Living in a Shield World
Rays of ancestors

THE RAYS OF THE ANCESTORS

The light that was pointing right between my eyebrows was extremely cold. Makes me want to sleep. Why does this sword seem to know I am so tense. I relaxed after being cold. I'm sleepy.

Where it's like a forest. There are many white-haired men and women here.

"Andro Sammy come here son!"

A male voice called out to the two boys, one of the boys had a familiar face.

"Look son, daddy's sword. This is the sword that will be the vortex of power of our electric shield"

"It's so good dad. What is this black gem?"

"The original mineral metals of the Earth's core, these are hard to form.it took dozens of people to perfect their strength"

"To slash what a sword of this size!!" asked the boy whose face was unfamiliar.

"Not slashing Sammy, it's to seal the power of the electric shield, so it can be worn forever. You know our planet is very fragile. We only rely on the shield to block the celestial body that hits every second. We keep circling the planet Kiehl, like we're part of a satellite, but we're aliens in this solar system."

"This sword has great power to concentrate the energy of lightning in order to maintain the strength of the shield".

"Yes, Andro, only one who has the strength of this sword can lift it".

"Dad this is so heavy!!!".

Andro and Sammy took turns raising the sword. His father just laughed happily at the adorable behavior of his son.

"Hannah, Hannah!! Wake up! Let's breakfast!"

" Samantha! You're here again!" I still rub my eyes, but this girl has changed clothes and dressed up.

"Sam asked me to wake you up to be ready soon, he said Spain will meet you!"

"I'll go to the bathroom first!"

"Let's have breakfast with me!" said Samantha.

At the dining table in the hotel room, Samantha spoke little.

"I haven't had breakfast either, Sammy told me to go with you".

"Believe Samantha"

He just smiled.

"The bath water is warm, mixed with forest orange water. The hair dryer is in the closet", Samantha reminded me.

"Believe Samantha".

************************************************

The warm bath was so refreshing, my hair is so white today. I can't cover it anymore. My dirty cloth knit hair cup. Don't know what's gonna happen. After drying my hair looked very white, my eyebrows and my eyelashes.

I'll curl my hair, so as not to steal too much attention. The clothes Samantha bought were all t-shirts and pants for running, she even bought me sneakers.

The door was knocked on, I guess Sam. When I open

"Sir Andy.., I'm so happy. I thought I'd die locked up here" .I hugged him right away.

"You're good Hannah said, just be yourself this time in front of Spain. May the great General seem to be considering a little girl like you". Andy spoke in half a whisper.

Mr. Andy looked at me for a long time and stroked my hair. I can't even say.

"I'm going first....! Remember ask Sammy whatever you need!"

Then Mr. Andy left in a hurry without saying hello. When Mr. Andy came, the other soldiers weren't in front of my room. When Mr. Andy arrived and left, a group of soldiers who were guarding me emerged from the hallway with Sammy.

Shortly after Andy left, my door was knocked again. This time it was Sam.

"Hannah, Spain calls you. I'll take you there. Bring sword...."

I went escorted by six soldiers. It's embarrassing, like a prisoner. Along the way people look at me. Thankfully, the elevator was not far away. I saw Sam, pressing the Military screen. Where will I be taken...?

I entered a very beautiful building. Inside the building is a giant sword statue. It looks like my sword. It's the same writing as The First.

I was stuck in front of the statue. Sam patted my shoulder.

" Come on Hannah, Spain is waiting for you in the practice room. Relax I'll protect you"

I arrived at the training room just an empty hall, but on the wall it was full of various weapons. Spain was waiting for me, without clothes. His body was clad in gauze even his wrist. But he could still swing a sword swing.

After looking at me, his eyes were furious, red. He shouted, "AAAAARGGGHHHH", he seems to be very upset with me.

"You white-haired girl, raise your sword against me" I kept silent, thinking this Great General, has gone mad. Why don't you just kill me. I can't use a sword.

Spain ran as fast as lightning, then pointed her sword right over my head. Suddenly the swing of the sword of Spain stopped. I thought I was dead. Five small swords held Spain's sword. The little sword was thrown by Sam from a distance.

"General, please reconsider. We've been searching for this sword for hundreds of years. Now he's picking a cafe waitress girl. We better train this girl to be useful in the future". Sam ran and said that.

Spain melted, she took off her sword.

"How old are you Hannah"

"Twenty"

"Okay, I'll personally teach you how to play the sword. You must keep your sword well"

Spain threw a wooden sword for me.

I let the wooden sword fall next to me. This Spain is a little crazy in my opinion. Sam approached, then whispered to me, "Hannah, I'm here. Relax, I'll help you"

"Hannah Jacklyn's! You should be honored that I will teach you myself", cried Spain.

"Take your sword, straighten it forward with your hands" and then he came closer to me he saw the way I held. From behind he hugged me and then set my hand to look like him.

Sam's ready to protect me, if Spain's like that. It was fortunate that this General only saw me as his disciple not his opponent. As Spain hugged from behind I smelled her scent, it was as fragrant as someone once was, but I forgot who!

I don't like being close to Spain because the smell of her makes me drunk. Spain taught me like crazy, she even arranged what I should eat. I was forced to be vegetarian. The word vegetarian Spain makes my body lighter to move.

************************************************

It's been two weeks, I'm so bored. Samantha has bought twenty clothes and underwear for me. I'm still not allowed to call anyone.

Entering the third week, Spain taught me to hold a sword while running. Very difficult.....Holding the sword while running then slashing the opponent with two hands. Then run again slashing the opponent with one hand. Tired hands make wooden swords often slip from the grasp.

The third week was very tiring, I even often missed dinner, because I fell asleep immediately. Samantha used to visit me checking on me. Samantha said my weight dropped dramatically.

The fourth week of Spain drove me crazy. He put a hearing test in my ear. I was told to run around doing the tests I heard in my ear. Crazy one!!! I'm gonna throw up, Spain is crazy. I'm so pissed off. He only commands me this and that. This fourth week he also told me to climb a cliff while doing a language test. Without safety. Just rope.

After the training, my breathing rumbled, irritated beyond measure. Spain approached me, then looked at me sharply, speaking cynically, "How Hannah, you're upset, wants to be mad at me! I'm way above you, I can kill you anytime!".

Spain always tries to make me angry. I was always given a heavy wooden sword. The First is lighter.

I've been here a month. I want to go home, better put me in the military, than this. Indistinct.

"Sam, if I go into the military, will Spain stop making me like this?", I asked curiously.

"I don't know Hannah, I'm gonna try to discuss this with Andy. You hold on Hannah. We'll find a way out", Sam replied carefully.

My body is stronger, I can hear and see more clearly. It feels like Spain's hard training is starting to have an effect on my senses.
