Hey guys! I'm back with next chapter of Arms of a Warrior. Also, I can't stress this enough, review! Seriously, I REALLY can't stress that enough. Anyway, I hope you enjoy.
(Milo's Home)
Milo lived in a small house. Well, actually, it was an apartment over a video game store. Milo enjoyed this as he didn't have to go far to get video games. Milo entered with a tired expression on his face.
"Hey, Milo." A girl who was sitting on the couch said. She was a petite black-haired girl who was wearing a gothic lolita outfit. She had her hair tied in a loose ponytail. She had a stoic, non-emotional face.
"Hey, Lilith." Milo greeted her back.
"So, how was your first day of school?" Lilith asked with interest.
"It was okay, sort of." Milo said as he put his bag down and sat down on the couch next to Lilith.
"Sort of?" She asked with a slight tilt of her head.
"Got challenged to some duel. I won, though. It wasn't much of a challenge." Milo said nonchalantly. They sat in silence for a few minutes. Then Lilith finally broke the silence.
"What's for dinner?"
(The Next Morning)
Milo woke up to the sound of his alarm clock. The sunlight glared through his window. Milo groaned as he realized he had to face another day of school. He tried to get up, but found that he couldn't get up. He sighed and looked to his right and found that Lilith was sleeping next to him, holding him tightly.
"Oh, for the love of…" Milo muttered then shook Lilith awake.
"Lilith, I told you to sleep in your own room." Milo said with a slightly annoyed look on his face. Lilith just snuggled into his chest. She looked at him with a sleepy, stoic face.
"I don't like sleeping by myself. I feel scared." Lilith said. A tick mark appeared on Milo's face.
'You're a copy of a God! What do you have to fear?!" He shouted in his thoughts. Milo sighed for a second time, knowing that he could not get Lilith to change her mind.
"Okay, well let's get up then." Milo said as he tried to get up, but was, yet again, pulled back down onto the bed.
"One more hour." she mumbled sleepily.
"Lilith, I've got to get ready for school." Milo insisted. Lilith ignored him and continued snuggling. Then an idea popped in Milo's head.
"Lilith, if you get up now I'll make those waffles you like." Milo said. Lilith immediately got up and walked out of the room.
"Work's every time." Milo said with a sly grin.
(Kuoh Academy)
Milo walked onto the school grounds.
'Another day in hell.' he thought to himself.
"Hey! Ackermann!" a familiar voice called out. Milo groaned as he turned around to face the source of the voice. There was Miu with her hands on her hips.
"What do you want now? Another rematch?" Milo asked, putting his hands in his pockets.
"No, nothing of that kind." Miu said as she walked up to him.
"Then what do you want?" Milo questioned, curious about the girl's attention.
"Meet me in the Kendo Club Dojo after school." She said. Milo raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"What for?" Milo asked. Miu sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Just come." She walked past him. Milo watched her as she walked away.
(2nd-Year Classroom)
Milo took a seat next to his desk. Miu's request was still on his mind.
'Just what does she want?' he thought to himself. Just then a figure stood in front of him. He had bright brown hair and wore the boys' uniform. Milo instantly recognized.
"'Sup, Ackermann." The teen said with a smile.
"Oh yeah, I remember you from yesterday." Milo said.
"Yeah. I'm glad you didn't take my warning, though." The teen said as he took the chair from the desk in front of Milo's, turned it around and sat down.
"I'm JK. 'Pronounced Jake'." The teen introduced himself.
"Why pronounced 'Jake'?" Milo asked. JK just shrugged.
"So, I've heard you beat the Kendo Club President." JK said with interest. Milo nodded.
"Nice job! Nobody's ever beaten her before. In fact, the 2nd-strongest in the kendo club can't even beat her. Yet, you're the only to ever beat her before. So how'd you do it?" JK asked.
"Oh, well the basic idea was I let her attack me first. That way, she would wear herself out. Then, I went on the offensive. I knocked her sword out of her hand. Simple as that." Milo explained.
"Awesome…" JK said with stars in eyes as Milo recounted his battle. Just then the bell rang and class began.
(After School)
"Alright, I'm here. What the hell do ya want me for?" Milo asked as he entered the Kendo Club Dojo. The entire club was gathered. Miu was standing before them.
"Good. You're here." Miu said. "Come here." She pointed next to her. Milo complied and walked up.
"Okay, now what?" Milo questioned. Miu didn't answer and instead faced her club members.
"Everyone, I making an announcement." Miu said, pausing after that to let her club members wonder what she was going to say.
"I'm stepping down as club president." she said after a pause of two minutes. Everyone gasped. Club members who drinking did spitakes and drenched others. "But don't worry, I'm appointing somebody else as president."
'Why do I get the feeling that I know who she's going to choose?' Milo thought to himself.
"I'm appointing Milo Ackermann as the new club president." Miu said. All eyes then fell on Milo.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on just a minute!" Milo said. "I'm flattered Miu, really, but I'm not the best choice for a leader."
Miu just blinked. Milo continued.
"I'm strong, yes, but I have no qualities of a leader."
"You would really decline a position like this?" Miu asked curiously.
"Well, yeah." Milo said. A long silence passed. The club members looked between Milo and then and Miu.
"You're a really strange guy, you know that?" Miu said.
"Yeah, I get that a lot." Milo said.
"Very well, then. I accept your answer." Miu responded.
"Okay. Well, see ya!" Milo said as he left the dojo.
(On the way home)
Milo walked down the sidewalk back to his apartment. Suddenly, he felt goosebumps all over his body. He turned and looked around.
'Someone's following me.' Milo thought in his head. Suddenly, he felt himself being pulled into an alley and slammed into the wall. The executor was none other than Miu.
"Oh, great. What do you want this time, Ougan?" Milo asked annoyed.
"What are you?" Miu asked. Milo raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Milo said.
"I know you're not human." Miu replied. Milo chuckled in response, as if he was passing this off as a ludicrous accusation.
"And when did you come to such an answer?" Milo asked.
"Your energy signature is different from regular people and it's similar to mine." Miu said.
"And what exactly are you?" Milo asked.
"That's for me to know, and for you to find out. I'll ask again, what are you?" Miu asked again.
"I can't tell you. How will I know you're not going to hurt me?" Milo noted. Miu sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Fine. I promise that if you tell me what you are, I will not hurt you." Miu said.
"Swear it on the River Styx."
"Excuse me?" Miu asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Swear it on the River Styx." Milo repeated.
"Why?"
"Otherwise I won't give you any answers." Milo added. Miu groaned in annoyance. She didn't understand why he asked to do this but she wanted answers so she decided to comply with his request.
"Alright. I swear on the River-whatever-"
"River Styx." Milo corrected. "Spelled S-T-Y-X but pronounced 'sticks'."
"I swear on the River Styx that if you tell me what you are, I will not hurt you." Miu said. Milo chuckled again.
"You didn't have to repeat it all over again. All you had to say was 'I swear it on the River Styx'." Milo said. Miu face-palmed with frustration.
"Stop beating around the bush! Just tell me what you are already!" Miu shouted.
"Okay. Okay. But first you have to tell me what you are." Milo said. Miu's face turned completely red and a tick mark formed on her forehead.
"Just humor me, please." Milo added. Miu took a deep breath as the red in her face subsided.
"Fine. I'm a demigod." Miu announced.
"Really, now? Alright then, who's your godly parent?" Milo questioned, his curiosity peaking.
"My mother is the goddess Freya." Miu said proudly.
"Never heard of her." Milo said cluelessly. Miu face faulted.
"She's a Norse goddess." Miu said.
"Oh well that explains it. I've never known much about Norse mythology." Milo said.
"Alright, I've held up my end. Now it's your turn." Miu said.
"Okay then." Milo cleared his throat. "Like you, I am a demigod."
Miu widened her eyes in her astonishment.
"And my godly-parent is…"
Cliffhanger! HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah so Milo and Miu are demigods. Miu has been revealed to be the daughter of the Norse goddess Freya just google who she is if you don't know). Milo's godly parent will be revealed later on. So anyway, that's a wrap! See you next chapter.
