《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...

Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return
On the distant world of Mendala, a rash of mysterious attacks have left many towns destroyed, and there are rumors of an army of monsters. Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
