(A/N: What we were missing! A series of flashbacks!)
Link Sta- *ehem* Flashback Start!
Two people were walking through a forest, one appeared to be a young boy who was at most 15 while the other was a little older though both of them seemed fairly young. Of course they were Galahad and Yuuki, Yuuki sighed and put his hand on his stomach. They had been walking for hours yet they hadn't seen a single sign of intelligent life! Trees and trees everywhere and then the stupid bugs too! He glanced at Galahad who was lazily walking behind him yawning every 20 or something seconds, he curiously asked, "Aren't you feeling frustrated?" all they did was walk!
Galahad shrugged, "Used to....walking for long periods of time.....I'm ancient remember.." he said looking around at the trees almost as if they weren't the only things they had been seeing for the past few hours, what they were interesting! to him at least. Yuuki chuckled, "Sometimes I forget you're hundreds of years old." who'd expect it. Galahad looked straight at him, "What sometimes? We've been together....for only 6 hours now."
"You've been keeping track?" Yuuki asked, he certainly hadn't been. Galahad looked to the side feigning ignorance. "You weren't either" Yuuki deadpanned at him which caused Galahad to shrug again, it didn't matter anyway. Yuuki facepalmed and continued walking he had already seen that he was the type of person who was unbothered by most things.
TIMUSKIPPU!!!!
Yuuki and Galahad sat in front of a campfire with tents set up behind them, they had yet to find their way out of this damn forest! But that wasn't important, Yuuki looked at his hands with shinig eyes, he had completed it! The Anti-Skill! He knew the people in this world had something called skills so he wanted to come up with a counter for them, "Adrian!" he shouted excitedly, causing the meat Galahad was already failing miserably at roasting to fall into the fire, "Damn....kid, that was my meal!" he said to Yuuki before realizing he could just materialize food, "Wait...why did I spend so much...time chasing a rabbit then?" he groaned and looked at Yuuki who was holding his hands out, "What? We....just lost the food." he said wondering what the kid wanted.
Yuuki shook his head, "Not that. I completed the skill I was trying my hand on, now we'll have an easier time." he immediately shared the information with him because he trusted him. Galahad chuckled and ruffled his hair, "Good for..you,kid." he muttered and held up his hand, two pieces of roasted meat formed in his hand and he held one out to Yuuki, "Thank you." Yuuki replied fixing his hair and taking it, Galahad chuckled, "It's ...smoking hot..." he said lazily before looking at Yuuki judgmentally since he didn't laugh at his joke.
TIMUSKIPPU!!!!!
A week later, Galahad and Yuuki arrived at what was supposed to be the Adventurer's Guild and walked in with Yuuki leading and Galahad following behind him. The gazes of the other adventurers fell on them and all of them looked at them like they were idiots, they were two pretty boys. A large man walked forward and blocked Yuuki's path, "Hey you lost, kid? Run home to your mommy." he said arrogantly, he was an A rank adventurer and quite strong as well the only problem was his personality. Yuuki looked at him thinking what to do since he had no combat experience while listening to the people whispering all around them.
Galahad however didn't stop walking and without even looking at the man he smacked him in the side, making the man crash into a wall with a large boom as cracks spread on the wall because of the crack. Yuuki laughed awkwardly, "Gentlemen, I apologize for my companion." he said bowing a bit, they slowly nodded still shocked at how his companion yeeted an A ranked adventurer just like that. Yuuki turned to him, "What are you doing?!" he whispered to him, Galahad shrugged he wouldn't have done that normally either, "He was...bothering you, no?"
Yuuki sighed and walked over to the counter and greeted the lady standing behind it, "Hello miss." he said politely, the woman smiled at him already used to things like this happening, "Would you like to register as adventurers?" she asked politely. Yuuki nodded and both of them signed up as adventurers.
TIMUSKIPPU!!!!!!
A month later, Galahad yawned sitting on a giant rock and looked at Yuuki being chased around by giant ants, "Hey Help!" Yuuki shouted at him while jumping around to avoid the attacks coming his way. Galahad shook his head, "You need....combat experience.." he muttered, this kid was trying to stay away from the fighting using others to do it for him, well that was fine too but he needed experience. Yuuki nodded at him understanding his words, even if he would use others he need to be strong in order to defend himself he was grateful to him for reminding him of it.
A few hours later, Yuuki lay tired on the ground breathing heavily with several corpses littered around him, he managed to win but it took a lot out of him he had taught him a valuable lesson. Galahad walked ocver and extended his hand to Yuuki, "You did good...kid." he said as Yuuki stood up using him as a support, Galahad rubbed his chin in thought, "I've decided.....you need to train if you plan to....do what you want." he would train the kid, even if he had to kill him it would be interesting to see and he wanted to try teaching, maybe it would be fun. Yuuki nodded with a smile on his face, "Yes, but you'll have to be the one teaching me." he said, he wasn't willing to accept another teacher.
TIMUSKIPPU!!!!!!!
A few years later, in the backyard of what was a small home, a teenager of about 18 could be seen exchanging sword blows with another one who had long white hair going down to his waist. Galahad blocked Yuuki's sword blow and swiped at him, Yuuki jumped up and dodged him before slashing at his head. Galahad lazily swerved to the side avoiding the hit, making Yuuki click his tongue and jump back, Galahad chuckled, "Adrian 100, Yuuki 0" the kid hadn't won even once.
Yuuki grumbled, "Of course a geezer would have more time to hone his skills." he said picking up a bottle of water, his clothes drenched in sweat from the spar this guy was just too good with the sword! Galahad yawned, "Whatever you...say kid." he said materializing a can of soda for himself and drinking it. After a few minutes both of them were done and Yuuki got into a stance. Galahad looked straight at him albeit he did it lazily, it was time for hand to hand combat practice.
TIMUSKIPPU!!!!!!!!!!!
A few more years later, two people were in a big office room. One was sitting on a couch he yawned and looked at the other person who was looking around the room with a happy smile on his face. Yuuki turned to Galahad, "We're finally here." he said, happy with his achievement the two of them had worked very hard for this after all, well Yuuki and Galahad's golems but nobody cares about that.
Galahad lazily nodded, "Yeah, you should be....proud of yourself?" he said a bit confused before shaking his head removing such thoughts and looked at the ant that was climbing up a wall. Yuuki shook his head, "No you had a hand in it, so this your achievement as well." he wouldn't take the praise as his own. Galahad waved his hand dismissing it and kept on watching the ant he wasn't one for praises, Yuuki followed his gaze and wondered what was so special about the ant. Yuuki had become the new Grandmaster because the previous one mysteriously disappeared for some reason, while others tried to take the position for the wealth it brought, the connections Yuuki had formed over the years helped him out also....Galahad beat the shit out of the other candidates because it was a waste of time to debate over something stupid....
TIMUSKIPPU!!!!!
Yuuki ran into a room where Galahad was sleeping and shouted his name making Galahad shoot up and fall over. He rubbed his head and stood up, he chuckled looking at the kid who was intently staring at him, sometimes he was just like a child when it was the two of them but otherwise maintained a professional demeanor. "What happened?" he asked curiously, Yuuki nodded, "I got help for my dream, I also managed to convince one of the Demon Lords well I say convince but it was more of him being a stuck up idiot and thus easily manipulatable." he said proud of himself.
Galahad dryly laughed, "I don't think.....being good at manipulating others is something to be proud of....but it is necessary." he said standing up and ruffling Yuuki's hair. He then walked out of the place behind Yuuki, it was time to meet the Moderate Harlequin Alliance.
TIMUSKIPPU!!!!!!!
Five people could be seen walking out of a place as fire rose up behind them, they were Yuuki, Footman, Tear, Laplace and Galahad who was here to keep an eye on Yuuki. They had just destroyed one of the many underground organizations that were being hindrances to their plan. Galahad yawned and lazily walked besides them, he was feeling the need to travel.
Tear popped up near him, "Why ya always yawnin? are ya retarded?" she asked this guy was always looking lazy and it was somewhat annoying. Galahad proceeded to pick her up and threw her away, Yuuki joined, "No yeeting people, we've talked about this..." this wasn't the first time he did this, he would seriously pick up and throw away anyone that annoyed him.
Galahad looked at him and slowly nodded before throwing her away anyway, Yuuki looked at him and sighed he sometimes wondered who the older person here was and gave a smile reminiscing about all they had done together in the past years. Laplace and Footman started laughing at what happened, it was always amusing to see Yuuki and the guy's interactions with them often acting like they're the older one and reprimanding each other.
Galahad chuckled and kept walking, this kid was seriously amusing to watch over and he also needed to be taken care of sometimes like the time he poked a poisonous mushroom and ended up hallucinating something that made him shiver in fear, he didn't tell Galahad about it either leaving him to wonder what exactly he had seen during that because it may be traumatizing if someone like Yuuki trembled and turned green after it, those moments made Galahad wonder where the calculating and manipulative Yuuki was because all he could see was a young kid but then again Galahad's image of what a kid was, was quite twisted as well. Yuuki smiled at Galahad, this man was someone he trusted from the bottom of his heart, his oldest friend who had always been by his side, watched over him, helped him and a lazy prick.
Flashback End!
