Chapter 2: The Awakening of the Oni and the Demon

I and Rean walk around the ballroom, there are many people, from members of the 4 Noble Houses to Imperial Army officials.


"Yuno-nii, what are we going to do? "asks Rean, following me behind.


"Nothing in particular, maybe make some friends, my father says that meeting people at a young age can save your life later"


"And Rean, don't tell anyone your last name, just say your first name, understood"


"Why?"


"Because some adults don't like your father very much, so to avoid causing trouble, don't say your last name if I don't allow it, it's for your safety"


"Okay, Yuno-nii," he says with a smileThanks to Rean's natural ability to attract people and my ability to interact effectively in public, we have met a lot of children of our age who are not yet indoctrinated into the mindset of the respective faction, and we have been able to talk and have fun together.


We met Rufus Albarea who had just seen us talking to a group of children our age with me and Rean at the center as a group leader we were talking about our lives or something that interests us.


I was able to talk with Legram's Viscount, Victor S. Arseid, also known as Radiant Blademaster he seems to have perceived the aura I give off and suggested that if I go to Legram in the future to go to Arseid School to be able to learn their art and also introduce me to Laura his daughter who also seems to have started her training.


After our little adventure Rean and I joined our fathers who were talking with a person I didn't expect to see The son of Emperor Olivert Reise Arnor if I'm not mistaken he should be 14 this year


"Uncle Giliath, father"


"Oh, you're back, kids, so what did you do? "asks my father.


"We talked and got to know other children our own age," says Rean.


"Meet Duck Albarea's son, Rufus-onii-san I think"


"Yes, that's it, then we ate a lot of candy," Rean replied, nodding his head.


"Speak for yourself, if I wasn't there to help you eat everything you'd have a stomachache."


"Oops, that's right," he says scratching his head


"Oh I almost forgot I met Legram's Viscount, he suggested that maybe in the future I visit him to learn their fencing styles"


Everyone looks at me like I killed one of their families and I know what they think that the Radiant Blademaster is interested in a child to train him, it's that he really must have something special.


"What's the matter? I just talked to him."


"Hahahahaha, Teo your son is really a wonder and if what you told me about him is true and true then the future of the empire is assured"


"Indeed, since you're here, I'd like you to meet someone"


"Pleased to meet you both, I introduce myself Olivert Reise Arnor," he says, raising his hand


"Nice to meet you, Yuno"


"My name is Rean"


"Nice to meet you, Yuno, Rean, I'd like to talk to you longer but I have to go maybe next time" then Olivert leaves


"Well, since the introductions are made, I'm going to go home with Rean because it's getting late and I don't want my wife to worry"


"We too will soon be returning, to another time Giliath, Rean," said my father.


"See you soon Uncle Teo, Yuno-nii"


"Well, we're going to go too, Yuno"


"Yes, father" It was on that day that I saw Giliath Osborne the man who could have changed the empire for the good for the last time.


// TimeSkip 7 months later //


It's been a few months since the event at the capital and I'm monitoring the state of the empire and the imperial army thanks to the newspapers and an orbital radio that I've been working on with my resources and equipment that I ordered from the Capital and Roer I've asked the blacksmiths to make me the parts and I'm assembling them thanks to this I've managed to pirate almost all the empire's radio waves.


And of course 4 months ago the news that the Osborne house was attacked by Jaegers and that Aunt Kasia died and no trace of Uncle Giliath and Rean, when I received this news I felt bad, I could do nothing to prevent that, neither the Hamel attack nor the 100-day war.


*Dring Dring Dring Dring*


The mansion phone rings and takes me out of my thoughts, I leave what I was doing and then head for the phone in the lobby.


"Yes, hello, Schwarzer Mansion, this is Yuno Schwarzer"


"Yuno-kun, it's me, Giliath Osborne, I need to talk to your father as soon as possible"


"Understood, I'll go get it, don't hang up."


I put the phone on the table and then run to get my father who is in the stables so fast that the servants only see a black shadow passing in front of them, after telling him that Uncle Osborne was on the phone and that it sounded very serious to the sound of his voice he went to the phone after talking for about ten minutes, Dad started running outside with his coat.


As for me, I went to play with Elise and told the servant to prepare a room and a basin of hot water because we are going to have a guest soon


A few hours later father comes back with a 5-year-old boy asleep on his back and it is Rean, my mother was surprised to see the boy she notices that he is completely refrigerated when she asks the servant to prepare a room and a basin of hot water, they answer her that I had already told them to do it.


After dropping Rean in bed, with me and Elise to keep him company, my father and mother went to my father's office to talk about Rean.


"Big brother who is it?" asks little Elise with her childish voice


"A new family member, Eli-chan," I said to him, putting my hand on her head.


*Hum* Rean starts to wake up and look around him.


"Where am I now? "


Elise is hiding behind me


"Hello, how are you feeling?"


He turns his head to see me with Elise watching me hide behind my back


"Who are you?"


"I knew the transplant would cause him to lose his memory, but not that much.


"My name is Yuno Schwarzer, this is my little sister Elise, what's your name? "


"My name is Rean, that's all I remember."


Then I start asking questions about his family, or his memories before today, he doesn't even remember his date of birth.


"All right Rean, rest, I'll tell my father you're awake, Elise, will you keep him company, please? "


"Understood, big brother," then I pat him on the head and go to my father's office.


*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*


"Yes?"


"Father, it's me"


"Come in" I open the door


"What's the matter, darling?" my mother told me, hugging me.


"Rean is waking up... "


"That's good... "but I'm cutting him off.


"...But he seems to have lost his memory, apart from his first name he doesn't remember anything else"


"The poor child, I'm going to see him he must be confused" Then my mother leaves the room


"Yuno, what I'm about to tell you must not leave this room," my father told me with a serious look.


"Understood"


"From now on Rean will be part of our family, but you must not tell him anything about his past, and if in the future you meet Giliath, pretend you don't know him at all and don't ask him any questions about Rean, I made myself understood"


"But... "


"I made myself understood, Yuno Schwarzer"


"Understood father" then he comes to me and hugs me


"Forgive me, son, but I'm doing this for the good of everyone," he says to me


As for me, I remain in my father's arms, tears in my eyes because I am only a child who can do nothing.


// TimeSkip brought by Yuno, Rean and Elise plays in the Ymir Valley //


// September S. 1196, Ymir //


It has now been 4 years since Rean joined our family and as my parents expected it didn't please much the other noble houses close to our family and rumors that Rean is my father's bastard son is circulating but that doesn't change anything to our family we love each other as we are.


My control training on my demonic power reached the intermediate level, thanks to the beginner level I was able to build a good foundation for the future and it allowed me to remove all the impurities from my body, I can create balls of demonic energy, and I can also strengthen certain parts of my body like my legs to run faster to my arms to hit harder.


Two years ago I met a friend of my father Yun Ka-fai the great master and creator of the "Eight Leaves One Blade" fencing style, I asked him if he could teach me the style, and he accepted to make me one of his disciples because he said he saw in me a great potential to advance the style towards another path and he taught me a lot about his travels and the culture of his country Calvard.


With the advice of Yu Ka-fai, I also started my physical training for Kempo and fencing, I also train with Rean. Every morning we do 5 km of jogging, 50 pumps, then 50 pulls, followed by 150 sword shots with a wooden stick and then end with meditation and at the end of the day Kempo training and the 8th form of the style "Eight Leaves One Blade": 'Weaponless' with real-time combat between us.


A few months later me and my brother and sister went to the Ymir Valley to look for ingredients for dinner, I told them to stay in the clearing near the entrance to the valley because there is an ingredient that is located at the end of the valley, then I left on the way I met monsters that I easily dealt with Yamato, the closer I got to my goal the rarer the number of monsters became, which I find strange since I come to train in this area and there are still many monsters, until I hear two cries


One was a monster's scream and it is where my sister and brother are and the other was Elise's voice I rush to the clearing as quickly as I can. I disappear from where I am as if I teleported and moved from branch to branch.


"I must I get there in time"


' Fuck why I didn't learn a technique to detect my enemies '


When I arrive on the spot I see Rean who has just come out of his Oni mode with a machete full of blood on him with the body of a monster in front of him on the ground and behind a scared Elise on the ground when I notice another monster behind them.


As if I was going to let you do it' I scream in my head and unconsciously I use my power to full power my black hair turns white, straightens up and their tip turns purple, my blue eyes turn purple/red and I am surrounded by purple energy.


I take Yamato in position battōjutsu then rushes at high speed on the monster and shouts in a demonic voice


" "Eight Leaves One Blade" school: Fifth form "Morning Moon"."


I reappeared behind the monster and when I put my Katana back in its sheath, numerous slash marks appear on the monster and the latter becomes a red mist there is nothing left of him when I calm my demonic aura, I turn to my family


"Rean, Elise, you're fine."


"Big brother" Rean and Elise throw themselves into my arms crying


"Yoch, Yoch, I'm here, I'm here"


"I was scared, Big Brother Yuno"


"Sorry it's my fault, sorry"


After calming down Elise, she fell asleep then I put her on my back and then we go home, I tried to talk to Rean about his power but refused to talk about it, when we get home I tell what happened to father and master Ka-fai about the power of Rean and mine and the latter decides to also take Rean as a disciple to help him master his strength.


Then the following years Rean continues the training but still afraid to use his power for fear of hurting someone and holds back his blows, he begins to doubt about many things and thinks he is a dead weight for our family, although I try to help him it doesn't change anything until Master Ka-fai finally cuts short his training and gets the title of beginner practitioner.


As for me, I have progressed a lot in my training in the "Eight Leaves One Blade" style, I have learned a technique from each of the 8 forms of the style and I have received the title of Intermediate Practitioner.


At that moment I decided to start a journey around the Empire before preparing my admission to the Thors Military Academy, I discussed it with my family well with a refusal from my mother and my little sister after a little persuasion they accepted my decision.


Today I am 15 years old and my next destination is Legram and also to go in search of my Deus-Exellion.
