He grunted.<br/><br/>"A hot spring? Well, you can do that in your own time, you should have said so sooner though, I could take you to all manner of hot springs..."<br/><br/>The old man then chuckled to himself before clearing his throat again.<br/><br/>"No, that is not what this is for. No, I need you to right the wrongs in this world, and end the turmoil. Specifically, you should go out there and end the rule of the Seven Heavenly Swords. Take this country over with your power!"<br/><br/><em>The Seven Heavenly Swords... a loosely-affiliated group of mystics and warriors who rule the lands through their minions, residing in towers where they send their messengers out to relay their orders. The King has long fallen, and now the lands are under their rule. Few have ever seen any of the Heavenly Swords, though their towers stand tall for all to see, scattered around the kingdom borders.</em><br/><br/>"That said... you have been a most troublesome student over the years, yet I know how fast you learned and that you have a good heart. I trust you will know to seek allies when over your head, and if you do topple their tyranny and seize the land for yourself, you will not become another villain. But please look after yourself and do not die.<br/><br/>Also... also, I remember what your antics are like. I won't be there to watch over you and ensure you stay on the right path, and cannot assume you will remain forever innocent. I think it best I punish you now for whatever you're going to do in my absence, so why not bend over?"<br/><br/>He sounded so sincere and wise, so caring... and then he had to say that.
