Chapter 28 Painful Past

I do not own Trinity seven and any of its characters. All credit goes to its creator

Welcome to Chapter 28. It was finally time for Arata and Hijiri to reunite and the satisfaction was something to behold. Of course there was soon trouble in paradise when Liese revealed that her partner Lugh would be joining Arata and Akio on a mission to Akio's old home. The girls clearly hadn't gotten over what happened and things were only gonna get better from here.

It's been five days since the group returned from the hot springs and Hijiri and Lugh were now a part of the academy. Hijiri and Lugh were both given collars that restrained their power and Liese and Levi looked over the pair. Liese with Hijiri and Lugh was watched by Levi. Despite the protests of Mira and Lilith it was allowed. Speaking of Lilith she was on her way to grab Arata for the group mission.

"Hello Arata are you up" Lilith said knocking on the door. Knowing Arata's penchant for sleeping in early figured she'd come see the young man. After knocking again and getting no response Lilith took the spare key she was given and opened the door. The girls got spare keys because Arata was typically woken up in a rather pleasant way. (AN: Basically he gave them spare keys so they could have morning sex without him having to be woken up first). Of course when she opened the door she walked in on a rather unpleasant sight; at least unpleasant for Lilith.

"Ahh Arata so good" Hijiri moaned as she bounced up and down Arata's member.

"Keep using your tongue Arata" Liese moaned happily.

Yep, Lilith walked in on Hijiri and Liese bouncing on Arata naked as can be. The sight was one that didn't shock her considering the young man was well known for his erotic mornings. A few of which Lilith participated in herself. However now it was time for business. "Umm ladies I hate to interrupt but Arata has a mission to go to"

"Ahh that's right nghh" Liese moaned. "Don't worry sensei he's gonna be done soon. So am I actually Ahh" Liese teased as almost on cue Arata slammed a load into Hijiri and Liese came on Arata. As the girls fell to the side. Lilith stared angrily at the young mage.

"Oh morning sensei. Listen I'm gonna go take a shower and then I'll meet you at the principal's office." Arata said as calmly as somebody who just finished with two girls.

"Oh Arata one thing before you go" Hijiri said bashfully.

"What's that Hijiri" Arata asked innocently.

"If you're going to sleep with Lugh can you wait till you return from the mission?" Hijiri said bluntly. Unbeknownst to Arata, Lugh became fascinated with Arata and considering his easy acceptance figured it would be a matter of time till Lugh broached the subject with the demon mage.

"Got it. I'll probably wait till we get back. Considering Liese is coming along I won't have time. Plus sensei here won't let me" Arata said smiling as he left. As he went to the shower Liese was shocked at Hijiri's candor, especially given the way things had been just a few days ago.

"Geez a week ago you destroyed your own school and nearly destroyed ours because you couldn't stand Arata being with the others. Now you're okay with your partner doing him. Geez what happened to you" Liese groaned. Lilith who remained behind was equally.

Hijiri blushed heavily seeing the irony in that whole situation. "Having him inside me changed my perspective. Now I know what I've been missing and it wouldn't be right to deny anybody else that right"

"Good grief" Lilith groaned.

"Oh sensei don't you have to get Lugh's key from Levi" Liese teased.

"Yep I'll see you over at the principal's Liese" Lilith said as she went to the showers.

(Principal's Office)

After Arata's shower he finally made his way to the principal's office for the mission in hand. Arata was joined by Lugh Akio and his sensei who still wasn't pleased with the fact that his morning had begun inside a pair of women not named her.

"So have a fun morning big guy" the principal said happily.

"You know the answer to that my friend" Arata said teasingly. "Though that's not important. What is important is the mission we're headed for.

"Hmm it's a simple scout mission. Your job is to go to the library and see if everything's okay. "The principal said calmly.

"He's lying partner. If everything is as okay as he suggested you wouldn't bring three trinity seven members with you and Lugh. There's something else at the sky library." Dante warned.

'I know that Dante but let's play along. You once said Akio is a spriggan and based on what you've told me that means her hometown has tons of secrets' Arata thought. Arata was still talking to Dante until he was interrupted by Lilith.

"Arata is everything okay" Lilith asked worriedly.

"Ahh sorry I was just thinking about something" Arata asked curiously.

"Hmm what's bothering you big brother" Akio said happily.

"Well I'm just thinking that this is gonna be such a busy mission I won't have time for any fun with Lugh. I do owe her one after all" Arata said calmly.

"ARATA" Lilith cursed.

"Don't worry magic king you'll have plenty of time whether it's on this mission or after" Lugh said blushing slightly.

"That's good I mean Hijiri brought it up so I don't mind."

"HAHAHA if that's all get going" the principal chided as the group left. As the group left the principal sat there calmly. "So now it's time. His next test has at last arrived"

"I knew it. There was another reason for you to send him there" Dante said as he appeared out of nowhere.

"Hmm so what gave it away?"

"If it was a simple scout mission you wouldn't send 3 of your strongest fighters along with the magic king.

"Very well then I'll tell you what awaits him there…" the principal says as he reveals a dark secret.

"Well over the years I've done some crazy stuff. But this is insanity. You should know how dangerous it is"

"Of course I do, but Arata can never truly grow if we don't take some risks. You must be aware of that Dante"

"Aware of it yes. Happy with it not particularly. I like this guy a lot and now I gotta make sure he doesn't get killed." Dante scoffs as he vanishes.

(Scene Skip)

As Arata and gang made their way towards the sky library Arata still wondered just what was going on. Sure he had Liese Akio Lilith and Lugh so the number of powerful mages was clear but something felt off. "Hey Akio you said you were born near the sky library so do you mind telling me about it" Arata said calmly.

"Of course but before I do I have a question for you Arata?"

"Hmm what's that?"

"Have you heard of something called a spriggan before" Akio asked intrigued at what Arata's opinion was.

"Yes Dante mentioned that you were one when we first got your power to prepare to battle Liese. I didn't research it more because if you had some secret it was always yours to keep" Arata said bluntly.

"I see. Well Spriggans protect ruins that hold massive treasures. In my case I was told to protect the sky library and all of its secrets" Akio said with a sad expression on her face.

"Secrets" Arata wondered.

"Yes but I cannot tell you more. What I can tell you is the reason the sky library is no more is because of those secrets" Akio responded.

"That's a shame. It must be tough returning to this place" Arata said solemnly

"More then you know. I'm actually kinda mad at the principal for bringing you along" Akio said hesitantly.

"She knows something. You should interrogate her" Dante teases.

'No I'm not gonna get her to reveal all her secrets just yet. Things are far too interesting that way' Arata replies.

"Hmm you've become noble since your little orgy." Dante teased.

'Silence' Arata quipped back.

"So Akio what's the big secret." Liese asked worriedly.

"Come on Liese you should be aware that people like their secrets" Akio said steadfast.

"Aww can you please tell me" Liese said sneaking behind Akio. She was about to start groping her but Arata stopped her ahead of time.

"That's enough Liese" Arata insisted. He knew what the mage was up to and he didn't approve.

"Aww fine. You'll have to make it up to me later though" Liese pouted but agreed.

"Spare me you just fucked me this morning" Arata groaned as the group continued.

Finally making it to the sky library Arata wondered just what to do. "Huh so we gotta go up there huh" Arata wondered.

"Yep a nice flare of your magic king energy should do it" Liese said happily.

"Got it" Arata said as he powered up. Just like Liese expected a large blast of energy appeared and Arata quickly blew around it.

"Be careful this is gonna be ugly" Akio said calmly.

"Its fine Black Arts: Gallack Gun" Arata shouted as he fired a burst of energy back at the oncoming energy. The two energies clashed and the group lost track of themselves.

(Sky Library)

When the light vanished the group found themselves in what seemed like a massive group of ruins. The many buildings didn't seem to have a person in sight but there was a special power about the place.

"Ughh what happened" Arata groaned when he reached up his hands immediately felt something soft and bouncy

"Ahh" a mysterious voice moaned. It turned out Arata got tangled with Lugh of all people. "

"Damn Lugh got lucky. I wish Arata would grope me" Liese teased.

When Arata got his bearings he realized Liese's words were true and he was groping the Iscariot mage. "Sorry about that Lugh" Arata said bashfully.

"Hmm it's okay magic king" Lugh said bashfully though when she turned away she blushed heavily.

"Ughh big bro you're clueless" Akio said embarrassed.

"Yea yea" Arata said calmly though he was immediately nervous. 'What the hell something feels incredibly wrong' Arata thought to himself.

"So you can sense it to huh partner" Dante said with a heavy concern in his voice.

'Yea I can there's somebody here who possesses extraordinary power far stronger than anything I'm used to' Arata responded in his mind.

"I guess" Dante responded hesitantly. It was clear Dante knew more than he cared to admit but his silence spoke volumes.

"Uhh Arata is everything okay" Lilith asked in concern.

"Yea its nothing Lilith" Arata responded as Lilith's voice got him out of his daze. Though he said that he was still very concerned and staring at Akio he knew that there was something incredibly important that she was hiding.

"Yea let's keep exploring. But be careful these ruins are not too happy with intruders" Akio warned. With that the group started moving around.

(Biblia Academy)

While the group was off to the sky library the principal sat in his office waiting to see what the result would bring.

"Hmm I hope you're doing okay Arata" the principal said ominously. Though a knock on the door changed matters. "You can come in" the principal smiled. Much to his amusement the person who arrived was Hijiri.

"You realize how reckless you're being right" Hijiri said angrily. Hijiri knew quite a bit about the sky library. Although her partner was the one who pillaged the place. Lugh always had a story or two to tell

"Of course but for your boyfriend it's a necessary test" The principal responded

Hijiri blushed slightly at the mention of her relationship with Arata but continued. "Hmph you may be right but are you sure bringing that group was the right idea" Hijiri asked critically.

"Hmm what do you mean? Akio and Lilith are strong and Liese cares about Arata far too much to do anything reckless. Lugh is intrigued so I don't see the problem" the principal said ominously.

"There's something odd about that teacher is all. Maybe I'm worried about nothing but I'm more worried about her" Hijiri responded.

The principal was intrigued at Hijiri's worry. Of course the principal was aware of what she was worried about. Though he didn't particularly mind. "Don't worry Hijiri-chan I'm sure things will work themselves out." The principal responded with a Cheshire cat smile.

(Sky Library)

Arata and gang walked around the sky library Arata let his concerns about what he felt earlier go away. The place was certainly intriguing and although it was abandoned it was clear it was hiding a rich history. "So Akio tell us more about your home" Arata wondered.

"Well my hometown was actually below it. The sky library hides many secrets and the town watched over the location. The truth is my town was destroyed when I was a child. I walked all around trying to figure out what happened.

"So what kind of secrets are there" Liese wondered.

"It's mostly magic king weapons. In fact my three weapons came from the library" Lugh said calmly.

Lugh's words intrigued Arata so he decided to ask more, "hey Lugh did you ever find something other than the weapons in the library" Arata asked hoping to get the answers he was seeking.

"That question will have to wait we got company" Liese said worriedly. All of the sudden a blast of energy appeared in front of them.

"What the hell is that" Arata wondered. Looking up he was surprised to see a back crystal floating in the sky. Below the crystal was the aforementioned Lugh.

"Well this sucks. She was fine just a second ago what the hell happened" Liese said angrily. Liese quickly realized that Lugh was being controlled by the crystal. Now as an enemy it wouldn't be a problem but since she was an ally it was a bit more complicated.

"Who cares what happened the question now is how do we stop her" Akio groaned as the now controlled mage prepared her attack.

That's it for chapter 28. The Sky Library arc is off to an explosive start and things are about to get fun. Next chapter the gang rescues Lugh but a dangerous side effect reveals a shocking secret and a dangerous foe.
