A\N: Ah, finally a new chapter! Sorry for all yall who waited. School stuff... A big shout out to NGNL Wikia, for this the information in the story. ON TO THE STORY!

"Hey look its glasses girl," a classmate said to me

"Haha. With those ugly braids too! She's so uncute! Haha," his friends shouted back.

"P-Please leave me alone…" I whimpered.

"Leave you alone? Haha," the classmate exclaimed.

He grabbed one of my braids and pulled it up. I cried in pain.

"O-Ouch! Please! Let go," I screamed in pain.

"Haha," the classmate's friend laughed.

"Hey, let go," an unfamiliar voice was heard.

The classmate let go of my braid and I looked to see who saved me. It was Sora. He had a serious look on his face and he squeezed the classmate's wrist.

"I'll go tell the teacher," Sora smiled.

"A-Ah," the two boys ran.

I shivered and I fell down on my knees. Before my knees touched the ground, Sora caught me. I looked up at him and he gently smiled.

"Thank you," I said softly.

"No problem," he said.

The scene blurred. I closed my eyes and I find myself in a dark place. I walk around to find some light and I see Tet up ahead. He sat in mid air and waved. I walk towards him. He gestured me to sit and I did what he commanded me.

"How was your first day in Disboard," he asked.

I looked up, in deep thought and before I opened my mouth to say something Tet said something that made me blushed.

"How was the dream I had for you," he asked.

"Y-You," I stuttered.

"Hehe some things finally got even interesting because…"

"Because?"

"You like Sora don't you?"

He smiled and I blushed even more. Tet laughed and after awhile the atmosphere became more slient and solemn.

"Now, Yuuki, I have an urgent message to say," Tet said, with a serious tone.

I looked back at him and he had a serious face.

"What is it," I asked.

"It's the Old Deus," he said.

"Old Deus?"

"Yes. You don't know the Exceed yet?"

"No…"

He sighed and laid down on the floor. He waved one of his finger in front of him, in an infinity sign and the scene shifted to a night sky. The stars were scattered brightly all over the sky and the moon was the one who stood out. I looked around me. This was such a beautiful sight. I laid down to the sky. Tet continued to wave his finger, but in a lined motion. I looked back to the sky and 16 big stars were in a straight line.

"There are sixteen races of Disboard, "Tet started, "who the Ten Pledges apply to. They are ranked based on their affinity to magic, their reaction to Spirit Circuits. The Top 6 Races are classified as 'Life' (Seimei) while the Bottom 10 are identified as 'Creatures' (Seibutsu). The split between the Top 6 and the Bottom 10 races represent the difference of Heaven and Earth, as the Seimei are vastly more powerful that the Seibutsu. All races were created by the Old Deus, except for the Imanity. Now the ranks and their Race Piece:

1. Old Deus – Pawn

2. Phantasma – Pawn

3. Elemental – Pawn

4. Dragonia – Pawn

5. Gigant – Pawn

6. Flügel – Queen

7. Elf – Rook

8. Dwarf - Bishop

9. Fairy – Pawn

10. Ex-Machina – Bishop

11. Demonia – Pawn

12. Dhampir – Knight

13. Lunamana – Rook

14. Werebeast – Pawn

15. Seiren – Knight

16. Imanity – King

"But why," I asked.

"Why what?"

"Why are you warning me about Old Deus?"

"The Old Deus… Wants something from Imanity."

"What?"

The scene started to brighten up and Tet started to dissolve into pixels.

"Well, you have to find out. It's time! I'll see you next time," he smiled.

Everything was bright and the scene cleared to my room in the castle. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. It was morning. I got out of bed and did my normal morning routine. When I was on my way to the bathroom, I find Shiro at the back of me. I was covered in just a towel so I back away from her a little.

"G-Good Morning Shiro…" I say.

She scared me a little. She still had a sleepy face and I snickered.

"Good… Morning… Yuuki…" she sleepily said.

We both walked to the bathroom and I walked into the hot bath. I see Jibril, Steph, Kurami, and Fi in the corner of my eye. Steph was cleaning her hair and Jibril washed the soap off her body. Kurami and Fi relaxed in the pool. Once Jibril saw me she flies directly at me.

"Yuuki," she exclaimed.

She carried a bottle of shampoo and tubes wiggled out. I stood back, with a horrified expression. The tubes wrapped around my body.

"Now don't worry… Yuuki… I'm just going to… Examine… You…" she breathily said.

The wriggled her hands towards me and I screamed.

We all finally went out of the bath and Jibril had a big bump from head by Shiro. We all walk to the meeting table and I see Sora alone playing his game on his game consol. He stops once he sees us. We sit at the table and Sora immediately puts his legs on the table. He weaved his hands together and rested his chin on them. He had a serious look on his face.

"Now, today's topic is… Old Deus." he said.

"Hm… Old Deus is now upon us. We need to think of a strategy," Kurami said.

"We need research first," Shiro said.

"We'll look for information," Sora said.

We all nodded.

"We need to win… because..." Sora trailed off.

He suddenly stood on top of the toble and pointed up.

"The girls over there are waiting for me," he exclaimed.

My eye twitched and I slammed the table with the palm of my hands. I stood up and pulled on Sora's ankle. He fell down and shook in pain.

"Sora… Do you have any idea… How irritating when all you think about is girls," I angrily say.

He scarily cries and I hunch over him. I gave him a fake, irritated smile, and threw him to the corner.

"Reflect on your mistakes," I say.

"Y-Yes," he stutters.

I sigh and sat back in my seat.

"Anyway about this Old Deus… Did we challenge them," I ask.

"Yup," Steph said.

"First of all, what is the game?"

"Hmm… That is not classified yet."

"All we can do now is research… When we know the challenge we can think of the strategy and who will participate."

They all nod and a guard of the castle barged in.

"The Old Deus… Leader… Is Here…." He huffed.

I stood up and see a slender man, in formal suit. He had a cane in his hand and monocle on his left eye. The chain was attached to his ear. He had long black hair, that was tied in a low ponytail and cold bark brown eyes. He looked to be in his twenties… or probably older… He bowed and looked up to me.

"Nice to meet you… I am Lui, Leader of Old Deus," the man said gently.

He walked up to me and held my hand to his lips. He gently kissed the tips of my fingers and I blush. I forcedly walk back and he has a surprised face.

"Well I didn't imagine you to be so formal," Sora says.

I look at Sora who was right beside me. He looked to be in his "mode".

"Ah, you're the King on Elkia, Sora," Lui said.

"Yes," Sora said firmly.

Lui looked back at me.

"My deepest apologies, I do not know you're name," Lui smiles.

"Yuuki…" I trail off.

"Ah, Yuuki… A perfect name for a lovely girl."

He walked closely to me, but Sora swiftly in front of me. I look at Sora, shocked. Was he protecting me?

"I think we need to talk alone."

I knew Lui was irritated but his expression didn't show. He just smiled.

"Ah, I don't think I have enough time. Oh well. I will have to go. Goodbye Yuuki," he said. He reached for my hand again, but Sora grabbed his wrist up. It was just like that time… when we were little...

"I don't think you'll have business with her," Sora says.

"Fine. Have it your way," Lui says.

Lui takes his glove off and showed his Race Piece.

"I will bet my Race Piece," he says.

"And I will bet mi-" Sora gets cut off.

"Ah, I wasn't finshed yet. I will bet my Race Piece for her," Lui says as he points at me.

I open my eyes in surprise and I am too frozen to say anything.

"And what if I decline," Sora asks.

"Hm… You'll never have any contact Old Deus again. Say goodbye to your goal getting my Race Piece," Lui teasingly says.

"Wa-" I say.

"Fine. I'll bet Yuuki and you will bet your Race Piece," Sora says.

I look at Sora. I can't believe he would let me go. I look down at the floor, telling myself not to cry.

"I look forward to our challenge," Lui smiles.

He leaves the castle and I fall to my knees. I cover my eyes with my hands. Sora crouches down and I push him away.

"Idiot! Why the hell would you bet me," I shout at him.

I cry and and wipe away my tears will my sleeve. He pats my head and I stop crying to look at Sora.

"Don't worry I'm going to protect you no matter what," he says, with a determined tone.

He pulls me in for an embrace and I fall into his arms. My face is pressed onto his chest and I fiercely blush. I calm down and I clench the back of his shirt.

"You better keep your word," I say to him.
