''Who are you?'' Asked Ruri.
''I'm the one that can help you, Ruri Michalka...'' The tall guy answered.
''I don't understand all of these... What's happening? I'm confused... really...''
''Girl, you are the chosen one in Nantalgium's Prophecy.'' Says Colt, the short guy.
Ruri seems confused abotu the Nantalgium's Prophecy thingy, she doesn't know anything about that, she's kinda caught up right now.
''You know? You, Ruri Michalka, is the one, the one that can bear the greatest power ever, you are the kind of godslayer that borned once for a very very long time, or to be more precies, 500 years. Ruri, you're a genius.'' Says the tall guy, and he continues..
''My name is Darucard Spiegel, and I can bring you to revolt the whole Shinigami clan.''
A spark of electricity strikes through Ruri's every single nerves in her body. What his man had said, is that all true? The only thing that she wanna do before she die, perhaps is to bring peace to this land, by destroying the whole Shinigami Organization.
''What you mean you can?'' Asked Ruri, tempted to know about the answer.
"I have everything that I can, to dispel the evils..'' Grinned Darucard.
Colt started to get bored and eventually started to lie on Ruri's bed. And he said:''Gosh, this is going to be a while, I will just take a short nap first, wake me up when you're done, Darucard...''
Ruri is stunned. She never thought things could happened so fast, but on the other hand, he is kinda excited at the same time.
''Just some knowledge for you, The whole Shinigami Organization is divided into 10 Divisions, each division has their Chieftain and their Vice-Chieftain. Of cause, chieftain's skill is ridiculously powerful, but I'm pretty sure you can overrun them easily, I can teach you all the skills you need to learn. And also, besides the chieftains and vice-chieftains, you have to face another group of terrors. The Clannads. They are said to be the guards of the leader of the whole Shinigami Organization, and they are even more powerful than the 10 chieftains and vice-chieftains, and no one had ever see their faces before. But there are only a few amount of them. So, are you in? For this dangerous job?'' Says Darucard.
Ruri doesn't know what to say. It all happens too fast. But she wanted to avenge her parent's death....
She nodded her head...
''Well done, Ruri, you have my promise, I will train you.'' Says Darucard.
''Wake up! Lazy ass! Time to get going!'' Darucard yells at Colt whom is lying on the bed sleeping soundlessly.
Although Ruri doesn't know what is the horrible things that she is going to face in the future, but she is ready against all the odds.
That night, Ruri followed the two of them back to their place. It's rather far from the town. Continued toward the north of the town, they arrived at a farm.
''So, here's our secret training place.'' Smiled Darucard.
''Phew, finally we're back. Gosh I'm getting really old, my legs don't really listen to me these days, I'm going to take a nap again, call me when you guys need me ya.'' Colt complaint.
And all that left is the awkward silence you had in the starry night outside somewhere in a vast land of green grass. Darucard is packing up some of this papers and stuffs in a small room. It's filled with bookshelves and loads of papers. And the ink on the table, waited for his own to be use. Ruri followed behind him without a sense of direction. And finally Darucard found something out from all the messes.
''Well well well, let's look at what we've got here.'' As he flips through the thick book.
''Ruri, this is it. The Book Of Reaittou.'' Says Darucard.
Ruri remained silence, but the sign of question mark and lots of questions can be seen on her face.
''Well, Reiattou, a type of katana, is what we use to battle. All the chieftains and vice-chieftains know how to use that. Only the strong ones can control it. It's the combination of Reiatsu and Katana.''
''Reiatsu?'' Ruri wandered what is that.
''It's the spiritual energy of one's body. The amount of one's carry equals to how powerful he is. Well, you can gain the max reiatsu of yourself by years of training. But for you is different, you're the one from the Nantalgium's Prophecy, you can adapt it very fast, perhaps, a few days or maybe 1 day if you learn well.''
Ruri is shocked from hearing that. She doesn't even know how to wield a sword, so how can she even know how to control her own reiatsu.
''This is kinda ridiculous. How can I adapt it when I have no experience at all?'' Asked Ruri.
''Well, there is a way you can gain your own reiattou. And I'm going to help you. And you're going to fight Colt.'' Smiled Darucard.
Ruri is in shocking status once again. Can she really beat that short guy up? And then Darucard continues with his wisdom words.
''Every reiattou has their own name, and the wielder of reiattou has to learn the name of their own in order to fully control it and pushes the power of their reiattou to the limit. All the shape of the reiattou are same, in the first stage.''
''What do you mean by in the-first-stage?'' Ruri interupts.
''Haha, Ruri. Here's this interesting thing about reiattou. It evolves and changes. There are total of 3 stages of reiattou. First is the normal looking katana you have. Second stage is [First Tear]. First Tear will happened when the wielder of the sword has finally fuse their own soul together with their own reiattou. Every First Tear of every single reiattou is different. Once the First Tear is activated, the Reiattou will change form to access whatever special abilities it is capable of. Mostly in weapon shape, but there are others in other shapes too.''
''What about, third stage?'' Asks Ruri.
''Well, the last stage of reiattou is call [Final Tear]. To achieve it, one must be able to materialize and control their reiattou spirit. And there are only Chieftains can achieve Final Tear state of their reiattou. Most Vice-Chieftains only can have First Tear. To achieve Final Tear, it took years and years of training. And of cause, Final Tear is extremely powerful.''
''Mr.Darucard..'' Says Ruri.
''Just call me Darucard, my friend.'' Smiles Darucard while putting both of his hand into his pocket.
"Darucard... Do you have your own reiattou? And, can you show me your First Tear and Final Tear?'' Asks Ruri dumbly.
Darucard bursts into laughters.
''Soon you will see them, my friend, soon...''
And then out of no where....
''I thirst for your blood.'' Says someone in the darkness.
[First Tear, Thirst Wolf]
Ruri quickly turned her head back...
It's Colt, holding his second stage of reiattou. Well, actually it's not holding. There are dozens of soul wolves standing beside of him, thirsting for blood.
''Well Ruri, time to start your training.'' Says Darucard and Colt, and a grin on each of their faces.
**Can she eventually uphold herself and fight through all these? Please stay tuned for the next chapter.**
