Time that has passed midnight...
"..."
Hyugo who woke up from his sleep, then did not see me in his room. There is only Akemi who is still asleep.
Curious about my disappearance here, he got up from his bed and planned to go out.
"You want to get out?."
How surprised he was when he suddenly heard a voice that turned out to be Akemi.
"Sorry! did I wake you up??."
"No. I do wake up easily if there is movement.."
"That's it.. oh yeah, did you see Kaito? where is he at midnight like this?."
"If there wasn't, maybe he was practicing."
"Night nights like this??."
"It is much easier to move his body, he said that way."
"..."
"If you want to see him, just look outside, I want to go to bed."
"Okay, sorry to interrupt."
"..."
Akemi closes her eyes to sleep, and she comes out of the room and wants to find Kaito.
When he came out, it turned out that in the middle room there was Ayumi who was still sitting and was reading a book with a small lamp lighting.
"Ojumi? you're not sleeping?."
"Oh Hyugo, no. I still want to do something else."
"What's that?." His attention was drawn to an old book that Ayumi was reading.
"This? my element book... All about learning the Ventus element, would you like to read?."
When looking at a lot of small writing in it alone makes him think twice to read it.
"Sorry, midnight is like this.."
Ayumi laughed a little..
"Totally so."
"You seen Kaito?."
"Ah, he's training outside."
"That's it, then I'd like to see him practice."
"Ms."
Hyugo also went out of the house to see me practicing.The atmosphere of the city center that was already midnight was so quiet and only the sound of crickets or the sound of footsteps above the sand.
Hyugo searches for Kaito's whereabouts and searches every little street, but he doesn't find him at all.
*swutt!!
After walking for a while, he heard a sword swing that created a sound of friction against the wind above...
As he searched for the source of his voice, Kaito was on top of the tallest building right on the outskirts of downtown.
"Kaito!."
Hyugo shouted but a little quietly so as not to disturb others.
I responded to the voice and immediately looked down where he was.
"Oh Hyugo!." I waved my hand as if telling her to go up.
.
.
.
"You're used to practicing midnight like this?."
"Um, ever since I started practicing my sword.."
"Why does it have to be like this?."
"I find it easier to move my body, because the night weather is very cold, so if I move I can warm my body directly."
"Although I already knew from Akemi, but I just knew the reason.."
"Achemy?."
"Ah no, I just muttered."
"Oh, okay."
"..."
He kept watching me train with my sword, and with each swing, his strength felt so great that Hyugo felt.
"Hey Kaito.. Did you ever feel hopeless when you found out that you didn't have the power of the earth element?."
"I've felt it before."
"really?."
"Yes... back then.I became a child wasted by this fate.but at the same time.I found my own way.that is with this sword."
"If it's not wrong.. The sword is the legacy of the Aqua element, did you get it from childhood?."
"I was given this sword by my teacher. he was a user of the Aqua element."
"A.qua...don't-don't."
I immediately realized that I had told him something that was really not to be said, because all the people around me were different from ordinary people, so I was used to saying it easily.
"T-No! i meani! not that!."
"Wait on! are you really Aqua's descendant??."
"N-no! I'm just a kid who happens to be a-."
"If you're the only remaining descendant of Aqua, I really feel indebted to you!."
"Eh?."
It felt a little strange, not because I was careless, but the response was very different from the usual people.
"Wait a minute, I still don't understand."
"I mean the previous king who had good relations with the last pillar of Aqua... we've never forgotten his service.."
"It turns out that it happened."
"That means you're really Aqua's descendant??."
"E-Eh yes... like that, but I don't have elemental powers from birth."
"Is it possible that you survived that slaughter??."
"Like that."
"Then what about your family..."
"I really don't know who my parents are. I don't care either. but my teacher, my best friend..."
"..."
"I was still so weak that I could do nothing but watch them all die in front of my eyes... until finally I regret."
"..."
"..."
"I'm so jealous of you.."
"Hm?."
"Although without the power of the elements, you are now very strong.You traveled all over the Pax plains... I can't even help my father..."
"What are you saying, you haven't even shown me your powers."
"I-I can't.."
I pulled my sword and pointed it at him.
"..."
"Show me your strength.."
"I really don't..."
After seeing my face that was so sure to face him, he felt so moved...
"You sure?."
"Where do you see my sword going? whether you want it or not, I'm going to attack you.."
"..."
There was no other choice for her than to receive a match from me, on top of the building that could see the entire city that had a dim light and moonlight illuminating this entire place.
"All right, I'll take it.."
He took off the cloth covering his weapon, a short sword that was curved in shape and so sharp as a scorpion's tail.
As he pulled it, simultaneously one of his hands took out an earthen sand that slowly fused together to form a similar sword..
(Damascus!! )
*Bwuushh!
Two Damascus swords that he used as his weapon, one of which was a weapon that he formed using the power of his element.
"Oh! what a good weapon!."
"What you got is also more terrible."
"Anyway.."
"..."
"..."
*clingg!!
With both attacks so fast, the two of them smashed their swords at each other and none of them were knocked back.
The squealing sound of their swords was so loud that it let out a powerful spark.
"Can too! both of your swords can stop my Yansei!."
"I can hold it if it's just like this..."
"Oh. Your arrogant nature finally comes out too."
"You're the one who fished it!."
*cling!!
We both jumped back due to the impact of each attack, and we again took a fighting position.
"..."
"..."
*Swushh!!
Both of them ran with an attack from his sword...
"Yeah!!."
*Duaarr!!!
Suddenly an explosion came from a distance, until it shook us both and the attack was stopped.
"What was that?!!."
"The explosion..."
"It's not. there.."
"Yura!!!."
