7th Chapter.
Asgard: Country side.
"Hm country side huh? Thought you would live near the kingdom, with your status and all."
"Well I prefer a nice quiet place where I don't' have to deal with an old one eyed coot." Gondur said.
"I see. So what is Odin-sama like?"
"He's perverted scumbag of shit." Gondur said bluntly.
"Whoa that's harsh…"
"It's what he is." Gondur bluntly said.
"Is he really a pervert?" Zeru asks whispering to Rossweisse.
"Unfortunately he is, I heard from some of my sempais were peeped by Odin-sama when they were in the showers and locker rooms."
"Damn, at least Zeus-sama isn't' like that, kind of carefree though.."
"Hey you two keep up already."
"Eh?" Zeru then notices that Gondur was already a couple meters ahead already.
"We better get going, she can get impatient." Rossweisse said as she walked on.
"Yeah."
"Later they then arrived at cottage.
"Well here we are."
"Hm this is perfect place for some piece and quiet."
"Told you."
As they entered the cottage.
"So I guess I'll be taking the guest room?"
"I'll show you where it is." Rossweisse said as Zeru followed.
As the went up the stairs and walked through the hallway.
"The guest room is right here, which is next my room."
"Oh how bold."
"Will you stop that." Rossweisse blushed.
"Hey I can't help it when, you lower your defense and I start teasing. It's a basic tactic of battle to always attack."
SLAP
"Itai~"
"You lowered your defenses." She smirked.
"Touché." He rubbed his cheek.
As they entered the room.
"BED!~"
He immediately jumped on the bed with an excited grin.
"Aaaah, my legs are so sore~"
"It only took about forty minutes to get here?"
"Then why couldn't we instantly teleport there?"
"Grandma likes the exercise."
"Hm so you call Gondur-san Granny when you're flustered. Interesting."
"What's the point of that?"
"No reason, I just like to observe people and gain some bits of their information."
"That sounds like a stalker."
"I am not a stalker unless if the person is agitated by my presence. I on the other hand is like a child that's simply attracted to shiny objects, giving me the urge to follow and learn more."
"Still a stalker."
"Hey I love people what can I say. So are you going to check my seal?"
"Can it wait?"
"Nope~ I really want to use more spells really badly~"
"*Sigh* How old are you inside you're head?"
"Eleven years old of cute shota goodness~"
"I doubt it." She said bluntly"
"Well at least I know I'm not gonna get any wrinkles." He smirked.
"Maybe I should get rid of the source of my stress right now then."
"Eh you would kill a pure person such as myself that still a virgin and he hasn't got a first kiss at all? "
"I guess yeah."
Zeru then sat up.
"If you do that, I won't give tell you anymore one hundred yen shops or even two hundred yen shops."
Rossweisse twitched as her attention was brought back.
"Let's see there are some annual sales that are around twenty to forty percent off."
"For real?!" she asks with eagerness.
"Yeah but that's when it's a battlefield. It wasn't pretty. To many people were trampled, I saw the rage of housewives, and kids were buying soo much sugar. There were too many piles of coupons too many coupons." He shuddered as he remembered his flashbacks as if he was in a warzone.
"What time do they usually come?"
"Well sales start on weekends so the shop opens at nine. Ususally they come right when the doors open… So yeah Armageddon starts."
"I see, this is going to be a tricky battle."
"Whoa whoa, you're going to join in? "
"Well of course, I can't miss a sale at a one hundred yen shop."
"Geez, now I'll have more nightmares of super enthusiastic shopping. Wait a minute if you become a Valkyrie, are you sure you'll be able to find the time to go to a one hundred yen shop?"
Rossweisse then realized the one fault of becoming a vakyire, by becoming a valkyrie they have sworn their lives to serve Odin. So by doing that they will be forced to beckon to Odin's call.
The asgardian women the sat near the corner of the room, giving of a gloomy aura and started to contemplate on her decision of becoming a Valkyrie.
"Heh heh, so gonna do something about my seal?"
"If it'll shut you up." She said with an annoyed tone, standing back up.
"Yaay!~" he raised his arms in the air in joy.
Rossweisse rubbed her temple.
Zeru then began to take off his hoodie and then his shirt.
The asgardian women then blushed seeing Zeru's now bare chest.
He then turned around focusing his magic energy, which showed off the seal on his body.
Rossweisse then stared at the seal.
"Hm."
"What?"
"It's a high level seal, might take a while to unseal."
"So you've done these seals before?"
"Yeah, it's not a big deal…But it seems to be embedded in the skin though." Rossweisse says seeing the circuit like veins streaming through his body.
"So will that be the problem?"
"Kinda, one bad move then its cupputs for you."
"Be more specific."
"Well if I accidentally activate your mana while it's trapped in the seal…Well you'll end up being blown up from the inside."
"…"
"Hm so that's his seal? Although he does have a nice back." Gondur commented
Rossweisse then turned around to see her Grandmother.
"Granny?!" she yelled in embarrassment.
"What's wrong with you? Geez. Are you gonna undo it or not, it's a really simple seal to undo with your current level. They're just like one of those seals in that sealing puzzle game I gave you." Gondur rolled her eyes/
"You sure you're ready?" Rossweisse asks nervously.
"Depends got any protection?"
SLAP
The young valkyrie slapped him.
"FUCK!" Zeru yelled.
"Seems she likes it raw."
"Granny!"
"Okay that's enough sorry. Geez for a college student you sure act like some innocent child" Gondur rolled her eyes.
Rossweisse then created a magic circle above his seal.
"Oh you're using you're own Unlocker spell." Gondur commented.
"It's a personal spell magic users can develop when they are more familiar with sealing magic."
"I see, so is it gonna hurt?"
"Just take it like a man." Gondur smirked seeing the sweat drop from Zeru.
The Valkyrie in training then turned her circle as it made a click sound similar to a combination lock.
"Itai~" he groaned in pain as he heard the clicking sounds from the magic safe cracker, as his body stung from the seal which sparked everytime it was being hacked.
"Don't' be such a wuss, I'm almost done." She continued to crack the seal.
After a couple of minutes.
CLICK
The magic of the circle of the seal then began to spin as the circuits embedded on his upper body began to withdraw into the magic circle as it disappeared.
"Aaah." He moaned in relief as he started to feel more mana, began to flow through his body.
"There all done." Rossweisse wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"At least I didn't blow up."
"Hm not bad mana, it seems to be about the level of a middle class magician in terms of mana." Gondur commented.
"Hm would've thought that my mana would increase a bit more after all the shit I've been through with missions and I thought my mana would've absorbed the seals power." He said putting back on his shirt.
"Well that's what training is for." Rossweisse said.
"I guess. Well thanks Rossweisse for unsealing my seal."
Rossweisse slightly blushed.
"Hmph I don't think a thank you can compensate the task I've just done."
"Hah?"
"…Rose don't tell me that you wanna do the Birds and the Bee's? Gondur said in a fake shock tone.
"NO!"
"Lemme guess you want me to hook you up with the discounts at the one hundred yen shop?"
"I think that'll compensate."
"You sure? Because once you become a Valkyrie you're gonna end up working for that lousy one eyed perv." Gondur said.
"That is true." Zeru agreed
"I'm sure I can negotiate with him."
"Good luck with that.(I will pray every day for you my granddaughter.)" Gondur said.
"Well since you're persistent, I guess I have to do it." Zeru sighed
"Good." Rossweisse said with a smug look.
Later Zeru was in the study, reading the books that Rossweisse recommended on magic. So far he was readying about runes.
"Hm so I can just make a symbol and then added in one of my spells into the symbol…"
Zeru then traced a random symbol in the air with magic. Then after that he then casted a magic circle, which then released the spell's aura into the rune symbol. The rune glowed showing that the insertion of the spell into the rune was complete.
"Okay then let's see if I do this." He then moved his hand as the rune moved, as it followed the direction where Zeru wanted.
The rune then floated above a spot on the door as it embedded it self into the door.
"Okay now I wait."
Later the door then opened.
"Hey Zeru-kun I was just…"
The rune on the door then glowed as it…
SLAM
Closed in front of Rossweisse.
"HEY!"
"Heheheheh."Zeru, sweatdropped sensing the malicious intent.
Suddenly the door's rune then glowed as it shattered.
The door then opened again, with Rossweisse entering.
"Hiya~" he greeted with an innocent angelic aura.
"I see you got the gist of using runes so far." She said, emanating a aura that just said 'Hold still so I can beat the crap out of you.'
"So far yeah. Also I do not apologize for what I've done. I have purposely planned on you for testing out the force spell rune I added to the door. And based on my observations the activation was excellent."
"I seeee." She said clenching her fist and having a tick mark.
"I'll just be going out in the back now, ja ne Rosssweisse."
Suddenly a magic circle appeared on the desk, which then summoned a stack of folders.
"Oh is this your homework, well I guess our student teacher bonding will have to be postponed for now." he walked past her.
GRIP
"Itai~" he felt his shoulder being gripped tightly.
"How about you stay and keep me company while I finish?" she asks giving off evil intentions.
"Sorry I don't want to distract you while you work. Since males are the leading causes of females not focusing in school."
"Oh trust me with my focused attention on studying, even your existence can be similar to a fly."
"Eeeeh? Is that how you view males during your constant leap years during school? And a fly? That's just so mean~…Wait a minute is this your way of inviting me to stay by your side?!"
"On second thought just buzz off." She said sitting on the desk working on her homework.
"Well fiiine, I'll just be outside then."
"Don't break anything."
"I won't. Geez. *takes his phone out.* Hey Hephaestus-san it's me. Let me borrow one those…I need it for testing out my magic on…Hey you owe me for almost getting killed by a god with bestial fetish…Yay thank you.*hangs up.*"
"What was that all about?" Rossweisse asks
"Just asking for ol blacksmithy god to send me something to test my magic on. Enjoy doing your homework Sensei."
Zeru was now at the backyard just lying down on the grassy field, starring at the afternoon sky.
"Ah it feels relaxing." He said in bliss.
"Oh what are you doing here?" Gondur asks.
"Eh Gondur-san? I'm just relaxing."
"What's Rose doing?"
"Oh doing her homework. You know studying first, boys are insignificent."
"Geez, this is why I worry about her future romance."
"Well, at least there's the highest probability she'll marry a rich guy."
"There is no way I'm allowing her to become a gold digger."
"You have my condolences for having a financially obsessed granddaughter."
"So what are you planning on doing now besides lying like a brat wasting his opportunity for romance?"
"That's harsh. Well thanks to your granddaughter for unsealing the rest of my mana, I test out my current skills."
"I see, well the I leave you alone then."
"Okaay~"
As he stared at the clouds…
"Alright, I guess it's about time I try my hand at using Kidou, man I procrastinate too much." He then took out his phone and a magic circle came out of his phone, placing it in front of him summoning a six feet tall metallic human automaton, forged by Hephaestus.
Kido, spirit ways are known as spells used by most omnyouji clans. There are two types of spells it categorizes, Hado for offense type spells and Bakudo for supplementary spells.
"Hadou #1: Sho." By saying the name of the spell, his index finger dispelled a small amount of energy from the tip. With that the metallic armor was knocked down pushed a couple inches away.
"Hm, looks like using this Hado, didn't consume much from me. Well it's a low level one so I guess it's fine. Now then next one…"
He then pointed at the next dummy with his.
"Hadou #31: Shakkaho!" His hand then began to generate a ball of red energy. Just when it seems it finished condensing the energy…
BOOM
"GAAAAH!"
He ended up being blown back by the explosion, knocking him to the ground in the process.
"Shit, guess I still have that habit of trying to reserve my mana when I still had my mana limited, or maybe I need to do the encantations."
When using Kidou it is best to use the incantation when casting the spell otherwise the spell would diminish it's effect and for novices they it'll end up backfiring on them. Only experienced users are able to use Kidou without incantation but can compensate on the effectiveness of the spell depending on how strong the user is. But for Zeru's case, because since he had limited mana for a long time, he has a habit from trying to minimize the mana he has so he can conserve.
"Man this is tricky." He commented at getting use to having more mana then he had before or he should've done the in incantation.
He then pointed out his hand and prepared to initiate the number thirty one ranked Hado.
"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! Hado #31: Shakkaho!"
As he finished the incantation the sphere of the explosive spell was well condensed maintaining a nice shape about the size of his palm, it then fired hitting the metallic automaton.
The attack then made the automaton fall to it's back, since it was just functionless.
"Okay it seems I was able to control the size when I did the incitation. Shit I don't know any other hados except those. Thanks a lot Tou-san you just wouldn't let me have more nourishment for my curiosity."
Next he decided to now practice using the second type of Kido, Bakudo.
He then pointed at the automaton with both his index and middle finger and did a motion with his hand.
"Bakudo #1: Sai!" upon saying the name of the binding spell, the arms of the automaton began to move. The effect of this spell causes the opponent to have their arms to their back, locking them in place. But the bakudo seemed to have little effect, as the arms of the God of Blacksmith's metallic creation was resisting the spell.
Zeru then decided to add more power to the spell, making the creaking sounds of metal to screech louder as it continue to resist against the binding spell.
After a couple of minutes…
"Hah, forgot that it's made of enchanted metal, stupid Adamantine."
The reason why the spell didn't work was because of its high magical power it had thanks the Olympian metal Adamantine. Because it's body was completely made out of that metal, it had a greater defense power.
"Tch I should asked for just a regular metal one." He sighed.
With a click on his phone the adamantine automaton teleported back to Hephaestus.
"Those were some unique spells."
Zeru then turned to see Rossweisse walking to him.
"It's called Kido, it's combat magic used by omnyouji's."
"I see, so are they incantation casting type magic?"
"They are, when initiating a kido most users have to cast incantations so the still spell can be maintained, and it's also used for users that can't control their magic power. If a user with little experience in Kido does not use the incantation then the spell will backfire on them."
"I guess that explains the soot." Rossweisse giggled.
"Eh?*stares at his shirt and arms.* Yeah that does explain that." He sheepishly rubs the back of his head.
"So you're still learning kido?"
"Yeah but the soot thing wasn't because I sucked *Rossweisse giggles.* It was only because I had trouble with using the rest of my mana now. Whenever I use a spell, I always try to find ways to conserve my power so the spell can be still effective. So I used the incantation and it went well."
"So Hado is it the offensive category of Kido?"
"Yeah and Bakudo are battle assist type spells…Wait you were watching me?"
"It didn't look like you needed help."
"And you did saw me get blown up?"
"It was humorous."
"Hmph~" he pouted.
"So the numbers are they ranked?" Rossweisse asks about the numbers he said associated with the Kido.
"Yeah they rank from one to ninety nine."
"So for Hado you can use spells up to thirty one?"
"No not really, I really have low knowledge of other Kido, since my dad didn't taught me much. Besides the Kido I demonstrated were supposed to be trained by rookies. If I were to train a little bit more with them, I'll be somewhat skilled."
"I see, so you want to take a break. I can give you some tips on magic later."
"No, I'm good since I'm still young and active on life."
"Physically not. Mentally yes."
"Hey win win, at least I'm the fun one." He got up.
"So have you gotten a better understanding with Runes now?"
"Well what do you think?"
"Seems it's best to knock the knowledge out of your head."
"I said I was sorry, can't you blame me for not being curious and start playing around with them. Didn't that ever happened to you before?"
"That was whenI was younger back then."
"Sounds like curiosity to me. Besides the rune I used was safe."
"The door almost hit my face."
"Hm?" he then leaned in taking a closer look at Rossweisse.
Upon seeing the young informant up close, she immediately blushed.
He then moved back.
"Liar there's no damage."
"Really? Is that it?"
The two turned to see Gondur and she sighed.
"What's wrong Gondur-san?"
"Why the hell you didn't kiss her?" she asks bluntly.
"Eh?" Zeru says dumbfounded.
Rossweissse blushed hard.
"Oh come on, that tactic was an easy way to get a kiss. Rose why didn't you even take advantage of that, his defenses were wide open."
"I I I I…." She covered her face in embarrassment.
"Mataku~" The retired Valkyrie sighed.
"I'm sorry that our relationship didn't progress the way you wanted Gondur-san. Also I had never even had a kiss on the lips yet."
"Oh really? With your charisma and smooth talk, I thought you would've gotten some."
"Unfortunately I'm not the type to be tied down yet."
"What a waste." Gondur said with pity.
"That's just harsh."
"Saying it what it is. Kids like you should just start getting some already and just tie the knot."
"Now now, you're making it sound like it's something Rossweisse needs to do."
"Hey she's the one talking about being financially prepared for the future, I'm just telling her that she has an opportunity to snag a man aka you. So her future marriage is secured."
"Even if I'm a human?"
"There's no discrimination in love, except if the person is a sick pervert kick them to the curve and go for someone else."
"Geez, that's too much."
"Well if she didn't made me worry so much, I wouldn't do this."
"So blunt." He slightly sweats dropped.
Guest room.
RING
"What now? Himejima? *Sigh* Hello?"
"Ohayo Hyoudou-kun~"
"Ohayo Himejima."
"Uhuhu~ Whatcha doing?"
"Spending my summer leisurely and you?"
"Just wanting to talk with my future classmate is all~"
"Horraaay. (Ugh someone gag me and make me watch Bible Black.)"
"You're not enthusiastic?"
"Not really since it's not the first time I ever talk to girls that I rarely now and try to get to know me."
"That's a little rude you know."
"Hey I'm just saying that I don't like when girls I don't' know really well, act over familiar with me."
"Ja, then if we get to know each more during school, does that mean I can be in your inner circle?"
"You're persistent aren't you?" He sighed.
"Mou~ Hyoudou-kun hidoi~"
"Uh huh." He rolled his eyes
"Well then just to let you know I'll be going to Kyoto with my friends."
"And why is there a need for you to tell me, since there might be a probability of fifty five point five percent of not caring."
"Ufufu~ I'm just saying that in case you want to come see me."
"You know when my friends ask me about you, I rated your beauty as an eight point five out of ten."
"Ara~ Is that one of your highest rating for other girls?~"
"Dunno, I only answered since my male friend ask me how hot you were."
Akeno giggled.
"So can I end this conversation now?"
"Uhuhu~ Doshite? We only just started~"
"(Get me a shotgun and thrust it up my ass.) Yaaay~"
"Hmph~" she pouted through the phone, knowing his sarcasm.
"Okay are we done? Buh bye." He hanged up immediately.
"Now that seemed rude.' Gondur commented.
"So? I don't like girls that act overly familiar with me."
"Oh is that right? Looks like you don't have much competition Rose."
"Granny!"
"Well then I think I may need to take a nap…"
Suddenly Rossweisse grabs him by the shoulder.
"Now what was that saying about making sure you gained enough knowledge by today?" Rossweisse says with a devilish tone.
"Eh to… I was just being childish you know. Since I'm starting to feel tired now and…Gah!"
He was then being dragged by his shoulder.
"Well since you seem to enjoy gaining knowledge, I'll be glad to oblige."
"(Me and my big mouth and my youthful mind.)"
"Hm, looks like Rose is the dominant one, that's good." Gondur said in a satisfied tone.
Study.
"If you want to go get a better hand at using elemental magic, use this. *hands him a book.*"
When Zeru touched the book, he suddenly felt a flowing sensation.
"What is this?
"This is a tome."
"A tome…Ah they're like a another spell casting method for magicians?"
"Yep. A tome is basically like a storage for magicians to use, when writing down the formulas, incantations, and magic circles for the spell the user that wants to cast. But these tomes are more different instead of adding incantations we use Magic circles instead."
Rossweisse then picked up the tome and opened it, turning the page to a particular spell.
"The only way a tome can be activated is by using one's power. For incantations you simply speed read it and you're power will then activated the spell." Suddenly the tome then glowed, as Rossweisse brought her hand out, creating a magic circle, which then fired off a gust of wind.
"Whoa that's cool. So is it an instantaneous casting?"
"Sort of but if you have more skill you'll be able to manipulate the magic however you want. But when you use it, it will cast the standardized form of the spell."
"I see. Heheh that'll show them that bookworms aren't to be messed with."
Zeru then picked up the red book.
"Whoa whoa, no fire for you." She immediately took the book away from, like how an adult takes a dangerous object from a child.
"Awwww, no fair~ Sensei hidoi!~"
"No means no I don't want another arsonist incident again."
"You accidently burnt this room didn't you?
"….Shut up."
"Nailed it didn't I?"
"Hmph."
"So what else are you going to teach me sensei?"
"That's enough for now. I'm already tired dealing with you."
"Eeeh?"
"We just got back from Nidavellir you know and you got your seal undone just now."
"But I'm not tiwerd~"
"Don't care."
"Fine I'll just ask Gondur-san to be my teacher then. Besides I think having a young teacher would be too distracting…On the other hand Gondur-san does looks attractive too for her age…"
"Grr."
"Whoa." He dodged the attack of a harisen.
A harisen known as the slapping fan is used for hitting annoying comedic characters.
"Die die die!" she repeated as she tries to hit the annoying human who simply just dodges by making moving to the side after every attack.
"Oya~ What an angry face, if you were to keep up such an expression. Then your face would quickly diminish it's beauty."
The asgardian teen was fuming with red and a mixture of pink fumes, as she summoned a sword.
"Oya~"
With quick reflexes, Rossweisse swung her harisen in a horizontal arc, with Zeru managing back away.
Zeru then felt an evil sensation of killer intent, as he saw Rossweisse with her eyes ignited red and she had a black aura. Zeru has seen this sort of form displayed in many animes that shows an angry demonic girl. But lucky she didn't have a large club with spikes, now that would be very painful.
"Hm to use her as a sparring partner in her current state or not? That is the question.. *Harisen swings in his face* Oh fuck! *backs away.*"
"Oi Rose, if you two are having a lovers quarrel already take it outside."
"GAAAH!" she screamed.
Rossweisse then dropped her harisen and immediately headed to her room.
"Whew, almost got killed." He wiped the sweat from his head.
"So it was a lover's quarrel?"
"Nope, just me running my mouth…Should I check on her?"
"Nah, she'll get over it…I guess in her current state now, she might need to be checked up."
"And so begins my decent into the realm of the furious female.(At least she's not in her time of the month. After what happened to Touko and Satsuki…I was lucky to have survived.)"
As he headed to Rossweisse's room, the door was slightly opened.
"Hey Rossweisse, can I come in…Your door's open…I'm coming in*Enters room.* Hey Rossweisse look I was…What in Danganronpa are you making?"
He saw Rossweisse was making something with what seemed to be straw and it looked liked some kind of person based on the limbs it had.
The silver haired Valkyrie twitched, when she saw Zeru and immediately hid the straw doll in her drawer.
"EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING?!" she yelled with a red face.
"That's a voodoo doll isn't it?."
"Wh What are you talking about?" she said trying to sound like she didn't know.
"Come on the straw doll? Just to let you know I've already experienced what being voodoo'd is like."
"For real?"
"Yep happened about two years ago."
"What'd you do?"
"Oh nothing, it's just that my friends didn't like my sudden change in character when we started middle school."
"I can clearly see the reason."
"Aw, now don't be like that I'm sort of devlish is all."
Rossweisse then took out a vial of water, opened it and then extracted a sample of water via magic. The small sample of water then changed shaped into a solid sphere maintaining it's watery structure.
SPLASH
The sphere then hit his face.
"Now that's rude."
'Hm thought the holy water would've worked. Guess this amount wasn't enough against your high demonic energy."
"Hmph, now I'm wet." He pointed at his wet face.
"Sucks to be you."
"So are we even now?" he wipes off the water with magic.
"I guess…"
"Good~ Well I'll be in my room then. Ja ne~" he left the room.
"Idiot …"
"Oh and I'll take this." He immediately appears with the straw doll in hand.
Rossweisse eyes widened at the sudden appearance of Zeru. She didn't even sense his presence and didn't sense any magic was used since he didn't have any residual mana from him, since usually when a person uses magic, there are traces of residual mana would slightly emanate from where the magic was cast.
"How did you…."
"And burn~" A small magic circle emanated from his palm underneath the doll and a small flame engulfed the doll as it instantly turned to ash.
"Yaaay~ Success in using fire magic~" he grinned.
"Hmph it was okay…for a weak flame."
"So you want me to commit arson on purpose?"
"NO!"
"Okay then. I'll be in my room if you need me prissy pants~"
"As if."
"Oh hold on…* Takes out his cellphone.*"
"What are you doing?"
"It's just for a sec." he then knelt on his knees next to Rossweisse side by side. He then wrapped his arm around, and moved in close with his cheek touching hers. Upon that surprise action Rossweisse immediately blushed.
He then brought his phone up and.
FLASH
The selfie was taken.
"Let's see how it looked…Aw you look so blushy.~"
Rossweisse pouted at him.
"Heh." He touched her purple ribbons.
"What are you doing?" she brushes his hand off.
"Oh nothing it's just that I really like those ribbons. They really suit you."
Rossweisse blushed beet red as she began to stroke her hair.
"Well then I'm done here, I'll be in my room ja ne~"
Guest room.
"Ah, relaxing hm what spell should I put in the Old School building's office. Meh I have time. Looks like I'm getting good with the Shunshin no Jutsu." He lay on the bed starring at the ceiling.
The Shunshin Jutsu(Body Flicker Technique) is a high-speed movement technique used by shinobis/ninjas, allowing to move at an almost traceable speed. This technique varies on the amount of power the user plans to move at what length of distant. In Zeru's use he uses that as a one-time move for surprise attacks, such as catching the enemy off guard to finish the final blow as in knocking an opponent out.
Zeru has somewhat of knowledge in Ninjutsu since he used to train at Satsuki's family's temple. But the only things he learned was the Shunshin jutsu, since he enjoyed using that as a surprise attack and bug people with and Genjutsu which is an illusionary type spell used by shinobi.
RING
"Sigh it's Himejima again. Moshi moshi~"
"Ara~ I'm so happy that you answered." Said the happy Akeno.
"What is it that you need?"
"Mou~ Why are you like this?"
"(Maybe because you abandoned your own father and joined with a devil clan, you bitch) Oh nothing I'm just stressed is all."
"Ara~ Maybe when you come see me in Kyoto, you might feel better when you spend time with me~"
"I doubt it. (You think you all that huh? Bitch.)"
"Hyoudou-kun no stingy~"
"Whatever you say." He said with a boorish tone.
"So are you interested in joining a club?"
"Not in the slightest especially that Occult Research Club."
"What's wrong with that club?"
"Well I did found out that last year this club wasn't successful because of lhow it was low members. Also I just think that it's utter nonsense because it sounds like an excuse for students to get out of classes and waste their time doing whatever nonsense they plan on doing. But if the club has become an official club, then I fear for the insanity and delusions of students actually into the occult, which would generate some demon-worshipping cult, and some Sasquatch fanatics. Whoever thought of attempting to bring back an unsuccessful club must be stupid, likes occult stuff, or someone that has a relative in the school's board that easily approves of such a nonsense club for them to do whatever they want like the spoiled brat he/she is. So I would not be interested in such a dumb club that has no benefit at all to the school. Also if I were to be acquainted with students that have joined that club, then I will not associate them anymore, due to my slight annoyance towards occult people. That is all." He bluntly explained and sighed out of exhaustion for talking lengthily.
Akeno sweat dropped at his bluntness and complete dissection of the total nonsense of the Occult Research club that her friend thought of bringing back. Plus she was worrying about her chances of being friends with him at school, since she will be joining the club.
"I see it is nonsense sort of club..."
"I'm glad you agree and I do hope you don't associate yourself with such a club. (Dammit did I sound a little protective there?)"
"Ara~ Are you trying to look out for me?"
"No, I am merely giving you a piece of advice, which I thin would greatly benefit you."
Akeno giggled.
"I sound like a tsundere didn't I?" he rubbed his temple.
"Are you?"
"No. I was simply annoyed, that was why I talked in that manner of speech."
"Ufufu~ I see."
"Akeno are you talking to our future classmate again?!" yelled another female voice.
"Who was that?"
"Oh just my friend whose family I am staying with."
"That right?(Oh god so that's what the Gremory heiress sounds like? Something tells me I need a lot of pain medication.)"
"Mou~ Akeno let me talk to him!" whined the other voice.
"Ara~ Can we talk later?"
"I suppose since you're the talker and I'm the talkie. Plus that other person is too loud."
"Okay ja ne~"
"Wait Akeno I want to…"
Hanged up.
"Ah finally that's over." Zeru sighed in relief.
There were three criteria's of a person the hates, over familiarity meaning acting all nice regardless if the person was comfortable. Second, people that wear masks meaning he hates how people seems to hide there true selves with an all nice act while trying to suppress their real emotions. Last disregarding their family. And Himejima Akeno hit all the marks on the people he dislike.
He already knew full well of her background history of HImejima Akeno and what happened to her mother Himejima Shuri. Even though he felt sympathy for Akeno since he knew what if felt like for having lost people that were important in their lives. But he didn't felt any sympathy since she didn't want to be with her father and ended up being with the Gremory clan.
"Tch, wonder if I should let it out and say that I'm assigned by her father to watch over her?"
Even if Zeru dislikes Akeno, he was requested by Baraqiel to keep on eye on her. For now he'll have to hold in his hate, maybe if she manages to reconcile with her father then his opinion of her might change.
Underworld: Gremory Estate.
"Mou~ Akeno why didn't you let me talk to him~" the crimson haired teen pouted.
"Ara~ But he doesn't like girls that are over familiar with him."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means he doesn't like girls that are too friendly."
"What's wrong with being friendly?"
"Well it seems he analyzes people closely."
"He sounds like a jerk."
"Maybe." She chuckled.
Next Day.
The two teens were at the backyard.
"Alright so cast an enhancement on yourself." Rossweisse said.
Zeru then created a magic circle underneath him, as it flashed light.
"Hm the casting seemed a little bit slow there." Rossweisse commented, seeing the how their was a slight lag in the release of power from the circle.
"Sorry, it's just that I'm used to using half of the spell's ususal power. I was just nervous of activating the full effect."
"I see, so how does it feel?"
Noticing it now, the power of enhancement magic was different since there was more power flowing through his body. As he took a step he immediately disappeared in a flash and…
"Guh." He instantly hit a tree as he fell on his back.
As he regained back his consciousness.
"Did anybody got the license plate on that tree?"
"I think using a speed enhancement wasn't a good idea." Rossweisse helped him up.
"Thanks." He dusted himself off.
"So how did it feel?"
"The power was more greater. Then I'm used to."
"I think you'll get used to it."
"Do you think I can assign the amount of power I want when I add into the runes?"
"Yeah you can that's what runes are for, they're basically symbols used for quick activation of any spell."
"Good to know."
"Wanna see something you can do with Strength Magic?"
"Sure, since you are supposed to be my teacher. It's best to show me things I can improve on."
Rossweisse then magically equipped herself with a gauntlet. With her gauntlet hand a black aura generated around it, which Zeru recognized as strength magic. Clenching her hand into a fist, she then swung a punch shooting out a shockwave made out of Strength Magic, shattering a large rock in to rubble.
"Wow, I didn't know that Strength magic can be used as projectile magic." He said amazed at the ingenuity of the spell."
"I'm surprise you never thought of it, since magic can be used in many ways and I thought you were the clever type?"
"Well I'm sorry for being not so creative hmph~" he pouted.
"Are you going to act like this for now on?"
"Yes, since you're the teacher that gives you some seniority over me and making me the underclassmen. So yeah I will act childish and cute."
"I should expel you."
"I don't think you're qualified for that authority yet."
Rossweisse rubbed her temple in annoyance.
Rossweisse then began to teach Zeru about restraining the magic power of a regular spell while still maintaining it's original power without it being affected by the decrease of magical power consumed.
To Zeru in simple terms it was like when someone uses a strong spell with fifty points and it costs ten mp. For Rossweisse method it seems like she only needs to use five mp.
"Damn, you really are a genius."
"It's nothing really all I did was dabble and I managed to discover this method."
"Man I don't think I can do something at such a high level yet."
"Which is why I'll teach you some tips. But don't think I'll let you plagiarize using my own personal formula."
"I won't geez."
"But first lets just see how you use magic with a tome then." Rossweisse hands him a green colored tone.
"Wind magic?"
"It's more safe to use."
"Still think I'm the sort of person that will cause some destruction huh."
"We'll see."
"That always means yes he is."
"Just use a spell."
"Fiiine."
As he turned the page he then saw the various magic circle for each spell.
"Hm Elwind seems interesting." He then placed his hand on the magic circle as the tome glowed. The magic circle's energy then began to stream into his arm, which will allow him to use the spell. He then closed the tome as he swung his arm out firing a crescent shape wind attack. The wind attack fired off at quick speed as it slashed at tree creating a scar.
"Guess I didn't have enough power to penetrate through."
"If that tree falls, Grandma is going to put you through hell, making you plant that until it's fully adult grown. Also if you practiced more and learn to manipulate the density and structure of the wind you'll be able to give it cutting power."
"Okay then I'll guess I'll not do that. Really until that tree reaches adulthood?"
Rossweisse nodded.
"So how did it felt using a tome for the first time?"
"It's pretty cool, but I'm kind of worried about the spell's processing time."
"Yeah preparing a spell by tome can leave you somewhat defenseless. But as you get better the processing of the spell gets quicker."
"I see."
"If you want to try to use the larger scale type spells it's best that we take it somewhere else."
"Tempting but I don't think I'm capable of that yet. So when using Strength magic as a projectile attack, can I use it barehanded."
"It's best not to, since gathering strength magic for the use of a projectile can be strenuous by bare handed. So it's best to channel it by using a weapon or any equipment."
Zeru then brought out one of his recoil rod handles. He then set it to it's regular tonfa mode. As he tightens his grip on his tonfa, it was ignited in black energy of the Strength magic. He then thrust forward with his tonfa, firing off a black bullet of Strength magic, hitting another large rock.
"That was good and you were able to minimize the attack and still have more magic left to spare." Rossweisse commented seeing that his tonfa was still glowing with strength magic.
"Thanks for the compliment." He smiled as he dissipated the magic off his tonfa as he stored it away.
"So what else do you want to know?"
"Hm not sure, how about a break?"
"I guess I'll give you recess then."
"Yay~"
The two then saw Gondur heading out from the front door.
"Eh Gondur-san where you heading off to?" Zeru asks catching up to her.
"Oh, I'm just gonna let Trickster brat out."
"Oooh can I come with?"
"You want to see Loki-sama?" Rossweisse said in surprise, since Zeru proclaimed he'd deal with him in two years or whenever he starts a conflict.
"Yes, as a somewhat prankster I thought I should show my appreciation and let bygones be bygones."
"You sure?" Rossweisse asks with uncertainty.
"Of course, besides this is a great chance to meet a god/frost giant from Norse Mythology."
Gondur smiled seeing the complete lie in his words and she knew that he was planning for some payback. Because everyone that had been pranked by Loki want one thing, to completely beat the crap of that fucking ram horn helmet wearing douchebag.
"I don't see why not, come on Zeru." Gondur motioned him to come, as she created a magic circle, which then glowed turning into a portal.
"Okay, see ya later Rossweisse." He followed her grandmother into the portal as they left.
Asgard: Loki's Throne room.
The two then arrived.
"Whoa this is claaaassy." He whistled seeing the high-class style of the throne room.
"Well there he is."Gondur pointed to a person lying down.
"Whoa it is god class." Zeru remarked seeing the barrier was still active.
"Yep."
As they walked to the fallen body of Loki.
"Whoa he looks dehydrated." He commented, seeing his shriveled up face and noticed his gasping for air meaning he was also oxygen deprived.
"Looks like I overdone it a bit."
"You? Nah I bet you meant to do it." Zeru nudged her elbow chuckling.
"Heh cheeky brat." Gondur chuckled as she undid the barrier.
Zeru then kneeled down on his knees towards Loki who was gasping the long awaited oxygen.
"Ohayo Loki-sama~ My name is Hyoudou Zeru, it's an honor to meet the Trickster God. I do admit that little prank you did to me was humorous. So as fellow prankster I would like to declare bygones be bygones." He the picked up Loki's hand, as he goes to give him a handshake.*"
As he gripped on Loki's hand.
BZZZT
The exhausted body of the trickster began to flop around as his body was consumed by sparks of electricity streaming over his entire body. He then let go of his hand, revealing a joybuzzer on his middle finger and it had a glowing rune simple engraved.
"But I really disliked the parts of me getting into a realm of fire and a Rock troll almost killing me. For compensation I will take this, Mr Frost Smurf." He takes off Loki's dual horned helmet.
"Whoa double boner helmet." Zeru mused seeing the design of the helmet.
"What would you be doing with that?" Gondur asks.
"Is their any enchantment on this helmet?"
"Nope none. I have to say not bad with the electric spell infused rune."
"Thanks, I was contemplating if I wanted to add more power to the point of him being paralyzed. But seeing him looking ragged, I had to adjust it at the last minute."
"What a shame. You just missed the chance of being indebted by all in the Nine Realms for putting that brat out of commission for at least awhile."
"I'm sorry that I ruined the once in a life time chance of giving you and all of the nine realms peace."
"Meh, don't matter at all." She shrugged it off easily.
"Alright then. " Zeru then took few steps few steps back and began to do a couple of stretches.
"What are you doing now? Gondur asks.
"You'll see."
After he was done with his stretches, he immediately ran towards Loki. As he ran, his left foot was engulfed with Strength magic and as he got near him…
"And off you go!" Zeru yelled as he kicked with his strength-enhanced foot at the god, flinging him against the wall, making a crater in the shape of his body in the process as his body fell to the ground
"Better now?" Gondur asks smiling.
"Not yet, can you cast an enchantment on this?" Zeru asks holding a switchblade knife.
"Whoa that's a little too far, don't you think?"
"What I just want to harvest a kidney from a Frost Giant/God to sell. Plus don't people of the Nine Realms have longevity?"
"Yeah, but won't it be had for a random human to somehow have supernatural abilities from that kidney?"
"Good point." He agreed, as he put the knife away.
Just then the door opened.
"Oh Gondur-san, what a surprise." Said the Thunderer.
"Hello, Thor." Gondur greeted.
"Hm? Thor then saw the fallen body of his brother."
"Gondur-san did you have to do that?" Thor sighed.
"Hey what makes you think I would do that. I mean back then when I taught magic to that brat, I didn't go that far. Besides it's this kid that did it." Gondur pointed to Zeru and he had a look saying' Really you gonna rat me out like that.'
"Oh and who might this be?"
"Hello Thor-sama God of Thunder. My name is Hyoudou Zeru, it's a great honor to meet you. Also I was the human that ended up being in your brother's little prank." He greeted.
"Ah I see now, well I do apologize for my brother's…Playfulness." He rubbed the back of his head chuckling.
"Hey it's now water under the bridge."
"I see. So I take it you were the one that gave my brother additional damage?"
"Yes I did. I had no regrets at all."
"So do you plan to gloat that you beaten a God?" Thor joking asks.
"Nah, if I did that then many warriors will start searching for me, being all eager to challenge me."
Yes that will be quite a conundrum for you." The God of Thunder laughed.
"It will."
"Well it looks like my brother will be out of commission for a while. You are lucky that his son wasn't here."
"Which one?"
"Fenrir." Thor answered
"Oh boy, glad I dodged the fang there." Zeru said in relief since he did not want to deal with one of the Ten Top Strongest, who is known for his God Slaying fangs.
"It was nice seeing you Thor, but we got to get going back." Gondur said creating the teleportation portal.
"Ah I see. It was a pleasure seeing again Gondur-san and it a pleasure to meet you to Zeru."
"As am I. Good bye Thor-sama." With that the two left.
"Well brother, it seems you have achieved karma." The Thunderer laughed as he left the trickster, who was groaning in pain.
