Tank type Saviors, wasn't that a term used in games, i couldn't help but wonder whether were they similar in more than just the name .
He seeing my bewilderment sighed tiredly and said that he will tell me about later, the topic of the conversation suddenly turned to be about me .
He asked me why i came for the school today and shouldn't i be recuperating at home, the principal gave you an excuse of being absence herself and that she reported it to him first thing in the morning, i was surprised that it was actually the work of the principal .
I told him that i had no idea about this and i was now completely fine after taking a long rest yesterday, i also told him about how i came to find about that i was supposedly be absent from school today .
He hearing my story couldn't help but clutching his stomach from laughter, the tense atmosphere was completely swept away, i beginning to feel some discomfort tried to change the subject, by asking why did he approach me just now .
He said that he was actually going to check on me and congratulate me on passing the assessment and officially becoming a member of the Strikers .
He also mentioned that it was quite surprising to find that i was feeling good, i thought he was cursing me to have bad health or something, but he explained what he meant was, normally exhausting your Mana lead to several days of absence from school before being able to regain all the Mana spent, so that took him by surprise .
But other than saying that i was full of surprises with a knowing smile on his face, that had me be the one bewildered, was there really the need to spend so much time to regain the Mana spent, i slept for almost half a day and my body felt refreshed all over .
He explained that every person ability to regain Mana and the method used were different, he suddenly surprised me with asking a question about what did i feel when i woke up in the infirmary .
I was unable to comprehend what he was exactly asking his question was asking about my state after i woke up, but something was telling me that he wasn't actually asking about this .
He said that the Vice Captain was the person that took me to the infirmary, she was a good woman, but have uncanny interests .
I was suddenly remembering the feeling of being violated from the day before and was confused with what exactly happened yesterday while i was unconscious even more, he seeing me like this was all that he needed to be able to tell that something indeed happened .
He put a hand on my shoulder as if comforting me, i really hoped that he won't do such a thing, i felt more pity from his gesture than comfort .
After coughing out the embarrassment that i was having, i once again confirmed that i was currently fine and that there were no problem with me other than feeling a bit of discomfort .
Only then did the Captain suggest that we head to the Training Arena, he will let me see and witness what was he meant by Tank Type Savior .
I wanted to go and get the teacher permission, but he joked about the fact that it shouldn't really matter since i should have been absent for today, anyway .
I thought that his words made sense, but i still send Shizuno a massage in it i told her to tell the teacher that i got called to the Training Arena .
The reply to the massage appeared instantly and i was surprised to read its content, she said in the massage :
So you have officially joined the Strikers, congratulations .
I couldn't help but beginning to wonder about the Urushibara family behind that girl, i was also wondering about how was she so informative about the School, Ancient Dragon, Saviors, all these sort of things .
I might ask her about it later, we haven't known each other for more than a day, but i felt that our relationship was becoming more and more closer, i texted her saying " Thanks ", then began to walk towards the exit of the school building together with the Captain .
As i reached to the arena, the captain went ahead of me and joined the others, i couldn't help but wonder why the Kuroma have battle suit, but the Shiroganes have training suits that by using Prana can turn into battle suit, were Prana really that much capable than Mana .
I went to the locker room and i changed my clothes, then began to head to the training grounds through the tunnel, as i appeard in the training grounds, i saw that the Captain was standing in front of the lined up Saviors in front of me, noticing me appearing all eyes were swept towards me .
The captain motioned for me to enter the line, i saw a vacant spot in the edge of the line and decided to stand there, adhering to the wishes of a certain playful blonde girl that kept waving her hands at me and asking me to come over .
I went there seeing that the spot was vacant, but as i kept walking towards my spot, i noted that neither Kamekichi-senpai nor Momochi-senpai were her, the first one reason for being absent wasn't that difficult to conclude from the words told to me by the captain, i can guess that he was absence due to needing more time to recovery .
But the latter absence was what caught me by surprise, the reason for his absence when the captain asked was due to health problem and the the one who gave the answer was none other than the playful blonde haired girl that i was now standing beside her, now i got a chance to stand next to her i was able to see that she was a quite tall girl .
I was going to stay silent at that, but then i felt someone leaning into my ears and saying :
The real reason behind Momochhi being absent is you, Ryuu .
I felt so perplexed by her saying this that i involuntarily turned around to look at her, due to the sudden turn of my head and her leaning towards my ears, i ended up getting a smooch on my cheek, the sound of that action was so loud that all the people people present suddenly turned their heads in our direction to see what was going on .
The reaction of the people looking at me differed greatly, the girls covered their mouths and began to have a blush on their faces, the boys on the other hand was looking at me with a spitting fire like eyes, i found the phrase if eyes can kill appeared in my mind, i found that it was quite suitable to describe most of the male Saviors eyes .
They looked at me as if they wanted to shred me to pieces, i the one who got kissed was embarrassed, but i was still more focusing on the words that she just said, also seeing her clueless reaction told me that she didn't feel that an accident like this was that big of a deal, so i followed her suit and acted nonchalant about it as well, we acting like this didn't put a stop to awkward atmosphere in the room .
If anything it may have even increased, i felt that the guys gaze on me became so intense that i began to feel heat radiating towards me without even looking at them directly, but all that came to a sudden stop, when intentionally or unintentionally i felt a faint killing intent aimed at me from the crowd in front .
It triggered the appearance of my own killing intent, even though i was beginning to get the hang of how to control it, this time as if it was challenged, i wasn't able to muster enough control to keep it in check, time suddenly came to a sudden stop as always .
More than a dozen clones similar to me, all of them were wielding the exact same black katana, they moved as if under the command of someone and stood behind the male Saviors and in an orderly manner they put the sword in their hands close to the necks of all of the guys that were glaring at me and began to cut, luckily i was able to regain control of my killing intent barley before they chop all the heads of those guys off .
The time continued to flow once again, but all the ruckus that the boys were making ceased to exist, they dropped on the floor one by one, their eyes were empty and their bodies and foreheads were all covered with sweat as their collapse came to be a bit sudden, it alarmed the captain as he hurriedly appeared in front of all these guys and asked the blonde haired girl beside me that her name was Sophia to use Saturn to wake them in a hurry .
The girl for some reason looked at me with stars in her eyes and hurried into action turning on her Prana and flicked all the guys that were having a shock foreheads, i didn't know what was she exactly doing but i was able to guess that with use of a Light Art named Saturn she was able to deviate the shock that those guys were having, awaking them from their trance .
As she did finish doing all that she once again appeared beside me and looked at me with an impressed face, but if anything i was the one that was impressed with what she just did .
But a sudden outburst of a deep killing intent this time forced me to divert my full attention to it, not waiting for my killing intent to be triggered again, i infused Mana in my fingers and instantly used Paradox, i then pulled my ID Tag out of my chest and infused Mana into it as well summoning my Dark Katana and directly appeard in front of the guy that was releasing a killing intent towards me .
In less than a friction of a second, i was in front of him and held the tip of the sword to his face .
The other guys were still unclear about what was exactly going on, when suddenly i appeard in their vision keeping one of their held at swordpoint, that seemed to stimulate all of them out of their trance, they tried to move, but their bodies weren't responding neither were they able to turn on their Prana nor Mana, so all they can do was shouting and cursing .
Seeing them like this i paid them no mind and instead focused on the guy that was the instigator of all that just happened, before i wasn't able to relocate him probably, due to the fact that he was hiding among the others, but now it was clear to me as the day .
I saw that the guy sitting on the ground in front of me can be described as a gentle young man with a baby face that from the angry looks i was now feeling at the back of my head like hornet stingers from the female Saviors direction that those features of his made him quite popular among the girls here, he was currently raising his head and staring at me and the sword in hand with wide eyes, his killing intent dissipated as if it never existed, so at least that was a relief .
But i had never seen that guy before so why was he all of a sudden releasing a killing intent at me, i was about to ask, but i suddenly felt as if a huge pressure was about to descend over me, so i moved my initial place and once again all the people around me were unable to move an inch, i saw the culprit behind the feeling i just got was none other than the Captain, so i deactivated Paradox .
And as if already expected where will i go next, he appeared in front of me and fixed me in place with his hands on my shoulder, then with an ugly smile that was more of a frown than a smile, he said :
We don't aim our killing intent against our allies, otherwise what will be the use of calling ourselves a team, get back in the line and all of you as well .
Without even giving me time to reply he gave the order for us to regroup and walked away from me, his tone of voice carried an undisputed authority that forced all the people who heard it to comply with his orders, seconds later we were regrouped in line as before .
My words aren't for Ryuu only, they are to all of you, no matter the cause we will solve it as a team, but if for every conflict that may arise between us, we release our killing intent then how could we call ourselves a unit, isn't that right Takenaka ? .
A guy took a step forward from the line and i saw that it was the same childish looking guy that i held at the swordpoint before, the name on his ID Tag was Hanta Takenaka, after he took that step, Takenaka said in somewhat an apologizing tone :
I was the one at wrong here, Captain and for that i apologize .
He then bowed in the captain direction and in my direction then returned back to the line, something was telling me that he still hadn't learned his lesson, but i believe that he will think twice before crossing paths with me from now on, the Captain nodded his head and then looked at me, i first didn't understand the gesture, but a sudden push on my back forced me to under the attention due to standing out of the line, i didn't even need to look back to know he did this .
It was none other than the foreign blonde haired girl Sophia, i finally understood what was they trying to make me do, but if they wanted me to apologize for reacting to the killing intent released at me then they were wrong to think though .
I didn't bow my head, but i did still apologized for the other guys who get caught on my actions, but i didn't even spared that guy even a glance and once again returned to my place in the line .
I heard a few gasps sounds coming from the girls around me, but even before any of them say a word in protest, the Captain asked a question that put a stop to the quarrel that was about to start, he said :
Where is Vice Captain Kanzaki ? .
The one he responded was loud voice in the distance saying :
Here, i was in the bathroom dealing with some business, i'm sorry for arriving late, please punish me for .... .
She suddenly stopped talking as she got more and more closer, then she appeard in front of me and in a stuttering manner she said :
King... King Lucius .
