Chapter 3- Shadow of Alfea
"Talking"
(Thinking)
"Spells"
"Spirits or gods or demon speaking"
"headmistress" shouted Griselda
"Yes Griselda?" asked Faragonda
"I just wanted to Inform you that the new students are arriving today afternoon." Said, Griselda
"Thank you is there anything else?" asked Faragonda
"Yes, there is it seems that the labor will not be finished until next month and also it seems that Princess Stella is coming this year again, are you sure we should let her attend. I mean its thanks to her that the labor exploded and now unusable" said Griselda
"*sigh* I understand even if the curriculum falls behind a bit I am sure that we will manage, and the topic with Princess Stella. I think that everyone deserves a second chance don´t you think so, Griselda?" asked the Headmistress with a gentle voice.
"Yes I Understand," said Griselda with a defeated tone
"Great now if you will excuse me I still have paperwork to do" said Faragonda with a light glare at the paper.
"Of course I will see you then at the ceremony" and with that Griselda went out of the office.
Faragonda leaned back in the chair and let out a long breath.
"That sure was close," said A voice right next to the doors.
Faragonda smiled and looked to the right of the door.
"Naruto what did I say about lying" scolded Faragonda her only grandchild
"ahhh hehe sorry." Laughed Naruto sheepishly
"I am sure you have sensed her the moment she went upstairs, " said Faragonda with a smirk
"hehe you got me"
"But you know what?" asked Faragonda
"What is it granny?" asked Naruto
"I know you so long and yet I can´t figure out why are you protecting this girl. Don´t tell me you have fallen in love with her" joked Faragonda
"Who? Stella? Nah I am not in love with her but…" began Naruto
"but what?" asked Faragonda
Naruto looked at her with a fond smile
"I can´t really explain. I just have this feeling that I have to protect no matter what" said Naruto looking at his closed fist.
"Fine but Naruto you have to be careful you know when…" began Faragonda but was interrupted by Naruto
"I know. If anybody knows what I am then my life would change forever."
"Yes, you being the first and only one of your kind I am sure that many countries would go to war because of you."
"I know after all I am the first male Fairy in the history of Fairies." Said Naruto
For a moment there was a silence before it was again broken by Faragonda
"And how is your training going Naruto?" asked his Grandmother
"No so good. Most of the basic spells like transforming or barriers are going well but if you ask me about my powers it´s horrible. I can´t even control it properly and that's when I am not in my Fairy form and if I am in my fairy form my powers go out of control and burn anything down in a radius of 10 meters." sighted Naruto while explaining
"I see. I am sure you will be alright everybody has to start from zero, it´s just that you take a little longer" said Faragonda
"pff longer. Try 5 years." Countered Naruto
"I am sure…" began Faragondda but was interrupted again
"save it, grandma. We both know what kind of power I possess" shouted Naruto
"Naruto," said Faragonda softly before she stood up and went to him.
Naruto prepared himself for a slap but it never came instant he felt the warmth. The warmth when somebody is hugging you.
"Naruto my little boy.." began Faragonda
"I am not little" whispered Naruto
His grandmother giggled a little at that.
" Naruto look into my eyes. Naruto do you remember what I said that night when you have awoken your powers" asked Faragonda
Naruto nodded.
Flashback
Faragondas POV
I was waiting for Naruto to return. It was getting late and I began to worry but just as I was to go and find him I sensed someone on my balcony. Going out I saw a sight that I never believed to ever see. It was a fairy normally nothing strange after all this was a school for you fairies but this one wasn´t female. It was a male. A male fairy. Would somebody tell her that they saw one she would worry about their sanity but now she might be the one going insane? But there was something else. The power that was radiating from the fairy was massive but also dark and taunted. As I was studying the Fairy I heard him talk.
"Sorry grandma for being late," said the mysterious fairy
(Grandma? NARUTO!) As I realized who this person was he was already falling so I quickly took hold of him.
" You are full of surprises huh Naruto"
With that, I took him to his room.
After a few minutes, I could hear how he was waking up.
"urgh what hit me?" asked Naruto
"It seems that you have awakened"
"huh? Grandma?"
"I know the feeling. When you transform for the first time into your fairy form its draining"
"Fairy form? Oh yeah right, but how is this possible I thought only females could be Fairies but I also am one so how?"
"I do not know Naruto but I am sure we can find something out"
"you know what´s wrong don´t you," asked Naruto with narrowed eyes
"huh, what do you.."
"don´t play dumb I know you and also I know when you are hiding something"
"*sigh* I can´t really hide anything from you huh?"
"Nope" grinned Naruto
"you are half right I have a theory but it's not something you might like."
"I don´t care"
"very well how much do you know about the creation of our universe"
"just that some dragon created it with his fire"
"ok that dragon is also called the great dragon and he was the one that gave life but what did I tell you about balance"
"where good is, is also bad or something"
"*chuckling* you are right but what is the opposite of given?"
"taking but what has this to do with me being a fairy"
"patient Naruto. Hust like I said If the great dragon created the universe wouldn´t there be an opposite."
"you mean a dragon that should destroy the universe," asked Naruto I nodded.
"Or generally destroying. I think that you have the power of the second dragon Naruto it would explain why you a male can be a fairy because your power is not coming like all fairies power from the great dragon but from the secondary dragon. You are our counterpart Naruto"
"but that would mean I am a bad person because I have this cursed power. I am cursed to destroy I am cursed." Ranted Naruto.
"No, you are not Naruto. Remember this, Power is neither good or bad it depends on who uses this power and I know that you are a good person so never ever think of yourself as cursed. Okay?"
Naruto just nodded.
I smiled at him. "Now how does pizza and Ice cream sound?"
Naruto just grinned
End of POV
Flashback end
Naruto smiled at his grandmother and hugged her back
"Yes I do" replied Naruto
"Great now off you go I have to do paperwork" shushed him Faragonda.
"Okay by grandma" shouted Naruto as he went to his room.
Walking through the corridors he decided to take a walk through the woods.
As he was walking through the woods he caught something in the corner of his eyes.
(Stella but what is she doing here) thought Naruto as he decided to follow her
Coming to a clearing he saw her taking out her ring and transforming it into a staff with a circle on top of it with a moon and sun flames around it. He also saw her transform into her fairy form before she cast a spell and vanished. Luckily for Naruto, he was able to hear it.
"Earth huh never been there before" whispered Naruto to no one
Naruto decided to follow Stella used a trace spell and then a transport magic in order to send him to where Stella was.
Arriving on earth the first thing he noticed was that he was in some kind of a park. Out of habit, Naruto used an invisible spell to hide. As he cast the spell he noticed how his powers were calmer and he felt he had more control over them. Making a mental note he made his way to where he sensed Stella.
When he arrived he could already go rampage. There he saw Stella laying on the ground probably wounded surrounded by ghouls and an Orc.
Just as he wanted to jump in and save her he heard somebody.
"Stop it!" shouted an orange haired girl
And everybody halted.
They looked at the person who arrived. It was a girl around16 years old and had orange hair. She was also pretty, no she was
"Beautiful" whispered Naruto. But shacked his remembering that she won´t be beautiful anymore if she didn´t get away. As he was to resume his action before the girl arrived he was yet again surprised when the girl cast a barrier and by the look of it a strong one. She herself was apparently surprised by what she did. But Stella was the first one to get out of her shock before she used her magic and beat up the ghouls but somehow the orc got away.
After the whole ordeal, Stella passed out
"probably used too much magic" whisper Naruto to himself.
He also saw how the other girl took her and brought her to her home.
Naruto wanted to jump down and see if she was alright but remembered what his grandma said.
"Never reveal yourself unless it´s necessary"
With that in mind, he created a pitch black mask from his dark flames put it on and went after the mysterious girl and Stella.
Line break
Arriving at the house of the girl he saw how the girl tried to explain what happened but failed.
Going in he hid himself in the shadows of the house and observed. He saw how Stella woke up he saw ho the girl who he found out was named Bloom tried to explain how Stella was able to use magic. Her parents not believing her tried to call the police but were stopped when Stella turned the phone into a carrot. After the display, they both began to accept the fact that Stella was a fairy. Stella then explained how Bloom was also a fairy and after few minutes of explaining both girls wet upstairs and Naruto followed them. But this is where he made a mistake. Upon entering the room a binding barrier formed around him forcing him to his knees.
"so I was wondering who was following me It turns out it's the famous shadow of Alfea," said Stella with a sweet smile.
"Shadow of Alfea?" asked Bloom
"Yeah, he is the left hand of the headmistress every time when a job is too dangerous for the students he takes them. He also keeps everyone in line he is very famous but the thing is nobody knows who he is and what he looks like that's why is called the shadow of Alfea. You don´t see him but you know that he is there watching you he is like our personal police." Explained Stella
Bloom stared at him with awe. If what Stella said was true then he is a big player in the other world.
"You know we could be the first people to know how he looks like. I bet he is really ugly that's why he is hiding his face." Laughed Stella
Naruto gained a twitch mark but said nothing.
Just as Stella wanted to remove the mask they heard a scream.
" MOM" shouted Bloom and run downstairs.
Stella sighed and went after her leaving Naruto still bounded
( She could at least unbound me) thought Naruto who let his magic puls and watched how the barrier shattered.
"Now that this is taken care of I should probably see how they are doing," said Naruto still a little bit annoyed.
As he went downstairs he saw how Stella was fighting against the orc from before and a troll. And It seems that Stella was losing the battle he also heard sounds from outside but decided to help Stella first. So he jumped at the down from the stairs and delivered a roundhouse kick to the troll and sent him through the window. Then he went straight to the orc with a powerful punch and sent him through the wall. As he was standing there he turned his head behind to see Stella looking at him with awe. No matter what she may think of him even she has to admit that he looks badass right now. The moment was destroyed however when they heard another scream. Both sprinted outside only see Bloom failingly trying to fight the Troll.
"Aren´t you going to help her?" asked Stella
Naruto sprang into action without wasting a second more.
It seems that the troll hasn´t sensed him or wasn´t able to react because in a few seconds the troll was on the ground unconscious.
And just like before but this time it was Bloom who looked at him with aww.
Naruto stretched out his hand without saying anything. Bloom hastily took his hand and with a pull, she was again on her feet.
Naruto then turned around and handed her a letter. Stella took it and read it.
Don´t be late for the ceremony.
Ps. Bring Bloom with you and say that she entered the school with my approval
Stella´s eyes widened themselves and she looked up he was gone.
"Man just when I had the chance to see his face they had to appear. Speaking of where is the orc" asked Stella
Somewhere others
"Knut where is the ring," asked one of the three mysterious persons
" I had him but then somebody came and took us all out" explained the orc
"Who could that be" asked another one
" I don´t know the fairy I was after called him the shadow of Alfea," said Knut
"The shadow! What the hell was he doing there" exclaimed the last person
"I don´t know" answered Knut
"Ahhhh we were so close and then this had to happen"
Back with Stella and Bloom
As the girls were talking a portal suddenly formed and out came five people wearing some sort of uniform
"Uh who are you?" asked Bloom
"This my friend are the Specialist" explained Stella
" The what?"
"The specialist, we are from the red fountain school and are trained in fighting monsters" explained the guy with shoulder-length hair charmingly.
"Hi I am Brandon" introduced Brandon himself
"I am Timmy," said a person with brown hair and glasses
"what´s up, my name is sky"
Bloom then looked at the last member
"Tch, Riven"
"Don´t mind him he is always so" explained Brandon
"Sooo we heard that some monster where here "began sky
"You mean the one behind you," asked Stella with a smirk
She knew that these guys prided themselves on such things.
Sky looked behind him only to see a tied up Troll
"yep"
Stella was a little disappointed that they didn´t show that they were bested even if it was someone else who took out the Troll.
"Come on guys let´s take him back," said Brandon
And with that, they took the troll and vanished into the portal again.
"I hope they make him pay," said Stella with a look that scared Bloom a little bit
"Why did he do something to you," asked Bloom
"yeah because of him I was unable to see the face of the Shadow." Shouted Stella
Bloom just laughed awkwardly.
Stella pouted and crossed her Arms. She looked like a child that didn´t get his sweets.
Up in the tree sat Naruto who was listening and watching what they were doing. He snickered when He saw Stella pouting.
"You still have a lot to learn and a lot to see before you can pull a stunt on me
