Welcome to the next chapter of The Magic Knight, before starting the story. Let's answer some reviews:
Hellspam: Thanks. Just like you said, the idea of him playing a Dating Sim sounds like an interesting and hilarious idea. The idea of those being interacting with one another considering that Avalon is a place where it's quiet most of the time.
King0fP0wers: Yea, since they're not mentioned much in the canon. The reason being was that Issei couldn't use the full power of his sacred gear due to the rules of their rating game, so it decreased the overall power and defense granted by his scale mail armor. So that was partially why his attacks could reach him. That is exactly what a "Heavy Blow" an attack filled with passion, not power. You're right, the power ranking for Issei isn't really all that clear. So, you must use who he was fighting to clearly rate it. Issei (Reincarnated Devil- Canon Wise); his powers were below that of a Low-Class Devil reaching that of a High-Class with his Boosted Gear; Issei (Humanoid Dragon); his power equaled that of a High-Class Devil; Issei + Balance Breaker, his power is possibly higher that of an Upper-Class Devil; Issei + Illegal Move Triana, his power is possibly below that of an Ultimate Class Devil or on par with Vali in his Balance Breaker; Issei + Crimson Cardinal Promotion, Azazel said at that point his power was on par with an Ultimate-Class Devil then possibly below a Satan-Class; and Issei using Diabolos Dragon God, since it uses the combination of Great Red's flesh and Ophis' power, his strength would be that of a Super Devil. A Heavenly Dragon is the only one with power that rivals a God, while a Super Devils would be just below that level of power (Sirzechs and Ajuka being the possible exception of them at full power could match the Top 10 Strongest of the World). I shall not reveal who Ariel, but I can already guess that you know who Percy is.
Jack Wesker: Well, Issei couldn't use the full power of his sacred gear so his defenses and power weren't that high. Yes, this chapter was Saji's time to shine. As the fall of villains is concerned, Cao Cao's was more respected (even though he was misguided); Shalba just went insane and Rizevim was first beaten by Issei + Diabolos Dragon God and then was bitten in half by Fafnir. As for that one, his fall shall be everything that's coming to him. The fall of the Evil Dragon was more well-respected, they just accepted their loss.
Guest: Thanks.
Tohka123: Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Don't worry his brave saints will come soon.
DdraigTrueEmperor9: Thanks. I know, it's sad when someone is overshadowed by all the protagonists. The purpose of that match was to show them (Gremory Team) that there are times when overwhelming power can't when them the match. Yea, if it were just Issei at his max power then it would have been more of a one-sided match (well, since neither of them knew about Tsubaki's Sacred Gear, then it would have resulted in major damage if they had their massive attacks reflected at double strength). Don't worry, they will be receiving their own daily training by Christian. You're welcome, even though I don't hate Issei as much some people do…I thought that reading his opponent's breasts as a bit much. Yep, I really did like Sona's character a bit more and considering their similar traits, I thought that they matched more (but everyone else will have their moments later on). I know, plus it would be difficult considering that Tiamat acts as the Secret Administrator Rating Game. But, I am torn on who should be his Joker. When the truth comes out, Christian won't be…happy about it. PS. Response: Both Percy and Ariel are OC characters. I'm pretty sure that you can tell who Percy is by his first and last name. And if everyone thinks real hard about it, then I'm sure that her name is a lot like similar to another person who appeared once in the cannon.
Guest 2: There will be more Yumi x Lancelot x Jeanne moments later on.
Guest 3: Her name in the story is Yuuma. Due to the Brave Saint, she would be an Angel, so her wings would probably turn white. Not that I am thinking of reincarnated her into his peerage. That oc Dragon sounds like an interesting idea, but I don't think it will come up in this story.
Guest 4: I think that Indra is a bit stronger that Crom Crunch. No matter how strong he is there is no way that he can fight against Great Red. Right now, Ophis' powers are untamed at the moment, but currently, her powers are twice as strong as both the Heavenly Dragons put together. It is hard to tell since he has never really fought in the canon, but it was mentioned on his page that it would take the Four Great Satan to match him in power.
Remaning Days of Summer
On the remaining days of summer before the second term starts, Xenovia had woke up inside her own bedroom; in another one of her odd sleeping positions with her stomach exposed. She opened her eyes with a slight yawn escaping her mouth as the sunlight escaped through the curtains of her large bedroom with its freshly painted walls.
It had the same things as Lance and the other's bedrooms, but it was notable that inside of her room were workout equipment that was laid around her room. After sitting up in her bed with a long yawn escaping from her mouth, while stretching her arms out.
"*Yawn* It's still summer, I wonder what we're going to do today." Xenovia questioned while rubbing her still somewhat tried dark yellow eyes.
After getting out of bed, Xenovia began to get ready for another day. As she walked out of her room, she looked down the hall and saw Lance's room right next to hers.
"I wonder if he's up yet," she wondered while walking in the direction of his room door and began to knock on the door. "Lance-sama are you up?"
She stood there waiting for a response but didn't hear anyone responding back to her. So she thought that he was still asleep; though she stopped after smelling something being cooked in the kitchen downstairs. Thinking that it was him, Xenovia decided to walk downstairs with a bit of anticipation.
After walking downwards and into the living room area, Xenovia could see into the kitchen and realized that it wasn't Lance. It was the two blondes and fellow brave saints; Yumi along with Jeanne. Taking note of her presence, Jeanne turned around and waved her hands in her direction.
"Good morning, Xeno-chan~"
"Don't worry breakfast is almost ready."
Jeanne and Yumi had given out their separate greetings.
"Thank, but I thought that Lance-sama had woke up."
"Oh, he did. But, he went downstairs into the storage/garage. I think he said that he wanted to see if there was something still there." Yumi informed. "Why don't you help me with setting up the table?"
Agreeing with her, Xenovia began assisting Yumi with setting up the dining room table by placing the proper plates and utensils for four people.
*Ding* The three of them heard the sound that originated from the elevator leading to the underground basement. Looking in the direction they saw Lance stepped out from it and was rolling something inside of the living room.
"Morning, Lance-sama. Uh, what is that?"
Xenovia had questioned curiously as she pointed at the dark-colored motorcycle that he was pushing into the living room. Taking not of her curiosity, Lance looked towards them with a proud smile on his face.
"This was my dad's old motorcycle when he lived here. My uncle told me that when they were renovating the place, they moved it into the storage/garage and was told that I would use it if I wanted to." Lance answered. "So, I'm going to take it into my new lab and add some modifications to it."
Yumi looked in his direction with a wondering look on her face before she decided to ask.
"Lance-kun why would you need a motorcycle when you can fly, travel faster than any car, and use teleportation magic?"
Hearing her question caused Lance to waggle his index finger while making a noise using his mouth.
"You don't get it Yumi-chan, one of the most important things in a man's life is either a car or a motorcycle," Lance announced proudly, as he started to move it to the other elevator towards the top floor of the house. "So, I'm going to take this to the lab then come back down to join you guys."
Rolling the motorcycle into the elevator, the door closed behind him after seeing that Yumi had sighed slightly, while Jeanne chuckled to herself.
[Men.] Both said at the same time.
After they finished making breakfast and preparing the table, the three of them had sat around the table waiting for Lance to come back down. At that moment, Lance had come down from the final steps and began to head towards the table with his usual grin on his face. After taking a seat, he looked towards everyone else.
"Thanks for getting breakfast ready girls." Lance had thanked them.
"Well, since you cook most of the time. I thought we could do it for at least a day."
Jeanne grinned with her usual cheerful demeanor.
"Since you've finally joined us, let's say grace."
Yumi suggested with everyone else agreeing with her. They placed their hands together and began to say a silent pray. Once they finished they took apart the chopsticks and began to eat breakfast. Taking a single bite from the breakfast in front of him caused Lance to hum due to its wonderful taste that danced on his tongue.
"As always a wonderful Japanese-styled breakfast."
"Hehe, well we did have an excellent teacher…she didn't only teach us swordsmanship."
Yumi had said somewhat sadly, the person who came to mind was her adoptive mother and her teacher. The half-Japanese woman who was more of a samurai than knight—Naomi Shirogane; it was unintentional, but the memory of her teaching them how to cook resurfaced into their heads. Taking note of the expression that was on their faces Lance looked down.
"As long as you hold everything precious in your heart, then you won't be alone or sad. Even if a memory is too sad to keep walking forward and you'll soon find something that will fill your life with happiness."
It was the same words that Naomi used to tell the two of them whenever they were sad. After they heard those words that came from his mouth, their expressions brightened.
"You're right. Thanks, Lance-kun." Yumi thanked him, before raising an important question to her new king. "So, what are we going to do?"
"About what?"
"About our missing numbers. Isn't that something that our king should be worried about?"
"True currently those in our group is the queen of hearts, the two of hearts and ace of hearts."
Hearing the opinions that came from Jeanne and Xenovia, Lance had thought about it before he looked towards them as a slight sigh escaped from his mouth.
"I already know how to handle the missing numbers, but I'd really like to enjoy the rest of our summer break before having to worry about looking for recruits."
Neither of them could refute what he had said, it wasn't as if they needed to immediately find new members for the brave saints. Besides after the training that they went through along with the battle that came afterward, each of them could do with a couple of more days of rest.
"By the way where's Avon?" Xenovia asked.
"He said that there were some parts of his memory missing and thought that Tannin might know something, Tannin will call me when I can summon him back."
It was true that some parts of Avon's memories were gone, not that this was an odd thing since it also occurred with the Heavenly Dragons; but there was something that Avon felt that was important that he forgot.
"So, Lance-kun what're you doing today?" Yumi asked.
After he heard her ask that, Lance had a somewhat flushed look on his face by the answer that came to mind.
"Well, you see...I'm actually going on a date…with Sona-chan."
Hearing his answer, there was a sudden silence in the room. Neither Xenovia, Yumi and not even Jeanne said a single word to comment on his answer. All that Lance could do was look away from the tense atmosphere.
After eating breakfast, Lance had got ready for his date with Sona and currently stood outside the park located in Kuoh Town. He wore his normal clothes that went well with him.
"Did I keep you waiting?" A familiar voice that came near him.
"Oh, hey Sona-chan…."
He looked towards the direction of Sona who stood there in front of him dressed in a cute light-blue colored outfit. Lance couldn't help but blush after seeing how cute Sona looked right now, taking note of his glances caused Sona to shuffle in place with her cheeks being dusted with a deep shade of pink.
"You know it's embarrassing if you just stare at me like that."
"S-Sorry, you look cute in that Sona-chan."
Sona smiled at the compliment that was given and she began to approach him.
"So shall we get going?"
Sona suggested with Lance completely agree with her and both began to head into the city. As they continued down the streets enjoying the time they had together gone to different shops and just continued to talk with one another. This was one of the few instances where Lance has seen Sona smile so much and each time it was like his heart skipped a beat.
At the same department store that was located in Kuoh Academy, the same one that was used the rating game between the Gremory and Sitri. The ceiling of the department store was an open atrium. The oblong building's inside was fused with the department store and a shopping mall, and has a complex establishment with a diverse genre of different shops.
Currently, inside of the furniture store looking for other items that they needed for their bedrooms using the money that they had earned from their missions as Knight; it was both Yumi and Jeanne who were also being accompanied by Xenovia. Each of them was dressed in normal clothing that could catch the attentions of any male their age. As Jeanne was looking through pink-colored comforters for the bed in her room, Yumi looked towards her with a wondering look on her face.
"Uh, Jeanne-chan," Yumi called out with a wondering look. "What else do you think we should get for our bedrooms?"
Hearing her question, Jeanne began to think about it for a couple of seconds.
"Well, aside from our comforters, pillow case. We already got the basic necessities along with other things to make our room more homely." Jeanne had listed out before turning her attention towards Xenovia. "Though what does our second-in-command think?"
Jeanne questioned with a cheerful look, while also saluting like any other knight. At the sudden question, Xenovia became a bit embarrassed. Though she was happy that she was, in fact, the queen of not only her fiance but also the nephew of the current leader of the angels; there was also a part of her that was a bit nervous and doubtful about the position.
"W-Well, I heard from a friend of mine from class." Xenovia explained with a thinking expression on her face. "One of the most important things in a woman's life is clothing, this also grants us an opportunity to get one over on that woman."
Xenovia said that last part with a bit of venom, taking note of who she was talking about both Yumi and Jeanne nodded seriously. The apparition of a raven haired young woman their age had appeared over the three of them and began to laugh at them mockingly. Though the prospect of getting new clothing was appealing to them, the idea of getting one over on that person was far important to them.
[To defeat that woman.]
They all spoke out loud at the same time with their fists clenched tightly. Though the people in the store looked towards them with a confused look on their face, while most just ignored them after decided it was better to just leave them be.
Soon after finishing their furniture shopping, they ventured into the clothing store with each of them spending a majority of the time picking out new clothing. Due to her being somewhat new to this experience, Xenovia was also given some advice by both Yumi and Jeanne. As they walked down the street after leaving the department store, the three of them laughed enjoying their time with one another.
"So, Xeno-chan. How is it at Kuoh Academy?" Jeanne questioned. "I thought I'd ask since we will be going there eventually."
"Well, I really enjoy being there." Xenovia answered with a smile forming on her face. "I also really like interacting with everyone there whenever we took up requests from other students and classmates. Though there were some that—"
As Xenovia continued to go into detail about how much she enjoyed being at Kuoh, talking about her interactions with her classmates, the time spent in the club as Lance's vice-president and her conversations with the students who sent in requests to their club. Both Yumi and Jeanne could tell that she was really enjoying her time there.
"That sounds amazing Xenovia," Yumi replied after hearing Xenovia's answer. "It sounds like Lance-kun to start a club like that to help people with their troubles."
"By the way, Yumi have you had the opportunity to talk with Kiba?"
"Yea, I did just the other day. You know it's really odd, the only think that I was ever told was that I was left at the Chivalric Order by my father, I never thought I had any family out there." Yumi answered honestly, as she looked at the sky. "I'm really happy that I have a sibling. It turns out that we actually have a lot in common with one another."
Hearing that from her caused Jeanne to gasps lightly out of shock, she then began to rub the fake tears in her eyes.
"That really hurts, Yumi-chan," Jeanne spoke out in a faux hurt tone. "So, everything we've been through together means nothing anymore."
"Oh~ Jeanne-chan. That doesn't mean that you're still not my best friend and sister." Yumi had answered with a smile on her face while wrapping her arms around Jeanne. But, while she was doing that something had caught her attention. "Huh? Everyone we need to hide."
"Huh? Why?"
"What happened?"
"Just come on."
Both Jeanne and Xenovia questioned, but were stopped as she pulled both of them into an alley from sight. As they looked at Yumi with a questioning look on their face, they were then stopped by Yumi pointing her finger in the direction across the street. The other two looking in that direction and a slightly look of jealousy was shown on their face.
Walking down the street were both Lance and Sona who were both laughing, obviously, the two of them were having a good time with one another.
"Right, Lance-kun did say something about going on a date with So-chan," Jeanne said with a slight hint of jealousy. "So, what should be done, second-in-command?"
Both Yumi and Jeanne looked towards Xenovia for advice on this situation. In response to their gazes, Xenovia began to think about the situation.
"Let's follow them, but let's make sure we don't get spotted."
[Right.]
They agreed instantly with Xenovia's order, they took the belongings that they bought from the department store and placed it in their own dimensional storage. Soon enough the three of them began to tail the two of them without letting their presence known. As they continued to follow after them, Xenovia had looked towards Yumi and asked.
"Yumi didn't Lady Elaine, teach you how to increase your senses using aura?"
Since the formation of the Chivalric Order, then learning aura; there have been many Knights who sought out many ways to use their aura in combat. One of them was focusing their auras to increase a certain sense such as their eyesight.
"Uh, yeah," Yumi replied.
"Can you enhance your hearing to listen in on them?"
"Yes."
Yumi stood in the same spot with her eyes closed to better focus, she allowed her aura to flow internally without a speck of it being released outwards. She purely focused on just enhancing her hearing.
Walking down the street, both Lance and Sona had been naturally talked with one another about anything that could come to mind.
"S-so, you actually said that to the stray devil?" Sona had said with a slight laughter escaping her mouth.
"To be fair, most of the time I couldn't control what came out of my mouth when I was 10...well not as much as I do now," Lance replied. "I didn't think he'd get that mad after being called a big-horned pedophile ape. In my defense, he was a large ape with horns and he was handing around the orphanage...before I froze him."
"So, you were never afraid of facing stray devils as a child?"
"Compared to the monsters that the Paladins had to deal with, dealing with a stray was nothing," Lance stated fearlessly. "Though there is the issue now with filling in the lost slots for the Paladin, especially with my grandmother thinking about increasing their numbers."
"Increasing the numbers?"
"Well, if you read any material about the Paladins then they are typically called the twelve peers, not the seven. So counter her there are eleven more slots that need to be filled in." Lance had given his answer. "It also increases the Chivalric Order's battle strength after losing most of our other Knights. She also explained that she's going to be looking for people aside from the usual Knights."
It was true that the current strength of the Chivalric Order was lacking a bit due to most of their high-ranking knights being murdered the same time as the previous paladin. Though it was tradition to pick other knights to become the Paladin, Elaine decided to also pick other powerful individuals that went beyond that.
"So has she found anyone to replace them?"
"Yea, she said that she found three people who are currently at the Chivalric Order right now being promoted. She said that she has another person in mind, but it's going to take her a while to track him down." Lance answered before turning in Sona's direction. "Why don't we go get some ice cream? I think I saw a stand around here.
"That sounds nice."
Hearing the response from Sona, they decided to head in the direction of the ice cream stand that he was talking about with the three young women following behind them.
They later found themselves sitting down on a wooden park bench eating the ice cream that both of them had bought. While inside the bushes the three of them were still watching them without them being spotted yet.
"We should be able to hear better from here." Xenovia had stated in a hushed tone, with the two of them staring as they sat there and continued to talk.
"So, how's everything going with my uncle?"
"Great, he has really been excellently advising everyone about their separate traits and ways to improve themselves whether it's with close combat or with demonic powers. He's even giving me advice on how to increase my aptitude with my water magic. Having the head of the Ambrosius being an adviser really helps a lot."
"Yea, in terms of giving advice he has my dad beat. During a fight against a demon, he always said that if one attack doesn't work, then try hitting them twice has hard and twice has fast…though that did work sometimes." Lance laughed after remembering his training. "I had to learn how to fight with the strength and will of a Knight while learning to fight with the disciplined and skilled mind of a Magician. I spent most of that time learning how to fight with both in mind and create my own style of fighting."
As he explained that, the memories of his training that he went through with both his father and his uncle. Though both their ideas of how to rush into a situation clashed with one another, he had found his own way of handling a situation on his own. After talking about that, both had just remained silent for a while before Sona spoke up.
"I actually never thought I could ever talk to someone about this besides Rias when we were growing up. I also never thought that we could get this close."
"Yea, I feel the same way. Sona-chan."
"Lance-kun, I've been wondering about this for a while." Sona started, which caught his attention. "How do you feel about everyone?"
Lance looked at her with a slightly puzzled look, wondering what she meant about "everyone".
"Well, there is a lot of people that I know. Can you be a bit specific?"
"Right, I mean about Xenovia-san, Yumi-san, Jeanne-san, Yuuma-san, Irina-san, Onee-sama and…me."
Hearing the question answered caused Lance to make a bit of a surprised look, while it caught the attention of the three in the bushes.
"W-Well, that's a bit sudden," Lance said as he looked at the expression on Sona's face before he let out a slight sigh. "Where do I start? I guess I can start with Yumi-chan."
Taking note of her name being called Yumi's ears had perked.
"When I first met Yumi-chan it wasn't really anything about love or nothing like that since I was still an immature kid. Back then, I always felt that she really shined whenever she held a sword with such grace that it caught the attention of anyone who passed by. It would be rare to ever see her with anything other than a smile on her face. Whenever I saw her there would always be a crowd of girls who crowded around her asking for advice about their swordsmanship." Lance had listed out before blushing slightly about what he was about to say next. "Now, I think that she is just too beautiful for words, she's always kind to everyone and always tries to help her friends no matter what. And I know that I can count on her in any situation."
Hearing those words from Lance caused Yumi to blush a deep shade of red.
"Now about Jeanne-chan." Lance's words caught her attention. "She always so cheerful giving a bright saintly smile to anyone who's upset and tries to make them feel better. Jeanne-chan will always do whatever it takes to protect who's precious to her. I know if I never need anyone to pick me back up, then I can count on her. I'm also not afraid to admit that she is a combination of beautiful and cute."
Just like Yumi, Jeanne began to blush and smile.
"Now, what can I say about Yuuma-chan." Lance started. "I know that most people see her as some kind of terrifying girl who won't hesitate to take you out, but that's due to the fear of losing anyone important to her ever again. She carries a kind almost mothering trait most of the time to those in Grigori, I always hear about her assisting the sacred gear possessor in Grigori whenever they need anything or get caught in a bind. she's always telling Azazel off so that he won't do something that would end up getting him killed or in some situation that he can't get himself out of. I always thought that if she could get along with anyone then it would be Yumi-chan and Jeanne-chan."
It was true, she carried the same pain of losing a mother that both of them carried.
"As for Sera-tan. I can never tell what goes through her head most of the time, she can be a doting older sister who goes too far at one point, then an alluring older woman or even an individual who can resolve a situation when you can't think of anything else. I can actually see why she's in charge of foreign affairs."
Sona knew most of that already that her older sister was more than someone who can sometimes go a bit too far.
"I'll just be straightforward, I love Iri-chan. We always played together watched different tokusatsu programs and anime...well sometimes we did argue about which character was better. She is far purer than anyone I've ever met before and can become friends with anyone she meets. That is why I'll do everything I can to protect her."
The memories of when those two played together came back into his head; it was true that he held a deep amount of affection towards Irina even before meeting everyone else. This was a thing that everyone else knew, but that didn't stop them.
"What can I say about Xenovia?" Lance questioned as he thought about it, this also caught that attention of the bluenette in the bushes. "When I first met her, she was committed to her belief as an Exorcist and as a believer of our religion…though she did go a bit too far threatening Asia-chan, I also know that she isn't afraid of making a compromise when needed. I also find it cute when she has a hard time understanding the outside world, but she's learning at a steady pace and I can tell she enjoys being in Kuoh Town and has actually become great friends with Asia-chan. She's always the first to charge into a situation even if it's an opponent that's stronger than her. I know that she will be right there beside me in a fight."
Hearing that Xenovia had also blushed a bit, she then turned towards the two others with a look of shame appearing on her face. He had so much belief in all of them and would trust them to have his back.
"We should go now."
"Yea."
"Okay."
Both Yumi and Jeanne agreed with what Xenovia had suggested to them, so each of them had sneaked away from there without their presence being known. Allowing for them to continue their date without being spied on by either of them.
"And what about me?"
"What else can I say?" Lance questioned. "I always acknowledged and respected your intelligence, you're one of the only few people that I've ever met who can think through a difficult situation while keeping calm and cool. You can lead your peerage better than anyone and everyone in your peerage respects you. You're trying to better the future for those kids who were born into the lower-class...and I think you're really beautiful."
As she heard those words from Lance, Sona's cheeks started to turn bright red.
"L-Lance-kun, I-I—"
"If anyone were to ask me to chose from any of you, then I wouldn't be able to. I deeply care about each and every one of you." He admitted with a sincere smile on his face. "Which is why I am going to do this."
Sona looked at him with a somewhat confused look but stopped after he placed his hand on the side of her cheek. He leaned forward and captured her lips with his own. In response to this, her eyes widened ever so slightly, but she melted into the kiss with her eyes closed. The two of them stayed like that for a couple of minutes before they separated from one another.
"Th-That was…great." Sona stared at him with a smile on his face. "So does this mean that?"
"Yep, so do you want to continue with our date Sona-chan?"
"Yes."
She gave a straight answer as they both stood up and grasped one another's hands. The two of them continued on with their date for the rest of the day.
Within the Du Lac Residence, the three of then sat down in the living room watching a movie on the new model flat screen TV. Sitting next to them was a bowl of half eaten popcorn and almost an empty glass of soda on the table. One of them with tears rolling down her face was Jeanne who stared at the scene in front of her. Appearing on the screen was a young male dressed in a red suit with what appeared to be black lined spider webs on his suit; in his arms was a blonde haired young woman who became unresponsive. They were currently watching "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".
"*Sniff* *Sniff* Why did they do it? Why did they have to kill off Gwen?" Jeanne had cried. "She was such a great character."
Both Yumi and Xenovia couldn't help but agree with Jeanne, since the first movie she was assisting him after she found out his secret. Their relationship alone was something they enjoyed from their dialogue to their emotion for one another.
Open!
"Hey, guys I'm ba…awww is this the when…."
Lance said as he looked at the screen with Peter sitting in his room by himself mulling over the loss of his girlfriend. Just like them, it's something that got to him.
"*Sniff* He lost his uncle and now his girlfriend. Yet, he still chose to be Spider-man to keep their memories alive."
"It's so saddening."
Xenovia stated as she wiped away the tears that formed at the corner of her eyes. After recovering from their sadness, Lance looked towards everyone while letting out a cough.
"I just want to let you guys know that Sona-chan will be moving in." Lance had informed then as he looked at their expressions. "So we'll be helping her belongings into one of the rooms on the Third Floor."
"Actually, there will be two people moving in."
"Huh? Who's the second?"
"Yuuma."
Lance blinked a couple of time as he stared at the three woman in the room after having given him their answer. This was truly something that he never expected from them due to the…minor issues that they held with her.
"Okay, not that I'm not happy. But, why? I thought the three of you didn't get along with Yuuma-chan."
"Well, we may never get along if we never try. I never thought that I would ever get along with Devils, but now one of my best friends is one. So, I thought that it would be a great opportunity for us to attempt to befriend her."
"Besides I think that we will have some things in common with one another."
"Yea, it's not like it will hurt to try and get along. Especially since we will have to see her at school anyway."
Xenovia had given out her reasoning along with Jeanne and Yumi, which caused him to smile from the pride that he felt towards them.
"I'm happy to hear that from you girls. I really love you guys."
Unable to hold back on their feelings anymore, the three of them had rushed towards him and wrapped their arms around him.
[We love you too!]
The three of them called out with a bright smile on their face, though the force of having the three of them charge at him caused them to fall onto the ground. Despite the fact that the back of his head had hit the ground, Lance still wore a smile on his face. Today surely was an enjoyable one for the three of them.
Currently, in an unknown location somewhere in Japan, the current Head Paladin: Elaine Du Lac had been traveling through a forest for about three days. The person who she was looking for was an elusive individual who would rather spend most of his time by himself. This was something she could already tell from the barrier that he placed up around the area to keep humans even those from the supernatural from finding him.
"*Sigh* It took me forever to find this guy, he truly is an elusive person."
She let out a deep sigh as she brushed her brown hair behind her hair. Though she couldn't help but notice the cherry blossom that blew in the air. Such a peaceful feeling came over her. Elaine continued to head forward down the road in front of her. It took her only a couple of minutes before she arrived at her destination. In front of her was a flowing peaceful waterfall with a single shirtless male meditating with his eyes closed on the rock. He looked to be of Japanese decent with light-colored hair, his body looked to have been trained despite being lean. Moreover, despite his eyes being closed even an amateur could tell that there wasn't a single opening. By the clothes that rested on the ground away from the water, he appeared to be a samurai.
"I didn't need to open my eyes, I could tell from your beyond monstrous aura." His voice was calm almost as if there wasn't a single thing that could surprise him. "How many years as it been Elaine?"
"Hmmm, fifty or so years. You know it's nice for a man to hide from a lady."
"Maybe, but I know that you didn't track me down for just a chat."
"I guess that you can already sense the many disturbances that have been occurring lately. Since I know for certain that you've been bored for a while, I thought I'd give you the chance to get in on the action and maybe help the young ones at the Chivalric Order learn how to tap into and master their aura/ki." Elaine suggested with a smile on her face. "I can teach my grandchild the theories that Galahad and the Paladins came up with, but my talent really doesn't go so well with teaching it. So, I wanted to know if you wanted to become one of the new groups of Paladin that I've hand picked out."
Elaine had explained with the same smile on her face. Letting a sigh escape from his mouth, the male stopped his meditating and became to stand.
"Not that doesn't sound appealing, but I've never been one to just agree to something like that." The name declared as he held his hand out, the space in front of his hand began to distort until a single katana came from within it. "Without a little test first. War Goddess"
A dangerous yet calming pressure was being released from him; after sensing that Elaine couldn't help but smirk slightly from it.
"I wouldn't have expected anything else," Elaine said as she clenched her first, a dense red aura then surrounded her fist as she clenched it. "Especially from the current Kensei, Mifune Shūsaku."
Without making a single disturbance in the air, both of them charged at one another with speed that one would only call god-like. Both sword and fist clashed against one another. The air itself seemed to shake with every impact made by the two of them.
A/N: And there goes twenty-eighth chapter of The Magic Knight, it was a normal summer day for with without anything supernatural occurring. Everyone had their own good day with one another with Lance going on his date with Sona. While Xenovia, Yumi and Jeanne had their own day with them for a short time following them on their date; following with them hearing some things from Lance. It was revealed that the number of Paladins will be increased, but wonder who the rest will be. Elaine had found another recruit who she seems to already know.
Also, I made a mistake with the same of the dragon who inhabits Yuuma's sacred gear; since it's from Chinese Myth its name is supposed to be Qinglóng, not Seiryu. Also, the mistake made in Chapter 17 will be corrected.
PS: Sorry for the late update, some of the keys on my laptop won't work and so it had to use another computer to type this chapter up.
