Just what is he asking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have a general idea of what the Demonic Continent is like...But it can't be that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master wouldn't have asked me such a simple question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't get it to do you...sigh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he disappointed? What Am I supposed to say here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It makes sense I'm confused. This is the first time I've been here and although yes the Demonic Continent is dangerous...but Master Arken is with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him here, nothing will touch us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what am I supposed to answer with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alan, do you see the ground?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, as he bent down and dug up the dirt with his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feel it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I followed his instructions and grasped the Dirt below...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing?

I have a bastard that constantly annoys me and is ready to manipulate me. He always makes me be prepared for things like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of him...his actions are weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He's gone completely silent. I haven't heard anything from him. This is weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>very Weird. No Nightmares to haunt me, No headaches...No nothing to weaken my mental fortitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh well, Let's just leave it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wai-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what you lack Alan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master's words caught my attention.

I haven't focused on increasing my rank for quite a while now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My rank?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I answered. But I was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, for your age your rank is excellent. And besides your far stronger than what your rank entails.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained as he dropped the dirt he had in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take out the Ame-No-Sakahoko.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I did as he instructed. Master Arken held his hand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave him the Ame-No-Sakahoko. Master Arken held it for a while and looked at it with a sorrowful gaze. It was the weapon of his old colleague and Brother In Arms after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It chose you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said.I think you should take a look at\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I confirmed. The legendary spear, Ame-No-Sakahoko had chosen me, not the other's far stronger and worthier than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had chosen me, despite the strength of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what that means?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked. As he gazed at me. His eyes pierced through me. I felt like I could not hide anything from his profound gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didnt know why. I didnt know why the Ame-No-Sakahoko had chosen me. I knew it was not because of my strength. It did not choose me because of my potential...then why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you are similar to Hiroto Himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am similar to the Legendary Spear Saint. How so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiroto was just like you, He was cold, collected...But most importantly he had a heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A heart which wanted to help. And wanted to be 'helped'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His explanation was truly spot on. The latter part of it. I don't know about the former though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiroto...was complex, he was cold at first. He didn't hesitate to kill those who hurt him or others he cared for...but he had a heart. He could be the coldest person or the Kindest person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a character that I failed to understand...but he was caring. He cared for those under his protection and truly fought for Humanity. He had a deep hatred for the demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was conflicted...Sometimes he wondered what his true purpose was...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I listened to him quietly. I wanted to know what the Legendary Spear Saint was like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was that kind of person huh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ame-no-sakahoko chose him when he was at his lowest. When he was...bad. When his heart was filled with evil I guess you could say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he was questioning his own words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The spear of righteousness chose the spear saint when he was evil?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked. When you took in the name of the spear and the fact that it was a weapon with a soul that could choose its master...why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Maybe because it saw the righteousness in\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was because he saw the righteousness in his heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword saint completed my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It saw that in you as well. But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword saint stopped in the middle of his sentence, he pointed the Tip of the Ame-No-Sakahoko at my heart and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't know how to use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...I beg your pardon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know how to use the Spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. You don't know the Ame-No-Sakahoko.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I've read the description and know how to accurately use the move set?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alan. The importance of the weapon is not always in the effects in the Description.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said. I thought about his words...The importance of the weapon is not hidden in the description. Doesn't the description say everything about the weapon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have yet to hear the Soul of the Ame-No-Sakahoko.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras agrees.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha Agrees.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now even those two are agreeing with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've asked Oliver to give you a leave until the end of the Year, until the Tournament between the academies at the Capitol.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura increased. I could hear the rumbling of thunder in the skies...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master gave me the Ame-No-Sakahoko and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to increase your proficiency with the Heavenly Spear art until you can hear the voice of the Ame-No-Sakahoko. Until the end of the year...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt shivers run down my spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"𝐁𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with that my training began.\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-02T11:57:26.352Z",1,"novelbin.me","d7bf710aafbb35c23c3ded80a3095f521441b08d50d1cb9faa1ba5aa4e5f9b81","the-villain-s-story-chapter-314","the-villain-s-story-chapter-312",910,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-villain-s-story-cover.jpg"]
