The Story of Nexus (Female Harem x Male Reader)

Chapter 5: The Story of Life

Your POV

I was about to finish up and get out of this rigged drama. Advadu is surrendering, but I cannot stop my sword skill. Right before my blade hits, his father crashes in with his sword while blocking my attack from Advadu. I stop attacking as I drop my sword. "Uh, I heard that he's surrendering but I can't stop my sword skill. I don't know how and...!" I nervously explained it to him.

"I should be the one who is sorry." Advadu's father apologizes and bows to me.

"Huh?" I don't know why but the father and son relationship is never that easy to be acknowledged or connected. But why apologizing after I assaulted his son?

"To me, Advadu is the oldest son." He looks at him. "He was trained as the strongest swordsman to become chosen as a student for the Alibreta academy. But later on, he lacks judgment and acknowledgment with no kindness to the weaklings or other people. I will discipline him as promised for your victory."

"This is absurd!" Advadu spats as he got up, accusing me of murder because he thought that I denied his surrendering. "He tried to kill me with that blade, no matter if he wins or loses, he has no right to-!" He points his finger at me.

"You have no right to talk because I am the ruler of this village!" His father growls at him. "For this battle, the winner of this day is Y/n L/n!" He announces to everyone as he sheathes his sword. "You are lucky because the spirit that watches over chooses you. But next time, do not attack to deny the surrendering. That is considered to be a war crime. For more information, ask Heiya." He takes his son away by hand as they walk away. I look around, seeing everyone staring at me.

"Uh...hi?" I spoke to them while one of them starts clapping. "What?" Then I see everyone clapping.

"Well done!" One of the male civilians cheered on me.

"You really are chosen for that slate!" Another one said to me. A whistle blows as everyone is cheering on my success.

Ok, I thought that this is a fraud, but they are happy. Is it because of the sword skills I've made?

"Y/n!" A female voice came behind me. The footsteps closing in. I turn around and see...

"Heiya!?" I see Heiya closing in and having her arms hugging me.

"I'm so damn worried! I thought that you would lose no matter how weak you are!" She said to me. She's the strongest spear wielder class. She never uses her sword that often but with sub-class, she would have been the strongest than just a spear user. "I...I never wanted you to..."

"Fight was all that you have been worried about, but my story in this world has already been started," I reply to her.

"You said that you came from another world, right? I didn't know that you can use your sword on a basic level." -Heiya.

"It's just a cinch because I would never lose a fight against these monsters." I smile at her. "By the way, when are you free to tell me about your family?"

"Tomorrow after I help you improve your swordsmanship." She giggles at me. "Come on, I'll be cooking a special dinner for your success!"

I start to head back to her house while saying goodbye to Aquin. While we are eating Heiya's special cooking, I can hear Advadu's father scolding him for his inappropriate and abusive behavior. Heiya cooked her seasoned steak and vegetables while having a baked bread for me to enjoy. The way I'm enjoying this, it reminds me back when my original family used to eat together. My dad cooked a delicious steak while having oven cooked bread. My sister loves it and so do I. My mom has been making a salad for our healthy meals. I can't ever forget the times when grilled foods are so delicious than just putting the steak in a frying pan.
