Swordmaster: The Origin
Emergency Situations
After Nix explained to Lina about him being able to reach the end of the world, Lina was silent for a moment while thinking.
It was because Lina was trying to process what she had just heard from Nix, regarding Nix meeting Lilith and herself who ended up to the end of the world due to her magic.
When explaining to Lina earlier, Lina did not speak at all and only listened to Nix while occasionally being surprised to hear his explanation
Which indicates that Lina listened to Nix's words seriously and did not take it as a mere joke.
That made Nix a little relieved, as he thought that Lina would take it as a made-up story by him.
Nix was indeed sent to the end of the world by Lilith, using a high-level magic called World Teleport End.
After 3 minutes Lina fell silent while thinking, Lina finally said to Nix who was in front of her.
"That's it, so the point is, you met a Demon General all of a sudden, and you were attacked using a magic called World Teleport End that allowed you to be here right now." Lina.
Nix nodded in response to Lina's remark.
Lina who saw that immediately continued on.
"Honestly, I don't know why a Demon General would move an ordinary student like you here."
"But for sure, the magic of the world teleport end doesn't seem like a lie, because it's one of the things that makes sense to explain you that can get here now." Clarify Lina.
Nix did tell Lina about him being sent here by a Demon General, but Nix still injected her with the fact that he had managed to corner the Demon General.
That was because Nix did not want Lina to take it as a mere hobby, as a 14-year-old student who fought on balance against a Demon General would naturally not be able to be trusted so easily.
Therefore Nix decided to hide his strength first at this time.
Until the moment when Nix can show Lina his true strength.
"I also don't know why a Demon General suddenly appeared near me, it's possible that he misdirected his magic to the person he was after, and that it hit me instead."
Lina was silent for a moment after listening to Nix's explanation.
"You're right, that might be the case." Lina said slowly.
After a brief conversation about how Nix got to the end of the world, a knock appeared from the doorstep of Lina's house.
*Tok tock! {Suara door knapped}
Lina who heard it immediately returned to her usual face and went towards the door of her house.
"Yes, just a minute." Lina opened the door.
Nix just fell silent in place while looking at Lina who was at the door of the house.
Nix heard some male voices that seemed to be in their 40s, and they were not only 1 but there were some.
And they were talking about something like a monster coming to attack, but Nix could not hear it clearly because it was covered in the sound of strong wind from outside.
After a while, the people outside peered inside the house to catch a glimpse.
And they were a little surprised when they saw Nix.
"Who is that guy? did you know Lina?" Asked one of the men while looking at Nix.
"Hm? ah, he's my student."
"Murids? I haven't heard before that you have students.."
"U-um, that's him.I just made him my student."
"Hoooh, so is it."
Not long after, Lina continued her chat with those few people and again closed the door
"Fuhhh...why do you have to be at a time like this?" Lina let out a small breath
Nix who saw Lina complaining, directly asked her about what happened.
"Is there something?" Ask Nix.
Lina turned her face to Nix
"Some bear monsters came out of the nest and started attacking the surrounding residents who lived here, some of them asked me for help to drive them away." Lina.
"Monster bear?"
"Yes, the name is White Ursus, they have a large body, hard skin, thick fur, sharp claws, and a keen sense of smell. They could even see clearly in the extremely thick white fog."
"Isn't that dangerous? why did the people around you ask you to expel him?"
Lina ignored my question for a moment and went to pick up her jacket and backpack and took out some of the necessities she needed to hunt.
"That's because I've killed White Ursus before, and back then the villagers started relying on me to protect them from the monsters here." Lina stuffed a few folding arrows into the bag.
"Hoooh, do you have a lot of Lina's fighting experience?"
"Yes, that's how I'm used to killing monsters" Lina closed her backpack and walked towards her crossbow that was hung on the wall.
"Heeeh, so is it."
Nix just stood still while looking at Lina who was getting ready.
Not long after, Lina who was ready immediately put on her glasses before opening the door and facing towards Nix.
Nix nodded in response to Lina's remark.
Upon seeing Nix nod, Lina directly walked out of the house and closed the door.

...----------------...
It had been 2 hours since Lina left, and Nix had already been wandering around inside the house to take a look.
Lina's house is a simple house with 90% of the furniture made of wood.
It was commonplace, as it was difficult to obtain materials such as ceramics in the cold environment that they are today.
There were some animal headdresses hanging on the walls of Lina's house, and 1 fireplace that made the house always feel warm.
1 Kitchen combined with a dining table, 1 toilet, and 1 living room used for sleeping.
There were no private rooms in Lina's house, probably because only she lived alone.
There are some foods that are frozen, and stored in the kitchen cabinet.
There were also several arrows hung on the walls of the house, perhaps to make it easier to fill up the ammunition.
Nix already fully understood the layout and various equipment that was in Lina's house.
Therefore, now all he did was sit on one of the chairs in the living room while looking towards the fire that was in the fireplace.
"Old lina is also..." Nix muttered softly.
It's been 2 hours since Lina left and still hasn't come home.
Nix is told by her to stay home and not go outside because it is dangerous.
Nix also realized that, because he had difficulty in finding directions, especially outside which was covered by a thick fog.
However, Nix is a little worried about Lina going to kill the bear monster named White Ursus.
For Nix had no idea how strong White Ursus was, or perhaps how much Lina was fighting.
Lina had said before that she had indeed defeated White Ursus before, but perhaps it was only 1 White Ursus, not her group.
While thinking that, suddenly a knocking sound came from the front door of the house.
*Tok tock! {Tap sounds}
"Hm?" Nix who was thinking was instantly made aware by the sound of a knock he heard.
If it was Lina, then she would not have to knock to get inside her house, which meant it was someone else.
Nix immediately stood up from his chair and headed to his doorstep.
*Cklek*Nix saw a man he saw earlier while chatting with Lina.
The man was covered in blood slightly around his head, and he was also trembling as well as out of breath.
Nix had no idea what had really happened to that person, but all Nix knew was that this person was panicking right now.
"A-anu..if it is not wrong.you are Lina's student, right?" Said the man gasping.
Nix immediately remembered about Lina telling the person who had come to his house that she was his disciple.
That was why the person in front of him was currently seeing Nix as Lina's disciple.
"Well, did something happen?" Ask Nix.
The man in front of Nix quickly caught his breath and looked at Nix's face seriously.
"L-lina.he's in danger now."
Nix was shocked to hear the man's words.
"Can you tell me what's going on?" Nix asked with a serious face to the man.
"Some White Ursus came all of a sudden after we defeated some of them, and now Lina and the others are trying to hold them back.
"However, judging from her condition, it seems like Lina can't hold it any longer..Therefore, are you who is Lina's student able to help me?" Ask the guy.
Nix quickly walked inside and looked at one of the wooden walls where a sword was displayed in a glass case.
Nix, who now had no sword, decided to take the sword.
"Sorry." Nix hit towards the glass box
*Prank! Nix broke the glass box and took the sword inside.
Then he immediately rushed to run towards the man.
"Can you tell me the way?" Ask Nix to the man.
The man immediately nodded and pointed Nix towards his location.
"Follow me here." Said the Man.
