Recap : Last time we were here, Gunther was about to be given his 5th star that means he is an Admiral. Pirates attacked mid ceremony and he also met a cute waiter.
"Shit." He curses under his breath as he materializes his magic cutlass and shield.
"I guess I can't take a break huh"
“Good thing this uniform doubles as armor” He thought to himself before taking off his outer coat to reveal magisteel reinforced uniform underneath.
He dashes to where he sees the pirates ship that is firing cannons and is surrounded by pirates.
"Surrender now or die" He yells to them while pointing Igneol at them.(His magic cutlass)
"Are you insane?" One of the pirates says to him. "We've got you surrounded, you'll never win!" The pirates then proceed to laugh at him.
They start fighting.“TORNADO SLASH!”
One of the pirates says before slashing the air in a circular motion and sending a ripping tornado at him. He doesn’t dodge fast enough and gets cut on the leg .“VOLCANIC SLICE!” he fires back at the the pirate with his cutlass. “One down, 9 to go.” He thinks to himself.“AAGH!” He’d been stabbed in the back by one of the pirates that had snuck up on him.
“Damn it.” He said. He then proceeded to black out.
3 Days Later
He woke up in someone’s house with bandages around his waist.
“You finally woke up huh” He heard a female’s voice say.
“Who are you, where am I, and what happened to the pirates I was fighting?” He answers back.
“Oh! You don’t remember me? I’m the waiter who brought you your food 4 days ago.”
“That answers one question, what about the other two?”
“You’re at my house right now, I brought you here so I could treat your wounds.”
“What about the pirates?”
“I guess you could say I dealt with them”
“WHAT!”
“How did you manage to knock out nine pirates and rescue me?”
“It was pretty easy, actually. All I had to do was toss a few spells at them.”
“Well anyway, what’s your name?”
“My name is Astrid. Anyway what’s yours?”
“How does this chick not know my name? I’m a vice admiral in the grand navy!”
“My name is Gunther, Gunther Crest”
“You have a cool name Gunther”
“Well anyway, I’ve gotta leave”
“Your wounds haven’t healed, you’ve got to stay at least a week more”
“I have to spend a week at this girl’s house? Well she is kinda cute.”
“Sure I guess?” He replied.
