Moon Sword

___

'I didn't expect you to be that crazy, Master.'

'If I were in that position, I would do the same. It is useless to always hide the power in an era that can be chaotic at any time. Besides, once you show your power you have to totality in doing so.'

'Some people have no reason to show the world what they are capable of, believe that karma exists in this world.'

'I'll remember that.'

Aeolus thought about what karma was approaching him, only to grin.

'I will always wait for karma to come to me.'

Meanwhile, Anastasia continued to babble.

"So much happened after your arrival, you dominated all ranks from Sword Class to all subjects your grades were always perfect. A year passed, I didn't care about your existence because I was busy practicing every day, at that time a Saintess from The Sun Temple received a revelation that the Apostle of Sun was ready to receive the Sun Sword. The pope of The Sun Temple went directly to Avalon Academy to carry out his religious duties. All circles of society come from students, professors, to ordinary people to the square to watch the ceremonial procession. The sword was displayed in the center of the town square, making everyone see it including me. After which, The Sun Sword buzzed loudly and flew straight towards me. At that moment, I realized that my life was about to change, but I wasn't the only one who was going to change. A solar eclipse suddenly appeared in that clear sky, the sky that was initially warm became surprisingly dark. What was at the center of it all was a sword that only existed on the pages of the long myths and Legends of the continent, the Moon Sword. Unlike The Sun Sword handed down by The Sun Goddess to humans, the Moon Sword would only be given directly by the Moon to those who received it. The process of creating the sword was truly spectacular, the golden cloud wrapped full of the moon covering the sun, the moon that was in front of the sun slightly melted and dripped a drop of water. A golden cloud covered the water droplets and took the form of a sword. That's the fantastic thing that happened at the time. The sword is now in my hand. Aeolus Avel, will you carry the Destiny you are about to live?"

Anastasia grabbed the air, the vacuum opened wide. This was neither space magic nor dimensional magic, but rather a very cold and frightening void. His hand went in and took out a thin silver sword that let out a faint brilliant light. The blade was thin yet sharp, this was the most beautiful longsword Aeolus had ever seen in his entire life.

'True Eye'

[Skill Rank too low to observe items]

'It is certain that this is a Myth rank item.'

Anastasia held the Moon Sword with both hands, she handed the longsword to Aeolus.

"I know what you will say, receive this sword, Aeolus."

"Hmm? I haven't even said a word."

"I know just by looking at the determination in your eyes, you are indeed good at lying. However, your eyes will never lie."

"You know a lot about me."

"Of course, we are destined to live this bitter fate together."

Aeolus grabbed the hilt of the sword, he felt a familiar feeling for so many years. He felt like he had been one with this sword for many years.

"Oh yes! in the timeline before her, you were a martial artist. Not a swordsman..."

"... What are you talking about?"

"You once said that the peak of a swordsman's strength is when the sword and its wielder unite and make the body a weapon as sharp as a sword. I don't know what you did to make Moon Sword unite with your body and soul."

"In that case, I can conclude that this sword is not from the present timeline, but from the future, right?"

"Exactly. On the present timeline the Moon Sword was never created, Future Aeolus deposited the Moon Sword into my soul. Because of this, we can both connect our souls to each other with the Moon Sword as an intermediary."

"Soul? So it's your soul that goes back in time?"

"Yes, and also no. Someone has made me the target of his regression, according to my knowledge the existence of the Absolute class should be aware of the change in the movement of time. But so far there has been no reaction to my regression."

"So who is he to regress on you?"

"I don't know, he came to me when the world was already destroyed. There is no other information because my memory is distorted."

Nothing looked at Anastasia with a strange look.

'He's really going to throw up answers to all the questions you ask. There was no suspicion from his eyes, it was a look full of sincerity. It's easy to get distracted just by seeing the truth.'

"Then let's finish the Tea Party this time, Miss. "

Aeolus looked at Anastasia, he lowered his posture, he welcomed Anastasia Astel's arrival. The eldest daughter of the Hero Astel family.

"I Aeolus Avel Von Ferdant welcome the arrival of Anastasia Astel, the eldest daughter of the Astel family of Heroes."

"Thank you for the welcome, eldest son of the family of Duke Ferdant, Aeolus Avel Von Ferdant."

Anastasia corrected her elegant attitude, she returned Aeolus's greeting.

"I would be delighted if I could welcome miss in my humble abode."

"With pleasure."

Anastasia grabbed Aeolus ' rough hands full of Calluses. However, to him that hand was the softest hand he had ever felt from long ago until now.

Teleportation magic enveloped the two of them and moved them to the gate of Ferdant's family castle.

"Hmm?"

"I did not expect that my 5-year-old son would bring a future daughter-in-law to the House."

"... What are you talking about, Duke?"

"Avel brought a female visitor here, I didn't expect that boy to be so brave."

"..."

Aeolus and Anastasia walked towards an extremely majestic main gate, hundreds of Aura Masters, dozens of Sword Masters and one Grandmaster guarding this main gate. Who is the Grandmaster guarding this place? Of course Zander, he was relaxing on top of the wall waiting for his shift to end, when Aeolus arrived Zander jumped down from the castle wall that was tens of meters high.

"I'm going home, Zander."

"Welcome, young master. You came back sooner than I expected."

"Well, there's a lot going on."

Aeolus smiled showing a happy expression. Zander realizes Aeolus has someone beside him.

"So young master, this lady is..."

"She is Anastasia Astel, the eldest daughter of the Astel family of Heroes."

"Nice to meet you, commander Zander."

"Forgive me for my carelessness in not recognizing you, miss. It may be a little late, but I welcome you to Freined city. "

"Thank you for your warm welcome, commander. I heard that you are a talented Grandmaster with broad principles and views, it seems like the rumors are true, hahaha."

"Hahaha, I'm not like what other people have rumored. I'm just an ordinary Grandmaster living life to the best of my ability."

"You really are as humble as rumored, hahaha."

"You're really exaggerating me, miss. Besides, you're more talented than I am, miss greatness is more famous than I am. You are a famous Apostle and a virtuous swordsman as he is said."

"Ah, no. It's just what they say, I just do what I think is right."

"Ahahaha, you're really as kind as you say you are."

"Hahaha."

"..."

'...'

Aeolus looked at the two of them with a strange look.

"Is this really how noble builds social relationships?"

'Well, praise your interlocutor first before entering a higher stage of discussion. Especially when your interlocutor is someone with great potential or ability, then getting on his good side is a better thing to do.'

Nothing answers the question with the expression of someone who has experience. Aeolus mediates the conversation.

"Well then, it's uncomfortable talking outside. It's more comfortable if we talk inside, I'll be glad if you want to visit, miss."

"Of course with pleasure, Mr. Aeolus."
