The very next day, Hideyos.h.i.+ and Mamoru pulled Raven who was in a day off to go around town for them to see what changes have occurred for the past months that the two of them were not around.Like normal the three of them were carrying their swords and like usual people would stare at them. Especially the ladies, despite knowing that these three were already taken, they were still eye candies and so the ladies were naturally mesmerized.
"I wonder if I would have the chance if they weren"t taken?" one lady couldn"t help but to comment as they look at the three walking handsome men.
"If you can be as good as lady Feena and lady Azusa, then sure you would have a chance," someone pulled her back to reality instantly.
"But don"t you think we still have a chance for sir Raven?" another commented by the side.
"That"s true, he was not yet taken," another added.
In reality, for the past months, as Raven does his duties like normal, different ladies would think this way as they watch him. Even the other lady knights who was training under him have these thoughts. He was one of the best bachelors of the kingdom after all.
Of course these comments were heard by the three of them, to which they just ignored.
"*chuckles* You should get ready to find a lot of suitors by your door step the moment you get home," Hideyos.h.i.+ commented.
"They wouldn"t dare," Raven indifferently replied.
That"s true, despite these their fantasies not any of the ladies have dared to move first and appear by his door step. Especially since some men who would hear them would pour cold waters over them by saying a simple sentence.
"Go on and be like Eureka then," just like this one.
Be like Eureka?
A princess of two kingdoms. Someone who could kill without batting an eye. Someone who didn"t even need to move for people to fall for her beauty. Someone who could sacrifice her life.
Just like that all fantasies would disappear. No one could compare to her, was what was going on in each of their minds.
"Now that"s rude, their fantasies would shatter just like that. Tsk tsk, you should have given them a leeway," Mamoru commented upon hearing the last comment.
"No, the one who should have given them a leeway was Eureka. She was perfect in every way, whether the good side or the bad side. Tsk tsk no one would be able to compare to her," Hideyos.h.i.+ added as he nudged at Raven using his elbow.
"Are you saying that there is someone who could replace Feena," Raven asked indifferently once again.
"Woah, woah, woah, no one could compare with her either. I"m just giving you a piece of my mind. Feena is the only one for me," Hideyos.h.i.+ instantly defended.
Raven raised an eyebrow but didn"t give another comment. Just as they were getting closer to the plaza, they found out that there was a commotion ahead of the road. Upon closer look they found Azusa in the middle trying to placate the two sides.
One was a non ability user while the other was a post ability user.
Listening to the conversations, they found out that the post ability user used to be the bully of the non ability user. He was more like the lackey of the post ability user and that he was also physically abused.
After the start of the war, the post ability user became busy since he was a knight giving the non ability user a chance to improve himself physically, though during those times that non ability user just wanted to become strong to help the kingdom. And now that the war have ended and all was still alive, the non ability user wanted to take revenge.
"Yup, that"s what you get for bullying the weak. You will have enemies you wouldn"t even know when they will attack," Hideyos.h.i.+ couldn"t help but to comment.
"And looking at his pathetic look, he must have relied entirely to his ability. I"m really glad we listened to Eureka and practiced our physical capabilities," Mamoru added.
"And?"
Hideyos.h.i.+ looked at Mamoru, "Are you not planning on helping her? You could be the knight and s.h.i.+nning and armor now."
Mamoru laughed self-deprecatingly, "Do you think, our ladies, the six of us, including Theo and Natsuki, would need their knight and s.h.i.+nning armor?"
Hideyos.h.i.+ exaggeratedly looked up at the sky as if thinking deeply regarding the matter before he grinned and shook his head, indicating a no for an answer.
"Plus that girl, have [practiced her swords more than I did, if anything, she could be much stronger than I am," Mamoru added as he added a sigh after the sentence.
"You were so tyrant back then, where"s that confidence of yours now, huh?" the non ability user suddenly roared as Azusa did her best to stop him from attacking the pathetically sitting in the ground post ability user.
She couldn"t use her sword as well, that meant she would have to resort to violence and that should be the last resort for them who was maintaining the peace of the kingdom.
The post ability gritted his teeth, "This is the fault of that woman, if she didn"t remove our abilities. Then you would be nothing but a dust to me-"
Before he could continue more, the whole place fell silent.
Azusa"s sword were already unsheathed, the two were already pointed at his throat. But there were two more, causing all four swords to surround his neck and one wrong move, his head would be separated from his body.
"Eureka," Azusa coldly said.
The post ability user was trembling as he looked up at her.
"Eureka is the name of that woman. And her removing the abilities of everyone is what saved all of us."
She gritted her teeth as she spoke, if not for her stopping at the last minute surely she would have cut his head already. He was lucky she had been taught self restraint more than anything else.
Eureka"s words resounded in her mind as she trembled from anger looking coldly at the post ability user, who have already p.i.s.sed himself.
Mamoru and Hideyos.h.i.+"s sword were also inches away from his neck but both sword were stopped by Raven"s swords. He too was already wielding two swords just like Azusa. And if he didn"t stop them then his end was already set in stone.
Even the non ability user who was fighting against him a while ago was already trembling in fear. Faced with four of the pillar of the kingdom, anyone would surely tremble in fear especially since their eyes were cold.
Raven looked around and found a patrolling knight, "Bring this man to the western border this instant. Tell the captain over there that he needs physical training and that the captain could use every possible mean in order to teach him properly."
The onlookers trembled once again. Raven"s voice was so cold and they knew that the current captain in the western border was once his subordinate back when he was still a captain. And surely the training they give was as h.e.l.lish as it could be.
The post ability user who was already on the verge of collapse was taken away just like that.
The four of them returned their swords on their sheath as they coldly looked at the man who was being taken away.
To everyone present, they learned a very valuable lesson during this days event.
NEVER EVER TARNISH HER NAME IN FRONT OF THESE PEOPLE OR YOU WOULD INSTANTLY MEET YOUR END ON THAT SAME SPOT.
Without further a do, each on looker started leaving the spot.
"Revenge won"t bring you anything good. Just use you capabilities for the betterment of the kingdom and your family. That way you would ne even more productive," Raven said to the non ability user who nodded his head continuously, before he bowed down respectfully and leaving the place.
Raven sighed. He knew that this would also be an outcome of what Eureka have done. Not everyone would want their abilities be taken away. He just didn"t expect that the four of them would hear it first hand.
He was grateful Azusa had the restraint but Mamoru and Hideyos.h.i.+ was really about to kill that man. He looked at them, "Restrain."
Mamoru and Hideyos.h.i.+ bowed their heads upon hearing this word.
"The matter regarding losing abilities, isn"t as simple. Surely there are more people who wouldn"t have wanted their abilities taken. One example is what had happened today. You need more restraint while faced with such matters."
"We understand," both said at the same time.
Azusa just stood on the side silently as she bit her lower lip. She was able to restrain herself and so she was not part of who Raven was talking about. And so something else is going through her mind.
Seeing her look Raven signalled Mamoru before he turned around followed by Hideyos.h.i.+.
