《The Revenge of the Devil of Conquest Vol.1》Chapter 11 conquest

Matheus and Saber finally reached the club in the poorest part of the city and observed the surroundings before making a move.
“Alright kid, you're gonna stay out here and stay low. You aren't old enough to enter the club so I'm gonna need you to keep watch.” Matheus said silently as the two approached the club's entrance.
“There has to be something I can do. How about you sneak me in?” Saber said.
“The only thing I need you to do for now is to wait outside. The time will come when I will need your help, but for the time being just stand over there against the wall.” Matheus pointed to the wall facing the club that was covered in graffiti and had other shady people standing around.
“If something happens out here and you need my help don't hesitate to call me.” Matheus said.
“Yea… okay.” Saber looked down in shame. He really wanted to help him gather information and be useful for once in his life. He was always the person who no one would ask for help. Saberreally wanted to be helpful in combat, but it seems whatever he does, makes things worse. Matheus entered the club and disappeared inside the crowd, whereas Saber walked over the graffiti covered wall and simply put on his hoodie and leaned against the wall.
“So did you hear about the incident in Tokyo?” said one of the guys who were standing next to Saber.
“You mean the attack by a whole mess of Demons and Half human?” another said. The group of people that were talking caught Saber's attention and paid close attention to their conversation, hoping to pick up some useful information that he can tell Matheus.
“Yea, that's the one. I heard a rumor that a…” Saber was distracted by a man who approached him.
“Got any money to spare man?” A man who seemed high off of something was asking the boy for money.
“Sorry I don't.” Replied Saber, he kept his head low to avoid his face from being seen
“Come on man, I just need a few bucks.”
“Like I said, I don't have any money on me.”
“Don't be like that! I know you have money.” The man started to get aggressive.
“AH! I said I don't! Leave me alone!” Saber yelled, frustrated at the man for distracting him.
The man quickly pulled out a knife and attacked Saber.
Saber saw the knife coming and managed to avoid the strike and instinctively pulled out his combat knife and swung at the man's hand that wielded the knife, slicing it in two.
“AHH! YOU SON OF A BITCH! MY HAND!” yelled the drugged man who held his bleeding wrist.
Everyone looked at the commotion and took notice at the man who held his arm.
No one bothered doing anything and went about their business as if this were something that commonly happened in the area. The man ran and disappeared in the dark alley. Saber put away his combat knife and leaned back against the wall.
Dammit! The people who were talking about Tokyo left, why the hell would that stupid druggy do something like that. I'm amazed that no one called the police or did something to me after what I did. I didn't even want to attack him. It was like a natural instinct or something that made me attack. Is it a side effect of having this Dark presence in me? Saber thought to himself, trying to keep a calm mind. Matheus walked out of the front entrance and approached the knight.

It would be best if I keep what happened moments ago a secret. The last thing I want to do is get Matheus upset and let him find out that I made a big commotion. Saber thought to himself.
“So did you find any useful information?” Saber asked.
“Yup. I'll tell you what I found out back in the hotel where we will be staying for the night.” Matheus said.
*RING RING* Saber's phone went off and looked to see who was calling. It was Mariane and Matheus immediately noticed the face on the phone and quickly pulled the phone out of Saber's hand.
“HEY What the hell!” Saber yelled.
“Hello? Saber?” Mariane asked.
“Sorry Saber can't get to you right now. To leave a call back number press 5, to leave a”
“MATHEUS! WHY DO YOU HAVE SABER'S PHONE!”
"He had to do something so he told me to hold his phone while he was gone.”
“That's not true!” Saber said loudly.
“I just heard Saber in the background Matheus.”
“What do you need mariane?”
“I just want to know if he was safe before I head off to bed.”
“It's 2 am, you should have been in bed 4 hours ago.”
“Yea but I can't sleep unless I know my teammate is safe.”
“Ugh fine. I'll pass you to him.” Matheus gave back Saber's phone and continued walking towards the direction of the hotel they will be staying.
“Hey Mariane, how are you?”
“I'm doing fine, how about you? Find anything interesting on your trip?
“I'm doing fine considering I nearly died only once.”
“What happened!?”
“Relax, some druggy wanted money and pulled a knife on me. Let's just say, I HANDled the situation.” Saber laughed at the last part.
“What's so funny?”
“Oh nothing, just an inside joke that's all. Anyways, was there something you wanted to talk about?”
“Um… nooo. Why you ask?
“Well you called me so I thought there was something you needed.”
“Oh uhhh no. I just wanted to know if you were doing fine on your small trip.”
“Don't worry about me Marianne. I'm fine. You sound just like my sister you know that?”
“Oh shut up. Anyways come home soon, everyone misses you, especially me.” Marianne said, blushing from the other side of the phone.
“Once I'm done over here I will get back as soon as possible. I'll even bring you back a souvenir if you want.” Saber though about Ato he need to see her then he heard Marianne say.
“Ooooh! I'm looking forward to seeing my gift!”
“Alright Marianne, I'll see you soon. Bye.” Saber hanged up and proceed to follow Matheus to the hotel.
The Victor Hotel
“So why did Marianne call you?” Matheus was in the bathroom brushing his teeth getting ready for bed.
“She wanted to know if I was doing fine.” Saber said. He was already in bed and was reading one of Ato books.
“Is she always worried about you Huh?”
“She became more concerned about me after my sister's passing. That's one of the many things I came to like about her. You don't see someone with a personality like that anywhere these days.”
“That's just the kind of person my sister has always been. She sees the good in people and that is one of the many reasons why I didn't want her to become a magic user.”

“What do you mean?” Saber put down the book and looked at Matheus who was came out of the bathroom and got on his bed.
“She is nice, too nice. I don't like to think about it, but one of these days her kindness could get her killed.”
“That's not going to happen. I will make sure nothing happens to her Matheus, you can trust me on that.”
“You need to learn to protect yourself first. Tomorrow morning will be your first day of training and I am not gonna go easy on you.”
“I know that. I'm ready for anything.”
“Well are you ready enough to take on a 30 Half human soldiers?”
“30? Was that what you found out in the club?”
“Yea and apparently there is going to be a very important meeting involving some high ranking officials of Half human at Tokyo. This could be a trap, but I am 85 percent sure that at least one of the officials that knows about the attack will be there.”
“So we're attending this wonderful rally?”
“I am, but you aren't.”
“I can help you if things go south!” Saber said getting out of bed.
“If you can improve your combat skills before the gathering, I will consider you helping me.”
“Ugh, fine.” Both matheus and Saber fell asleep and slept through the night.
Discovery
“You seem to know how to strategically get to your objective during a fight. You also know how to dodge efficiently, but your sword play still needs work. Lucky for you, I am considered one of the deadliest swordsmen in Japan.”
“Are you?”
“Well I like to think so. I'm not the type of person who enjoys having a spotlight on them every day. In any case, come at me with your sword and only your sword.”
“Okay, if you say so.” Saber pulled out his sword and took his stance. matheus pulled out his Greatsword and immediately attacked Saber. Saber saw the attack coming and rolled to the right.
“Nice dodge there.” matheus quickly went for another swing which Saber continued to avoid every hit.
“Avoiding my attacks will not help you out all the time kid.” Matheus increased his swinging speed which made it more difficult for Saber to avoid.
“START ATTACKING!” Matheus yelled.
Saber swung his sword and aimed for Mathrus's ribs but was stopped by his great sword and Saber was now trying to overpower Mathrus.
“If you can't overpower your opponent, it is best to think of a way to get him open to an attack!” Mathrus overpowered the boy and hit Saber's chest which sent him a few feet back. Saber ran back to the dusty old man then went for a jump attack. Mathrus had no problem blocking Saber's attack and used a large amount of force to push him back.
“If you continue to rely on strength alone, you will surely die!” Saber took a deep breath and analyzed matheus.
He's right. Brute strength alone won't help me at all in this battle. His weapon weights a lot more than my sword, so it must be somewhat difficult for him to perform these types of swings repeatedly. My best bet is to go for a counter attack in the last second. Saber ran back to matheus and thrust his sword straight towards Saber's stomach.
“OH NO YOU DON'T!” matheus used his strength and his great sword's weight to slash at the incoming attack hoping to stop the attack and sent his opponent flying. Saber expected this from matheus and moved to the side in the last moment, nearly missing matheus's great sword and making his mark. Matheus's was sent back a step, but the attack didn't faze him. He quickly went for charged up attack and struck down on the surprised knight. Saber quickly used his sword to block the impending attack. The amount of force that matheus put into the swing caused the ground to shatter, but Saber was still on his feet.
“What the hell!?” Matheus yelled. He took a few steps back and tried to figure out why didn't his attack work. Saber's sword began to glow and the power behind Matheus's attack was absorbed and coursed through Saber's body enhancing his speed and his strength. Saber noticed this sudden surge and decided to use it to his advantage. Saber's speed allowed him to surprise Matheus and didn't allow him time to block or evade the attack. Saber's attack hit and the impact sent Matheus sliding back several feet away.
“Whoa!” Saber said. He walked over to his teacher that was in Awe.
“Oh man, what the hell was that attack.” Matheus looked at the Saber weapon.
“I don't know, maybe the Dark power?”
“No that can't be it. Hey kid, let me see your sword.” Saber proceeded to give him his sword and looked at the dusty old man as he analyzed it.
“Where did you get this sword from kid?”
“It's a hand-me-down from my great great-grandfather that's what my sister told it's a rare black blade katana.”
“Interesting, it seems your weapon absorbed my strong attack and was used to enhance your speed and strength.” matheus gave back Saber's weapon and went to take his stance to continue the training.
“That's awesome!” Saber yelled as he lifted up his sword with pride.
“Let's try that again, this time I will be holding back on my attack so that I can test the theory out.” The two took their stance and matheus swung his sword and landed against Saber's weapon.
“Now attack me.” matheus said as he was ready to block the incoming attack. Saber ran and attacked the drunk man. Saber's speed and strength wasn't equal to that of his previous attack. “Each time your sword makes contact with the enemies attack, it will immediately be transferred to you. If your sword gets hit with tremendous force, it would be best to use the energy behind it cautiously. It will not last long so it would be best to use it to its fullest.”
“I get it now. Man, grandpa really had powerful weapons in his arsenal.”
“Let's see what other tricks your stuff can do"
