45 Sword Emperor Carol Chod

" From this day forward you are my first disciple. " Hito looked at Leon who had his head bowed down while they both were sitting in traditional Japanese seiza style, then Hito's eyes shone with golden white light which flashed and entered into Leon's head. As soon as the golden white light entered Leon's mind, a prompt appeared on his status,

[ Ding! A inheritance is being transferred to Host from NPC Hito Sanada, do you choose to accept the Inheritance? ]

[Yes/No]

Seeing this prompts Leon was ecstatic and hurriedly chose 'yes'.

[ Ding! Accepting inheritance from NPC Hito Sanada. ]

[ Ding!' Tachi sword legacy and Heartless sword style ' inheritance received.]

[ Ding! 8 star occupation detected " Heartless Swordsman " ]

Tachi Sword legacy is a the sword legacy of Yukimaru's sword school based on this many great sword styles and swordsman were born. Hito's Heartless Sword style is enlightened from the Tachi Sword Legacy.

Even though Heartless sword style turned out to be a 8 star swordsman occupation Leon was not disappointed as he knew ones the Heartless sword Style was Implanted into his Sword embryo his occupation will advance to 9 star.

[ Ding! A sword seed ' Heartless Sword ' detected.]

[Ding! Would you like to advance your sword embryo into a sword spirit by Implanting sword seed ' Heartless Sword ' in your Sword embryo ?]

[ Yes/No]

If Leon chose to Implant sword seed ' Heartless Sword ' in his Sword embryo right now, his sword embryo will advance and evolve into a sword spirit, ' Heartless sword Spirit '. but this process is quite long and requires time after hearing the commotion outside Leon decided to postpone the advancement of his sword to when he returns to World terror after clearing the scenario to receive the rewards. Advancing in the world terror will not only be 100% safe but more efficient than advancing here. Even though advancing his sword embryo into sword spirit would increase his strength, Leon knew that his current condition was not Ideal so chose to postpone his advancement.

After postponing the advancement Leon lifted his head as looked at Hito and called out loudly " sensei "

Hearing Leon call him sensei a unknown vague irrational feeling climbed into Hito's heart, the serious Hito suddenly became confused, scratching the back of his head he thought ' I did not want to form any ' Cause and effect ' in this world until I have cleared my master's name and found the truth to my father's death. Uh!' With a sigh Hito shook his head and then removed the Owari no Ken hanging on his waist and looked at it for one last time remembering all his good memories attached with the sword before passing to Leon.

Leon received the Owari no Ken from Hito carefully and respectfully with both his hands, soon prompts appeared on his Status,

[ Ding! Host received a 3rd tier Scenario Item ' Owari no Ken', For more info on Owari no Ken please check the status. ]

[ Ding! Host received the title ' 6th generation Heir of Tachi sword legacy '. ]

[ Owari no Ken, Is an ancestral sword passed down through and wielded by generations of 'Tachi Kendo school' Heir.

Whenever the host equips the Scenario Item Owari no Ken, the Host will be entitled with the Title ' 6th generation Heir of Tachi sword legacy ' gaining extra 20 % critical damage against yokai's. ]

Receiving Owari no Ken from Hito and reading the prompts, Leon's mouth corners curved upwards into a huge smile and his eyes shone with great ambition.

.........

28 hours before James and team entered the Terror World. Inside huge assembly hall,

" Master it's confirmed that Sword emperor Carol Chod will be the representative for the GreatSword University during this year's graduation exam for our City. '' reported a servant to a oldman sitting on the throne.

" Um! Okay you can leave now" ordered the oldman. When the Servant exited the assembly hall, the oldman broke into a manic-like laughter. Seeing this other people in the hall were puzzled and confused.

One Middle aged male covered in shiny sky blue armor stepped forward and asked " Patriarch, If you share the reason for your happiness we could also laugh with you. "

Hearing this the Old Man's laughter abruptly stopped and he frowned. Seeing the frown on his father's face the middle aged man swallowed his saliva as he took a step back.

This Old Man is none other than the current patriarch of Barnard family, Ed Barnard. Currently they are in the Barnard family assembly hall, the assembly hall is big with just one throne in the center and some chandeliers for lighting. Except for the throne for the Patriarch there are no chairs for the other members of the family to be seated, therefore all the elders and family members were standing in the hall orderly according to their status in the family. The middle aged man was none other than Leon's father , even though he was not the first born and the most powerful after the patriarch he still had a higher status thanks to giving birth to a son with a S class Ability. If it was someone else who had interrupted him the patriarch would have punished him with 100 lashes.

Leon Barnard as the Next heir of the family natural stood next to the patriarch, seeing his father in predicament he looked at his grandfather and said, " Grandpa, why would some as exalted as Sword Emperor Carol Chod would take time out of their busy life to attend our city's graduation exam as a representative of GreatSword university. "

Except for Leon no one in the family had the right to address the head of the family anything else other than Patriarch, not even the most favored concubine of the patriarch.

Hearing his grandson ask the correct question, Ed happily answered " It's because of you my child. "

" what! " exclaimed Leon confusedly, the rest of the family in the hall were also confused and were doubting what they just heard.

" Haha! Confused, I was too when a deacon of the GreatSword University contacted me ordering to receive his highness Carol Chod. " laughed Ed looking at the confused expression on his grandson's face.

" Grandpa, I do not understand, even though our family is one of the prominent families in the city it is still nothing compared to the City lord and the Big Three. Why would the GreatSword University ask to receive Sword Emperor Carol Chod, I am afraid someone is playing our family. " Leon would be the happiest if his family received the sword emperor but Leon knew this was too good to be true and his first instinct was to suspect that someone was intentionally targeting their family.

" Great minds think alike, I thought the same and used the family resource and some of my old contacts to confirm the story. It's indeed true that the sword emperor Carol Chod is really coming to our city as the representative of Greatsword School and you are the reason for his decision. " Ed was very excited by this news and was barely able to keep his expression calm as he explained the matter to Leon. " But do not be Happy too soon, the one we should receive is just one of the few avatars of the Sword emperor, many of his highness's avatar's are also visiting different cities with childrens having S class sword related ability. "

" Apparently he is looking for a Disciple. To choose a suitable disciple in a fair manner his highness has prepared an assessment, I don't know what the assessment is. I do know that the assessment is based on the graduation exam. The details of assessments will be explained by these avatars of his highness once they reach the cities. This is a big opportunity for our family and you Leon, I have all my faith and trust in you that you will successful become the his highness's disciple " Ed then looked to his first born Leon's eldest uncle and said " Even though it's just one of the many avatars of his highness it is still a sword emperor in strength, you make all the preparations required for receiving and entertrainment of his highness, take money from the treasury the preparations should be more than just satisfactory, make sure every need of the avatar is meet with. I think I do not need to remind you how important this opportunity is for our Family. "

Knowing the reason behind the sword emperors visit Leon's eyes light up with ambition if he is able to become the disciple of the sword emperor then he will also become the core disciple of the GreatSword University. Rest of the young generation of the family looked at Leon with a gaze filled with envy, resentment, discontent, spit but desire and covetousness.

While elder family members in the hall were enthusiastic and ambitious because even though in the family he was nothing less than a servant to Ed, for the world and society outside they were the symbol for envy, jealousy, respect. All the people envied them and desired to be them. None dare to be disrespectful to them. they did not mind bowing to someone younger to them, what mattered to them was the progress and development of the family.
