Hey everyone! I've finally updated! Good news: This time as an apology for always posting so late, you guys will be getting another chapter bundled with this one! Yay!

Unfortunately, the beta reader hasn't edited it yet, but I figured I would share it with you guys first! I hope you'll read it again after it's edited for better quality:) Which also means, there will probably be grammar/phrasing/spelling mistakes along the way, and also without the cute little fluffs the beta reader adds! (Did you know? She adds fluffs in!)

I'm really sorry for updating this late. Seeing all your reviews and favourites made me feel so bad because I was so happy seeing every single one of them and yet not doing anything about it. Thank you all so much! It's your support that got me working again while I was trapped between piles of school work! Again, all this lateness is my fault, and even Red Dragon was rushing me this time. Speaking of which, I think Red Dragon really needs more appreciation. She's the one who comes up with the amazing storyline and ideas, while I'm this freeloader whose only work is to morph her outline into a story and procrastinate. She has an account too! I would appreciate it if you would all shower her with favs and follows to show your appreciation ^^ Her account (not sure if this link works...?): u/5341935/Red-Dragon-Of-Flames . If not, search 'Red Dragon Of Flames' under 'Writer'! I'm sure she will appreciate it!

Okay, have fun reading and look forward to the next chapter which will be posted in a few minutes!

~TheFlyingNeko and Red Dragon

"Class, I have an important piece of news to tell you. Over the next few days, something bad may happen. So I will have to group you up into groups of three. All of you will learn about how to work in a team, and work together in the future in order to be able to protect yourselves."

"Mathis, Cas and Sam. You're together."

"Noah, Nore and Axelle."

The teacher in B-1 went down the list...

"And Amelie, Kazuki and Maxime."

"Erm, hi! I'm Hiraga Kazuki, nice to meet you."

"Ah! Sunflower! Weary of time, who countest the steps of the Sun, seeking after that sweet golden clime, where the traveller's journey is done; where the youth pined away with desire, and the pale Virgin shrouded in snow, arise from their graves an aspire, where my sunflower wishes to go." Amelie recited as she held a flower/wand.

Kazuki felt awkward in the midst of the situation.

"Oh! I'm sorry, let me introduce you to myself. My name is Amelie de Gramont. I'm Guiche de Gramont's daughter. Mmm, you look handsome like a prince, maybe you'd wanna go out some day?" She asked.

"... Uh, oh yeah, the guy with yellow hair..."

Before she could say anything, Maxime cut in.

"Hmm, apple or pie?" Maxime asked.

"...Pie?" Asked an utterly confused Kazuki.

"Good, nice to meet you! I'm Maxime de Grandpre, son of Malicorne de Grandpre. By any chance, do you know my father?"

"Ah yes! I see the resemblance!" Kazuki said as he look head to toe at Maxime, his eyes trailing at his big belly that reminded him Mr Malicorne.

"Erm, may I ask you something, Kazuki… Aren't you a bit old to be in this class?" Amelie asked.

"Well, yes. My mother Louise de la Valliere…"

"Woah! Louise de la Valliere! The amazing hero, most powerful woman in Halkeginia, she's your mother?!"

"Well, yeah." Kazuki said while pondering about her huge reaction.

"Woah! I'm her big fan!" Amelie said, bouncing on the balls of her feet.

'Wow, it looks like mom is very famous here…' thought Kazuki.

"Class! Stop talking. Kazuki, come down here for awhile."

"Er.. Yes!"

"You are going to discover what your element is, by taking a small test. Here's a slip of paper. Put it on your hand."

Kazuki took the paper and put it on his hand.

"What shall I do with this?"

Suddenly, the paper cut into half. Kazuki was shocked and yelled, "I-I-I didn't do anything! It just cut itself! I…."

"This is not your fault. This slip of paper holds a magical power. If you're a Fire element Mage, the paper will burn. If you're a Water element Mage, the paper will turn soggy. If you're an Earth element Mage, the paper will crumple and if you're a Wind element mage, the paper will cut into half. Therefore, you're a Wind element Mage."

"Wow… But, how am I going to develop this power? I mean, this is my first time and I…"

"Don't worry."

"Huh?"

"I promised Mr Osmond that I will help you to train your powers."

"We will help too!" said Amelie and Maxime.

"Thanks, everyone and thank you, Miss…"

"You can call me Miss Tess." Miss Tess said as she smiled at Kazuki and Kazuki smiled back.

Meanwhile in Akane and Hitomi's class…

"Wow, cool! I'm an Earth element! What's yours, sister?"

"Earth element, same! Teacher, I was wondering though, what's your element?"

"Hahaha... Since you've asked, I will tell you. Mine's earth too!"

"Cool!" The two exclaimed at the same time.

"Mmm, you two will group up with Matthias, he's a Fire element. The three of your powers will become a great element combination."

"Really? Thanks Mrs… Erm, what should we call you teacher?"

"Call me Mrs Cattleya."

"Mrs Cattleya.. Where I heard that before..." Hitomi asked.

"Thats right! You're mother's second oldest sister!"

"Yup. You two must be my youngest sister twin daughters. Nice to meet you two."

"Hmm, who is this Matthias?"

"He's over there, he's quite a shy kid. The two of you would have to take care of him since he's younger than you two. Which makes you the oldest."

"Mmm… okay, then! We'll head there now!" Hitomi said, waving the teacher goodbye.

"Hello!" The twins said.

"Er.. Hi?" Matthias said shyly.

"We're your groupmates! So, wanna be friends?" Akane and Hitomi said with their warm smiles.

"Er.. O-Okay." Matthias said, smiling back.

Meanwhile, Louise and Saito parents decided to buy a weapon for Saito, for he did not own one at the moment, and were on their own horses on the way to town…

"I've been wondering this for a while… But why do you have a Japanese name, mum? I mean, you were born here, weren't you?" Saito asked.

"Oh, well… I created a new name when I got to Earth, so that it would feel like a new start. Plus, I wouldn't fit in there if I had such a weird name." She replied.

"Then… What was your name?"

"Karin. Karin de Cornelis."

"Cornelis?! That's one of the most prestigious families in Tristain…" Louise exclaimed.

"Well yes, with a high reputation… But not in a good way. Right now, everyone thinks the head family only has one offspring, and that's my brother, who was imprisoned some time ago. Although he's been released, the family decided to forgive him, and he had done great things afterwards, that still left a mark on their history. But I doubt they had much of a choice, since me and my brother are their only offsprings, and offsprings are supposed to be a family's pride and glory. Therefore, they released the spell on my brother. But of course, this is just a theory…"

"Why don't they just have more children? That way, the problem would be solved, wouldn't it?" Saito asked.

"Well… My parents had a really hard time conceiving. After many years, they could only have two children. I guess that'll explain me and my brother's age gap… He's going to be 50 soon, while I've barely reached 40."

"Oh… I'm sorry for broaching this subject. But… Don't you.. Want to see your family again?" Louise asked.

"I do… But I'm... Scared. My family aren't the nicest people, and I doubt they'll be happy to see me… Ah, sorry. Please don't think about me too much, really." Karin said, with a smile.

"It's fine. After all, you're our mum! Besides, I'm sorry but I think you're wrong. I doubt your family, or any family, wouldn't be glad to see one of their children who had gone missing. I may not understand your situation very well, but… That's what I know." Saito said.

"Thank you, Saito… I'm happy that you said that."

"Oh, we're here." Kichirou said.

They unhitched from their horses and lightly dropped onto the ground, looking around at their surroundings.

"Ouch! Horse rides always make my butt hurt!" Saito complained.

"I know what you mean son. So, where are we going to buy swords?"

"We'll go to the place where I bought a weapon for Saito."

"The Weapon Shop." Saito's mom and Louise said together, causing Karin to turn to look at Louise.

"Yeah. Afterall, Saito needs a new weapon. He can't always depend on Guiche's wand, afterall." Louise.

"Y-You know that place too?" Saito's mom asked.

"Yes. That place is the only place I know. How did you know that place, Mom?" Louise asked.

"Your mother introduced it to me. She helped me a lot, back then. Your dad here got his weapon, 'Archery' there."

"Yup!" Saito's father said as he thought of his weapon.

Flashback

"I heard rumours that this place is the best!" Karin said.

"Wow, a bow and arrow!" Kichirou exclaimed.

"You like it?" Karin asked.

"Yes!" Kichirou said as he nodded furiously.

"Alright then. Excuse me. How much does this cost?"

"1000."

"Wow, that's expensive... I've only brought 100." Kichirou said.

"Don't worry, I'll help you pay! Here.." Karin offered.

"But..."

"We are friends, so we help one another. You can pay me back some other day."

"Thank you, Karin" Kichirou said, with a huge smile on his face.

End of Flashback.

"We're gonna be there soon." Louise said.

Meanwhile... a prince from Termonia decided to go to Tristain to check out the princess as he heard that she's still single, and so he disguised himself to prevent anyone from knowing he's a prince and walked along the road. As he was strolling along the buildings, Saito accidentally bumped into him.

"Ah, sorry!" Saito exclaimed

"Watch where you're going!" The prince's knight said.

The prince raised his hand, gesturing that it was fine, and the guard stopped.

"Sorry..."

"Urgh… Baka inu! You should have watched where you were going!" Said Louise.

"What!? Its not my fault that there are so many cool things around!"

"H-How dare you talk back to me! Y-Y-You baka inu!" She screamed as she hit his head, resulting in a Saito begging for mercy.

"Who is that guy?" The prince asked his knight.

"He is Hiraga Saito, your majesty. I heard a rumour that he's a hero, who saved Halkeginia from a war. Also, he comes from different universe."

"Different universe?"

"Yes. A world called 'Earth'."

"Earth huh... Hmm… I've changed my mind. Let's go back to the castle and check on this Saito guy." He smirked.

"Yes sir."

'Ring…' The bell rang when they went in.

"Oh… Miss Valliere! Welcome."

"It's Mrs. I'm married." Louise said awkwardly.

"Oh, congratulations then!" Said the owner. The owner tilted his head a little to see the people at the back, and the first person he saw Saito's mom.

"Y-you! You are…"

"Yes, I am…"

"Ah... Welcome welcome! So, whats bring you here?"

"He totally ignoring us.." Thought Saito and his dad.

"We're here to buy a weapon for my husband here.." said Louise.

"H-H-Husband! You two are! Wow…"

"Ha ha ha…" Saito laughed as he smiled awkwardly and scratched his head.

"What happened to that weapon?"

"We... Don't want to talk about that."

"Oh, so.. What kind of weapon do you want?" The owner asked.

"Saito?"

"Er.. I don't know. I can't think of any other but Derf."

"Oh! How about double swords?" Said Kichirou

"Hmm, okay."

"Double swords… Hmm, let me check. Ah ha! This pair of swords is called Twins swords."

"Come on Saito. Try and use it."

Saito hands were trembling as he was about to take the Twins swords, but he bucked up and grabbed it. Suddenly, the runes on his hands shined brightly, along with the Twins swords! The brightness reflected on Saito's eyes when...

"Hey, partner!" Derflinger said.

"Derflinger! Welcome back!"

Thanks for reading and keep an eye out for the next chapter!
