The sun has risen, the birds sing a unique but beautiful melody that makes everyone who heard them realized how beautiful the world actually is, the sound of children laughing could be heard from afar. But a certain someone is still lying on top of the bed.
!!!???
Oz opens his eyes, he finally wakes up from his deep slumber. His eyes staring emptily at the wooden ceilings, trying to remember how he could arrive at this comfortable bed.
Oz tries to lifts his body slowly.
“Ugh! Damn! all my body is aching!” He cursed.
Oz checked his body and surprised that he’s half-naked. Moreover, his body is full of bruises.
“No wonder all of my body is aching…”
Oz observes his surroundings and he found someone is looking out of the window which turned out to be old man Kyron. His long white hair made him look like a respectful and wise elder.
“You’re finally awake..” Old man Kyron said with his deep voice.
Old man Kyron stares Oz deeply making Oz shivers.
“What is it?” Oz asked, nervous.
“You passed the test, and in an unbelievable way. As I’ve promised, I’ll enroll you at the magic academy, you don’t need to worry about the fee cause I’ll pay it for you.” Old man Kyron said and threw a pocket bag to Oz.
*Chink Chink*
Oz immediately caught the bag.
(It’s full of coins!)
“Wh-what is this?”
“It’s your first payment, you’ll be working here starting tomorrow. Nash will explain to you the rest.” Old man Kyron said and left the room leaving the speechless Oz behind.
“Big bro!”
“WHOA!” Oz surprised.
Oz didn’t notice Nash that has been sitting beside him all along.
“Kid you startled me, you seem to have some talent to be an assassin, even I couldn’t notice your presence.”
“Is that so? people often said that to me, maybe I could be a great assassin!” Nash said while imitating to be a ninja.
“So, what does old man Kyron asked you to tell me?” Oz asked.
“Oh yeah, Grandpa Kyron asked me to tell you that he doesn’t have much time because he has an appointment with the Avalon magic academy headmaster.”
“AHH! I almost forgot! He said that you fainted because your body is still unused and incompatible with your enormous mana, and your body is full of bruises is one of the consequences. I don’t quite understand all the things that he said, so you can ask him directly later”
“And he asked me to show you around to introduce you to the orphans and the staff” Said Nash.
Nash introduces Oz to the orphans and the staff and shows Oz around. There are only 50 orphans in this big orphanage, and the staff is only the cook, so basically, there is only 1 staff in this orphanage.
“Only 1 person? who is it?”
“Sister Elena!” Nash said cheerfully.
“Sister Elena? Who is she?”
“She’s the beautiful sister that has the beautiful brown hair, she’s there when I introduce you to the other orphans”
“She’s our only cook! And sister Elena’s cook is very VERY delicious!” Nash’s mouth gave a hint of hunger when he said that, making Oz wonders how exactly delicious the cooking of sister Elena that Nash just mentioned.
Oz smirked.
“Hey kid, next time I’ll show you my cooking that will defeat even that sister Elena of yours,” Oz said braggingly.
“Liar! Sister Elena’s cooking is the best!” Nash refuted.
“Just wait and see, kid. I’ll make a dish that’ll make you bow and say ‘Hail master Ren!’ ” Ren teases.
Ren keeps on teasing Nash until they finally arrived at their final destination.
“Ah! This is your room big bro!”
Nash opened the door and showed the room that 3/4 smaller than the old man Kyron’s room. All of the furniture are neatly placed in order, and there is no speck of dust could be seen anywhere.
“Thanks, kid. I’ll check my room later, I think that I want to have a stroll around the town first, I’ll be back when the sky has gone dark”
“Okay, Be careful on your way!” Nash cheerfully said.
(Let’s see what this kingdom have)
(My trip got ruined by that noble bastard before, I hope that there won’t be another fight)
“That girl with the cold eyes, I wonder who she is…” Oz muttered to himself.
Oz left the orphanage to stroll the town while the sun still high above, having the chance of watching a medieval-era town with his own eyes makes Oz extra excited.
Oz strolls the town by jumping from roof to roof to catch a bigger view of the town. Merchants, nobles, and people with professions that you can’t normally see in the modern era are right in front of Oz’s eyes.
The view makes a smile at Oz’s face unconsciously, seeing a place without any pollutions, technology contamination, and without those people that only search for profits wherever they go.
At least, that what Oz thought to himself.
“Man, what kind of deed that I do to be able to see this peaceful sight-“
“Faster you lowly peasant!”
Right at the moment when Oz was enjoying his moment viewing the town, an arrogant voice suddenly appeared ruining the Oz’s sightseeing.
“Who the hell is it this time”
Oz searches the source of the arrogant voice he just heard, and the sight he saw makes him frown.
A man, with a luxurious gown that indicates his high social standing is whipping a man in front of him that looks like his servant. The servant is carrying a lot of items that seem to be the items that his owner had just bought.
Oz observes their surroundings and he saw that all of the people just saw the scene and immediately continues what they had been doing as if it’s a normal occurrence for a servant and a noble.
“Hm. Maybe this kingdom is not as peaceful as I thought.”
Oz wants to meddle with the problem. but thinking that the servant will get more trouble if he did, and he will be facing a bigger problem that could ruin his medieval city life, Oz tries his best to restrain himself.
Oz jumps down from the room and walks leisurely, viewing and trying to forget what just happened. In the middle of his stroll, he passes a weaponry show that interests him. He saw a sword that is displayed in front of the shop are emitting a dense fire element aura.
“That, is that a magic weapon?”
Oz got interested in the shop so he enters the show hoping that he would found a weapon suitable with his taste. He remembers that he brought some things from the magical forest, thinking that maybe some things could be valuable or maybe expensive to be sold.
“Welcome!” An old man at his 40’s greeted Oz with a face full of smiles.
“Hm? It’s an unknown face. Are you new here, kid?” Asked him.
“Yes, I just came here yesterday” Oz answers.
“So you’re new!” Said the man full of smiles.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Owen, I’m the owner of this shabby place.” Said the man full of smiles.
“Is there anything you searching for, kid? You can buy things that already made here or order some things that you want to be made with extra pay! You could also sell the materials you want to sell here!”
“Um. Let me take a look first”
Oz wanders the place observing every weapon he saw very thoroughly.
(Every weapon wether it swords or spears made here are all high-quality weapons)
(Blacksmiths at the earth would be ashamed if they saw all of the weapons here)
“It seems that you’re a very skilled blacksmith, old man” Oz said while continues to observes the weapons.
“You have a good pair of eyes, kid. People usually see weapons only by their prices. You can just call me Owen.” Owen said.
“I humbly accept your offer,” Oz said with a smirk.
“What an interesting kid,” Owen muttered.
“Hm?”
Oz’s eyes fell to a sword that very similar to a katana, it’s the same model with the katana that he used in his fight with old man Kyron.
(Well that one is broken though)
“Owen. does old man Kyron also buy weapons he-”
“Excuse me. Owen? Are you there? I broke my sword again, I hope you could fix it!” A girl with dark blue hair with deep-blue cold eyes suddenly enters the store.
The girls and Oz froze at the same time when they saw each other.
“You…” “You…”
