she smile once again for a brief moment as she began walking back to the fields " get some rest, get some quest and level up kay " she said not looking back as she exit the town. Emi promise to get her to town but couldn't stay with her not after what she had done abandoning Suzu not she couldn't she had to be alone after all her main goal was to clear the game for her to survive, being a solo player gave her more xp but came a greater risk, however it was a risk she was willing to take in order to be free. As she was getting out of hearing range she yelled " and don't be shy about partnering with others it will make things a heck of a lot easier " as she spoke those words she became a dark silhouette in the darkness of the night disappearing into the horizon.
Yoshimura turned back to the town and decided to get a quest so she could get some leveling done. One quest caught her eye which was the world of swords, the description read that there was a shop that had swords as far as the eye could see. Maybe in the future and if she was able too, she would return to the place and maybe buy a weapon. But for now she wanted to earn that weapon.
Yoshimura soon departed from the town and stopped just at the edge of the forest. "I may be alone...But my will burns brighter than the sun!" She chuckled a bit after her encouraging speech and entered the forest shortly afterwards.
Yohimura crouched down and began to clear the leaves and grass until she revealed a hatch with a sign attached to it. The sign read: "The World Of Swords" in faded letters. She opened the hatch and it revealed an elegantly carved, white marble step lit up by torches leading into the earth. Her figure soon dissapeared into the stairs leading below.
She spotted a counter at the other end of the room, as she got closer she could see a small sign on top of it which read "On lunch break, be back in five minutes." She wondered why there were no swords in a place that was called "The World Of Swords" but looking behind the counter her jaw dropped.
Behind the counter, there was a massive room with hundreds upon thousands of swords of immense variety being stored behind it. She couldent see the end of the room and all she could see was swords. "Amazing..." She spoke, staring at all the swords. "Well...its been a long time since anyone has come to my shop." A rough voice suddenly called out, and a figure claded in metallic silver armor and carrying ten different swords on his back came into view. "Greetings miss, welcome to The World Of Swords." The figure then bowed before speaking again. "As per usual for my customers, I would like to challenge you to a duel not to the death, but to see if you are worthy enough to wield one of my blades. All you have to do is strike me anywhere on my body to win, you lose if you are unable to continue the fight." Yohimura agreed to the figures duel, and nodded in agreement.
After a few seconds, the figure charged at her at a dangerously fast speed and swiped at her with a horizontal swing, Yoshimura reacted with a parry and received a small portion of the damage but stopped the attack. However that was just the beginning, the figure soon unleashed a fury of attacks giving her no room to counter attack and forcing her to either parry or dodge the attacks coming her way. Her health soon dropped to the yellow color and that's when she took action, she parried another attack before going on the offense. The figure blocked or parried her attacks with relative ease but after losing his footing, he was forced to leap backwards. Yoshimura took the opportunity when he was not looking to unsheathe her Wakizashi and hid it behind her curved sword.
After the figure regained his balance, she activated her sprint skill and ran towards the figure with both hands on her sword, at least that's what the figure thought. She swung her sword in a horizontal way and as the figure was moving his sword to parry it, she revealed the wakizashi from behind her sword and she heard the figure chuckle before speaking. "Well played." After her sword struck his armor, she received a notification that she completed the quest.
