《Last Wish System 》Chapter 36: The Mysterious Expert
Advertisement
Yale spent some time with Wyba and Ange before starting his night practice.
Wyba missed him a lot and didn’t want to separate from him once they reunited. If Ange didn’t hug her tight Wyba would have rushed towards Yale the moment she saw him.
Ange also had a lot of things to speak with Yale, especially after she received a visit from her master, Yale’s healing class teacher.
Thus, she knew about Yale’s enlightenment about Time Healing.
Ange never told anything about Time Healing to Yale, as that secret could have more dangers than benefits.
However, after she discovered that Yale could also practice it, she wanted to explain her own experiences to Yale as that would be a lot of help to him.
Yale managed to get new insights thanks to his sister’s experiences, he still never used the spell consciously, but thanks to Ange when he used it for the first time it would be easier than with only his own enlightenment.
After that, Ange teased him because of the rumors about how Yale saved Aizu in the Fire Elemental Class.
Yale couldn’t do anything when his sister started to talk about that topic because he needed to tell her that Aizu would come the next morning to train with him and Ange would need to give her permission or Aizu wouldn’t be able to enter.
When he told her, Ange’s teasing increased. She was delighted that his little brother managed to get one girl to come to the house after only one day.
Ange feared that with Yale’s lack of experience in social relationships he would be unable to get a girl and then he would be single for the whole life like his master.
Of course, she didn’t know about Swordmad’s past nor his tragic love, no one in the younger generation knew about those things.
In the end, Yale escaped saying that he needed to train and then went to his room and started his night practice.
Both of them didn’t know where Swordmad went after the lesson.
The answer was to Sainac’s office, which was situated at the highest tower of the academy’s central building.
When the lesson finished, Swordmad had received a telepathy message from Sainac telling him to go immediately to his office.
Sainac couldn’t give orders to Swordmad, but Swordmad sensed the urgency in the message. If Sainac was contacting him that way, there should be an important reason.

When Swordmad arrived at Sainac’s office, he saw that there was someone else in the room.
It had the shape of a person, but it was covered in a black cloak making impossible recognize its gender.
Furthermore, that wasn’t a real person and not even a clone, that was only an incantation will, which had taken the shape of the one who cast it.
However, the pressure it emanated was enough to scare Swordmad; even that will alone would be able to kill him even if he joined hands with Sainac.
Fortunately, that person didn’t come to murder them.
Swordmad was sure of that because that wasn’t his first time meeting with the black cloaked expert’s will.
“I pay my respects to senior; it’s my pleasure meet your excellence again.”
Swordmad being that respectful to someone would have shocked anyone who had met him before.
The mysterious expert nodded and replied with a distorted voice which wasn’t its real voice.
“It had been more than ten years; it seems that you didn’t break the promise you made me at that time.”
“I wouldn’t dare.”
Swordmad was really scared when he met the mysterious expert the first time; such a powerful expert didn’t exist in Nacesai City nor in the surrounding cities.
It was the most powerful expert that Swordmad had met in his life, and that was only an incantation, he didn’t dare to imagine the true power of its main body.
That time, the mysterious expert had said to him that he visited only four people in its previous visit to the Roanmad clan, being Swordmad one of them.
Swordmad didn’t know who were the other three nor what did happen when the mysterious expert visited them, but he didn’t dare to ask.
Swordmad only knew that he had made a promise to that expert, although at that time he didn’t think that the situation the expert said would really happen and he would need to fulfill the promise.
However, it happened.
The exact situation depicted by the mysterious expert happened to Swordmad some years ago.
Swordmad had promised to accept a disciple who would have some unusual circumstances around him.
The mysterious expert said that his future disciple would be a kid used to be a bookworm who never trained. However, he would suddenly become crazy at training and would ask Swordmad to be his master even if he never wielded a sword before.

Swordmad didn’t believe that such kid could appear, but he promised to take him as disciple if someone like that appears.
The kid who fulfilled all the conditions was Yale.
At the start, Sowrdmad became shocked when he heard that a kid who was almost as the mysterious expert depicted appeared in the clan.
However, as Yale didn’t go to ask Swordmad to become his master and instead went to practice archery, Swordmad thought it was only a strange coincidence.
He only thought that until Yale appeared in front of him asking to become Swordmad’s apprentice.
All the questions Swordmad asked Yale were only a cover, he would accept him disregarding what Yale answered.
Of course, even if he accepted him as disciple due to the promise to the mysterious expert, Swordmad developed affection to his disciple afterward. Yale was the type of kid that was suited to be Swordmad’s disciple.
Swordmad couldn’t avoid thinking that the mysterious expert has an exceptional power of foresight. Yale wasn’t even born at that time, and the expert already knew how he would be as if he could see the future.
Swordmad believed that the mysterious expert had an understanding of the Time Law and had should have seen something about Yale that made him went to visit Swordmad.
When Swordmad sensed time ripples about Yale, he was only surprised at first.
However, on their way to the academy, Swordmad reminded the powerful expert and couldn’t avoid thinking that there should be some relation.
Ange also had some connection to time due to Time Healing, so there should be a reason for both siblings having such strange relation to the time element.
Finally, in his first day in the academy, Yale also showed talent in Time Healing, and then the mysterious expert appeared again, that couldn’t be a coincidence.
Sainac also knew the mysterious expert from before, that expert was the one who told him about Ange’s talents even before the Roanmad clan could test them.
Sainac was the one who personally tested Ange’s talents, and very few people know them in totality.
“You both should understand why I appeared today. I haven’t any ill will towards you, the academy or the city.”
After a brief stop, the expert continued.
“However, if one of them dies or suffer an irreparable loss, I will personally exterminate the whole city and anyone who had any relation to it. I needn’t say anything about to who I mean, right?”
Sainac and Swordmad nodded, they were able to understand without difficulties the mysterious expert’s intentions.
Furthermore, that expert’s will had enough strength to eradicate the city even if the whole city tried to resist.
“Then, I should leave. Remember, don’t disappoint me.”
After saying that, the expert disappeared from Sainac’s office.
Swordmad and Sainac were relieved after the expert left the room, they felt too much pressure from him.
Both of them didn’t know that the other had met the expert before, but after that night they didn’t have any doubt about it.
Then, they looked at each other and then started to exchange information about what they knew from that expert based on their previous interactions and deductions.
The peak of the tower where Sainac’s office was located was considered a restricted area for almost anyone.
However, at that moment the mysterious expert was seated above the tower looking towards the house where Yale and Ange were.
“We shouldn’t interact directly, that would only harm you at this moment.”
After stopping for a moment and even if no one was hearing him, the expert continued.
“Yale Roanmad, the day you understand the mystery of your past life should be the day we meet again.”
Yale would be shocked if he heard the mysterious expert because he never told anything about his past life to anyone.
“No matter in what life, you are still careless as always. The world’s reaction for creating an ordinary skill and an Origin Skill have slight differences. You are lucky that I can suppress it or you would have become the target of really fearsome people.”
That mysterious expert knew about the Origin Path and even helped Yale to hide it from the external world.
“Don’t die before you are qualified to meet with me; I still need to repay you for what I did in the past.”
After taking a last look towards Yale, the mysterious expert vanished.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *
