《I Am An Imitator, Don't Show Me Your Skills》Chapter 5: Inizio
Advertisement
I jumped out of the carriage and waved my hand towards Neville and Ekiya.
"See you around, Mister Casimir!" Neville shouted as their carriage continued.
I nodded and watched them disappear.
Behind me was a huge white fountain in the middle of a roundabout where countless carriages were passing by.
Based on what the adventurers I was within the carriage said, this kingdom is called Inizio.
As I walked towards the other side of the road, I could hear the sound of the carriages and the voices of the people walking down the road with me.
The people around me were wearing tunics or kirtles made of wool.
As I wandered around, I realized that the building here closely resembled the medieval times' buildings I read about in some books and of course, from the setting of the anime I watched back then.
Scattered around the area were numerous knights patrolling the place.
After a few minutes of aimlessly walking, I found the marketplace and bought some food in the stalls.
"100 Sierra for 2 sticks of pork barbecue."
The currency here is called Sierra and every coin I have had numbers carved in them indicating their value.
I handed one of my change coins with 100 carved in it. "Here."
After eating I decided to walk around a little more and just like on Earth, there were some park performers scattered throughout the park, but a majority of them were not dancers or singers, rather, they were more on magic shows.
They were some doing party tricks using their elemental magic.
Some performed a water dance in front of the children.

Some did some juggling performances by propelling the balls to the air using their Wind magic.

Some demonstrated some flashy dance numbers while brimming with electricity all over their body.
[Skill [Electricity Magic] was acquired.]
I clapped my hand as I watched the performers showing their elemental magic.
However, some were just chilling while sculpting using their Ice magic.
[Skill [Ice Magic] was acquired.]
This place was much wider than I had expected, there were a lot of things happening around.
Based on my observations, elemental magic is commonplace in this world, just walking down the street I have already seen tons of elemental magic being used.
For example, using fire magic to light up a stove or furnace, using water magic to water the plant, and using Ice magic to make some cold beverages.
However, not everyone can use their magic as well as the other, I think that's what made the distinction between each person.
"Let go of me!"
While walking down the street and observing the people around me, I heard a voice coming from a girl from a distance.
And being the curious cat that I am, I immediately walked where the sound came from and found 3 knights dragging a girl.
Yep, no matter how much I look at it, it looks bad.
I exhaled first before approaching them. "Yo."
The 3 knights and the girl they were dragging instantly turned their gazes on me.
This is awkward.
"Is there a problem, young man?" One of them approached me and removed his helmet, he shook his head to settle his brown hair and looked at me with confidence.
"Nothing really, where are you planning to take that girl?"
"This demon committed a crime, we're sending it where it belongs."
Demon?
Now that I've got a good look at her, she has brown horns on her head, peeking out of her ash gray hair, and one of them was broken.

"Do you mean, she?"
"A demon is not a person."
Woah! Woah! Hold your horses, buddy! That sounds like a very bad predicament.
"Get back here!"
The next thing I felt was the desperate hug of the demon girl on my waists while shivering.
"How does that thing manage to escape from both of you?"
"She used her magic on us, Captain Miguel."
No, she didn't, they intentionally let her go.
And that alone is already saying a lot.
Captain Miguel turned his gaze on me. "Now, now, young man, as you can see, I still have more things that I need to do. How about you give that demon to me and just go home like the good citizen that you are?"
The girl hugging me shook her head while pushing her face on my waist.
"May I know what crime this girl did? You know, like a normal citizen that I am, I just want to know."
Captain Miguel chuckled. "That thing killed a knight."
I see.
I gently pushed the girl and sat in front of her, her terrified blue eyes immediately shifted to me.
I smiled. "Is it true?"
Tears immediately came out of her eyes as she repeatedly shook her head. "I didn't mean it, he was hurting me." She said using a cracked voice.
"Thanks for your honesty." I patted her head and stood up.
Captain Miguel shrugged. "See? What did I tell you?"
I chuckled. "You're right, forgive me for doubting you, Captain Miguel." I pushed the demon girl and hid her behind me. "However, I'm afraid I can't let you have her."
Man, my big brother's instinct kicked in again!
"Oy, oy, aren't you a little bit arrogant, young man? Do you know who you are talking to?" He pulled his sword. "Know your place."
This guy.
"I should be the one asking that question, Captain. Do you know who you are talking to?"
"Huh? Are you messing with me?" The irritation was completely audible in his voice.
"Messing with you? No. The truth is, I'm trying my best to spare your life." I activated my Mana concealment and released just a little portion of my mana manifestation just enough to scare him away. "Now, the real question is, do you really want to fight for it?"
The best thing that I've learned from cosplaying was to act like a big shot, even though I'm not.
I never thought I could finally find a good use for my cringe-acting skills.
He looked at me with great astonishment in his eyes as his hand holding the sword slowly fell.
Yep, that's my cue, time to leave this stupid place, before more of them arrived.
If stealthiness has a grading system, I will definitely get a big fat F.
I took the hand of the demon girl and pulled her with me.
"Let's go."
Even with confusion visible on her face, she immediately nodded and followed me.
Man! That guy was scary as hell!

Tales of Teleios
Born as a noble free-man, the only daughter of a lord, Arete of Syracuse was an ambitious young woman who would do anything to succeed her father's position. One day, her father was exposed of his secret movement attempted to overthrow the emperor... Tales of Teleios set in the ancient Greco-Roman. It is a very standard adventure, low fantasy, alternate historical story with common archetype and predictable storyline. It is a form of artistic expression. 🏳️🌈 LGBTQIA+ Content Tag 🙇 ESL Author 📖 A Very Brief Summary 📖 (Unavoidable Spoiler) This story is about Arete of Syracuse (the protagonist) who was on a journey to find a mysterious Teleios of Eretria. Travelling with her servant Matea, her maternal cousin Agave and a former hetaira named Pryne. Throughout their journey, they discovered the conspiracy behind the Emperor Nero's eugenic system. This story explores the topic of human advancement. Tracing the idea back to the Greco-Roman world, the idea of eugenicism started when humans attempted to achieve perfection through breeding enhancements. However, The Three Elders realised that they couldn't afford waiting on the natural process of evolution. Thus, they came out with the controversial idea of experimentation through the building up of monstrosities using different body parts of animals and attempting to achieve immortality through taking over the younger human bodies. Teleios means perfection, and the center of this story is about the journey of four very flawed characters: The protagonist, Arete was a skinny noble woman who was born premature and had amenorrhea. She was supposed to be drowned by the order of Emperor Claudius due to her imperfection. While Matea was born a perfect healthy person, but has had everything taken away from her. Agave who was born out of wedlock but was fortunate enough to be adopted into a noble family. And Pryne who was on her way to have a loving family but drifted instead throughout the world after making a decision that she deeply regretted and needed to overcome her sense of guilt along the way. The story will explore some of the most controversial topics which involved detestable ancient practices such as pedarastry, where as the Empress Sporus, being the victim of it, coping with her tragic experience through acceptance of the oppressor and her struggle for not being able to conceive. In summary, the topics were largely related to gender and sex. There will be violence and gore, as most of the fantasy works does. while the author here would like to inform the readers that this is not an erotica, nor it has any sentences that involve depiction of sexual activities. Therefore, this story is not for those who seek thrill on its sexual content. A dialogue of Empress Sporus: "The world itself abused us to a level unimaginable! Yet we have to learn to love the world! Simply to live! To make our life a little easier, a little happier. So what is wrong with that? Are you expecting me to go against the emperor when he is the one and only reason I became the empress?" Said Sporus.
