After the funeral, Kuragami, Sasaki, Homura, Hoshiko, Cherry and Isamu have been picked to help out the nobles who reside in Yotr Kingdom.
Since this is their first mission with no Captain, they have been given a week to train.
Isamu has been working on using consecutive Thunder and Lightning Techniques.
Cherry has been working on her healing abilities and Nature Control.
Hoshiko has been working on her light speed abilities and being able to use them for longer.
Homura has been working on his fire power and physical strength. He has learned a couple new Fire Techniques.
Sasaki has been working on his Nitōryū Wolf. He has also made two new techniques.
Kuragami has been working on his Ice Coating and using multiple techniques while using Ice Coating. He can now use it for way longer and when it deactivated, it takes less of a hit on his body.
All 5 of them have made it to the Yotr Kingdom. They will be staying in the main castle for now.
The Yotr Kingdom is very large. It has 4 islands circling one main island which is 5x bigger than the other 4 islands combined. The 4 islands are connected to the main island via bridges. However these bridges aren't normal bridges. They're just an expansion of the islands meaning that people still live there. Plus, one of the bridges are in the process of being demolished. It's blocked off.
At the entrance of the main castle, the King, pink haired princess, butler and two of the main guards are there. The guard on the left is holding a red rose.
"Hey Hoshiko! No way! That's the girl who bought our dresses!"
"Oh my it is!"
Kuragami smiles.
"Man it's been a long time since I've been here!"
The whole team looks at Kuragami confused.
"You've been here before?!"
"Yeah. My Dad used to visit here a lot when I was little. He always will bring me here and sometimes Yuma."
"So you know that cute girl over there?!"
"Who Diana? Yeah. She's my best friend."
"Your best friend?!"
They're all so surprised. Homura starts to get jealous.
"Hey Kuragami! Long time no see!"
"Yo King! So you guys were watching the Shorai Skirmish?"
"Well we weren't. But Diana was. She heard you were taking part and couldn't wait for the day. She even said you know Coating now. That's insane for your age."
Kuragami brags and smiles. He rubs his nose.
"Well I do train a lot. Some may call me the strongest Shorai. Hehe."
His whole teams looks at him with straight faces, except Sasaki.
Well why don't you guys give your bags to the guards and come in. They all give their bags to the guards. Sasaki is the only one that gives it to the one on the left.
"What's with the rose? You have a wife?"
"Yes, you could say that."
Sasaki looks at the rose. He then looks away. The rose turns white. The guard doesn't notice it.
Sasaki walks away inside the castle. The rose goes back to normal.
Diana holds Kuragami's hand.
"Come with me."
Kuragami and Diana go off somewhere else. The King and the rest of the team go into a room to explain the mission.
The head of the guards walk into the room. She goes on to introduce herself and explain the mission. Her name is Binsa.
"So for you guys to understand this mission, I have to tell you about some history the Yotr Kingdom has."
"History?"
"Yes. Hundreds of years ago, a war started with the Yotr Kingdom and another kingdom. That other kingdom was ruled by one of the strongest people in history, The Supreme King. He was a vicious and evil person who wanted to see the whole of Yotr suffer."
"Woah!"
"Really!"
Sasaki starts to get interested.
"The Supreme King? The person who wielded The Legendary Sword I'm looking for. Maybe this mission will help me."
"The main reason to why the Yotr Kingdom is still alive to this day, is because of the Queen of Yotr at the time. She was a goddess like queen. She had the power to suppress and defeat The Supreme King."
"Cool!"
"So what's that got to do with this mission? You guys don't have to worry about The Supreme King anymore."
"That's not true."
They all get shocked.
"Follow me."
The guard leads them into a basement. Inside the basement, there's multiple scriptures. The team are confused at what the scriptures are trying to say.
"I know you guys are confused. So let me tell you what the is means."
They all nod their head.
"There are many scriptures just like these. They're made from prophecies by a divine being who is no longer here with us. This is showing that the Queen of Yotr's spirit will be reborn into the True Future Queen of Yotr. We know that her spirit is now in Diana. Diana was chosen to be the True Queen of Yotr."
"Wow. So Kuragami was best friends with the True Queen of Yotr?"
The guard nods her head.
"But that's not all."
She points at another scripture.
"When Queen of Yotr's spirit is reincarnated into someone, so is The Supreme Kings."
Homura steps up.
"Well what does that mean?!"
"It means, that The Supreme King, is back!"
They all become flabbergasted.
Diana takes Kuragami to a balcony.
"What's up Di?"
She looks down.
"Hey Kuragami. Can I ask you one thing?"
"Yeah. Anything."
"I don't know how long I'm gonna live for. Many dangerous people want me dead. So please-"
Her voice starts trembling.
"Please can you protect me so I can live as long as you?"
