After Draxus returned to the hallway that leads to his room. He ended up seeing Lily, and Julie on the hallway as they left their room. "Ah, Draxus! Going somewhere?" Draxus who heard Serkyrio's words as he left the meeting room had a somewhat gloomy feel, but it disappeared as he heard Lily calling out to him. "Ah well..." With a small smile he thought up of an idea while planning on his methods to fight against Serkyrio. "I'm thinking of a new plan to fight against Serkyrio on the duels later in the afternoon, but..." Draxus's smile faded away a little as his thoughts finally got clogged up. Julie tilted her head and asked Draxus regarding his doubt. "But...?" Draxis snapped back to reality and waved his hand as if to not worry about it. "Nothing, nothing, it's nothing big to worry about. Anyways, regarding the battle against Serkyrio, I think it's a full on battle. Will you two watch on the fight? I'm going to train now after all." The twins nodded which got the three to go off to the private training grounds which Draxus use. In his mind, a thought passed through as if continuing to hide something. "There's no need for them to know... How broken and destroyed I am..."
Recollecting back in the past, was a person inside the dark bedroom. Without any great feelings, he prepared himself to go to work in the middle of the night. While preparing, he ended up in another argument with his lover and did everything he can in his mind to fix it. But the lover he had was talking to someone he doesn't want her to talk to. Which is why darkness began to harness once more in his heart, where he gains the deadliest feelings of jealousy and wariness. Wrath. In spite of how wrathful he became, he ended up going off to work and try his best despite all the despair he had. A rough day passed, and he was invited to drink after their work ended in the afternoon. A mistake he made due to the darkness covering it, caused by the very person he loved for continuously fanning up his anxiety. After getting drunk, he was completely abandoned by the girl, and after a week later of resigning from his job, the girl gave her hand to the person he hated the most. Only two pieces remained which turned him into what he is today. A white headset, and the cerulean jacket with white fur on the hood. That became his trademark look as he dyed his hair into white. And then it began, thoughts about a way to turn back time, filled with hatred and darkness in mind. In short, it was a simple: "Revenge..."
But then once again he only underwent a major change of personality, not from a good to bad state, but a bad to worse state. He himself understood that once he enters the state of the wish, he could never come back to being a decent person. In the present time as he walked with Lily and Julie, he thought that: "They don't need to know who I really am yet... But I'll tell them eventually..." Draxus removed his gloominess and went off to train with Lily and Julie.

On the other side of the castle was Arlesk who was preparing to fight against Serkyrio. He was the first one to notice Draxus's grim semi-grim expression after leaving the meeting room. He was talking to Remuel about their plans to fight against Serkyrio on the training which got them to notice the expression on Draxus after he left the room. "Truly fragile huh...?" While performing maintenance on his sword, he looked up to the sky and reminisced some of his older memories.
On the old world, a young student was studying abroad on a science related course. He was doing all he could to try and get through the struggles of living alone in such a young age. His determination was unwavering, but the struggles of going alone was too difficult. Eventually, he ended up becoming a person who is pretty much the personification of sarcasm. He gets the knowledge of memes and was able to make very harsh jokes. It was then where he met Serkyrio who welcomed him for the very first time as a good friend. At that point, he improved quite well as he was able to finally break his limits in class. Eventually, he began to gain interest in history, and he continued to learn regarding the things that relate to it, progress was quick but he had to take breaks at times. History novels, action books, greek history, and other things became his expertise. However, it didn't last forever as getting contact into family and telling his intensions, it wasn't accepted easily. It was then he decided to persuade them by showing results. That determination to convince them disappeared as he ended up in a different world.
"I guess, I can't say that we're the same. But that doesn't change that both of us are comrades with different stories..." With a small mutter, he loaded a bullet into the musket that was bought and improved by Draxus. He then left the room after completing the maintenance.
Inside the Dimensional Laboratory was Remuel preparing both his scythe and trident. It was already past lunchtime that he only had a couple of hours to prepare for the upcoming fight. He doesn't know the order of the fight as he planned out on bringing forth his utmost best to defeat Serkyrio. "I really have to get at least one point against him..." Lynx heard Remuel's remark and immediately asked him about it. "Umm, Sir Remuel, what do you mean by that?" Remuel turned his gaze to Lynx before returning it to the scythe. "You see, I'm actually born from a really wealthy family in the other world. Of course, we mind our manners and such, it was similar to here in the royalty but there are differences. The expectations given here in royalty is only minimal once you reach success. But in my world, success is only the beginning of true hell..." Remuel drank the tea that was poured on his cup by Lynx, she then sat down after being beckoned by Remuel to listen. "Once you succeed, you can no longer fail even once. Because one fail can get you to lose everything and head straight to the end where your life is lost. It's somewhat a good thing that I ended up here, but the only thing that people want is to have a luxurious life on the other world. Living without doing anything, I hated it so much that I wished that I lived in a different world. Where every bit of magic that I had studied along with the chemistry that I learned back there could be applied nicely. But eh, it's all good now since I ended up in this world where I can use the magic freely." Lynx took in all the information regarding Remuel and asked him a question. "Do you hate your family?" Remuel shook his head slowly to tell her that she misunderstood. "I don't hate them, but it's really annoying to keep up with the attitude of refinement. I just liked freedom, that's all. Just because I'm part of a rich family, doesn't mean that I can't be trusted... In fact, I'm rather glad that I met Serkyrio since he was the first one to welcome me to the group." Remuel smiled as he carried his scythe and moved the trident into the interdimensional storage. "Harold, gonna watch?" Harold turned his head around and nodded to Remuel in response. "Hell yeah, it's been a while since a spar has happened so it's a good event that we don't want to miss." Remuel turned his gaze to Lynx and gave a smile. "Well, as far as my story goes, it's not as bad as some other members I believe."
On a later time, at 1500 inside a large colosseum area, Draxus, Remuel, Arlesk, and Serkyrio gathered around in each direction away from the middle of the arena. Surrounding them is a large audience that is hyped up for a powerful battle between the strongest members of the Preeliance. "First up, who wants to volunteer?" Serkyrio asked the three on who will face him in the battlefield first. "I, Draxus Heimdal, will fight first." Serkyrio smiled as he saw Draxus with a completely determined face with very light clothing for free movement. "Draxus as usual eh? Aight, as for the rules, feel free to do everything you can to win." Serkyrio enters a monkey stance form as to notify Draxus that he's also going to use everything in his power to win. Draxus then took out six cards which got Serkyrio to a small surprise. "He's been drinking liquid mana huh...?" He concentrated his eyes a little and noticed a huge amount of mana oozing off from Draxus. It was then he spoke out the cards that he will be using. "[Stack of Fortune]! [III - Empress], [VIII - Justice], [IX - Hermit], [XX - Wheel of Fortune], [XI - Strength], [XV - Devil]!" Dangerous amounts of mana flowed out from Draxus as the audience began cheering loudly. Commentation also began with the assistance of Andreus and Richard. Draxus smiled fearlessly as he looked at Serkyrio in the eyes. Their gazes connected and talked in sync. ""Aight, let the battle begin!""
