Heretic: Antithesis to Pantheon

Start Of Being A Sword chapter 6

As Februus enters the room the three people stop they're fighting to look at him in wonder as his snow-white skin looks so out of place compared to their tanned and ragged bodies as he walks in and sits on a bed they just scoff at him and separate to do their own thing Februus tries to start small talk with one closest to him who has one eye missing and hair that's as red as blood "Hi I am Februus and seems like I'm your new roommate" Februus reaches his hand towards him but he just scoffs and turns around starting to rest, Februus just laughs awkwardly and puts his hand away looking at the other two who already lay in the bed "seems like it was a long day for everyone so let's do introductions tomorrow" Februus lays on the bed and slowly starts to fall asleep as his eyes close he swears he heard Yin tell him "I will love you forever" as he sleeps he sees golden water flow all over his body and make his body cleaner as water turns dark slowly washing his negative emotions away.

The next day as he wakes up he looks around the room not seeing anyone he dresses slowly and walks outside only to find a tall woman with a whip waiting for him "You maggot did you sleep well" he is shocked but answers "Yes I did thank you for asking, miss?" as he finishes his answer he can feel whip wrapping around his head then slamming into the ground as miss steps on his back "Maggot you are late for your morning training so as punishment you will not get breakfast and you will run in circles around the training yard until you learn to wake up on time" the whip loosens releasing him for its grip then she kicks his side walking away not waiting for him to get up and start running around

After a moment of collecting himself, he starts running and as he runs he sees familiar three people fighting again but laughing as they see him run past them again and again then as they sit under a tree and he finishes his lap he lays on the ground and slowly crawls towards a shade with every movement forward his stomach and arms rubs against the ground making them bleed from crawling and just as he reaches the shade bell sounds making everyone else run outside in the middle of the yard as he looks at them he takes support from the wall then walks like drunken sailor forwards others dumping into them than standing next to them while a familiar tall woman stands infront of everyone starting to yell "Now that everyones here I will say again my name is Vale and I will be your trainer for couple days then we will find every room theyr own trainer to manage and train you so you better not even try to be memorable as I will not want to teach any of you but as im obligated then everyone pick a partner and start sparring" as she finishes she walks to shade sitting on someting while eveyone else ignores Februus even his roommates ignore him sparring together leaving him nearly alone but then he sees other person who looks like some nobles son he walks to them "eee hi do you want to spar with me?" he just nobs and takes a weird stand then signing for Februus to come to him 

Februus just puts his fists up walks toward him and swings at his face only for them to dodge his attack then he feels something poke his sides and stomach as he wonders what it is that he loses control of his legs falling down and as he falls he can feel something trying to push out but as he hits ground yard gets filled with loud rippling sound making everyone look at him and see as his pants start to grow mushroom inside them and as it rows the smell starts to get worse.

Everyone starts to run away and Vale gets up starting to look at Februus and his sparring partner but as she gets closer she starts to cover her nose and kicks Februus's ass mushroom making it explode inside his pants and on the training yard "Adam you bastard what did we say about using acupuncture on new blades who have not learned even the basics yet now clean this mess up and release him from the paralysis then go to the punishment room" Adam pokes Februus and helps him up letting him see how nearly everyone is laughing at him and how his roommates are rolling at the ground laughing as Adam walks Februus away he starts to talk "So new blade did you see everyone there they will be your future enemies and those that did not laugh are part of my circle so if you want to survive here then you have to join my circle for your safety and so you can pay all of those who laughed at you can pay for it

As Adam keeps talking they reach the well and he leaves Februus there to clean himself up as he starts to walk away Februus looks at his back until he vanishes then starts to strip fully naked and pulls a bucket full of water up to clean himself with a rag and cleaning his dirty clothes in the bucket as he washes them he can hear peoples laughter from the training yard as the stains slowly start to rub away from his clothes as he finishes his washing and cleaning he sees others walking forward a large temple

He dresses quickly and runs after them struggling with every step as he reaches the temple his roommates block his way in "Hey little shit boy your not allowed to enter the temple so go somewhere else" Then they punch him making him fall and close the doors to the temple as the doors close Februus gets up starting to walk towards the training yard again as he walks he can see Vale laying under a tree sleeping he ignores her and walks to the training weapon rack picking up a normal wooden sword starting to swing it like an axe cutting down to split wood as he swings sword he slowly loses his mind becoming one with the nature

As Februus swings his sword he starts to feel wind and light surround him after a while his focus gets broken as he feels a hand touching his shoulder "Maggot it is already sundown it is time to go rest" Februus bows and puts his sword away then walks back to his room as he enters he sees his roommates laying in beds laughing and as he pulls his beds covers he sees a pile of trash and animal poop on it, Februus just rips his bed's sheets and throws them out of the window then takes his pillow and going to training yard to sleep there away from these pests

As the day ends Februus notices someone walking in the darkness into the storage room as he watches he picks up a training sword and slowly walks toward the storage room slowly entering and pointing it at the mystery person as he looks at them he cants recognize them as it was too dark but seems like this might be spy or assassin so he swings at them only to be dodged and sword slams into the table knocking books and unlit candles down as he lifts sword to swing again the mystery figure has vanished making Februus wonder who it was but now he will close the door and stay here to guard the storage room against danger as the last light hides away and darkness takes over he slowly starts to fall asleep against the door

The next morning Februus slams his head on the ground surprising Vale who comes to check for something "Maggot why are you sleeping here?" Februus stands up "I came here to train more but saw some mysterious person walk in so I chased them away and stayed here to guard our temple resources" Vale looks at him and smiles "Well seems like I was wrong yesterday as seems like at least you will have some use maggot" Februus blushes and rubs the back of his neck "it was nothing I just did my duty as Justiciars blade" Vale wipes his shoulders from dirt and guides him out "Now get in line and today Adam will teach you hand to hand combats basics so you can learn the basics of fighting" Adam nobs and gets close to him"Okey maggots today everyone expect Adam and the new guy will be running laps with weights" others look at Februus and Adam with burning hate then walking into the storage room to gear up as Februus looks at Adam "So what I should do?" Adam punches him right on the nose
