Chapter 19: Quest 17- Knights Training

When Cirrus next woke up, he found himself looking up at a wooden ceiling.

“…”

He looked to find the room only had Hermes.

“Hermes.” Cirrus spoke up.

“Hm, hm!” Hermes woke up. “Your awake! Its been a few hours since the Knight of Knights knocked the day lights out of you!”

“Ugh!” Cirrus tried to stand up. “Yeah…my whole body is in pain, is there anyone else here?”

“Their all sleeping, here.” Hermes hands Cirrus a sword.

“What’s this?” Cirrus goes and holds it.

“It’s a replacement from the one Lance broke during your spar.”

“Ah…fuck she’s gonna kick my ass for breaking it.”

Cirrus gets out of bed and his magic circle appears.

“(Exousía, Adorn).”

The armor quickly heals Cirrus and as soon as it healed all major injuries, he quickly disengaged it.

“It always it a sight to see you don that armor, shame you have to put it away so fast.”

“Hmm…well maybe you will. I found another interesting detail about it.”

“Oh? did you now?”

“Yup.”

Cirrus then began to walk out the room.

“W-wait your not gonna tell me!”

“You have sharp eyes and yet you didn’t see any major lacerations on my body, did you?” Cirrus said leaving the room.

“Laceration…!!”

Remembering the slash Lance sent at Cirrus, Cirrus himself had no actual cuts on him just bruising.

“Well…seems that magic of yours is very special indeed.”

Leaving the room as well Hermes joined Cirrus in a late-night snack.

“Oh by the way Knight of Knights is going to train you while where in Melen.” Hermes said as he takes a bit of the food provided by the inn.

“W-what!”

 

The next day.

“Seems your all healed up.” Lance said as he sits on a box.

“You held back enough for that, so you wanted to train me?”

“Yes, during our spar I found you had a lot of potential, so I thought why not help further polish you, seeing as there is time for me to train you a bit.”

“Oh, I see.”

“So tell me who taught you? Was it your Familia?”

“My swordsmanship is self-taught I work on it in the dungeon, my spearmanship was taught by my Blacksmith.”

“Hmm…so Autolycus didn’t teach you? She is your captain.”

“I’m actually not in their Familia.”

“Your not? Then why are you with them?”

“My god asked me to help with their investigation of Evilus.”

“Hmm…well then.” He gets up and picks up his long sword, a rather simple looking weapon but Cirrus could see various scratch on the hilt and handle of the weapon and even on the spine of the sword. “I’m not going to pry any further what your Familia situation is yours, now shall we beginning you some swordsmanship.” He holds his blade as he did before with Cirrus’s short sword.

“Yes, teacher.”

The two would train for hours on end, Lance would instill in him his own form of swordsmanship, to his delight Cirrus didn’t complain and simply worked on improving. When they took their break, he even decided to teach him to fish something Hermes joined in to pass the time.

“Say do you know anything about using a shield?” asked Cirrus practicing some sword swings.

“A shield huh? hmm…not so much I simply worked on my swings, why? Did you wish to add the shield to your skillset?”

“At one point yes but I found it rather uncomfortable to use so I decided to work more on evasions.”

“That’s a shame well if you really wish to learn I’m sure you can, you did teach yourself the basic of swordsmanship so using a shield shouldn’t be too much trouble.”

“Hm, ill try and see about it one day.”

Day after day went by as Lance was teaching him and even sparing with him. Cirrus’s skill with the sword on rare occasions Poseidon would give him pointers on his spearmanship and even some of his techniques, Cirrus asked why he was teaching him, and he simply replied that no one wished to learn spearmanship from him.

 

After 9 days the merchants arrived to Melen, Hermes and Poseidon got to asking them and thankfully one of the merchants told them that a new Familia has taken over the city Santorio Vega, another took control of Zolingham.

“Well this is troublesome.” Hermes said.

“They took two very important cities at such a speed.” Lydia said.

“No…its reasonable given that they said it was the Vritra and Chernobog Familia both have 1^st class adventures, they must have taken over the smaller Familia building up their fighting force and took the reins from the previous Familia in a aggressive take over.” Said Cirrus.

“Well for now we have two places we need to go dismantle.” Hermes said thinking of what to do. “But…which one needs to go down first?”

“…Mmm…we should head back to Orario and get information on the two Familia’s.” Cirrus said.

“Hm, we do lack the information…” Lydia said.

The whole Familia were stumped on what they were going to do.

“Then lets gather the information?” Cirrus said. “Some of us will go to one of the cities and begin gathering information.”

“I see…but who will g-“

“Can I go to Zolingham?” asked Cirrus. “I have some experience in blacksmithing.”

“Well aren’t you skilled Zephyr.” Hermes said. “For now we shall go and get information on the Vritra Familia in Santorio Vega, Cirrus can we trust you to gather information on the Chernobog Familia until we arrive?”

“Of course, I'll simply act as a weak child.”

“Hah! Weak!” Lydia said. “You’re a tough kid!” she then slapped his arm and he begun to cry out.

“S-s-s-s-she hurt me!!!! Ooooowwwww!!!!” with tears rolling around on the ground.

Cirrus then immediately stopped and with brushed himself off.

“Like I said acting.”

“Well then.” Hermes made a big smile. “Now that, that’s settled, we will meet at Zolingham in a few months’ time.”

“Then the operation begins.”
