The supreme sovereign system

"Representant of the north?" Asked Susana once more.

Everyone looked at Alfonso.

However, Alfonso didn't answer, he just looked at the sword with a pale face.

"Al, are you okay?" Asked Unstoppable.

Alfonso suddenly woke up by hearing Unstoppable.

"Ah..oh…yeah… I am… I am fine" Said Alfonso.

However, his words were cracking and his pulse was accelerated, as a champion herself, Unstoppable could felt these changes.

"I want to see that sword closely" Said Alfonso with a clear voice.

"Is that allowed?" Asked Alfonso.

Fernando looked coldly at Alfonso from his throne.

"What is this trash Thinking?" Though Fernando.

"Well, it doesn't matter, if he is going to make a clown of himself, who I am to stop him"

"I permit it" Said Fernando.

Alfonso nodded and went down to look at the sword, Unstoppable helped him.

Alfonso looked at the twin swords impaled on the ground. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice the difference between them.

Alfonso touched the sword that Cameron had thrown. He looked closely and touched the blade.

"Here is it" Though Alfonso.

There were some clefts on the sword, Alfonso noticed them by chance when he was looking at the swords from above.

"These clefts are strokes" Though Alfonso.

"Have you discovered something?" Asked Susana.

Fernando smirked after hearing Susana.

Alfonso looked at Fernando and smiled.

"I indeed found something, everyone had better sight than me, look here, there are some clefts on the blade" Said Alfonso.

Everyone did so and indeed discover the clefs on the blade.

"What about these clefs, when you use a blade for long, there are eventually clefs on it" Said Cameron.

"Indeed" Added Fredrick.

"These strokes are problematic, look at them, they are not the kind of strokes that you will have by the use of it" Said Alfonso.

As an expert on the blade, Edo nodded.

"Is as Alfonso Lockheart says" Said Edo.

Alfonso once more looked at the blade.

"I am glad that my good friend taught me Kanji" Though Alfonso.

"However, this sword… I think I saw it somewhere before"

"Where was it…"

Alfonso tried his best to recalled as he read the text in the sword.

After reading it. Alfonso was stunned.

"I remember!" Though Alfonso.

[Tokyo, 1980]

A middle-aged Alfonso was arriving at the airport where a university friend of him was waiting.

"Alfonso-san, good morning" Said a white man with a suit.

"Yamato, I told you to drop the 'san' " Said Alfonso with a smile.

They hugged each other and took a taxi.

Yamato, he was a friend that Alfonso made when he visited the University of Tokyo for a conference. Both were history nerds and quickly become friends.

"Alfonso-san, how long are you going to stay in Tokyo?" Asked Yamato.

"Just a couple of days, I have to go back to London to dictate my classes" Said Alfonso.

"You should find a wife soon, Alfonso-san, you are not getting younger" Said Yamato.

"Mind your own business, what's more, you also don't have a wife" Said Alfonso.

"Hehe, that's where you are wrong, my old friend, I am already a married man" Said Yamato with a smile.

"What!?" Said Alfonso.

"You are just too absorbed in your work, Alfonso-san, I send you a letter but it seems that you didn't even read it" Said Yamato.

"Ah, well… yeah, sorry about that, congrats" Said Alfonso a little bit ashamed.

Yamato looked at Alfonso and smiled.

"I know you for too long, old friend, that's why I somehow knew that this would happen, nevertheless, you have to come with me to meet my wife, she cooks the best dishes in all Japan" Said Yamato.

"Look at you, all red despite being this old" Said Alfonso.

"Love changes you" Said Yamato.

"Whatever" Said Alfonso while taking something from his bag.

"Old friend, what is that?" Asked Yamato.

"Hehe, look at this, I found this back when I was exploring the Maya's temples" Said Alfonso.

Alfonso had in his hand photography of some hieroglyphics.

"Ohhh!" Said Yamato with ecstasy.

Alfonso nodded, as a fellow nerd, he was also excited when he discovered them.

"I have some problems with the interpretation, how about it, want to help a friend?" Asked Alfonso.

"Haha, I would be angry if you didn't ask" Said Yamato with a smile.

The two of them arrived at Yamato's house where a middle-aged woman with a kimono and a gentle smile were waiting for them.

"Akari! I am home!" Shouted Yamato.

"Anata" Said Akari with a soft smile.

"Let me introduce you, Alfonso-san, this is Suzuki Akari, my wife" Said Yamato.

"Suzuki-san, it's a pleasure to meet you" Said Alfonso.

"Just Akari, please, Yamato had talked a lot about you, Alfonso-san, oh, excuse me" Said Akari.

"Please, just Alfonso is enough, I felt a little bit awkward when people call me by my surname" Said Alfonso.

 Alfonso, Akari, and Yamato entered the house where a nice meal was waiting for them.

"Wow, this is incredible" Said Alfonso.

"I told you, Alfonso-san, my wife cooks the best dishes" Said Yamato with pride.

Akari smiled with confidence.

After dinner, Alfonso and Yamato when to Yamato's office where they open a bottle of sake.

After some drinks, Alfonso was a little drunk since he didn't use to drink sake.

"Old friend, I must admit that you have a life that I envy" Said Alfonso.

"I am a lucky man" Said Yamato.

"Sigh~, I really want to find a wife" Said Alfonso.

"You can, even I envy your looks, Alfonso-san, I remember that you used to date that cute nurse back when we were in America, what happened?" Asked Yamato.

"You know my work, I had to travel a lot and she wanted to settle down" Said Alfonso.

Yamato sighed while he took another sip of his sake.

"You loved your job too much, old friend" Said Yamato.

"Maybe" Said Alfonso.

After a moment of silence, Yamato, with a troubled face, asked.

"Old friend… have you visited Marvin?"

Alfonso stopped drinking and looked at his cup.

"He doesn't want me to, so I won't" Said Alfonso.

"You two were like brothers in university, you should visit him, were not getting younger" Said Yamato.

"You also know his point of view, he prefers to repeat our mistakes instead of learning from the past, isn't that why we study history? To learn from our past? What's the point if we are going to do the same shit over and over again" Said Alfonso.

Yamato sighed and drank all his cup in one gulp.

"I hope that you don't regret later" Though Yamato.

........................…

A week passed and it was time for Alfonso to leave.

"Thanks for everything, old friend" Said Alfonso.

"I wish you could stay longer" Said Yamato with a sad expression.

"I can't keep imposing you like this… besides… hehe… there are somethings that you can't do while I am here right?" Said Alfonso while looking at Akari.

"Alfonso-Kun!" Said Akari with her cheeks red.

"Haha" Alfonso laughed.

 "Oh, wait, old friend, before you go I have something for you" Said Yamato.

He took out a small key chain from his pocket.

"This is?" Asked Alfonso.

"This is a souvenir; I did the encryptions myself" Said Yamato with confidence.

Alfonso looked at the tiny sword and saw the strokes that were made in the blade.

"How do you read this?" Asked Alfonso.

Yamato smiled with confidence.

"Hehe, you read this as…"
