Chapter 3
A girl with blue hair tied in a ponytail was walking through the academy halls. Her destination was the Headmistress's office. After some more walking she finally arrived and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A voice was heard from the inside of the office.
"Excuse me Headmistress, but I want to ask a question." Ellis said.
"Oh?" Greyworth looked at Ellis who was in front of her desk.
"I just challenged Kamito to a duel and-" Ellis stopped herself once she saw the look on Greyworth's face.
"Err... Ellis, did you just say that you challenged Kamito to a duel?" Greyworth asked again not believing what she was hearing.
"Yes, Headmistress"
"Oh well, it was going to happen sooner or later..."
"What do you mean Headmistress?" Ellis tilted her head to the side not knowing what the Headmistress was talking about.
"Ellis, Kamito is not someone to be taken lightly." Greyworth simply stated while writhing on some papers.
"I wasn't going to take him lightly anyway."
"Ellis, the thing is that you will still lose even if you go all out." Greyworth put the pen down and looked at Ellis.
"Is he that powerful?" Ellis curiously asked.
"You might have a chance to win. If I know Kamito well enough, he won't use his full power because he wants to see how experienced you are. But Ellis listen closely, if Kamito uses his full power his elementalist rank is well above SS." Greyworth simply said.
The highest rank some elementalists got was S, only Greyworth was able to have SS rank. Ellis being an A-ranked elementalist had no chance.
Ellis was completely shocked, but managed to mutter "A-Above SS!?".
"What did you expect from my first and only personal student, huh?"
"P-Personal student!?" Ellis's words barely audible by human standards.
"Indeed. And one more thing Ellis, he won't use his elemental waffe. Have fun." Greyworth said with a smile then resumed writhing on some papers again.
Ellis, Reisha and Rakka were going at the location of the Astral Gate outside the school grounds. Ellis's companions were a little worried, their captain seemed to be in deep thought.
"Captain, what's on your mind?" Rakka decided to break the silence.
"Huh? Nothing really." Ellis simply said.
"If you say so captain..."
Ellis was still in deep thought, thinking about how to beat Kamito or take him by surprise with something. She decided to make it three on one if Rakka and Reisha want to.
"Rakka, Reisha."
"Yes captain?" They both responded.
"Want to join me in my fight with Kamito?" Ellis simply said with a smile on her face.
"Eh?" Rakka and Reisha both were shocked at what their captain said.
"But why captain?" Reisha asked once she regained her composure.
"Well you see... Nevermind..." Ellis decided it is better not to tell them what Greyworth told her. The three of them continued walking towards the Astral Gate.
After some moments of passion and intensity it was finally time for the duel. Kamito got off the bed and dressed up in his uniform then made his way towards the Astral Gate, Restia also followed him.
When Kamito and Restia arrived at the Astral Gate, someone was there already. It was Ellis, Rakka and Reisha if Kamito remembered their names correctly. Shortly after, Claire, Rinslet and Carol also arrived. From what he remembered 2 hours ago, they would stand and spectate.
"Let's go then." Ellis said then activated the Astral Gate.
After a little bit of walking in Astral Zero, they arrived at what looked like an arena. Everyone picked some place to stay and spectate, except Ellis and Kamito who where facing eachother in the middle of the arena.
"Shouldn't you ready your spirit?" Ellis asked, curious about what Kamito would do.
"Restia drains my energy very fast, so I will fight with a simple sword." Kamito simply answered Ellis.
"You don't even have a sword!" Ellis yelled at Kamito not seeing any sword sheated at his side.
"Oh yeah?" After Kamito said that, he created a shortsword made of pure divine power.
'To create a weapon so cassually... The Headmistress might not have been exagerating when she said what his rank would be if he is serious.' Ellis thought to herself.
"Come, Simorgh!" Ellis said once she regained her composure. A demonic bird appeared rotating around the arena above them, that was Simorgh.
"You seem powerful based on normal standards." Kamito said then readied himself.
"Attack Simorgh!" Once Simorgh heard Ellis say that, it started to fly towards Kamito at high speed. Kamito was still standing in the same spot waiting for Simorgh to attack him. Everyone thought he is suicidal or something, considering not even Claire or Rinslet could take the attack head on and live. When Kamito saw Simorgh getting closer, he dodged the attack with godlike speed.
'What!?' Everyone was shocked at the speed Kamito evaded the attack. Well... Everyone except Restia of course, she also knew the outcome of this battle.
"Such a weak attack can't harm me you know?" Kamito said with a grin.
"Then take this! Go an pierce Demonic Winds!" Ellis shouted then Simorgh threw something that looked like wind blades at Kamito. Kamito didn't even try to dodge the attack, when the attack made contact with Kamito alot of dust was around the area. Everyone thought Kamito lost or something, but when the dust subsided, Kamito was still standing there with no scratches on him. It didn't even look like he was hit by anything.
"WHAT!?" Everyone shouted at the same time after they saw that the attack didn't even make a scratch on Kamito. Of course Restia is still very calm.
"I will finish this then." Once Kamito said that he prepared to attack Simorgh.
"Absolute Blade Arts - First Form, Purple Lightning" Kamito shouted then dissapeared, he didn't actually dissapear. He thrusted his sword at Simorgh and cut the demonic spirit in two then appeared behind. It was just to fast for the normal eye to see. When Ellis saw that her spirit was cut in two, she fell to her knees and muttered 'I lost.'
"You have potential Ellis, you just need training." Kamito simply said then started walking towards Restia already having finished his business here. " Oh and one more thing, your spirit is still alive because I held back as much possible. Anyway, good night." Kamito said then dissapeared into the night with Restia.
"Held back as much as possible? As if." Claire didn't believe what Kamito said.
"Yeah, there's no way he could be that strong to take our captain's spirit in one hit!" Rakka said.
"Yeah, no way!" Reisha added. It seems that they finally aggred with Claire about something.
"You should believe him." Ellis simply said.
"Why would we do that?" Rinslet stated then crossed her arms.
Ellis then started to explain everything Greyworth told her, including what his rank would be if he used his full power. Everyone gasped and stood with their mouth's open for some minutes before regaining their composures.
"If the Headmistress said it, then we believe you."
"Yeah. But how!?" Claire added.
"What do you mean by that?" Ellis asked Claire to specify what she meant.
"How could he be so strong?"
"Years of practice my fellow students." The girls heard a new voice join their conversation. To everyone's shock, it was Greyworth the Headmistress.
"Years of practice?" They all managed to say the same words at the same time.
"Yes, to be exact I think it is 8 years." The Headmistress calmy responded.
"8 YEARS!?" Everyone managed to say the same thing again.
"Yes, Kamito managed to summon his Elemental Waffe at the age of 7, and had done very harsh training."
"S-S-Seven!?" Everyone was really shocked, the youngest someone had summoned the Elemental Waffe was at the age of 13. But at the age of 7 it was completely insane.
"Who exactly is that guy!?" One of the girls managed to regain her composure and asked.
"Who? He is Kamito Kazehaya, I thought you knew his name already." Greyworth simply said. She knew what the girl meant with that question, but Greyworth won't share Kamito's past unless he gives his own accord.
"That's not what I meant, Headmistress." It seems all the girls were calm now.
"I know what you meant Claire, though I won't tell about his past unless he gives his own accord. If I know him well enough, he won't tell anyone his past. Those who know about his past can be counted with one hand." Greyworth stated.
The girls didn't know why Kamito keeps his past such a secret, but they decided not to pry... For now...
"Heh, even if you manage to stay around Kamito for the rest of the school years, you won't get his past believe me. The thing is that Kamito won't even stay for the whole school years."
"Why is that?" Ellis decided to ask.
"Because I called him here just for the Blade Dance." Everyone was shocked at this statement "He will be representing the Ordesia Empire at the Blade Dance and win."
"But Headmistress! How do you know he will win?" Claire managed to spit out after regaining her composure from what Greyoworth said earlier.
"From what you heard from Ellis before, Kamito's rank as an elementalist would be higher than SS if he uses his full power. Although that only includes him without using any spirits or Elemental Waffe. If he uses an Elemental Waffe then he might be the Strongest Elementalist the world has seen." Greyworth informed the now shocked girls.
"B-But Ren Ashbell could have a chance right?" Rinslet managed to say still shocked.
"Heh, if you know that lad's past you would know the answer to that question." Greyworth smirked then dissapeared into the night.
After Greyworth dissapeared the girls argued about wanting Kamito in their team for the upcoming Blade Dance.
When Greyworth returned to the human world through the Astral Gate, Kamito was there waiting.
"So, how much did you tell them Witch?"
"Don't worry lad, your past is safe. I just told them that you will be representing the Ordesia Empire in the Blade Dance."
"Fine, I believe you." Kamito calmed down after hearing that Greyworth didn't tell those girls something about his past.
"So, how is that Ellis girl?" Greyworth asked Kamito.
"She has potential, but I don't think il try to get her or any of those girls on my team." Kamito simply said.
"But you need a team for the Blade Dance you know."
"I will find a way." Kamito said then left.
"Heh, that lad." Greyworth shook her head then left.
*Morning*
Kamito woke up to what sounded like someone opening a door. When he opened his eyes he saw Ellis standing in the doorway with a shocked look on her face.
"Ugh, good morning Ellis. What's with that face?" Kamito managed to say, he was very sleepy for some 'reason'.
Kamito saw Ellis point at the other side of the bed, that was on his left. When he looked he saw Restia sleeping with only panties and a bra. If that wasn't enough, the color of said underwear was black. Restia also had her arms wrapped around Kamito.
'Oh crap, I forgot she isn't used to this kind of stuff...'
"What do you make your spirit do!" Ellis shouted still very shocked at the sight before her.
"I-It's a missunderstanding." Kamito said waving his hands in front of him.
"Ugh, uhh. Kamito, what are you shouting for!" When Restia opened her eyes she found Ellis standing in the doorway, she looked very shocked.
"Oh, good morning Miss Captain of the Knights. What brings you here?" Restia asked the very shocked and angry Ellis.
"Apparently she missunderstands the situation." Kamito said to Restia.
After some more minutes the situation has been cleared once Restia explained everything to Ellis, after she understood the situation she left. Kamito was secretly surprised that Ellis didn't suffer a massive nosebleed.
"Phew... I'm surprised Restia, you didn't tease hear or told her exactly what happened last night." Kamito said, forming a grin on his face.
"Do you really want her to die of blood loss?"
"No, not at all." Kamito shrugged then started to make breakfast.
"Restia, what do you think we should do with the Demon Slayer?" Kamito asked Restia while preparing breakfast.
"I suppose we should try to summon it, although don't try it now. Something might happen, so we should try somewhere in Astral Zero." Restia warned Kamito.
"Sure, let's try later." Kamito understood what might possibly happen and decided to follow Restia's words.
The possiblities that the Demon Slayer might try to kill Kamito once summoned weren't high, but it might happen since he is the Demon King. That is the reason Restia said to try summoning it in Astral Zero, where there would be no problem if a fight might break out.
Author's note: This chapter is a little shorter than the previous one, hence why I uploaded it so fast. Anyway, as you saw, the story procceded a little differently than the canon. You should also expect some twists and turns in later chapters. That is all, Bye.
