ZEPHYRS
The Genius Who Has Been Born
As Kotaro enters the Gate of Sirians to head to the Otherworld, a creature is seen watching them from behind. Three years later in the village of Brahm, after Kotaro entered the Otherworld with Aoyanagi, the atmosphere in the village turned out to be not as before, the situation of the village is gripping because it is no longer in the protection area of King Zurk, the leader of the city of Einsville, resulting in a large number of bandits and criminals who attacked the village, robbing the property and wealth of the villagers and even the number of casualties, this was the result of negligence from the tribal chief who let a resident of his village who broke the rules enter the forbidden forest.
Once every seven days, the chief of the Brahm village tribe must collect their wealth to give to the bandits, if not or less than the prescribed amount to send, the bandits will take one life from the villagers of Brahm as a result. Julianz, Einz, Ainz, Dantes, Sataru, Freyla and Delila who could not bear to see this incident constantly befall his village, the seven of them went to see King Zurk to ask the Einzville soldiers to protect their village from the attacks of the bandits, but while at the gate of the palace, they went to the village, they were not given entry by the doorman because they did not have permission to meet the king.
“Allow us in, we want to meet the king.!” dantes said with his floor to the gate warriors.
“Can't, you can't enter because you don't have permission to meet Raja” reply the soldier.
“Please us, there is something we should discuss to raja” welcome Delila and Freyla with together.
“Yes, this is a very precarious incident” Julianz replied.
There was no reaction from the soldier, even so they still begged and urged to meet the king because there were things to say but still ended in vain. Even so they waited in front of the palace until the king came out and wanted to listen to their story, day after day they passed in front of the king's palace, not a single soldier quivering his heart to let them in, the king, who could not stand his palace being defiled by the villagers, finally accepted them in to meet him.
“Please enter, this is the king's order, you have been allowed to enter with the permission of king” said the soldier as if to surprise Julianz and others.
They finally entered the palace and headed for the king's room, but when they were about to speak to explain the situation of his village which was attacked by bandits, the king had already rejected any request regarding the village of Brahm, the king, those who were astonished to see the look on the face of the king who was full of anger due to the negligence of the villagers who broke the rules that had been agreed on long ago, did not want to help in any form.
“Do you guys not know the agreement? The king said he started their conversation.
“YA, WE KNOW” simultaneously answers from the children loudly.
“Then, what did you come here for? You should have known the answer” replied the king.
“But this is a different situation, the incident was not intentional or intended to violate” Freyla said to defend the mistake of her best friend
“No, the rules remain rules, there is no tolerance for violations of the agreement that has occurred for decades, ” replied the king while telling his soldiers to drag the children out
Desperate faces were drawn from the look on their faces, unable to say anything more, he said, Dantes, upset by the king's behavior, begins to grow furious and threatens revenge against the bandits and the king, Dantes is one of Kotaro's seven best friends, this red-haired man was the fastest to be carried away by emotions, his temperament, reckless yet actually had a good heart.
Seeing Dantes like that, Ainz could not hold back his tears anymore, frustrated with the future of his village, his family and his friends, Ainz who is now 18 years old is the youngest member of the others, Julianz who was upset and told Dantes to calm down so that the situation is not getting more complicated, but Dantes who had been carried away by anger even against all the words that Julianz threw to him, the difference was inevitable, blame each other, throwing responsibility began.
“Dantes, quiet! Don't make things worse with your words” Julianz yelled at him.
“What? How now? With this incident? Back home empty handed? reply Dantes.
“Of course not, we find another way” Julianz said
“Other paths? Are you crazy? The king is no longer willing to help our village”
“This is all because of Kotaro, arbitrarily entering the forbidden territory, even though he already knows the consequences when entering the region” said Dantes furiously.
Dantes who began to call the name Kotaro as the root of this incident immediately made Delila and Freyla slap them both to stop the stupid treatment, this incident made Ainz even more unable to hold back his falling tears, Einz the older brother, embracing his sister to not be sad anymore.
“Already Ainz, do not cry continuously, we can solve this problem” Einz told his sad sister.
Sataru who looks silent as if he does not want to comment on this incident suddenly invites them to go home to rest.
Meanwhile Kotaro who was in Otherworld was training very hard to deepen the strength he had. Starting from the practice of shooting ice to remove ice in the form of a shield as a form of defense.
"We've been training for a long time, but there's still less" Aoyanagi said
A moment after that came the sound of cries for help from a distance. It seemed that a figure from a different race from the two of them was in danger. The two creatures were fighting but one of the parties was being cornered and was about to lose.
"Well that's it, hey Kotaro let's help him"
Aoyanagi and Kotaro who rushed towards the place successfully thwarted a deadly attack from one of the parties.
"Hmm? Dragoons attacking Elves? You guys are training?"
"No, he was planning to kill me" the Elf replied
"Huh? whatchu mean??"
"Tell him later, quickly defeat him"
The battle between Kotaro and one of the Dragoon races begins. Attack after attack continues to be launched by the Dragoon side where Kotaro still does not understand the problem where it can only survive. Not yet knowing which one is right and must be defended, Kotaro continues to avoid while analyzing the situation around. Like the burning forest, the fallen tree and the slash wound from the weapon used by the Dragoon had left a wound on the Elf's arm.
"Ok now I understand, hey damn dragon, prepare to accept your defeat"
On the seventh day, the day when it was time to gather their belongings to be given to the bandits tonight, the seven of them who intend to end all this eventually devise a plan to make the bandits stop attacking the village by defeating them.
During the day, Julianz and his friends went around the village to gather all the residents in the village square because there was something they wanted to say about the assault of the bandits, after they had all gathered together, Julianz explains to everyone how to stop the haunting of his village.
“To everyone, we have a plan to stop the nightmare we have been having” cried Julianz
“Yes, we plan to fight the oppression that the bandits have done to our village” Freyla said
“We must work together to defeat the bandits so as not to enter our village again” Julianz told the villagers.
“We need your cohesiveness to deal with this problem so as not to continue to drag”
The residents who were shocked by Julianz and Freyla's explanation laughed, because there was no way that people as weak as they could fight the bandits who used sharp weapons, the more the population laughed, the more furious Dantes who did not think his village was a collection of cowards, he immediately shouted and insulted the villagers.
“Hey you cowards, is this your answer as the villagers of Brahm?
“This is your only contribution in protecting the village?”
“Can't you fight for your village?”
“Is our village this weak?”
“If true, all of you cowards do not want to fight for the village where you were born”
Not accepting Dantes' words, the residents were angry and carried away by the emotions to fight, seeing this Julianz and his friends smiled, as if Dantes' words had encouraged and aroused the villagers.
Meanwhile a fierce fight between Kotaro and the Dragoon race ensues, reciprocating an attack that leaves Aoyanagi in awe of the talent of a child he discovered three years ago. Not wanting to deny this fight, he also considered that this was a real exercise. Because from the beginning he was only trained by Aoyanagi dealing with inanimate objects.
The moves and moves that have been obtained from Aoyanagi were launched one by one, from starting to take out Ice Saber as a melee weapon, he said, until the Rain of Dawn high-level style used as a long-range attack was easily mastered. The first time Dragoon saw such an attack was overwhelmed by Kotaro. The sabetan ice sword Kotaro owned repeatedly landed on the hard skin of the dragon which finally released a lot of blood splashes.
Seeing his enemy already overwhelmed and running out of strength to fight, with a thin smile Kotaro plans to finish off his enemy with the last ultimate attack, Dash & Slash.
