Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 64: Kishida Hisafumi

A couple years back:
Kishida as a young boy had a normal life, one of a middle class. His father was a merchant, his mother was a maid to a powerful lord, and his grandfather was once a knight that participated in the demi human war. He was born into a class where he didn't learn too much of suffering or of pain.

He was able to live a normal childhood, away from the pain compared to Waraki, who suffered a lot compared to him. When he was around seven years old, the little boy met a legend from the demi human war, Wilhelm van Astrea. His grandfather, Tadao Hisafumi, had brought his old friend over to chat for a bit.

The two had kept in contact after the war, even if it was very little. Kishida looked at the man and could recognized that he was strong.

"Mister, who are you?"

"Ah, my name is Wilhelm Trias. Who might you be?"

"My name is Kishida."

"Well hello there Kishida, how can I be of assistance?"

"Are you a friend of grandpa?"

"Don't you worry grandson, he is a friend. A very strong looking one who even bested the sword saint!"

"There is no need for you to say that."

"Yes there is and you know it, my old friend."

Kishida had heard stories of the Sword Saints and how powerful they are. Hearing that the old man in front of him was able to beat someone with incredible power made him excited.

"Wow! Amazing! Can you teach me how to be strong?"

"Hehe, let us check if your grandfather is alright with that."

Wilhelm looked at Tadao only to see the old knight getting up from his chair to go fetch some wooden swords. Kishida's grandfather was hoping that his grandson would want to learn how to use a sword, wishing to pass down his knight knowledge to someone he deems worthy.

He wished his son took the mantle but seeing how he had a passion for being a merchant, he didn't want to take that away from him. So seeing Kishida excited to want to learn to use a sword brought a bit of hope that the young boy will be the one to become a knight like himself. Seeing that Tadao went to grab some wooden swords, he told young Kishida that he will give him a lesson in swordsmanship.

The three stepped outside into the back of the house where Tadao gave both his grandson and his friend a wooden sword before going off to the distance to observe the little training session. As Wilhelm set himself ready for a fight, the two looked at each other for a moment before the old butler pointed his wooden sword towards Kishida,

"I will be on defense for now. Show me what you are capable of."

"Sure thing!"

A young Kishida smiled with confidence before charging towards the old butler, wanting to show what he is capable of. Wilhelm smiled as he blocked each attack of the little boy, seeing that although they are a bit sloppy, they are still pretty impressive for a young boy like him. He blocked for a bit before easily disarming the young boy, seeing that he doesn't have a strong defense.

"You have potential for a knight, young boy. But you must train hard if you want to become the finest knight of Lugnica."

"I will! This was so much fun! Thank you!"

The boy bowed at Wilhelm to show respect to the old man and gratitude before grabbing his wooden sword to practice his fighting style on his own. This interaction was important to the young Kishida, causing him to train everyday until finally he himself entered the exams of becoming a knight. That was when he first met his two best friends, Yabuto and Waraki. He knew that Yabuto was someone from the higher classes due to the clothing he was wearing yet Waraki was one that caught his interest.
