Arthur's Location
I can't believe you stole my food again, Alice yells.
I told you that I didn't take it, Tadano yells.
But I know you did, you left a note Alice says.
Are you stupid, Tadano yells.
No, I will have you know that I have an Iq of 98, Alice says defensively.
That is practically the lowest in the City, Tadano says.
What do you mean that 98 is the lowest, Arthur asks, handing Alice his bag of food.
Well usually someone takes a Iq test and that determines their intelligence potential, Tadano says.
Well where can you get it tested, Arthur asks.
If you want to take the test then I can take you there, Tadano says.
Alright let's go, Arthur says.
A little while after Arthur's test.
Hey what did you get, Arthur, Tadano asks.
I got a 183 on it, Arthur says.
Oh wow that is pretty high so your iq is 183 that is a lot higher than Alice's, Tadano says.
Hey, Tadano, what did you get on yours's, Arthur asks.
I got a 205, Tadano says casually.
A Iq of 205, Arthur says shocked.
Yeah it was high but unfortunately I didn't get into the university I wanted because of my status, Tadano says.
What do you mean, Arthur asks.
Well as a 2nd class I can get into most colleges but the 1st class one, University of Felidae which is known as the best University around, Tadano says.
That sucks, Arthur says.
Yeah it does but I got over it, Tadano says.
By the way, why do you and Alice get into so many fights, Arthur asks.
It is because she is an annoying brat, Tadano says.
I meant for real what is the reason, Arthur says as something begins to ring in his pocket.
What a Communication Totem, Tadano says.
Alright then who could be contacting me, Arthur ponders picking up.
Over the speaker he hears, Arthur hello Arthur, Tsuki's voice echos.
Hello Tsuki, Arthur says. Hey what is up, Tsuki asks.
I am currently sharing an apartment with a genius, Arthur says.
Who are you sharing with, Tsuki asks. He is Tadano here he is, Arthur says putting him on.
Hello, Tadano says.
Hey what up, Tsuki says casually.
What would you say your power is at, Tadano, Tsuki says curiously.
I would say that he is a lower Griffin, Arthur says over the Com,
Oh ok then he is pretty strong then, Tsuki says.
Yeah he is, Arthur says hanging up. Why would you say that, Tadano yells.
Because you are I know that if we were to spar it wouldn't have an absolute winner, Arthur says.
You are stronger than the girl I met.
I believe her name was Aina, Arthur says.
You met lady Aina, Tadano exclaims.
Yeah I did, Arthur says.
Well then what was she like I hear she is the strongest Wolf Knight in the kingdom, Tadano says.
Are you deaf I just said that in terms of magic and strength you were stronger than her, Arthur says frustrated.
No, there is no way I am just an average guy trying to get through university, Tadano says.
You are a liar is what you are, Tadano, Arthur says.
What do you mean I know that if I fought her I would most definitely get beaten up, Tadano says.
I am not saying that you could beat her, in terms of technique Aina would wipe the floor with you, Arthur says.
Anyway we should get back I am sure that Himiko is worried, Arthur says.
Leon Location
What is this place Leon says getting up.
Hey Leon Yui says Waving. Leon gets up and turns around. Leon then begins to cover his face.
Hmmmm Yes let lose no one can stop you, Leon hears in his head.
Then a man in a Yukata with a large Demon print on it appears from the forest.
Who are you get away from me, Leon yells.
No worries I could defeat you in my sleep, the man says.
He then says Teleport and vanishes. Leon then passes out.
Tsuki location
Well that was a bust, Tsuki says.
Alright then It is time to get up, Tsuki says getting up.
Alright, we need a new job, Fujiwara, Tsuki says.
I am sorry to interrupt but can we join your group, a man says. What do you mean we, Tsuki asks.
Me and my sister, the man says. Ok tell me your names and magic type then show me your cards, Tsuki says.
Ok the man says, I am Edward and this is my sister Astrid, the man says.
I am a Lighting type and my sister is a water. My Strength is 11 my magic is 11 my Speed is 11 and intelligence is a 11 with an average of 11, the man says.
My sister is a 5 in strength, Magic is a 12 speed is a 4 and intelligence is a 14 with an average of 8.75. hmmm alright then I will accept you but why doesn't your sister talk, Tsuki asks.
She is extremely shy, Edward says loudly.
Ok then the requirement to join is that your sister talks, Tsuki says.
The sister then says quietly, Hello.
Ok then I was expecting more but let's go, Tsuki says.
I need to select a job. Since you are the new comers you get to chose the job, Tsuki says but really thinking, Depending on what mission they chose that will tell me what they think of me if it is anything higher than 13 then they are spy's if not they are stupid. nevertheless I need people to help me bring down this corrupt country, Tsuki ponders.
Astrid shows him a post ranked, 14 mission to exterminate Giant Fire Ants. Hmm that is odd this is a 12 ok then a mission like this is easy, Tsuki thinks.
Ok then if that is the mission you guys want, sign us up, Tsuki says.
Alright, Edward says.
Tsuki and his group go to the village. Alright Edward and Astrid I would like to see what kind of combat experience you got so if you don't mind attacking first, Tsuki says.
Alright, I will not disappoint, Edward says.
Astrid nods. They charge in a linear formation and Attack but are soon snatched up by an ant and are taken.
Koichi you have to go and get them, Niko yells.
Just call me by my name you saw it and I know you did, Tsuki says.
Tsuki begins to walk towards where Astrid and Edward were taken.
Now Dark Harvest, Tsuki says, trapping the Ants around him.
Koichi, Edward says. For those that are part of my group, call me by my name Tsuki Koyama, Tsuki says intensely.
That explains it, Astrid says terrified.
This poison will burn your skin, Tsuki says untying her and realising her clothes are burned.
He gives her his cloak, and begins to cut down the trap with the gift from Chizu.
He hands Edward a robe. Alright then you guys need to get out, Tsuki says.
Dark World Cocoon of Shelter, Tsuki says.
Get in here, Tsuki says.
Alright then, Astrid says blushing.
Ok Sir, Edward says. Teleport to Niko Fujiwara, Tsuki says.
The Spell then vanished. Alright then it is up to me to find the mastermind of this infestation, Tsuki says.
Tsuki approaches the center of the town.
Hmm a delectable mortal, a women with big wings says.
Hmmm, a bug woman how interesting, Tsuki says.
Alright then what are you going to do, the woman says.
I have no interest in killing you but I can't Let you keep killing, People eating , Tsuki says.
Hmm you think that you are strong enough to stop me, the woman says.
Hmm alright, I have a proposition I don't want to kill you but I have found a solution, Tsuki says.
What is it, the woman says.
Let's play Rock paper scissors, Tsuki says.
What the hell are you talking about, the woman says.
I mean let's settle this with rock paper scissors, Tsuki says.
Is this some sort of Deception is he trying to get me off guard, she says seeing Tsuki Picking his nose.
Alright then, the woman says.
Rock, paper scissors, suddenly Tsuki stops time and looks at her hands. It is paper. Tsuki goes back in place and plays scissors.
What the hell alright then what is it that you want, The insect Queen says.
I would like you to know if you can use some kind of Shape shift, Tsuki asks.
No not really I can only become more humanoid looking and hide my wings, she says.
Oh alright that is good Tsuki says. I need you to come with me and join my group in the City.
No, there is no way I will end up dead, the woman says.
I don't really care, Tsuki says.
If someone like a High paladin attacks me then I will most certainly die, the woman cries.
Why the hell are you crying, I won't let someone hurt you, Tsuki says.
You are one of the meanest people I have ever met, the woman says.
I don't care, disassemble your nest and make those bugs leave here or you will be killed by me, Tsuki says.
Also what is your name, Tsuki asks.
I am Chōko, I understand you, she says, still crying.
Let me demonstrate my power, Dark world, Tsuki says as he traps Chōko and quickly removes it.
What kind of power can do that to someone completely entrapping their target, Chōko thinks.
Alright then what are we going to do about the attack on this village, Chōko says.
Well it depends on what the guild master says, Tsuki responds.
Alright then meet me outside the north gate in 3 days or I will hunt you down also for your information I marked you so I can both track you and teleport to you, Tsuki says.
What you have the power to do that Chōko says.
Yeah I do, Tsuki says.
So what are you going to do once I join your group, Chōko asks.
I still would need about 7 more strong members. You are by far the strongest member of the group besides me, Tsuki says.
I need 2 more member at your level or stronger, Tsuki says.
What for, Chōko asks. We need to overthrow the corruption and Injustice here, Tsuki says.
Do you really think, you can there is the Holy Grand Paladin he is said to be the equivalent of a Sin of 7 Moral Sins, Chōko says.
I will be taking on the Holy Grand Paladins myself, Tsuki says.
I will admit that you are far stronger than I am, but to try and fight them is suicide. Not that I care, Chōko says.
I need to get stronger no matter what I am aware that at the moment I am not nearly strong enough to fight him but I need to get stronger, Tsuki says.
Anyway meet you in three days, Tsuki says.
Ok, Chōko says flying away.
Suddenly as Chōko flies away something is shot at her causing her to begin to fall.
Tsuki teleports her to him. Tsuki then runs and puts on Dark armor, he begins searching to find out who shot the projectile. Suddenly he sees a group of Paladin, Tsuki crouches behind some rocks.
Tsuki makes his armor appear more bug like and charges at them.
It is another sentient Bug Hit him with the power of the Paladin Corps, a paladin says.
What are you paladins doing in this territory, Tsuki says changing his voice.
We are here to kill the Insect Queen, another paladin says.
Back away from this area we are leaving here so we are no threat to you or your people, Tsuki says.
I beg to differ, the leader of the force says.
Hmm how about this if I defeat you in combat will you back off, Tsuki says.
Alright, I can agree with that after all I am a High Paladin, the Leader says confidently.
Alright then, Dark Harvest, Tsuki says.
What Is this the paladin says impaled in the shoulder by a spear made of Tsuki’s mana.
I am a Warrior of the insect queen, Tsuki says trying to hold back his laughter.
Hmm, Sir we should retreat, a paladin tells the High Paladin stabbed in the leg.
Why is that, the Leader says.
He has omni-directional attacks and he didn’t break a sweat, a paladin says.
So, what we weren’t hit in any vital points so what is the point of retreat, the leader says.
Those who want to retreat should do so now, Tsuki says.
Most of the paladins retreat except for the Leader and one more.
Alright then Dark Fate, Tsuki says this and a Large Figure appears with white eyes and large hands.
The Figure reaches towards the leader and grabs him by the head.
I will give you one more chance, High Paladin, Tsuki says, crushing his skull.
I surrender, the leader says giving up and passing out.
Alright then Teleport center of Capitol, Tsuki says Smiling.
Tsuki then cancels his armor and returns to Chōko.
Chōko is knocked out and Tsuki picks her up and puts her down in the forest.
He returns to Edward, Alice and Niko and says, Hey guys return to town and get some rest I have some stuff I have to do here.
Ok, Edward says.
Alright, Niko says.
Tsuki then runs off and goes back to Chōko. Tsuki uses. House of Nature, Tsuki says making a house of wood and leaves.
He picks up Chōko and puts her inside.
He lays down and falls asleep on the floor.
Hello, what are you doing, Chōko says waking Tsuki up.
Hey, are you feeling better, Tsuki asks.
Yeah but I feel a pain in my chest every time I breathe, Chōko says.
That isn’t good can you move all of the insects from here, Tsuki asks.
Yeah I can and I will do it right now, Chōko says. Hey, tell me when you do that and then lay down and stay still, Tsuki says.
There it is, Chōko says. Alright then, Magic Barrier, Healing dome, Nectar of the world, Tsuki says.
It will take about 2 days for her to fully recover so I will stay here for now, Tsuki says.
What are you thinking, Chōko asks.
Don’t talk, you need to rest, Tsuki says.
Tsuki then activates his armor and walks outside.
Who are you, Tsuki asks a man hiding in the woods.
Hello, a man in a Yukata with a large Demon print says.
So who are you, Tsuki yelling. No need for you to worry about that, the man says, vanishing.
Who was that, Tsuki says.
Anyway, time to find food, Tsuki says forgetting all about what just happened.
I have Dried meat but overall I need more than that, Tsuki says.
Two days pass. Hey are you better, yet you insect, Tsuki says.
Hello, Tsuki and yeah I am, Chōko says waking up.
Ok then come on switch to your more human form, Tsuki says rushing her.
Chōko begins to shrink her wings and walks outside.
Hey I don't know if you know but you are naked Tsuki says.
What I am naked I forgot that becoming a more human would get rid of my insect armor.
Here, Tsuki says, taking off his shirt and handing it to her.
She puts it on and walks with Tsuki to the front gate of the city.
Hello, Reinhart Tsuki says still top less.
Why are you without a shirt, Reinhart asks.
Because I lost it, Tsuki says.
Alright, open the gate, Reinhart orders.
Alright time to go to the equipment store, Tsuki says.
Hey Tsuki, I am not very strong in carrying capacity.
I need light armor, Chōko says.
I know I figured as much, Tsuki says buying her leather armor and a sword.
Ok time to introduce the team you will be with, Tsuki says walking to the guild.
Alright time to get you signed up, Tsuki says.
Chōko puts her hand on the orb and gets her card. Strength 13 Speed 13 Magic 13 intelligence 17.
Does this mean I am the best in the group, Chōko says.
Here is my real Card, Tsuki says showing her his real stats.
What that isn't possible didn't you say you barely joined, Chōko says.
I need you to gather everyone up.
Tell them Tsuki is calling them, Tsuki says handing a picture of each of them.
Chōko begins to walk down the street and look for them.
Someone grabs her shoulder and she feels a large amount of blood lust behind her.
Hello ma'am but you have been selected for a random search, the man says.
Who are you? Tsuki says, approaching the man and Chōko.
I am Holy Grand Paladin second class, Samuel, the man says.
Sorry But I would rather you searched my bag, she has lady stuff in hers my is where you would find anything against code, Tsuki says.
It is ok I already got the report from Paladin Reinhart, Samuel says scoffing.
Alright then sorry for the trouble, we are looking for our companions, Tsuki says.
Ok then be on your way, Samuel says with hostility.
Hey, Chōko wear this, Tsuki says, handing her a large cloak that covers her whole body.
She puts it on blushing and walks alongside him. Hey, Fujiwara, Tsuki calls out seeing Niko buying fruit.
Hey, who is the new girl, Niko asks catching up with Tsuki.
She is a Insect queen, Tsuki says.
What the hell. How did manage to convince an insect queen to join us, Niko says. I will tell you later but at the moment if anyone asks race she is to says a Demi-human, so you are saying the same as a Felidae, Niko says.
Yes I am, Tsuki says. Anyway, where is Edward and Astrid, Tsuki asks Niko.
They are over there buying a pet, Niko says. Edward and Astrid run to Tsuki and show him a pet.
They had a 3 tailed Wolf, Edward says like a child. How much did it cost you, Tsuki asks. Only 499 thousand feneral, Edward says with a smile on his face.
You two are the dumbest people I have ever met, Tsuki says bluntly.
Anyway we need to get stronger and find about two more members, Tsuki says.
The time limit is till the beginning of the Winter festival, Tsuki says.
A week passes and Tsuki is walking in a alley.
Hello sir, Are you interested in slaves, a shady man says.
What slaves that is the most immoral thing I have heard. What kind of monster do you think I am, Tsuki yells.
Oh trust me you don't get in all morality with me after all the King himself has slaves, the man says.
After all, a man of your power needs someone to do small work, the man says.
Alright then what is the price for these "slaves" Tsuki asks but thinking, I need to free as many of them as possible I can tell that there is a person in this building that is the same level of mana as that Holy Grand Paladin I met a week ago.
3 thousand feneral, for children and 7 thousand for adults, 15 thousand for any special level races. I only have 30 thousand feneral, the man says.
Alright let's go, Tsuki says. That's less than that, dog that, Edward bought does that mean he values this people less than that merchant valued his animals, Tsuki thinks Gritting his teeth
Tsuki enters a large room with tons of cages containing Demi Humans, Elves, Humans, and Fairies.
Teleport Tsuki says getting his extra bag of money, (15 thousand Feneral).
Alright then let's go Tsuki says looking into the cages.
Tsuki then points at a woman in her twenties and with elven ears.
Alright then is that it, the man says.
No it isn't, Tsuki says.
I also want the Felidae man in the cage over there, Tsuki says.
Alright, continue browsing till you are done, the man says.
Give me the human twins in here Tsuki says.
Alright then, the man says marking the cages. Give me the fairy woman with the brown hair, give me the Eleven boy I'm over there and get me the Demon girl with the purple eyes, Tsuki says.
Alright then the Slaves total will cost you 44 thousand for a bulk sale, the man says.
Alright, Here you go, Tsuki says handing the money to him.
Alright then Tsuki says.
I will unlock the Gates and I will transfer the ownership to you, the man says.
Just a question, how does one deactivate the spell, Tsuki asks.
Well you require the permission of the owner and a drop of the slave's blood, and you must say, Release, Ownership, but why would anyone want to do that, the man says smiling as if he were the devil.
Alright thank you I will most likely be back Tsuki says.
After the man gives the people to Tsuki, Tsuki says Dark world rest, and grabs everyone that he bought.
Tsuki takes them to a building in the woods. And releases the spell.
Hello, Tsuki says.
Hello master they say shaking with fear and worry.
No need for that I don't believe in owning slaves. I simply got as many of you as I could, Tsuki says.
Alright then time to preform the Release Spell, Tsuki says.
He starts with the human twins and releases them. Alright then I will take care of all of you but not as a master but as a guardian Tsuki says handing the kids a piece of dried meat.
He then continues next with the elven lady, then the Felidae man, the elven child then The fairy woman, then the Demon girl. It is, Arisu, the demon girl says.
Alright here you guys go I can't afford very much but here you guys can have the rest of this, Tsuki says.
Why did you free us, the Felidae man asks with a piece of meat in his mouth.
I can't stand the corruption and crudity in this city. I am planning on overthrowing the this corrupt and unjust society here, Tsuki says upset.
Oh ok the Fairy woman says eating a piece of Meat.
Alright evidently I need to buy more food so stay here I will be back soon.
In a matter of seconds Tsuki teleports to the town center.
What do you think about that guy the elven boy asks the Fairy woman.
I think he is just and good of heart so I am going to help in his quest, the Felidae man says.
Tsuki then returns with Chōko, Niko, Edward, Astrid and her dog Inumaru.
Alright then, Niko and Astrid will stay here with you and make sure you are safe Me, Edward and Chōko are going to be going on missions to collect money for freeing the other slaves, Tsuki says showing a poster for hunting a Grand Wyvern for 50 thousand.
Alright then, time to hunt, Chōko says smiling.
See you guys, Tsuki says giving the people, a sack of dried fruit and dried meat.
Thank you, the twins say.
Tsuki and his team vanish to the top of the mountain near the city.
Hey Tsuki, why do you want to free these people in terms of the food chain you clearly have the authority to kill them or keep them as servants correct, Chōko asks.
Because these people have done nothing wrong and the monsters of this Kingdom are supporting these atrocities Tsuki says.
Alright then, I can support that Edward says charging ahead.
Out of nowhere the large wyvern pounces on top of Edward.
Tsuki charges at him using a sword made of Dark mana.
The Wyvern snaps it in half and attacks Chōko. Who creates a large mana spear and stabs it into the Wyvern.
It roars in pain and injects its venom into her arm. She screams and Tsuki teleports, switching places with Chōko.
What are you doing Tsuki? The venom is too potent.
Here you go give this to Chōko, Tsuki says, throwing a bottle labeled Wyvern Venom antidote.
Thank goodness Chizu gave me that Wyvern Venom, Tsuki says.
Tsuki then says. Dark Harvest, impaling the Wyvern in spikes.
It then began to spit venom at Tsuki. Dark Fate, Tsuki says as the Dark figure Grabs the Wyvern's head and forms a sword and decapitates it. What was that, Edward says afraid.
It was my Semi Ultimate Spell, Dark Fate, Tsuki says.
Thank you Tsuki for the Antidote, Chōko says.
It is fine, Tsuki says laying down. You guys go and get the reward.
I will meet you at the camp, Tsuki says.
Tsuki looks at his hand and grabs the small blade Edward had dropped and began to skin the Wyvern.
He returned to town and sold the skin, the venom, the horns and the teeth for a total of 300 thousand feneral.
He collected the money and went to a nearby manor with a sign listing it for sale. Hello sir are you the owner of this manor? Tsuki asked a well dressed man.
Yes it is, the man says. I would like to buy it from you, Tsuki says.
Hmm the Minimum price is 200 thousand feneral, the man says.
I will give you 250 thousand but I need it today at the latest Tsuki says.
Alright I want the money up front, the man says with the deed.
Tsuki signs the deal and now he has a home.
Alright then with the remainder of money I need to meet up with Edward and Chōko.
A couple hours later. Hey what are you guys doing. Tsuki says looking at the two sitting on the floor.
Waiting for you, Edward says.
Oh alright down these streets, Tsuki says.
The man from before greets him with a despicable smile.
Anyway what brings you here the man says.
I am here to buy more, Tsuki says.
Alright then, Come closer into the shop, the man says.
Alright what are you looking for today, the man says. Alright how much for everyone you have, Tsuki asks. Hmmm, Somewhere in the area of 150 thousand, the man says.
Alright then here is 100 thousand and I can offer you a Totem of Life, Tsuki says.
What is a Totem of Life, the man says. It is a Totem that as long as you have it will save you from a near death experience with out you having to worry about it, Tsuki says.
Now that does sound Appealing, the man says, Alright then the lot is your's and I do in fact owe you so as a added cost to myself you get a credit of 30 thousand and first pick on new slaves, the man says.
Alright then the list is 3 specials, A female demon, Female dryad and a male demon. Ok then off we go Tsuki says.
The man opens the gates and transfers all of the people.
Alright, contact me with a direct magic mail when you get more, Tsuki says walking off.
Alright Sir do come again, the man says.
Tsuki then Gathers up the cages and leaves to his new house.
Hey, Sir why did you sell everyone shouldn’t you have told him no, the man that Tsuki sensed says.
Yes but a Holy Item such as this you simply can’t pass up the man says.
Tsuki then gathers everyone at the house.
Alright then, Tsuki what are we going to do now, we have about 30 people and we need to get started on training, Tsuki says.
Arthur Location
Hey, Arthur says to Alice.
What do you want loser, Alice says back.
Loser why am I a loser Arthur asks.
Because you are a perverted sicko that is barely stronger than a slime, you are as lax we can be and you have zero manners, Alice says.
Arthur then says, ok first off I am a pervert but I am most definitely stronger and smarter than you, Arthur says.
Oh really, Alice says.
Yeah, really I could beat you with ease, Arthur says.
As if, Alice remarks.
The only person in this Kingdom that has a chance at beating me is Tadano or the lady I met when I first arrived Aina, Arthur says looking at Alice. .
Sorry but someone like you should focus on her studies, Arthur says.
There is the Quarterly National Tournament that is where it will be decided, Alice says.
Alright I have no objections with that, Arthur says.
Ok then it is settled, Alice says.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
One extra Condition the loser must do 3 things for the winner no matter what they are, Arthur says.
No if we are going that route then make it 10 things, Alice says.
Alright, Arthur says, grabbing his sword and going to train.
Why are you going to challenge that man the one recognized by the Koyama family, Himiko says Stuttering.
I need to show I am stronger than him stronger than anyone else, Alice says.
But you aren't, Tadano says entering the room.
That man acknowledged Tadano and not me, Alice says frustrated.
I think she is dumb, Himiko says to Tadano.
What was that Himiko, Alice says swinging at Himiko.
Tadano blocks her. What are you doing Alice you know that Himiko isn't a combat Felidae and yet you swung at her with a full force punch, Tadano says irritated.
You also aren't a Combat class Felidae yet you are acknowledged by the outsider, Alice yells.
Hello everyone have you seen Arthur, Aina says looking at Alice.
No ma'am he went to train about 10 mins ago, Alice says.
Question for you, Alice it is a serious crime for one to try and attack another, Aina says.
Well I can explain, Alice says trembling.
You know that if I report this you could get exiled, Aina says.
The only way for you to stay here and for me to over look this is for Tadano here to beat me in a fight, Aina says.
Why me, why do you want me to fight with you, Tadano says.
Because you were acknowledged by Arthur as my equal, Aina says.
What does that have to do with Alice's punishment, Tadano yells.
Well you 2 have lived in the same apartment for over a year you have the best connection with her out of everyone, Aina says.
Well that isn't true I hate her guts so what if she gets exiled that just means I don't have to deal with her, Tadano says.
No, you are lying Tadano, Arthur says entering the room.
What, Tadano says shocked. I am saying that you are lying the sound of your heart implies that you are in love if I am not mistaken you feel this way every time you are around, Alice, Arthur says.
What I don't know what you are talking about, Tadano says.
I am saying you wish to protect Alice, you only blocked Alice's strike because you feared for Himiko's safety as you know that Alice can kill a bear with her punch, Arthur says.
Hmm but I think that Tadano fighting you is a stretch, Arthur says to Aina.
I think that fighting me is a more appropriate test as I was the one that irritated Alice, Arthur says.
Alright then in the Storm Forest we will fight in two hours, Aina says walking off.
Alright I need help where is the Storm Forest, Arthur asks Himiko.
Oh,, the St..orm Forest is in the … area east of here, Himiko says Stuttering and not making sense.
Ok you aren't making sense you are going to guide me, Arthur says picking Himiko up.
Hey put me down, Himiko says boldly.
Sorry but if you want, Aina to stay with you I need you to guide me there as I haven't been here that long, Arthur says.
Alright then can you at least let me..me ride..ride on your back instead of you holding me like this..s, Himiko says.
Alright Arthur says stopping and putting Himiko on his back. Tha..nk y..ou, Himiko says.
16 minutes pass.
We are here, Himiko says scared.
Alright then stay here or go back If she plans to fight me for real I will likely end up dead I am pretty sure her mana type is light meaning that if I get hit by an all out attack I am probably going to die, Arthur says nervously.
What do you mean you will likely die, Himiko says without a stutter.
Well I am a demon, our race's weakness is the divine mana type, Arthur says.
Well then let someone else do it, Himiko says, beginning to tear up.
No worries you haven't known me that long it is fine just calm down, Arthur says.
No I won't, Himiko says, staring at Arthur.
Divine rest, Arthur says as Himiko begins to fall over.
What are you doing? Himiko says falling asleep.
It isn't anything bad, Arthur says, leaving a box next to her.
Arthur enters the Forest and disappears in the brush.
Ahh so you did show up, Aina says.
Yeah I did after all you threaten my roommates no matter how annoying they are that is a thing I will simply not accept, Arthur says.
I completely understand, Aina says coldly.
Does she really, Arthur says staring at her.
Aina charges at Arthur.
Arthur braces and blocks.
Aina breaks his block and uses divine magic to stab his abdomen.
Got to be honest with you Arthur, you are a let down, Aina says.
Sorry to disappoint, Arthur says, grabbing onto her arm.
Magical reinforcement, Skull, Arthur says head butting the Aina.
Damn you I didn’t expect you would head butt a woman, Aina says.
Well obviously you are going for killing blows I can’t really afford to hold back, Arthur says.
I know, but it is kinda thrilling to fight someone as determined as you, Aina says.
Arthur then grabs his sword and stabs Aina in her shoulder. Why does my arm feel heavy, Aina thinks.
I am sure you're feeling your arm getting heavier, Arthur says.
What did you do, Aina says.
A while back I discovered that this island has Paralysis-Apples so I made Paralysis-Juice and laced my sword with it, Arthur says.
That is the reason why, my arm is heavy, Aina says.
Give up Aina, Arthur says.
I refuse to surrender, Aina says, falling over.
She begins to bleed profusely.
Arthur picks her up and takes her to their apartment.
So what are you going to do to me, Aina says to Arthur.
Nothing I simply plan to heal you in a area that is safer, Arthur says with chills.
What do you mean safer, Aina responds.
No why you are saying you didn't feel that Blood Lust. There was someone there that could have wiped both of us ojt , Arthur says shaking.
He is shaking so much it's making my body tingle, Aina thinks Blushing while looking at Arthur's face.
Well speak for yourself I have hunted all types of beast and I will have you know that I am an expert, Aina says pridefully.
Suddenly someone appears before them a man in a Yukata with a large Demon print on it. Arthur freezes and Aina shuts up.
What is this, Arthur thinks.
Hello Arthur Dragonica, the man says. I simply am here to watch, the man continues but quickly leaves.
Arthur nearly drops Aina from shock.
What was that, Aina remarks, I don't know, Arthur replies trembling.
I only can say that was one of the most terrifying moment I have ever experienced, Arthur says still frozen.
I would say the same his presence was suffocating, Aina says still paralyzed.
Anyway, the poison should be wearing off soon, Arthur says.
Who was that guy his Aura was like couple hundred thousand times more potent than Calamity's, Arthur thinks scared.
What do you think about it Aina, Arthur asks Aina.
Aina then falls over and passes out. Hey are you alright Arthur yells at Aina.
He then picks her up and takes her to his apartment. Hey Himiko if I am not mistaken you are known as one of the leading students in your medical class right, Arthur says urgently.
Yes but I've never worked on a real person, Himiko says.
It is alright Arthur says handing Tadano a potion.
What is this, Tadano yells at the now leaving Arthur.
It is the Healing magic of an angel give it to her, Arthur says running off.
Oh ok, Tadano says confused.
Hinata location
Where is she, Hinata says out loud.
Hey sir, there isn't any sign of the girl that you are looking for, a man from behind Hinata says.
But sir there has been a increase in abductions and human trafficking as of recent.
Well can I get in contact with the people running these operations, Hinata says frustratedly.
Yes sir we actually already have a mole in one of the larger operations, a woman behind Hinata says.
What are you thinking, a man says appearing next to him.
I am thinking there is about a 80 percent chance that she is in one if the operations, Hinata says.
Hinata then sits down and begins to focus. He begins to expand his mana reach.
He begins to see everyone's mana.
The mana of Elves and other Demi Humans. But two stand out, one of divine nature and one of Dark nature.
Alright I need to investigate something Hinata says running off.
What is he thinking the man says confused. Hinata begins running off toward the dark energy and runs into a woman with brown hair and steely eyes.
Hello, Revolutionary Hinata, the woman says.
I am not a revolutionary, Hinata says. I would beg to differ considering you are causing a ruckus in the city and disturbing the peace, the woman says.
Well I am looking for someone that is all I am here to do, Hinata says Sharply.
So who exactly are you, Hinata asks.
I am Misaki, one of the few remaining 108 Desires.
What do you mean few 108 desires, Hinata asks confused.
Do you mean you haven’t heard of the 108 Desires, the woman says defensively.
No I haven't. I have heard of the Seven Sins, The 12 Shinigami and the 7 Warlords of Purgatory, the Guardian Pillars and the 7 Devils, Hinata says bluntly.
Well the 108 Desires we're known as one of the strongest forces of the Demon Lord's army, Misaki says.
Then why are there only a few of you left, Hinata asks without any sympathy.
Well it was because of the Sins, it took just one of them to destroy over 90 percent of our group, Misaki says.
Which one was it, Hinata says sitting down. It was the brother of Sloth that bastard Pride killed everyone that I know, Misaki says tearing up.
I understand were you are coming from, Hinata says.
What the hell would a brat, as young as you know about losing everyone you have ever loved in one filed swoop so don't talk as if though you know anything, Misaki yells at Hinata.
Pride Killed then, Ankoku says shocked and frustrated.
What is up, Ankoku, Hinata says aloud.
I am in the same boat Pride killed most of the Shinigami we were reduced to only 6, Ankoku says.
Who are you talking to, Misaki says.
Oh I am surprised you didn't notice I am the host of Ankoku the Leader of the Shinigami inside of me, Hinata says.
Oh ok then so you have a total Idiot inside of you, Misaki says.
What, Ankoku, says offended.
I could wipe that wimpy demon piece of trash off the face of the earth, Misaki says.
You obstinate, ugh, Ankoku says.
If you want you could try your hand against him, Hinata says.
Hmm Interesting so do you think that your demon is strong enough to beat me, Misaki says.
Yeah Actually I do, Hinata says boldly.
Well I respectfully disagree, Misaki says.
Then follow me, Hinata says annoyed.
Alright then, Misaki says following him to a open field 30 kilometer away from the city.
Alright then I will let Ankoku take over for 4 mins if you can beat him I will swear my allegiance and my soul to you, Hinata says fearlessly.
And if I lose, Misaki asks curiously.
Then you will serve my faction and its needs, Hinata says.
Alright, Hinata that sounds fair enough, Misaki says confidently.
Well then what are the conditions for victory, Misaki asks.
There are two ways to win by restraining your opponent for 10 seconds or by knocking them out, Hinata says, growing Ankoku’s mask.
Well a Shinigami’s full sure is intimidating, Misaki mocks Ankoku's Cracked full form.
Misaki begins to approach Ankoku.
Misaki sprints towards him and grabs on to his shirt, bringing him to the ground.
In a matter of 2 seconds, Ankoku flips, Misaki over and pins her down, winning the match.
Problem with you is the fact that you thought you could take on one of the Shinigami trained personally by Lady of Wraith Megumi, Ankoku says proudly.
Misaki begins to pout and sits on the ground upset.
Hinata takes over his body and the mask vanishes.
So looks like you serve me and my group, Hinata says smiling.
What are you smiling about, Misaki says kicking at Hinata.
Misaki then grabs her leg and clenches it. What is it, Hinata asks.
I think I sprained my leg, Misaki says.
What do you mean you hurt your leg, Hinata says sympathetically.
It isn’t my fault that Ankoku is both a brute and a prick, Misaki says.
Hop on, Hinata says getting ready to pick her up.
What are you doing, Misaki yells.
I am helping you after all we have beds and a decent place to sleep not that far from here, Hinata says.
Well what if I just killed you, Misaki tells Hinata.
I would like to see you try Misaki of Obstinacy, Hinata says.
Alright then, Misaki says charging at Hinata.
Solar Eclipse, Hinata says as Misaki is enclosed in an orb of darkness with a large object flying towards her, as she shakes and falls over then it disappears as Hinata falls over.
What was that? Misaki says shaking.
Then Misaki approaches his body and unsheaths her knife.
I would recommend against that, Ankoku says in Misaki’s head.
What why, Misaki asks.
Because Hinata has 3 friends that are stronger than he is if they found out that you were the one that killed Hinata they would most likely torture you till they are satisfied and I heard that Koyama’s can hold a extreme grudge, Ankoku says smiling on the inside.
Misaki drops her knife on the floor and picks Hinata up.
Alright then time to get Hinata somewhere safe, Misaki says scared of the thought that there were more than 3 mortals stronger than him.
Alright Earth home, Misaki says. She puts him on a stone slab and covers him with a large cloak in her bag.
When Hinata awakes Misaki is standing over him. Why didn't you kill me when I was asleep, Hinata asks, confused.
Because of your power you might be able to get strong enough to beat Pride, Misaki says thinking about what Ankoku said.
Hey sir Hinata we have located Lady Kiyo, a man says out of breath.
Alright then tell me where and I will go there at once, Hinata says tiredly.
No sir you can't, a man by the name of Wilbur has destroyed the operation, the man says.
Wilbur did, Hinata asks.
Describe him to me, Hinata asks.
He has Green eyes and brown hair he is definitely above average height 5'10 to 6'1.
They say that he destroyed the operation because one of the members tried to steal his swords, the man says.
Hmm did you get to see the swords he used, Hinata asks.
Yes I did, one was a Nodachi and the second was a Katana, The man says.
Alright then so based off your report I know the man you speak of, Hinata says.
What you know the man that took down the slave operation, the man says shocked.
Misaki grabs Hinata’s arm and looks at him. What is it Misaki, Hinata says.
How did you get control of someone like Ankoku, Misaki says.
Well we have a common goal now, Hinata says.
What do you mean a common goal, Misaki asks.
He wants to become a stronger demon than Calamity and I want to become stronger than Tsuki, Hinata says grabbing the cloak Misaki covered him with.
Actually this is one of the best opportunities to test to see if I am stronger than Wilbur, Hinata says, grabbing his sword. Hinata, I don't think this is a good Idea, Ankoku says panicked.
Why, do you say that, Hinata asks. Because he said that guy Wilbur destroyed that pretty well established operation in less than a day, Ankoku says.
That means that Wilbur is a decent bit stronger than you are, Ankoku says.
Hmm, seems that you don’t have any confidence in me, Hinata says.
The operation is in the southernmost section of town, the man says.
Alright then I think that I can figure out where he is by the smell, Hinata says running off.
I guess I am going to follow him, Misaki says, running after Hinata.
Two hours later Hinata makes it to the wreckage of the battle and sees Wilbur sitting on the ground next to Kiyo and others in rags.
Hinata covers his face and jumps towards Wilbur. Wilbur gets up and blocks Hinata’s Attack.
Hmm I think I know this fighting style, Wilbur says confused.
Hinata begins releasing a large barrage of strikes trying to break through Wilbur's Ultimate Defense “Wind Barrier”.
Damn I knew that it was going to be tough but Wilbur has gotten a lot stronger, I don’t want to use Ankoku to win, Hinata thinks struggling against Wilbur.
Ultimate move Hurricane, Wilbur says engulfing Hinata in the spell. Misaki appears and swings at Wilbur.
Wilbur gets cut and looks at Misaki. Are you dense can’t you see his hair and face, Misaki yells causing Wilbur and Kiyo to look at Hinata lying on the floor bleeding.
Hinata, Wilbur and Kiyo yell running toward Hinata.
So who are you, Wilbur says looking at Misaki. I could ask you the same, Wilbur, you appear here out of nowhere and took down this entire slave operation without knowing where it is, Misaki says Accusing Wilbur.
Why would I ever do something as absolutely sick as owning slaves , Wilbur says getting up and then looks down at Misaki.
Hmm you want to fight Misaki says angrily looking up at Wilbur.
Stop Kiyo yells at both of them.
Why should I, Wilbur is the one who started it, Misaki says.
It doesn't matter no matter who is at fault both of you are just annoying me while I am trying to heal him, Kiyo yells.
Oh, Sorry but he started it, Misaki says, continuing to argue.
What are you talking about, Wilbur says yelling. Wilbur wakes up.
Man looks like I am not as strong as I thought, Hinata says, passing out again.
I told you that. I was positive that there was no way you were going to beat him, Ankoku says.
I know but I needed to see for myself, Hinata says to Ankoku unconscious.
Let’s do mind training while you recover, another problem is your weak in terms of willpower that is why it took everything that you had just to overpower me when taking control, Ankoku says.
I know Alright then let go at it then, Hinata says charging at Ankoku.
Ryan’s location
Where am I, Ryan says getting up. Hello boy, an old man says.
Where am I, Ryan says again panicked.
You are in the Island of the 4 sages, the old man says.
The Island of sages so you mean an Island full of old geezers, Ryan says.
The Old man smacks him with a large Wooden Stick.
What the hell was the for, Ryan yells.
For the old Geezer comment, the old man says.
Well come on, the old man says.
What for, Ryan says.
Well to train to develop Mana don’t you want to unlock it, the Old man says.
I can't, I simply don’t have any, Ryan says.
No trust me boy you most definitely do. It is just a bit more harder to use. Then everyone else's My guess is someone put a curse on your mana flow and now you haven’t developed it when you should have, the old man says.
What that it the dumbest thing I have ever heard, Ryan says doubtfully.
What are you dumb boy I am over 4 million years old I am a sage and I know more about this world than, the old man says as Ryan wonders off.
So who are these guys, Ryan thinks sitting on a balcony.
Hello, another man says.
Who are you, Ryan responds bluntly.
I am a Great Sage, the man says sitting at a table.
I can tell that the guy you refer to as old geezer is right I am quite a bit older than him and it is substantially easier for me to detect this power, the man says.
Oh, where are my manners, I am Tetsuki I am the great sage of the wind, I am know as the strongest and wisest of the sages, the man says.
Hey Ryan come here, Tetsuki says. What is it Mr. Tetsuki, Ryan says.
Alright sit 2 feet in front of me and sit perfectly still for 3 weeks and then we will break the curse, Tetsuki says.
What 3 weeks how the hell am I going to eat, Ryan yells.
You will be fed by helpers at the temple, Tetsuki says.
That doesn't explain how I am supposed to remain still, Ryan yells.
Connor's location
Wake up you waste of space, a man in armor yells at Connor who is tied up.
Connor wakes up, bloodied and bruised. It was your fault that you upset The Governor of Ishida, the man says bluntly.
If you are going to kill me then please do it now, Connor says bloodied and coughing.
You will end up being executed, in town square, the man says.
Oh ok, Yamaki, Connor says coughing up more blood smiling smugly.
Hehe, I can’t believe you remember my name, the man says, handing him some onigiri.
I guess it was my fault, Connor says eating them.
I don’t really understand why I am getting killed, Connor says.
Well you hit a member of the royal family, Yamaki says.
Yeah but what makes them better than me or you, Connor says looking up.
Nothing besides money I guess, Yamaki says looking to the blood covered torture room ceiling.
Hehe, Connor laughs, passing out from blood loss.
I am sorry, Yamaki says leaving the room.
Connor wakes up an hour later and looks around the dimly lit room.
Someone opens the large Iron door and begins taking him upstairs and to a begins to put him in a guillotine.
Serves you right, a royal says walking down.
Alright then in 30 seconds you will die, the executioner says, beginning to shed a tear.
Yeah I guess I will, Connor says smiling as the blade begins to fall.
The blade breaks as Saburō blocks it with his scales.
What, The executioner says shocked.
Aiden and Mouse appear and group together at the guillotine.
Hey Saburō break that lock and let’s get out of here, Aiden yells.
What Mouse, Aiden and Saburō what are you three doing here, Connor says tiredly.
Saving you, we are here to save a troublemaker with a larger bounty than a pirate warlord, Aiden says.
Connor begins to fade out of consciousness.
Alright Saburō grab him and get out of here and Mouse go with him, Aiden says grinning.
Hey guys flash bomb, Aiden yells.
Suddenly someone rips, Aidens left arm off.
Saburō and Mouse look back in shock. What the hell, Aiden yells in pain. Oh my, I am simply lending a hand, the man says.
You are Solomon the bounty hunter, the man that took down one of the warlords of purgatory that escaped, Aiden says shaking.
Yeah that guy was practically a complete amature, Solomon says.
What is going on here, Alphonse says.
A mere child, Solomon says laughing.
Man Aiden is scared of you, Alphonse says.
Well yeah, I am the one who took down a warlord of purgatory some of the worst demons ever, Solomon says confidently.
Man what a joke, you really think defeating a Warlord makes you hot stuff I guarantee that in terms of power I am far greater than a mere Warlord, Alphonse says giggling.
Suddenly Alphonse transforms into a being whose shadow begins to swallow the sun. What the hell is that, Solomon yells.
Cover your eyes Allies for this power uses the concept of Absolute True Infinity, but releases it on a much larger scale, Alphonse says to their heads.
Aiden, Mouse and Saburō shield their eyes and continue running off.
What was that Mouse yells running? That is Alphonse’s true magic The Awakened, Aiden says running.
What would happen if we look at it, Mouse asks.
Similar to what would happen after long exposure to Kenjiro’s dimension, you would begin to go insane and would go on a killing frenzy, Saburō says.
What are you serious, Aiden says. Alright guys you can open your eyes, Alphonse says falling to the floor.
Mouse go and get him if you don’t then he will be killed, Aiden says. Alright, Mouse says, retrieving him.
Toby’s Location
Where I am Toby, Grunts and yells.
I don’t know but the three of you idiots have been sleeping for weeks, Draco says.
Toby looks around and sees Hina and George. That is Demon Princess Hina, Toby yells.
So who cares, Draco says bored and wandering off.
Toby tries to kill her as she is passed out, and begins to almost make contact when Taiyō appears and grabs his hand and flips him over. What the hell, Toby says coughing.
Why are you trying to kill this girl, Taiyō asks Toby.
Because she is a literal descendant from the Demon Lord himself, Toby says.
So who cares, to judge someone before they even have shown their true colors is immoral.
You don’t know her and you know absolutely nothing about what her motives were, Taiyō says out of breath.
So what does that matter she is a demon princess that means we should get rid of a threat, Toby says.
No, and that is final, Taiyō says pushing Toby back with mana.
Well alright, Toby says backing off whilst shaking. Alright since you are so trigger happy go and grab the guy over there and bring him here, Taiyō says.
Alright , Toby says, retrieving George.
Hey lady are you awake, Draco asks Hina.
What are you, Toby says, putting George down and looking at Draco and Taiyō.
So hey, how did we get here, Taiyō asks George.
Well from what I remember Calamity had attacked and well was beating all of us pretty bad, but then Tsuki began to fight him on a get a few hits in.
Suddenly Yami arrived and then in an instant Calamity began blowing himself up.
Last I remember before getting teleported Tsuki was falling over, George says getting up.
Tsuki is the one with White hair and Red eyes right, Taiyō says.
Yes his name is Tsuki Koyama he is probably the strongest trainee in both factions, Toby says sitting down.
You really think so, Draco says. Most definitely no one can compete with Tsuki and his eyes, Toby says.
Alright it is late, and we have no clue where we are.
It's best to sleep, we will need the energy tomorrow, Draco says, getting out a pair of futons made of leaves.
Alright then who is getting these futons, Draco says giggling.
What do you mean who gets these, Toby says angrily.
Well I made 3 of these and Hina is currently using that one so it is between you two I am used to sleeping on the ground but Taiyō is very stubborn on sleeping on one so it is between the two of you to decide, Draco says smiling.
You are such an ass, Toby says.
Well I can sleep on the ground, George says.
Damn that vampire, Toby says under his breath.
Everyone is asleep whilst Toby once again tries to attack Hina.
Wow I really thought you were at least a bit smarter than that, Draco says pinning Toby.
Now go to bed and let it go if she tries to attack, me and Taiyō will deal with it, Draco says.
Alright then Toby says laying down on the futon.
She is a threat but I can't just let her be killed before I can question her myself, Draco thinks.
Hey, Hina wakes up and pulls on Draco's robe. What is it girl, Draco asks.
Thank you, Hina says weakly.
Question for you, Draco says to Hina. What is it, Hina responds.
Can you tell me all of your brothers, Draco asks.
Yes I can if you want, Hina says.
Tazu, Julius and I forgot his name, Hina says thinking.
Hmm I see, so there are three brothers, Draco thinks.
Hmmm, Hina says sitting down. Can I have some of your blood, Draco asks Hina.
What you want my blood, Hina says panicked. Just a drop, Draco says.
Oh ok, Hina says Poking her finger and sticking it at Draco.
Draco collects it in a tiny flasks and drinks it. Hmmm using my vampiric ability I can see this person's family tree.
Ok then connected by blood the closest Tazu, Julius and what the hell not even my magic can see this guy what the hell, Draco says awakening.
So why did you need my blood, Hina asks. Because I was trying to figure out your other brother but I couldn't, Draco says disappointed.
Hina's other brother has a curse on him that is hiding him from everyone.
Arthur Location
Alright then Quarterly National Tournament Begins tomorrow, Alice says excited.
Alright I wonder what the reward for this year's tournament is, Alice says excitedly.
I heard it is a Magi fruit, Tadano says. Oh really, Alice says excitedly.
Oh what element is it, Arthur asks. Last I heard it was Lightning, Himiko says Shyly.
Alright then there is cause for getting pumped up, Arthur says.
Do you have a list of the participants, Arthur asks.
What do you mean you were given one by the attendant, Alice yells.
I lost it, Arthur says.
Ok here, Alice says handing a paper to Arthur.
Hmm ok then it seems looks like most of the participants are using fake names, Arthur says.
What are you talking about you are using a fake name to, Alice says.
What are you talking about, Tadano says, He is going into the tournament as Excalibur, Alice says.
That is kinda lame, Tadano says.
What It is not lame, Arthur says upset. It is, Himiko says Stuttering.
Arthur leaves and begins to walk to the arena. Lighting Dragon and God of Fairies these names sound so stupid, Arthur says laughing at the names.
Arthur draws his sword and looks at its dozens of chips running along the edge.
I need to get it fixed, Arthur says looking around.
Hey, A kid yells from around a corner playing with a ball with another kid.
I need to find a blacksmith, Arthur thinks walking off.
Hey kid are you planning on entering the tournament, a man covered in soot says.
Yeah I am, Arthur says.
Hmm then do you need your blade sharpened, the man in soot says.
Yes I do, Arthur says, handing it to the man.
The blade falls to the ground and shatters the tile underneath him.
What the hell, I am sorry sir but it looks like I can't repair your blade as I can't hold it, the man says.
Arthur picks it up and a figure inside of it sticks out its tongue and mocks him.
It is alright if it is an impossible blade to fix just let me buy another, Arthur says to the smith.
Suddenly the figure begins panicking and begins to beg.
Alright Can you just get me a wet stone and I will do it myself, Arthur says.
Arthur begins to walk back to his apartment to get himself ready. Hey, Arthur, Alice says, staring at him.
Hey Alice, Arthur responds. So how are you feeling, Alice says smiling.
Fine I guess, Arthur says.
Alright You may be just fine but I am ecstatic about the tournament, Alice says getting up.
You know that the chances of you actually making it to the final round are about 1/1000 right, Himiko says.
Oh so when you are talkative you like to smack talk, Alice yells back.
Yeah it is because I have the real names of everyone in the contest and the set up, Himiko says shaking a bit.
Alright give me the paper, Arthur says grabbing the sheet, Ok me and some guy named Alex are first round, second round is Alice and some guy named Ignis.
Third round is wait what Rairyū, Arthur yells. Do you know him, Alice says.
Yes I do if anyone is going to beat me it is him, he is a DragonMaster so he is dangerous, Arthur says.
Oh alright, Alice says.
There are actually 4 threats, Arthur says, shivering.
Really who, Alice says looking, at the paper.
This guy, Isamu, is a strong fighter.
This guy here BlackMane he is regarded as Lord of the new world's ocean, Arthur says.
And of course Aina, Arthur says giving Himiko her report back.
Alright I'm off, Arthur says walking off. Well I am coming with you, Alice says.
Alright then but don't bother me, Arthur says.
What is wrong with you I am a pretty girl wanting to follow you and you are acting like a jerk, Alice says.
Because you are an annoyance to those around you, Arthur says.
What are you talking about plenty of people want to be around me, Alice says.
Name 3, Arthur remarks. Tadano, Himiko and my mom, Alice says.
Nope I sure don't, Himiko says.
What, Alice says shocked.
Yeah I don't think Tadano likes it either, Himiko continues.
There is no way, Tadano doesn't like hanging out with me, Alice says beginning to tear up.
Well then let's ask him, Himiko says.
Alright he should be back in the next 10 mins. Sorry I have to get going, Arthur says leaving.
Man they are so annoying I mean like I am a perv and scum but I can't even think of them as girls simply annoying people I live with, Arthur says.
Oh hey Arthur, Tadano says. Hey I would wait like 20 mins before going home, Arthur says.
Why what is going on, Tadano says. Nothing just Himiko and Alice arguing.
Oh alright then I bought groceries but I guess I will just go to the tournament, Tadano says.
Also just so you know I am 95 percent sure Alice is in love with you, Arthur says.
What do you mean in love with me, Tadano says awkwardly.
Hey why are you going to participate in the Tournament, Tadano asks.
Because I want to know what the reward is, Arthur says.
Well what are you hoping it is, Tadano asks. I am hoping for a Harem, Arthur says daydreaming.
That is a bit weird but ok, Tadano says following Arthur.
How is it weird I just want a harem, Arthur says.
I just think it is a bit strange for someone who's is so strong to have such a shallow goal, Tadano says.
Arthur makes a face of displeasure.
Anyway what were you talking about Alice liking me, Tadano asks.
I may or may not have gone through her bag and found a love note, Arthur says.
What you went through her bag that’s an evasion of her privacy, Tadano says.
It is fine. I only found the note; it was a pile of books and paper. I found the note and opened it.
It is going to be a secret admirer note though but it definitely said your name, Arthur says.
Anyway we made it to the arena. I have to get ready if the people who I think are there then it is going to be quite the challenge, Arthur says smiling.
Alright see you during the match, Tadano says. Arthur walks into the arena and sees Rairyū and Isamu talking.
Who are you, A giant Lion man says.
Hmmm I am Arthur and you are, Arthur says looking up at him.
I am BlackMane the Pirate Lord, the Lion man says.
Hmm alright see you in the match, Arthur says going around him.
Hey Isamu and Rairyū, Arthur says calling out to Rairyū.
Is that Arthur, Rairyū says.
Yeah it is, Isamu says.
Hey, Arthur, Rairyū says.
I can guess why you are here, Isamu says looking at him. I am not here for anything bad, Arthur says.
Really, I highly doubt that, Isamu says. It is the truth, Arthur versus Alex, the announcer bellows. Where is Alice she needs to make it here, Arthur says.
Alice's Location in a sewer
Hello girls, a lizardman says.
Get away from me, Alice yells kicking and screaming.
No one is going to find you, the lizardman says.
I know someone will, Alice yells afraid.
Why did you do this? Himiko yells without stuttering.
Because I like Felidae girls, the lizardman says like a pervert.
Suddenly a sewer grate falls from a kilometer away.
What, no one could have found me this quickly, the lizardman says getting into an attack position.
What animal is Tadano connected to, Alice asks Himiko.
I believe a wolf, Himiko responds.
Tadano suddenly appears from the darkness.
Suddenly, the lizardman pounces at Tadano.
Tadano moves out of the way and says Ice Guardian.
As he says this a large Ice Figure appears and begins to charge the lizardman.
I need to make it to Alice and Himiko. This move takes a lot out of me.
Tadano thinks making a dash for Alice and Himiko.
Tadano suddenly falls over and begins to bleed on the ground. Ice Saw, Tadano says launching and tiny saw made of ice that cuts Alice's ropes. Alice looks and him and smiles. She jumps and picks Tadano up and unties Himiko while the Lizardman is busy with the Ice Golem.
Himiko and Alice carry Tadano out of the sewer. Himiko I need you to take Tadano I need to go to the tournament.
You smell disgusting, Himiko says. It doesn't matter, Alice says, running to the arena.
Tsuki Location
I need you two to finish a mission I need to train some more and we need money bad, Tsuki says.
Sir, you want me to work with her to Slay a group of Wyvern, Edward says.
Yes I do you two are the strongest people I can trust, Tsuki says.
I need to work to get stronger if we're going to beat the government Grand High Paladins, Tsuki says.
I understand, Chōko says.
Alright thanks guys, Tsuki says cheerfully.
Tsuki goes and begins to train. I can't believe I got sent on a mission with you, Edward says frustrated.
You got a problem with it, talk to Tsuki about it, Chōko says.
Anyway how are we going to deal with the Wyverns, Edward says pouting.
Quiet down up ahead is the Wyvern nest, Edward says. The chance of us surviving this, is less than two percent, Chōko says.
If worse comes to worse, I want you to tell Tsuki that I like him, Chōko says.
What do you mean you like him, Edward asks.
I mean I like him there isn't another definition for like is there, Chōko says.
Alright then, I will tell Tsuki, Edward says. I am going in first you back me up, Edward says. No, I should go in. I am like 3 levels higher than you, Chōko says. Chōko rushes in without another word.
Edward follows behind her. Suddenly they are surrounded by Adolescent Wyverns. Chōko begins cutting through them and tearing through them.
As they finish they are both suddenly fall over. What is this, Edward says coughing up blood. It is the Alpha and Beta wyverns, Chōko says, coughing up blood as well.
Edward get out of here there is no way we can kill these things make sure to tell Tsuki I love him, Chōko says smiling at him with sincerity.
Suddenly the large Claw of the Wyvern Crushes Chōko.
Chōko Edward yells beginning to get up.
What the hell, Chōko says right next to Edward.
Man what a pain you guys are, can't you deal with a couple of weak lizards by yourself, after this I have a mind to kick you out of the group, Tsuki says holding the claw up.
Tsuki, Chōko says getting red.
Anyway Stop Lizards, Tsuki says Activating his eye.
The Lizard jumps back and begins to lower itself. The Beta Lizard Lays down and stays still.
So the Alpha is the one that tried to kill my party member, Tsuki says.
Dark Fate, Tsuki says Causing a dark Figure to emerge from his shadow. Now Harvest, Tsuki commands.
The Figure forms a Scythe and it cuts the Wyvern's head off in between zero time. Alright guys, time to head back, Tsuki says picking up the now unconscious Edward.
Hey Tsuki when did you get here, Chōko asks.
Hmmm let's see about 3 seconds before the claw raised above your head, Tsuki says.
Chōko begins to blush and she then faints from exhaustion.
Tsuki then begins to cough up blood and creates a Space to hold Chōko and Edward.
I need to get them, back to the city, Tsuki says, continuing on his way.
Arthur's Location
Alright then the Tournament starts right now, the Announcer bellowed beginning the match between Alex and Arthur.
Alex charges at Arthur as Arthur continues to block the flurry of attacks.
Arthur moves back and begins to think, what am I going to do? This guy has a all Element immunity. I can’t beat him with pure force, Arthur thinks, beginning to swing at him.
Reverse, Alex says, launching the damage back at him.
Holy Rest, Arthur says smiling causing Alex to fall asleep.
The winner is Excalibur(AKA Arthur), The announcer yells.
Next round Tsu versus Alice, daughter of last year's champion Tremor, The Announcer says pridefully.
Alice charges Tsu.
Tsu begins to stumble and fall over barely dodging Alice's sword.
Tsu Kicks Alice and hits her sword. Tsu gets up and begins saying a spell.
Guardian of the Ocean Mizuchi, Tsu yells Summoning a Dragon made of water.
This is insane, Arthur says from the side lines.
Alice charges towards Tsu but is blocked by The Dragon.
Now go forth and destroy my opponent. Suddenly the Dragon begins glaring at the stands and looks at a man adorned with a Yukata with a large Dragon print.
Suddenly the Dragon disappears as quickly as it was summoned.
What happened, Tsu yells falling over and raising her hands in the air. Winner is Alice by forfeit, the announcer says.
Next round is BlackMane the ruthless pirate lord versus Kanna.
BlackMane begins to laugh and grin. BlackMane begins to rip at her clothing using his mana.
He begins to smile a wicked and deranged smile. In a matter of Seconds, Arthur, Isamu and Rairyū have their blades at BlackMane's Throat.
How dare you defile a lady, Rairyū says with extreme blood lust. there is only one punishment for someone like you, Rairyū says Creating a surge of lightning through out.
BlackMane that stops his mana output. Now you will never be able to use Mana again so long as you live. That is the one advantage of you being weaker than me, Rairyū says looking at BlackMane with a cold and emotionless stare.
Arthur walks over to the girl and hands her his coat.
The announcer is frozen. A large crash comes from the center of the arena.
What is that? Isamu says. You all I am sure are aware that you have violated a sacred rule of the Tournament, a large man says.
Yes we are, Rairyū says confronting him.
Well then alright this match is over the winner is BlackMane, the man says.
The 3 of you will meet me in the top floor of the arena to discuss, your punishment, the man says picking up the girl and walking out of the arena.
Alright folks, grab food and drinks Because in 30 mins the tournament will continue, the announcer says.
In the meeting hall. Hey get off me dad, Kanna says pushing the large man.
Huh, Rairyū, Arthur and Isamu think.
Anyway I have to tell you thank you for helping my daughter, the man says smiling.
No problem but you did say we were going to get punished.
I have no intention of punishing the three of you. But I have to tell you that the prize is marring my daughter, and 100 million feneral, the man says.
That is messed up. I am a dirty pervert but your daughter should choose her own husband don't you think, Arthur says looking at the man.
Kanna begins to blush and hides behind a couch.
Well you do have a point, the man says.
Alright, you are the one that saved her so you have a point. Hey, Kanna who do you want to marry, the man asks her.
She tells him and he smiles. Alright then Go and win the tournament you three, he says smiling.
Anyway see you later, Arthur says.
Rairyū and Isamu wave and leave the room.
Alright everyone get to your seats because we have The Lightning Dragon and Tsuma the Forest.
Lightning Strike low voltage, Rairyū says Creating a cloud and releasing it.
Tsuma gets knocked out and Rairyū catches her.
Alright then the winner is Rairyū in a matter of seconds, the announcer yells.
Alright next round Elaine versus Guardian of the Royal family, Aina, the announcer says excitedly. Aina charges at Elaine.
Elaine counters by creating a wall of fire. Aina moves around it and slices at Elaine's arm. Total Guilt, Elaine says.
Aina falls to the ground and says, I surrender.
Hmmm so here magic relies on their opponent to take more than one hit to knock them out, Arthur says in the stands.
Next round will soon begin, the Announcer yells. Isamu versus Kai, Announcer yells.
Isamu walks to the center and unveils his wings. A fairy, The crowd roared in a mix of excitement and distastefulness.
Kai just stared in shock and fright. Kai leaped at Isamu and began to breathe Flames at Isamu. Isamu then said, Garden of Eden Pollen of Rest. Kai began to pass out, and fall over. The Next two people forfeited so the next round is going to be tomorrow for the quarter finals.
Alright see you guys, Arthur says to Isamu and Rairyū as they leave.
Arthur makes it to his Apartment and sees Tadano on the ground asleep.
Hey Alice put Tadano in bed, Arthur tells Alice.
Alright Alice says laying out a futon, Arthur goes and takes a shower, he finishes then hears Alice yell.
What is it, Arthur says, running out shirtless to see a sleeping Tadano making a kissy face at Alice while holding on to her. Your problem, Arthur says going back to the bathroom.
What do you mean by my problem, Alice says.
Arthur walks out 10 mins later and sees Alice asleep underneath Tadano's arm. Arthur walks into his room and sees Himiko going through his bag. What are you doing, Arthur says. Himiko gets scared and hits her head on Arthur's chair. Nothing I swear, Himiko says sketchily.
Alright then can you leave, Arthur says.
Hmm ok, Himiko says running out.
Arthur lays down onto his futon and begins to dream for the first time in 50 years.
It is Dark, Dark as (Tsuki's Spacial magic).
I am so sick of this, I am not charming.
I have been alive for 155 years and I have never had a girlfriend, Arthur thinks in the Darkness of his dream.
Himiko appears and begins to laugh.
A figment of my mind, Arthur says confused.
Then a group of figures appear as they get closer and he sees their faces.
The faces of his friends. Arthur begins to cry and falls into a further depression.
It is ok, a figure with Tsuki’s appearance says but fades as quickly as it had appeared.
I am a failure of a person. I have been alive for 155 years and I haven't managed to do anything that was worth even a grain of salt on this planet, Arthur says.
Arthur begins to break down and look at his surroundings a field begins to form with a large Spruce tree in the center of it. Surrounding the field is a thick fog.
A woman appears under the tree and sits beneath it. Arthur begins to wake up.
Hey you idiot wake up, Alice says red as a tomato.
Alright, Arthur says in a sad and almost scared tone.
Alice looks at him worried.
Arthur grabs his sword and begins his walk to the arena.
What is the point in living if I am nothing more than a waste of space in this universe Arthur mutters to himself crying.
Why have the gods left such a pathetic creature like me on this earth for so long, Arthur says sitting on the alley floor.
I should just die, Arthur says looking at a cat digging through a trash can.
Maybe Alice could kill me if I don’t fight back, Arthur says getting up and continuing on his way to the arena.
Arthur putting on a mask similar to a tengu.
I hate kind people their smiles and laughs are nothing more than a mask that they wear to not only fool others but the themselves into thinking that they can help and protect everyone such a sicking idea, but the worst are those that wear masks to trick others they wear the most wicked and disgusting masks of them all. They Deceive and toy with others for their own benefit to help suit their needs without regard to those around him. But once these masks shatter they reveal the true personalities and, dark secrets that lie beneath the person's dread sorrow and pain. Those who live without a mask are the truest of people not shackled by fronts and trickery, Arthur says under his breath.
Alright for the first round we have Alice up in coming rookie Hunter versus Arthur the demon with Excalibur, the Announcer yells.
Yeah this is the kind of fight you all have been waiting for, the Announcer says hyping the stands.
Arthur walks into the arena and just stands there.
Alice charges at him and Arthur makes no effort to defend himself taking a stab directly to one of his hearts.
Arthur coughs up blood but doesn’t move at all.
Alice slashes at Arthur’s body without Arthur even attempting to Counter.
Alice headbutts Arthur causing Arthur to fall over.
She stabs another one of his hearts and Alice begins to yell.
Why aren’t you fighting back, Alice yells at Arthur.
I only have one more heart, Arthur thinks, beginning to smile beneath his mask.
Alice gets up and yell, I give up there is no point in fighting someone that has no intention of fighting back, Alice says, kicking Arthur lying on the ground.
It seems that Alice is upset with me, Arthur says to himself getting up.
Isamu enters into the arena and kicks him in the face knocking the mask off of Arthur’s face, unveiling his face crying and pitiful.
Arthur grabs his mask and begins to put it back on, Arthur walks back outside of the arena and walks to an inn and begins to drink alcohol like water.
Alright with that disappointment of a match it is time for round 3 as BlackMane resigned after having his mana sealed.
So it is Elaine versus Isamu, I can only hope that this round will prove more entertaining than the first one, the Announcer says.
Isamu’s wings appear and He starts by creating a large garden of roses, which restrain Elaine.
What is this, Elaine says trying to escape but as she moves it the rose's thorns cut her and she begins to pass out.
Isamu out of frustration launches thorns making holes in Elaine's body. She begins to cough up blood and scream. Isamu snaps out of it and make the plants disappear.
Elaine passes out falling onto the ground. That is the round, Isamu wins without any problems, the announcer says.
Alright that only leaves round four meaning that Knox and Maline shall face off, the announcer yells.
Knox and Maline both start off using mana reinforcement. They clash and Knox begins to launch Fireballs at Maline.
Maline counters with a large group of reinforced leaves that begin to burn. Damn this match is not in my favor, Maline thinks running.
I don’t want to hurt this girl but I am not going to lose this round, Knox thinks.
I give up, Maline yells realizing her lack of experience.
Alright then today was just a boring day, the Announcer says.
Arthur begins walking home while stumbling. He opens the door and sees Alice laying her head on top of Tadano’s shoulder.
Arthur goes to take a bath and begins to pass out. Arthur began to look around and see the field, the large tree and the fog that surrounded it.
Arthur walks towards the tree and looks at the woman, her face pale and hair black as charcoal. Her smile cold and emotionless.
Who are you, Arthur asks. Well I am a spirit that manages your mental state, the woman says.
What are you talking about, Arthur says confused.
It doesn't matter I am here to tell you that your ideology is idiotic, the woman says.
Arthur wakes up to the sound of Himiko yelling Arthur’s name outside of the bathroom.
I am sorry for taking up the bath, Arthur says quickly getting dressed and leaving the restroom.
Arthur sits on his futon and begins to think about everything that had happened to him in the time that he had been alive.
I am so tired I want to die, Arthur says, beginning to cough up large amounts of blood, he starts to bleed on to the floor and he looks at his sword and falls over.
Himiko gets out of the bath, 10 mins later and sees Arthur laying on the floor bleeding out. Himiko runs to get Tadano.
Tadano gets up and puts Alice's head on the sofa’s cushion. You are the only person I can get right now, I figure since you are a third year in medicine, you would know a little about what is happening to Arthur. He is bleeding out, Himiko says worriedly.
I am sorry but his injuries are far too severe, Tadano says.
Excalibur begins to pulsate and release a large amount of mana. Suddenly the sword begins to talk to Tadano.
Bring me to my master Wolf boy, the sword says to Tadano.
What do you mean bring you to your master, Tadano asks.
If you want Arthur to live through this night you will put me with my master Arthur, the sword yells at him. Tadano puts Excalibur next to Wilbur and the Sword begins to heal Arthur’s injuries.
Arthur’s breathing begins to calm and he falls asleep.
Alright then, Tadano says getting up and going to his room.
He can sleep in late since the next round isn’t till two days from now, Tadano says, thinking seriously.
Leon’s Location
Hey, Leon wake up, Yui says, slapping Leon.
What where am I, Leon says sitting up.
You are in my makeshift home, Yui says Leon looks around and sees stacks of hay and sees a large stack of hides.
Thank you, Yui, Leon says standing up.
We have to get stronger, don’t you think Leon, Yui says.
Yeah you are right, Leon says as he begins to hear a voice.
Leon begins to yell. Leon picks up his shirt to reveal a large mark similar to a fox but with 9tails. The tails begin to fade as the pain continues.
It stops at one mark. Leon yells at Yui to run.
Yui runs outside, and begins to get attacked by an out of control Leon.
A man appears from the wood and causes Leon to fall to the ground.
What is this, Leon’s madness says.
Hmm you must be the demon from all those years ago, the man says.
I am Masayoshi, the last Elder Elf, the man says furiously.
Hmm ohh so you are part of the clan that I wiped out fifty thousand years ago man you sure can hold a grudge, well if this grudge is so important to you I guess I should tell you my name, as I am the side of Leon you want to kill so badly, Leon’s madness says.
I am Leon’s Form of Catastrophe, Leon says.
What does that matter, Masayoshi says. Hmm alright then, Leon says overpowering Masayoshi’s magic.
Hmm that was impressive, definitely the peak of race, Form of Catastrophe Leon says.
What was that, Masayoshi says charging at Leon. Masayoshi begins to focus his mana and starts to put more force down on Leon.
Inferno of Revenge Masayoshi says summoning a Fire blast that catches Leon in the center of it. Hmm this is honestly pathetic for something I felt so much mana focused, it had such a weak effect, Leon says.
Hmm that kid with the white hair had a magic that was really impressive and during his fight with that Calamity fellow that was truly something mind blowing honestly for someone so young he makes you look like an immature brat, Leon says laughing.
Blazing soul, Masayoshi yells making his body take on the form of fire.
Hmm now that is something new, Leon says looking at Masayoshi changing.
Hmm and someone with an immortal soul like you, must have a truly strong attack, Leon says, still having not moved from the indented spot.
So you are making a game of this, Masayoshi yells striking Leon in the face launching him 30 feet.
Hmm that actually kinda stung, Leon says smiling and wiping the blood from his face.
Yui grabs onto Leon’s waist and begins to clutch it tightly.
Get off of me wolf girl, Leon says.
I refuse, Yui says desperately. Leon falls to the ground and begins to grab on to his head. What is happening, Leon yells.
Masayoshi falls over and passes out from exhaustion. Leon passes out soon after.
Tsuki’s Location
