"Well, I played a large variety sports. Basketball, Baseball, Swimming, Track, Kendo, Soccer, Martial Arts and Lacrosse." Takeo answered, with a straight face.
All three girls were stunned by the large number of sports he participated in.
"Y-You played that many sports?" Akira asked, still wearing a surprised expression.
"What? Did I overdue it?" Takeo asked back.
"Why would you take up that many sports?" Ako asked.
Takeo placed his hand on his dog tag.
"I guess I was trying to impress the one who gave me this." Takeo answered, as he placed the dog tag in his shirt.
"Really, who gave it to you?" Yuna asked, with a smile on her face.
Takeo sat back and looked at the ceiling, his mind started to wander.
In the middle of a decimated field, a large number of demons lied their not moving. A young Takeo stood there, his face was stained with blood and tears rolled from his eyes. And lying down behind him was his mother, and his little brothers and sister.
And standing in front of him was a man obscured by the darkness.
"Wow, you've all grown since the last time I saw you guys." The man stated, as he ruffled Takeo's hair with his hand.
The man reached into his pocket, and pulled out the silver dog tag and placing it around Takeo's neck.
"Grow up to be a strong and talented young man, Takeo." The man said, with a smile on his face. "And make a lot of friends."
"Dad." Takeo called out, with more tears rolling from his eyes.
"That is a Lightning Dharma is yours now." The man responded, with a smirk. "I'm sorry, I won't be there to watch you grow up."
The man vanished from sight, in a flash of lightning. Leaving Takeo there looking into the sky with tears coming from his eyes and falling to the ground.
"Let's just say, it's someone I looked up to for a long time." Takeo answered, with a smirk on his face. "So, is there anything else you'd girl like to know?"
The three girls smiled, and started showing Takeo around the school. They talked about the recent events in their school year.
"So what kind of music do you listen to?" Ako asked.
"I like listening to Western Music." Takeo answered. "So what do you do after school?"
Takeo looked back and saw the shy expression on Ako's face. Her face started turning redder and redder, which confused Takeo.
"I-I, uh...I got to go." Ako answered shyly, but she ran away.
"Ako-Chan!" Akira called out. Both she and Yuna ran off after her.
Takeo started scratching the back of his head out of confusion. Takeo later felt someone tapping on his shoulders, behind him was Takahata with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Takahata-San." Takeo said, as he shook Takahata's hand.
"It's been a long time Takeo-Kun. How's your mother and siblings?" Takahata asked, with a smile.
"My mother's doing alright, and so are my little brothers and sister." Takeo answered, his focus was directed towards his bread for some reason. "And I'm sorry for what, my little brother did to your bread."
"It's alright, he didn't mean to." Takahata chuckled. "Plus it all grew back."
Both of them started conversing about Takeo's family, about their studies and about their lives now.
"So do you plan on staying?" Takahata asked, as he looked at him.
"This is only a temporary job, I'll be gone as soon as my contracts done." Takeo answered.
Takahata sighed at Takeo's answer, but he smiled at him.
"Well, how about we have a match sometimes?" Takahata asked. "I'd like to see how much you've grown."
Takeo placed both his hands behind his head, and started thinking to himself.
"Yea, sure thing." Takeo answered, with a smirk on his face. "As soon as I check some stuff out."
Takeo walked outside of the school and started walking towards the fountain. He looked around making sure no one was around. Takeo placed his hand on the ground and a blue magic circle appeared on the ground.
"Fulmine Cadens De Trorum. Come Spirits of Lightning and Protect all within this Magic Barrier from Evil. Lightning Obstruction."
A small jolt of electricity traveled throughout the ground under him and traveled around the entire school. And an invisible electrical field surrounded the entire school.
"I'll place up a sensor later at night." Takeo said, as he started stretching.
"Ahh!" A female cried out.
Takeo turned around and saw a girl falling from a hill. And Takeo took off towards the girls was she was falling towards the ground.
"Damn, she's too far for me to run and catch her!" Takeo thought loudly.
He started running at a faster pace, magic energy started running throughout his entire body.
"Fulmine Cadens De Trorum. Cantus Bellax."
Takeo used that spell to enhance his own physical abilities. He ran towards the girl and caught her in his arms before she fell on the ground.
"Thank god, I was able to catch you." Takeo said, with a long sigh. "Uh, Yue-Chan."
Yue looked up and saw Takeo looking at him, she became flustered and jumped from his arms.
"Thank you, Narukami-San." Yue said, hiding the blush on her face.
"If you like you can call me Takeo, Yue-Chan." Takeo responded.
Takeo smiled at her, Yue started thinking it over to herself.
"Alright, Takeo-San." Yue responded. "By the way, what were you doing just before I tripped?"
Takeo turned towards her with a surprised expression. She noticed his expression and stared at him with a deadpanned look.
"W-What are you talking about, Yue-Chan?" Takeo asked, with a nervous expression.
"Right before I fell, I noticed a light coming from your hand." Yue answered, as she remembered what happened.
"W-Well, that was..." Takeo answered, trying to think of a lie.
"You're probably trying to come up with a lie." Yue implied, staring at him again with a deadpanned looked.
Takeo was trying figure out something to say, until he heard someone calling out to them. He turned around and saw Negi, Asuna and Konoka.
"Takeo-San!" Negi called out.
Oh, hey. Negi-Kun, Asuna-Chan, and Konoka-Chan." Takeo responded, as he waved back at them.
"You're getting a little too familiar with everyone." Asuna stated, with an irritated expression.
"Well, I'd like to befriend everyone." Takeo responded nervously. That's why I'd appreciate it if you called me by my first name."
"Hey, Yue-San." Negi said waving towards her.
"Hello, Negi-Sensei." Yue responded, her attention was still directed towards Takeo.
"So Takeo-Kun, how're you enjoying the school so far?" Konoka asked with a smile on her face.
"Everyone here is nice, I really just trying to find something to do after I'm done with classes." Takeo answered, with a slight sigh.
"I'm sure you can find something to do, you seem like the type to find something to entertain yourself." Asuna stated coldly.
"I actually think I found something to do after school." Takeo responded.
Asuna looked at the necklace around his next with a curious expression.
"Hey, Takeo where did you get that necklace?" Asuna asked.
"This thing, my dad gave this to me ten years ago. And then he left again" Takeo answered.
"Your dad left?" Konoka asked, with a saddened expression.
Negi looked at him, remembering the feeling of not knowing his father.
"Yea, my mom always did saw he was the wondering-type. You never know when he leave or when he comes back." Takeo answered, with a smirk.
"Uh, Takeo-San. I know I'm in the same position. My father..." Negi began, but was silenced by Asuna.
"You idiot!" Asuna whispered loudly to him.
"Maybe I should talk to both of them later." Takeo thought, with a smile on his face.
His attention was then redirected towards Yue, who was still looking at him. Both of them continued staring at each other, until Takeo sighed.
"Okay, I'll tell you some other time. Yue-Chan." Takeo stated.
"Alright, then." Yue responded, with a satisfied expression.
"Hey, Takeo-Kun do you mind following us somewhere?" Konoka asked.
"Yea, sure." Takeo answered.
The three of them started leaving him back towards the inside of the school. Minutes later, they led him towards a dark room.
"Guys, what's going on?" Takeo asked, as he walked in.
