KONOMURA:The Beginning Of The Journey

CHAPTER 3

~♛

   On the next morning, after Konomura helped some of the people that trying to find other survivors, Konomura then continued her journey. After a few minutes of walking, Konomura suddenly sensed someone coming towards her with massive speed. It was Chizuru chasing her from behind. This time it was not an attack but Chizuru has a favor to ask her. Konomura was confused with Chizuru act that suddenly chased her. Chizuru was trembling trying to voice her words out but suddenly she tells her "You are a very strong women! Even before I swing my sword towards you, I realised that just by watching your face you are very calm even though you saw a tons of destruction had been put onto our town. Since you defeated me just by using a bit of you strength, I was wondering... if.. you can train me to be as strong as you!". Konomura was shocked with the request that Chizuru ask her, then Konomura smiled and saw a glimpse of her flash back when she was a very small girl adopted by the monks of the mountain. She was a very weak and coward girl but the monks had been pushing her to overcome her fear and surpass her limit. It was a very sweet memory and can't be replace by anything else. From that moment, she saw the willingness of Chizuru to become a stronger version of herself. Then, Konomura tells her "I certainly will accept you but I have to ask you one thing. If one day you already become much more stronger than who you are right now, what will you do with that strength?". Chizuru were confused with Konomura's question but then she replied calmly "I will use it to protect my people in my town and the people that had been experiencing the same fate as us. I want to make the world a better place far away from the people like the bandits that destroyed out town". Konomura smiled again, "It seems like you have a clear vision of your request, most of the people with massive strength usually use it for dishonourable things but I am proud that you will use it against it. From now on, I will train you to become stronger and help you to protect your people". Chizuru was corageous with the training that Konumura will put upon her. From that day, Konomura finally had a companion along her side. Little does Chizuru know that the training would be as easy as she thought. It been a few day since Konomura and Chizuru left the town of Hielith. They were heading to the next town trying to resupply their supplies. While they were making their way, every morning Konomura will train Chizuru before they continue their journey. The first ever training she were given was to hit Konomura in the face. Chizuru thought it would only took a few time to do it but instead she got a hard time trying to punch her because Konomura keeps dodging her punches. It took her hours but she still can't get a touch on Konomura's face. Konomura was not even trying, even a single sweat had not dripped off from her skin. Chizuru were very exhausted but she still kept punching even though her arm felt like it will fall off. "Your punches comes to where my head is but you never toward where it will be next" Konomura suddenly spoken. "Figthing is not just about who is stronger or who will give up first, it is also about who has better stratergy and calmness during the situation." Konomura continues. Chizuru heard the word and trying to stay calm during the moment, as soon as she tries it, she faded out. "Chizuru.. Chizuru!" Konomura calling her name while Chizuru's sight is still pitch black.
