Once again this chapter is also based off of White Knight by fujin of shadows.

Happy New Year, guys!

Also, I'm glad that everyone really likes Tenebris in the last chapter. I was almost certain that everyone would hate her. If anyone is wondering, her design is based on Lu's true form in Elsword.

Now, back to this crazy party.

Mission Four: Target Practice

Chifuyu's face gained an incredulous look as she and Maya looked at the specs for Ichika's IS in detail.

"This is what my brother was piloting!?" Chifuyu exclaimed.

Maya had a similar expression on her face as she looked over the IS's specs for the eighth time.

"Only one hundred shield points," Maya began. "No Absolute Defense System, and power rerouted for solely speed and offense."

Chifuyu scowled. "And the only weapons it has, are the bladed legs, and a revolver!"

"This isn't an IS, it's a spinning metal deathtrap with barely any offensive capabilities!" Maya finished for Chifuyu.

Chifuyu slammed her fists on the table in frustration, startling Maya. "Dammit! Tabane, Ichika, just what the hell were you two thinking when you made this thing!?

'Fucking bitch ass sun!' Ichika cursed in his head. 'Stop sending your light to my eye before I kick your plasmatic ass!'

Ichika frowned as Cecilia followed a few meters behind him. She wasn't following him because she wanted to. No, Ichika had requested her to, in order to rectify her skills as a sniper. He was not taking "No," for an answer.

"Why are we going to the academy's shooting range again?" Cecilia asked nervously.

"Because," Ichika began, for some reason, the sun was only in his eye. "Your sniping is so bad, I actually have to demand your presence against both our wills to improve it!"

Cecilia let out a pitiful groan as she followed. Her mind was still on the fight they had.

No, fight wasn't what it was, it was a one-sided curbstomp which Ichika didn't even take seriously. If anything, he'd been acting like the whole ordeal was just a waste of time, and the three minutes she had spent shooting at him with no results was just a grace period before he had enough.

It was a very...humbling experience to say the least. But even since that fight, she wanted to know more about him.

'One attack was all it took!' Cecilia screamed in her head. 'What kind of IS does he have!?'

As the two entered the shooting range, which was in the academy's IS arena, Ichika shoved something heavy into Cecilia's arms. Her eyes widened at the sight of a sniper rifle in her arms.

"I-Ichika," Cecilia said nervously. "What are you..."

"Do you know why you lost as badly as you did?" Ichika asked suddenly.

Cecilia frowned, thinking that he just wanted to taunt her because of her overwhelming defeat but she quickly pushed the thought to the back of her head. While he was rather rude, he didn't seem like the kind of person to rub his victories in the loser's face.

She was about to open her mouth when he interrupted her before she could say anything.

"I don't want to hear any excuses like 'my IS is more advanced than yours,' or 'that I'm more skilled than you.' That's obvious. I want you to reevaluate your performance and tell me what you did wrong." he told Cecilia while taking off the book bag over his shoulder and went through it.

Cecilia was at a loss for words for a moment before she began thinking of what was it she screwed up. Why did she lose as badly as she did? She didn't think she did anything wrong, in her eyes, she performed flawlessly. Even still, she wasn't able to land a scratch on him. And it kinda blew away her pride, which was what Ichika was secretly hoping for.

As he stopped looking through the bag, he turned to Cecilia, whose eyes met his.

Cecilia blushed slightly at his appearance, amidst all of the insults the two threw at each other, she never really appreciated the sight of his single peculiar eye. His overall handsome appearance, however, was enough to garner her attention, despite the eye patch and arm sling.

"Your answer?" Ichika asked in a surprisingly polite tone.

"Um...my ability to use my main weapon is still lacking?" she answered meekly and unsurely.

Ichika let out a disappointed sigh. "I'll just show you."

He took out a magazine filled with bullets out of the bag and tossed it to her. Cecilia fumbled with the magazine a bit before she got a good grip on it.

"Stand in the firing range and try to hit those targets on the head or the chest," he instructed as he pointed to five targets that had been set up already. "You can start when you're in position."

Cecilia just looked at the rifle and magazine in her hands in bewilderment. She didn't have the slightest idea on how to use them!

Ichika took notice of this. "Don't try this at home."

He took the rifle out of her hands and threw it up into the air, he then grabbed the magazine out of her hands and as the rifle came back down, he loaded it into the rifle with enough force to send it spiraling back up into the air. Ichika caught it as it came down holding it over his shoulder.

Cecilia had her jaw dropped, while it was an impressive display, she was slack-jawed over how utterly dangerous and stupid that stunt he just pulled was.

"Before I hand this back to you, tell me, who taught you how to use your IS and how much did they teach you?" Ichika asked.

"Um, when I became the Representative Candidate of England, the military only gave me lessons about basic hand-to-hand combat and how to use my IS properly," she answered.

Ichika raised an eyebrow. "That's it?"

Cecilia nodded. "Yes."

Now that was enough to make anyone face-fault.

Ichika clicked his tongue and sighed. "Well, at least I know your less than stellar performance wasn't completely your fault. Alright, here's what's going to go down. I'll be the one training you from now on. Get used to seeing my ugly mug for a good while."

He laid the loaded rifle on the floor and reached into his bag for something else; A pair of earmuffs and thick sunglasses.

"Put these on, I don't want you hurting yourself," he said.

Cecilia did as instructed, and Ichika handed her back the rifle.

"This is an outdoor shooting range, so the distance is about a thousand meters give or take. You're a long-range fighter, so hitting these targets should be easy for you." Ichka said as he positioned himself behind her. "I'm going to assume that you don't know how to fire this gun so bear with me here, I'm an arm and an eye in the grave after all."

Cecilia blushed as Ichika took her hand with his and helped her move the rifle into position. She noted to how warm and comforting his hand was.

"This is the proper way to hold a rifle, Cecilia," he said, still holding her arm. "This was what I was talking about during our fight. Now try to hit one of the targets in the head or chest."

She nodded and put on a determined look. She looked into the scope to get a view of her targets. Five cut-outs, human-shaped targets made out of metal we're prepared.

'How did he get this all set up so fast?' Cecilia thought. 'The match was only just yesterday!'

Cecilia shook away those thoughts and took a deep breath. Then she pulled the trigger.

BANG!

The rifle flew out of her hands as she felt as if her shoulder was about to be ripped off. She collapsed to her knees as she held her sore shoulder.

"I expected as much," Ichka said as he caught the rifle. He gave her an amused look before taking the rifle and aimed it at the targets with his single arm, not even looking through the scope. "We'll start with the basics."

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Cecilia stared at him in shock. Not only did he fire the rifle with one arm, he didn't even look the slightest bit affected by the recoil.

"I don't mean this as an insult, but you really need to know how to properly use your weapon, and I don't just mean your optical drones." Ichika lectured as he held the rifle over his shoulders. "I'll give it to you straight. You don't know how to handle your weapon correctly. Your aim is very bad, average at best. Your senses are bad, you're spending too much on the IS's hyper sensor and disregarding your own senses. Finally, you don't have any close combat ability, the moment anyone gets in close, you're screwed. You've got a lot to work on and more, but let's start with using this rifle right."

Ichika handed her a pair of binoculars.

"Tell me what you see," he ordered.

Cecilia took the binoculars and looked at the targets a thousand meters away from them. She nearly dropped the binoculars in shock. All of the targets had a bullet hole in their heads.

'He wasn't even looking through the scope!' Cecilia exclaimed in her head.

He set the rifle down and offered her a hand.

"Do you know what a kill range is?" he asked. "A killing range is the farthest range at which a hit is a certainty. A sniper's worth is determined by his or her killing range. You, as a sniper, you don't mean much considering you can't fire a simple sniper rifle."

The insult made Cecilia glare at him.

"That doesn't mean anything, if I have my IS, I can hit anything, no matter how far they are!" Cecilia exclaimed.

Ichika gave her a blank look. "Yet you couldn't hit me."

He took her hand and forced her to her feet.

"This is the problem with most pilots I meet." Ichika ranted in an irritated tone. "Sure you can use weapons installed in your IS, but that's it. Pilots like you depend too much on your IS in a fight. Tell me, could you properly fight without the PIC or the hyper sensor?"

Cecilia really wanted to say yes, but in reality, the answer was no. Without PIC, she doubted she would be even able to move Blue Tears much less lift Blue Pierce, and without the hyper sensors, she wouldn't even be able to aim properly.

'I'm beginning to see his point.' she thought.

"You see, you depend too much on the IS's advanced technology. The hyper sensors can't follow me because I move too fast for them to follow." Ichika began. "Then you start firing blindly out of frustration, which would get you killed in actual combat."

He reloaded the rifle the same dangerous way he did before. "First things first, I'm going to teach you how to use a sniper rifle before we move onto your IS's beam rifle."

Once again, Ichika positioned himself behind Cecilia and helped her adjust the rifle.

"When firing a gun, note these three things, the distance, the recoil of the gun, and the direction the wind blows," he said as he further helped Cecilia adjust the rifle, getting closer to her in the process. "This sniper rifle here has a range of one thousand three hundred meters, and your target is one thousand meters away. The wind is pretty good today, so don't worry about it."

Cecilia couldn't help but notice just how close Ichika was.

'I can feel his breath on my neck!' Cecilia thought, her face turning red. 'He's practically pressing his body against mine!'

"I want you to brace yourself," Ichika said. "Grip the rifle hard, and more importantly, get your head out of the gutter and focus on the target, don't think I didn't notice you blushing the whole damn time." he teased good-heartedly.

'Oh God, he noticed!' Cecilia panicked in her head.

She took a deep breath to calm herself down. Once she got herself under control, she pulled the trigger.

BANG!

The recoil of the gun pushed her back, but this time, the rifle didn't fly out of her hands. She was about to fall to the ground before Ichika grabbed her by the waist, holding her up.

"Not bad, you a least hit the target, even though you only hit the arm," Ichika commented, as Cecilia ignored him and nuzzled into his chest unconsciously. "Next time, make sure that your footing is firm. On another note, not bad for a beginner."

"Really?" Cecilia asked.

"Yeah, first time I shot a gun, I shot myself in the foot." his face gained a strained smile. "A certain red-coated bastard held that over me for years."

"You shot yourself in the foot!?" Cecilia exclaimed.

Ichika deadpanned. "Let's just say I sucked when I first started. I trained like hell to get where I am today."

'One does not simply train with the son of Sparda and not come out a badass.' Ichika thought.

"Okay, do it again, we're not leaving here until you're able to hit your targets in the chest or just below the head." Ichika instructed.

Cecilia gained a confused frown. "Why are you doing all of this?"

Ichika raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"

"I mean, why are you going through all of this trouble just to help me?"

"Well, you remind me a lot of your mother," Ichika said, Cecilia raised an eyebrow at that. "I absolutely despised her the first time we met."

"Ah." Cecilia sounded out nervously.

"I'll tell you this, your attitude towards me the first time we met was tame compared to hers," Ichika said blandly. "It was like she had a vendetta against me for being better than her at something and daring to be born with a Y-chromosome."

'Dammit, Mom, what the hell did you do!?' Cecilia internally shouted.

"You know that scar on her right arm that she got almost two years ago?" he asked.

Cecilia nodded. "Yeah, she never really talked about it."

"Well, here's the deal with that." Ichika began. "To put a long story short, she hired me for the sole purpose of, and I kid you not, one-upping me at my job. She had no idea what she got herself into, almost got herself killed, and I had to pull her ass out of the fire."

'That is the vaguest story I have ever heard.' she thought. 'Then again, Mother never really wanted to talk about it. Maybe she asked Ichika not to either.'

Ichika helped her adjust the rifle once more. "She was humbled quite a bit after that. She hired me a lot more throughout the years, sometimes as a bodyguard, and sometimes she hired me for...clean up."

Cecilia gained a confused look. "Clean up? Like a janitor?"

Ichika shrugged. "More like an exterminator."

"An exterminator? Exterminating what?"

"You'd have to ask your mother. Anyway, yeah, you remind me a lot of your mother, she's got her heart in the right place and you do too." Ichika gained a teasing smile. "Just try not to piss everyone off in a ten-mile radius."

Now normally, the blonde IS pilot would have responded violently to that remark, but since Ichika was still holding on to her, Cecilia could only pout because she did not want to leave his gentle grasp, which felt quite nice and pleasurable.

Cecilia gave an embarrassed groan. "Just shut up about my attitude already. I'm sorry okay, are you happy now!?"

Ichika grinned. "Moderately."

'She's going to be just as much fun to tease as Patty.' Ichika thought.

'Why is he always getting on my case because of that?' Cecilia inwardly muttered.

"Alright," Ichika said. "Let's keep shooting, I've got an entire bag full of ammo and a few backup targets."

Ichika and Cecilia flew through the air on both of their respective IS as instructed by Chifuyu.

"So, Cecilia, you got a lot better with your sniping yesterday." Ichika complemented.

Cecilia's face was rather red at the moment, not because of Ichika's compliment, but because of how...affectionate his AI, Tenebris, could be.

"She made out with him right in front of everyone!" She internally screamed.

It was the day after Ichika had started training Cecilia.

Ichika let out a loud yawn. He was not a morning person. Not in the slightest.

The fact that the academy's male IS uniform was particularly uncomfortable to him didn't help much either.

The male uniform for IS training was a skin-tight tank top that stopped covering up from the chest down and a pair of skin-tight pants that ended halfway down his calves.

His uniform did nothing to hide his lean but muscular body.

He was practically eye candy for all of the girls there. Didn't help that most of the girls were just staring at him with heavy blushes, and or nosebleeds. He felt like a prime strip of beef thrown to a pack of starving wolves.

But it wasn't like he could really complain, he had plenty of eye candy right in front of him. The girls IS training uniform was just as skin tight as his, and looked similar to a one-piece swimsuit, with leg stockings that reached to their thighs.

The uniforms did nothing to hide the girls' curvaceous bodies.

"Maybe, Luka was right," Ichika muttered under his breath. "My life is a dubbed anime."

"For today's lesson," his sister Chifuyu started, she and Maya were wearing tracksuits as well. "We're going to practice the basic controls of the IS. Orimura, Alcott, you're up first."

"Not a problem!" Cecilia exclaimed confidently, gaining the attention of the other students.

In a blue flash, Cecilia was now equipped with her IS, Blue Tears.

Ichika sighed. "I hope Tenebris won't be too pissed." he tapped the pendant around his neck. "Come on, Tenebris, up and at'em."

Like before, the voluptuous blue dressed Tenebris appeared behind Ichika, embracing him once again. But this time, she had a rather sleepy expression.

"Ichika," Tenebris sounded out in a very drowsy tone. "Why did you wake me up so early?"

Everyone, aside for Houki who glared daggers at Tenebris, was startled by her sudden appearance.

"Sorry, sorry," Ichika apologized as the demonic AI nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck. "We just have a short flight to do, then you can go back to sleep, okay?"

Chifuyu shook off her initial shock and walked up to Ichika and Tenebris.

"Ichika, who is this?" she asked.

Ichika scratched the back of his head as he sweat dropped at the sight of both Houki and Cecilia glaring at him and Tenebris.

'Well, they at least have a legitimate reason to glare at me now.' Ichika thought as he remembered kissing Tenebris right in front of Houki.

"To put a long story short, Tabane and I did something we really shouldn't have with Core 001, and Tenebris here was the result," Ichika explained.

This only furthered his sister's confusion. "What is she exactly?"

"In layman's terms, a fully sentient AI." he answered.

Chifuyu rubbed her temples, she was starting to get a headache. "Just...suit up and fly already."

"Fine, we'll fly, Ichika," Tenebris said. "But I want my good morning kiss first," she demanded seductively.

And just like that, the whole class had been silenced with those words.

"Fine," he sighed. "You're always so needy when I wake you up early."

Ichika overlooked the incredulous looks everyone sent him.

Tenebris cupped the side of his face and gave him a deep kiss, completely ignoring where she was performing such an intimate act. The kiss was far from innocent.

"EEEEEEEHHHHHHHH?!" every girl screamed out.

Maya, who was standing next to Chifuyu, fainted, as did a few other students. The rest had their faces lit up like a Christmas tree.

The only exceptions were Houki, Cecilia, and Chifuyu.

Houki and Cecilia, the latter blushing immensely, were now glaring at him and the sexy succubus to the point where holes could practically burn through the devil hunter's skin, while Chifuyu had a strained smile on her face as her eyebrow twitched at the sight.

After a few more seconds of lip-locking, the two were engulfed in a familiar dome of black and blue flames.

Needless to say, Cecilia was a bit jealous and rather hot under the collar.

"Ichika, how are you so skilled at using an IS?" Cecilia asked. She and her classmates noticed that despite Ichika's arm issue, it was surprising to see that his IS could move his right arm for him as if his arm had never been injured.

News about how Ichika could pilot an IS had spread only a few days before he was suddenly shipped off to the IS Academy. There was no possible way for him to get as good as he was with an IS in that time frame.

"You know Tabane Shinonono?" Ichika asked.

"Yeah, she's the one who created the IS," Cecilia replied.

"She's also a close friend to my family. For the past five or so years, I've been hanging out with her while my sister was...gone," he said as he trailed off at the end.

"Wait, you've been with the creator of IS for the past five years!?" Cecilia all but shouted. "How much do you know about the IS?"

"A lot more than anyone here in this place. I've helped Tabane build a few ISs in the past before we moved on to other projects."

Ichika deadpanned. 'Nero and I should have never introduced her to alchemy.' That memory sent some headaches to the poor, lone male pilot.

"Wow," Cecilia said in honest amazement.

[Orimura, Alcott!] Chifuyu's voice came from their IS's com system. [Execute a power dive and then come to a complete stop.]

"You got it," Ichika replied.

"Roger that," Cecilia said. "Well, ladies first."

Cecilia shot off to the ground and executed the landing perfectly. She even had a small, smug smile on her face.

"Alright, time to show off," Ichika said with a smug smile of his own.

With a loud boom, Ichika shot off to the ground at high speeds, become a streak of red and blue light.

"Royalgraud," Ichika muttered.

Unknown to anyone, Ichika's shield points shot up all the way from a mere hundred points, all the way to seven hundred.

Just as Ichika was about to crash into the ground, a few of his shield points disappeared as a small orb of energy appeared in front of him. He turned his thrusters off immediately as the orb crashed into the ground. The orb burst, sending a powerful, almost invisible stream of energy towards Ichika, completely stopping his downward momentum. Ichika pushed off the ground with his right arm, sending him into the air, he did a front flip as he landed.

"So, how'd I do?" Ichika asked.

Everyone gave Ichika a slack-jawed expression, but three random girls raised signs with 10's on them.

Ichika deactivated his IS and fist pumped.

"Yes!" he cheered. "I still got it!"

Chifuyu walked up to him with her patented stream expression.

"That was the most unnecessarily dangerous landing I've seen," she said. "Next time I ask you to do a maneuver in your IS, do something a bit more practical."

"I make no promises," Ichika stated with a smirk.

Ichika's smirk grew wider as his sister's eyes narrowed at him. Messing with his sister had become his new favorite pastime. God help her blood pressure.

"Orimura, congratulations on your inauguration as Class Rep.!" a girl yelled as they set off some party poppers.

It was dinner time, and Ichika decided to hang out with Houki instead of eating with his sister in awkward silence like they had for the week. He at least made sure he that he left Chifuyu with a good home cooked meal. He sat with both Houki and Cecilia beside him.

'Oh bobbily boo, I forgot about that!' Ichika mentally panicked. 'Well, silver lining, Tatenashi, will be glad I'm coming to student council meetings with her.'

"Thanks..." Ichika said blandly.

"Aren't you popular," Houki remarked sarcastically with a scowl.

"I did not ask for this, and you know it." he shot back. 'Great she's re-entered Stuck-Up-Bitch Mode.'

A sudden white flash blinded both Ichika and Houki.

"Hello there, I'm with the newspaper club." said a girl with brown hair and glasses.

The girl turned to Cecilia, who was standing to her left, as Ichika was blinking the spots out of his eye.

"Oh, Cecilia, if you don't mind, would you get into the picture too?" the girl asked.

"What?" Cecilia turned to Ichika with a small smile. "You mean, just the two of us?!"

The girl nodded. "You and your personal units are the center of attention, Ichika's especially! It'd look even better if you guys would shake hands or something."

Cecilia was smiling widely. "Oh, do you really think so? You will make sure that I'm sent copies of the pictures too, won't you?"

"No problem," the brown haired girl said. "Come on, stand up."

Ichika shook his head as he stood up with Cecilia.

'Dammit, all I wanted to do was hang out with Houki!' Ichika internally shouted. 'Was that too much to ask!?'

Chifuyu sighed as she put her cell phone up to her ear. After a few seconds of ringing, the person she called picked up.

[Chi-chan,] came Tabane's overly excited voice. [It's so good to hear from you again!]

Chifuyu winced at the loudness of Tabane's voice. "Calm down, Tabane, it's not a social call."

[Aw, I wanted to at least catch up with you after so long.]

"I need to know what happened to Ichika while I was gone." Chifuyu's voice was laced with a tone that promised pain if Tabane didn't give her what she wanted.

[Ikkun hasn't told you yet?] Tabane sounded genuinely surprised.

"No, he just gave me a vague story, and whenever I try to talk to him about it, he just glares at me."

[Yeah, that sounds like something he would do. He's usually rather mellow, but when he's anxious or nervous, he acts like that.]

"Why would he be nervous or anxious?" Chifuyu asked.

[Chi-chan, he's the only male in an all-girls school, a school he had no desire to enroll in, that and he's probably trying to find a way to break down about what happened to him in a way that doesn't seem insane to you.]

"What?"

[Even I thought it was insane at first.]

Chifuyu raised a slightly amused eyebrow. "You of all people thought someone was insane?"

[No need to tease me now Chi-chan,] Chifuyu could practically hear Tabane's pout from her side of the call. [You would too if you heard it from him.]

Chifuyu sighed. "Just tell me what happened to him already!"

Tabane was silent for a few seconds. [...I can't. He made me promise not to tell you.]

Chifuyu growled. "Of course he did."

[Don't worry, Chi-chan, I've got a hunch that Ikkun will have no choice but to tell you soon.] Tabane said in a tone that screamed 'I know something you don't.'

Chifuyu's eye narrowed. "What are you planning?"

[I'm not planning anything, but someone else is though.]

Chifuyu's eyes narrowed. "Phantom Task?"

Tabane gave a good-hearted laugh on the other side. [Chi-chan, in the last five years, I've found out that they're much bigger fish to fry.]

And just like that, Tabane hung up.

Chifuyu grit her teeth as she put her phone down. Her call only gave her more questions and not a single answer.

"Did you hear that the representative for Class 1-2 has been changed?" a random girl asked as she and a few other girls stood in front of Ichika's desk.

"Yeah," another answered. "Now it's that new transfer student, what's her face."

Ichika raised an eyebrow as he leaned into his seat. "A transfer student, at this time of the year?"

The girl nodded. "Yeah, supposedly she's from China."

Cecilia gave a rather smug look. "Hmph, I wonder if she transferred to study my techniques?"

'Your techniques were shit till I came around.' Ichika ranted in his head.

He wanted to say that out loud, he really did, but if Cecilia was anything like her mother, then it was more trouble than it was worth.

"Is the transfer student any good with her IS?" Ichika asked.

A blue-haired girl stepped forth. "The only classes with a student with a personal IS are classes 1 and 4, so we'll be fine."

"That information is outdated." came a voice from the class entrance. "As of now, the representative of Class 1-2 now has a personal IS as well. So it's not going to be as easy to win anymore."

Ichika turned his head and his eyes widened in recognition.

She was a rather petite girl with light brown hair tied into twin tails with yellow ribbons and green eyes. Her IS Academy uniform had the sleeves detached, showing her altered version of the uniform as a class representative. For some particular reason whenever she smiled, one of her fangs would be exposed.

"Rin?" Ichika called out as he stood up. "You still flat, short, and shit?"

And like that, all sound in the academy stopped.

Flames were all that could be seen, a never-ending inferno that would burn to ashes anything it came in contact with.

"That odor, I know it!" a demonic voice bellowed in the flames.

A dark figure stood up on two legs in the raging inferno, it's appearance was obscured by the flames, but one would know immediately, it was not human.

"It's the stench of treachery and betrayal."

The flames raged even further as if responding to the being's anger.

"SPAAAAAAARDAAAAAAA!"
