MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny

Chapter 31 Train Tanding

We walked the dining room together and like before I came late even very slowly now.

Everyone ate first, I sat down and Marie stood behind me.

"If I remember correctly you haven't had breakfast, right?"

"Right, we waiters would usually have breakfast at dawn but this time it's not."

Marie seemed to be trying hard while talking.

"Then let's eat together and this whole thing is my fault you don't have time to rest."

"No, that's my job."

Because he's so stubborn I looked up at the pope.

"Whales is no problem?"

The pope looked at me then turned to look at Marie, it made Marie bow her head.

"Of course it doesn't matter, Marie please sit down."

"T–Thank you very much."

Without me knowing it turns out all eyes are now on me but I pretend not to see it.

"Are you going to practice today?"

"Yes of course, what's up?"

Marie asked while eating.

"Umm no, it's just that your current condition is making me quite worried."

"Let's just relax I know I'm weak but if I don't practice I won't be able to get stronger."

"Well, wow! there's a wife who's worried about her husband who's so weak."

Daisuke started to mock and his eyes were filled with disgust.

"See?"

"Sorry."

.

.

.

"As I promised you yesterday we're going to do match practice today, now march!"

We once again gathered in the field like yesterday,

"You and you, you and you were there, uh you were yesterday."

Yumei pointed towards me then turned the other way.

"Fight him."

I followed his gaze and it went straight to Daisuke.

I fell silent, he knew that I was the weakest and Daisuke was the strongest but why was I paired with him!?

We are both facing each other now.

We were equipped with a sword and leather armor.

"Hey! what's rule?"

Daisuke asked.

"Rules? Hmmm is prohibited from killing, it is forbidden to give permanent wounds such as cutting body parts, and, it can be reassembled but that doesn't mean you don't feel any pain and I'm afraid you'll experience the rest of the trauma do as you please and show all your strength."

"Haha then I'll hold back."

I prepared my sword.

"You are."

I tried to drain my entire body of mana to strengthen my physical strength but my body was getting sicker.

It feels like it will explode at any moment.

"Buckoo! haah haah."

Without me knowing the sweat had started to wet my clothes.

"Hahaha scared to the point of sweating like that!?"

"Mr Hiro told me you didn't have to practice!"

I looked towards Marie but she was held back by Yumei.

"Let it explode now don't hold it! take it out or it'll damage your body."

How do!?

I just screamed in my heart.

"Just swing your sword while draining all the mana into it and the duar let it explode!"

Yumei kept shouting forcing me to attack.

"Aarr!!"

.

.

.

Yumei watched the fight from the corner of the field to make it easier for her to see all the heroes so she had to shout if she wanted to talk.

Excessive magic power, His body was too fragile to bear such a huge magic right now.

Hiro shouted as he swung his sword with all his might and created an extremely powerful mana explosion that forced the other students to stop due to the pressure.

As his sword swung it created an explosion and dust flew everywhere.

My guess is right, this kid is the hero.

When the dust disappeared there Daisuke was lying on the ground and Hiro sat down while sticking his sword on the ground.

"Haah haah."

Marie who had been standing in the back was running into the field.

"Sir hiro you're okay!?"

"That feels a little better."

I've decided what kind of training is appropriate for our hero.

"You rest first and the others don't stop continuing to practice!"

The astonished student from earlier found his composure and started to continue the practice.

.

.

.

I sat on the side of the field with Marie.

I looked at my status and there was no change.

"How's your body, Mr Hiro?"

"There's no need to use the word master, I'm good enough now."

"Understand, but I'm surprised that you're so strong."

"Haha strong well I'm not sure."

"You're right, ever since I was a kid I've always dreamed of being a hero and that's happening now so I have to move on and be a real hero."

As we spoke Yumei came.

"How's your body doing?"

"Thanks to you I've been feeling pretty good."

"Good, stand up I'll be your opponent."

"Excuse me?"

Before I was ready Yumei directly swung her wooden sword at me, I held her back but it knocked me a few meters back.

"I'll be your practice opponent this time."

I raised my sword and attacked Yumei but I stumbled over the rock that Yumei kicked.

"Your running is too stiff and unbalanced."

I stood up and swung my sword.

"You swing the sword very unstable, your pedestal is wrong, your leg position should also not be like that and you are too self-limiting, let the sword control your body and it will strengthen your sword swing."

I kept attacking but Yumei kept beating me and gave correction.

"Damn!"

"Don't lose your composure while fighting, I told you that the way you swing the sword is wrong and what is that useless style!? where did you learn from? your teacher must be so bad!"

He's right I only have experience based on the anime I saw and put it into practice.

"It's enough to get here and you don't heal him."

He looked at Marie who wanted to walk towards me.

"Everything's gathered!"

I've been battered now and a lot of bruises all over my body not to mention the scratches he made.

"After seeing this I feel that all of you do not have any abilities and only have great strength, it will get you killed while fighting a high-level demon. So I decided! starting tomorrow and over the next month we'll focus on practicing your technique."

Everyone immediately looked at me and began to creep.

"Everything can go! you can walk the streets of the city or stay here as much as you but don't forget to bring at least one waiter with you so as not to get lost."

.

.

.

All my friends started going around as I intended to go back to Yumei's room to hold me.

"Your name is Hiro, right? starting tomorrow in the morning you must practice a match with me."

"Right, he meant to practice a match like that?"

I just asked to keep watch.

"No, I want you to bring out the mana that's rampaging inside your body. It's still very unstable because you haven't been able to control it so for now it's better to keep it from overflowing, well according to my estimation we should do it on a month-long basis."

"Thank you for helping me out."

"Haha don't think about it, alright then see you."

"See you."

.

.

.

I'm so tired I want to take a shower and go to bed now.

I went back to the room and immediately took a shower, the moment after changing Maire's clothes came in.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you want to walk the streets of the city?"

"It seems like a good idea."

I changed my plans because Marie would be so bored if she kept me in my room.

"I'll show you the way!"

.

.

.

Since arriving in this world I always stay in the church because I always feel dizzy but now it's better so it's good I go out for a while.

Currently we were walking the street in the trading district with Marie as the guide.

I was very surprised after seeing all this because there were many foods and objects that looked similar to those in my world.

I'm currently eating at a ramen restaurant at a place Marie recommends.

"It's so great so many foods look the same as the ones in my world."

"That's because hero summoning has been done for more than 10,000 years so many heroes are called into this world and sometimes they will apply their knowledge and become what they are today, One of the holy knights also came from another world."

"You mean Yumei is a hero like me?"

"It's not like that, what I'm talking about is his ancestor. therefore the evenlope family has always been hero instructors because they also have the same background and make it easier for them to understand each other and it will make the hero feel comfortable to live in this world."

"Hehh like many things that have happened in the past, but why has the demon lord not been defeated?"

"Because the demon lord never went to war and only sent his troops in holy war."

"And even if the demon lord is defeated they will have a successor that will replace them in the future."

"So if we want to kill the demon king in full first we have to kill his successor then kill the real demon king so that no one inherits his power well."

"I guess it was like that, but it wasn't easy because the Demon King was a monster stronger than the holy knight let alone now there were rumors that the demon emperor had risen."

"If the demon lord alone was that strong what about the demon emperor?"

"This is just a myth but according to the old story, in the past the demon emperor once destroyed mankind and demons alone but was stopped by the first emperor."

"They sound very strong."

"Well even based on the story of these two people so powerful that they could destroy the world, therefore they fell asleep in eternal sleep for 10,000 years when the great war ended, Since the first emperor really existed, there was a possibility of a demon emperor as well."

"I feel like my confidence is breaking now."

"No need to think about it, the one who will defeat the demon lord is the 7 saint knights and he said if the demon emperor rose then the first emperor will also awaken to stop him."

"Why do I feel like this is all set up before."

"Maybe but who cares, rather than that how about we continue walking the road?"

"You're right."

We walked the street in the capital and there was so much to see.

Especially the giant statue of the first emperor that was made in the center of the capital.

It was really made very detailed until it felt very alive.

She was a very beautiful woman and looked very graceful like a princess.

We also went to the library to read some books that would have helped me.

We went to church at night.

The night hiro's body temperature continues to rise but is not as severe as before and Marie ends up sleeping in Hiro's room because she is too worried.
