Any semblance or appearance that the instructors would allow Kazuya to continue skipping grades was completely and untrue. The 3rd grade exam had made it perfectly clear that they intend him to stay with his pandora. The exam previously had been in a exam with hundreds of question, not this one. It was reduced to 2 questions. The sheer difficulty of said questions made it quite clear that these were questions not even the researchers, including Gengo Aoi could answer. The test was short, and let's face it. It would be a miracle of Kazuya passed, there where only 3 grades possible 0, 50 or 100. He had more chances of failing than passing.
The look of fear by his current classmates was easy so see, and each begged the heavens that they wouldn't have to pass the same exam. The instructor was nice enough to them, to tell them that their test would be much easier, this test was hard because he wanted to pass the grade and skip to a higher grade. One of the students asked why what that such a bad thing. The instructor explained that if he managed to graduate in 1 year from the academy it would give a bad impression on the quality of education offered to the world, and it would make the current front line pandora feel like absolute idiots, it would cause him to have not only having to fight the Nova, but not have the support of the other pandora and limiters. Kazuya was given a better chance in the other grades because this way he would be in a class with his pandora. Some of the students even made comments that the Mably family might have exerted from economic or political influence to allow it. The instructor was not going to acknowledge or contradict the rumor. It simply was not worth her time.
The test was over and every instructor knew of his chances, but against all odds he passed. This made the instructors think hard what could they do for the practical exam. Elizabeth was waiting to have a light lunch, and asked him how he did. She was proud to have such a wise lover. But deep down she did not want to be separated from him again. It was bad enough when he was a lower grade and he had a horde of potential pandora trying to seduce him. If he passed both exams he would have quite a few 4th year pandora or chevalier pandora after him. She wanted to keep him, she was hers, she loved him, and for the time they shared the same class. She found a happiness that she had always wanted.
The practical exam was announced and the way it was set up was simple. If he passed the exam their would be no need for anymore pandora and limiters, lets face it. If he passed the exam he could win the entire conflict alone. 1 limiter versus 666 S class Nova that is what he had to face. It was not one at a time, no it was all 666 Nova at the same time. The only thing that relaxed Elizabeth enough not to go into the teacher's lounge and try and beat the instructors was that it was a simulation. If he lost consciouses or his life was in any real danger the exam would end. He would fail but he would live, after a week or 2 in the academy hospital.
He walked into the exam wearing just his volt texture armor and weapons. When he saw the sheer number of Novas the only idea that came to mind was, "What did I do to earn this? Did I insult god when I was not aware?" The exam too did not last long. Kazuya did a wonderful job of defeating 128 Nova targets. He fell unconscious and was partially in nova form as the medics picked him up and took him to the medical staff. 50 % of his blood vessels had ruptured in some way or another. The only reason he was still alive was that the vessels had been replaced by Nova tissue. Half the veins in his entire body was now the equivalent of a Nova's. The part that was still human was just the parts that had been inside his major organs. MRI scan of his brain showed the biggest surprise of all. His brain was not the same as regular humans. His brain and central nervous system had been replaced at the time when his bones had finished being replaced. This meant that he had very few things that made him human anymore. He was on the path of becoming a complete hybrid. For some strange reason his heart, lungs, and other major organs including his eyes would be augmented by the Nova tissue, but for some unknown reason they would never replace it. The researcher who read all the lab results, and test speculated that Kazuya's lifespan was close to 700 to a 1000 years.
He would quite literately out live any of the present pandora and limiters, with the exception of his 5 sisters. It was speculated that they would develop like Kazuya eventually. The fact that most were in their cryogenic chambers had slowed the pace of physiological change. Miriam had hacked into the lab mainframe, and she read it and was quite please. What did they expect? that was a normal Nova lifespan after all.
He managed to recover quite quickly, the only set back was that for some weird reason he would not wake up. The doctors almost had to say that he was in a coma. His bodily functions and readings were perfectly normal. But for some unknown reason he would not wake up. The other aspect that was surprising was that Elizabeth would not leave his side. The instructors had to give her access to school books and lecture notes. She told them it was not necessary, she had her own visor she would keep up with the class, but now she needed to dedicate to make sure her lover recovered from this. One of the nurses even called her his wife, which she did argue against it.
Deep in his own mind he was back into this weird place, here he was with the an adult lady and 2 people that looked like her parents. This dream was getting weirder by the second as he was hugged by the 2 women. The older man simply look at him with a smile. "Listen, thank you for the hugs but this is getting weird. Who are you people?" One of them simply took his hand and told him, "I can't blame you for not knowing me. I am your mother, I am called Maria Lancelot in the world of your birth. These two are your grandparents, Kisuru Nova and Himel Nova. My parents from my home dimension. We are connected and talking in the Nova Collective Subconscious. You must realize Nova communicate with their mind." He looked at who was supposed to be his grandmother. "Vocal forms of communicating is simply too slow. With our minds we can communicate much faster and get things done." His grandfather laughed, "I simply can't understand how humans get anything done, you imagine how difficult it is for our search and rescue units to even look for your mother. We had to even take up arms and defend ourselves while we try and find her." Kazuya told them to see how the supposed search and rescue looked at through the human point of view. He began to remember everything he knew about it, a small movie began to play on the wall. It was shocking to say the least, they had no intention of invading or exterminating the people in his dimension. They only wanted to find and rescue their daughter. She was only able to communicate through Kazuya as soon as he was able to handle the strain of such a connection to the collective subconscious. "We had no idea, that is why the people from that dimension attack us on sight. We had no idea that we were seen as the invading monsters. This situation must be rectified as soon as possible." Himel told Kazuya as he disappeared. His grandmother told him not to worry his grandfather was going to take care of things. She too disappeared. "Mom, how can we speak, aren't you supposed to be dead?" She laughed and held him in her arms. "No silly, my husband Gengo is doing his best to heal my badly injured body. It's just that the solution I am in doesn't have the require nutrients to help me heal faster. I can't even tell him. It is so depressing not being able to talk to the man I love, even though I see him every other day. When I heal me and your sisters will have to have a long chat. My parents arranged you to marry a very pretty Nova, and we need to prepare for your nuptials." She was surprised when he looked rather shocked. "But mom, I am already in a loving relationship with Elizabeth." She pat her son on the back. "Oh, lighten up kiddo, there is nothing wrong for the crown prince having more than 1 wife." The mother and son spent a lot of time explaining how this situation had come to be, how she only wanted to explore his strange dimension, how she met and fell in love with his father, and even the attempt of her former lover to break them up, the reason for her injuries as she stopped her former lover from hurting her husband. The many times that she had given birth and the eventual need to place her where she was in at the very moment.
As soon as he woke up and saw Elizabeth, he asked her to call his father. He had much that he needed to know. She did not understand why the urgency in calling her future father-in law. But with a brief kiss on his lips she left to do as her future husband had asked. He immediately did as his mother had instructed, and he tried to communicate with his supposed arranged bride. She nearly felt out of the chair she was seating in. "Kazuya I presume, mind not connecting with such strength. You shocked me." Kazuya told her that it was his first time communicating with his mind outside of the collective subconscious. "It's all right, just remember that your emotions affect the strength of your thoughts. If you are going to ask me about our engagement, that can wait. We have anything if not time. But I do believe you are wondering if I approve of your relationship with that human? It matters not to me, you want to have a relationship with her I can wait another century, and marry you then, or we can both marry you and share you. Either way I have no problem at all. I think she is talented, confident, and loves you enough for me to approve." Miriam cut off the connection leaving a much confused and blushing Kazuya.
Gengo was too busy with his research, he had to find a way to end the invasions. He was told that his son wanted to meet him. He made several excuses until he was told something that stopped the excuse making all together. He was told that if he met his son, he would tell him a way to help his mother Maria heal faster. "He knows about Maria, I wonder if he knows about his sisters or what his mother really is. I have no choice then, I must go and meet with my son."
