"Ready sensei! this is my vengeance, unique skill ouroboros!!!"
Yuki-san was still speechless in surprise, I did not waste the opportunity and ran straight towards her. I immediately slashed my sword and pointed it at his face. Due to being silent for too long he did not have time to properly fend it off and *Slashh, a small slash managed to hit his face.
"Unique skill yes, there has never been a 9-year-old child who mastered such a rare skill. But, it's not just you who have such skills...."
*Wuuushhhhh, strong gusts of wind moving in a circle, slowly petals of cherry blossoms appear and come flying along with the wind.
"Show me the original strength of your unique skill Hikaru, I will serve it. Unique sakura skills...."
...
...
The direction of the wind instantly changed, sakura petals flying around Yuki as if she herself ordered it.
"I had expected that someone as strong as Yuki-san must have a mainstay as well." I tried to keep my horse in the wind.
*Wuuuhhshhhhhh, the wind is turning increasingly strong, the sakura petals are flying around me. Makes me unable to see out.
Slowly the petals fell to the ground, and the wind stopped...
"I thought something would happen, like this?"
*wuush... Yuki-san suddenly stood beside me, whispering in her usual voice behind me.
"The petals of the sakura I can turn into very sharp if I'm serious.if I point the petals at the enemy, they will definitely die from the sakura incision."
"How, still want to go? If you still want I'll seriously use my sakura."
"OK, okay, I'm giving up."
I raised both my hands up.
"I'm satisfied, I've managed to get to you."
"Okay, but can you turn off your skills now? This little fire won't go out." Yuki while rubbing the swab of his face that was hit by my black fire slash that I did not want to extinguish.
"Oh sorry..." I turned off my skill.
After the black flame disappeared from his face, I accidentally gave a burn to his face.
"Yuki-san, your face is on fire!"
"Just calm this ain't gonna work." He calmly rubbed his face and cast some sort of healing spell.
"Fuh, thank goodness."
Yuki-san also sheathed her sword again to her waist.
"Alright Hikaru, I think it's time you told me where you learned the skill from."
I was silent for a moment, I did not expect me to forget that my skill was still a secret.
"Hey Iris, help me find an excuse."
"I'm sorry, your previous order forbade me to interfere. This is your fight."
"Damn, turns out the iris can also latch..."
I had to tell him, even though I was still hiding the whereabouts of the iris.
"To be honest, I got it from the evolution of this sword."
"Huh, evolution?!, when? That evolution happened after the guns had been used for years or decades."
"At night suddenly this sword glowed and evolved."
"Are you sure you've told me the truth? Nothing really happened." Yuki asked me with a slightly suspicious face.
"Nothing." I answered nervously.
"Can you show me your skills again?"
I activated my skill and showed it in front of him
"It's a very hot black fire, this is the first time I've seen it."
Yuki continued to look at my skill and question a few things until the sky turned dark.
"Oh it's night. All right let's go home." Yuki stood up and prepared to take care of our equipment.
"And also Hikaru, I actually still can't believe where you got this skill from. But it seems you don't know much about this skill either. You also kept this skill a secret so I assume you have your own reasons. For now I won't ask, nor will I tell Rondo-ji. But when I come back later we'll find out about your skill."
"Thank you Yuki-san."
We went home, Grandpa and Kiara were waiting for us at home.
"Welcome Hikaru, Yuki." Kiara greeted us from the living room.
"Everything went well, Hikaru had also learned a lot." Yuki replied while putting down our training equipment.
"Hey Yuki, how about you stay here in 1 month, let me ask Walter for permission. The house will be quiet if you leave."
"Rondo-ji knows we can't do that."
"Currently, the base of the royal army is too disciplined."
"And also my holidays have been very long. Only high-ranking soldiers can get this much vacation."
"Unlike you cake, I estimate for one year you've had 9 months off and only worked a little for 3 months." I mocked.
"Hmmmph, you don't know if being the head of the village is troublesome. You know, I'm always invited to parties and banquets. Sometimes it's a crash schedule so I have to pick a party or a banquet."
"...." - ".I was so confused to have to comment ugly or amazed at his arrogance to be an incompetent village head.
"Oh speaking of which Kiara has prepared dinner for us. The menu is venison, deliberately made rather large because this is the last night Yuki is here." Grandpa stood up and took us both to dinner.
We ate together at a dinner table that contained a lot of meat and fruits. After eating grandfather drinking wine and sleeping on the sofa, Kiara and I cleaned the dining table and Yuki-san packed her things.
The morning after that, arrive at the time of farewell. Yuki started to lift her bag and say goodbye to all of us.
"Rondo-ji, I'll go first."
"Don't forget to leave my regards to that damn Hiroki and Walter."
"Kiara-san, I'll go first. Keep looking after Hikaru huh."
"Yes, I hope your work there also goes on Lanjar Yuki-san." They both shook hands and smiled at each other.
"And lastly Hikaru, I go first. Don't forget to continue training I look forward to your development by letter"
"Come back next year, we'll be very welcoming to you. I also still want to be taught by you Yuki-san.no, Yuki-sensei."
"Huhhh, I told you not to call me sensei. OK, if there is no obstacle next year I will come again. Can you please Rondo-ji?"
"Of course, you can also come here if you intend to escape Walter hahaha's army." Grandpa laughed as if thinking Yuki would really do it
"Before I leave, I have a present for you Hikaru." Yuki took out a box wrapped in paper.
"What's this?"
"Just open it."
A thick old book with a leather cover, I read it and it turned out to be a sword technique book.
"That's for your practice, when I go the book can be your helper in the practice."
"Thank you Yuki-san, I also have something for you" I took it from Kiara's hand and gave her a piece of sweater knitted with white thread.
"Hehe Kiara and I made it. I heard winter in the capital is so cold so we made it for you."
"Thank you Hikaru, kiara-san." Yuki accepted it and rubbed my head.
"All right, I think it's time I left. Take care of yourself." Yuki san lifted his bag and climbed on the horse.
"Don't forget to come next year!"
"Yes, next year I'd like to see a great development from you."
"Be careful on Yuki-san's path!"
"Yes..."
Yuki-san left us with her horse. The increasingly distant footsteps of the horse slowly disappeared from our sight. We kept looking at him through the street from the front of the house to his horse and he was very far away and nowhere to be seen again.
...
"It looks like the day of my training day will feel lonely. I can't wait for next year."
We entered the house and so, the atmosphere of the house without Yuki-san was a little quiet.
....
Change places, somewhere far from the village.
There was an old building in which there were several people with black robes covering their faces.
"how's the preparation?" One of the black robed men asked his partner.
"Everything went according to our plan" replied his colleague who was standing next to him.
"Good work, 'Rondo touji', the village he leads is disrupting our plans."
"Don't worry. We're gonna eliminate him. The harvest festival will be full of blood...."
Who're they? What are they planning? The old building where they had gathered was covered in a very thick fog and no one knew of their next plan.
