This is an Asterisk Wars Fanfiction only.
The class material was interesting, to say the least, I spent so much time learning about regulations, laws, contracts, penalties, infiltration strategies, surveillance and even our right assassination strategies that these civilian topics were a breath of fresh air.
I was not enjoying the glare some of my classmates were giving me, and the distrustful glance of the class rep was not exactly a welcomed thing, but I rather they understand not to mess with me, in my undercover position I needed more respect than admiration or even some other romantic feelings, I was pretty much told I was spoken for.
At the end of the classes someone came right in the classroom, she caused quite the commotion and that is saying something considering my introduction to my classmates. She had long blonde silky hair, purple eyes, and the cause of the commotion was that every single guy was looking at her figure, more than likely they were looking at her tits, waist, and hips.
I do happen to admit she did have a rather attractive figure, the only thing is that because of my work I have seen women like her a few times, so I am not so much affected by just appearance alone.
She walked through the classroom like she was the Queen of the entire universe and was the owner of everything around her, people included. She walked towards my seat and I looked at her as I finished the assigned work, honestly this stuff is so easy I could do it during class, and I did.
"Ayato Amagiri, I am Claudia Einfield and I have come to get you. You have not finished your transfer paperwork, and there are quite a few things that we need to clear up. There is also the problem about your sword, and assigning you a proper sidearm. Please follow me, we don't have much free time in the Student Council."
A girl with pink hair decided to stand up right when I was about to leave, "You may not know this, but as a class representative I must evaluate your combat strength. Don't forget that after you get your business with the Student Council to meet me in the duel practice area behind this building! Don't keep me waiting or you will regret it!"
As we walked through the hallway I was getting quite a few odd looks from different people for different reasons. "Claudia, I hope you don't mind me using your first name, I can't be without a weapon, and I can't use a weapon which I can't draw. One of the main components of my family's style is Battojutsu, the art of drawing a sword."
She was walking rather close to me, "I wouldn't worry too much about it Ayato. I don't mind you calling me by my first name since I will be calling you by yours. We have any types of weapons and just happens I have already assigned you to take a compatibility test with one of our most powerful, and stubborn weapon."
"I will explain everything once we reach my office in the Student Council. There we can talk about this without so many people hearing what we will talk about, not to mention we will need some privacy so that you complete all the forms you need to fill out."
Somehow I get the feeling this blonde beauty wants something more than me doing paperwork. As we continued to walk I continued getting odd looks from people around, and I made a mental note to ask Claudia how she got used to being looked like this. It was rather uncomfortable being either looked at as a piece of meat, or something they hated.
As soon as I got in I had to admit, her office had a very nice view from her window, I could see a lot of the school and even some parts of the city. The second I heard someone locking the door, I was grabbed from behind, pushed against the door which I imagine Claudia just locked, and she began giving me a rather nice kiss.
After a few minutes of kissing, hold holding herself rather close to me she leaned closed and placed her head against my chest. "You have no idea how hard it was for me to restrain myself from doing that in your classroom or the hallway. I know I am being quite forward, but you must know that I know we are engaged to marry, and I couldn't be happier that it was you who my family arranged for me to marry."
As much as I enjoyed feeling her body pressing against me, I had to get my responsibilities over with before I decide to do something personal. "Shouldn't we get done with the paperwork before we get too into this romantic moment?"
She walked away looking rather disappointing, "Honestly Ayato, you have a beauty like me willing, ready and able to give you a taste of your honeymoon and the first thing you say to me after that kiss is let's get started on the paperwork? I know you are duty oriented but be a little more considerate of my feelings."
I looked at her and for a few seconds I tried my best to apologize, that is until she started laughing, "Oh, I don't mind you being duty oriented Ayato, I mean that is one thing I love about you. As for the paperwork, I am the one that needs to apologize, I lied. All the paperwork has been done and all I wanted was to get you as far away from the other students and somewhere more private."
"I was liable to beat some of those girls senseless if I didn't hurry and get you away from them. They might not know it, but that is hardly an excuse. You are mine Ayato and I don't like it when my future husband is ogled by some other women."
I looked at her and the whole bashful, possessive way she was acting I had to admit was kind of endearing. "Should I beat up the guys that stared at you like you are a piece of meat too?"
She laughed as she continued to stay close to me, "As long as you don't kill them, I don't mind you challenging to a duel. You must remember that you must touch your pin and state your intent to duel, the only victory requirement is that you destroy the other person's pin. If you rack up a high enough of a victory count, you will move up in the rankings quickly, and if you manage to be a first-page duelist, then we could even move in together."
I have to admit that would certainly take time, but the main problem is my sword. If the only thing I could do is destroy a pin on them, my blade would be next to useless. "I will need a new weapon assigned then, I hope that weapon I am being tested with is a good fit."
"Ayato you never explained why would you need a new weapon, I am happy to sign the papers for the compatibility test, but I would like to know why don't you use the sword you have while I have a time for you to take the test."
I looked at my blade and then I looked at her. "I am used to having stubborn weapons Claudia, that is not that difficult for me to understand, this blade is one such weapon after all. My blade is cursed, you can't get more stubborn than this blade, the curse clearly states that I must draw blood whenever I draw my blade. If I don't draw blood from my enemy, then the blade will take the blood from me."
"The Hiten Mitsurugi Style is meant for killing, and especially against multiple enemies. If I have to fight an enemy but leave my enemy alive, well that is going to make my current blade draw blood from me, and if I have multiple duels per day, well anemia is going to be the least of my problems."
She reached for something from her desk drawer and she tossed it to me, "This is a baseline weapon, nothing like the Organ Lux that you will test your compatibility with, but I hope this well do against your duel after you leave her, but I am not lending you this weapon free of charge, be sure to save some energy so that you can visit my room later."
I turned on the weapon and it was an energy blade, but it took the shape of your basic longsword. I placed it in my pocket and thanked her for doing this for me, I promised that I would do my best to visit her tonight, but if I was unconscious I might not.
She smiled at me as she walked back to me, "If you are sent unconscious to the infirmary, then I will visit you there. Consequences are damned, I will not be happy till we can spend some time alone in a more intimate and private setting than here. I swear these walls have ears."
I walked over to her and kissed her gently on her lips, she and I savored the feel of each other, and I could feel my heart beat increasing. As soon as the kiss was over, she handed me a student manual which contained a map of the campus.
As soon as I reached the place there she was already, looks like she was waiting for me. "Took you long enough to get here, was the Student President making you do all the paperwork for every transfer student or just yours? You should know better than keep a princess waiting!"
I looked at her and she was already holding her device, someone was eager to fight me in a duel it seems, she touched her emblem and closed her eyes"I Julis Riessfeld challenge Ayato Amagiri to a duel! The winner may ask one favor of the other duelist, do you accept the terms of our duel?"
I touched my own emblem and looked at her, "Be warned Julis I shall not hold back, if you are willing to take the risk then I shall accept the terms of this duel." Immediately a field around us was sealed and I imagine that was to prevent others from being harmed.
She immediately began using energy to send what looked like flames in various forms, the one she used most it seems was in the shape of lances. I quickly dropped into my family basic style and began to use the heightened speed and reaction times to evade all her attacks.
As soon as I was sure I knew the nature of her ability I went on the offensive. I could have evaded her and cut her emblem, but she wanted to see how strong I was so I had to do something different, the second she sent the largest flame lance at me, I used my own weapon to hit it, deflect it right back at her.
Front that moment on I just kept sending her own attacks at her, she was now the one that was jumping out of the way of her own attacks. The second she stopped I felt something wrong with the ground and I just evaded a large explosive trap she had been setting up the entire time.
Seeing that she prefers long range combat, I decided to take the fight to her. She must have been pretty confident with her swordsmanship, but she never faced a foe like me. I cut her energy blade and her emblem in half with a single strike.
The field displayed our names and declared me the winner, "You know you could have killed me had I not moved back a second before your attack hit my emblem. This is a competition, how can you strike with the obvious intent to injure or kill?"
I looked at her and turned off my device, "The sword is a weapon, the act of learning to fight with a sword is to learn how to kill. Your words are the innocent words that only a person who never had the blood of others on their hands would say, I have fought and killed many enemies in my life. I lost that innocent outlook a long time ago."
I looked at her and she was now glaring at me, "I knew perfectly well that you would evade it, but by evading it you would leave your emblem open for an attack. Whether you find me a despicable person or an outright monster it matters not. More importantly didn't you notice the arrow that I cut when I attacked you."
She looked where she was standing, and she then looked at me. "I knew you would evade, so I did the only thing I could to get you to evade so that I could get at your emblem and cut the arrow at the same time."
Julis looked at the arrow and then at me, "How did you know the arrow was shot in the first place?" I looked at her and couldn't help but to feel she mentioned something that was obvious, I told her I heard the arrow being fired from a crossbow, the vibrations of the air was all I needed to know what was shot and in which direction it was shot.
"My family style revolves around high-speed combat, which mostly is used to take out multiple enemies. Finding the path of an arrow is simple to a master of my family style." She looked at me and then at my blade.
"I happen to know the Amagiri Style and that is not something constant with that style of combat. Mind explaining what you mean by your family style?" I guess since I already mentioned it might as well tell her the name and the reason why my style doesn't match the Amagiri Style."
I turned off my device and looked at her, "In truth I can't use my full strength with a weapon like this, I have been adopted into the Amagiri family, so I do happen to have a family style that is different than theirs, you might have never heard of it or even find it in any books in the library. My family style is called the Hiten Mitsurugi Style. I am a master of that and of battojutsu. Those that know me professionally know me as Batosai."
I looked at her and I looked at where the arrow came from, the assailant was long gone. "Now if you will excuse me, I have to meet with someone to discuss matters that are too personal for me to mention without her approval."
She immediately began to glare at me, "Oh, I imagine that you are going to tell the Student Body President before you go mind telling me what sort of relationship do you have with her?"
In favor of leaving sooner rather than later I decided to answer, "She is my fiancee, in case I need to explain it she and I will one day be man and wife." I left and I couldn't help hearing her shocked reaction.
