After the intense battle with the demon Abaddos, the day of crest choosing finally arrived. All the students who passed their exams went to a shrine built by humans and gods to obtain their crests.

It was a special day for the members, students, and staff of the world Magical School, and they were all present to witness the auspicious event One by one, the students went inside the shrine to obtain their crest. The scene of the shrine was video graphed to show their crest to the outside world.

Daichi was the first one to enter the shrine. He bowed to the god and closed his eyes. Suddenly, the calm breeze turned into a fierce hurricane, and the surrounding environment objects were thrown into the sky because of the power. Then, the wind god Fujin appeared in front of Daichi and said,

"I am Mukyūtaikūshin Fūjin, and I choose you as my host." Daichi happily replied, "It would be my pleasure." After that, Fujin entered Daichi's body, forming a crest on his hand.

When Daichi came out of the shrine, all the members cheered for him and clapped because he got Fujin, one of the rarer gods. The student council also praised him. Reina patted him on the back and said, "You have done well, Daichi." Daichi bowed and left the place, smiling.

Next was Aiko's turn. She entered the shrine, bowed, and closed her eyes. In front of her appeared Hero Anga-Raja Karna, renowned as one of the best skilled archers in history. Karn said,

"Ms. Aiko, I choose you as my host. You seem to have a speciality in bow. So, I would be happy if you accept me." Aiko was surprised and impressed and accepted the proposal. Then, Anga-Raja Karn entered Aiko's body, forming a crest on her hand.

Everyone clapped at Aiko as she obtained the power of Karn, and the student council congratulated her.

It was now Mai's turn. She performed the same rituals and closed her eyes. The environment turned dark, and the crackle of the cloud and thunderbolts appeared all over the place.

In front of her appeared Deity Susanoo-No-amikoto. Susanoo said, "Mai, I choose you as my host." Then, Susanoo went into Mai, creating a crest on her hand. Even though the crest was on her hand, she could still see the environment clearly, but now more clearly where she could detect demons too.

Everyone was surprised at Mai as she obtained the power of Susanoo, a fierce god. The student council praised her, and Reina personally congratulated her. Kazuki Daichi and Aiko also congratulated her.

Finally, it was Kazuki's turn. Kazuki went inside the shrine and performed the rituals. The world started to shine, and new flowers and trees started to bloom, refreshing everyone's energy.

Suddenly, a holy light appeared from above, and everyone present outside was shocked to see it was Izanami-No-Mikoto.

Then she spoke. "Son Kazuki, I choose you as my host." Kazuki was surprised because he couldn't believe that she would pick him. "Goddess, may I ask you why you choose me?" The goddess smirked and replied, "Didn't you say you want to defeat all demons?

I just wanted to help you achieve your dreams." Kazuki thanked the goddess with a smile on his face. Then, Izanami entered his body, and Kazuki felt an enormous energy producing inside him. He felt like this when he was using the sword Nandaka.

She told Kazuki that his body was still not ready to control all her power, but they were not alone and had someone strong helping them too.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

Kazuki went outside, and everyone was staring at him. Suddenly, a loud clap erupted, overwhelming him.

Kazuki headed towards the student council place, where the student council congratulated him and invited him to join. Reina also personally congratulated him, and Mai asked Aiko about Izanami, one of the legendary goddesses of the world.

Aiko explained that the world had five legendary gods and goddesses, and Izanami was one of them. If she were with them, they would have a higher chance against the demons.

After the crest ceremony, the students all returned home, preparing for their school day in two days' time.

Mai was greeted by a shocking sight upon opening the door to her house: Izanagi was lying motionless on the floor. Panic surged through Mai as she asked him what happened.

"It's your father's food, it's killing me. I can't take it anymore," Izanagi replied weakly.

Izanagi crawled over to her, "I missed you," Hhe said.

Mai. My stomach hurts so much," Izanagi pleaded. "Please cook me something."

Mai agreed to make him something, promising to change out of her clothes first. After she finished preparing a delicious meal, Izanagi ate it quickly, as though he were starving.

Mai sat next to him and watched him eat, a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Izanagi," she said.

Izanagi pretended not to know what she was talking about.

"About what? I didn't do anything."

"Don't lie to me," Mai replied, still smiling.

"Anyway, thank you."

As Mai cleaned up the dishes, Izanagi ate the dessert she had bought for him. Suddenly, he stood up and walked over to Mai, staring at her intently.

Mai was confused and blushing. "What are you doing, Izanagi?"

"Susanoo, come out," he commanded.

A bolt of lightning struck, and Susanoo appeared. Mai lost consciousness.

"Susanoo, you were the one who chose Mai as your host?" Rudra asked.

"I chose her because I wanted to meet you, big bro," Susanoo replied.

"It's your choice, but don't let anyone hurt Mai. She is precious to me," Rudra said

Izanagi looking at Mai while simling.

Susanoo noticed something.

"Is it true that Big Bro has fallen in love?" Susanoo asked, surprised.

“Kind of. I think I have fallen in love”.

“Congratulations Big bro”

“If I remember correctly this is not the first time you fell in love”

“I believe that it was 100,000 years ago when the demons started to attack Earth Again”

"Back then, you fell in love with a human named Lyrisa. She was a beautiful girl who had a soothing voice, her voice healed the wounds of people with her music. You ought not to fall in love but flowers blossomed between you two. Your love story also started with her.

You frequently left heaven disguised as a human always used to meet her. Sadly, One day she was killed by the demon army. Even the mighty Big bro was not able to stop that.

Why? It was all because of the curse bestowed upon you by the demon king's mother, when you killed half of her sons during that war, making her grieve over them. She cursed you that when you find love, the person you love will die because of you.

Because Big bro will know how it will feel to lose someone you love. Later, Big bro found that Lyrisa was killed by the demon army when they attacked their village.

Big bro was performing some quests somewhere else during that period. When you found you that she had died, you were devastated.

After that, you neglected your duty, but now you look happy and living your life happily”

Tears dropped on the floor.

"Big bro, are you crying?" Susanoo asked.

"No, it's just someone is cutting onions near me," Izanagi replied, wiping his tears away.

"Big bro, we can't help it. What's done is done," Susanoo said.

Susanoo looks towards Mai.

"Brother Rudra, doesn't Mai look like Lyrisa? Is this why you're protecting her?" Susanoo asked.

"Who knows?" Rudra replied.

“This must be fate”,Susanoo replied.

“But this I will protect her with all my Life. Anyone interfering will die”,Izanagi with sheer determination.

"Oh looks like Our time is up. If I stay here, she might die," Susanoo said as he entered Mai's body.

Izanagi then carries Mai body to her room and looks at her smiling.

“Mai don’t give me too much trouble”

“I had to save you once again, What would I do if you weren’t present here”

Izanagi falls asleep near her.

When Mai woke up, she found Izanagi sleeping next to her. She smiled and kissed him on the forehead, causing him to smile in his sleep.

Meanwhile, in the demon realm, Abaddos was in pain as Asmodeus treated his wounds. Asura entered the room.

"Abaddos, how is your recovery coming along?" Asura asked.

"It's slow, but I'll be back to full strength soon," Abaddos replied.

"Good. We need all the strong soldiers we can get," Asmodeus said. "We have a lot to prepare for."

"What do you mean?" Abaddos asked.

"Asura and I have been discussing the future of the demon army. We need to be ready for anything," Asmodeus explained.

Ausura asked, “So how did it happened”.

Asmodeus recognized the sword that injured Abaddos as Nandaka, One of the most dangerous weapon that caused us demons to run back to shelter to our realm in hiding.

"Especially now that the sword Nandaka has reappeared muist mean he is here ," Asura added.

“How could we ever forget him, he nearly wiped the Whole demon realm”

“He was about to kill us too until we begged for mercy”

"We must be careful," Asura warned. "The demon lord is still training, and there is still much time until he obtains Ultimatum.

After that, we will make our move and rule."
