The Story of the Brave Warrior
1: Adventure

...Episode 14's...

...Year: 421>422...

Raden..

Marie...

It's been 4 days that I've been treated, the doctors and nurses are confused as to how I can recover faster than a normal human being.

"that's because I'm a great adventurer, a wound like this will heal soon."

I said it proud, thinking I was really cool. Maybe I didn't tell the secret that if I had the ability to regenerate, to be honest I didn't know where this power came from.

Maybe I'll ask Marie this, I think she'll know a little bit about this.

although I was happy to recover quickly and be able to travel quickly, bad news happened to me again, apparently Adam lied if marie would be my guide, in fact I was Marie's guide myself, I was told to keep her going to university together.

"You're a liar..Adam's.."

Marie couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the road even though we already had a map and compass, we still couldn't start the journey, so we decided to look for the nearest village to the south, to get the right information and direction.

the two of us then found a small village, we both decided to rest in this village for a while, of course we asked the village chief for help to give the right direction of the road.

there is no guild office here, naturally a small village, there are only 11 houses here, plus this region can be fairly safe from danger, plus royal soldiers often pass through this place.

In my bag, I carried Adam's guidebook that he gave me, as well as a fragment of my beloved archiles. For ever I will carry it wherever I am.

A few days later, Marie returned.

"is there good news?."

"Yes we got it.."

Marie came up to me and gave me a map, I saw the contents of the map, it turns out the village head has given help, which is giving direction.

in the image of the map, there are lines and circles, red lines marked dangerous roads, and,

 and the black line marked the safe way.

for a circle, it can be a forest, mountain, cave and other areas, the core is the same function as black and red.

"how do we go now?."

"Of course, I don't want to stay here long."

we both decided to leave immediately,

I prepared the luggage and did not forget to fill the clean water in my drinking bottle.

"thank you very much."

I thanked the village chief for helping us.

after that we went straight away.

"...."

"hey Marie.. Are you sure that the map is correct."

"Of course not, this just shows a safe and dangerous place."

if he only shows us a safe and dangerous place, he has not given us a way.

for the first time I have to go to a place far away from here. I can't imagine how big the world is. Just imagine a lulutea continent this big, not yet another continent.

It was almost impossible to explore this world alone.

"..."

We both walked, I just followed marie, she kept staring at the map.

"hey better not ruin that map."

"ishh you just shut up, don't help much of the talk."

 I warned him to keep the map fine, it's because we only have 1 map.

"so where are we going this time?."

"The haunted forest, it's in the southwest direction."

"Why do we have to go through that forest?."

"That's because if we go the other way we're likely to get into a lot of trouble, like long grass mound territory, wild wolf territory, impassable cliffs, and all sorts of things like that."

as the red circle draws on the map, I think the forest is just as dangerous as the others, as the name suggests. I hope Marie doesn't scream at night.

"how long we'll be there."

"look how big this forest is on the map...

 5 Days is enough."

5 Days well, I remember something in the guidebook I read. If the central continent of lulutea has many large beasts, let alone forests, I hope there are no snakes, giant crocodiles there, let alone monsters...

That is why all cities and villages tend to be close to the coastal area.

hardcall city is actually the port city of the largest river, this region should already belong to the central region of the continent.

"it seems to be a bother."

"Why..?."

"There's nothing."

****

Night has arrived, we both have entered this haunted forest, to rest of course we are looking for a safe and comfortable place to sleep soundly.

"yeaah so. it looks like it's good."

said Marie.

Marie collected a lot of tree ratings and built it like a tent.

"You think it's safe to protect you, the wind's a little broken for sure."

"Be quiet, do you know a suitable place to rest?!!."

I then showed my index finger up above, right above the trees in the forest.

"certain.. Look up there."

"You think I can climb what.. I'm scared too high."

"Well. (that's a hassle.)"

I was forced to build a hole right in the trunk of a tree.

Duaarr!!!

"it's just you clean the flakes yourself you just sleep here"

"okay thank you, where will you sleep?."

"I.. I'll keep watch, after I'll sleep too."

I didn't expect that if Marie wasn't surprised by this mystical power I was unleashing, I guess she could use it or she already knew, if so why didn't she use it. I think he's another type of user like Adam's who's got electricity and poison gas.

I haven't been practicing for a long time, I think it's a good time, to protect Marie, I leave a little bit of my soul energy around where Marie's resting, if I feel any soul energy other than Marie's, I'll check it out soon.

"..."

in the morning, I woke up from sleep because of the sound of birds chirping in the morning. Last night I practiced physical and release energy control, draining a lot of energy.

I slept on a tree, on the trunk of the tree, under which Marie rested. I jumped down perfectly.

"hey Marie's up early.."

"Yes.iya."

Marie is still sleepy, her eye bags are still visible, I think she often stayed up late or she had trouble sleeping last night, I think I'll let her go for a while.

10 Minutes later.

I made some food for breakfast, so I decided to go find food around the forest here, this place says food.

There were a lot of fruits, mushrooms, animals and even I just realized that it was close to the river, so I decided to take some water and catch some fish.

Now I'm cooking soup from the ingredients I took earlier.

Marie woke up and walked over to me,

I think he smelled this food.

"Oh hey.. I'm up too. Here we sit down for breakfast first."

"Yes, thank you.."

Marie sat down next to me, I gave her a warm bowl of soup.

Marie saw it, like she was a little wary of this food.

"This is whatever it is."

"ohs.. Okay no problem."

"If you want this berry porridge, it's still warm."

"No thanks."

We both ate together.

After we finished eating we prepared to leave.

"..."

"hey Marie can you use mystic powers?."

"Of course I can, but I don't have talent there."

"that's why?."

"I was born weak, not only physically but also the energy I had was limited."

I finally understood why he didn't use the power last night to create explosive energy, he was weak with mystical energy.

"Even so I'm a mechanic, I have a project to build a giant human-shaped machine that can move."

"Wow cool, how do I."

"It's easy to just flow the energy can move."

it seemed like the way it worked was almost like a monster, a monster was a corpse driven by mystical energy that had already formed a soul on the corpse.

basically all living things are born to have a soul made of mystical energy, but in monsters the process occurs naturally, that is, the energy from nature that makes it.

"..."

"What do you have to do with Adam?."

"nothing, I actually asked mayor hardcall to go to school, and I was accepted after that I was introduced to Adam."

"so.."

there is no relationship at all apparently, I think he is a friend or family Adam, it is not.

****

this is the story where Marie and I went on an adventure, a lot of things happened just to get to the Masjitan university, one of them...

agh!!!

Marie ran very fast, she ran to avoid a wild animal.

it was a very fierce alligator who was chasing Marie.

Marie fell from a tree.

"Raden help me!!!!."

Marie quickly move aside!!!."

NOVA BEAM

"..."

The alligator was knocked down by my attack in the form of a ball of energy being thrown, a ball of energy hitting right at the alligator's head.

"Woaaahhhh this is great too.how exciting"

"What a hell did I almost die of being eaten!!!."

The reason we were chased by an alligator was, you two were in the swamp, obviously this place was a lot of wild creatures like alligators, but I did not expect if there was a big one.

If there were a guild around here, maybe I would be great thanks to this alligator.

but I'm now we're in the middle of nowhere, plus we both haven't found anyone.

since the Mubazir let the alligator, I took his skin and flesh, I also originally wanted to carry his teeth as well, but because of its enormous size, so I decided not to bring it, so I decided not to bring it, I think breaking the tip of his teeth is enough...

Marie saw me chopping up alligator meat, I intended to eat it, actually I've never tried it but I think it's edible.

"do you want to eat that meat."

"Sure, I've never tried it so we're eating together."

"Don't you eat by yourself.."

Marie lady, she obviously would not like a food that they think is strange, terrible let alone alligator animal meat, cumaclumin alone, it is like that of a woman.

"...."

I never thought I'd be with Marie any longer than Adam.

Day after day we spent adventuring towards the Masyitan university in the south, precisely the tip of the lulutea continent.

5 Months passed, in the adventure we both always get a lot of trouble on the way, began to be chased by a group of wolves, tigers, extreme storms, and, fight giant snakes and avoid chasing giant hawks that can be 5 meters high.

Even we also had to face monsters 6 times, even so, it was a lot of fun.

Marie also learned about monsters and got a lot of inspiration from there.

Until we get somewhere..

"..."

marie and I found a river,

We both rested there drinking.

I don't know how long we've been gone Marie said it's been 5 months, but it still doesn't feel like I hope we can get there as soon as possible.

"..."

As we rested, the sound of a horse pounding, I heard him pull out my katana and began to prepare, thinking it was a beast, Marie immediately took refuge next to me.

Instantly there were some iron-armored soldiers riding on horses and immediately shouted while surrounding us.

"you guys, drop your weapons immediately!!!"

Marie told me to drop my sword immediately, I didn't want to do anything about it and wanted to talk about it all right so I dropped all my weapons and even my bag.

"Alright, we're not here to cause trouble."

"You adventurers.. You should have been banned from passing through this territory, you should have known that."

How do I know, it's been a long time since we found a village, obviously I don't know, maybe this is the secret headquarters of the royal warrior.

"we're here to find a university!!!."

"University???."

"so you're new students this year."

"A.p??."

We arrived, I thought.

"Yes.."

the man then went down and took off his helmet, he immediately approached me.

"if you're new students, prove it."

Prove it??, what do they mean by mystical energy, to convince him I will show it to him, although hesitant, I still do it, confident in my ability now that has been increasing, even though I have doubts, I still do it, if there is a problem I can easily solve it.

"this is it.."

I put out a ball of energy in my hand.

"that's enough, you two can come."

"Enough, doesn't he need to be tested?."

"I'm just a soldier, testing you guys later isn't me."

as he ordered, we went with him, a few minutes later we were finally able to get out in the middle forest. And see the amazing view. I saw a building, not a big city.

this place is a secret city that is not on any map, Marie and I were shocked to death because they saw this one city is different from the previous cities, Marie said, apparently we both reached the area where the Masyitan university is.

we entered the city, many strange things I had never met before, there was a market as well, they were selling strange items, I did not understand what it was but it seemed expensive. Not only are there humans here, but all races of people are here. There is a half animal race, though,

short humans, reptilian humans there are vampires and there are even elven humans here. This is the first time I have seen so many human races simultaneously. I thought there was a demon race here, but it didn't seem to look at all.

"wait isn't it the vampire race including the demon race as well?."

I don't know if I should find my own.

"..."

"You two should be checked first."

"All right.."

this will be my new life, I wish I could bring my brothers here.
