The Irregulars
Chapter 5
''oh right I forgot something, i got to go and train the knights with their daily exercise, So bye guys"
''bye" Rein responds, waving his hands.
''oh right we forgot to check her status" Said Gen.
''Right!"
The three "status appraisal"
•Claris Von Aquarian• status•
•Gender: Female. •age: 18
•Race: human
•Specialty: life force arts
•life arts affinity: materialization
•occupation: vice captain Knight : Great sword wielder
•title: Noble of Aquarian lineage
•abilities: captainship(the ability to lead the troops) Great sword slashes(the ability to use Great sword and slash heavily)
• life arts skills:-
''ohh she has life force arts like me however her affinity is materialization" Said Rein wondering what kind of power is it therefore he got interested as they both had the same specialty which made him feel closer to her.
''however she doesn't have any skills yet". said Gen Curious as to why such a noble knight doesn't have any power.
''Maybe for the age of 18, it's not time yet?..." said Rein.
''anyway for now let's avoid nobles and think about our plans" Claude firmly suggested.
''why she's nice though, and she might help us" Said Rein trying to convince the others, even thought rein finds Claris as a trustful companion, however Claude is still wary of her.
''I get the feeling that she will keep asking too much questions.... or more like interrogations" said Claude shrugging Rein.
''well.... Claude may be right Rein" Said Gen.
As Rein and Claude were arguing Gen mentions the Knight captain which shifted the conversation. ''okay so how about the Captain Galand?...''
Claude responded. "let's trust him for now I get more comfortable with him than Claris"
''... aren't your just being harsh to judge Claris" Said Rein who felt a bit annoyed to Claude.
''....I'm not, it's just we might get in trouble, if a Nobile will know something about us like we're from another world and our mission given by the sage you know, a lot of worse variables exist in our situation, specially since were still weak and unaccustomed to this world"
Claude explained Clearly to Rein that he is just wary of her because the potential negative effect that Claris might bring them if Claris is not a trustful companion.
*sigh* "Okay okay I get it" Rein agreed, with his personality, he was unable to talk back to Claude.
in the light of the predicament Gen suggested to eat to make the atmosphere between them a bit lighter.
''we'll let's eat, we forgot it due to all that talking."
''AHH! your right" Rein lively responded.
The three of them ate the food and drinks the water silently and awkwardly.
''now what?" Gen asked.
''let's gather more information about this world such as the origin of the three abilities and the world, about the nobles if we can trust them, because based on my opinion they may be quite greedy and cannot be trusted, And more other stuff that it's such a headache." Claude explained the plans.
moments later, As the three of them walks they asked to the knights about stuffs, The knights hears a shout from the scouting team on the abandoned village shouts and screams, Even though it's far away but they heard the scream of the knights and their clashing swords sounds.
''COMANDER!!!! WE NEED HELP AND BACK UP!!!!
*Clang! cling! cling!*
As one of the knights arrive from that area who is out of breath as he stated and reported while catching his breath.
''some-body call the comman-der there's an E-rank demon!! Tell the captain!!"
the knights rushed to find the captain while trio are getting desperate to the situation.
''what should we do! Let's help them guys" Rein asked"
''our enemy is a demon right, the captain said that an F-rank demon can destroy a village you know. Let's just wait for back-up" Claude coldly suggested.
''But the knights is gonna die holding it!" Said Rein desperately while clinching his hands.
''yes we are even blessed by the sage and got good equipment's and we're not gonna use it for this situation" Claude answered eye to eye with Rein.
''if we use it they will be suspicious of us we don't even know what's gonna happen to us if they know, plus we don't know if we can win against that thing'' Claude stated.
Rein desperately wants to save the knights however Claude does not agree which made Rein angry,
suddenly They heard a loud bang on the abandoned village, the sound of an explosion.
''what the hell is that?" Rein asked, surprised.
'' is it an ability of a demon?" Gen asked curiously.
''anyway it's way too dangerous didn't you see that it explodes like a grenade" said Claude.
''let's go! i don't care" Rein insisted.
''what! Didn't you heard what I said!"
as rein and Claude are still arguing on the moment, Gen made them stop by saying
''but this might be our chance to negotiate to a demon, Our mission is to unite the demons and humans for the calamity after all"
''Gen is right Claude"
''..... ugh damn it FINE!!! Both of you are persistent" Claude gave up.
the three of them rushes to the site they finally arrived and saw about 20 knights getting wipe out by one demon
''the entire platoon got wiped out!?" said Rein in disbelief.
''the demon is too strong" Gen noted.
''now what were already here" Said Claude facepalming.
rein and gen felt the pressure that made them stop moving for a moment out of the explosive power of their enemy, while Claude complains, the demon noticed them and tried to cast explosion magic towards them.
''watch out let's run"
Rein warned as The demon successfully casted it's magic spell "explode". on the front of the trio appears an magical energy gathering a suddenly ignited, and the three of them got knocked up.
*Boom!!!*
''urg!" Rein pushed the two.
''damn it, are you idiot Rein!" said Claude, mixed with anger and worry.
''Rein you took the explosion head on" Gen inquired, feeling bad at rein.
The captain and the vice captain of the knights finally arrived on the scene seeing the entire platoon got wiped out which made them know the demon's power.
''men's surround the demon and don't stick together" the captain declared.
''my unit's take the injured to the camp immediately for treatment'' Claris commanded, Dashing while riding a horse.
Gen and the others felt relief after seeing the captain and vice captain arrives with their fleet
''they finally arrived Rein, Claude" Said Gen with relief.
Rein opens his pocket storage ability and took the item "bracelet of regeneration and coat of vitality" and equipped the items
''I'm okay let me heal with the bracelet of regeneration, i be good, it's okay"
Rein is recovering with the effect of his bracelet of regeneration, he felt warm, however Claude got angry at rein because rein used his body as a shield for them.
''sigh you shouldn't use your body as a shield for us, do you want to die idiot, remember, we are the only three on this world alone, don't dare to die bastards.
''the effects of the items are good I feel okay already" Rein Tries to ease Claude's temper.
''then let's take our weapons and prepare for battle" Said Gen, pulling his sword from his pocket storage.
Gen have gathered his confidence and successfully forgotten about their mission about negotiating.
''you mean negotiation?" Claude asked, as Gen said battle.
''.....yes"
the three of them are preparing while the knights and The captain faces the demon head on, they clashed using his great sword and the demons claws.
The captain strikes the demon with it's sword however the demon deflected if using it's bare hands, henceforth the captain gives more swords strikes and slashes until he hit the demon on its shoulder.
The demon got mad and use its spiritual skill called *dark fist* that can inflict more damage. The demon punched the captain on its stomach and face. The captain got knocked and pushed away by it's strength poorly like a kid.
'' *huff *huff ....this damn demon"
'' captain!..... Damn you demon! How dare you!" Claris was angered in the sight of her mentor to be beaten by a monster.
Claris charges forward to the demon using it's great sword and heavy slashes with rage.
''take this demon haaaaa!!!" *Slash*
however The demon demon blocked the sword by it's hand but his hand got damaged by the heavy slash.
The demon kicked Claris sending her to a distance and cannot move.
''damn you woman you shall pay with your blood!"
The demon used his magic again the explode eliminating the troops behind him
Boom!!! explosions came in different area where knights stands. the explosion killed most of the knights on the scene which made the captain fall in rage.
''you demon!" leaping straight and *slash*
however the demon successfully blocked the captains attack and made a counter punch right at his stomach, therefore the captain used his last strength for the last slash.
''argh!.... n..not yet! Haaaaa!!!*"
*Slash*
"tsk stay low bastard"
*punch*
''urgh!"
The captain has fainted due to the pain and damages that he took from the demon.
The remaining knights shoots the arrows and charged forward which made the scene full of sounds of arrows shooting and army warcry and sound of swords and death.
''how dare you demon for knocking out our captain! You will end now" the knights charged with bravery and sorrow.
''damn these bastard's do you all want to die early huh! Then die!!!" The demon charged forward to the knights eliminating the archers first on the back.
the sound of the scream of death from the knights were loud
The demon used it's magic again to take down the remaining knights with it's explosive power. "boom" until most of the knights have fallen.
''puny Humans"
However Claris already prepared to charge another attack to the demon because of the knights to buy her time even if they will die, Claris was really angry, charging forward without the fear of death.
''haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!"
*Jump*
"haaaa!!!"
*slash*
''this dammed girl"
The demon blocked claris charging attack and heavy slash by using both of its arms. The demon kicked Claris again at the stomach making Claris lose her consciousness and strength .
''ugh *cough *cough "
''die! Explode!!!" The demon Casted.
As the demon used its magic to Claris the mana reaction appears on front of Claris and about to explode. However as soon as the spell explodes Rein came to defend Claris from the harsh explosion.
Holding his big sword called "Cleaver" to use as a shield and wearing it's coat of vitality and bracelet of regeneration to take the damage and impact head on
''you bastard!!!" Rein screamed.
*Boom!*
''Rein?!"
Claris became worried to Rein because he took the explosion by himself to protect her and she cannot see Rein due to the smoke of the explosion until the smokes fade away.
''it's okay Claris"
Hearing Rein words and voice made her feel safe and warm like relaxing and relieved, she doesn't know why even though Rein is a stranger.
However as she sees Rein sacrifices himself for her protection and sees Rein face. she began to fall in his grace, she doesn't know why but she feels safety.
And so she falls unconscious from all the damage she taken.
''stay there Claris let us handle this"
Rein made sure to make Claris feel safety by carrying her to the side of the surviving knights, on the moment Claude pushed Gen to communicate.
''let's do it now. All the knights are down. Gen be sure to communicate to the demon ''said Claude''
''alright~" Gen sweated. *this is freaking scary huhu*
"damn it's scary that i forgot that I'm just an shut-in without any contact since ages, you know i don't like socializing" Said Gen trying to Push the duty, however Claude pushed him forward.
''umm... Sir! We would like to talk this out"
''huh!? Talk what?"
''... we would like to become your allies~"
''huh? bwahahaha! do I look like an idiot to fall for a human cheap trick"
''no we just wanted to unite with demons and make the humans trust demons as companions" Gen lost his composure and was sweating a lot.
''...your objective is clearly impossible. Human and demons are killing each other for countless of years as if some mere words can change that brat"
''*he doesn't trust us and won't listen to us this is dangerous* - "then can you let's this situation go and leave us alone with the knights?" Gen asked.
''as if I would, Idiot humans. Why would I spare your lives and flee without gaining something"
''then let's have a contract" Gen suggested.
''contract?"
''you will go away and we will be your allies, Us three and all the knights"
''ohoo why would I want you three to be my allies? Your weak very weak plus I don't want the other demons to think of me as a traitor so, since I'm in a hurry I end your life very fast I have to find something on this place"
The negotiation that Gen made failed therefore they have nothing left to do but fight.
''*damn it we failed to negotiate*"
''Claude? Should we?" Gen asked by gestures of his face.
''there's nothing we can do but defend our lives" Said Claude.
''we take you demon!" Rein stated.
''ohhh having the spirit now to fight because the negotiation didn't go right? hahahaha then let's fight morons!!!"
