Kazuya woke up early as usual and went to the rooftop to practice his ability. But now, he was not alone. He's with Scarlett.
He decided to tell her at least a bit of his ability. More precisely, his teleporting ability. It was not just because he trust her and is comfortable to her but also because he may need a help when someone questions it.
Scarlett took her sword, she used the soften mode so that she won't hurt Kazuya. They are currently sparring now. She's confused as why Kazuya decided to spar on the dark where her ability is at its prime.
As long as there is no light her ability can creep to any shadows or darkness. She can either use it to entangled someone or to form spikes as attacks.
She then asked, "Are you sure about this?".
"Yeah. Aren't you too confident on defeating me?".
"Well, maybe in the day you might have the chance to defeat me, but its currently dark. Its like walking straight into a trap."
"I see, you're very confident. Okay, if I win you must give me a kiss. Oh- a passionate one!".
This made her blush, she just nodded. Well, its not like she would lose something precious. And also, she would like it.
Their relationship is already considered a relationship that is based on love and trust. Though they are both open with each others body, they still haven't crossed the line.
Even when they kissed it would be just pecks, the only passionate one they had is that time on their first date. They may had two more dates on the following days but there are no passionate kisses.
Kazuya then said, "What's your conditions?".
"Okay since I'm clearly at an advantage here, as long as you touch me once with your sword.".
If they fight head on with just swords she would have 0 chances of winning. But as long she has her ability, everything would be easy peasy.
He just nodded with a smirk. Well, his purpose is to show her his ability not to win a spar with flying remarks. So he would win in the most easiest yet sly way.
With a count of three the match started... and it ended.
The condition is to touch her with his sword, their distance might be as far as 8 meters but distance don't matter when it comes to his teleportation. His eyed glowed the same gold and red with gray hue on the edges of the kornea.
Scarlett didn't even had the opportunity to activate her ability. The moment the match started all she just saw is Kazuya changing his eye color then becoming a blur.
She then felt someone hugging her from the back and a sword on her slender chin. Shocked and confused, she muttered, "H-how?".
"My ability of course.".
"That f-fast?", she replied. She took his arm and faced him, his eyes glowed in amazement.
"Well, you know thay my ability can teleport me right?".
"Yes! I researched about your ability back then. No one, has ever done what you just did. I didn't even see you open a portal. How?".
Kazuya then started to tell her what he knew, partially.
"My abilty kinda upgraded. I don't really know how it happened, but it's now much better than usual. I can now teleport wherever I want without opening a portal. It would change my eye color though.".
Her eyes glowed even brighter, she nodded furiously and replied, "Me too! My ability also got an upgrade.".
Shocked and confused, he looked at her, trying to determine if she's lying. Seeing this Scarlett chuckled and said, " Yeah, normal caster of shadows has a distance limit of 8 meters, while I have 16-20, depending on the time. Normal casters can stop someone's movement, but I can control them.".
Confused, he asked the system of it knows what this ability is called and why is it better than normal. It answered nonchalantly.
< It's one of the ability of this world's Sovereign of Shadows. It's called [ Shadow Domain ], it's basically what she said. But she's not using it to the fullest. She can literally control any shadows within her range, including the owner of the shadow. She needs more practice. >
'I see but how did she got it?', he asked the system again.
< I don't know much. What's possible however is either she inherited it from her family somehow or that she's also an Immortal. I think it's the former for having more than 3 Immortals in one world has an almost 0 percent chance. Usually Immortals do all they can to mess with other Immortals. It would be rare if two Immortals is a friend. >
'I understand.', he then pondered.
"Hey! Are you even listening to me?", she said crossing her arms and pouting.
Startled, he answered, "Yeah of course, anyway help me make a cover my ability. I don't want to expose it publicly.".
Still pouting she answered, " Sure, I'll help you LIE to people.".
He smiled as he knew that she's mad because she thought that she was being ignored. Well, she's right but that is not the case.
He held her hands and leaned closer, whispering, "I'm going to claim my prize.".
As he said that his eye color changed again and both of them was teleported in their room. They kissed passionately and cuddled until the warm sun showed up.
...
"So this would be our class.", Scarlett said.
"Yeah, let's go in.".
As they go in, all heads turn on them. Some gazes showed admiration, probably because they're late and not because they could enter the Top 10 most beautiful creature they ever saw.
The boys smiled lovingly at Scarlett while looking down and glaring at Kazuya. Out of all the students, only him didn't wear a battle armor. Even Scarlett is wearing an armor.
He only wore a hoodie and a black tight jeans, sword on his waist, and a handsome face that most of them couldn't rival. This is probably what they were glaring for.
The only empty sits are at the back, luckily its not separated. Before they sat down they went to the seemingly sleeping teacher and greeted him.
"Good day teacher.", they said simultaneously.
Startled, he woked up with a frightened look, he then replied, "Oh- I was supposed to teach. Right.". He looked at Kazuya and Scarlett saying, " Sit down.".
The teacher stood up. His face is gloomy, clearly unsatisfied with his sleep. Eyebags under his eyes, pale lips, and bulging cheek bones. His hair is silver and is long, he wore a black suit, the one teachers in this school wears.
When you look at him you would hesitate to either greet him or scream. He looks more like a dead person who just broke free from the coffin than a teacher.
He scanned the class and nodded, he yawned then said, "I'm Mr. Slip. That's what people calls me. Anyway I would be your class teacher, I would be teaching General Knowledge.".
"Uh- schedules would be the usual. Well, if you did no research, the whole morning would be Psychic Control while the afternoon would be divided for General Knowledge, Weapon Mastery, and Club Gathering. Fridays would be Combat Training, while the first friday of the month would be Explorations.".
"Details on the other subjects would be explained by the Subject Teachers. The Clubs, uh- you can choose any club you want. You can also make one if you want to. By Friday I exepect that all of you is already a member of a club.".
"You can spend the whole morning in familiarizing with the school and your classmates. See you in 1 pm.", with that said he picked his things and leave the speechless students.
They all thought 'how rude', he didn't even ask if we had questions. He just said his things before walking away. He even yawned a few times while talking.
Kazuya sneered at the back, he thought, ' Ah- a typical lazy teacher but is actually a hidden expert. It is very cliche. A matter of fact, looking at this guys they are all cliche. Let's see what will make them special.'.
He scanned the room, there's a total of 40 students. Five rows and 8 columns. He and Scarlett sat at the left corner, Scarlett sat near the window while he sat beside. He, of course, made sure that no one would sit near her thus he put him near the window.
A lot of people tried to approach Kazuya, mainly the girls. Boys also tried to approach Scarlett, but whenever someone tries Kazuya would release a bit of his Killing Intent and direct it to them. This made Scarlett sat their silently while holding his hand.
A foolish man, red-haired and slim, a typical silk pants, approached him. He slammed his hands on Kazuya's table, before saying. " You! Change sits with me.".
The three girls who's trying to build connections with Kazuya took a step back. The class went silent, Kazuya looked at him as if he was a fool, which he is.
He showed his most charming smile and answered politely, "I'm sorry Mister, but I can't do that.".
He then unsheated his sword in a swift manner and slashed it to the man's head. Unfortunately, he stopped just before hitting the guy. He said, "And it's rude to demand something without even introducing yourself. My name is Kazuya, by the way.".
He sheated his sword. The red-haired man took a step back. His face couldn't be better as he was clearly frightened. He gulped loudly, but still he replied annoyingly , "You don't have the right to know this handsome man's name.".
When he said the word 'handsome' almost the whole class choked and is getting red trying to hold their laughter.
Well, this guy is handsome but compared to Kazuya he would pale. If this Kazuya, a guy who's obviously much handsome than him, has no right to know his name then who would have the right to?
"I'm from the Marquis family, that's all you have to know. I get what I want. So you! You better give it to me.", he said pointing at Kazuya's face.
"Uh- I'm sorry but I don't date boys.", he retorted, feigning an embarrassed look.
As the class hears it they couldn't hold their laughter and burst into it. Their face is red and tears seemed to form at the edges of their eyes.
This red-haired guy should probably mind what he spouts.
Hisf ace turned red, unable to hold it he pressed a button from his watch and a huge axe appeared. His hand then glowed and the normal looking axe turned fiery, literally.
He pointed it at Kazuya and said, " In the name of my family, I challenge you into a duel!".
