The Return of the World's Destructive Hero
Chapter 2: A Teacher
After walking quite a distance towards the east, Satoru finally met the path. He followed the path until he reached a small house in the middle of the forest.
Uh, did I go the wrong way...
Satoru knocked on the door of the house hesitantly while swallowing his saliva. The door opened slowly, and an old man opened the door.
"Who are you, young man?"
"Eh? can we talk to each other?"
"Huh? what are you saying?"
"Ah, don't forget that. I'm sorry to bother you, but I'm actually lost. Is there a village or town nearby?"
The old grandfather looked at Satoru from toe to toe, just then he saw a familiar sword at the young man's waist.
"The sword! where did you get it?!"
"Eh? this, the legacy my grandfather gave me..."
"Who's your grandfather's name?"
"Shin Ryuha"
"I see, so you're well, come in"
Satoru, who did not understand what was happening, entered the house and sat in the guest chair. Grandpa gave me a drink and food.
"You must be thirsty and hungry, right?"
"Eh, no need to bother the cake, I just want to ask for directions"
"What's the matter, you're from another world, aren't you?"
Hearing that Satoru was instantly stunned in silence.
Why does this grandpa know that I'm from another world?
"No need to worry like that, I'm on your side. After all me and your grandfather are old friends"
"Eh!? is my grandfather a friend of mine? but it's different in the world..."
"Ahahaha, you Ryuha don't seem to be telling you. Ryuha is a hero who comes from another world, because he defeated the demon lord 100 years ago, he asks to be returned to his world. But the goddess asks him to educate a new hero to save this world back from the clutches of the resurrected demon king. And the hero you mean is you son"
After listening to that, Satoru could only laugh by being forced to accept reality. The grandfather gave Satoru an empty room to live in, and he also said he would teach Satoru about the world.
In the morning, a quiet voice sounded.
"Uwaahhh!!! it's cold!!!"
The grandfather doused Satoru with cold water to wake him up from the bed.
"Hurry and get ready we'll start practicing!"
Satoru immediately prepared and changed his clothes, in the front yard of the house there was already the grandfather waiting while holding a wooden sword. In the morning, Satoru will be doing match practice with the grandfather.
"Etto, so we're going to do a match practice?"
"Well, I'll see how your skills are in swordsmanship and don't call me grandfather, just call me teacher or master"
Uwahh. Even if I don't know if what he said yesterday was true or not, at least I know that this grandfather wasn't a bad guy.
"Alright, master please help!"
On a quiet morning there was the sound of the pounding of wooden swords, although in old age, the skill of the grandfather was very great. Satoru who is known as the best kendo player can not move easily and always defend against the grandfather.
"Hah.. hah...how can the master move even if it smells of soil?"
"Hmm? what did you just say, boy?!"
The grandfather immediately moved very quickly and hit hard Satoru until it bounced. Fortunately at that time Satoru managed to withstand the blow with a wooden sword that he swords so as to minimize the pain he received.
"How boy? do you understand our power difference?"
Starting from there training like hell was followed by Satoru, he continued to train day by day and always lost when doing battle training.
"Well today's training is enough, rest. Tomorrow we will fight monsters for your final test"
"Well.. Huh... mon- ster..?"
"Well, so take a break"
In the afternoon after finishing training, Satoru went to a river close to home to wash his body full of sweat.
Huft. Even so he is very good, he is only hard when in training.
Another world huh?
I still can't believe I'm here right now.
Satoru stared at the night sky filled with stars with two moons. He still did not know the reason for the bladeless sword given by his grandfather. Once he asked his master, but the master said "For now I can't tell you, be stronger first"
After finishing cleaning his body, Satoru went home to cook dinner. The house he lived in had a vegetable garden in the backyard, while the meat was obtained from game animals.
"Hey master, tomorrow I will face what monsters?"
"You'll see, so get some rest tonight"
Hearing an uncertain answer made Satoru quite worried, considering that his master was a hard man in training. He has been training for 6 months and he has also felt that he has become stronger than before.
In the morning they were already preparing to enter the forest to do the first test of Satoru. Where he's gonna fight a monster. In the course of his master explained about the sword that was on Satoru's waist.
"Regarding your sword, it is a Swordbirth. A sword born of the user's mind and heart"
Hearing such a short explanation, Satoru did not understand at all.
"What did the master say? I don't understand"
"The sword on your waist has no blade, right?"
"Yes..."
The master explained about the ability possessed by the sword. Sword Birth had the ability to create many Magic Swords with different attributes according to the wishes of the user. Not only that, the user can also make a holy sword or devil sword as he wishes. Even the cursed sword. The user can also raise a sword wherever he wants according to the range of radius he sees. Not just a single sword, the user can also take out many swords at once.
An empty blade on the sword will not appear, but will give birth to another sword from various places. It can be said that the handle and sheath are only displays. While swordbirth skill is a skill that can be obtained by having the handle and sheath of the sword.
After hearing that long explanation, Satoru began to understand with the sword given by the grandfather. It can be concluded that the sword is an artifact that gives skill to the user.
"Do you understand?"
"Yes master!"
"Well, here's the sword"
Satoru gave the sword to his master. A magic chant is chanted by the master so that makes the sword glow. The sword slowly moved and entered Satoru's body. Due to the sudden surge of power coming in, Satoru lost consciousness.
"Eh? what's going on?"
"Oh, you're up at last"
The master explained about the previous incident regarding the Swordbirth fused into his body, thus Satoru was able to use the swordbirth skill.
"Alright, wakeup. You're gonna face a little snake in that cave"
Satoru looked in the direction pointed by his master. There was a cave at the entrance that had the head of a super-large snake.
"No-no-no! What a little snake! The snake is as big as a bus!"
"Let's go ahead, you can beat him"
