2nd Thread: The Fairy, the Tailor, and the Hero

Hero. A title most young adventurers sought for. Heroes were either a commoner that suffered hardships and trained himself to the peak of strength and defeated an arch villain that would destroy the universe, or someone summoned from another world. They were chivalrous, kind-hearted, wise, strong, heaven blessed, and most of all... the main protagonist of stories. They were loved by righteousness and feared by evil. Plus, they reek of the hero aura which people love to see.

Nogi, a young famous adventurer reeks of this hero aura. He was but a little boy living in a village near the outskirts of Peach country when bandits from the Howling Forest invaded the tiny hamlet. The villagers, as well as his family, died in the calamity. But then he found a tiny pea under the bed of his mother which granted him the power to be stronger. Thus he trained and made an oath that one day he would destroy the Howling Forest Bandits.

Although a little out of reality sometimes, he still possesses all the qualities and traits to be called a hero. What he is now lacking is to defeat an arch villain and the title would be his.

He heard of the news that there was a vicious giant near Chestnut village and decided to subdue it.

"If I could get rid of this giant, my fame will increase will get more work in the future." Nogi thought to himself.

As he was happily walking along an alley, a door from a certain shop opened. A short young man came out of the door.

The young man was smiling with his pearly white teeth sparkling and nose held up high.

"Oh hello fellow commoner!" the young man said.

"Ah.. hello.," Nogi replied with an uncertain look. He was not sure if he'd be happy or mad with the greeting. Being called commoner by a commoner? No! He was on the path becoming a Hero!

Then he noticed the sparkling belt on the young man's waist. - SEVEN IN ONE BLOW- What?! This man killed 7 people in one blow?! This scrawny brat is that strong? Or maybe... He murdered them in the night! With 1 slash and all of them died!

Weird imaginations now filled Nogi's mind.

"Halt there Villain!" Nogi shouted

But the young man doesn't seem to hear him. "Are you ignoring this knight of justice?!" Nogi was infuriated. 'Impudence! Does this short brat not know who I am?'

"Villain! Hey you! Stop right there!" Nogi continued to shout.

"Huh?" Bothered by the noise, the young man turned back to look.

"Finally Villain! Surrender and pay for your crimes!"

"Uhh..." the young man looked confused. "I'm sorry... You probably mistake me for someone else. My name is Mana... not villain." he replied smiling.

"Huh! I don't care what your name is! What I want to bring is justice for the seven you killed!"

"Oh! That... well they bothered me so I swatted them." Mana replied proudly.

"What? Just for bothering you, you murdered them?!" Nogi exclaimed

"Uh... yeh... Bunch of annoying pests..."

"YOU! VILLAIN!!"

"I told you I'm not called villain..."

"Argh!" Nogi roared as he unsheathed and brandished his sword.

"Huh? Oh, I see! You are in awe of my new belt! Hahahaha!" Mana laughed

"AKj89&(H!F" 'This murderer must me retarded...' "Have a taste of Justice Blade!"

As Nogi lifted his sword, divine magic could be felt resonating from it. Truly, the sign of the Hero's path. Destined to become the Hero.

Pressure could be felt the surrounding people.

"Huh what's happening?" a fruit vendor asked.

"That adventurer looking kid is trying to pick a fight with mana."

"Really? That kid must have lost his brains..."

"Hahaha! Right. Who would pick a fight with that darned little tailor? He's basically the god of disaster."

As Nogi swung his sword, Mana's eyes nearly popped out of his head. Fortunately, he was able to evade by a hair's breadth. Just as he was about to reprimand Nogi for being crazy, another attack was thrown at him. This time he couldn't hold his mouth anymore.

"Hey, you crazy monkey bald face shrimp! What are you swinging your sword around for! In this day and age... There's what we learned people call civility!" Mana roared angrily.

"Civility? It's you who killed 7 just because they annoyed you! You have no right to talk about civility in front of me!" Nogi roared back.

"That... I had no other choice..." Mana said as he sheepishly scratched his head.

Just when Nogi was about to unleash his attack at the poker-faced Mana, something suddenly hit the back of his head.

He was hit at the right spot and became unconscious with bubbles coming out of his mouth. Staggering to the side, he fell inside an open manhole to the sewers.

The thing that hit Nogi went straight to Mana and hit him right on the face. But the difference was, Nogi was hit with something really hard while Mana was hit with something squishy soft.

Mana fell on the ground on his butt while the thing that hit him was in front of him.

"Ugh!"

"Hey, you! Watch where your heading!" Mana exclaimed

"Uh hey sorry about that." A beautiful girl with perfect proportions was in from of him. She was carrying a stone tablet.

"Hi! Let me introduce myself. My name is Hina Nala Koh. Just call me Hina. I'm a Hero fairy guide. I will be your guide to the Hero's path Mr. Hero!" Hina said with all smiles.

'This must be the first time this newbie hero has seen a fairy guide, he must be really amazed seeing a beautiful fairy like me! hur hur hur!'

"The heck are you saying lady? I don't want to be a Hero! And you're too overgrown to call yourself a fairy!"

"Huh?" Hina was confused. Her hero detector, the stone tablet on her arms, pointed her to this direction. And right now, only this young man was nearest to the location.

"Oh, I know... you're a scam artist, are you? Here to scam me of my money, selling fake hero and adventurer cards, fraud investments and empty promises." Mana said as he stared at Hina suspiciously.

"What are you talking about. I'm a Hero fairy guide. Can't you see my wings?" Hina exclaimed.

"What fairy guide? I've read seen fairy guides from my teachers Illustrated story books before. And those fairy guides were tiny. Like that flying dude for example... he had that blonde tiny fairy... And also that Blonde Elf dude with a stone lover... He had that tiny bug thing as a fairy guide... But you... the only fairy-like about you is your face and boobs!" Mana said as he poked Hina's forehead with his finger."

"......" Hina didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
