Takeshi Haruka POV:
Location:Shinohara household-
It's morning and today's date is the day our misfortune happened.
Today will as be the deadline of me staying, here in the village.
However I still think about staying and living life here at the village.
Even so, my quest for avenging all the people who suffered in that place. It had been on pause since I got here in the village.So a full day today will be my last day before I leave the village.

That will be something I would be missing while I'm gone. Mrs.Shinohara cooking.
Location:library-
The breakfast that Mrs.Shinohara made was delicious as always. I'm here at the library to learn about plants and creatures, for adventuring through out the magical world.
I made my way over to book section #9 this was the section about the known humanoid creatures.
I looked around the book section, there found two books that peaked my interest. The two book titles are named.
1.)Wild Plants of Isvan-
2.)Wild Creatures of Isvan-
I picked them both up, they weighed about 4 ounces just about 30 pages.
I started with reading the Wild Plants of Isvan.
I went over to a chair couch, then sat down on the nice comfortable chair. I then held the book in my left hand then with the right I opened the book.

I started reading and found 5 very noteworthy types of plants.These plants have ranks, ranking them from how difficult they're on finding them or how helpful/harmful they are to us.

(Author note: I wanted to name it a Minotaur, however that's Greek mythology, and the Japanese version of a Minotaur is Ushi-Oni and that thing was creep , I might add it to the story later.)
I finally finished reading all the books, I should put them back on the shelves and leave the library to go at the lake to do my training routine.
Location:Lake-
I was at the lake ,hmm I didn't drink any poison potion, so my physical condition is at 100% capabilities. Most of my physical condition was nerf during the whole 5 days of training and studying.
In matter of fact I haven't been meditating for a while now. I should get back to meditating. I'll finish my physical work then after take the time to rest and meditate.
2 hours later-
I finished doing my physical work, now all I need is to meditate, but before that I glanced at Spirit Rhyllia who was just watching like a total creep.
I then focused on sensing her Magical/Man force, than compared it with the lake.
I wondered if her powers came from the lake.The lake was still the most powerful thing I have ever sensed.Anyway onto my mental fortitude.
15 minutes later-
I'm done with my mental state, for now onto my sword techniques, I was thinking of doing them underwater.
However someone unexpected showed up at the lake.
It
..
Was
..
Yuto, the adult teenager who for some reason isn't glaring at me today.
Yuto slowly walks up to me and then says.
"Spare with me with sword!"
Yuto demand me, however it wasn't in his usual delinquent personal, more like he wants a real sparring session and will not take a no for answer.
Hmm if I say no then he might stalk me all day long until I say no.
"Very well."
I accepted his challenge.
He pulls out his wooden sword and did a stance similar to drill sergeant Haruki, I did my own stance.
"Ready."
I said.
"Ready."
Yuto said with an eager expression on his face.
Yuto at first didn't charge into me or used any type of Mana enhancement.
Yuto waited for me to make the first move, which I will comply.
I went in with a stab attack on his left shoulder area.
Yuto used some type of agility enhancement, then dodges out of the way before the stab strike connects.
Yuto moved to his right when he dodged the blow.Yuto then used a vertical slash strike at me.
I used my wooden sword , to parry his attack with equal force.

Yuto pulls back on his next attack, then does a charge slash horizontal while his lower body is lowered down into a crouching position.
I then mimic the same movement, instead of using speed with the attack, I used more force than normally would have.
•clonk

My attack, force his wooden sword to lose its balance and awkwardly lose his stance.
Yuto quickly recovers from the attack, then got into a more defensive stance.
Yuto is now taking the time to play defensive.
I quickly moved towards his left side, then made a strike down the middle right at his chest with a horizontal slice.
"Ahh!"
My attack landed with a 88% accuracy.
Yuto who had endured my attack, immediately recovers his ground.
Yuto who wanted to play all defensively early now switches into offense.

Yuto did 4 different attacks at me, however I blocked them with little to no effort.
Yuto then takes a step back, then channel all his mana into both speed and agility, forcing his physical abilities to be more aggressive.

Both our wooden attacks clashed, with both of us fighting to win the clash match up.
I didn't want the wooden sword to snap so, I took a step back.
"Why are you still holding back!"
Yuto asked, frustrated with the fact I'm not taking this thing seriously.
Instead of answering, I moved faster than yuto eyes could perceive ,then strike him on the side of his neck, then pulled my wooden sword back.
Yuto didn't have time to register what hit him, then tried saying.
"What w..as t..hat."
Yuto slowly loses consciousness.
Welp.
I then went over and did my sword training.
2 hours later-
Location:Cemetery-
I walked over to my fallen orphanage graves.
Gorou- red rose with a flower pot
Madoka-red rose with a flower pot
Nao- red rose with a flower pot
Hideki- red rose with a flower pot
I placed four red roses, into there flower pot.
"I know, I haven't done anything to avengeallofyou."
"Right now I don't have the strength, to finishthem."
"Don't worry theywillbefinished, so you guys can finally rest at ease."

Now then to spend my last day here with the Shinohara family.
Location: Shinoharahousehold-
I walked out into the living room, the whole family of the Shinohara family is here. I walked up to them and stated.
"Today will be my last day here with you all."

"What!"
"Huh!"
"Why!"
Many questions where thrown out.
"I'm going out to adventure all over Isvan."
" I see, this is something that's already been made up."
Mr.Shinohara says fully convinced.
"Well if your already made up your mind then we can't really change that."
Yuichi said with a soft smile.
"Welp you better take care of yourself out there."
Yoshito says knowing full well that I'll be off on my own for a while.
•sniff
•sob
Mrs.Shinohara could barely contain her tears.Mrs.Shinohara walks up to me and gives me a small hug with a gentle smile.
"Take care of your health, make sure to eat properly."
Mrs.Shinohara said with a gentle smile.
"I'll go make dinner."
