After a span of a few hundred years of tyrannical rule, the Arcadia Empire was overthrown in a coup d'etat. The one who achieved that was a Solitary Machine Dragon. Even now, true identity of that knight remains a mystery . Full of fear and respect, the people would tell the tale of this Drag-Knight, whom they called, the Black Hero.
Drag-Ride are machine dragons. Ancient weapons excavated from the ruins. Since then, their structure has hardly been well-documented. Due to the trends and the autocratic system of the old empire, their use was mostly prohibited to women. Since the establishment of the new kingdom with the Coup D'État five years ago, it was proven that the compatibility aptitude of women with the Drag-Rides was far above that of men. There are rare species even among them, and the ones who possessing high performance were called Divine Drag-Ride. In addition, user of Drag-Rides are called "Drag-Knights".
"Oi... let me out! I swear what I did was an accident!" a voice cried.
In a dungeon cell inside the Royal Officer Academy somewhere at Cross Field City Fortress. Here we see Darren Cross, in his gray jumpsuit and red & white sneakers, all chain-up on the wall.
How did he get in this situation?
Well... the Cross Guards we're given a mission to Cross Field City Fortress to eliminate the Emotionless that were detected in the said area. One night, the team were chasing a group of humanoid-like rabbit Emotionless and Darren got separated from his team when he chases one towards the Royal Officer Academy's roof, and while running, he broke through the roof and fell down in a hot bathroom filled with naked females.
And going with the cliche situation, you know how things ended up for the poor sap.
"Oi... if your still keeping me in here then at least give a harmonica to play with... I'm getting bored here..." Darren pleaded. Truth to be told, Darren can easily escape by just breaking the chains but not wanting to cause any more trouble, intentionally or not, so he refrain himself from doing it.
Then a girl enters the dungeon cell.
"Hey you, little deviant." the girl said.
"Not little." Darren grumbled.
"The headmistress wants to meet you, so don't try anything funny or else." the girl warned.

bzzzttt...
A minute later, we see Shalice along with another girl escorting Darren with his hands still tied up while being watched by many girls as they walk.
"I feel like a circus attraction." Darren grumbled.
The other girl looks at him with a grin, "Breaking inside this school's bathroom here, you sure have a lot of nerves, don't you?'' she pointed out.

"Cut it out, Tillfar.'' Shalice chastised.

"But Headmistress!" Shalice argued.
"Don't worry, he can be trusted. I'm good friends with their higher-ups." Relie reassured.
"What do you mean by Coalition?" Tillfur asked in confusion.
"That's the first time I ever heard of that." Shalice mentioned.
Relie giggles in response as Darren began to explain about the Heroes Coalition, the existence of the Mulitverse, the Emotionless and their current mission, this surprises the two girls to the bone.
"No way...'' Tillmit gasped.
"He's not from this world..." Shalice muttered.
Relie nodded, "Um!" she replied with a smile.
Before anyone could speak, the office door opens as two girls barges inside which they were followed by two more girls and a boy, outside we also see a small number of girls watching them.
"Wait a second! We haven't approve for something like this?!" a blonde girl demanded.
"Headmistress! Just what the heck is the meaning of all of this?!" a taller blonde girl stated.
"Lisha-san! Celes-san! Please clam down!" the boy called.
"Fufufu... this is quite interesting." a girl with blue hair commented.
The last girl let's out a yawn, "Lu-chan... I want to eat cake...'' she said randomly.

"Headmistress! What into your mind letting this perverted so-called "man" walk in the school grounds!" Lisesharte demanded.
"And why are you believing this degenerate! Multiverse? Heroes Coalition? That's just foolishness." Celistia stated.
"Haters always going to hate." Darren grumbled.
Lisesharte then pointed her finger at Darren, "I suggest we handed him to authority and have him executed!" she proclaimed.
"Lisha-san! That's a bit too extreme!" Lux exclaimed.
Darren's eyes widen in fear, "Execution?'' he repeated, "No! Please no! Anything but that! I don't wanna die yet!" he cried in panic, "I got so many things in my stupid life that I haven't go to do?!" he reasoned.
In an office somewhere in Neo-City, we see Darren sitting behind a desk while on the telephone.
"Hang on, I'll transfer your call~" Darren said with a smile.
"Okay! First things first! I don't work in any call center!" Darren clarified, "And second, who imagine that?" he asked as girl from the far back raised her hand, "Thank you very much, you had quite an imagination." he said, "But it baffles me that you know a call center." he jabbed.
"Anyway! We need to punish him!" Lisesharte demanded.
"I assure you, Miss Lisha but this young man has good intentions. Plus, what he said is all true. I will vouch for that.'' Relia stated.
"Then show us proof that he's not from this world." Celistia challenged.
"I would to present evidence if I still had my tablet me, which by the way, you girls confiscated.'' Darren replied.
"Oh! You mean this." Relia said bringing out his tablet from her desk, "I'm surprise that it's still working after getting drench in hot water." she mused as she handed the device back to him.
"It's waterproof." Darren explained, "Okay... where do I begin...'' he trails.
Darren then began to explain about the tablet, showing them games, apps and pictures, he also begin to explain about the Heroes Coalition, the details about Gifts and Blesseds, the Emotionless, the Multiverse and his team's current mission. His simple explanation was more than enough for them to believe him, but Lisesharte and Celistia are still mad at him.
"All right we believe you but that still doesn't excuse you from dropping in the bath house last night!" Celistia pointed out.
"I told you that was an accident! I was chasing a rabbit-like Emotionless running on two legs when I suddenly crashed through the roof of the bath house!" Darren reasoned.
Relia giggles, "Well I don understand it was an accident but Miss Lisha does have a point. Okay then, I'll be leaving the punishment to the girls who are the victims of the incident." she said with a smile.
Darren looks at her in disbelief, "Ya got to be kidding me?!" he exclaimed.
Krulcifer then leans on Lux, "Seems familiar?'' she asked.
Lux let's out a sigh, "Please... don't remind me.'' he muttered.
Lisesharte then let's out a smirk, "Well then! Since you came from a place filled with fighters then I challenged you to duel!" she challenged much to his surpirse, "If you win, we will forgive your actions last night but if I win, you will be arrested and be executed as well!" she stated as the girls let out a squeal in delight.
"Miss Lisha! That is too much!" Lux exclaimed.
"This will be interesting." Shalice said.
"She can surely beat that man!" Tillfur exclaimed with a grin.
"So what do you say, Mister Cross?'' Relia asked.
Darren slumps his shoulder down, "Do I even had a choice?!" he replied in surrender.
Lisesharte crosses her arms, "Tell this to the entire academy! There will be an exhibition between the princess of the new kingdom and a random fighter." she announced.
"Princess?" Darren asked in confusion.
"Lisesharte Atismata ! That's my name... the first queen of the New Kingdom!" Lisesharte introduced himself.
"Jesus Christ!" Darren muttered in shock as he turns to Relia, "Can I contact my teammates?'' he asked.
"Feel free to do so." Relia replied.
Darren then pressed a button on his tablet, "Hello... anyone there?" he called.
"Hey Darren!" Raya replied much to everyone's awe, "Where have ya been? We've been looking all over for ya!?'' she stated.
"Sorry... but I just got myself involve in a very serious trouble.'' Darren replied with a tired look.
"Ugh... what did you do this time?" Raya groaned in question.
"I swear it was an accident, I was just running after that damn rabbit-like Emotionless hopping from one roof to another and all of sudden, I lost my footing and crashes through a roof and into an all girl's bath house... and you can all guess what happens next." Darren explained with a blank look.
"How are you gonna get yourself out from that situation?'' Raya asked.
"The princess here challenged me in a duel where if I win I get scot free but I feel lose, I go to jail and get executed." Darren explained with a blank look.
Then Chad let's out a loud laughter, "Aahahahahaha! Men! What's up with you and making princesses angry?!" he mused.
"Shut it playboy!" Darren jabbed, "Look I'm in a dire situation here! So I need one of you to send me my sword and armor.'' he requested.
"That's what you get for leaving your stuffs in the inn." Laura's voice said.
"Just... just bring my equipment." Darren said in frustration.
"Don't worry dude! I'll bring it to you as fast as I can!" Sandalwood's voice replied and Darren could feel the Eco-Kid giving him a thumbs-up.
Darren then hung up before releasing a sigh, "I can tell that you're teammates are quite unique from their voices perspective.'' Relia commented.
Lisesharte then got in front of him, "Is there anything you wanna say before our duel?'' she asked with a prideful look.
Darren looks at her with a blank look, "For a man like me... every day life is like a haunted house." he replied.
Everyone stares at him for his weird statement.
