Chapter 10 From Edenborough to Death City! The White Council Has Another Inspection?
The next two days, the Ishidas have been training with Spirit and Justin Law while Harry took a few pointers from Kid, since he dual weilds himself. Harry managed to shoot a few canswhile Kyosuke managed to get the blades out of his right arm while Ryonosuke got them out of his shoulders.
"Not bad for a first try, you two still need to focus." Spirit said.
The both of them sighed.
"How can we focus when you two can make your blades come out flawlessly?" Ryonosuke asked as his axes disappeared and Kyosuke put his back as well.
"Good question, even Justin's blades are more flawless than mine." Spirit said as he scratched his head.
"Excuse us, can we offer some wizardly advice?" they heard an old man say and they turned to see the Wardens and one of the senior members of the White Council.
"Welcome back White Council." Both brothers and Spirit said.
Harry was practicing his shooting when he heard, "Not bad Tex!"
He saw Ebeneiser, Luccio, Listens to Wind, and Ramirez standing on the field with Spirit, Justin, who was still rocking out to his music, and the Ishida brothers.
"White Council, what are they doing here?" Liz asked as she and Patti changed back.
"Obviously it's about Harry." Kid answered.
"Maybe there's going to be a new fight against the Ishidas since they're Deathscythes now!" Patti exclaimed as they went to Harry's side as the Wraithe siblings changed back.
"Deathscythes? You mean you finally reached your goal with these two is true?" Ramirez asked.
"You got it! Nice to see you three again and ebeneiser." Harry said with a smile.
"Likewise Haas! And son of the Grim Reaper!" Ebeneiser said.
Kid bowed his head as respect to him.
"So, where's the entire class of vamps or did they run off to join their coven?" Luccio asked Harry.
"I had them train with Molly near their dorms, since the crap that happened in Chicago, they need to get back into soul hunting." Thomas answered.
"I see, we better go and see them as well since those events that happened to them are important, and same with Maka Albarn, Soul eater Evans, Black Star, Tsubaki, Chrona, and Ragnarok." Ebeneiser said.
"You also forgot Ox Ford and Harvard d. since they were with us as well!" Ryonosuke told them.
"If we had more Crescent Moon people that night we would've formed the Mickey Mouse Club by now!" Kyosuke said.
Listens to Wind rose an eyebrow and said, "You two have been hanging around this wizard a little too much by the sounds of it."
Ramirez looked at Ryo's duster and said, "Especially in the duster."
"Come on now, I look a lot more stylish than my brother here!" Ryonosuke exclaimed.
"At least I didn't copy off of Harry and added the tie and shirt from your old look!" Kyosuke exclaimed.
"enough you two! We have guests and they need to talk to the others to make sure that what happened is the truth." Harry told them.
"Let me guess, they don't trust us even though they let you teach us after that duel months ago." Ryonosuke said.
"Exactly, so behave will ya?" Harry told the both of them.
"Yes Zaheeb!" the both of them exclaimed.
Thomas and Inari stifled a few laughs.
"I swear you two shouldn't talk to Bob anymore with that title for me, come on!" Harry said.
They all led the members of the White Council to the training grounds near class Blood Fang's quarters. They even had Kid and the Thompsons go and fetch their other classmates to talk to the White Council. Jack was serving them tea in the garden area when Crescent Moon came to the area.
Chrona started to shake a bit from the feel of the stares. Both of the Samamura sisters and Baki tried to ignore the smell of fear by eating scones and tarts rapidly.
"Okay, my scones and tarts are good but not that good!" Jack exclaimed.
Molly pulled him close to her and said, "Hey, you don't want the boss to be penalized or get in trouble with the council if they really knew the situation with them."
"Right! I better serve Crescent Moon some before they gobble them up." Jack said as he brought more cups and plates for them. He even went to Chrona and whispered to him, "Look mate, calm down, we don't want to stir up Miaka, Aria, and Baki's feed for fear around these guys!"
"Oh please, Chrona is all about fear, it's a miracle that bravery potion worked on him!" Ragnarok exclaimed as he came out.
"Bravery potion?" Listens to Wind asked as he looked at Harry.
"Well, since we were going into a place where the Malvora family would hang out then why not stifle their munchies with a new potion?" Harry asked and turned to Jack. "Hey, more tea Mr. Arrow!"
Jack ran over to refill the cup.
"Haas, there's no ignoring this, what you did was risky and stupid!" Ebeneiser told him.
"I had to get my class back and you entrusted me to protect them especially the Ishida brothers since one of them was feeding on fear all thanks to the Wraithe twins." Harry told them.
"True, they were taken out were they not?" Luccio asked.
"They were and now the other two houses are getting revenge for Madrigal." Harry said.
"What about that Madeline chick? Isn't she his twin sister?" Ramirez asked as he picked up a tart.
The vampires laughed hysterically at that question.
"Was it something said?" Ramirez asked.
Listens to Wind shrugged.
"It means that Madeline is a laughing stock by the looks of things." Maka said.
"You got it!" they said all at once.
"She's not respected as you may seen her in her pretty and expensive dress back in Chicago but all she is just a weapon in Madrigal's hands." Kana told them.
"The other two houses only respect Madrigal since he doesn't feed off of Lust and was making sure that we fell into Malvora's feed." Kyosuke said.
"And now the Samamuras and Baki have to suffer for it!" Kid said.
"And don't forget Jiro." Patti said.
"What do you mean by that? Can you explain?" Listens to Wind asked Blood Fang.
"In order to do that, we have to start from where we retrieved our souls." Ryonosuke said.
"We've got all day." Ebeneiser said.
So, everyone started from where both the Ishida twins were at the house of Matilda and Gruntilda for their souls and how they changed into Deathscythes. Then it turned to how Vitorio Malvora brought a group of ghouls to take them on and it took Molly, the Samamuras, Kana, Jiro, and Baki with them to Chicago. Kana told them about her escape once in Chicago that led into the plan to meet up with everyone else at Club Zero where Crescent Moon came in and explained their fights.
"Now, Jiro has taken up his family rite back and the Malvoras want Baki and the Samamuras to feed off of fear like we did." Kyosuke said.
"Who knows, they might do it again to us." Ryonosuke said.
Kyosuke nodded.
The four members of the White Council were silent and sipped their tea.
"Hell's bells, is that your only answer to all of this?" Harry asked angrily and a chill filled the air and the tea in the other cups grew some frost.
"Whoa man, calm down!" Soul exclaimed.
Ebeneiser was a little shocked by what just happened but shrugged it off a bit and said, "You know that by killing two White Court vamps that has one that is being loved by the rest causes a coup right?"
They were all silent.
"You're saying that us taking out Madrigal and his stupid sister was wrong?" Ryonosuke asked.
"Ryo." Liz said.
"No, but it may have started a coup and it caused the other two houses to go after you for that, I do have to say what you did was pretty brave of the both of you." Ebeneiser told him and turned to the others in Crescent Moon. "The same goes for you all, you would've been dead if Haas didn't make that potion."
"Aw Ebeneiser, you know flattery is not my best policy." Harry said.
"Now we got that settled, since some of your students have come under the power of the other two houses, it looks like it's your new duty to protect them but turn their weapons into Deathscythes to snap them out of it like with the Ishidas." Listens to Wind said.
"I'm planning on it, I will even get Baki out of it somehow even if it has to deal with his comrades killing him." Harry said.
Everyone went silent at that point.
"Very well, we will also check up on you time to time since it looks like you made a new home at this establishment." Luccio said.
"Great, more baby sitting? I thought I was one of you guys!" Harry exclaimed.
"Well, you do end up being a snarky, little kid after all!" Soul commented.
Everyone else in Crescent Moon stifled a laugh.
"Hah ha! Maybe I should turn you into a kid Soul!" Harry told him.
"Not cool man!" Soul exclaimed.
They finished off the tea and treats and the Wardens headed towards the exit when Ebeneiser pulled Harry to the side.
"What's up Mentor? Something wrong?" Harry asked.
"That spell you pulled with your anger earlier, it formed ice! Did you take up the mantal?" he asked.
"Yes, I did, but it was to save Death City, Mab froze it over not too long ago." Harry answered.
"Bloody hell Haas, you know Mab is psychotic." Ebeneiser told him.
"Yeah, if I didn't take up the mantal then this entire place would be a winter not-so-wonderland forever." Harry said.
Ebeneiser sighed and aksed, "When is your first assignment for her?"
"Right after you and the three wardens leave, according to the court, Mavera is back and tip toeing on the borders of winter." He answered.
"You better be careful then, you don't know if Mab is going to set you up knight or not." Ebeneiser warned.
"Right, I will keep that in mind even with what the Winter Knight before me did under her command." Harry said.
"Also, make sure to have Ms. Carpenter and your class and Crescent Moon on standby, they are the only ones you can turn to when the situation turns messy." Ebeneiser said.
"Don't worry, I will, hell even Dr. Stein wouldn't mind dissecting a few Black Courts with Holy Tie." Harry said.
Ebeneiser smiled and clapped a hand on Harry's shoulder and said, "You've changed since you started teaching here and that Molly girl is changing as well, keep it up!"
"I will, I can chuck icicles or fireballs if I have to." Harry said.
The both of them exchanged their goodbyes and Ebeneiser, Ramirez, Listens to Wind, and Luccio left through the opening into the NeverNever.
That evening, Harry finished packing the important things he need on his mission.
"Are you sure about this boss? Leaving the kids alone?" Bob asked on the new shelf that was inside the basement lab that was newly made in the apartment.
"Don't worry, Molly will look after them and Bolt Head and Holy Tie as well." Harry said.
"You are going up against a Black Court, who knows what will happen there." Bob said.
"Yeah, yeah, I have enough holy water, garlic, and those holy water pellets that Kincaid shown me how to make after that one time! I also have Thomas and Inari as my ammo." Harry told him.
"I still find it weird that you are going on your own this time around, just be careful out there new Winter Knight." Bob said.
"I will, if I need to, I have Lord Death's number." Harry said and headed back to the first floor where he found his class and the Wraithe siblings.
"Are you sure about this?" Molly asked.
"Yeah, I will send Mouse back home when trouble arouses." Harry answered.
Everyone hugged and petted Mouse and gave Harry and the Wraithe siblings their good lucks and Harry and Mouse left. Once outside of Death City, he met up with Leigha and Maeve.
"So Winter Knight, ready?" Maeve asked.
"You got it, by the way, if shit rises let me send my dog back at least!" Harry requested.
Maeve looked at Mouse and he snuffed at her.
"Very well, let's go!" Maeve exclaimed.
She opened the way and they all disappeared into the Winter Realm of Faerie.
