CHAPTER 9: The Port Town Of Coastializa

Zero's Point Of View

In the middle of riding my very own motorcycle. Being said that I am the one operating it the don't know what to do. As the motorcycle releases vibration that resulted into a quake-like feeling. "Ahh! I can't take it anymore, being swayed into this position feels like being n an earthquake". Kitsune honestly described the feeling that she was currently experiencing in. "To be honest riding this transportation device is really fast that I felt sick looking at the surroundings looks like being warped but it's not". Merleona stated as she can't take the speed of us using this motorcycle. "That's because we were moving faster than that of a horse running while carrying a carriage". I said that made them so surprised losing balance nut Kitsune grabbed me in the waist. "Please don't make us surprised here". She sayspressing her future at my back as I felt their softness from the thin cloth of shirt I was wearing. "By the way, are you sure running straight this path will lead us at a village". I asked her as a confirmation if the information was credible. " Yes I was sure, since this is the path I take to freedom". She says and then after awhile I see a big watchtower. "Oh there it is can we go straight there?". Merleona says that calmed her self from motion sickness. "No we will stop from a distance before entering the Port". I said and ready to make a break. "Why?". She asked but Kitsune answered her in my stand. "It's for safety, what would you think if someone just barge into your town with a unfamiliar device? we don't want any trouble remember!". She explained to her that made Merleona understand the current position we were in.

Upon entering the townI was surprised on how terrible the position they were in. They were several skinny children on the street, sickened elders and a very limited food resources. Even though it is a Port there are very limited to an extent that even those fishermen weren't able to have reserves for their own family. So I asked one of the elder that I approached. "What happened in this town? Gramps". I asked her with a corcerned tone in my voice. "Oh are you new here? then that seems to be it". He says like answering himself. "Yes, I was thinking of going to get an I identification here but it seems that a famine spread here". I honestly says but he chuckles in a tone full of sadness. "Nah, you're wrong kid this is not caused by a famine". He says in a very sarcastic way like it was a regrettable time. "Then what is it? Can you tell us?". Merleona insisted that made the old man heave a sigh. "If you insist then I'll tell, This was caused by that Viscount Falcon a noble ruling this area. 5 days ago his lackeyscame here demanding the tax that collected every month but we just gave them the tax 10 days ago". He told us as he paused for a moment. "So we tought that it was a unreasonable to be giving them the tax that we gave in advance but they beat our men and take our resources and now we were starving to death". He continued explaining when I felt a dark aura coming from Kitsune whispering. "Falcon thst bastard". She says but I held her hand to calm her down. "GET OUT OF THE WAY! YOU MANALESS PIPSQUEAK!!". Someone shouted as rumbling sounds of buckets rolling echoes. "Speaking of the devil". The Old man says. "Who?". I exclaimed. "Those 5 shiny heads lackeys of that Viscount bullying that manaless kid carrying an unusual sword again". He said as he immediately run over there. "Manaless?". I said. "Yes this world hss those rare cases of Person being no Mana at all". Merleona says that concerned me a lot so I hurried going there. As I caught a sword flew to us. A single edged slightly curved arm lenght sword. "Isn't this a Katana". I taught then suddenly a Notification appeared and says.

ABILIITY NONE ENCHANTER AVAILABLE

YOU CAN NOW ACTIVATE AN ABILITY BY IMAGINING.

It announced as I see the guy with a rugged clothes trembling in fear. So upon unlocking new ability. I think of some new skills, SWORD MASTER, MARTIAL ART MASTER, KI USER. "Can you leave him alone". I coldly said that stopped them. "Huh?! Who do you think you're odering jerk!!" One othe baldy troops grunted but I didn't respond and look at the boy. "Can I borrow this for a moment?". I said and he replied. "Y-Yes!!!". He replied but it seems so feminine. "Is that kid gonna he okay?". "I don't know either let's just wish he won't be beaten up so bad". The murmuring audience scattered everywhere. "Huh you got some guts their kid but we won't tolerate you just because of you being young". The biggest one of them says but I just ignored. "Just let this start this bullshit and end it here". I coldly said giving chills to everyone as they saw a kid grip s handle of a sword. "Let's just crush this little insect talking so big you bastards". The leader says as they coated their fist into rocks, 5 Earth mages eh. Then they started to attack me simultaneously but using Ki energy I can predict their motion movements and directions so evading them seems so easy until so sudden they stopped heaving so heavily. That's my turn, I concentrate so deeply spreading my senses throughout the area and made an stance that the audience were unfamilliar as I bend my right feet in front and the left slide backwards as I breathe deeply. Then in an instant I drawn back the sword when I already pass through them. " Bone Breaker Dull Edge". I said naming it then screams from the 5 goons echoed as they kneel in pain because of broken arms and legs. As I was praised by the villagers. "What did you just do?". Merleona says to me. "Yeah did your life force just disappeared for a moment there?". Kitsune says but I didn't take the time to answer them and approach the boy and tried to give him his sword but he suddenly bowwed in front of me and says. "C-Can you teach me to use a sword like how you did back there". He says as he cried. So I told him to raise his head. "Then answer me this, what pushed you to want to be taught to usr a sword". I asked him. "I want to prove myself, I wanna prove to all that even a magicless like me can become someone so great as a Sword Master".
