The Author Is Speechless

Chapter 20: Farewell

I can finally take off my bandages. It was really hard for me to work with bandages wrapped around my both hands while working. Now if someone asks what are those patterns on my hand, I can just tell them it's a tattoo.

"So, Alberto, it was really nice meeting you at the beginning of my journey . "

Alberto was looking at him silently.

I should give him the things I made for him. It took me 3 days to prepare it. Viktor put his hand inside of his left crest and took out a sword made of blue transparent crystal. It was made from the high-grade mana stone he found in the basement of his house.

"Here. This is your reward for passing my easy level test."

"Easy level?"

Alberto's reaction was priceless.

"Yes. Once you're 19 again, I will come back for the second test. So don't worry. "

Viktor gave him the sword in his hand and he patted his head.

-Such a good boy -_-.

The sword he gave him was purely made of blank mana crystal. Since the stone was empty, he cut it into pieces and made it into thin slices. Putting back all of those slices, he made it into a sword that cuts through anything if the person who's holding the sword put a little amount of mana. It was an S-grade sword that only recognizes its owner and its descendants.

So Alberto can only give this sword to his son or his daughter if he wants to. The sword will not work if someone takes it by force.

"It's so thin and light. Brother, where did you find such a sword?"

He asked him that because its design wasn't something from this planet. It was from Earth in the 2025 anime swords.

"I made it myself. Hehehe!!! What do you think, aren't I the greatest?"

"Stop acting dramatic, you're ruining the mood big brother-_-."

"Ahem Ahem. But listen carefully, this sword's owner is you now. And you can pass it to your generation. Not your brothers.

Use it carefully because it is too powerful. Make good use of it."

He's a good child, so I think he will listen to me.

"Thank you so much, brother. "

Viktor smiled and gave him a locket, it was made of red silver and a black chain.

"It's another gift for you, so cherish it well. "

That time Rae came forward to see what he was doing. He crossed his arms and stood there because they were running late. Viktor looked at him and Rae told him something by telepathy and went back to the room to pick up something.

-He's finally taking a step forward.

"Hey, listen little one. Don't let anyone take away your things from you. Whether it's your things or your goal. Work hard, and make your dreams come true. Don't give up."

Alberto's tears were rolling down his face. He held the sword into his arms tightly and started to cry out loud.

"Don't cry, you dummy. I will be back soon. Make sure to work hard. Don't disappoint me when I get back. Okay?"

"Ye..s brother.."

Rae came out of the room with something in his hand and threw it on Alberto's hand.

"Here, take this. "

Rae said.

He looked at Rae's face and wiped his tears.

"Let's go, Vik, we will be late."

"Take care, Alberto. See you soon."

Both of them cast a spell and their body started to float in the air. It was a spell of Dark Eclipse that Viktor got from the crest on his forehead.

-This skill is really convenient.

Alberto looked at them as they flew so far away. He held his locket around his neck and left something on it. There was something written on it.

'You're my favourite person

Was written on the locket.

His eyes became blurry due to the teardrops in his eyes. He was so sad, so heartbroken that the only person who recognized him as his family just left him for a long time. So he cried.

Cried for so long that it was already morning and his butler came to take him back to his room. Because he fell asleep on the muddy ground there they left him alone.

…

Somewhere outside the Duke's territory.

The huge inn was crowded because it was breakfast time. And all the adventurers came back from their duty because of a public holiday. So it was hard for Viktor and Rae to get some breakfast.

"We barely got a table."

Viktor looked around the busy inn while Rae was selecting what to eat from the menu.

"Yes. I totally forgot that it was a public holiday today. "

"Well, it's a good thing that we found a table. "

"Mm hmm. "

-We're so far from the capital city, but this city doesn't look like one from the rural area at all.

Viktor and Rae came to the city of mines, Crystalia. It has the biggest resources of mana crystal and so many dungeons within miles. So this city is the best place for adventurers to come and raid one.

"So you're here to apply for the adventurers exam?"

Viktor asked Rae who was shoving down his food like an animal.

-Eat like a human you freak -_-.

"Yes, I need to reach the magma level to gain half of my power. "

"Magma level. Isn't that about a thousand feet below the sea level?"

"Yes. In order to fight with the other guardian who banished me from the realm, I need to gain more power."

He's finally coming back to his straight mind. I am finally going to get rid of this freeloader off my shoulder.

Viktor smiled and Rae became speechless at his reaction.

"You're happy that I am leaving you?"

"Ah!! No , no, no. My heart is breaking apart to see my partner is leaving for his journey…"

"-_-. Shut up before I throw this bowl of hot boiling soup on your filthy face."

"Hahahah!! Anyways, don't do anything serious down there. All the adventurers here and personal soldiers of this territory's duke. If you kill one, the duke will send more to kill you and turn you into a wanted person. "

"Tsk!! Those humans!"

-The academy exam is going to be held after 3 months. I have 88 days to visit the other places. So where should I go…

Viktor took out his hand note to check who was next on his list of side-story characters. He checked a whole page full of names and finally at the bottom of the list, he found a nameless person who was nearby.

-So you're my first target.
