Time-Line: 14th April 2007
//////////////////////
Change of POV: 3rd POV
[Quest: Stop 'Holy Sword Project'!]
[Description: Send forced to rescue poor children from Devils hiding in Church!]
[Progress: 10/10]
[Rewards: 1,000,000 Gold, [Instance Dungeon: Goblin Lair] [E-Rank]
[Failure: Isaiah becomes 'Yuuta Kiba]
[DING!: Updating!]
{Ding!]
[Quest: Complete! Rewards are sent to [Inventory] and Currency Tab!]
Morgan looked at screen in front of her with a satisfying smirk dancing on her lips. Even though some may think this was not worthy '1,000,000' they would be wrong.
The moment 'Isaiah' was rescued and taken somewhere else, thus not becoming a part of Rias' peerage, was where a large butterfly effect happening. While many things could or could not interact with predetermined path.
The 'effect' as large as 'taking a character from main cast' was sure to prove effective.
And..
This [notification] welcomed her today since she woke up. She slowly tilted her head in direction of the clock.
She brought her small hands towards her eyes first, to rub her eyes from the sleepiness.
Then she saw the time on the clock.
6:30 AM.
Good, she can stay in bed for more than 20 minutes without any problem.
She sighed softly, as she outstretched her limbs for a moment, before yawning loudly .
~YAWN!
Then she glanced towards her quest for one moment more. Yeah, this was certainly a nice surprise!
Morgan closed the [Quest-Tab] screen, and sincerely did not expect another one to pop up.
[Quest: Training]
[Description: It's time to get stronger! For the next week, [Player] will be getting this daily quest!]
[Progress:
]Sit-Ups: 50/0]
[Push-Ups: 50/0]
[Squats: 50/0]
[Run: 5km]
[Rewards: 3x Skill Points per Daily Quest]
Morgan's eyes widened as she though, "This is good, very good indeed. My [Stats] is poor right now. And if I get 3x Stats Points every day in next seven days I'll have 21 Points. Then I should put them all in 'Agility' and buy long range weapon.." She murmured to herself, she is correct all right.
Agility with her small frame would certainly pay off, especially since adding points in Intelligence would be next to useless right now early on.
What is she supposed to do? Send every single point into Intelligence, buy a spell. Then use that spell one time and fall unconscious due to mana exhaustion? Truly, while she might be 'Le Fay', her blood-line is un-awakened.
At current rate in future, putting points into Intelligence would be useless. She could only hope that her blood-line would allow a large increase in Magical Power.
She sighs for the moment and starts thinking back to her 'favorable type of fighting'. Which is using spear. She wants spear and that is.
[Author Note: Honestly, I read many fanfictions where MC is simply a 'Swordsman' or 'Magic Caster'. But I rarely read one where MC is spearman with large amount of Magical Power. This inspiration came from. What if 'MC' becomes something like Scathach?']
If she buys spear, then she won't have to worry about Goblins coming to her, she would be abale with her superior speed simply force them back, without a risk of major injuries. After all, most Magic Beasts in Dungeons use swords!
Like Lancer-Class from Fate.
She closed the window, she knows how to finish it now anyway.
Today she going to go to school, it's Friday anyway. By the time she returns from school, running would be completed. And everything else she will complete at home or 'Physical Class'.
Though, it would have been pretty 'outsanding' for a girl like 'her' to complete all these exercises by 50 Times. When everyone else can barely 5 or 10.
Bah, doesn't matter. If she does it, she might even get extra mark today for 'activity'.
Added bonus, probably.
So with plan in mind, Morgan closed her [System]'s screen once more, before getting up from her body.
Her usual routine.
Then following by undressing herself, putting on new clothes and replacing her old pyjamas before putting them into basket, to deliver to washing machine now.
She then proceeded to enter bathroom, to brush her teeth of course. One she finished it, she checked her watch for the moment.
Her eyebrows slightly raised.
Time sure flies fast.
6:45 AM.
"Good, Grandmother should have prepared breakfast by now." She thought out loud, thus she then walked down-stairs leading towards the living room below.
As she walked, her already 'superior' nose smelt it.
She smelt, the crispy smell of Potato and Sausage together combined for breakfast, her favorite. Or at least one of her more 'priorities' when it comes to food.
Though, she is glad for not inheriting 'Artoria's' appetite for food, otherwise she and grandpa might have gone bankrupt.
But she, as if 'possessed'.
She 'automatically' walked towards the kitchen. And there it is.
Two plates, one for Grandmother and one for herself. Grandmother is already eating from her own plate, she noticed Morgan entering the room before casting a small smile towards her before gulping the food down her throat.
And waved towards Morgan.
"Come here Morg! Sit up and eat!" Grandmother motioned at Morgan's seat who happily walked towards her own plate of food, before sitting up on her chair.
Morg was certainly not the weirdest nickname Morgan ever had, but she certainly think it's there in top 10.
She meant, just check it! Even if her name is Morgan, shortening it into Morg seems ugly! And sounds ugly,
But as always, what food makes it better is what you drink with it. So Morgan's hand moved to a bottle of orange Juice, opening it and sipping the juice in her own glass/
Sometimes she wonders, why does she like tea now over her usual soda? Was it her british blood acting up?
"Grandma, I forgot to mention this to you yesterday." Morgan started, before throwing one potato in her mouth and chewing it down. Her grandmother Elizabeth cast a questioning look at her. " But next Monday, School is going to hold 'Parent's Conference'."
Again was left unsaid.
This confused Elizabeth even more before she asked. "Why so soon? It's only two weeks into school, and it's your first year too.." She questioned, her voice laced with confusion.
Certainly, grandmother already has children and now has to go through raising 'second generation'.
She saw already three generations of teachers and the change of education system.
Morgan shrugged her shoulders lightly with a sight. " It's because one of the boys in our class beat up some bully from Class one year older than us. And apparently they are holding 'Parent's Conference' to talk with parents and 'proper behavior for students'. Apparently, you can't even defend yourself anymore. "The last part she grumbled as she eat another piece of sausage.
Tch, even in anime world, same rules still exist.
Elizabeth of course heard Morgan's murmur, if her eyes narrowing was any indication.
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes at Morgan's statements. "Tell them I won't be coming, I have important matters to discuss than play around with foolish and re##rded Schools." She drank another sip from her own glass.
Morgan noticed, it was glass of cold tea. Then she diverted her attention back to her own plate.
Morgan nodded, as she eat another piece of sausage.
"And if a bully dares to do anything to you, I want you to hit them as hardest as you can! No exception, no mercy!" Ordered Elizabeth, before both of them laughed at her remark.
Truly, she loves her grandmother.
"Don't worry Grandma, I'll hit them where sun doesn't shine!" Morgan replied, causing her own Grandmother to wince.
Of course she knows, there was one boy causing troubles in Skate Park, and that same boy tried to 'bully' Morgan, but sadly for him it didn't go well. Morgan hit him with full force to his groin, it might have been dirty but it's a valid defence attack.
ESPECIALLY if she now has 'free card' to use that move.
But even she felt 'sad' at using it though.
From that one hit, that boy changed his life entirely. Now he is like different person, especially once other girls saw how Morgan hit him in groin and once he attempted to bully them again, they proceeded to also hit him in the groin.
Ah, 'free teacher Morgan'.
It was nightmare for him, boy is probably traumatized. Which one wouldn't at his age.
But, back to the topic at hand.
Grandmother started talking once again.
"Today I will be working till 6:00 PM, so I will be coming late today. Ikari-San will be arriving at 4:00 PM, apparently today she has something personal to take care of." Elizabeth added as she eat another piece of sausage.
Before proceeding to cut the remaining sausage into pieces.
Morgan simply nodded as they continued to eat in piece and quiet.
They eat for another 10 minutes in silence, till Elizabeth stood up before taking both of their empty plates, then placed them back where other empty yet used dishes are.
Then checked her own watch as Morgan watched her.
"Well, It's 7:00 AM. I'm going but first.." Elizabeth said, checking her watch before walking up to Morgan and giving her a small kiss on cheek. " Be a good child before I come back!" She added before she picked up her coat and left the kitchen.
Morgan sighed softly, and let a small smile appear on her lips as she waited.
Leaving Morgan alone in the kitchen, then she heard 'click' of the doors opening before shutting.
A sign that she left the house.
"You can come out now." Morgan said, causing one of her 'guards' to 'reappear' beside her, thus stopping their stealth. " So, any news about our Team in Italy? "She asked, her eyes closed for the mean-time as she crossed her arms over her chest.
She waited for the reply.
The guard who revealed himself is the team leader of the Assassin-Tyoe Squad.
Suzuki Satoru was his name, he is Low-Ultimate Class to brag it around. A peak-A-Rank. And he certainly wasn't a humble guy to not brag about.
Suzuki, with quiet tone whispered. " Indeed, Morgan-Sama. Jeremy-San and his team successful rescued approximately 23 Children from the Church. But that's not everything.." He paused. Letting a dramatic silence to continue, but also waiting for a sign.
He got one.
Morgan waved him, motioning him to continue.
"They also discovered research documents of Valper Galieli, both from simple theory and proved theories till now but...." Suzuki waited for a second, gathering his thoughts. " They planned to eliminate children today and take what little of Holy Element they have to 'create some type of container for Holy Element' which would give normal Humans ability to wield Holy Swords." He added, as he watched Morgan eat intently.
Morgan already knew what he was talking about. Of course, she did not reveal every SINGLE detail she knew to her agents. Rather just 'basics'.
Such as, children are in danger.
Morgan hummed, she already knew about that. " Did they take those documents?" She asked, it would be better if they did. Such research would be wasted on disgusting Church anyway, better stop them from producing mass amount of Holy Swords wielder like in canon and thus stop Exorcist Rebellion before it even began.
After all, would Exorcists truly dare to rebel if their strengths are more than three times smaller than in canon? At least those Holy Sword wielders, that is.
"Indeed, they took every single piece of research, but left copies with less information than original ones. Left them half empty, as if 'they didn't reach that far in research'." He replied, this caused Morgan to smile slightly.
"This is good, very good. Just with this, Church's strength will dramatically drop, they won't be able to become as strong as they were supposed to." Morgan murmured to herself, Suzuki heard everything but he remained silent.
After all, it was not in his place to question his liege. Only to give the best support he can, and accomplish all tasks given.
" Good, you are dismissed. " She said, Suzuki immediately disappeared as he moved back to his group, far way from her. So he can rest to recover mana from Stealth, and for other member of the squad to replace him.
After all, while one stays 'invincible' near Morgan, other three rests to replenish their Mana.
-Germany- Unknown City
In one of the buildings owned by yet to be established 'Human Faction' is a blonde haired man, sitting on the chair, he crossed his legs as he watched through the window, and enjoyed beautiful view of the city beneath him as he drank a glass of whisky.
He softly sighed, as he gazed at the city below him.
His blue eyes 'shone' with interest.
"So they succeeded?"His voice rasped through the room, as another man behind him wearing black suit replied.
"Indeed Sir, Jeremy's Squad succeeded, they will be crossing borders today at night and request our help from Austria to cross borders to Germany, and avoid Church's patrols." His German accent sounded off, as Blonde haired man nodded.
Interesting.
"Fine, send a squad of 5 D-Rank Hunters to escort them from borders to Frankfurt." He ordered, man behind him saluted before exiting Blonde haired man's apartment.
Blonde haired man turned around on his heel before walking towards the table, and under the light his figure and appearance was revealed.
Blonde haired man, stood up in the light of the room, revealing himself to be Lennart Niermann Leader of European Department of Future to Be Human Faction.
Anyway.
He stood up, enjoying the view from his apartment before he drank the entire glass of whisky in one single gulp.
~Clak, he put the glass down on nearby glass-like table.
"Interesting times are coming, are they now? Lady Morgan Le Fay." He muttered to himself before he turned around and walked away from the view. "It bothers me, will you lead Humans up to next level.."
"Or will it be their demise?"
Then his attention fell on the glass again. " Or will you be like your ancestor? The Morgan Le Fay from Arthurian Legends..."
He sighed softly to himself.
"I'll have to contact Lady Morgan to summon more Hunters, Germany is becoming restless, Church is barely doing their work in restraining strays." He paused for a second. " Fine, I'll do it myself."
A new era is starting to turn around.
'Original Set of time has been broken, world is becoming restless, new time is arriving. And yet, we are here to witness first rise of Mankind in the era of Supernatural Creatures.'
-Japan- Tokyo
In one of the more extravagant apartments is Goto Ryuji residing, he has been ordered to 'Investigate whereabouts of Youkai's'.
For further detailed report on their Factions that is.
"So Jeremy was not useless after all....? Maybe I underestimated him after all." He thought out loud as he drank wine from the glass he was holding.
For Goto Ryuji, there is nothing better than wine at morning when he wakes up. Acts better than coffee in his 'humble' opinion.
"Indeed Sir, Jeremy's Squad completed their mission, by tomorrow they should cross the Austrian Borders and hopefully enter Frankfurt with Mr.Niermann's help." A man, clad in black suit reported the current situation to Goto Ryuji, it's early in the morning after all.
But Goto was a person who never cared about such nominal aspects. The key to survival was always informations.
Informations and informations, always needed and required.
The one who has most informations, yet correct ones will decide the fate of the inevitable battle to happen.
That's how it had gone, and how it will always go.
Goto silently drank the entire glass of wine before he re-filled it once more.
"Good." Was everything he said.
Chapter Word Count: 2,735
Chapter Word Count before edit = 1,700
Chapter Word Count after edit = 2,735
Honestly, I was struggling to get past 1k Words for this chapter, I noticed that I need to write more interaction between characters.
And of course give Goto Ryuji more 'screen time'.
Next Chapters will hopefully fix that.
First Dungeon 'Diving' for MC next, week. First actions made by mc to get stronger!
And of course, first level up!
True story starts from here.
