Let's begin. It kinda annoyed me to do this every time but I guess it can't be helped.

(Saito P.O.V)

"Hiraga-kun, please put this there, oh and you, can you get this," the one who giving instruction right now is Sakaki Chizuru our class rep. what did she instruct for, well let just say the preparation for school festival is not really easy as all of my classmate working hard right now with an exception of Tabane who are absent right now. Even Chifuyu is working together with other though their still wary getting near to her. Even though people scare with her she still popular in the school as you could see that she really a beauty. if she open up a little she could easily become the most popular girl in the school. The same could be said for Tabane but I guess it was hard for both of them, how should I put it, the term normal doesn't really go well with them.

"what are you doing there, if you have the time for dreaming that you have the time to move your." Sigh… she really look like a slave driver right now. But I guess it can be help as we currently behind schedule. I guess I must thank gandalfr right now as it gives me extra boost for work. I ask derf once why did suddenly I can do something like this. He told me that look like the power of gandalfr evolve further than the original. He say that it might get stronger from time to time. Though he said that only what he think so he can't guaranteed anything.

And so the week past as all of us busy with the preparation.

'pant' 'pant' 'pant'

"We still have time let do it again" huh… she still have more energy? I was on the verge of collapse and she still want to continued, in case anyone wondering currently we are in her dojo training. She said that she want to train me seeing how I lack it.

I asked Tabane before about how I able to dodge Chifuyu attack without me activate gandalfr. At first I though that she wasn't really serious on hitting me but Tabane confirmed that Chifuyu really went for the kill that time, urgh… can she hold back once a while, at this rate I don't think I'll survive till new year. Back to Tabane explanation she say that as I continued using gandalfr my body remember it. Think of it as experience in a game. The more you fight the more experience you gain. That how it work, so in other word the more I use gandalfr the more use my body get use to it. I don't really understand what she said but I guess as long it doesn't harm me it okay I think.

"hyah…" wa- 'swoosh' damn that was close if I late even by a second i probably get slice by two already.

"heyheyhey…. Isn't this just a training, you don't need to get serious like that." I feel the need to reprimand her a little before I would really lose my life. Normally any sane person would already get away from her as far as possible, if you wonder why I still stick with her, I don't know, maybe it because I already use to almost getting killed on daily basis, not something good at getting used to.

"one need to be serious even in training, but I know that you'll be able to dodge it." I knew she said something like that. Though I don't know whether to feel happy or scare when she said it like that. On the other hand that mean she confident with my skill and other mean I would need to watch for my life more often during training. Where that Ichika when you need him, she doesn't get to serious when he with us, come to think of it Tsunami also gone this morning does that mean, no wait, wait, wait, I think she said about going out with Tabane sister or something. It good that they got along. I guess I was being paranoid, there no way Ichika with them right now he ,ust have something else to do, yep th- whoa… I duck as Chifuyu swung her sword at me. Guess I don't have time to think of anything else. Her I go….

"Oooooooohhhhhhhh….." with battle battle cry I charge at her.

On the other part of the city.

(Ichika P.O.V)

"achoo!" wonder what wrong with me, did I catch a cold or something, nah I feel really fine right now.

"what wrong Ichika" the person who ask me is houki.

"no, nothing" I replied to her.

"if you catch a cold maybe you can tried this, it will prevent you from getting a cold." And this time it was Tsunami who talking as she bring out something that look like a sunglasses, what the heck how did that thing going to prevent a cure, oh and shouldn't it be cure instead to prevent. If already have a cold what use is that thing anyway. Though I keep this to myself as I don't feel appropriate to said it out loud instead I just said.

"No it fine."

"if you said so" she put back the item to her back.

"hmph… are you stupid or something there no way that thing could work." Wha- houki isn't that a bit harsh though I feel like agreeing with her.

"wha- what of course it will work this time." Yep as you guess she already created several bizarre thing that I don't know how to describe it and it all end in a failure there was one time that her invention almost burn the entire house and ever since then her brother forbid her for doing any experiment unsupervised.

"Hey, Houki how long till we get there?" I'll try to change the topic before it got escalated even further. You never know what will happen with this two.

"We almost there. Just a little more" houki answered me. In case anyone wondering where were going, there was a tournament that will be held by a Muroe high school. It welcome any other participant to enter, it never mention the age restriction it just said that they must be student. I just hope that they allowed us to enter. Houki got wind of this before so then she asks me to enter with her than Tsunami overheard our talk and she insisted on coming along. That what lead us to this Situation.

"Hey is it really okay, I mean those are junior high in case you forget, can you really win." Tsunami spoke up. I see what she meant, most of the people there probably bigger thatn us so it will be hard to fight them though I feel like testing my abilities. After seeing the fight Chifuyu-nee had with Saito-san I feel like testing just how god I am at kendo. I want strength in order to protect people who are important to me.

"It fine, age doesn't mean anything in kendo." I got to disagree with you Houki, not everyone is a talented like you. Though I guess she if ignore me so I just keep this to myself.

"Were here" Houki spoke as we arrive at the our destination. People are looking at us, they must be wonder why a kid will come to this school. "let's go" after she said that we both follow her.

XXXXXX

"Ne, Houki"

….

….

"Ne, houki"

"WHAT" wah she snapped,.

"Do you really know where to go?" Tsunami asked her.

"Of course I know"

"then how come we haven't arrive yet. If I'm not mistaken well pass this way a dozen times already."

"It just your imagination." She replied back.

"Houki, how should I said it, you should just admit that you don't know the way." I told her this. One must always admit the mistake or else it will lead to a bigger mistake that what I learn anyway.

"guuhh… fine were lost." She admitted it.

"good then we sho-" before I finish talking.

"now it the time for my 'place detector'" tsunami spoke while bringing out something that look like a magnet.

"Put it back, we don't have time for this." I strictly told her. Just what the heck is that, I'm pretty sure that it wont work, I mean how the heck it will know where we'll headed anyway.

"awwww….." she pouted but complied as she put it back in her bag.

"Now then…" I take a look around and then I notice a girl about our age nearby. Normally one would go to the adult when they lost but for some reason I called out to her. "excuse me! Miss" she turned her head at our direction.

"Yes…" hmm…

"were kinda lost here, do you know the way to the kendo club."

"Ah! I was about to go there to." Oh what a coincidence, maybe we wont get lost now.

"Then if you don't mind maybe we should go together." She nod at my request. But why did I feel that someone was glaring at me. When I take a look behind sure enough both Tsunami and Houki was glaring at me.

"What with you two?"

"hmph… nothing"

"Nope, nothing wrong"

Though they said that, they tone said otherwise. Maybe I should leave them alone about it. If a girl doesn't want you to know something than you shouldn't pry about it.

"Ok then, my name Ichika, Orimura Ichika, the girl with a ponytail is Shinonono Houki, and the one is Hiraga Tsunami." I introduce our group to her. Look like they still have the courtesy to bow upon being introduce.

"I'm Ura Sakaki" oh so her name is Ura Sakaki. "Follow me" we follow her as she takes the lead.

XXXXXX

"…."

"…."

"…."

"ura-san…" I spoke.

"What is it?"

"Do you really know where the place is." The reason I ask her this is because we are currently back to the place where we met her.

"Of course not, this is my first time here" I almost facefaulted at her answer.

"THEN WHY DID YOU ACT AS IF YOU KNOW WHERE IT IS" it normal for me to shout right.

"My mother always tell me to help people in need, so I help you by getting you to the place." I think her mother forget the 'if possible' part. Sigh… that mean were lost for a second time.

"Like I told you we should just use my 'place detector'" Tsunami decide to speak up at this.

"all right I give up, Tsunami please." I guess I must be crazy to relied on Tsunami invention but I guess when one get desperate they will do anything.

"ok, then this way," she said happily as she led us to whenever that thing point at.

"is this really okay ichika" houki spoke.

"Who know, it not like we could do anything now." Maybe if there was someone but there was no one in our vicinity right now. Maybe well find someone else that could help as we walk.

XXXXX

Just as expected, she led us to a faculty room of all place, well I guess it not to bad, maybe we can ask one of the teacher about it.

"See… I told you it useless." Houki nod as she said this. I mean it impossible to find a place using that thing. If it was something like a GPS maybe it possible"

"uuuuu….. I was certain it will work too…. Maybe I should ask Nii-san about magic" here is one of the thing she always talk about. She insist that magic exist and her brother know it. I already confront Saito-san about it and he said to just ignore her about it.

"There no way magic exist, don't talk nonsense." Houki scold her.

"guh… I'll prove to you guy someday." She said with a determination on her face. Wonder if she'll succeed

"Hey, you kid, what are you doing here." An adult voice can be heard and when I look up there is a male teacher there looking at us.

"ano… were kinda lost, do you know where the kendo club is?" if anyone should know the place the teacher should.

"Oh… did you guy want to enter the tournament."

Me, Houki and Ura-san nod at his question.

"I'm just here to watch" Tsunami answered his question.

"Aren't you're a bit to young, but I guess if youre really want to enter follow, I am the supervisor of the club Ishida Toraji but you can call me Kojirou." What a coincidence again but this time we won't get lost since this teacher is the supervisor of the club so there no way he don't know where the place is.

(Saito P.O.V)

Phew…. That was tiring. I currently in the main room of Orimura house while she serve me some drink and food. Can you believe it, the devil Orimura Chifuyu just serve a food to someone else, I guess I'll be really happy if not for the hellish training I went through just now.

"So, what is it that you want to talk about?" I ask her the reason she ask me to stay.

"I forgot to mention but today id the day."

"What day?" I feel a little curious about it.

'BAM' the sound of door open loudly can be heard

"ohayoo~ Chii-chan." And came one ShinononoTabane with her usual antique. By the way isn't past afternoon already.

"Sai-kun here to perfect, follow me" wah- why the heck did she grab my hand and drag me away. Is there someplace that she want me to go?Chifuyu just shake her head while following us. It seems that she know where well be going I shold ask her after I escape from Tabane clutch that is. You now for a scientist she really strong. Maybe there's a secret to it.

"Alright they almost here" hm? What is this 'almost here' is. As I ponder about it I heard a sound from a far it looks like a helicopter sound.

Wait! Isn't that a helicopter, what the heck did it stop above us. Just when I think of this a ladder come from it. Maybe it want us to climb it.

"now let go" I decide to just go with the flow and climb up the ladder. I'm learn that it useless to be shock with whatever the heck Tabane doing that way it will be easier for my health.

XXXXX

Half an hour later.

We arrive at the building not to far from there.

As we enter the building I decide to ask what the heck happened.

"So why are we here?"

"Tabane need a data from IS so she want to gather the data from White Kni8ght and Black Knight." So she want to collect data huh…. Why the need to go to this kind of place?

"just how did she gather the data." On my mind I was imagine something like scanning or something.

"we'll fight each other." Chifuyu answer my question.

Ah… I see so we need to fight each oth- WAIT! WHAT!

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO FIGHT." I raise my voice a little. Why did I have to fight again. I think the amount of fight in earth is more than what I usually go trough in Halkeginia. If I take a guess in a week 4 of it is the fight I have with chifuyu over a misunderstanding.

"what the need to shout for, of course we need to fight if she want to collect the IS combat capabilities, also I'm curious just how good you are with IS" she spoke with a happy face on her. don't talk like that as if you just receive the best present. Do you know how scary it is for me to face you in a battle everytime. Most of it just me trying to escape from dying.

Well ignoring my complain above, I'm a little curious about the Black Knight. We didn't got a chance to test it before. I rather not use it at all than to fight with Chifuyu. Let just hope that I could count on this absolute defense barrier. From what I know it will protect me from fatal attack to prevent me from dying.

As I ponder about this we seem to have arrive at whatever it is this place is. When I enter I notice that it was some kind of control room or something. And inside there is Tabane and a man that I don't know of.

"Ah! Chi-chan, Sai-kun this way." Tabane shout after she notice us while waving her hand.

The man just staring at me as if sizing me up.

"Tabane who is this person."Chifuyu spoke like someone speaking about a business.

"Ah… forgive me for not introduce myself my name is HigaTakeru, I was sent by the government to observe the project. Please don't mind me."

"Oh! So the government already taking this seriously, what happened to the arrogant attitude before." Oi… Chifuyu why did you try to rile up this guy.

"ah… about that, the government had taken notice about this project development though I'm here to only to observe. Though I'm rather surprise when I heard about a male who are able to pilot the IS, so you must be the one." He look at me while saying that.

"!"

As if understanding my panic face he spoke, "don't worry, we wont do any experiment on you or anyrhing, in fact it better if this is kept secret to the world. Though the IS still hasn't taken seriously it better if we take earlier precaution. Who know what will happen in the future." So that mean that I don't need to worry about people know about me. if for any chance someone curious about me and somehow manage to learn about the existence of the other world who know what will happen. Although I really want to return there but for some reason there was some kind of war hunger person out there and they want to invade Halkeginia, to be honest I don't think Halkeginia can stand a chance again technology from this world. After all one rocket launcher from world war II is enough to defeat a triangle class golem, who know what would happen if they use a nuke.

"who else know about me?" I ask him.

"only the higher up know about it, your information need a clearance level 5 or above so not much people can access it." I don't really understand what he said but from the look of it not many people know about it yet.

"enough talk! let's start already." Tabane seem impatient already. "Chi-chan, Sai-kun I install new feature in your IS." Huh when did she- "why don't you two try activating it right now."

I decide to do like she told, I glance at Chifuyu. She already in her IS while I still trying to figure out how to activate it.

"hm… how do I do it?" honestly I'm really lost right now. At that time it was simply me touching it but this time I don't know how to bring it out of the standby mode.

"Partner, leave it to me." I heard derf talking. After that I can feel my gandalfr rune and the ring shining and the next thing I notice is a already in the IS Black knight.

"Interesting, so this is the artificial intelligence I heard about, it act as if it alive." That higa guy seem to be curious by derf. Look like Tabane just report derf as an artificial Inteligence AI for short. It goof that she kept magic a secret, it not something that should be talk openly. I had to reprimand Tsunami not to talk about it openly but it look like she already talk to Ichika and Tabane sister houki I think her name is.

"What with this helmet?" I notice the change that happened to us is we currently wearing some kind of helmet wit a visor on it.

"That for hiding your identity, we can have anyone else seeing your face and or learn Sai-kun gender." Tabane told me that. I see, if I wear this as long I don't speak people wouldn't know that I am a male. "Furthermore it also act as a hyper-sensor for you." She told the way most of this is aim at me as I can see that Chifuyu already know all about it.

"Alright then this way" Higa-san said to both of us. We arrive at a spacious kind of room it look big enough, for me to move around freely. From a far I can see a mirror that show the control room from before and there was that Higa guy and Tabane in there.

"hellohello~ can you hear me, all right I want you both to go all out there no need to hold back this place can endure even a nuclear attack so you can go as wild as you want." Tabane voice can be heard from the light speaker.

Eh? What did she mean all out. When I take a look at Chifuyu she already brought out her broadswoard and swinging it around as if testing the weapon.

"what are you waiting for, bring out you weapon" look like we really is fighting each other. Wonder if I can get out of this alive. Ah… screw it, I already survive many time before and this will be just a new one.

I brought my hand forward and then derflinger appear. I held the bigger version of derflinger in my hand. "oi derf, are you in there." I want to confirm first whether derf in there or not.

"I'm here." That confirm it. "it seem whenever you bring out the sword I can feel my soul in it but when you put it back I feel as if I'm being one with the IS." So it was complicate situation for him also. Well we got time to get use to it.

'clang' whoa- that was close, Chifuyu charge at me with her broadswoard but I managed to block it.

"oi… can you at least give me a warning before you attack" honestly, no wonder everyone else keep a distance from her, they would not survive a day if she is like this.

"you need to focus, your enemy won't wait till you ready Saito" now I'm the one being lecture to. Oh well no point thinking anything else, let see what it can do.

"I move backward keeping my distance with her, while I try to look at any kind of weapon.

'BOOM' that was close, if I hadn't move I will be shot by that particle gun she hold. Look like she can do range attack beside melee. From the look of it, it need to be recharged before being able to use it again, so I was safe for the time being. Let see what other thing this IS of mine has.

"! WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT… how come I don't have any range weapon" I decide to shout at those two who are currently watching this.

"Eh! Didn't you read the manual I give you?" Manual? What manual I didn't receive anything like that. "I'll put it in your room, surely you can't miss it." So she put it in my room, didn't she know that was against the law to break in other people house. "I put it together with your ecchi book collection, you should find it if your check there" I see… no wonder I didn't find i- WAIT A SEC HOW DID SHE KNOW WHERE I KEEP THOSE BOOK, now that she mention it I haven't check it for a while now, I've been busy this last few days.

"S-A-I-T-O" 'gulp' I can feel it the murderous aura behind that mask.

"Wait, Chifuyu! It a misunderstanding, no what I mean to say is, it normal for a healthy high School boy like me to have those thing so-"GAAAHHHH….." she charged at me with a supersonic speed and swung her broadswoard at me. The attack hit me and send me flying to the wall. I can feel it at that time that absolute barrier activate. Damn If not for those I'll be dead already, I guess I should thank Tabane for creating this thing then again she the reason that I was in this situation right now. When I look up I can see Chifuyu already finish charging her gun and then fire. My energy already low at least 120 of it remaining, her attack really strong to be able to bring down my shield energy from 600 to 120 in one strike.

Instinctively I raise derf in my hand and then the attack hit derf but the explosion that should be companied with it didn't happen instead the attack seem to be absorb by derf. As the particle beam being absorbed I notice that my energy level increased. After it finish absorb my energy currently is 480. From this I managed to deduce derf ability. He can absorbed other attack and turn it into energy.

"oh…. Look like that sword can absorb energy" it good that she doesn't give a feeling as if wanting to kill me like before. Look like derf ability managed to bring her out from her anger. I still don't know why she so angry in the first place.

"hey derf, did you feel anything when you absorb those attack." I ask derf about this.

"I feel like I just absorb magic but instead of contain inside me it transfer to your IS." So derf absorb ability is still there maybe I could try that. i don't know why, when I think of getting near her my body moving on it own and then I was moving at her so fast that she didn't have the time to block it as my sword hitting her sending her flying but it look like she manage to gain her ground before crashing.

"Ignition Boost! What a surprise to think youll be able to use it perfectly. I guess It because of that." her guess is correct whatever it is this ignition boost is I managed to do it because of my gandalfr rune. Since it give me complete mastery over weapon I could probably use any complex move that this IS could. From the info I got, Ignition Boost reaquire energy to use it but when I take a look at my energy it seem to increase.

"Chifuyu, can you see what happened to your energy." I want o confirm something about Black Knight ability.

"why? Ok let see… Ehh….. imposiible that attack just now shouldn't be able to make it decrease this much" I guess that confirmed it. "unless that sword, it must absorb my energy when it hit me." I managed to acertainderf abilities more .it look like it can absorb the energy from the other IS just by hitting it.

There is another thing I would like to try, "derf change form to a katana"I order derf.

"alright partner." As he said this his form changing to a version of katana but this time it bigger. Let go. I immediately activate ignition boost to get near her.

(Higa P.O.V)

Hmm… this is really interesting. From the look of it the IS could be said the strongest weapon In the world. Though the other country may not accept it as they may think that they weapon is much more superior. One wonder just how this high school girl managed to do all the basic of IS and practical design all by herself. She truly a genius Shinonono Tabane. I doubt that there will be anyone else who are able to replicate this technology..

This evaluation is more for the the Black knight as it abilities still remain mysteries. From what I see the black knight focus on more on meelee and it has no range attack. It is suited for a long term battle as it is able to absorb enrgy and turn it as it own. The longer the battle the higher the rate for it to win so if one were to fight this IS they need to finish it as fast as possible unless they also posses abilities to increase their energy. The sword is interesting because it can change shape. If I don't know any better the IS already reach the forth stage already. The white knight is different from Black knight, it has superior abilities in melee and range attack. At close range it braodswoard can go through nay defend shield and in range the particle gun can take oyt mostly anything.

When I see the fight between this two it was really amazing they move at the speed that hard to trace. From my point of view it as if the two light just clashing with each other.

Though it still surprise me that there is a male that are able to pilot it. Is it because Shinonono-san make it so that he could pilot it ir is is another reason. When we heard that there a male able to pilot it we tried to use another male but it does not react at all. There is something special about this Hiraga Saito, maybe it has to do with his disappearance for one year. From the report this guy just seemingly vanish without a trace and then reappeared back a year later. Wonder where he go during that time.

(Saito P.O.V)

My fight with Chifuyu continued. Knowing her she must be having fun right now. I shouldn't say it because right now I'm also having a blast. It every man dreams to be able to fly freely like this so I enjoyed every minute of it. Chifuyu seem to increase her attack aggressively. Must be because her energy is decreasing faster because of my abilities. If this continued her enrgy will be depleted and the fight will be over.

I see her bringing out her particle gun and then charging something that look like a plasma ball and fire it at me. I held derf in order to absorb it but then I noticed that she already moving at supersonic speed to circle beside me. so her plan is while I'm focused to absorb the attack she will strike me while I'm vulnerable.

That plan may work if derf is still in blade form but in Katana form it has a new ability. The plasma ball make contact with derf but instead of being absorb it just floating there. I then swung derf to her direction and the plasma ball follow and then it launched back at her.

'BOOM'

Yosh direct hit, she must have dpleted all of her energy from the attack.

"!" gah… appear from the smoke is Chifuyu unharmed from the attack and managed to hit me while I'm unprepared causing me to stumble backward a little. How did she survive the attack, I though I had her at that time.

"that was a surprise, to think that it can also redirect energy , look like the Black knight had an impressive power on defensive rather than offense." Now that she mention it most of my abilities depend on the enemy attack in order to use it. But I doubt there all to it. I decide to check for any other function that could be use.

"this getting better and better." Don't say it with a a smile like that. you could make a real sadist cry.

A moment later.

'pant' 'pant' 'pant' the fight finish. As usual the winner is Chifuyu. "Chifuyu, shouldn't you at least hold back a little, I haven't even managed to grasp what this thing good at. Considering that I havent seen yet the manual that Tabane give me I still don't have full grasp on how to use this machine fully. All I have is this rune to guide me through the battle. Even that ignition boost is because I want to get near her and the rune answer by using the move. Speaking of which how did Tabane manage to find where I kept those book, even my family doesn't know where I kept it. Look like I need to find somewhere else to hide it.

"yaa… yaa… that was good Chii-chan, come and give me hug." Tabane came and as usual try to hug Chifuyu but was stop again by her iron claw.

"gah… Tabane! I don't feel like dealing with you so pleas e stop." Chifuyu said with an irritated tone.

"mou… if you don't want then…" I have a bad feeling about this as I can see that Tabane has her eye on me now. Fortunately just before she managed to lunge at me Chifuyu manage to hold he collar before thus preventing her from hugging me, though I don't really mind being able to feel those breast aga- nonono, I shouldn't think like that.

"Stop it Tabane, and Saito why did you have a perverted look on your face. You must be thinking something lewd just now" Wah! Did she notice? I decide to act casual.

"what are you talking about?" I make a poker face hoping that she buy it.

"Nyaaa…. Chi-chan, don't tell me youre jealous. Don't worry, I don't mind threesome." I can feel my face blushing right now at those word. And Chifuyu must feel the same right now. My mind automatically thinking on how it feel like to have a threesome with- nonono…. Bad thought, go away shoo…. Shoo….

"pfft…" wait! Did that Higa guy just laugh. How could he at a situation like this. "ah sorry about that, but there still think that need to be done.

After he said that the mood changes to a business one as they give me summaries about function of IS and everything. Sigh… this will be a long day, not to mention that tomorrow will be the start of the school festival.

This is a short one I guess. Maybe I rewrite this next time to make it longer but I guess this should do it.

I feel as if this chapter aren't the best so please forgive me for any mistake I make here. I'm kinda in a rush while writing this because I have an exam coming up so I don't think I will be writing much. The earlier I'll update the next chapter is probably at early may. I haven't reveal the all of Black knight abilities yet, I still thinking on what to do. I don't know if the first generation IS has one off abilities or not but I guess they don't have so Black knight will not have a one off abilities.

Also, please forgive me for a lame fight, because it really hard to write a battle between IS. I still have trouble writing normal fight and this is really hard for me to think of what word need to be use since English is not my native language.

In case anyone doesn't know the character that appear with Ichika there are the character from Bamboo blade. While Higa Takeru is a cameo from a famous light novel sword art online. If anyone know accel world they should know this series to.

by the way I just add a new poll for this story. it about whether i should make an harem for Saito in this story or not.

Anyway please read and leave you review. It help me getting a new chapter faster.
