'BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP, SMASH!!!'
Shin lifted his head from the pillow, holding a broken alarm in his left hand. He sighs,
`Another alarm I broke this week...` Shin tossed the alarm in the trash. There was another broken alarm in the trash can. The new power that Shin possessed was so potent, that he had trouble controlling it. Yesterday, he broke more than 5 plates with just a single tap. Shin got up and put on his school uniform, sighing.
`Master, are you alright?`
"Huh?" Shin looked at the dragon tattoo on his right arm.
"Yeah, I'm fine Ronin," Shin said as he continued to wear his uniform.
`Master, a question.`
"Hmm?"
`Why didn't you summon we during the fight with...what's his name, Apex.`
"Oh well considering your size, you would've destroyed the tower."
`But if you did summon me, wouldn't that have prevented your death? Also, why was Cerberus summoned instead of me...`
Shin remembered how he mercilessly stabbed by the reptilian who called himself Apex.
"Please don't mention that name in my presence. The only good thing that happened was..."
Shin opened his spatial storage and pulled out a heavy double-edged blade. Its guard had smiling skulls on each side and had talons at the end of its crossguard.
"This thing has a name right?"
`Why don't you use your Osiris for that?`
"Information on the sword please," Shin spoke into his Osiris.
The Osiris spoke,
"Cardinal, the sword of darkness. This sword chooses whether it's wielder is worthy or not. If not, they will be swallowed alive by the dark energy. But if they are, then it will give its energy to the wielder. This is not the true form of the sword. "
"Not the true form? Hmm, interesting." Shin returns the sword to his spatial storage.
`So, about my question.`
"Huh? Didn't I answer it?"
`Well part of it, still haven't explained to me why Cerberus was summoned by its master when it was almost the same size as me.`
"Well, the Cerberus is bigger by width, not height. The height of each tower was too short to summon you."
`Hmm, I see. Sorry to bother you, master.`
"It's alright Ronin, I didn't forget about you."
`No, I kind of did forget that I had Ronin as my familiar.` Shin almost forgot that he had a powerful dragon as his familiar.
Shin walked up to the mirror and fixed his bed hair. He stares at his blue eyes. They were formerly brown before his revival. Shin grabs his bag and puts it over his shoulder.
"Welp time to go..."
Shin opens his room door and waiting in front of him was Rika.
"Hey Shin!" She said as she walked up to Shin, kissing his cheek.
Shin suddenly blushed beet red, Rika smiled and walked to the elevator,
"See you at school." Rika walks away.
Shin scratches his head and sighs.
`This just keeps happening.`
3 minutes later...
Shin walks out of the lobby and into the street. He stretches and looks towards the school.
"Welp time to go." Shin would dash and in about 2 seconds, he arrives at the school, but due to his lack of control over his power, he slips.
"Whoa whoa whoa!" He crashes into another player.
Shin gets up and starts apologizes.
"Sorry...huh?"
The person he crashed into was Lana. Lana blushed and held her cheeks.
"I didn't know you were this bold, Shin." Alexandro smiled, standing next to them. He drank some tea.
Everyone around them started taking pictures with their Osiris. Shin's face was slowly turning red in embarrassment.
"Ahem."
Shin looked at Lana whos face was bright red.
"Umm, maybe we can do this privately?"
Shin immediately got up and started apologizing.
"Sorry, sorry, and uhh...goodbye!" Shin enters the school gate and runs past Sakura.
"Hmm?"
"The kid's pretty funny," Alexandro said as he sipped on his tea.
"Don't tease him," Sakura said as she looked at the ranking board. Alexandro glanced at Sakura, she had a light smile on her face. Alexandro rubbed his chin thinking,
`Don't tell me...she likes the kid?` Alexandro smirked, his eyes glowing.
"Heh heh heh." Sakura looked back at Alexandro, Alexandro whistles, and walks into the school. Sakura narrowed her eyes at Alexandro.
`He's planning something.`
Time: 11:30
Shin let out a sigh.
"This week couldn't get any worse."
Shin looked over to the other side of the classroom, almost all the boys in his class gave him the death stare, gritting their teeth.
"It's pretty obvious why they are giving you that stare," Alexandro said as he was sitting next to him.
"You do have the attention of 1 of the most beautiful girls in the school," Alexandro said as he turned towards Rika, who was sitting directly behind Shin.
"Yeah, I know. By the way, why are you here?"
"Oh me? Well, this is my class after all."
"It is?"
"Yeah, I chose to stay in this class because why not? The elites can choose to stay in their former classes or not."
"Ahh, I see."
"And also, not all the glares are directed at you."
"Huh, what do you..."Shin looked over his shoulder, most of the girls in the class were glancing at Alexandro. Some of the guys that were glaring at Shin were also glaring at Alexandro.
"Pff, why did he have to stay in this class?" Someone directed at Alexandro,
"That guy's not even good looking!" Another directed at Shin,
"They are both womanizers!!!" Someone directed at both of them,
Shin facepalmed and sighed, Alexandro chuckled lightly,
"It's ok Shin, just ignore them. But just maybe..."
Alexandro's left hand would envelop in bright yellow magic and he pulls Shin towards him. Shin scratched his head. Alexandro would then sweep Shin's hair back. All the attention that Alexandro had would suddenly be directed towards Shin. The girls would start talking about Shin.
"Oh my god, he suddenly looks even more handsome than Alexandro!"
"I never noticed but his eyes bring out his attractiveness."
All the boys would gulp,
"Maybe he isn't that bad?"
"I kinda wanna be his friend now."
Alexandro chuckled and Shin sat back in his seat, returning his hair to its normal state.
"Now I feel kinda jealous, but I can't complain." Alexandro sipped on some tea.
Rika would get up from her seat and sit on Shin's table. Shin looked up at Rika, gulping.
`What now?`
Rika had a friendly smile on her face, she then turns her head and starts glaring. She was glaring at Lana, electric sparks would appear between them.
Trickles of sweat would flow down from Shin's neck. He turned towards Alexandro. Alexandro gave him a thumbs up. Shin sighed, shaking his head.
'WARNING, WARNING!' Message windows start to appear in front of everyone.
"Huh? What's this?" Shin questioned.
"Well, 1 is going to appear eventually." Alexandro got up his chair and walked out. Shin followed him.
"What appeared?"
"A portal. You see, after the phenomenon that happened 1000 years ago, random portals started to appear. If we don't take care of it, then the monsters on the other side will pour out and attack us. So it's our job to take care of them, there is a reason why we have these powers."
Alexandro and Shin arrived at the school entrance. Hovering in front of them was a crimson red portal. Shin sensed a huge amount of energy pouring out from the portal.
"Well, it looks like a B-rank portal. I should call the others, they can set up a group to raid this." Alexandro walked off, then he looked back. Shin stared at the portal. Alexandro rubbed his chin, then he smirked.
"Say, Shin."
Shin looked back at Alexandro,
"Yeah?"
Sakura and Blake walk out of the school entrance, they listened in on the conversation.
"How about I let you deal with this one? I'll consider making you a B-rank if you beat it."
"Hmm..."
Sakura ran up to Alexandro and grabbed him by the collar.
"Are you crazy?! He's not even a B-rank and you're just gonna let him take care of this, by himself?!"
"Whoa whoa whoa, who said anything about taking care of this by himself? I'm was just saying if he's interested."
"That's not what I heard!"
"I'll do it."
Sakura and Alexandro turned towards Shin.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I'll be glad to take care of the portal. Myself."
Alexandro formed a grin while a concerned face appeared on Sakura. Blake shook his head and walked back inside the building. Damien stood there watching,
"So what's happening?"
"Well Mister Damien, that kid of yours is going to raid that portal himself. You should be stopping him, I mean you are his guardian after all." Blake informed Damien.
Damien scratched his head thinking. Blake rolled his eyes under his hood and shook his head,
"Mister Damien, the kid doesn't even know how to control his powers yet and you're just gonna let him go into a B-rank portal?"
Damien looks at Blake, Damien's crimson red eyes met with Blake's demonic red eyes.
"Take that hood off."
Blake gritted his teeth as he slowly became irritated.
"You need to believe in the kid. After all, you were just like him." Damien said as he walked off.
Blake takes off his hood, revealing his black hair which is swept back. He turns his attention towards Shin.
`Let's see him try.`
30 minutes later...
With the permission of the elite ten and the school, Shin was allowed to take care of the portal by himself.
"Alright, I'm ready." Shin had equipped his combat outfit, he was standing in front of the red portal.
"Good luck Shin, don't get yourself killed. " Alexandro said as he waved him off.
Shin entered the portal. Alexandro nodded his head and turned around, facing Sakura.
"You got the drones?"
"Of course I do."
Sakura held a suitcase which she placed on the floor. From the suitcase, 4 tiny drones would fly out and follow Shin into the portal. The suitcase would project a huge hologram which broadcasted what the 4 drones were seeing.
***
Shin sighs,
"How much worse can this get..."
Shin looked at the snow-covered landscape. Shin turned around and a black tower stood in front of him. It was much taller than the last one that he entered. Shin sighs, rubbing his head.
"I wouldn't have minded if it was the desert again. Oh well, it'll be warmer inside the tower. And I'll get to test this new sword." Shin brought out Cardinal from his spatial storage. He put the blade across his shoulder. Shin approaches the tower confidently.
As Shin approaches the gate, he recalls his memories of his first raid. Shin shakes his head and he returned his attention to the gate.
'CREAK! SNAP!'
Multiple sounds were heard as the gate slowly opened.
'WHOOSH!'
A huge gust of freezing wind exited the tower.
Shin stared inside the dark interior of the tower. He gulped down some saliva.
"Welp here goes nothing."
Shin enters the tower, the gate shutting behind him.
'CLANG'
