CHAPTER-10 Back to the city

The Story Of How i became a cosmic wanderer


" The Person that I spent the last three years of my life with, Goro-Sensei, is no more. I am all alone in this world again, but unlike last time, I can use Cosmic Power and have learnt many Martial arts from Sensei. Now, I have to decide what to do from here on. I think the best bet would be to go back to the city of Noxspire."

Adam-Kun takes the Sword that was given to him by his sensei and starts to head back to the city of Noxspire. As Adam-Kun was about to exit the Restricted area of the Forest, He heard some screams for help, and Adam-Kun rushed towards the direction of the screams.

As Adam-Kun reached the spot, He decided not to help them immediately and wanted to understand the situation. Adam-Kun saw that it was a group of 3 people: two females and one male. They resembled humans on Earth quite closely. The only difference was that the females had beautiful, iridescent-coloured skin. Their ears are slightly elongated, Reminiscent of elven features, and they have sharper teeth than humans. The male had the same features, too; the only difference was, his skin was not as smooth and silky as the females '. His skin was scaly and reminded of dragon scales.

" Airi-Chan, hold onto your weapon tightly, don't let go of it again, or we won't be able to kill this Thalrux."

"I know what to do, sister. This idiot of a brother bumped into me earlier, so my weapon slipped out of my hand."

"I am very sorry, sister. It won't happen again-"

" Ren, watch out, the Thalrux is about to charge at you"

"ahhhhhh!" Screamed Ren in fear

Adam-Kun jumps in and transforms his cosmic power into lightning element and slices the thalrux's head in one clean swoop. And Sheaths his sword.

"W-who are you? What do you want from us?" asked Ren with a shocked look on his face

"I just saved you, dude. Are you seriously asking me that question? You didn't even thank me, and then start to doubt me?"

"Who wouldn't be suspicious of a guy with overgrown hair and clothes that are all torn apart, and you smell like shit. What is a beggar like you even doing near the restricted zone?" Asked Airi

Adam-Kun doesn't want to tell them that he's been training in the restricted zone of the forest for the past 3 years, or about Goro-sensei. Adam-Kun makes up a story on the spot.

" I came to this forest just like you guys with my group, but then we were attacked by a rank 3 lightning rabbit. I was separated from my group about 3 years ago. This was very deep in the restricted zone, so my group members presumed that I was dead and ran away. I got hit on my head during that battle and lost my memories. I don't even remember my group members' names or faces. Since then, I have been trying to get out of this restricted zone alive, but there were so many rank 3 cosmic beasts that it took me 3 years to make it out. As I was about to get out of the restricted zone, I heard a scream, so I came running and I helped you guys."

"So are you telling us that you have been surviving in this forest by yourself for the past 3 years? No wonder you are so strong that you can slay a rank 2 Thalrux with such ease."

" I am sorry that my two siblings doubted you. My name is Yuzuki Tsukino, and these are my little sister and little brother. Introduce yourself, guys"

" I am Airi Tsukino. Why are you looking at my big sister like that, you beggar? Is it possible that you fell in love with my sister at first sight? hahahah"

" Now that you point it out, Airi-chan, he's been gawking at our sister since he arrived. You might be right with this one, Airi-Chan. By the way, my name is Ren Tsukino"

"Please don't mind my siblings, they act like kids sometimes, despite being the same age as us. You didn't introduce yourself. Do you remember your name?"

" Yes, I do remember my name, it's Adam"

" Alright, Adam-san, as a thank you for saving Ren, we will take you to the city and take you to a famous place to clean yourself," said Yuzuki

" Yes, I would be delighted if two young, beautiful ladies like Yuzuki-Chan and Airi-Chan were to accompany me"

"Y-yuzuki C-chan? and a-airi -chan? Man, you sure are quick to call ladies by their first name and add chan on top of that." Said Ren

Yuzuki chan and Airi chan both blush, and the whole group heads back to the city of Noxspire.

"The city sure hasn't changed in 3 years of time"

"What was that, Adam-San? Did you just say something?" Said Airi-Chan

"No, Airi-Chan, I was just surprised at how advanced everything is in this city"

"Don't be surprised yet, the place we are about to take you to will surprise you even more. The person who does the haircut and washes you is a robot. Everything will be automated."

"Wow, Really? I am super excited to go there now. But I don't have any universal credits."

"You don't need to worry about that, Adam-San. This is going to be our treat, so get as many clothes as you want and get a complete change of look"

" Thank you, Yuzuki-Chan. I've been meaning to ask you guys, but how do you earn universal credits? What job do you do? Are you guys wanderers?"

" We are not wanderers, Adam-San, although we are training by ourselves to become wanderers one day. Right now, we take missions from the commission hall. For completing each mission, there is a reward. It could be universal credits or a cosmic beast's core which is worth a lot on the market. We were in the forest to kill that tharlux for the mission we took from he commission hall. We are called Seekers."

"What is the difference between wanderers and Seekers, Yuzuki chan?"

"Seekers are private groups of people, or A single person who does missions from the commission hall and everything they do, the responsibility lies with them, but wanderers are acting on behalf of the government and protect the people from Rogue civilisations or higher rank cosmic beasts that are wreaking havoc in our section of the universe."

" I get it, Yuzuki-Chan. What elemental cosmic powers can you guys use?"

"I am a water cosmic power user, Adam-San" Said Yuzuki-chan

"I am a Fire cosmic power user, Adam-Kun, and my idiotic brother there uses rocky cosmic powers"

"You guys make a perfect team, Yuzuki-Chan can heal, Airi-Chan can deal damage with fire, and Ren-Kun can defend with rocky cosmic powers. And I think you said you were training to become wanderers, right? I will assume that you guys haven't attended the Wanderer Training Academy. How are you going to become a wanderer?"

"It's simple, Adam-San, for people who couldn't make it to the training academy. The Wanderer Headquarters conducts a tournament every year and recruits the top 15 contestants as wanderers. The tournament has 3 stages, and the content of the 3 stages keeps changing every year. The tournament is called "The Wanderers Draft"  We have never participated in The Wanderers Draft Before, but we are aiming to become Wanderers one day."

"We are here, sister, Adam-san. You just go inside this store, and the robots will get you cleaned up. You can customise the look you want and change your hair colour and clothes and stuff, choose some good stuff"

"Alright, Airi-Chan, wait for me to come back."

Adam walks into the cleaning store, Airi-Chan, Yuzuki-Chan, and Ren-Kun wait for Adam to come outside.
