2023-11-15 02:02:36"A great awakening happened once"
"And the people of the world regained the sense of self they never knew they had lost"
"Returning along with it was their greed, and their desire to own things."
"All property was unclaimed and the race to claim them was intense, so intense that it lead to fights, then small group battles, then full scale wars between Nations."
"Our freedom from the order brought a chaos that that we could not handle"
"And it took a long time before we could attain balance" These were the words of Edward Clipper as he sat with them through the journey.
"Why are you telling us this?" Shiro asked and Edward answered.
"It is a truth I must speak as a descendant of one who saw it all with open eyes" he said
"All the land was taken over by the order but the sea wasn't, and the sea was the home of my ancestors"
"As those who were unaffected by the enslaving rule of the order, they witnessed the unfolding phenomenon with full awareness and told the story as it had unfolded; without heroes, without villains, just men giving into the desires they never knew they had."
"The blood that was shed was a late payment for the freedom we never knew we needed"
"They will tell you fables of many heroes, and myths of the great awakening"
"But the true hero was the one the that shone with light"
"A bright and blinding light"
"At the harbour, he made music out of the battle and we play his tunes till this day"
"He had the power to split the sky, and the wave of his hand was a great thunder"
"None could face him in the light, and none could flee him in the dark"
"A great hero that still lives till this day"
"RAIDEN!!"
All that heard Edward's tale at that moment knew that he was not fundamentally wrong. He may have said some things differently but the words he spoke carried truth. It was astonishing for them to see that there was someone other than them and the priests who knew the truth that was cast out by the world.
Orie was the most impressed as one who held the tradition of tales as sacred.
"Your words have impressed me" he said with a smile of awe on his face
"And it seems I am not the only one" he added as he drew closer and placed his hand on Edward's shoulder. And with a voice that sounded like a great herald, he said "AS REWARD FOR PUTTING A SMILE ON THE FACE OF THE PRIEST AND THE GODS OF HIS LAND, THE PRIEST SHALL GRANT YOU ONE FAVOR"
"ASK, AND IT WILL BE DONE!!"
There was silence for a while, both the ship's crew and passengers were at a loss for words. They all just stood in awe until Orie began to feel awkward.
"Well, if you say so" Edward answered, breaking the silence
"I have one request" he continued
"I need you to help my son become stronger"
"I was lucky enough to be born with immense power but he wasn't"
"I want him to surpass me and take over my legacy when I'm gone"
There was a little pause as Edward was done with his request and awaited Orie's reply.
"What is his name?" Orie asked
"Andrew" Edward answered
"Andrew Clipper"
"Oh wait I know him" Shiro interrupted
"He's the guy on the seat beside Victor" he added
"So that's why this guy seemed so familiar" Yamato said as he observed the old man.
"No he didn't" Victor replied with a doubtful tone.
"Well," Orie said as he took a deep breath
"Since we all know who he is," he continued
"We can quickly get to work"
"And by the way," he added
"We've arrived"

"well, Mr Addison" Ellie said as the camera faced Orie. "What are your thoughts on the current state of the match?" "I'm really not sure" Orie replied "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Her like that so I don't actually know what to expect" "But if I had to take a guess..." "... I'd say I'm glad she wasn't like this in our match" Natsumi missed her first strike, and her second, and her third, and her fourth, and... all her strikes, she missed all of it. As it turns out, Kurobe had quite the reflex and was really good at evasion and keeping the distance. Every time Natsumi got close, he quickly evaded and put distance between them, pushing her back, attacking from blind spots, setting walls between them and a Whole lot of moves that prevented him from getting hit but that didn't stop his opponent from trying. With each passing second, Natsumi got closer to landing a hit on Kurobe. At first it was him feeling the little breeze as her fist fle
Cold hard truth
Many things can anger a fighter. An opponent that toys with them, someone that just won't stay down and in many cases, a direct insult. But none of those things were happening to Kurobe, he was facing something far more annoying; an opponent that isn't paying attention to him. At first glance, it looked like Kurobe was dominating the match without giving his opponent any chance to counter, but there were many times since the beginning of the fight where Natsumi would have been able to strike back but did nothing instead. She had barely moved from where she was standing at the start and she was in deep thought. All Natsumi did from the beginning of the match was to fend off the incoming attacks while thinking about what Orie had said to her. "I have finally seen your true self" "I finally know you" She couldn't muster up the courage to ask him what he meant because she was too afraid of his answer. She was afraid of the truth. "If the real me is a monster...
The veil of confidence
"Ellie porter here" "I'm in the stadium with our favorite finalist and we're here to watch the tussle for third place" "The crowd density in the stadium today would make you wonder how it would be in the final" "The place is packed!" "The first fighter we see coming on the arena is a favorite of many" "A one time champion who claimed his only title by beating all the heavyweights in the early matches and since then he has never not made it to the semifinals" "He is a force to be reckoned with" "Anyone that saw his previous fights would know that he is an opponent that even the champions do not take lightly" "I introduce to you" "Someone most of you already know" "The head of the department of geography" "The man who almost won against Fuji Waramaki" "ISHIGAMI KUROBE" "The second person coming up to the arena" "We love her for her beauty, we love her for her strength and we love her because she loves the one we want to win"
Tears of a beautiful summer
Orie was finally on the offensive. His wind blasts weren't doing much damage but they were strong enough to throw his opponent off balance and disorganize her attacks. He was able to close the distance bit by bit with each successful blast and every one of them hit. Before Natsumi could tell what was going on, Orie was standing directly under her. "White" orie said with a smile as he looked at her from below, then he spun his staff and struck the floor with it. Natsumi immediately turned to guard against it but no wind came from Orie's direction, it came from above and pushed her down. As Natsumi struggled to stand up, Orie began walking towards her and spoke. "I wondered why my prayers weren't working on you" "It would stop you for a brief moment then she'd take care of the rest by will power" "After this encounter, I think I finally figured it out" "The reason why my prayers don't work and who you are" "You are Natsumi" "You are not a spirit tha

"As I spoke previously of my teacher's power, he is a market" "It is in the very core of his name" "There is almost nothing that can't be g
The air around him
"I was wondering why you didn't come to see me all this time" Orie said to Natsumi but got no reply. "You're usually the first to talk, you know" "Now you have me in an awkward position" "I already know what you want so I'm not going to ask" "But you have to tell me one thing" "HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT IT?"
