Chapter I - The Kingdom Of Asgaronia

-Beginning

A young lad with brown hair was sitting on top of a tower, he was an adventurer from a different town...

He stood up to see the whole kingdom.

"This place is utterly amazing!"

He looked left and right checking out the beautiful view from the center tower.

"Kingdom of Asgaronia, the sacred place where the three gods have settled... This place is indeed very beautiful despite the busy crowd"

He jumped down the tower landing peacefully, he was not an ordinary adventurer. He was a wielder.

...‐--...

This young man's name is Kogane Tengoku, a weilder from a small town. He's currently staying at the kingdom to participate on a ceratin event.

The event that may grant your wish to become a more capable weilder.

The Theo of Weilders, an event where the higher ups will select independent people that could help increase the fame of the kingdoms.

It was a competition for the influential kingdoms to see who was the most almighty of them all. Yet, they all gave the small cities and towns a chance to recommend a participant for the up coming event.

Lucky enough for him, he was selected to become the participant for the event, along with two people to work as a group.

A group where three people will work as a team to create a poweful teamwork that'll provide collective strength and staying power to shoulder each other when in need.

And this young lad is now currently trying to find his teammates, But will he be able find them?

...

"I'M LOSSSTTTT!!!"

As expected...

*sigh* "What am I gonna do now? The twins will kill me if I come late!"

He looked around the place where he was, there were a lot of creatures and people around the area. It wouldn't be easy to find two people on the whole crowd.

"I should start finding a bar or a restaurant around here..."

The young lad ran around the area to find the nearest shop on the northern boundary of the kingdom.

Fortunately, he found a bar that had a number of people inside, he thought that his other teammates might also be there.

He went infront of the bar not knowing anything.

The door was wide open for anyone to go in, he looked inside and saw other people. They were also wielders, and were the one's that they'll soon be competing with.

They looked frightening, as he stood at the front door frozen from shock.

He knew that they had abilities that are definitely strong.

Standing there frozen, two people were about to enter while they noticed the man standing on the front door.

"Huh..? Ko? Why are you just standing there?"

"Eh? That's odd... Ko have never showed up early on a meeting place, plus how did he find his way?"

The brown-haired lad looked at the people behind him.

"Wilson? Alison? What are you guys doing here?"

Both of them sighed, this boy would be completely helpless without the twins.

"Idiot this is the meeting place that captain told us!"

The lass scolded the young brunet, not noticing the people who're about to enter.

"Oi kiddos, Move aside, You're blocking the way"

"Eh? Oh! Sorry..."

The young wielders bowed for forgiveness and entered the place.

The tall man who had a masculine body, noticed that the three entered the bar where the wielder's meeting will be held.

"Huh? Oi why are you entering? Aren't you guys too young to be wielders? Pfft..."

The three ignored the comment of the bald man and continued to talk with each other, making their way to an empty seat.

"Tsk, these brats!"

The man went to their seat smacking his hand on the table.

"Oi oi! Didn't you hear me? Your too young to be wielders"

The woman from their group faced the taller man.

"We're not young, or are you implying that we are too weak to become wielders just because we live on a small town unlike the most of you?"

She looked at him with contempt.

"Tsk, what else? You're just some weaklings who just got picked by your 'elders', HAHAHA!"

The man laughed aloud making everyone take notice of them.

"You talk like a kid for an old man, you know?"

The man got pissed by the statement of the girl, he bent down to look closely at the young lass.

"Why not take a look at you little girl? You want dolls? Ice cream?"

The girl had enough, she was about to beat the man that stood infront of her. Even so, her brother stood up and held her sister's shoulder.

"Alison, don't bother anymore"

The lass looked at the person beside her, Realizing what her brother was trying to tell her.

He shook his head telling her to refrain herself from creating more drama. The young lass knew that she's incapable of doing anything right now.

They both moved away from the man and sat back on their seat.

"Huh? Are you backing down little girl?"

Although, Alison was quite pissed. She only looked back at him with a bright smile and answered.

"I won't back down mister! And Yes, I do want ice cream..."

She changed her expression.

"...though we should both be prepared to meet again on the selections... and see who among the two of us is going to lose..."

"Hmph!... Sure 'brave' little girl, just wait and see...."

The man walked away with a smirk on his face, along with two people.

Everyone saw what happened and started chatting about it. It was some juicy drama that they saw, and who wouldn't talk about some good tea?

...---...

The three masculine men sat on an empty table.

"Ye Boss, those are tha wielders from the small town of Ravaryn'. The one that ye had a chat with is one of the twins, that lass name's Alison Primavera and tha other' was her brotha Wilson Primavera"

"Heh... I see, they even dared to make me look like a fool infront of other people, just wait and see what kind of revenge we'll do to make 'em suffer"

...---...

"Tsk! Hmphhhhh! What an old man! You shouldn't have stopped me Wilson, I was about to destroy that bastard's face!!"

A young lass was heating up because of her anger towards someone, she was very furious.

Both of the young men looked at each other while her brother patted her head.

"Calm down sis, and if I didn't you could've destroyed us too..."

The other lad shrugged his shoulders.

"I agree with Wil, but umm... are we, not gonna talk about how everyone feels like their staring at us?"

The brunet said to them in an awkward way, he felt uneasy with people staring.

"And where are the advisors?! Its already past noon and we haven't even started the meeting yet!"

A man sat beside them and placed his hands around the brown-haired boy's shoulder who was feeling uneasy.

"Yeah right? Its like they're so late!"

"Yeah..! Wait-"

The brunet got shocked and moved away from the person making him lean on the wall.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" The brunet asked feeling uncomfortable because of the odd man that randomly sat beside him.

"Yeah, who are you? Why did you suddenly sit on our table...?"

The whole group looked at the odd man who sat with them out of no where.

"Hmm? Oh sorry! I forgot to introduce my self, I'm Lucas and I'm from the seat on the third row! My teammates were kinda boring so I sat on different tables, Heh"

He scratched his head and smiled at them brightly, he was definitely an energetic person.

"And..? Why did you seat with us?"

The twins asked at the same time.

"Its because your team looks interesting to chat with, and I'd like to get to know you guys" He again placed his hands around the brunet who was leaning beside the wall, trying to avoid the odd lad.

"Well, My name's Wilson and this person beside me is Alison, were twins" The other lad introduced them selves waiting for the brown-haired man to introduce himself.

The man got a little impatient, so he looked at the brunet and asked.

"Would you mind introducing yourself to me little acorn?"

The three looked at him with wide eyes, as they turned their heads at each other.

"Who did you just call little acorn?" The young lass asked with a curious face.

"Oh! I was pointing at this person beside me, cause you guys have already introduced yourselves"

The twins looked at each other, as they both close their eyes preparing to burst out.

"Pfft... HAHAHAHA!!" They both laughed with tears of joy.

"Haha! Pfft... That's not what we meant but ok, Ahaha!"

Suddenly an aura around the table felt cold as if they were inside an ice, Someone was giving the twins a death stare, while the innocent young man that sat beside them was a bit confused.

"Umm..."

The man awkwardly looked at the three while the brunet looked at the other man.

"Haha, Nevermind these idiots, Well my name's Kogane Tori, Nice to meet you"

He offered his hand for a handshake, while the other accepted the offer with a smile on his face.

The three looked at the odd person with awkward eyes, the young lad was still holding the brunet's hand.

"Haha, uhh... Lucas-san... umm.. can you let go of my hand now..?"

The young man got surprised and quickly released the brunet's hand.

"Oh! Sorry I kinda got carried away"

"Yes, now you little idiot will come back to our seat" A man that had pitch black hair with a deep voice interfered with their conversation, as he held the other lad's neckline ready to drag him to their table.

"Eh!? Kaze?! I thought you wouldn't interfere with me chatting with other people?" The lad looked at the person who was gripping tightly on his neckline.

"The advisors are about the come knucklehead, or do you expect me to leave you behind?"

"Oh! Haha... " The lad scratched his head in an awkward way.

"If you wouldn't mind us, we'll be going now, And forgive us for bothering you" The long-haired man bowed at the three.

"Oh no, it's fine... Well, see you guys again!" The young lass playfully waved them goodbye along with the two young men.

He stood straight feeling relieved, he looked at the brunet for a second as he started dragging the blond haired boy.

"Kogane-san! Let's meet next time!" The lad spoke while waving goodbye as he was getting dragged by the other man.

...

"Hmm, everyone seem's lively today..."

Someone appeared on the stage of the bar holding something on his hands.

"Good afternoon weilders, Can I get everyone's attention?"

A voice of a man was heard on everyone's mind, They were Sound vibrations though telepathy.

"We'll now conduct the meeting, The preparations for the event are already done, and I'll now explain the rules which are do's and don'ts and what's allowed and what's not..."

"Everyone already knew this but I'll explain it again..." The man said as he looked at the papers he was holding onto.

"Just as you all know, there are four boarders on this kingdom, and those are the North, East, West, and South"

"You guys are the Northern team, All of you will be going against the other three teams on this first round, meaning that you are not allowed to attack your teammate no matter how much you hate them or both of you will be will be disqualified..."

"Being the Northern team also means that you guys will be the first to enter the battle place"

"I'll have you know that you will have to find your own food once you feel hunger"

"Traps and etc. Are planted and the goal to succeed this round is to reach the center tower of the Lithoris forest, It basically looks the same as the tower that we have here at the kingdom, blabla... bla... bla... and yeah more or less no killing, weapons are allowed, familiars are also allowed, but there will be a time limit for them to be summoned"

"And yes this also means that you'll have to bring things to the tower, such as herbs or weapons that you're instructed with..."

The man folded the papers and placed it on his pocket. It wasn't the list of instructions but a paper filled with informations about the Northern weilders.

"And that's all for my explanation, so are there any questions that you'd like to ask?" The man asked the young wielders, as he stood there waiting for someone to speak.

Someone from the back raised their hand.

"Uhh... I have a question sir, how wide is the forest?"

"Lets say... about three thousand or two thousand square kilometer, I'm not sure my self" the instructor shrugged his shoulders.

"That's... pretty wide..."

Some of the weilders looked at each other in disbelief.

The advisor sighed.

"Well this year, there are a lot of participants who wants to join, so the higher ups wanted to give you a place to battle for the first round"

"That aside we'll give you four days to prepare your selves, so make sure to spend your time... and is that all? Well if it is then I'll be heading out now." The instructor sighed and entered the other room as he finished his sentence, leaving the young wielders inside the bar.

"W-wait-... Only Four DAYS?! That's too short!" A person complained.

"Yeah!" Someone agreed while a person interupted as she raised her hand to say something.

"In my opinion four days is enough, if we waited for a long time we'll forget about the event and We'll probably waste our time on random things..." she stated.

"Miss Hailey does have a point, if we wasted our time we wouldn't be able to train or practice" someone agreed as she also defended the statement.

Alison heard them as she sighed "Man, these guys are really serious about this"

She pointed at the people who were talking.

"They are wielders with reputation on different kingdoms, they need to be serious or their kingdom's popularity will fall down like a bridge that got hit by a storm, unlike us who are only adventurers who lives in a peaceful village outside the kingdom" Wilson said as he also sighed, crosing his arms.

"You guys... well if we do win this event we'll be able to help our town, ya know?" He insisted, trying to make the two feel a little determined to battle against other people.

"But can we beat them though?" The other lad pressumed.

"That's a problem..." the lass once again sighed feeling gloomy.

"It may be a problem, but I've got an idea! Hehe" the brunet grinned at them playfully giggling with a wicked scheme that he had thought of.

'Looks like our idiotic comrade already thought of something crazy' the twins looked at each other and giggled, they felt that they had the same feeling.
