"You ask him respectfully. Even if you want to, you can threaten us, but why don't you do it?" Ivy said astonished.

"Why should I do it? I just want to maintain the happiness that exists, if I do, you might unite and blow yourself up with me."

"Ah ha ha ha .. that's..."

"Haih .. I think this is in vain, I have to say it again, I have to be healthy, at least for this year I can survive. But I don't know the future. Or do you want to replace me as an ancestor here? If that's true, even with your strength then everything will be fine"

"Yama!" Everyone expressed their disagreement.

"No. Looks like I won't be accepted here"

"Heh ... You say it as if scaring them is not easy?" Reply Yama Sarkas.

"Fu fu, I think so. But, one thing for sure, the reason I asked you for it is because my existence here is only temporary. In fact, I think I can disappear at any time, and it's shorter than you" she said.

Everyone was surprised by the woman's statement. "But isn't that the same? Even I only live 1 year if I just sit. But it would be even shorter if I had to fight and so on. Maybe I don't mind if I have one, a successor."

"Is that so? Would you accept it if I gave you both? But it all depends on you"

"What do you mean successor? I wanted to agree to it, but feared ..no successor could be trained for just a year. At least it should be trained within 3 years, and it should be the fastest and most talented."

"I see, then I guess you can do it"

"W-what!? Didn't I already say it I-" Yama said interjectedly.

"It's okay. I understand it, in other words .. are you having trouble with your age? If so, let me do it, I will cut my age and give it to you. It should last for 7 to 8 years"

"No. How could I accept it?"

"You're an amazing person. It'sit's okay. My age is useless here. It was all for nothing. Calm down, my request is not too difficult and it will all benefit you, it should"

"If so, what should I do to get back at you?"

"none. I'm just asking you to grant your request."

"If so, what is your request, miss?"

"I don't mind anything you'll do with the age I give you. All I want is, let someone I know be your student, at least protect him until he can protect himself."

"No need to be a successor?"

"No. That would make him hate me. And, in addition, please take care of this sword, and when the time is really about to go, give this sword in your name."

"But why?"

"Nothing, it's all to prevent something we don't want in the future"

"What do you mean by us?" Ask Julius.

"Our ancestors, don't you believe in the destruction of this continent? It should be, right? You guys are starting to worry about him. Even long before this, you should have started preparing it. Very long"

"Who are you really!? How do you know that secret!?" Shana is angry.

"Because you have agreed to my request, then I think it's okay if I tell my identity" he said, opening the hood covering his face.
