Chapter 5:

Spa Day!

Prophet of A Destroyer!


(As Aoki then awakens in his guest room the next two days later, a knock was heard on his door and opens as it was Roselyn's little brother, Fenius smiling and laughing then hugs Aoki as if he was his big brother with a bright smile on his face.)
"Fenius: Good morning Aoki!"
"Aoki: Oh- G-Good morning Fenius, did you sleep well?"
"Fenius: Of course! I actually have something to show you!"
(Aoki was then lead by Fenius downstairs and was introduced to a spa-clothed Reika and Roselyn who was pleased that Fenius brought Aoki down.)
"Roselyn: Thank you dear brother."
"Fenius: Anytime, sis!!"
(He then runs back to his room with a smile on his face as Aoki was confused.)
"Aoki: What's this about?"
"Reika: Isn't it obvious? We're going to a spa and we're inviting you, human."
"Aoki: Are you sure you're okay with that? I'd be third-wheeling since its the two of you."
"Roselyn: Oh come now, its the spa owned by the royal capital! Its normal for men and women to go to the spa together. You're welcome to stay here of course if you wish, Sir Toshiharu."
"Aoki: Well.. Okay I'll go, but I'm not dressed for it."
"Roselyn: It shouldn't matter, everyone dresses differently! Now come on, its spa time!!!"
(As time passed, Aoki, Reika and Roselyn then journeys to the royal spa as Aoki was then curious on Vuella's whereabouts.)

"Aoki: That reminds me, where is Ms. Vuella?"
"Reika: She insisted on shopping so its just the three of us for now."
"Aoki: I see.."
(Aoki then looked once at Reika and realized he forgot to compliment them both.)
"Oh, I forgot... You two do look really pretty today."
"Roselyn: Huh!? O-Oh.. thank you.."
"Reika: I appreciate the compliment, human."
(Reika hid her blushing with a straight face as it was the first time in a long time she was complimented. As time passed, the trio has then arrived at the royal spa where Roselyn and Reika was relaxing in the women's spa bath and felt immediately relieved.)
"Roselyn: Ahhh..~ My goodness its been such a long time I even felt this good."
"Reika: What's that suppose to mean, might I ask...?"
"Roselyn: ...Hehe..! Not telling!"
"Reika: Now that's mean when I ask. But I won't pressure you, it is private to you after all."
(As they laughed and continued to talk, Aoki was relaxing in the men's spa hot tub as he then noticed the same voice in his head as before.)
"???: Thought you was finished with me, ya brat?!"
"Aoki: Y-You again?!"
"???: That's right its me again, the one who took care of those bandits that time. Keep in mind you coward little prick, I ticked off their leader and now they're coming for your ass."
"Aoki: WHAT?!"
"???: That's right. Instead of me being awakened to fight your battles, you're gonna handle this yourself and don't think about going lights out on me during your fight. I will personally drag your soul out from heaven and force you right back into your damn body, understand prick?"
"Aoki: WHAT DID I EVEN DO TO YOU?!"
(The voice then laughed as he finally realized Aoki did not know who he was.)

"???: You really don't know me huh?"
"Aoki: No..!"
"Banri Arahisa (Magician Of Darkness): Very well, then the name's Banri Arahisa. Don't forget it, you damn prick."
"Aoki: Ugh... Now why do I have to handle your fight?!"
"Banri: Because I want to know truly if you have what it takes in a fight or not. In fact, to ease the stakes a bit, I will add this: If you even lose this bout, you will die and I will eat your soul and claim your body as my own!"
(Aoki was suddenly now scared as he almost shits himself in fear but was suddenly embarrassed but then sighed to calm down.)
"Aoki: Fine.. I won't lose..."
"Banri: Good, glad you're seeing things my way!"
"Aoki: This is hell..."
"???: Excuse me?"
(Aoki then noticed another voice which startled him completely.)
"Aoki: O-Oh hey there..!"
"???: Apologies for startling you, I assumed someone else was in here with you."
"Aoki: Oh.. no.. j-just me really."
"???: Don't be ashamed, I don't judge anyone if they talk to themselves. I do it all the time to keep my mind focused."
"Aoki: O-Oh.. really?"
"Arthur Williams (Royal Knight): Yup! Oh, I never introduced myself didn't I? I'm Captain Arthur Williams of the Royal Knights, you may call me Arthur however."
(Aoki was then feeling a bit more at ease.)

"Aoki: Aoki Toshiharu.."
"Arthur: ...Did you say Toshiharu? I could've sworn I heard that name before."
"Aoki: Oh! Uh.. n-never mind!"
"Arthur: HA! Doesn't matter either way, would you mind if we had a man to man talk?"
"Aoki: Uh.. sure."
(After the hot tub, Arthur and Aoki took a walk around the royal spa as they continued to talk.)
"Arthur: So you're actually pretty powerful magic wise but everything else is D-rank?"
"Aoki: Yup.. I can't really win a fight like this."
"Arthur: Then why don't you just increase your physical abilities? You're strangely a bit muscular despite your skinniness."
"Aoki: Well.. I used to work out a lot before uh-.. never mind.. don't worry."
(Arthur then chuckled and pats Aoki's shoulder.)
"Arthur: I believe in you pal, trust me. Just promise me you will increase your physical abilities. That way, you'll be of more use to anyone!"
"Aoki: Hm.. I will try, thank you Arthur."
"Arthur: Don't mention it!"
(Arthur was then receiving a call from the Royal Capital as he was summoned.)

"I'm afraid this ends our little talk, remember what I told you Aoki. You're gonna do great things if you surpass your physical limitations."
(As Arthur got dressed and left, he then makes his was to the capital as Aoki then took a deep breath and felt more confident thanks to Arthur. Suddenly, Reika and Roselyn noticed the dressed Aoki a while later outside the royal spa.)
"Roselyn: Aoki! How did you enjoy the spa?"
"Aoki: It was very relaxing- Wait, did you call me by my first name?"
"Roselyn: Well yeah, since we're outside the palace, I always call people by their first names."
"Reika: It seems you've relaxed enough, human."
"Aoki: Yeah, I just hate how we got to leave the Royal Capital soon."
"Reika: About that, me and Roselyn has decided something but we'll need your final say, Roselyn has offered us to keep us as trusted allies in the royal home. This also means we can keep our given guest rooms but we needed your conformation before we can actually live here."
(Aoki then thinks about it for a moment as he then had an answer.)
"Aoki: Honestly, the offer sounds pretty sweet but-"
(As a fast moving elemental blast was launched towards the Royal Spa, the area suddenly suffers a tremor as the shockwave of the attack effects and pushes Aoki back as Roselyn was then protected by Reika's nullifying force field.)

"Reika: That's why I always keep a force field up, no matter where I go."
"Roselyn: Who was that?!"
"???: Where is the one known as Toshiharu...?"
"Reika: Now what business do you have with him?"
"Uyekita Komio: I'm Komio Uyekita and I'm what you may call, a Double A-Rated elemental user. It seems you and the princess there is affiliated with Toshiharu, so you must die!"
(As another attack was launched, Reika walked towards Komio without a care in the world and summoned four negative orbs which she commanded one of which to absorb the elemental properties and feeds it into her negativity.)
"Reika: Princess Roselyn, take the human and stay back there. My energy is able to act on their own accord so no need to worry about any incoming attacks."
"Roselyn: R-Right!"
(As Aoki was suddenly getting back on his feet, Roselyn was then by his side as Reika then placed them both in one of her four orbs to protect them as she was now left with three.)
"Uyekita: So you plan to protect your friends and fight me at the same time..? Foolish endeavor for you if you ask me!"
(A floating orb of red flames appeared then separated into three hundred tiny red orbs.)
"Ember Bullets!"
"Reika: Sigh.. You power-hungry individuals always manage to piss me off."

(Reika then points her finger towards the three hundred bullets and turns her finger clockwise which increased their explosion time which then explodes the surrounding buildings in the royal capital which then gives Uyekita the opportunity to land a fully charged elemental wave at close range in front of Reika. After the hit connected, the elemental blast was then sent directly into the sky as the entire area around them was charred with third degree burns.)

"Uyekita: Hehe... That was too easy.. Such big talk for a big bad goddess.."
"Reika: The only thing easy is believing how cocky you are."
(Uyekita was then surprised that Reika was not hit by the large scale attack which triggered him to jump back as Reika fans the debris away with her hand.)
"Uyekita: Hmph... Damn brat."
"Reika: Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve or is that it? Fire is strong but not in my category anyway..."
"Uyekita: Is that so..? Then have a taste of this..!"
(Uyekita's aura then turns into a dark greenish color with three purple-flamed skulls flying above him. Reika watched as she was not phased by his new revealed magic.)
"No mere warrior has won against my Necromantic magic! Soul Magic, Hellish Shadow!"
(As Uyekita's shadow was manipulated into its owner fighter, Reika then delivers one glare with her white and golden eyes at the shadow which then dissolved with a small yet faint scream which then recoiled into Uyekita as he felt the shadow's pain of dissolvement.)
"Reika: You've ticked me off enough, its my turn now."
(Reika suddenly then vanishes and appeared in Uyekita's face which gave him a very nervous look on his face as a tear was running down his head.)
"Boo."

(After Reika then says "boo", a powerful burst of wind blasted Uyekita at such fast speeds, he was then blasting through buildings in the royal capital until then was directly outside the gates with bruises and opened wounds then quickly gets back to his feet to land another attack towards Reika which she then holds Uyekita's hand without warning to nullify his next attack. Reika then lands a indenting fist engulfed with negative energy into his stomach which forced him to vomit out half of his rib cage piece by piece and wheeze for air. Reika then kicked him to the side and turns her three orbs into one massive destructive orb.)

"Pathetic lowlife, your existence was a mistake. Just like your gift to breathing this air."
"Uyekita (Pained): D...D-Damn.. y-you..."
(In an instant, the entire surrounding areas within a 150-mile radius was completely eradicated by Reika's destructive attack and created an MASSIVE crater which showcased a portion of Reika's destroyer god power and delivered a shock of surprised onto everyone, even Aoki and Roselyn's faces as they witnessed the insanity of her strength. Reika then returned to the capital and frees them from her orb as Reika then powered down into her base form.)
"Aoki: T-That..."
"Roselyn: Lady Reika, I had no idea your strength was... extraordinary for a goddess.."
(Reika's ears suddenly turned red as she blushed and lost character.)
"Reika: H-HUH?! Well.. I-Its.. not really anything.. Just doing what a destroyer would d-do.."
"Vuella: HEYYYYYYYYY!!!!"
(The three then sees a multi-bag carrying Vuella running towards them with a smile.)
"Did I hear fighting?!"
"Aoki: Yeah.. you did. Reika um.. killed someone."
"Reika: The correct word is "destroyed" not "killed." Get it straight, human."
"Aoki: Fine fine.."
"???: Lady Reika, Sir Toshiharu!"
(The four then noticed the king and queen of the royal capital along with the worried Fenius as he first hugged his sister Roselyn then Aoki.)
"Venali: What has happened here?!"
"Roselyn: Father, mother.."
"Ophiel Musili (Roselyn's Mother & Empress Of Magic): My dear..!"
"Aoki: It was an attack..."
(Aoki then explained everything that happened as they all returned to the palace.)

"And that's why there's a massive crater fifty meters from the palace."
(The king and queen then discussed the next course of action.)
"Venali: My dear, do we have an opening for Royal Knight exams?"
"Ophiel: I believe we do, my darling."
"Venali: Lady Reika and Sir Toshiharu, we personally wish for you to join the Royal Knights, you will be granted your own official status along with the rank of a captain!"
"Reika: Just one question, your majesties. If traveling to another region, will we be able to have our ranks remained?"
"Venali: Of course! Royal Knights are the cornerstone of integrity, honesty, loyalty and support to all innocent bystanders, no matter what the region!"
"Aoki: Well..."
(Aoki then looked at Roselyn along with the royal knights guarding the three then finally was going to say his answer before without an interruption.)
"Me and Reika would like to become the Region of Magic's Royal Knights!"
(Reika smiled at Aoki's response as she agreed with him.)
"Ophiel: Then its settled, the exams will commence about a week from now so until then, do not worry about trying to impress the judges and just do your best! That is all for now!"
(As Reika and Aoki bowed to the king and queen, Roselyn then rushed to them both with a smile to congratulate them on their decision.)
"Roselyn: Congratulations you two! I know you'll be the best of the Royal Knights!"
"Reika: As long as human over here doesn't screw up anything, we'll give it our best."
"Aoki: Y-Yeah, what Reika said..!"
(The three then laughed as Arthur was leaning on a wall across the hall and smiled after hearing everything then had the thought to personally train Aoki.)
"Arthur: Well Aoki, if you're going to be a Royal Knight, I may have to train you myself to fit the physical qualifications before the exams start..."
