Amari and Sayuri were walking alone in a forest.
They were walking slowly, no worries.
Side by side, Amari said calmly.
"Phew, we finally managed to despise them..."
Sayuri walked calmly too, one hand on her staff.
"Yeah... Hm, you are?"
Amari gave her a smile.
"Oh, my name is Amari! Nice to meet you."
Sayuri suddenly stopped, extending the staff to the side, holding the hat with the other and saying in a very... epic way, with her cape flying in the wind.
"My name is Sayuri!! And i will be the best wizard in the world!!!"
Amari kept smiling.
"I knew your name, but that goal... that's interesting... And you don't look dangerous at all-"
"W-What did you sai-"
"Forget it..."
Then, Sayuri looked at the sides, confused and searching for something.
"Hm... Where is that kid?"
Amari slowly looked at the sides.
There was no sign of me.
"K-KAI!? WHERE ARE Y-"
"HELPPPPPP!!! AMARIII!!! I WAS CAUGHT!! BUAHHHHHH!!!"
They heard my screams from far away, so high that it made birds fly out of the trees.
"KAI?! W-WHAT HAPPENED!?"
Amari ran off towards the sound.
"H-Hey, wait for me!"
Sayuri went right after her.
After a short time, they reached were i was.
"H-HOW DID YOU GOT THERE!?"
Amari yelled at me.
I was hanging from a tree, upside down, with his feet attached to it by a rope.
"AUGH! I DON'T KNOW!! While we were running, i saw a rope on the ground... I wanted to know what that was, but the moment i put my foot on it, IT JUST GRABBED ME!!"
Amari was quite irritated.
"THAT WAS A OBVIOUSLY TRAP YOU IDIOT!!"
I was angry too. I couldn't get loose at all, I kept trying to grab the rope, tearing it, moving a lot.
"THIS THING NEVER LETS ME GO!! GET OUT OF ME YOU STUPID ROPE!! LET ME GOOOoooooooo..."
I suddenly stopped, looking at Amari and Sayuri with puppy dog eyes.
"Its your fault."
"I THOUGHT YOU WOULD ASK FOR HELP!! HOW ITS MY FAU-"
"Bium."
Sayuri said that, while aiming her staff at the rope around my legs.
A fine white beam came, and quickly cut the rope.
"AH! SWITCH THAT ATTACK NAME-"
I fell head first onto the ground.
"Augh... that hurt..."
Amari and Sayuri quickly went to my side.
Amari crossed her arms, rolling her eyes.
"Oh my, and you call yourself captain? Y-"
"Sayuri, thanks!"
I said looking at Sayuri with a serious face, ignoring Amari.
Sayuri looked a bit embarrassed, looking at the ground trying to hide her smile with the hat.
"I-It was nothing major, I just used basic magic-"
"Not that, that I could solve it myself-"
Amari quickly shouted.
"LIAR!"
I looked in Sayuri's face covered by her own hat.
I put my hands on my hips, saying out loud.
"And, welcome to Kai's crew!"
Sayuri took a shy peek at me, and then said, quietly embarrassed but trying to look "strong" or something.
"Y-Yes! G-Gladly!"
Amari smiled seeing Sayuri's cute reaction.
"He... I never agreed with that name tho!"
I looked at her, kinda confused.
"Hm well, we never choosed one so."
"We We also just met, we didn't have time to decide..."
"THATS MY POINT!"
Sayuri looked quite confused at us.
"Wait?! YOU HAVE ALSO ONLY MET EACH OTHER A SHORT TIME AGO!?"
We both nodded.
"Yeah, literally a few hours ago."
Sayuri was very suprised.
"W-WAIT, HOW IS YOUR TEAM LIKE?!"
Amari kept talking calmly.
"Hm well... We have no home, no food, no money... Were not even Suiciders."
Sayuri had a reality check.
"N-NOT EVEN SUICIDERS?!... I-I THOUGHT YOU WERE PRETTY STRONG!"
I smiled, stretching my arms and closing my fists, doing that famous position of showing off the arm muscles.
"I am!"
"NO YOU'RE NOT!!... But then uh, why did you think that way?"
Sayuri spoke very quickly.
"Everybody who challenges to a duel a wizard with a staff and accepts to fight from a distance, have to be very strong!!"
Amari giggled.
"Oh well, he's just an idiot."
"SHUT UP! I-I was distracted and uh... SHUCKS!"
Sayuri keep talking, very embarrassed.
"A-AND I THOUGHT THAT I JUST HAD LUCK TO WIN AGAINST YOU! B-BUT IT WAS... FAIR!?"
I also was blushed, this is an absolute humiliation.
"N-NO! I-I-I I STUMBLE AND-"
Amari simply placed her hand on my head, and forced me to lower it.
"... Y-Youre right..."
Said I.
A gust of wind blew past us as Amari let go of my head, and I slowly raised it, scratching my hair embarrassedly, not looking anyone in the eye.
Amari crossed her arms, looking at the side.
"So... What now, you're leaving?..."
Sayuri looked at us, and simply said.
"Uh? No, I was just really surprised."
Now we were suprised, looking at her in disbelief.
"R-Reall?-"
Sayuri kept talking, with a smile that she was trying to hide with a proud look.
"Yeah, i don't care at all, as long as I can have companions, it is enough for me."
I looked at Amari, she looked at me, we looked at Sayuri.
"B-"
She put her hand on her chin, looking up.
"It must be around 4 pm... You said you have no foodright? Do you want to go eat at the guild?"
I quickly shouted.
"YES YES!! OF COU-!"
Amari interrupted me.
"But we have no money..."
Sayuri said quietly.
"I can pay, the food there is very cheap-"
"LETS GOOO!!"
Before she could finish, I quickly started running towards the guild.
"THIS IS A RUN!! I WILL WIN!!!"
Amari widened her eyes, and quickly followed behind me.
"IM NOT GONNA LOOSE TO THAT IDIOT!"
Sayuri took a longer time to reason.
"W-WAIT FOR ME!! I-IM HOLDING A STAFF THIS DOESN'T COUNT!"
...
After some hours, we are at one table of the guild's cafetaria, with 2 plates in front of me and Amari. (My plate had considerably more food than hers.)
Amari suddenly said.
"Wait wait, before we eat... You're not gonna eat too? And, you sure this is ok?"
Sayuri was sitting in front of us, with a serious and rigid face.
"Don't worry, i already lunched... And uh, the food here is really cheap plus i have money so..."
"DAMN THIS STEAK IS DELICIOUS!!"
Amari slowly looked at me.
"HE'S ALREADY EATING!! YOU SHOULD AT LEAST SAY THANKS!"
"Oh..."
I gave Sayuri a thumbs up.
"Thanks."
And quickly return to eating.
Sayuri gave a proud smile, and made a thumbs up too.
"No problem!... Hey girl, are you sure you're only going to eat that? You can order more if you want..."
Amari sighed.
"Thanks but, to maintain this body, you can't eat too much..."
"Oh i see..."
Amari then, slowly cut a bit of fish, and put it in her mouth
She instantly wide opened her eyes.
"OH SHIT!! I FORGOT THAT I DON'T EAT GOOD FOOD MAKES A WEEK!! SORRY SAYURI, IM ASKING FOR MORE!!!"
Sayuri giggled seeing Amari quickly standing up and running to the counter.
So, there was only me and Sayuri on the table.
I stopped eating for a moment, looked at her, returned eating and then said.
"So uh, whats your name?"
"I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU MULTIPLE TIMES!!!"
Some time later, Amari was done eating.
"Ahhh, this was sooooo good... D-DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH?!"
I was still eating.
"Its just the 4th plate..."
Goddamn, I didn't have lunch today, can't I have lunch in peace?!
Amari sighed crossing her arms, then looked at Sayuri with a tired smile.
"He's gonna make you poor... So uh, Sayuri, i wanted to ask you somethings..."
"Go on."
"First, you're a Suicider right?"
Sayuri gave a glare at her.
"Of course i am! Thats how i make money."
"Ok ok... And uh, you're quite strong right?"
Sayuri put on hand on her chest, saying with all condifence she had.
"Of course! Because im gonna be the best wizard in the entire world!"
Amari nodded, crossing her legs.
"Ok ok... Then uh, to join us, you really had no choice, right? I mean, you're pretty strong so why did you decide to join a group like ours?"
Sayuri stopped looking proud, and looked down, with a somewhat sad expression.
"I've been in several groups before... several, many indeed, but the same thing always happens..."
She looked more and more sad, speaking softly.
"After some time, I always got kicked out of the group... No matter what I do, in the end they don't allow me to belong anymore... So, it kind of doesn't matter anymore if it's a group of weak or strong, it's all the same..."
"And, why were you expelled?"
Sayuri simply replied to Amari.
"You'll find out soon..."
Amari freezed for a second, and whispered on my hear.
"Hey Kai, she might be trouble... There's something she is not gonna tell us..."
I whispered back, more focused on the now fish.
"You think so?... so..."
I said out lout to Sayuri.
"Are you a bad person?"
She quickly replied.
"No of course."
I took a quick smile at Amari and return eating.
"She's good hehe."
Amari was speechless.
"T-Thats not how it works..."
suddenly, Sayuri she stood up, standing in front of us, and said in a very... "strong" way.
"But promisse something! There's one thing that you will not be able to get in my way, you cannot become a dead weight for me, in my dream of becoming the GREATEST WIZARD IN THE WORLD!!!"
Hearing that, i abruptly stood up too, slamming my hands on the table and screaming with all my might as loud as I could, looking at her eyes.
"Of course i won't! Im gonna become stronger and stronger, because im gonna be THE EMPEROR OF THE WORLD!!!"
These words echoed throughout the guild, reaching the ears of everyone present.
Sayuri opened her mouth in suprise, but before she could react.
"HAHAHHAHAHAHA!!"
Everyone on the guild was laughing.
"EMPEROR OF THE WORLD?! THE SIX STAR MISSION?! HAHAHAHA!!"
Several words like that were said by the Suiciders around us.
"WHO HE THINK HE IS?!" "WAIT, ISN'T THAT GUY WHO IS NOT EVEN A SUICIDER YET?! AND HE WANTS TO BE THE EMPEROR OF THE WORLD?! HAHAHAHA"
I was a lot irritated hearing these words and the laughter of everyone around us, turning myself to leave the table.
"W-WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING ABOUT!? COME HERE IF YOU REALLY HAVE GUTS YOU BASTARDS!!"
So, I left my table and went to pick a fight with everyone who was laughing at me.
So everyone i guess.
Seeing me leaving the table, Amari tried to stop me but it was too late.
"No Kai wait!..."
Tried to hold my hand, but I had already gone.
She sighed, leaning back in her chair.
"Oh lord this kid...vTestosterone is up to date..."
She opened her eyes, and saw Sayuri with a smile of something of admiration, respect or confidence.
"Uh, whats wrong Sayuri?"
She adjusted her hat on her head.
"Nothing... It's just, who am I to judge him..."
Hearing that, Amari gave a happy smile to Sayuri.
Sayuri then scratched her hat.
"Wait so uh, and whats your goal?"
"Oh mine? Well uh, what Kai pretends to do with the Crown, also benefits me."
"Oh, what it is?"
I think Amari didn't mind telling Sayuri, but there was no way to explain it, or there was no point in complicating things.
So she just smirked and said.
"You'll find out soon..."
Sayuri quickly stood up again.
"I HATE WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT!"
"LOOKS WHO'S TALKING!!"
And after some hours, already night, we were walking on the streets.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO TRY TO FIGHT AN ENTIRE GUILD ALONE!!"
I was completely injured, walking with immense difficulty.
"S-Sorry... Amari, could you give me a massage?"
"NO WAY!!"
I sighed. Damn it hurts so much actually.
Amari calmed down, and looked ahead.
"So, where we sleeping today? Hey Sayuri!"
She looked at her quite excited.
"You have a mansion right?! We can sleep there?! Oh lord, It's been a while since I slept in a bed-"
"IM NOT RICH!! YOU'RE ASKING A LOT OF ME, DON'T YOU THINK?"
"Sorry, sorry... But then uh, how we sleeping tonight?"
Sayuri suddenly stopped, making a dramatic pose, and speaking very loudly, as if it were a mega important announcement.
"Don't you worry my comrades, I, Sayuri of last name which uh, i-is u-unknown! I have the solution!"
She then just put on hand on beneath her hat,and took out a bag.
"I bought 3 sleeping bags at the guild! Let's make camp and sleep in the forest!!"
...
"Its not that deep."
She quickly became angry at me.
"S-SHUT UP! B-BETTER THAN SLEEPING IN THE GROUND!"
Amari simply said.
"Loli."
This triggered Sayuri even more.
"W-WHAT DID YOU JUST SA-"
Amari kept talking like if nothing happened.
"Ok ok, lets just walk to the forest now."
"N-NO WAIT, MIND REPEATING THA-"
I, he said in a very pained voice.
"Oh damn, i forgot to cover one wound... Hey Sayuri, can you lend me a bandage?"
"O-Of course not!"
Then Amari said in a voice of interested.
"Yo by the way, Sayuri, why you have so many bandages on your body?"
"Oh this? My dad hits me."
Amari and I screamed right away.
"W-WHAT?!"
"No just kidding. Because it looks cool."
Amari felt a tremendous sense of relief in her body.
"Oh my, don't scare me like th-"
"That's still stupid."
Just by saying this simply words, for some reason, they stared at me as if I had said the greatest atrocity in history.
Amari said.
"W-What did yo-"
"Im wrong?! Using all those bandages just looks stupid and not cool!"
Amari took a look at Sayuri, then looked back at me.
"Actually... I. Think youre right."
"Ha! Like if you 2 would understand anything about being cool"
"Why did you wanted my neck gaiter anyway?"
She seemed worried.
"N-No, that doesn't mean anything! And it wasn't yours, it w-"
Amari analyzed everything quickly.
"Wait a second. Sayuri wanted a black neck gaiter because it looked cool, and Kai is always wearing one of those! So that means... YOU THINK KAI IS COOL!!"
Sayuri looked very nervous, shaking and starting to sweat.
"W-What?! NO! T-THAT WAS JUST A MERE COINCIDENCE!! I-I I-I uhm..."
She, extremely embarrassed, aprubtly grabbed her staff and pointed it up, shouting.
"KA..."
From the tip of her staff, a white ball, fullvof sparks began to form.
The air suddenly began to change around us, our hair began to fly and our clothes began to move.
In the sky above us, the clouds began to move rapidly, and incredibly, they slowly began to descend in a funnel towards Sayuri's staff.
Amari looked quite scared at that thing that was forming.
She stuttered.
"H-Hey Hey... Sayuri, WHATS GOING ON?!"
I, in turn, looked at it with passionate eyes.
"WOW THATS REALLY COOL!!"
It was indeed, cool.
Seeing the sky gather and deform above us, heading towards Sayuri's staff.
Her staff forming a bright white ball, full of sparks.
And she was just thrre, embarrassed and angry in the center, controlling it all.
How can that not be cool!?
"I WANT TO SEE WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN! HEY, SAYURI! GO ON! I WANT TO SEE IT!!"
Amari suddenly grabbed my chest by behind, and tried to take me out with her.
"K-KAI NO! SHE IS GOING TO KILL US! BUAAAAAAAHHHH!"
She was almost crying, coward.
"NO! I NEED TO SEE IT!!"
"YOU WANT, BUT YOU DON'T NEED! OUR LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT!!"
"NO, I NEED TO SEE!! STOP TRYING TO HOLD ME!"
"AT LEAST LOOK FROM FAR AWAY, YOU'RE TOO CLOSE HERE!!"
"HECK NO! IT WOULDN'T BE SO FUNNY THAT WAY!"
She was already just mourning.
"Whaaaaaa.... WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU..."
And then, Sayuri looked at us with a face of "oh fuck".
"O-OH NO! G-GUYS SORRY, I-I I COULDN'T CONTROL MYSELF!"
Amari yelled back, clinging to me.
"NOW IS TO LATE!! WERE GONNA DIE!!"
I gave Sayuri a big smile.
"GO ON WIZARD! SHOW ME THAT!!"
"NO DON'T TH-"
Sayuri interrupted us both.
"T-This is literally my most powerful attack!"
Amari lost even more hope.
"S-SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T HELP AT ALL!"
"THANK GOD! THAT'S COOL SAYURI!-"
Amari shouted angry at me.
"I KNEW YOU WOULD SAY THAT!!"
Sayuri there, seemed to be having a hard time.
"G-GUYS, I WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD ON FOR MUCH LONGER!! THE CLOUDS HAVE ALREADY CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE BALL ON THE STAFF, AND NOW IS EVRN COVERED BY IT! SOON ENOUGH, I WILL HAVE NO CHOICE!!"
"YAY! SHOW US YO-"
"Where should i aim?"
Oh, she can aim where she shots that... Why am I kind of disappointed about this?
Amari screamed in relief.
"OH THANKS LORD! JUST SHOOT ANY DISTANT LOCATION!! IT CAN BE IN THE FOREST WHATEVER!"
"No, shoot in me-"
Amari gave me a "friendly punch".
"SHUT UP!!"
I think she was right this time
But Sayuri didn't shoot, in fact hes body started to shake even more and make more noise.
"No! THE FOREST ITS THE WORST LOCATION!"
"What? WHY!? JUST SHOOT IT SOMEWHERE ELSE THEN!!"
Remembering that we are in the middle of the city street, the forest is a little to the right (where Sayuri was pointing the staff).
"OK!"
Sayuri stopped shaking, looked back confidently, also pointing her staff there.
"KATCHAU!!!"
And Boom, she released all that accumulated energy in the form of... THUNDERS!
Lots and lots of thunders appeared on the place she aimed for.
They continued to appear, descending from the sky and landing on the ground very quickly.
I looked at it with amazed eyes, it was extremely beautiful to see.
"Wow?.. that is... SO COOL!!"
Amari, who was holding onto me, let me go and also started to appreciate that beauty.
"Wow, i gotta say... its majestic!"
And after a few seconds, the thunders finally stopped.
Amari and I just started clapping.
"Wow wow, that was really nice!"
"Yeah yeah, totally worth it."
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" "I WAS HAVING DINNER!!" "NO! MY PRECIOUS MISSION!!" "I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP!"
We heard a lot of people screaming things like that far away from us.
Amari said confused.
"Uh? I thought at night everything was closed at this time..."
She started to think.
"Wait a second... She shot to behind, which is where we came from... Don't tell me she hit the-"
"YOU TRIED TO DESTROY THE GUILD!?" "THAT THING IS OBVIOUSLY RESISTANT TO THAT!"
"Oh now... SHE SHOOT THE GUILD!!!"
And so, a lot of Suiciders appeared, chasing us.
They were extremely angry, it seems like we interrupted some kind of party or something.
"COME BACK HERE!!"
Seeing them coming from far, Amari quickly went desperate.
"OH NO!! WE NEED TO RUN TO THE FOREST!! RUN!!!"
I didn't have any special feelings at first, but after remembering who was in the guild, my heart filled up with hate.
"OH THAT BASTARDS!! I WILL P-"
Amari suddenly grabbed me by the neck gaiter.
"DON'T YOU DARE! YOU'RE ALL HURT BECAUSE OF THA!!"
I tried to make her let me go.
"AHHH STOP THAT! I WILL-"
Then, before i could finished, Amari noticed something.
"S-Sayuri... WHAT ARE DOING JUST RESTING ON THE GROUND?!"
She was literally just there, lying on the floor with the staff by her side, as if it were nothing.
"Hm... Like, this attack is so powerful, that consumes all my Sankalpa, so I can't use literally move for some hours after using it..."
Is she joking?!
Amari, seeing that we were out of time as the Suiciders were getting closer and closer, after the initial shock, quickly began to run towards the forest.
"KAI! TAKE HER WITH YOU!"
"WHAT?! I'M SO HURT! AND I-"
She simply yelled.
"You're younger than me!!"
"WHAT KIND OF ARGUMENT IS THAT!"
I sighed, seeing there was no choice.
"SAYURI! HOLD UP!!!"
I ran to her, quickly placing her in my arms like a baby, one arm on her back and the other in the neck, grabbing her in front of me.
"HEY PUT ME ON YOUR BACK!!"
"DON'T YOU COMPLAI-"
"I always wanted piggyback."
...
"I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS!!"
I just started to run forward to the forest.
"YOU FORGOT THE STAFF!!"
"AHHHHH!"
I went back a few meters and took her staff. A bit away from us, I could see the various Suiciders, they were already much closer.
"I GOTTA RUN!!"
So I started running with her on my hands.
I was pretty hurt from what happened earlier, but I still had to carry this girl.
Well, she's not that heavy to be honest, maybe the staff is more than her honestly, but I think she felt a little guilty.
She looked at my eyes, then blushed and looked at the side.
"H-Hey... sorry for this..."
"I am so angry with you! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED!"
"I ALREADY SAID SORR-"
"UH? NO I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS, BUT... WHY THE HECK IS THE NAME OF THIS COOL ATTACK, KATCHAU!?"
She was shocked for a bit, but quickly got angry with me.
"AH?! I CHOOSED THE BEST POSSIBLE NAME FOR MY ATTACKS!"
"YOU MEAN: BIUM, PITCHIU, KATCHAU!? WHAT KIND OF NAMES IS THAT!?"
She simply said
"Its cute i guess."
"BUT IS SUPOSSED TO BE COOL!!"
And so, after what seemed to be an eternity, we lost them.
At this point we found ourselves around a lit campfire, with our sleeping bags already set up and lying in them.
I can't move anymore, I'm extremely tired and exhausted, I just want to sleep.
Same for Sayuri.
As for Amari...
"WHY DID YOU JUST RUN AWAY YOU COWARD!"
She was caught of guard.
"H-HUHN? YOU WERE CLOSER TO HER! PLUS, i was scared :)"
"Y-YOU..."
I was ready to direct a lot of insults, but I thought better of it and honestly I don't have the patience for it anymore, I'm just very sleepy.
Sayuri, with her back to the two of us, said.
"But hey guys... I know you are just 2 idiots but, it was fun."
I could see in the distance, a cute, red smile on her face.
Amari giggled.
"Really? Like what?"
"The whole day... Just that... Was fun to meet you."
I abruptly said.
"Would be funnier if you used good names on your attacks!"
She got angry with me.
"How can you not understand?! It's the sound that the attacks make when they come out of the staff! Bium, short and fast, Pitchiu, fire and destructive, Katchau is the sound of thunder! Onomatopoeias!"
To my surprise, Amari said.
"To be honest, the Pitchiu one, the fire one, doesn't make much sense..."
"Ha! Even she agrees with me!"
"I DID NOT SAID THAT!"
Sayuri simply sighed in anger, calming down.
"Yeah, whatever... If i had a water attack, it name would be Tun Tun, because its like the waves... Wow, that is really a good idea!"
"NO IS NOT!!! THAT NAME SUCKS LIKE THE OTHER ONES! I WILL DECIDE THE NAME OF YOUR NEXT ATTACK!!!"
"AH?! NO WAY! I WOULD NEVER ALLOW THAT!"
Amari laughed seeing me and Sayuri arguing for a bit, but then she asked Sayuri a question.
"Hey Sayuri, you're a Suicider right?"
This stopped our "battle".
"Hm yeah of course..."
She started to talk again in an epic way.
"I, Sayuri, am a Suicider and a wizard! Not just a random wizard, but the o-"
Amari simply spoke over her.
"So, Kai and I tried to sign up yesterday to become Suiciders, but they wouldn't let us..."
Sayuri stopped complaining about Amari interrupting her, and became interested in the subject.
"Wait for real? I've never heard of anyone being rejected..."
"Yeah but they rejected us... They said that we needed to show, some level of some thing called-"
"Sankalpa."
I interrupted her.
"I-I WAS GOING TO SAY IT!!"
"Yeah but I remembered first so I said it"
"BUT I REMEMBERED IT! YOU BRA-"
Sayuri suddenly said with a scared voice.
"W-Wait you... don't know what it is?..."
"Hm, no..."
Sayuri yelled.
"AHHHHH! HELP!!! SPIES! THEY GOT ME! NOO! AND CAN'T MOVE! N-"
Amari shouted, silencing her.
"HEY! WHAT'S SO WRONG ABOUT IT!? HOW IS EVR-"
"Oh wait, you are very weak, you can't be a spy."
I think that was an insult directed at me.
"UH? I CAN B-"
Amari gave me one more "friendly punch".
"Can you please, explain to what that is? AND WHY NOBODY WANTS TO TELL US ABOUT IT!?"
Sayuri sighed.
"Alright... I assume you've recently arrived in Beatitudo, and you've come to stay right?"
Me and Amari looked at each other.
"Well, actually were from another worl-"
Amari gave me another friendly punch.
I'm going to die of friendship soon...
"Yeah, we can say that..."
Sayuri continued.
"Weird, because Beatitudo is an extremely closed city, which does not allow foreigners to enter under basically any conditions..."
Amari looked nervous at me, but I didn't care, there was nothing she could do lol.
But before we could speak, she said.
"But i don't care, everyone has their secrets right?..."
Amari smirked nervous
"Y-Yeah yeah, sure..."
Thinking about it now, wouldn't it be better to tell her that we're from another world? That way everything would make sense, I don't understand why Amari doesn't want to.
Well, maybe if a new student at my school simply said he was from another world and didn't know anything about this one, I would think he was crazy... That must be what she thinks she'll think of us.
Sayuri kept talking.
"So, Sankalpa is something that is taught in schools exclusively to the children of Beatitudo, so everyone in the city knows about it. Therefore, when someone shows up in the city who doesn't know what Sankalpa is, it is very likely that he is a spy from another country. Since Pseudo has bad relations with other countries, and the only people who enter Beatitudo are authorized people, usually politicians or something like that, and even then they don't learn about Sankalpa, with the exception of the royal family of course. Furthermore, no one leaves the walls of Beatitudo without authorization and it has to be for really important reasons, tourism doesn't count. In short, only the inhabitants of Beatitudo and the royal family know about its existence, if someone doesn't know and its in our city, it is a spy."
"Hold up, im taking notes."
Im literally writing what she said in a notepad.
Just kidding, im drawing dinossaurs. They are cool.
Sayuri with her back turned, only heard the sound of the pen scribbling on the paper.
"Hm, ok..."
Amari then said.
"But so, what is the Sankalpa?"
"Sankalpa is basically a type of energy that allows you to do several things. For example, I use it to be able to do these staff attacks."
"OH NICE! SO I CAN USE IT TO DO ANYTHING?!"
"No, calm down... There are many types of Sankalpa, classes better said, and each one allows you to use Sankalpa in different ways... Mine is Wizard obviously. Thats why, I, Sayuri, im gonna be the best W-"
Amari interrupted her.
"Oh thats interesting... And, why its necessary to be a Suicider?"
"OH, LET ME END THAT PHRASE ONE TIME!...Well, the monsters are usually very weakened by Sankalpa, but the main reason is the spies... There are several who want to be Suiciders to steal information, and find out how Beatitudo stands out so much from the other cities in the Suiciders' camp, it turns out that it's because of Sankalpa, the monsters are susceptible to it, but the ones from the other cities don't know about it, so they have more difficulty than ours."
Amari nodded.
"Alright, keep going..."
"Hm, Well, I think that's basically it, the rest has to be demonstrated in practice. But well, you can use it for healing, magic, explosions, tornadoes, medicine etc. Even things outside the Suiciders business, it all depends on what class you are in."
Amari nodded again.
"Hm, i see i see... So like, the support class allows me to use Sankalpa to heal others, the Wizard class allows me to cast magic on others, and so on?"
"Yeah, kinda like that, although the names are wrong, and it is extremely more complex than that... Like, the class is just the way you use Sankalpa, everything else, including how you use it, depends entirely on you... Oh and uh, One thing I remembered now, Sankalpa is charged with the emotion of determination. For example, a punch imbued with Sankalpa does x damage, already considerably better than a normal punch, but a Sankalpa punch in which a person is extremely determined can scale almost infinitely."
Amari nodded again.
"Hm hm, ok, and s-"
I interrupted her, throwing that notepad away. It got annoying.
"And the most important thing! HOW TO GET THAT!?"
"Oh well, you need to receive a direct touch from pure Sankalpa, simply as that. Usually given by someone who has already mastered it."
"Oh, THEN DO THAT WITH ME!"
"You idiot, i can't move!"
I started to approach her.
"That's not a problem! I can touch you, then you send that thing to my body! Super Jump!"
I jumped and landed on top of her.
She quickly blushed and yelled.
"W-WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
"Ah? Whats wrong?! Just give that Sankalpa thing! Oh wait, i need to touch you right? No problem!"
I started to enter the her sleeping bed.
"U-Uh? N-NO GET OUT! I-I can only use Sankalpa conjured by my staff!"
"Ah stop being boring, just give me it!"
"A-Ah, y-you touching me! G-GET OUTTTTTT..."
Next day, we were already at the guild. Luckily, no one recognized us from last night.
"Yo Mana! Its me again hahah!"
She was definitely not happy to see me.
"...You... Get o-"
Sayuri walked in front of me.
"Miss, i think there was a misunderstanding!"
Mana widened her eyes.
"Oh, Suicider Sayuri, nice to see you here..."
These words were like a compliment to her, and she felt extremely flattered.
"Ha, everybody likes to see me right?"
Amari said quietly.
"I think she says that to literally everybody."
Sayuri shook himself, recomposing himself.
"Y-Yeah yeha yeah... B-But she says to me in a different way!... So uhm, these guys are my companions, they have and know about Sankalpa."
Mana looked kinda confused.
"Uh? You sure Sayuri? These guys yesterday they didn't seem to know anything..."
Amari whispered on my ear.
"Hey Kai, you think that she listened to our insults yesterday?..."
"Oh, she didn't? Well then, you bat-"
"NO DON'T SAY IT!"
Sayuri then approached us.
"Well, she asked to show her."
I smiled.
"Hehe, no problem!"
Amari and I approached Mana's counter.
We simply opened our hands and short black rays began to come out of both of them - Sankalpa.
"Oh well, its true! Sorry for yesterday, I'll prepare your cards now, wait a bit. Oh, if you want you can reveal your attributes and class on that machine. I'll be right back."
Amari whispered on my ear.
"Yeah. She definitely didn't hear us yesterday. Good thing... Yeah thats a good thing!"
The machine was that black sphere with a black control panel from yesterday. Now everything makes sense.
I laughed, finally i can start persuing my goal.
"Hehehe... I AM A SUICIDER!!"
"That out context sounds weird..."
But then, suddenly Mana reappeared on the counter.
"Oh, Sayuri, i wanted to tell you something..."
She quickly listened it, and walked proudly to where Mana was.
"Oh really? Go on, im all ears..."
"Im really happy to see you hanging around kids of your age, my congratulations!"
She said that with the most gentle smile ever.
Sayuri got confused.
"Uh? My age? They are older than me... Just a bit tho! JUST A BIT!"
Now Mana was confused.
"Ah? But i thought that little boy was also 1-"
"I AM 16!!!"
Amari simply said.
"Loli."
Sayuri:
-"S-STOP CALLING ME THAT!!!"
