"*Wakey, Wakey! Little Faggot!*"
*Clang!*
With my automated pan-clanging alarm clock, i woke up at 6 AM to prepare to go to school.
While taking my bath and brushing my teeth, I realized something...
"Huh...?
MY DREAM WAS CONTINUED?!"
I may never want to believe it, but for my 5 minutes of staring into the ceiling, I realized that it was really continued. As common thing as any dreams was, I ignored the rare occurrence and continued to take my bath.
ā
"(First dream. I woke up in my room and live normally. But in the afternoon, everything gradually changed until I realized that im not on Earth anymore. Because of my curiosity, I went on a cliff and commit suicide in which Vlera, my childhood friend saved me, she later invites me to her place to meet her teacher but a monster knocked us out, from there, I woke up in my bedroom which means I woke up from that dream. But to my second dream, it was continued. I woke up in a bed, I was told that Vlera took me there that's why I'm still alive. Minutes later, this Kallen kid showed up introducing as Vlera's teacher, I may don't want to believe it, but from then, I slept again and i woke up in my bedroom. Damn this is confusing.)"
If you think I would ignore such a thing, nope, that's not a Marco way. While on my class, I never thinked of something other than my dream, it also led for my inactiveness in class. I came back home at 6 PM and i slept right away.
"Please continue that dream. Please continue that dream..."

"Wakey, Wakey. Little Faggot."
*Clang*
With my automated metal beam-clanging alarm clock, i woke up at 6 AM to witness such a beautiful face Vlera had. Wait.
"MY DREAM WAS CONTINUED?! YESSS!"
"Shut the fuck up, it's 6 in the morning."
*Clang!*
"Oof, I'm sorry."
...
After I took my breakfast and rest for a bit, Vlera invited me to a place, this is my first time going out of this house so I was excited.
As i opened the door, I saw a stunning sight of nature greeting towards me.
I found out that that Vlera's house was so big and in the middle of the forest. The environment, the bird, the wild animals, the structure in the distance, EVERYTHING! You would never see this kind of place there on Earth!
"Wow, Vlera, I didn't know your house would be so big."
"Who told you this is my house?"
Ok, now that took the mood.
"Wait, this isn't yours?"
"Would you actually expect an 18 years old girl owning such a big house, huh?"
"Wait, she's 18 in this height?"
"I could hear you."
*Clang!*
"Ow!"
Alright, I get it, you're as the same height of a 15 years old like me, but please, stop with the metal beam! That one was as big as you can see in Eiffel Tower for you to lift it using one hand and hit me with!
"Ehem, let's get to the point. While Teacher was sleeping, let's spar in that area and see if I can teach you something I know."
"S-sure."
Now that's bullshit. I can't even win a single fist fight yet a dragon killer like Vlera was inviting me to spar?!
...
"Good morning, Lady Vlera."
"(Damn, they're so rich that they have a maid, she's cute though.)"
As we enter the training ground, it was filled with training equipments that I immediately tried out. As i picked a hard wooden sword and a great armor, Vlera showed with only a wooden sword.
The fight started and nervousness came first to me before I even made a move.
"I didn't expect a man like you to shake on their sword when they're fighting a woman. Heh, I forgot that you once jumped on a cliff."
"Hey! I was just testing if-"
"You sure are easy to distract."
*Tack!*
Even on a wooden sword, Vlera's strike was as hard as a metal sword. While I'm shaking on my sword and holding it on all of my strength, Vlera here was one handing the fight while her other hand was on her back.
"Ah!"
*Thud*
"How weak. By your performance today, I'm afraid it will take you 2 more years than I did to learn what I know."
"I'm sorry, this is my first time to fight using a sword.( !!! Wait. That's not what i meant to say!)"
"Splendid, Marco."
"Wait, what?"
Suddenly, the maid said something in the background that made my eyes to squint.
"Vlee, I suppose you need to hold back on your words a little more. I wouldn't want for Marco here to be unsatisfied with my lectures."
"Appologies, Teacher Kallen."
That maid... She's Kallen all this time?!
"It's alright Vlee, mistakes happen."
"K-Kallen?! You're that maid?! I thought you're sleeping?!"
"Pfft. Don't tell me you actually believed to such a trick."
"Hey! That's not fair!"
"Alright, alright. Enough of jokes, though I'm sorry, I only told Vlee to say it so that you wont get pressured even more, but now that I saw how you fight, I might as well invite you, will you accept it?"
"Sure, but one thing, I don't mind if it's a kid or not im fighting."
"Haha. I know, Marco."
I know I said those lines, but as Kallen aimed her sword to me, an uneasy feeling came through my spine that almost made me piss in my pants.
"What's the problem? Fear got your feet?"
"No."
Without hesitation, I came running towards Kallen but I slowed down after she drops her sword. If you think im stopping, then I suppose you're wrong, I'm gonna take this opportunity!- huh?
*Thud*
"What... Happened?"
Without a doubt, I knew she dropped her sword but a strange force made me rolling in the ground.
"Yup, you're correct, Vlera. This being is guaranteed to take 4 years to reach what you are today."
"Teacher, if there's anyone who needs to hold back, it's you. I didn't even made my stance to fight him yet you used your new technique to him."
"Hehe, sorry."
As I look at them from the ground, I knew that if I was going to stay at this household for a little longer, I might die because of them. Something was off, something was suspicious, from their image, they might be a normal woman and a child but their shadows tell something. This is only a dream...
Yet i was willing to sacrifice my Life to discover their true nature.
