Darkness surrounded Tsukune's vision, as he was blindfolded being led by Moka.
"Can I take it off now?" Tsukune asked seeing he hit a side of a wall for the third time.
"Almost Tsukune, just wait a little bit longer." Moka said as she accidentally bumped him in to another corner.
Hearing a door open up, Tsukune was readying himself for whatever awaited him, after all why would Moka ask him to wear a blindfold? The two came to a sudden stop, letting Tsukune take a moment before asking Moka again,
"Now?" Tsukune asked patiently waiting for his hopeful answer.
"Alright, you can take it off now." Moka said while pushing him into the doorway.
The white blindfold began to unravel around Tsukune's head, blinding light hit his vision seeing the sun's light burst through room's window. Tsukune's eyes began to reconcentrate seeing it was his room decorated for a celebration, occupied by his friends.
"Surprise!" A Majority of the room shouted at Tsukune, which left his face to form a smile.
"Wow... thanks guys this party... thank you all."
"Well this party should've happened a month ago, after we saved Earth from harassment and torture of the Necromancer Order, may it's failure send a message to those who would play the foul arts against those who are just." Alexis told Tsukune as she gave him a plastic red cup full of carbonated fruit punch.
Michael raised a glass to Tsukune standing up from the desk he's taken a custom to sit upon.
"To Tsukune, without you Earth would be a plaything for the Necromancers, may all enemies in your path fall before your courageous spirit and may the Great Darkness tremble before your might."
Soon after Michael's congratulatory comment for Tsukune, the room shouted raising their glasses to Tsukune shouting "To Tsukune!".
"Speaking of celebration, Michael managed to convince me into getting you this..." Alexis pulls out a package covered in black wrapping paper with a red bow, labeled To: Tsukune.
Tsukune quickly began unwrapping the package opening up he saw a similar attire what Michael and Alexis were wearing, black robe with a cloak and hood.
"If you're going to play the part, you might as well wear the uniform too." Michael stated, leaving Tsukune to look at the uniform imagining himself in it.
"I'm going to go try this on... I'll be right back."
Tsukune entered his restroom putting the box by the sink he began to strip from his attire replacing it with the uniform. After he finished getting dressed, he looked at himself in the mirror, fixing his gloves with hand protectors guarding the top of his hands.
Exiting the bathroom Tsukune saw his friends give him different excited or amazed expressions as he was now in the Guardian uniform.
"Impressive you wear it well for a Warlord class... but you're missing something... ah your sword."
Tsukune strapped the sheathed Elder Blood blade on his back.
"What's a Warlord class?" Tsukune asked tightening the strap across his chest.
"It's a class before Guardian, basically Warlords have to take the oath of service to the Guardian Council to become a Guardian class, therefore you're a classified as a Warlord class." Michael stated as he observed, Tsukune's uniform.
"So how does it fit?" Alexis asked, seeing Tsukune checking out his uniform.
"It's feels a little heavy..." Tsukune answered feeling weight be pressed up against his arms and legs.
"Should be expected those clothing are basically weighted, they help you train as you walk, it'll start to feel lighter as you break in to those." Michael answered Tsukune seeing Tsukune stretch his arms to get used to the weighted clothing.
"So will I have to take the Oath of Service... I mean how does it work?" Tsukune asked sitting on his bed looking at Alexis and Michael.
"Well before you take the Oath of Service to advance your class, you're going to be trained to meet the qualifications so you don't die on your first assignment... and to become a Guardian you must take the Oath of Service in the presence of a Guardian by said Guardian, Alexis will have to do it, since I'm technically still dead in the Guardian Council's eyes, I have yet to reveal myself to them..."
The risks Tsukune was willing to take to keep his home safe from threats abroad, hopefully he'll be able to stay on Earth to protect his home and the people that he has come to care for.
"If we weren't so desperate to prevent the coming of the Great Darkness, I'd have Alexis take you under her wing, not saying that you're a bad mentor Alexis, it's just we can't take it easy on Tsukune, so you'll be under my wing starting next week I'll get you through the basic training for skills and survival techniques to keep you afloat."
Most of the Occupants in the room were sort of surprised hearing Michael would train him.
"Wait you're going to train me?" Tsukune asked seeing as he thought Alexis would train him.
"Train you? No, I'll break you before I train you, the Guardians who I trained Alexis being one of them went through vigorous orientation, so I could weed out the weak and incompetent. The training I put through my followers is bordering on Dark Guardian Methods, so to be frank the training will be brutal, but it will help you in surviving in combat, while turning the battle around to your advantage." Michael explained in a emotionless tone.
Tsukune swallowed dry saliva imagining what he'd have to do during the Orientation, what would he have to do, forget the training! Would he even survive the Orientation?!
"What if I fail the orientation?" Tsukune asked with a little hesitation in his voice.
"Then I will break you further to make sure you do pass, I will not allow failure in my training, you failing means I fail as a Mentor."
Tsukune felt like a nervous wreck, up until Kurumu grabbed Tsukune's left hand with her right standing right by him.
"Then I'll take the training with him!" Kurumu shouted at Michael, holding Tsukune's hand tight.
Hearing that the room's eyes locked on to Kurumu who's face was confident, ready to face anything Michael threw at her and Tsukune. Michael's expression did not change, he just stared at her. Seconds later Mizore quickly followed, then Moka and Ruby.
"Count me in too!" Yukari shouted jumping on Moka's back.
"Hey don't leave me hanging!" Gin said putting his glass down.
Everyone expected Nick to join in too, though he took another drink from his glass before looking at the group.
"I'm good thanks, I have Military experience up the yin yang so." Nick told the others while crushing his glass tossing the cup perfectly into the trash can on the other side of the room.
Michael looked at the group now standing with Tsukune, crossing his arms across his chest.
"You all realize that only he can become a Guardian, so taking my training you won't be able to apply... but I guess my training will help you survive... very well, though please keep this in mind... I will not show mercy, I will make you wish that you walked away right now."
None of them moving, Michael unfolded his arms seeing they weren't leaving.
"Fine... Steel yourselves, for this will not be easy on your bodies." Michael stated as he sat back on the desk.
Gin cleared his throat gaining the attention of his friends.
"So, I've pulled some strings with the board of activities, and since our newspaper was run down by the Safety Commission, it'll take a few days to get our club back up in running so... incase our club doesn't, well it would be best to search for a temporary club until we're back up to operational status."
Sour memory started to return to Tsukune and the others, remembering their paper being run out of the school, by the Safety Commission. The party continued for several more hours, it ended with a cake Kurumu baked for the party, Michael remained distant with the group just watching them as they had their fun at the ending of the party, shortly after Michael excused himself from the room through the window disappearing in the darkness of the night. Alexis soon left with Yukari who knocked herself out from the time of the hour. Nick left with another slice of cake, followed by Gin who yawned as he waved goodbye.
Tsukune removed his black cloak of his black Guardian attire, putting it on the back of his desk chair. Tsukune turned around seeing Moka, Mizore, Kurumu, and Ruby no longer present in the room. Falling back on his bed, Tsukune breathed a sigh of relief. Opening his eyes as he rested on his bed he began to wonder how this was going to pan out. In truth Tsukune was worried about his friends joining this 'training'. Tsukune's eyelids became heavy, slowly he began to fade out. All of a sudden his bathroom door opened up, making Tsukune jump to his feet. Tsukune's guard dropped when he saw Kurumu, Mizore, Moka, and Ruby walk out of his bathroom, dressed in their sleeping attire.
Tsukune was completely dumbstruck seeing each of them carrying their blankets and pillows setting them around Tsukune's room, to be exact near his bed.
Wait... what's going on? ….
"Since the others left I think it's about time we had my special batch of cupcakes I cooked up just for us!" Kurumu announced pulling up a plate of cupcakes with only enough for three people. Kurumu however had another plate with two cupcakes, one had chocolate icing with sprinkles, while the second one had the same style except with blue icing.
Kurumu handed Tsukune the chocolate one while her eyes were on the others, seconds later once Ruby, Mizore, and Moka ingested the cupcakes, they dropped to the floor, causing Tsukune to freak out.
"Yes! It worked!" Kurumu shouted jumping on to Tsukune.
"Kurumu... What?!"
"I drugged their cupcakes with a sleep induced spell, so that we could have that private party..."
*pshaiw iwack wicktak iroal bis ro soib aibia wo rovi boska tuvo*
What is with that whispering? and what the hell does that even mea-
An explosion happened by the window causing the occupants in the room to be thrown against the wall opposite side of room.
What the Fuck?!
Tsukune couldn't see a thing through this black smoke in his room, Tsukune fell over Moka's body. Quickly thinking of the danger he removed Moka's Rosary unsealing her power.
"Tsukune! *Cough* Are you alright?!" Kurumu shouted from the bathroom.
Inner Moka dusted the building dust off of her, while giving off a cough.
"Succubus when this is over, we're going to have a long talk about you drugging me!" Moka yelled out, to Kurumu.
Several needles hit Tsukune throwing him against his door, followed by a pair of black boots hitting his stomach, sending Tsukune flying through the door. Hitting the wall outside of his room a hooded female figure with necromancer attire, picked Tsukune up against the wall punching him repeatedly in the face. Moka and Kurumu charged the Female Necromancer striking her in the back, the Necromancer exploded into a dark cloud appearing right behind the two, drawing her dual wielding daggers. Tsukune quickly summoned his sword to him striking her mid abdomen kicking her back in the room.
A thundering shot echoed the hall striking Tsukune in the chest sending him on to the floor, followed by the sound of pump from a shotgun. Tsukune got to his feet quickly seeing another Necromancer armed with a shotgun approaching, followed by another shot sending Tsukune on his back. Moka quickly grabbed Tsukune bringing him in to his room. Kurumu was tied up at the moment with the Female Necromancer struggling over her blade. Another Necromancer in a black steel armor hopped in the room grabbing the unconscious Mizore on the floor holding a blade up to her neck, getting Tsukune's attention immediately.
"Drop your weapon now!" The Necromancer Knight ordered, Tsukune.
Once chance I hope this works!
Tsukune took a deep breath while looking at both Mizore and the Necromancer Knight.
"Iiz, Slen, Nus! " Tsukune shouted at the two causing the Necromancer Knight's eyes to widen as he was hit with a frozen shout, Mizore immediately woke up feeling the ice effect while the Necromancer Knight dropped to the floor like a brick. "I'm up!" Mizore shouted feeling refreshed.
"Mizore make a barrier at the doorway!" Tsukune yelled as he kicked the Female Necromancer out the hole in the window.
Mizore immediately summoned an ice barrier, stopping the Necromancer armed with a shotgun, however it didn't dissuade him from wasting time, aiming at the barrier, he fired a shell shattering the barrier. Moka quickly grabbed the shotgun moving it up while the Necromancer unholstered his revolver. Moka tried to grab his other hand with her right, but this Necromancer was slowly moving the revolver to her head. Tsukune moved in punching the Necromancer on the side of his head stunning him, however he just quickly grabbed both of Moka's and Tsukune's necks letting his weapon hit the ground.
Both Moka and Tsukune clocked the Necromancer through his hood hitting him in the jaw, though their attacks were effective his hands remained around their necks tightening it. A crystallized ice blade appeared through the chest of the Necromancer with Mizore behind him holding her summoned blade.
"Get your fucking hands off of my boyfriend..." Mizore said with a his as she twisted the blade causing him to let go of Moka and Tsukune. Feeling successful Mizore pried the blade out, waiting for the Necromancer to drop, unexpectedly he turned around grabbing Mizore by the throat catching her off guard.
Tsukune and Moka had enough of this, with Kurumu moving in on their flank, the three charged the Necromancer. Popping could be heard from the Necromancers body, a sound so familiar to Tsukune that his eyes shot open in fear. Several hundred pieces of bone fragments hit the group causing rapid explosions throwing everyone around.
Necromancers can't do that!
A spear pierced Tsukune's chest as the man who was believed to be a Necromancer, drove the spear further.
"pathetic... you are the one who helped stop the gateway?"
"what kind of Necromancer are you!" Tsukune struggled while keeping the spear's blade from continuing further in his body.
The hooded man began to laugh maniacally at Tsukune's comment.
"I'm no Necromancer boy, I'm a faithful Dark Guardian, following the decree's of Lord Ash! With you dealt with, it'll make the final battle against the Great Darkness easier to complete, now die..."
Tsukune grabbed the pole arm of the spear dragging it further in to him while raising his blade lunging it at the neck of the Dark Guardian causing him to gag and step back as the blade engulfed in fire. Tsukune pulled the spear out of him quickly piercing the Dark Guardian in the chest who grabbed the pole arm after he pried out the Elder Blood Sword from his neck.
"Just Fucking DIE!" Tsukune shouted as he began to push him against the wall. Lightning spawned from the Dark Guardian's fingers shocking Tsukune. Placing a boot to Tsukune's chest caused Tsukune to fly back into his room, followed by the Dark Guardian who made his way into, Tsukune threw his desk at the Dark Guardian but it was thrown out the window quickly.
The Dark Guardian raised his spear to strike Tsukune again, however several Ice kunais hit the back of the Dark Guardian, who stopped to turn around to see a bloodied Mizore, who's clothing was torn from chest to bottom.
The Dark Guardian raised his left palm conjuring fire in his hands, however the fear of fire did not overcome the fear of Tsukune dying for Mizore. Tsukune threw a pressure blast at the Dark Guardian crushing him against the dresser, Moka and Kurumu made in to the room, followed by the dresser being moved revealing a bloody Dark Guardian.
"Why won't you just die?!" Tsukune yelled getting up with his blade.
Throwing the dresser at Tsukune threw him against the bedroom. Tsukune quickly pushed the dresser out of the way. The Dark Guardian stopped his charge as Moka's fist punched through his chest, stunning the Dark Guardian with a gaping hole in his chest. Moka's arm broke within three seconds, followed by her being thrown outside in the hallway. Kurumu used her charm ability causing the Dark Guardian to resit it throwing his spear at her wing forcing her to be nailed to the wall.
Mizore began to freeze the area around him entrapping him in a Ice dome. The Ice dome exploded throwing ice everywhere, Mizore felt the air in her neck constrict as she levitated off the ground.
"Such a pretty face, too bad I'm going to cave it in..." The Dark Guardian commented causing both Tsukune's and Mizore's eyes to widen in fear.
