Chapter 5 Family rival bet
Kurono, Stella, And Joshua were making there way to their dorm, Stella just kept glancing at her families rival heir. 'To be in the same room as my enemy! This is outrageous!' She thought. Joshua glanced at Stella as he smiled at her, Making her look away from him.
The three then stopped at their dorm as Kurono pointed at the roommate names on the side of the door.
"You see?" Kurono said, That's when Stella raised her hand "I have a question. Students on the same level become roommates, Right? Then why is Gekkage in the same room with me? I'm Rank A and he's-".
"I'm an S-Rank" Joshua said.
"What!? That's impossible! Their is no S-Rank, You idiot!" Stella shouted at him. Joshua placed his index finger into his right ear, "Christ! Could you be anymore louder, Vermillion?" He said. Kurono smiled as she spoke up.
"Actually miss Vermillion, My nephew is telling the truth" she said "He is in fact, An S-Rank knight".
Joshua smirked "You bet! My superpower is crystal manipulation, And my magical power is actually...well...unlimited..." He said as he rubbed the back of his head. Stella almost face faulted, Her rival was able to control Crystal magic, A legendary magic that would make any blazer jealous. But not only that, He also had unlimited magic as well.
'Damn, Gekkage!' Stella thought with anger.
"Joshua's other ability scores are also at the highest level, And he got many nicknames as a result: the Crystal knight, The ivory King, The legendary one, Iron Crystal blood, The list goes on" Kurono said "literally, He's the ultimate knight in history".
Stella just looked at Joshua "The legendary one" she said with bitterness in her tone.
Kurono then took the name tags off of the side of the dorm wall. "And this is exactly the answer to your question. There's no one else who's as legendary as Gekkage. And there's no one else who's as superior as Vermillion. That's why" she said.
"Sounds cool with me, I'm down! How about you roommate buddy?" Joshua said with a wide smile on his face.
"B-b-but what if some mistake happens?" Stella shouted.
Kurono was now curious at her statement. "Oh? What kind of mistake?" She asked. Joshua then looked at Stella as he was now curious as well. "Oh yes, By all means. I'm all ears to hear about this mistake. I bet it has a safe word" he teased.
Stella glared at Joshua before turning her attention back to Kurono. "W-well, That's..." Stella said before Kurono spoke, "There are other male and female students who are paired up" she said "If you don't like it, You can quit".
Joshua crossed his arms "Like hell I'd quit!" He said "But if the fire cunt wants to leave, Then that's all fine and dandy with me".
Stella quickly glared at Joshua as she then placed her hands on her hips "Okay, I'll do it. But...if we're going to live in the same room, I have three conditions".
"Oh...didn't know I had to fill out a survey as a bonus" Joshua said a he placed his hands in his pockets. "So, What are they?".
"Don't talk to me".
"Okay".
"Don't open your eyes".
"Wait what?".
"Don't breathe".
"Go fuck yourself! I'll only follow 1 out of 3 of those rules, Vermillion!" Joshua said. Stella was losing her temper with him. "Damn you, Gekkage! If you can keep to the rules, Then you can live in the front of the room!" She said. Joshua twitched at her comment.
"Die in a fire! You're telling me that I'm not even allowed to stay in the room!?".
"What, You mean to tell me that the legendary one of the Gekkage royal family can't do it?" Stella said. Joshua gritted his teeth at her, "it's not that I can't, It's that I refuse to! And I'm gonna breathe you stupid bitch!".
"I won't let you!" Stella said "You're thinking about smelling me, Aren't you, Pervert!?". Joshua facepalmed "Fine, I'll breathe through my mouth" he said.
Stella shook her head at him.
"No! You're thinking about tasting the air I exhaled, Aren't you, Pervert!?".
"Oh my god, Quit being a cunt!".
"I'm not a cunt! If you don't like it, Then quit the school!".
"I'm seriously thinking about bitch slapping the shit of out you right about now!".
"Figures! All Gekkages are perverts and Tyrants!".
Joshua took a deep breath as he played with the wolf head on his collar, Stella then placed her hand over his hand.
"And stop wearing this stupid thing!" She demanded. Joshua's eyes widened as he slapped her hand off of his as he backed up a bit. Stella just looked at him as she got angry. "What the hell!? You're now going to attack me and ravish my body for your gratification, Aren't you, Pervert!?" She said.
Joshua just glanced at his neck "Don't you ever place your hand on my collar. That is my number one biggest rule, Do you understand, Vermillion?" He said. Stella and Kurono just looked at him, Kurono began to ponder a bit.
'What's so special about that collar? I should ask my nephew as soon as possible' she thought. Stella just huffed. "Why? What's so great about a stupid hunk of metal? It's not like it's worth anything!?" She said.
"You wouldn't understand...you could never understand how much my life depends on this thing. I used to hate it as a kid! But as I got older, This collar became a part of me. It's the only thing that's keeping me going".
"That makes no sense!" Stella said.
"Okay okay, Calm down. Both of you" Kurono said "Chivalry is about deciding your own destiny with your sword. Isn't it?". Stella and Joshua just looked at her.
"You saying that we should let our abilities speak, Aunite?" Joshua said.
Kurono nodded at her nephew. "That I am" she said "You can do a mock battle, And whoever wins gets to decide the rules in your room".
Stella glanced at Joshua who nodded at the idea, "That sounds good and fair" he said "We should do that, You up for a bit of fun. Vermillion?".
"What? You're a knight of S-Rank" Stella said as she smirked "Excuse me for being so blunt with you, Gekkage, But even with your high rank. There's no way you have the experience to beat me who's Rank A".
Joshua shrugged at her "With a battle, You never know the result until we actually do it" he said as he placed his hand over his collar.
"Besides...I'm trying my best to control what's trying to destroy me from within. I've been working hard for a long time and...". Stella gritted her teeth in anger as she cut him off.
"Alright, I'll do it, That match" she said "But if that's the case, It's not the rules of the room that's on the table anymore".
"I'm not following ya, Fire flakes" Joshua said.
"Humph! Typical. The Gekkage are known to be somewhat slow in the head" she said "So I'll save you the trouble and be blunt; The loser will obey the winner for the rest of his life! And no matter how humiliating, He must become the servant who follows orders like a dog!".
Joshua just blinked at her as he chuckled a bit at her, "Wow that's brutal..." He said "But that sounds-".
That's when Stella stomped over to him.
"And. You. Lose. The. Collar as a bonus! You got that!? That means it goes! No matter what!".
Joshua's hair shadowed his eyes as he tightened his fists, That's when a very tiny black flame produced on his shoulder. Kurono was able to see it.
'Joshua...wait! That's...but how is he controlling it? I thought he couldn't master his darkness magic...' Kurono thought as she placed her hand on her nephews shoulder.
"Joshua, Calm down. You don't-".
"Never..." Joshua said darkly "I'll be your servant for life and that's it! But I'll never and I mean NEVER take off my collar for anything! You got that!?".
Stella just kept her glare on him.
"You will take it off when I beat you, Even if I have to burn it off of your neck...".
"Do that, And I'll rip your throat out with a crystal spike!".
"A Gekkage who harbors a dog collar as if his life depends on it".
Joshua glared at her more.
"You don't know the half of it, Fire cunt!" He said.
"It's settled then" Kurono said "An hour from now, We'll begin a mock battle at the forth training field!".
The two Blazers looked at each other, Joshua then turned and walked away as Kurono follows him. Stella just kept her glare on him.
"A Gekkage dog and his collar...how simple minded" she said to herself.
Joshua and Kurono were making their way to the fourth training field, Kurono then leaned over to her nephews ear. "Joshua, We need to talk. I saw a bit of your darkness...".
"I know..." Joshua quickly said "You need to know why I hold this collar in such high regard, Aunite".
