them as he headed in the direction of the ahuizote, but before he could reach it, its tail was already blocking his way.

Ater countinued to clash with tail until he cut off the hand part of the tail.

"Kakakakaka"

Ater couldn't tell if it was laughing or was crying but he took the chance to get close to it but was stopped by a Water spike coming from the ahuizote's mouth.

Ater side stepped it and shot a fire ball towards the creature, the creature side stepped and rushed towards Ater, it leaped in the air as it tried to reap off Ater's head with its front claw.

Ater blocked it with his sword as the the two of them enter a state of exchanging blows. Ater could fell marks on his body and he could tell that his sword it not connecting. 

Ater jumped back as the words that Cosmo had told him during his training come to mind,

"Its a Sword Art that is said to have been created since the World was created, It carries history of centuries, the quetion is can you acknowledge that history and make your own history."

Ater could see Cosmo's smile, and he could see countless dark figures practicing the same move infront of his eyes, Ater just smiled and brought his sword to the left side of his waist and moved his right leg forward,

"12th Dark Sword Beyond the Heavens"

A Dark semi-circle appered when Ater swung his sword from the left to the right, when the ahuizote saw the semi-cicle tried to run back into the water but, it was to slow as the semi-circle was like a flash of darkness.

Ater stood still as he put his sword back into its shealth, to be honest it was that he felt tired and wanted to rest. Ater looked at the direction were the semi-cicle went and all he could see was the creatures head without a body.

Ater moved his gaze alway from the head and spotted Cosmo who was running towards him as his sight blared out.

----[ATER POV]----

I could few my head sleeping on a smooth thing, I knew it wasn't a blanket or a pillow, not to mention the cherry smell it gave, I wanted to keep my head laying there, but a thought come to me,

'Didn't I pass out after that fight'

I openned my eyes and I could see that I was inside my sleeping chambers on top of my bed in a matter of fact. I raised my head and the first thing I saw was a pear of long and beautiful legs and I seemed to have slept on the thigh.

I moved my head upwards as a saw a heavenly body wearing a maid uniform, as I reached her neck I saw straight shiney brown hair. I kept on moving my eyes as I saw her perfectly shaped lips and nose and cyan eyes, which drained the Soul out of me.

"Elena"

The truth I is I was shocked seeing her in my room, Elena is the maid I hugged two months ago, when she broke a clay cup.

Being honest is that I felt sorry for her, I could fell her pain being in this world next to nobels you can't even make mistakes, I remember some of my talks with the Nobels and Minister were they would end up pointing every tiny mistate the other side did.

Anyway back to story after that incident, I did exchange a few words with Elena and we seem to get along well, we even had dinner and lunch together some times and I figured she likes dark blue staff and we kinda clicked as it was my favorite. 

Well now Elena looks like she is out of words and had a little red on her cheeks, I giggled a little a little at the sight.

I straighted up and sat closer to her, come on guys I am not that danse, I looked at her but she seemed to shy to look at me.

"Do you like me?"

I asked with a smile on my face, as I observed her, she lightly nodded like a child admiting her mistakes which made her even cuter.

I pushed her on the bed and moved my face next of her face, I smiled before saying,

"Well I kinda like you too Elena "

She smiled back at me as she hugged my neck, I moved my head close to her as I felt her warm breath, and the cherry smell all over my face and I pressed my lips together with hers.

I could fell my fore fathers in the pictures in the hall way cheering and clapping for me, I had finally did it, graduating from a boy to a man.

Sucks to be you single dogs, Muhahahaha
