Manaka and Koni was stop in one of the checkpoint of the kingdom.
"Perhaps there's a fee?" Koni said to Manaka
"Ma'am and Ms. Toll fee"
"I'm sorry but, we don't have any money"
"Huh? hmm... An elf and a human traveling each other... That's weird isn't you're race is currently in lockdown?"
"Yes, I escape. My name is Koni Zachary, the 2nd sister of Zachary family, one of the founding founders"
"A nobility? I'm sorry I shall accompany you both"
Their both escorted to the building next to the toll fee
"Hmm, I will examine both of you. Put you're hands here for a second"
Koni put her hands top of the box. And Manaka also put her hands after Koni
Koni was surprised that she doesn't need to used her blood.
"Hmm, You're name Is Koni and Zachary is you're family name, You're good to go... For you. You don't have any record, we have you're affinity and anything but no existing name"
"That's because It's my first time here"
"You're perhaps transported by one of the gods? That's not unlikely to happen. 140 years ago, a brilliant inventor was transported in this world and change this nation. After his dead. The prototypes and invention has been copy and change this nation"
"I'm not likely a transported by one of the god. I live in a small tribe"
"I see, a Tribe that's likely... But how you two meet?"
Koni explained to the head guard.
"I understand now, My name is Ule Belo. the captain of the 25th platoon training division, right now my unit where assign here as a toll fee to travelers and merchants as a 'Training' "
"Captain? It means you're the head in this place?"
"Yeah. Where currently 30 units here. Most of the units are patrolling the passage. And the rest is here"
Manaka looks confused and said "What's a captain"
"Oh Captain is the leader of a unit" said by Koni
"I kind of understand it"
"Since you're a Nobility of another country, we will assign you to the guess room until a carriage is available"
"Wait, I'm in Exile at this point, Isn't It bad if the people who want to kill me is in a different country"
"Don't worry, Nobody will know, you're secret will be keep with in me"
Two of them left, and was asked to stay one of the unused rooms. Two trainees comes and handed out small bed for them to sleep
"Damn, It's been a while I sleep in a bed" Koni said while laying in the bed.
"Yeah, Where been sleeping in plain grass for a month roaming the place. To think that It took us 1 month just to get here"
"If It's a carriage we might be here in 1 week at best without problem"
"Oh yeah Koni, I'm been thinking what are you going to do after this?"
"I wanted to restart my life. I always been amaze with the outside world... outside the kingdom, So I want to adventure without restraint"
"Oy Oy, Despite you being the olders here. You act as a Child"
"hey I'm not that old in elf age. That's basically a small child"
"I mean you're in 20s Pfft, I'm only 17 lol"
"Oh you done It!"
They tease each other when another trainee comes to offer up food when.
"Hey miss-"
They stare each other and said "I- I guess I will putting it here" He left and the room is quiet "I think we should change our habits"
14 hours later- morning year 999
Someone is knocking at the door. "Hey wake up two ladies" Knocked knocked
Koni first one to wake up. "What is it?" She open the door "Captain Ule? Good morning"
"Good morning Ms. Koni is you're friend awake?"
"Not at the moment, She isn't like this when during our travels. Perhaps she deeply in sleep because of the bed she was given"
"Oh She likes it? That's not even the highest quality. But I guess she likes it"
"Is their something else to tell us?"
"Oh I almost forgot, wake up you're friend where going to the other building next door"
Koni, and the sleepy Manaka walks to the next building
"New people? Oh, What do you want"
"Yeah, New people, can you give this two foods"
The chef sigh and said "This will be in you're bill captain"
"Don't worry I will pay it when you gone back to the capital"
Few hours later.
Koni and Manaka left the building. They look at the road. "That's still far away"
"Wait are you really going to walk that far again?" Koni said to Manaka
"I mean we walk for a month to get this place why not?"
"They already given as a carriage to the capital just wait"
Suddenly a large bell suddenly heard to the top of the building.
A lot of people in the gate open up and rush inside. Koni asked what's going on, one of the guards said "An attack is happening"
"It's the 4th time of this month" He said again.
"4th time? Mean that this happen already?"
"Yeah, Despite us Trainees patrolling here that's the best opportunity of bandits to raid and steel this outpost, most of us is inexperience in combat a lot of us got wounded but thankfully they immediately, run away the moment their frontline break"
"Is there anything we can help?"
"No stay, It's dangerous to go outside-"
One of the soldiers suddenly shouts "Incoming fire!"
10 arrows suddenly rains down the area. two wounded "We need a stretcher here!"
Koni blocks one of the attack using her affinity Water. "Where strong enough to attack them afar, you don't have any Affinity users in you?"
"We have but, they're still in the capital-"
"Let me help with the arrows, Manaka ready with you're sword if they manage to get inside the gate outpost"
"yes!"
Koni walks to second floor where Captain Ule is.
"Ms. Koni? What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to help, Is everything okay so far?"
"Yeah, two wounded from the attack looks like everyone in the frontline is still okay"
Koni looks outside, Is you're guards have a hard time? She said
"Yeah, But that's most of our guards is in the frontline, if anyone fall... It will be a bad"
"Have you seen the bandits?"
"45 in total, But I'm worrying is the person in the middle, He most be a good affinity user"
"Hmm, He knows his stuff, Looks like he uses Nature affinity, in defense and offensive this is going to be bad for us"
Koni looks. and one of the soldiers get hit "Captain! The soldiers is getting killed, please retreat and attacked them at the gate"
"I knew about that but- Fuck it, All Troops Retreat to the base! We will have archer support-" Suddenly arrows rains down to the skies "Fuck this is why I'm afraid to give away my position"
Koni shouted to Manaka down below "Manaka! Change plans Get ready!"
Koni uses her Affinity [Water]
"I Will help the soldiers who retreat, don't let the enemies get inside" Manaka shouted to Koni.
Manaka hold unsheathed her sword and hold it for awhile. "Enhance- projection, visualization, Copy- dual punhal de carrapato!" Suddenly Manaka summoned two identical but different branch small daggers. And her tone changes. She Immediately rush to the frontlines. While the gate is being open.
one of the guards that is opening the gate, was shocked how fast she immediately got outside.
14 soldiers is struggling to retreat. But Manaka appeared and slice 4 bandits. They notice her and immediately form a defense line. 4 lane and 3 person. Manaka attack uses her projected sword to attack the first shielder on the first line. The sword penetrate the wooden shield and stab the man behind. The bandit saw the attack. The dagger on the ground suddenly moving and attacking them on behind. "Ah! Help!" everyone on the line escape while being attack by the two daggers that Manaka summoned. Suddenly more organize bandits immediately counter attack Manaka scratching her left arm. But suddenly wash out by Koni's affinity. "Thanks!" She said. Some of the Soldiers manage to retreat to the gate.
Manaka, unsheathed her sword and said
"Devisualized" as both of the daggers disappeared as dust. but still attacking upcoming bandits
A few minutes later. The Bandits Retreated and left the area. Manaka treat the wounded whose unconscious or begging for help in the ground. The Gate open and ton of soldiers scattered and help the wounded. Koni comes to the gate and started helping the soldiers.
