The Rise of the Sword Expert
A Gift You Can't Forget

"Mr Akion, what's the matter here?" Levian was a little annoyed by the people in white who were looking at us curiously.

"Can we go to the temple library?" I asked softly to a male priest who came across us.

"Y-yeah, sure...." He's a little staggered. But explain to me where the library is well located.

"May I know who Sir is?" tanyakanya.

"I'm Akion Naal Sanktessy." His eyes were slightly rounded, he looked startled for a moment. Then touch his forehead for a second.

"I'm sorry for being so presumptuous earlier."

I'm shaking.

"I'm Verion, the priest here. I'll take you to the library, Mr. Akion."

"No need, I understand your explanation. Thank you for helping me, Reverend Verion." I smiled at him and left Verion.

When I arrived at the entrance of the library, I saw a gold engraving on the door. The big door was towering, my estimate was four meters high. Both sides of the door were guarded by holy knights.

I passed them, they didn't move at all. It was unexpected, that Count Invit was very generous in the access of the sacred temple.

**

I've read some books. Levian was assigned to find the book I wanted.

Strangely enough a descendant of Sanktessy finds out about his family in another county library.

Bruk!

Levian placed four large thick books in front of me.

My hand touching needs the top. The book is old, the dust is still on some sides. Looks like Levian cleared it for me.

His calm eyes were watching me for a while, he started reading later. The book I want no longer exists.

A strange feeling attacked me. If my family were one of the oldest families, wouldn't there be a lot of stories about it? Especially regarding my ancestor named Caesar, he was one of the people who contributed to the Empire. But the story about him is a little. Very fuzzy.

These books are useless. At least what I want is to know how to cultivate the toxic dry soil in my territory. The only thing capable of growing was in the forest of darkness.

Hydroponics is good, a technology that makes plants grow well on narrow land, and can be harvested in large quantities. However, if the condition of the soil is not improved, then there will be new problems that will arise. Nature always comes from cause and effect.

I saw Tanka lying in a pile of books. He played with his magic several times, bored.

Why didn't I think before? I should have asked a witness of history.

"Tanka, have you been out of the dark forest before?

Tanka looked at me, then nodded.

"I followed Caesar, even I went to Caesar's house and fought with him."

My heart was pounding, blood was flowing from my fingertips to my head.

"How's Sanktessy?"

"Good area. I remember being in the flower garden with Caesar. Yeah, I can't wait to go to Sanktessy again." She laughs.

Me and Levian fell silent.

Tanka's ignorance will disappoint her.

"Sanktessy was the most arid region in the empire, Tanka,"

Tanka looked at me in disbelief as if I was joking with her.

"Tanka, a lot has changed from Sanktessy. But the ancients always said Sanktessy was a poor territory."

"That's impossible! If there is a richest and most beautiful region it is Sanktessy."

I'm shaking.

"Isn't it weird, too many changes and documents are omitted."

Levian and Tanka agreed.

"What about Caesar, he must be a great knight too right? Tell me. "

"Caesar is a great knight you can't imagine. But it's different with you, Akion."

Everyone is different, right.

"Achion is a swordmaster, but Caesar is a Saint."

I'm speechless. No one had ever mentioned about Caesar being a Saint. Even in the family record.

"Saint! You gotta be kidding me, Tanka."

Tanka laughed at me.

"Is this a secret?" He shrugged both of his shoulders, "Caesar has a high holy power. It seems that because of his great strength he was feared."

My mind froze, unable to digest it properly. Wh why? Wh why? Wh why? That's a question that only comes to my mind.

"Even I remember Caesar a little. Apparently, our long talk, and its history, I forgot it."

He's disappointed.

"But whatever it is, Caesar seems to know what he's doing."

He could not hide his disappointment and uneasiness. As for me, I feel disappointed by this blurry fact.

"You're the beggar's family, right?"

As he greeted me with his foul insults, I was before the gate of the holy temple. I looked at him without reaction. Seeing her disrespectful behavior, it made me doubt the clothes she was wearing.

"You've been acting insolent."

Levian returned to the sword. He retreated.

Let me look at the boy in front of me first. Brunette like her father, and a pretty good-looking cocky face. Maybe.just like his mother.

"You're a priest?" I asked as if I didn't know.

"Are you blind?" Arrogant.

I laughed mockingly. This kid is funny.

"You dare laugh at me." Alec swung his hand. It was so light that his hand moved to hit someone else. As the saying goes, like son like father. They were both without the slightest exclusion.

But my hands are faster. His hand was quite strong and it looked like it was broken. Because I saw an arm that swayed like a jelly.

"ARGH!!" He yelled. People were looking at us from a distance, I stayed calm, and touched Alec as if I cared about him.

"You jerk!" his screeches.

"Shut your mouth like those kids, Alec."

Auraku.

"You must be wearing this uniform because of the insider yes" I sneered. Wherever you are there are always rotten people who use their power, at least if he enters through the back lane, then he must study hard and take responsibility.

But one who wants to ease everything by using this rotten path, mana might be able to think like a saint.

The priest's clothes did not match him at all.

"Secared information. Sanktessy's debt has been paid off." I whispered to Alec while patting his shoulder slowly.

Seen from afar may be like that, but in fact every time I give a pat, I press his mental until it falls further and makes him slump.

Body vibrates. A combination of hand and mental pain. A priest couldn't even use medicinal magic. Funnier.

People came closer to see Alec fall. I extended a hand.

"Someone please help pastor Alec. He hurt his hand." I called the priest who came to us.

Alec was silent while moaning, he went in the trousers of two other priests. I saw from a distance, my anger was not gone.

The holy temple is not the place.

**

I ordered Levian to rest. As long as he's with me, I've never seen him rest well.

Of course I don't want to be disturbed either. Given my young age, I still have a childish nature.

"Where is Akion going?"

Tanka's following. The wind pierced us fiercely, I jumped from the top of the building to another.

I put my ears on well. True to my guess, the spoiled child must have gone home and complained to his father.

From inside his room, Alec was whimpering by yelling at me. Two priests just came out of his house.

"Dad, you have to make calculations with the beggar's family!" He screamed at his father.

"My hand is broken because of it...." He groaned as if his life was in trouble.

"My handsome son, father will definitely make calculations on their family." His father hugged Alec. His face was sad with emotion.

I watched this comedy drama.

"Akion wants what?"

Tanka who was watching me wanted to know what I wanted to do.

"Something funny. You must like her, Tanka."

I looked at Tanka with a jail face. Tanka seemed to understand what I was going to do to them.

Thirty minutes later, I walked into their house with my face covered in a mask. I started in Count Invit's shitty room. I tied him up, destroyed his files.

His eyes scream for help. But unfortunately, the whole house is under the influence of the illusion that Tanka gave.

So they won't hear all this noise. So I don't need a hurry.

I looked at Count Invit's face again. His afflicted face comforted me, he wriggled like a hot worm. Then I hit him in the face once and passed out.

Now, I go into Alec's room, he's asleep like a baby. His face was as messy as a child. I threw a thick book from his closet firmly against his face.

He shouted loudly, fresh blood flowing from his broken nose and lips. Yeah, that rotten mouth I should've destroyed earlier.

He screamed for help, and no one came to his aid. I slapped him several times, making both his cheeks very red.

Several times also he tried to use holy power, but he could not. Because he doesn't seem to have. He only went in for style, and status to be more respected.

I pulled out his tongue, a long tongue.

A boneless tongue that causes problems. Speaking of status, he should understand who he is dealing with.

"kayi-an? (Who are you?)"

He spoke limitedly in an unclear voice. I pressed the tongue I was holding. He was so tight that his tears fell from both of his eyes.

I hit him in the head because suddenly I wanted to.

"A sinner like you doesn't deserve to know."

My voice has been altered using Tanka's magic. She shook her head. But look, I don't care about him. His hand that was broken before my hand, I stepped on firmly. She's fainted.

This is how they should be. The two people who often insulted my family, I dragged out. They will get a gift that will not be forgotten in their lifetime.

My best gift to them.
