《Hero for Hire》Chapter 8: The final Training
Advertisement
The town was in chaos. Many building were destroyed and many lives lost but people returned normal afterwards. The three return inside the inn to calm themselves. Hughes only sighed at them.
"Haah, you three will get use to it."
"How can we get use to this?!"
Moka slamed her hand on the table as she glared at Hughes. She lived in a world where death rarely occured to her. Just seeing many corpses lying around the town and people just continue like it never happend, how could she just ignored it? Touya was the same as Moka but only sat in the table as he stared at Miaka.
Yumiko kept staring at Haru. After that incident, her heart race everytime she looked at haru. Haru was a cold-hearted person to her but she couldn't understand why she could only think about him.
Maika was still in her own little world as she couldn't forget about her reward. Haru only observe the three when the situation occured. The three froze on the spot and had to let Miaka fight. This heroes only need a push to make them stronger, those where the thoughts of Haru as he has to use drastic measures.
"Um... Haru?"
Yumiko called Haru as he was silent. As he made a decision, stood up his seat and called out the three.
"Today's situation led me to an conclusion, you guys need to kill in order to become stronger."
"W-what?"
"Ugh..."
"..."
As Haru said that, the three were shocked. Moka even had to threw up as she remembered this morning while Yumiko only remained silent. Haru, with his unchanging emotion, had to teach these people on reality. Touya, who remembered this morning, glared at Haru.
"How can we just kill a living being so easily? This is just plain wrong."

"Touya..."
"..."
His speach made the two girls beside him glad. They were not use to this world's morals. How can they kill so easily? Haru was impressed by his words.
"Hey, Touya."
"What?"
*Smack*
"Gah!"
But Haru gave a punch at his face as he flew, hitting the tables that were there. All of them were shocked that haru had punched Touya. Then, Haru approached Touya and grab his collars.
"Let me give you an advice, this world and that world are different. Do you think you could protect people with what, words? Bullshit! This now the world where your life in put on the line, asshole. Do you want to protect those girls beside you? Or you just gonna stood there and let them get fucking rape or die?"
"..."
Haru gave harsh remarks to Touya's good nature. The words Haru gave have made Touya bitter. They do not live in a wonderful world anymore. This was a world where strong rule the weak. He remained silent as he only hung his head down. Haru still lectured Touya.
"At least you have lived for more than 6 years of peace than me. You have been blessed with a good fortune. Power, Gifts and even people who will stand beside you. I have live in this world far earlier that you and you just gonna whine like a fucking baby?"
Touya was shock when Haru said that. How could he be angry at Haru. He is older than him and was blessed with everything while Haru had face the harsh reality at such a young age. How could he be rightful when face with those words? But he rebuke Haru's words.
"I know that you live in this world far longer than us but we can't just kill an living being so easily. People's lives are precious and its live are important."

"..."
Touya was pacifist that he treasures lives. He was raised in a good family that teaches him how lives are important. He was scared to bathe his hands with blood. Haru was grinded his teeth as Touya doesn't want to kill a living being.
"So this is your choice..."
"Yeah..."
After confirming with Touya had made Haru's decision resolute...
★☆★☆
The four came towards a plain where no trees nor buildings had surrounded him. Hughes had to fix the damages cause by Haru after the incident with Touya.
As Haru waved his hand, then, a sword appeared out of nowhere.
"Here."
He gave the sword to Touya. When Touya unsheath the sword, it gave off a beautiful blue luster as it shined in the sun. It was made with careful craftsmanship as it was made with many skilled blacksmiths. Touya was surprise that Haru gave him such a beautiful sword.
"Its name is 'Moonlight'. It was with me for three years and save me countless times."
"H-how can you-"
*Bang*
Before he could finish his swords, Haru gave a strong punch. It was blocked by the sword, and was only blown away for a few meters. Touya was shocked. If he didn't used the sword, that blow could instantly killed him. Haru then stared at the three who were still froze at that moment.
"Both of you and Miaka, I want you help this fucker. This is now my final training for the three of you, survive."
"W-what?"
The four of them were shocked at Haru's words. His words were like knives that stab through their heart. His gaze was deadly that would kill with a single glare. It was like facing the final boss that made them felt their lives are in danger.
Haru charges to Touya as if he prepares to kill him...

A Broken World [Rewrite]
In a world of floating islands of stone in the sky, where rivers flow through the air and defy gravity from one island to another, and ancient ruins can be found containing wonders beyond what can be produced by the lands current inhabitants- a millenia long war rages. In the distant past, beyond recorded history, when the crown of humanity's glory, the city of Uri, had stood whole against the enroaching demon swarms- even as hope seemed lost, a band of heroes, against all odds, managed to steal powerful magical knowledge from the demons. With the demon's forbidden knowledge, in the heart of Uri a new ritual was made. Called, "The Millenial Summoning," the ritual had the power to call a being from another world that would have the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods to the world. With the blessings and power of the new priests, the unstoppable demon hordes were finally halted. A thousand years later, the ritual was used again and "The First Sorceress" was brought to the world. She brought the knowledge of advanced magics, and techniques to find and refine magical talent. With the magic power now added to the battlefield, the stalemate was broken. And for the first time, the demons were pushed back. Another thousand years later, and all of humanites hope for a final victory were dashed. Traitors slew the ritual's participants and took their places, and humanity quaked as The Demon King stepped into the world. His name, his nature, where he came from none of these are known, but what is known is his overwhelming power and his brilliant strategic leadership of the formerly formless hordes. Still, despite their position being even more dire than it has ever been since history has been recorded, humanity held on for another thousand years. Aided, thankfully, by The Demon King not taking the field after the first few years and battles. Now, the ritual is being cast again and a new hero is being summoned. In our world, after nearly three decades of study and hard work, Lucas Jaeger is making his dreams come true. With a double doctorate in both genetics and microbiology, as well as an associates degree in accounting, he has finally, after nearly driving himself mad from stress and sick from overwork, been able to put to together a presentation and ask for a business loan. His long time dream, earned by his own blood and sweat, to start his own commercial genetic company is finally coming to fruition. Lucas's car never left the banks parking lot and Lucas was never seen again in our world. This is a rewrite of "A Broken World." It is basically the same story, just a thousand times better and with decent length chapters!
