Chapter 70 - 70-Team Fujimoto vs Aioze

Aioze takes two swords out of his sheath, the sword in his left hand has blue and white details, while the sword in his right hand has black and red details.

Aioze – The sword in my left hand is Tentetsutou, while the sword in my right hand is the Kusanagi no Tsurugi.

Fujimoto and Koharu are shocked.

Fujimoto – (impossible)

Koharu – (it can't be.)

Aioze – I expected this shock from you two.

Fujimoto, Koharu, Shana and Max are shocked when they hear this from Aioze.

Fujimoto – What do you mean?

Koharu – You know the origin of these swords, right?

Aioze – Yes, the Tentetsutou is a sword from universe two, while the Kusanagi no Tsurugi is a sword from universe three.

Fujimoto, Koharu, Shana and Max are completely shocked by Aioze's words,

Aioze – now enough of this idle chatter and let's fight.

Aioze goes after the four of them, Max uses Physical Enhancement and tries to hold Aioze, but Aioze freezes Max's feet with Kusanagi no Tsurugi.

Max screams.

Max – I'm not going to lose here!

Aioze then cuts off Max's legs.

Aioze – now there are only three left.

Shana – you two already know what the plan is, go after him.

Koharu goes after Aioze, Fujimoto is shaking.

Shana – (Is Fujimoto scared?)

Koharu – (It can't be, right now Fujimoto is scared.)

Koharu uses her FEELINGS ability and creates a shield. Aioze starts attacking Koharu, Koharu manages to defend herself from Aioze's sword blows with her shield, Aioze uses the ice power of the Kusanagi no Tsurugi sword and tries to freeze Koharu's shield, but Koharu's shield is not frozen, Koharu smiles.

Koharu - I made this shield thinking about defending yourself from your ice ability.

Aioze sighs.

Aioze - I understand, I'll get this over with quickly.

Koharu is shocked and doesn't understand anything.

Aioze - Feel the power of the Tentetsutou sword now!

Aioze then burns Koharu's shield and then cuts off both of her arms.

Koharu - Aarrrghhhh!!!

Aioze kicks Koharu away.

Shana gets desperate and makes a decision.

Shana - I give up on this duel.

Everyone is surprised.

Aioze – What a surprise to hear that, so now all that's left is the boy over there who's shaking.

Fujimoto continues shaking.

Fujimoto – (Can I really fight Aioze?)

Aioze puts away his two swords and goes after Fujimoto, Aioze punches Fujimoto in the stomach.

Fujimoto – Aaahhhh!

Fujimoto falls to the ground.

Aioze – I can't believe my brother would want to train someone so pathetic, so if you have the slightest bit of dignity then get up now and show me why my brother wanted to train you.

Fujimoto doesn't answer.

Aioze looks at Fujimoto with a look of disappointment.

Aioze – You've shown yourself to be pathetic, I'm going to end this fight.

Fujimoto – (I'm pathetic, but couldn't I have at least tried to attack Aioze?)

Fujimoto then remembers something his mother once said.

Fujimoto – (Mom always said that if I calmed my mind and soul down and focused on just one thing, I could break any barrier, maybe I should try to do that now.)

Fujimoto then puts one of his hands on the ground and starts to get up, with a serious look he says.

Fujimoto – This isn't over yet!

Aioze – It is.

Aioze goes up to Fujimoto and kicks him. Fujimoto bleeds a little from his mouth.

Fujimoto – (Focusing only on defeating Aioze.)

Fujimoto then starts to focus his mind and soul on the goal of defeating Aioze, but he hears something.

Fujimoto – (This is a message from Elfhrensei's level system.)

"System Message: Attempt to unlock SEISHI skill temporarily granted."

Fujimoto – (I understand.)

Aioze – Now let's all go to sleep.

When Aioze and the others were preparing to return to the Mercenaries of Good headquarters, something happens. Fujimoto appears behind Aioze with a speed that no one had seen before. Everyone is shocked. Fujimoto tries to attack Aioze with a sword, but he quickly takes out his Tentetsutou sword and blocks Fujimoto's blow.

Aioze – (How did he get so fast?)

Aioze also takes out his Kusanagi no Tsurugi sword. Aioze then starts to fight Fujimoto. Fujimoto is having a bit of trouble. Everyone watches in surprise at what they are seeing. Fujimoto then throws his sword towards Himeno's face. Aioze is worried.

Aioze – What are you doing?

Aioze then turns his face to look at the sword. Fujimoto takes advantage of Aioze's inattention and punches him in the face.

Fujimoto – Your fight is here!

Aioze spits blood.

Aioze then glares at Fujimoto, and Yuuki notices.

Yuuki – Sir, I grabbed the sword, with my speed there would be no way something like that could hit us.

Aioze calms down and looks at Fujimoto in a different way.

Aioze – (Now I understand what he wanted to do, it was a dishonest trick, but it was something someone who trusts in the abilities of their companions did, now I understand what my brother saw in this brat.)

Aioze – Let's end this fight soon.

Fujimoto gets angry and shouts.

Fujimoto – I'll keep going!!!

Aioze – If you can keep going, then you can go.

Fujimoto tries to punch Aioze, but he faints right after.

"System Message: Temporary use time of SEISHI skill has expired."

Fujimoto – (So my skill has expired?)

Aioze puts away his swords, Aioze picks up Fujimoto and carries him on his back.

Aioze – Shana, it seems like you've already regenerated Koharu and Max, so since everyone is okay, let's go back to the barracks so you can take a shower.

Everyone returned to the Good Mercenaries' barracks. Aioze introduces them to the other members of the barracks.

Aioze – Everyone, I hope you can welcome our new members very well.

Aioze looks at Fujimoto, Koharu, Shana and Max.

Aioze – I would also like to introduce you to the pillars of the Mercenaries of Good.

A man wearing armor and a woman wearing mage clothes climb onto something that looks like a stage, and Yuuki soon climbs up. The woman dressed as a witch starts to speak, her name is Lysandra Myle.

Lysandra – Hi, my name is Lysandra Myle, I am the one who takes care of the training of those who want to learn any type of magic, and I am also the commander of magical strategies for the Mercenaries of Good group, I hope I can get along well with the new members.

Fujimoto – (She has a calm and mesmerizing way of speaking, I better watch out for her.)

Now the man in armor has introduced himself, his name is Gerald Splinton.

Gerald – Hello, I'm not much of a talker, but my name is Gerald Splinton and I'm the defensive strategy commander for the Good Mercenaries group. I hope I can count on your support.

Fujimoto – (He seems shy, but he seems to be quite strong.)

Now Yuuki is the one who will start speaking.

Yuuki – As everyone already knows, my name is Yuuki Tachibana. I'm the vice-commander and also the strategy commander for the offensive battalion. I hope I can count on everyone's help.

Fujimoto – (She gave a pretty good speech.)

Now it's Aioze who takes the stage.

Aioze – Hello, my friends, my name is Aioze Stuart. I'm the leader of the Good Mercenaries and I'm also responsible for bringing together the strategies of the three commanders into a single strategy. My goal is for us to be a group of mercenaries that only carries out missions in the name of justice. I would also like everyone in the group to respect each other.

All the other members scream, cheering with Aioze's speech.

Fujimoto – (It seems that everyone loves Aioze, he seems like a great person.)

Aioze – Now you can all go have fun or rest if you want.

Yuuki talks to Fujimoto, Koharu, Shana and Max.

Yuuki – After you take a shower, I want you to meet me in the third room on the main floor, which is on the highest floor.

Fujimoto, Koharu, Shana and Max go to take a shower. When they finish taking a shower, they get dressed and go to the third room designated by Yuuki. There they meet Yuuki, Himeno, Lysandra and Gerald.

Yuuki – I called the four of you here to propose something if you want.

Fujimoto – What would it be?

Yuuki – I heard from Lysandra that you and the kings of Omeron played a game where you had a box with three duplicate tokens, and then each person who drew the same token slept in the same dormitory, so I thought about doing the same here, I already talked to Aioze about it. So what do you think?

Fujimoto – (I haven't used the Hidden Observatory since I saw it here, but I'm going to use it to see if this Lysandra is suspicious.)

Fujimoto – (Her skills seem a bit suspicious, but if Aioze trusts her, then I will too.)

Shana – I have a question I would like to ask Lysandra.

Lysandra – Go ahead.

Shana then gets a serious look.

Shana – How did you know about this?

Lysandra – I have informants in several kingdoms, so one of them told me.

Shana – Which one was it?

Lysandra – Unfortunately, I can't talk about my informants.

Yuuki – Don't get Lysandra wrong, Aioze trusts her and I ask that you trust her too.

Fujimoto sighs.

Fujimoto – Okay, I'll trust her because of Aioze, and what about you guys?

Koharu, Shana and Max look at her with a suspicious look.

Koharu – Let's trust with a little suspicion.

Himeno – What about Yuuki's suggestion?

Gerald – Lysandra and I will stay here for two days until we return to our main rooms, so we can participate in this, so make up your mind.

Fujimoto, Koharu, Shana and Max accept.

Himeno gets excited.

Himeno – So let's make the cards and get a box.

Himeno gets a box and makes the cards. Himeno is happy.

Himeno – The first one to pick up a token will be Commander Gerald.

Gerald gets shy.

Gerald – Are you sure I deserve such an honor?

Himeno then smiles.

Himeno – Yes, Commander.

Gerald – I'll draw lots, but please, when you're all alone with me, just call me Gerald, the title of Commander makes me a little embarrassed.

Gerald then picks up a token.

Gerald – token room number two.

Himeno – Now it's Lysandra's turn.

Lysandra – Let's see which token I'm going to pick.

Lysandra then picks up a token.

Lysandra – token room number four.

Himeno – Now it's Yuuki's turn.

Yuuki then picks up a token.

Yuuki – token room number one.

Himeno – Now it's my turn.

Himeno – (I hope I draw token number three and Fujimoto also draws token number three.)

Himeno then draws a token.

Himeno – token room number two.

Gerald – then I'll stay in the same room as Himeno.

Himeno – (I couldn't get a Fujimoto.)

Himeno – now it's Max's turn.

Max – I'll draw it, I hope I don't have to sleep in a room with a certain person.

Shana makes an angry reaction.

Shana – go draw your token already!

Max then goes to draw his token.

Max – token room number one.

Yuuki – then I'll be paired with Max.

Himeno – now it's Shana's turn to draw a token.

Shana – (I hope I draw the token for room number four.)

Shana then goes to draw the token.

Shana – token room number four.

Fujimoto and Koharu look at each other.

Koharu – Then I'll be paired with Fujimoto.

Yuuki – Now, let's each pair go to their own room. The rooms are on this floor and are named with numbers.

Then each pair went to their assigned room.
