"Tatsuya Ryo..."
'ELM: ??? , SP. ELM: Dark spirit magic, Sex: Male, STR: ???, MAG: ???'
All the students unable to utter a single word just stand there looking terrified.
"What...! Unidentified magic and no numbers... also dark spirit magic is something we haven't heard of." Thinks Sieg to himself while standing there looking terrified.
Tatsuya looks at Goro and sees him laughing.
"Alright! You pass mystery boy! Do what you want for the rest of the day..."
"Wait what?"
All the students had the same thoughts in their mind. Goro then tells everyone-
"Now everyone pick a partner for the next session..."
The students look confused at first then they start pairing with other people.
"What is the next session anyways?"
"Is that the thing you should be worried about... I'm just thinking what kind of monster that transfer student is..."
"Let's just forget about that and wait..."
"Yeah! Don't want him to overhear us..."
Tatsuya looks dissatisfied and when Goro sees this he asks him with concern-
"What's wrong? Aren't you happy with your results?"
"No... It's just that I'm a bit frustrated..."
"Why? No big deal... That just means that your stats crossed 1000..."
"That's not it... I don't know what my magic element is..." and he continues to look frustrated.
"He doesn't know what his magic is...? Does that mean?" thinks Goro and then he calls Iris.
Iris walks briskly and asks Goro politely-
"Yes Teach?"
"Do you know what your magic is?"
"No... I thought that it didn't show anything because I don't have any magic element."
"No. no. no. That's not possible. After looking at that number for your magic nobody will believe that..."
"But I really don't know..."
Goro then looks at the frustrated Tatsuya and Iris and tells them-
"If you both want to take part in the next session or not it really doesn't matter. You can go back to the classroom if you want to... But... the rule will change a bit only for Tatsuya." This last sentence catches Tatsuya's attention.
"What do you mean by changes?"
"If you stay here and take part in the next session you'll have a lot of fun... fun..."
"You don't have to say it twice. I was planning on staying anyways."
"Now everyone... This will be your battlefield. You all will battle in pairs...And no use of magic in this session." and he asks Tatsuya and Iris to sit on the chairs near him.
Sieg who had not spoken anything since this started shouts out-
"TATSUYA!"
"What?"
"Battle me..." he says with a fierce face while standing alone.
"Are you frustrated you didn't get a partner?"
"No Dammit! You're strong..."
"That's your only reason...?"
"I don't think you need any other reason now do you?"
Tatsuya smirks and gets up from his chair. Goro looks at everyone still looking confused so he says-
"I didn't make myself clear did I? This is a training session to strengthen you all for the future...! Now stop dawdling and start... if you don't then I'll make all of you face me."
On hearing that all the students start to trade blows with the other students. Sieg who had been aching to fight Tatsuya charges at Tatsuya and lands a very strong punch on Tatsuya's face. Tatsuya then holds his hand, picks him up and throws him a bit far away. Then he spits the blood in his mouth.
"Oh! I forgot to set a barrier... I don't want them to destroy anything here... My salary is at stake here! Mystery boy and dragon boy!"
Both of them look at Goro to hear what he says.
"If you break anything here... I'll kill you!"
The both of them gulp their spit. Then Goro says-
"That's just a warning... Now, to make it safer." He lifts his finger and says, "Been a while since I used magic..." suddenly a pink cube like thing traps Tatsuya and Sieg inside.
Tatsuya punches the wall of the cube and the wall wobbles a bit.
"A barrier huh?"
Sieg charges at him once again but Tatsuya dodges and kicks his abdomen launching him into the air. Sieg feels the impact from that kick as he goes up in the air. Then he breathes in and while crashing down on Tatsuya says-
"You really are strong."
Tatsuya blocks his kick with his arms but he still feels pain.
"You stole the words from my mouth." Says Tatsuya and holds his leg to throw him.
Sieg knew what Tatsuya was going to do so this time he uses his other leg and lands another strong kick on the arm holding Sieg's leg. Tatsuya feels something crack so he leaves his leg and punches him in the face with his other arm.
"You ba*tard..."
"He he..." laughs Sieg while wiping the blood from his nose.
"Time for your demise, Sieg!"
"Bring it on, Tatsuya!" and they continue to clash with their fists and legs.

While they battled each other in the barrier the barrier walls were wobbling a lot with every blow they dealt to each other in there. The others who were just training and not going seriously at each other looks at them and says-
"Both of them... idiots."
After landing few more blows to each other's faces they start to pant. Celestine goes near the cube and says-
"Why are you doing this seriously?!"
"To see who's stronger obviously..."
"Why is it that you're both using such destructive strength in there?"
"Why? Well, that's because..."
"You shouldn't look away in a fight!" Says Sieg while pummelling Tatsuya into the wall.
"HAAAAA!"
"AARGHHH!"
The cube had been sustaining damage from their blows. Now the impacts from their punches were affecting the cube directly and the cube had started to crack. Sieg continued his Gatling punches on Tatsuya while Tatsuya screamed. After a while just when Sieg deals the final blow on his abdomen.
"Take this! Fist of the white dragon!"
Tatsuya had broken few bones here and there by then. When the final punch was gonna land, Tatsuya grabs his arm with an expressionless face.
When Sieg looks at his face he feels fear.
Tatsuya then makes a fist with his other hand and punches Sieg in the face.
"...Impact." says Tatsuya after landing the punch on his face.
Sieg feels like his face was being crushed by some monster as he flies to the other end of the cube. Tatsuya then kneels a bit and disappears. Sieg notices his disappearance and tries to find him before he crashed into the wall.
Tatsuya appears on the other end of the cube and holds Sieg's head. Then he takes his head and hurls his head into the wall. After doing that the cube shatters and Sieg keeps on flying in the direction of the academy's wall.
Goro feels the barrier's magic disappear and when he looks over he looks at Tatsuya just standing there normally while Sieg was gonna crash into the academy's wall.
"Oh crap!" says Goro and uses some skill and moves really fast to Sieg.
But it was too late. By the time Goro caught up with the flying Sieg the impact couldn't have been avoided. Goro goes and stands in front of the wall and when he catches Sieg he feels overpowered and crashes into the wall along with Sieg.
Tatsuya falls down unconscious and on seeing this Celestine runs to him to heal him. Goro gets up from inside the destroyed wall and sees Sieg unconscious. Sieg had been bleeding a lot. He picks up Sieg and carries him to where Celestine was healing Tatsuya. Then he drops Sieg on the ground and says-
"Heal him as well."
Celestine removes Tatsuya and sees the claw mark on his back. His back had been bleeding and he was losing a lot of blood as well. Sieg and Tatsuya even while being unconscious seemed happy.
"All of you can continue..." says Goro and the other students continue with their training.
Few hours later Tatsuya wakes up to find himself in the infirmary. He gets up and looks on his left and sees Sieg snoring.
"What happened? I don't remember anything after I blacked out when he was punching me... Veilios you there?"
"Yes."
"Do you know what happened on that field? Anything will do!"
"...I'm afraid that I can't say anything. If you do come to know about it you won't be able to process it... at least now."
Tatsuya lays on the bed again and says-
"I can't process it...I accept the challenge! I'll definitely get stronger...you just...wait..." and he falls asleep.
After he falls asleep Veilios says-
"Its better you don't know about your counterpart..."

Sieg wakes up to find himself in the infirmary. When he looks outside the window he sees that the sun had already gone down. Then he notices someone sitting near Tatsuya. He moves the curtain to find Kei sitting and sleeping on the chair near Tatsuya's bed.
"Who is this kid?"
Then he looks to his side and sees Celestine eating her dinner. She was eating normal bread and milk from the cafeteria.
"They're siblings."
"Is that so? But then, why are you eating here and that too bread and milk?"
"Teach told me to watch you both and after you both wake up I'll have to report."
Sieg then folds his hands and thinks back what happened in that fight. Then he remembers Tatsuya's expressionless face. He shivers and shakes his head sideways.
"What is up with him? One minute he is normal while getting beaten... the next second he tries to kill me..."
"Teach was surprised himself... His barrier was broken after all."
"He was the one who created that barrier?!"
"Are you saying that you never noticed?"
"..."
"Can you move around?"
"Yea. I think... But still for a dragon slayer to lose to a human, it's a shame."
"Oye. Oye. Oye. You're a human too you know..."
Celestine finishes eating and then asks him-
"Are you hungry?"
"Do you have something to eat?"
"Take this... This is all I have." Says Celestine while giving him a lollipop.
"Loli...pop?"
"Bear with it..."
"Bear with it?! I haven't eaten anything today!"
Kei gets up because of them shouting and talking and while rubbing her eye she asks-
"Cele-nee?"
"Oh no... We've woken her up..."
"Um... Kei-chan. You can sleep. There's no problem..."
Kei nods her head sideways and says-
"It's ok! Ryo-nii slept a lot. So he'll be fine now!"
Tatsuya gets up from bed and yawns.
"It's night already...? Let's go back, Kei." Says Tatsuya as he stands up and starts to walk out of the door.
"Wait!"
"What is it, Sieg?"
"Let's have a great three years together, Tatsuya!"
Tatsuya smiles a bit and then says-
"No! No way! With you... Definitely not!" and starts to make an irritating face.
Sieg chases after him but Tatsuya picks up Kei and escapes.
"How do you know them?"
"He is our saviour after all..."
"So you were in that dungeon as well?"
"Of course! Although I could only heal him in the end..."
"He won't go down easily... I only realized this after facing him once..."
"That guy, he just appeared out of nowhere... it's really strange."
"I'm hungry... So I'll grab some food and go back to my room... you can go back too."
Tatsuya starts to eat dinner with Kei in the cafeteria.
"How was your day?
"I made a friend... Her name is Lilith Ravès."
(*Author's note: the letter 's' is silent here)
"Her name sounds cool..."
"She's a really nice person! She invited me to their game where the girls get
ordered by the boys and you're supposed to do what they say." Says Kei while
smiling.
Tatsuya was drinking coffee. When he heard her say this with a smile on her
face he sprays the coffee in his mouth. Then he tells her-
"Kei... That was not a game. They were bullying you people..."
"Bullying... I don't know what that is but when one of the boys ordered me to
get tea for them Lilith punched that boy in the face and laughed at him while
he cried..."
"She's evil... More like it reminds me of someone... Anyways, Kei. That is called bullying. They make fun of you while making you do such things..."
"So... should I stay with Lili then?"
"Lili... Feel free to. She's a good friend of yours right?"
"Hm!" says Kei while nodding her head.
After they finish eating they leave the cafeteria and head back to the dorms. As soon as they leave Sieg enters the cafeteria and asks the lady at the counter for a burger. She gives him the burger and he gobbles up the burger.
"Hm... one won't do it seems..." and he asks her for 10 more.
Tatsuya enters his room with Kei and goes and sits on the bed. Then he finds the paper with the rules of this academy and the dorms. Kei jumps on the bed and says-
"What is that Ryo-nii?"
"This...? It's the rules we're supposed to follow in this academy and the dorms."
" Oh!" Says Kei and gets down from the bed.
Then she walks over to Tatsuya and says-
"Ryo-nii! I want to take a bath..."
"A bath... Go on... I'll go after you're done..." and Tatsuya continues to read the rules.
"Ryo-nii?"
"If the clothes is what you're wondering about... don't worry. We have clothes for wearing..."
"No... Can we take a bath together?"
Tatsuya drops the paper on hearing her say this.
"Huh?! Kei did you say something like take a bath together?"
"Yeah..."
"This kid..."
Then Tatsuya starts to think to himself-
"Wait... Take a bath together... I'm not a lolicon! I have to tell her to go take a bath by herself!"
"Kei..."
Then Kei starts to look unhappy and looks at her feet.
"How the hell am I supposed to say no to that?!" thinks Tatsuya to himself.
"Ok! Let's get in..."
"Okay!"
"But, you'll wear a towel... deal?"
"Ok!" says Kei and runs to the bathroom.
"I feel like I'm forgetting something more important than this though... Hmmm... What is it?" says Tatsuya and goes to the bathroom after changing and wearing a towel.
The rules on the paper were:
1. Can't leave dormitory after 10 in the night.
2. Can't sneak into girls rooms at night.(same for girls)
3. There is a kitchen and an eating hall in the dorm but if you're eating there make your own food.
4. No using magic for fighting or such activity when inside the dorms building.
5. Weapons can be brought in but do not use them in your room or in the building.
6. Last rule is to not bunk classes... you can only skip classes if you're sick or some other problem.
Tatsuya gets in and sees a tub and a shower. Also he sees Kei sitting on a stool waiting for Tatsuya to come.
Then Tatsuya goes to the shower and turns it on. After washing themselves they both get into the tub together.
"Um... Kei? Why are you also in the tub?"
"Because we're taking a bath together."
"You shouldn't tell people about this. They'll think that I'm bad. Please don't!"
"Okay..."
Then Kei goes to the other end of the tub and starts to splash water on Tatsuya's face. Tatsuya was relaxing and when the water falls on his face he acts as if he was sinking and when Kei sees this she looks worried. Then Tatsuya slowly comes from under the water like a zombie and grabs her and starts to tickle her.
"How's that?"
"Ahahahahahaha... Please Lyo-nii stop il please..."
"That���s cute..."
"ahahahahaha... Hm?"
"Nothing. I'm getting out of bath..."
"Ryo-nii... where is doggie... didn't you say that he's with us?"
"Doggie?" Then Tatsuya runs out and goes to the buster sword.
"Kiro! I'm sorry I forgot about you... How do I turn you back though...?"
After Tatsuya changes into normal clothes he opens his grimoire and looks for the Weaponize skill. Then he reads what was written under it.
[Skill: Weaponize... turns a living thing into a weapon...]
"What is up with this half-assed description?! Maybe if I look in the other pages..." says Tatsuya and starts to flip pages. Then he comes back on that same page and sees a new skill next to Weaponize.
"This was not there just now... Where did it appear from? Well, doesn't matter!"
The he holds the handle of the buster sword and says-
"Enhanced skill: Revert!" and the same light appears and Kiro returns to his Lycan form.
Then Tatsuya makes the gesture of no need to make any sound and hugs Kiro. Then Kei comes out after changing and sees kiro. She jumps onto Kiro's back and rides him.
"Doggie is back!"
"His name is Kiro... Remember it Kei!"
"Hm! Kiro... sit!" and after he sat down Kei slides down his back.
"Kiro and Kei both of you will sleep right now."
"What about you?"
"I'll sleep too!"
Then Tatsuya gets into bed with Kei and ask Kiro-
"You're not hungry are you?" and Kiro nods his head sideways.
Tatsuya then smiles and says-
"Just till tomorrow... Forgive me Kiro. Weaponize!" then Kiro turns back into the sword.
