Just as i arrived at the training arena, i heard echoes of cheering everywhere, it seemed that a lot of people were interested in witnessing this fight, but wasn't this battle a secret to began with, now it seems that the whole school knew about it .
As i reached the stage where the audience sat, all i heard was the word INCINERATE, then it was accompanied by the scream of agony from the little brother of the captain as he was engulfed in crimson flames that seemed to devour his Flesh, the fight then came to a halt as a medical team suddenly entered the arena to hurry and get the badly injured almost dead Isuragi Jin out of the arena, the scene disturbed most of the people present, some even began to throw up, but the cheering never stopped .
Luckily the fight took place in the training arena, otherwise that guy might have died for real, i once again was reminded of how powerful everyone present in this school was and how much of a threat they hold against normal people, my anger from before had calmed down a lot since yesterday, all i hope now was that he would at least learn a lesson from this and get back on the right track, at least for his brother's sake, Moroha was then being declared as the winner .
I saw that Satsuki jumped from her seat into the training arena grounds and throw herself at him, saying that she never doubted him while crying, he had a stiff smile on his face, that was soon swept away as Shizuno began to approach them, he was saying something that i wasn't able to hear, due to being so far from the stage, he then collapsed on the floor in a familiar manner, at least to me, then another medical team came and moved him to the infirmary .
I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of him going through what i went through in the past two days, i seeing that there was no much to see, sighed with an upset expression on my face, completely dissatisfied about the fact that i wasn't able to witness the fight .
I had even arrived early to school today for that sole reason and here i was, late, again .
I entered the tunnel to go out of the Training Arena building heading for my class, but i ran into an annoyed and very much troubled Captain, Isuragi Jin, i thought he was disappointed at his brother getting defeated, but that wasn't the cause, it was the first time i saw the Captain curse, i hadn't known him for too long, but i was able to determine that he wasn't one to curse .
What was even stranger is the fact that the one he was cursing was none other than his little brother, seeing him exasperated like that, allowed me to determine that it was best if i didn't go to him, too bad since he seemed to have noticed me and was walking my way .
You were right about Moroha being the one to win, but never would i have imagined him winning using a dark art after he used Prana to dominate the battle at first, so you was already aware of him being an Ancient Dragon like yourself .
So that what happened, he already know about Ancient Dragon matter, but Haimura Moroha being one was what took him by surprise and he also still believe that i was an ancient dragon as well, i said trying to clear this misunderstanding to not be impacted by what that title brought with it .
" I didn't know about him being an Ancient Dragon until yesterday, but didn't gave this much a thought, but you seem to misunderstood something captain, him being an Ancient Dragon, doesn't mean that i was too .
He kept nodding at my words first, but then his face began to have a weird expression on it as he said :
What do you mean by that, aren't you able to use both Dark Arts and Light Arts, what are you if you aren't an Ancient Dragon .
So that where the argument of me being an Ancient Dragon, as i expected, he completely build a wrong conclusion based on the fact that i was able to use the two different arts, but what with the wrong expression on his face, it was not one of anger or bewilderment as before, it was uncertainty, or so i believe .
" Well, i'm really not a person who reincarnated twice, i only had one past life, i lived my life as a Kuroma, the reason to why i'm able to use Prana was due to it being a gift or a blessing of some sort that was given to me, that all what this was about, that guy being one that was probably very true, but i being one that was completely a misunderstanding .
As i finished saying all this, i saw that he was beginning to massage his head as if he was having a headache, the troubled face he now had was much more intense than before, he was conflicated about something, that was apperant to me, seeing him struggling to form words to say, so i couldn't help but be the one to snap him out of it, i asked what wasn going on with him and he said :
Too late .
" What too late, are you meeting someone .
I saw his hand swing at me as if wanting to hit me on the head, but i was able to evade it with quite ease, i asked him what he did that for and he sighed deeply and said :
Too late for you to back off now, i had already informed my superiors at the order of your existence and my suspicion of you being an Ancient Dragon .
The moment he said those words, i involuntarily stared at him deeply, wondering why would he do such a stupid thing, when he was only suspicious, seeing my reaction, he continued to say :
You might not comprehending how much will a piece of information like this will help our branch in the Order .
" You are right, i don't, but don't you think you acted upon your own whims, without giving much thought to what i feel or think about this matter, you haven't even waited to confirm whether i was the real deal or not .
Oh, I'm sorry for not putting your opinion into consideration, but i just had to act quickly before any of the other branches get a sniff about this .
" Senior, forgive me for being blunt, but are you sane in the mind, i'm telling you that i'm not a damned Ancient Dragon, i don't know much about what that even meant, but i do understand one thing, sooner or later people from other branches will be able to get a sniff about this and then they might do anything they can so that they reach me, i don't know if you remember what my family situation is like, but you doing this without even consulting me might put those who are close to me in danger and what is worse, that reason was completely untrue .
I said this and without waiting for him to say anything, i stormed out of the place, heading towards the principal office, wanting to do nothing currently but to drop out of school and go stay close to my mother, due to a misunderstanding he took a step he shouldn't, ending up endangering my already fractured family situation to completely crumble .
As i reached the office, i knocked on the door, but no one was inside, i kept knocking for a period of time, but no one still answered, my phone suddenly buzzed, i looked at it and saw that it was a message from Evelyn asking me about where to meet, i first paid her no mind, but then thought that she might know where the principal were, so i messaged her back asking if she knew where the principal were, a few seconds later, i received a massage filled with questions mark, but at the end of it, she told me that she saw her in the corridor just now .
My other phone suddenly rang, the one i got from the guy who was supposedly my dad, my heart suddenly fell, i hurriedly answered the phone and the same gruff voice came from the other side, saying :
You did incredibly well, take on all that came your way without having any burden, your mother will be always secured, but that was only under the premise that you continued to stay in the school, we will be meeting each other soon, Ancient Dragon .
Without even giving me a chance to process what was he saying or what he was telling me, he as usual hanged up the phone, i took a few seconds to finally comprehend that he got informed about what happened, he seemed to be rejoicing it even .
But at least that call ended up in reliving me, even if it was only for a little, but my plan hadn't changed, that guy was untrustworthy and i won't be leaving my mother's fate in his care, even if he were to be the last man on earth, i hurriedly headed for the corridor .
But it was either i was too late, or i was being baited to go there, all i saw was a blue haired waiting for me there looking quite aggravated and seeming to be sulking, i know why was acting like such, but i really can't spare enough time to say anything to her, just as i was about to use Paradox to slip out of her unnoticed, i was suddenly called by the person i wanted to find the most now .
Why are you turning on your Mana, Ryuu-kun, was there a problem ? .
I turned and saw that the principal was indeed behind me, she seemed to have come from the way leading to the infirmary, i can tell due to the fact that i was very familiar with that road, since i have been crossing it quite frequently those past two days .
I turned of my Mana and due to the corridor being empty, Tokiko was able to hear her calling me, she like an eagle spotted me even though there were some distance between us two, i misunderstood her intention before and felt even more ashamed of seeing her happy expression, after she saw me .
Before she catch up to where we were, i asked the principal about if she knew what the captain did and before i finish my inquiry, she winked at me and hushed me, then all of a sudden my phone rang once again i hurried to take on the call, he was calling me again, my heart tightened instinctively, thinking that something bad must have happened, on the other side of the call came the angry voice of my father Motohama Midori, saying :
What did you do, where is she ? .
The moment i heard his tone and comprehended what he was asking, i almost clinched my hands, crushing the phone in hand, but luckily i was able to evade doing so, but my grave expression and flaring killing intent, were thing i was unable to conceal .
My killing intent was so strong that it began to have a visual effect on the surrounding and probably the entire school, scream were beginning to sound from the hallways of all building as the whole area seemed as if it had fall into someone prank and was now dyed in red, deep red that seemed to want to reach the sky, but this scene disappeared as if it was an illusion the next second and the reason for this happening was me suddenly being embraced from the front and behind by the two girls present, that for some reason calmed me down .
Enough to at least answer the phone, but before i answer the guy still on the phone, i saw the principal leaning into my ears as she said in a whisper :
Don't worry, everything is okay and your mom is okay as well .
I felt as if someone had gave me an electric chock, i not even for a second thought that the principal said this with any malicious intent, recalling the wink she gave me before, i was able to determined that at least my mom was indeed okay, i hanged up the phone on the guy who was still cursing and asked if they can let me go now .
The one hugging me from front complied in a hurried manner, looking like a frightened rabbit as she broke the hug, but the other one hugging me from the back didn't, i tried to nudge her to let go, but was unmoving, just because i was feeling a guilty towards her, i let her be and stared at the woman whose face was red like a tomatoe, but currently didn't care in the slightest about that, i asked what she meant by that, weird enough even the sharpness in my voice seemed to have receded .
Well, we don't normally do this at Akane Academy, but this was somewhat a special situation, so we dealt with using a special solution, we have relocated your mom to the town near, i even made the trip to get her myself and explained most of what was going on here and pretty much told her everything about what you were doing in here, before she can finally agree to move out, i don't have to tell you this, but your mother is really quite the stubborn woman .
The moment she finished saying this, i was so happy about hearing this that i almost hugged her, but i suddenly felt someone biting my shoulder, forcing me to stop what i was about to do, i weirdly noted that the principal didn't seem much bothered by the fact that i almost hugged her, in fact i felt that was a bit disappointed that i didn't .
The one who was responsible for that bite just now, was none other than Tokiko, i rolled my eyes at her, wondering what to do with that crazy girl, but all she had in response to me was a " hmph " she even gave me a "you completely deserve it kinda look " .
I hadn't even known that she existed until yesterday, but i'm already having a strong headache dealing with her, what will happen after we marry .
Huh, marry, what a strange thought, let's postpone taking about marrying, trying to coexist was my current priority .
The principal witnessing the scene in front of her, chuckled a bit at our interaction, but then she continued to say :
Just to answer your initial question, it was the suggestion of Captain Isuragi that made all this possible, he already knowing your tight family situation, advised that i do this after he came to tell me of what he did .
