The Reincarnators
chapter 38: the light sword

"i heard from duke elinstein that you're in a bad state, come with me" he said, who at the time was following Kazuto because he didn't have any strength to resist.

"yes, you saw it right" said Kazuto, referring to himself and he must admit that he looked pitiful at the moment.

"we're there" said Redith, who led him to an empty alley where there was only him and Kazuto.

"where is this, ?" asked Kazuto who was unaware of the place where he was.

"i'm not the kind of person who's good at words, so we use the old way" said he who threw at the kazuto and released the sword he she wielded and pointed it at the kazuto, "now let's go forward," he said that when it shot to kazuto.

"oi katia, where you were, let's hurry the class will start soon," said ren who when it saw the face of katia who blushed especially in the eyes that indicate if she previously cried.

"ren, I need your help" Katia said.

"hm," said ren who turned his body towards katia.

"ayo, kazuto shouldn't you be more powerful than this, use your strength and fight me," said Redith who attacked from all directions leaving kazuto cornered and eventually he retreated.

if kazuto was in his prime then it was certain that this kind of attack would have no effect, either, but at this moment not only was Kazuto's body weak but also his mind was completely muddled so he could not think of any plan to strike back, he had lost the place where he would return to, he had lost his mind, there was no reason for him to rise, his house had been destroyed, his promise would not be fulfilled.

and when that kazuto intended to attack the redith but the sword he was holding slipped out of his hand due to the lashing of the redith sword.

"you have lost," said Redith, who, when he put his sword back on, began to rain down upon the redith and kazuto, "when I met you, when I met you, I assume if you're the lucky kid who just saw the world, that's why I tested you by challenging you, to be honest I looked like a fool back then," said redith who remembered her fight with kazuto.

"every slash you make is really strong, you don't use any style, you don't use any special attacks, but it's enough to defeat me, therefore I began to practice and find meaning as to why I wanted to become a knight, and I finally remembered it, it was because I wanted to protect them, my family, and the citizens of the hexion kingdom, he said, from then on I began to return to training, honing my skills and sword as best I could, compared to that you were holding a sword at the moment, you were really pitiful, your attack did not feel that it was very light, at all, are you playing around huh," said Redith who held onto the collar of a kazuto shirt and threw it on the ground.

"heard Kazuto, I heard that if your village is destroyed, is it because you are depressed, is it because your sword is light, is it because you have lost everything you stopped to try," the word redith to the silent kazuto, "answer kazuto," cried the redith who wanted kazuto to respond.

"that's right, I lost them, the place where I was going back, the place where my family lived, the place where the people were waiting for my return, everything was gone, it was useless for me to stand," he said that when it shed tears that made the rain become more heavy.

"saddening," said the redith that made kazuto turn his gaze towards the edith with a surprised face that then changed with anger, "you're pitiful, you're sad, do you think they'd be happy if you were like this,? Do you think if they wouldn't be sad to see this sad state of yours,? " said redith who started yelling at kazuto.

"heard Kazuto, there are things that might not go your way, that's what life is like and it depends on you, whether you intend to stay like this, or going back to fighting it is your choice" said the redith who took his sword on the ground and left the kazuto in the rain who after that turned to look at him.

"and there's one more thing I need to say, your home is not just there but here, too," he said that he kept walking away from the drenched kazuto in the rain with his eyes shining again like finding its light again.

'he... Right, thank you.. Redith, ' thought that Kazuto was walking and intended to return to leon's house.

He was walking a little more relieved now, as if the fight had woken him up, he felt that it was time to go back to school, he continued walking through the residential complex where he saw familiar figures coming out of the store carrying bags and umbrellas protecting him from the rain.

"oh, kazuto," said Katia who when surprised to see kazuto who was soaking wet from the rain.

"katia, what are you doing here, and what are you buying, ?" asked Kazuto who was thrust towards the bag he was holding.

"who, ?" ask kazuto.

"you, fool," said Katia who pointed towards kazuto.

"oh, I'm sorry to worry you for a few days" Kazuto said.

"it's okay, then let's go" said Katia who invited kazuto.

"go, where, ?" asked the confused kazuto.

"to your house, you're soaking wet and I don't want you to get sick and add an excuse not to get into the academy," said Katia who was in front of kazuto then stopped and looked back.

"but if it's not more if you don't come, you could get the flu you know," Kazuto said.

when she heard that Katia did something she did not expect, something that made her regret her words earlier, which was to close her umbrella that made her uniform wet in an instant.

"k-katia what are you doing!, you can get sick,!" kazuto said that he did not expect that Katia would do that.

"yes, now we're both wet so it doesn't matter, right" said Katia who won't let kazuto get rid of her easily, he had already come all the way from the academy to meet him just to be expelled, sorry master but that would not be the case.

"no, it's not, but." said kazuto.

"but what, ?" asked Katia who was smiling, she knew that kazuto would not win if he talked to her so she only heard what kazuto said.

"it's not like the stuff you buy will get wet from the rain if you like it" he said, which made the smile on Katia's face disappear and replaced with a pale face, because he didn't think about it.

"oh no," cried Katia who saw the contents of her bag and as Kazuto said if now the contents were completely wet.

"i think it's better we're home than we're both sick" said Kazuto, who finally agreed and allowed Katia to come to his house, even if she had lost her spirit.

"by the way I haven't asked, but how did you get out of school, instead of now being the professor's lesson, ?" kazuto asked which led to one of the professors in the hexion academy.

"you don't have to worry, everything has been resolved" said Katia who was not worried at all.

"ehm, ok" and they walked with rain dripping their clothes.

Meanwhile in the academy there were 2 people who were talking in the classroom.

"so where's miss carnatia elinstein, ren pendradrum's student, ?" ask the professor to ren.

"she was taking care of her new boyfriend, the professor," said a smiling ren with a thumbs-up, which earned her a sentence of standing in the hallway until school.
