CH-5

"i still can't contact the hyperion

for a moment i was a bit shocked but after a moment of realization later i spoke up "probably the honkai radiation messing with the signals"

kaito seemed to calm down after hearing that "they most probably have realized that too so might as well get done with the mission" said theresa trying to stand up but falling back onto the bed

"rest for a while" spoke sakura giving theresa a lap pillow "you and kaito both rest up for an hour or so and than we'll go back for a rematch" i said walking to the nearest window "i shall try to assist in taking down the herrsher" spoke sakura "that would certainly be appreciated, considering what happened the last time we fought" i said making theresa pout "she just caught us off-guard" chuckling lightly "she definitely caught me off-guard." i said as i rubbed the area i got stabbed through feeling some phantom pain

"i didn't think much of it before but how did u even survive that stab? it went right through your chest" asked theresa "i healed myself" i replied casually "how?" asked kaito, lifting up my hand in response "my stigmata. i don't fully understand it either but all i know that this lets me do things i shouldn't be able to do" both theresa and kaito nodding at my answer

"may i take a look?" asked sakura, moving my arm towards sakura who in response inspected hand my closely

"it reeks of the highness" spoke up the fox in her head "explain" thought sakura not getting a response in return "i said explain" she thought again "just bring your blade near the hand"

sakura unsheathed her katana and brought it near my hand, feeling slight discomfort in return as i try to pull my hand away "are you feeling something?" asked sakura "yeah it hurts a little if bring that blade near my hand"

'it didn't have this effect when it was pressed up to my neck, but why my hand?'

"i see" she sheathed her katana "seems that you had been very lucky to receive this gift" rubbing my hand lightly i replied "i guess so"


an hour has passed as all of us walked back to the school for an rematch with the pseudo herrsher

walking onto the school grounds we saw the shining form of judah embedded into the ground while the pseudo sat across on a seat of vines

she surrounded the cross with vines and tried to crush it but no success "why won't this thing break?" she asked herself a moment later she moved and avoided a kick from theresa who jumped and sat on the cross "give up already, nothing and break judah" she exclaimed smugly, the pseudo stared at theresa for a moment before an evil smirk grew on her face

"oh look who's ba-"

STAB

before she could complete her sentence i blinked towards her stabbing an honkai made lance through her chest "AND THATS PAYBACK BITCH" dissolving the lance into honkai particles forcing them into the pseudos' body as i kicked her back to make distance between us "you stupid insect, you just made me stronger with that lance of yours" laughed the pseudo healing the hole in her chest leaving a hole in the uniform with some underboob showing

grinning i said "now how about you have a taste of your own tricks" after i completed, red lines spread on her body the center being the place i stabbed my lance through

the pseudo coughed up blood as she covered her mouth in an attempt to stop it "what did you do to me?!" scream asked the pseudo "nothing much, just poisoned you" i said as i walked towards the pseudo unsheathing raijin once again "now how about we end this" kneeling down to the downed form of the pseudo, placing raijin above her heart "may you rest in peace" thrusting the blade down but before it could fully go through her heart i jumped back as to avoid a barrage of vines coming my way 'ugh' unsheathing fujin i slashed infront of me as to stop the vines from advancing

"ok now this is just becoming annoying" i spoke up besides the team including sakura "well it was a good try" said kaito patting my back "leave the vines to us, you both focus on killing her" said sakura unsheathing her own sword as it gave off a shine

'scary' as an image of mei holding a kitchen knife while smiling menacingly passed through my mind, a shiver passing through my body 'reminder to self, never to piss off sakura or mei'

the pseudo got up from the ground as the red lines on her body turned green and her once grey eyes turned green, without saying a word a barrage of vines was thrown our way which were quickly taken care of by sakura and theresa, seeing the gas making its comeback i spoke up "cover your face its the gas" lifting fujin as i cover my nose and mouth with my free hand

'gale slash'

(skill activation- gale slash: let out an slash of compressed air dispersing smoke, dust, etc.)

slashing upwards dispersing the gas around us, seeing the opening kaito rushed in catching the pseudo off-guard managing to chop one arm off before leaping back as to avoid getting stabbed by more vines

the stump left behind by the chopped off arm got covered with vines sprouting from the pseudos' body as the arm completely grew back like it was never chopped off

"the fuck?" i said as kaito landed besides me "did that arm just grew back?" i asked looking at kaito who was flabbergasted "yes she... did" letting out a sigh of annoyance i spoke up again "what is this a boss battle?" both of us jumping back to avoid the pseudo charging our way "if this is a boss fight than its definitely phase two of the battle" kicking away the pseudo as she left a nasty cut on my left cheek "well then time to step up our game"

'raikiri raishin, battle rush'

(skill activation- raikiri raishin, battle rush)

(debuff added- increased stamina consumption)

feeling the buff set in i unsheathed both the blades, blinking towards the pseudo as a blast of lightning pulverized all the vines in the way, the slash being met with an blade made of vines and honkai as the pseudo and me fell into and match of attacks and deflects with me and kaito tag teaming the pseudo and all the vines heading our way being handled by sakura and theresa


with theresa and sakura (theresa's pov)

"is it only me or these are increasing in numbers" i asked getting rid of the vine trying to reach zeren and kaito "and getting more deadly if i may add" came sakura's response as she also sliced all the vines in countless pieces with upmost grace 'focus teri, this is not the right time' i berated myself not noticing the vines about to impale me

noticing the vine too late, closing my eyes as i brought up my spears as to lessen the damage but the impact never came "don't lose your focus in times like these dear" i heard sakura say as i felt myself getting picked up, opening my eyes i was met with sakura's cold yet warm eyes gazing down on me with slight concern, my face getting red in response

"kage bunshin" i heard her say as i saw multiple copies of sakura surround us as she stop and placed her palm on my forehead, "are you feeling off? your body temperature is rising" jumping out of her arm i turned around as to hide my face "I-I'm completely fine, just getting a bit exhausted" i said stuttering slightly, extending my arm as chain from judah warped around my arm, yanking the chain extending it as i then spun it around in a large area getting rid of all the incoming vines giving us some room to breath "see I'm perfectly fine" i said looking back at sakura with some pink dusting my cheeks giving her a thumbs up

sakura just stared at me awe as a small smile blossomed on her face "i see, then let's not stop" she said picking up her katana as a dark miasma surrounded her sword seeing another barrage of vine incoming her way she simply slashed once as all the vines soon withered away, looking back at me with a playful smirk on her face "what? fox got your tongue" she asked to which i blushed again 'why does this keep happening?!' i exclaimed internally deciding not to respond i continued my task of making sure the vines didn't reach the two boys


with zeren and kaito (zeren's pov)

landing an heavy blow to the blade of the pseudo with her getting thrown back, catching herself with her vines she stabbed the vine sword into the ground as for a moment nothing happened "JUMP" exclaimed kaito, doing what kaito said we both jumped high into the air as the ground below us collapsed to reveal a pit with pointed vines jutting out

"nice callout" i complimented, seeing the wind pattern on fujin pulsing i barreled towards the ground slamming fujin into the ground which in return let out multiple wind blades around where i landed getting rid of all the vines again as some of them managed to hit the pseudo disorienting her for a bit creating an opening

seeing the opening i threw raijin piercing her chest pinning her to the ground as she was shocked by raijin's lightning, seeing that kaito went in as he chopped her head off, the body going completely still, "i think we're done here" said kaito as he pulled out raijin of the beheaded body passing it to me as i sheathed it back into its sheath "did you two kill the pseudo already?" asked theresa walking towards us with sakura besides her "the vines had stopped their assault so we came to check" said sakura

"yes we just got done, but she was very annoying to deal with" answered kaito tapping on his ear piece "the signals are still jammed" humming i said "you sure you didn't just break it during the fight?" i asked touching the cuts on my face 'generous heal'

(cannot be healed, reason: lingering corruption- cannot be healed until the corruption dissipates)

'the what'

"it's not broken, the signals are indeed still jammed" said theresa tapping on her own earpiece "that's weird" i said confused about both the signal jamming and my healing skill not working

suddenly i felt honkai levels rising extremely quickly, looking back at the dead body of the pseudo i saw the body getting up as the head slowly started reforming "GET BACK" exclaimed sakura as she sliced the body in two halves, her blade enveloped in a dark miasma, the two halves withering away as i saw the dark miasma eat away at it leaving no trace of the pseudo

for a while we all stood there ready for anything to happen, we stood there ready for anything for about five minutes before relaxing "and we're finally done" said theresa collapsing into sakursa's arms "rest now dear" simply said sakura as she placed theresa's head on her lap

just in time as we saw the hyperion appear above us

"(madam theresa, is the situation under control?)" an intercom came through "yes, everything is under control" spoke theresa into the ear piece as she got up, we hear a sigh of relief "(one of the honkai sources has disappeared but the other one is very close to your location)" hearing that i looked over to sakura and sure enough she had honkai levels on par with an full fledged herrsher

"no need to look, the second source is with us" i spoke into the intercom "(is it the pink haired girl?)" came the response of xaou "another herrsher most probably" sakura at hearing my words lowered her head in shame as she clutched her katana tighter

"didn't i tell you, these trash are not to be trusted, soon they will cast you away now that they know what you are. the only one that will stay with you forever is me" spoke the fox with sakura giving no response

"please forgive me for not revealing it sooner, I'll take my leave then" said sakura her head still bowed in shame as she turned to walk away but before she could her hand was grabbed by a smaller hand "wait, is it true?" asked theresa to which sakura nodded her head wordlessly "it's an unfortunate burden i must carry for my sins" said sakura trying to break her hand free from theresa's grip

tightening her grip "i don't know what happened in the past with you but its better if you come with us" spoke up theresa "it's better if i leave this instant before i lose control and kill everything and everyone" said sakura swiftly

"I'm a monster"

"your nothing but a monster" spoke the fox in her head

"if you truly were a monster u would have killed us all back at the hideout, but all i saw back there was a kind and sweet girl who wanted to help us, so please let us help you. let me help you" hearing the last opened the flood gates as tears started to pour down the face of sakura as she turned around to face theresa "why... why do you want to help someone like me?!" exclaimed sakura "because i cant stand to see someone suffer while i know that i can help them!" exclaimed theresa

hearing those words she finally lost all the strength in her body as she fell to the ground being caught by theresa "I'll always be here with you" said theresa to which sakura just hugged her tightly without saying anything as theresa patted her head soothingly

"(what's happening down there?)" asked xaou through the intercom "nothing, but we're gonna have an extra member coming with us

"(what)"


and with an extra member joining us that being sakura, we all left for home and on the whole way sakura clung to theresa which was quite the sight, kaito deciding to call remi and talk with her and i decided to rest in the lounge as using the buffs took quite the toll on my body, turns out the cuts on my body from the pseudo will take atleast a week to heal due to the corruption, hence here i sit with half of my body covered in bandages and my body hurting like hell 'bruh the system ain't helping right now, yeah i need to work on my own healing techniques' i thought has i brought up my hand that had the supposed stigmata on it 'is this and actual stigmata or just the system' i thought as it glowed a purple hue in response 'this is way too complicated'

reaching we all went our own way, kaito going to his and remis shared home and me entering himeko's house

"yo I'm back" i said as i walked into the house taking my shoes off as my body once again gave me a reminder on how i needed to rest for my passives to kick in 'man i hate not being able to heal myself' "welcome back zeren" i heard mei say as i looked up to see her walking towards me with a dazzling smile on her face which faded as soon as she saw the bandages and blood stains on my clothes "what happened on the mission?" she asked, concern eminent in her voice as she moved closer to me placing her hand on the blood stain on my chest as i winced in response

"we should inform himeko about this and get you some medical help" she said grabbing my hand as to drag me to where himeko was "I don't need any medical help mei I'm perfectly fine" making her stop and look back at me "no, look at yourself, you need to get checked up" she said with an stern expression on her face as i felt her hands tremble "I'll recover in no time mei, you don't have to worry about anything" i said moving closer to her "b-but your injuries w-" before she could continue i pulled her into an hug as i patted her head "I'll be fine mei, just need to rest for some days and I'll be fully recovered"

feeling her tremble less and less i heard her speak "i just don't want to lose anyone anymore" hearing that i had and realization 'oh damn, the nagazora incident's still traumatizing her' tightening the hug as to comfort her i said "you won't lose anyone anymore, I'll make sure of it" 'even if I'll end up dying because of it' feeling her nod as we stayed like that for a while

after some time i spoke up "I'll go rest for a while before i pass out" walking towards my room i heard mei speak up "what about the katanas?" giving it a thought i said "just keep them in the living room for now, I'll pick em up later" with that i entered my room and lied down on the bed, passing out instantly

after i don't know how long i got woken up by mei who was in my room "zeren, zeren wake up already" sitting up on the bed in the same outfit as left the house in, i heard mei continue "dinner will be ready soon so get cleaned and come to the table" yawning i replied "give me ten minutes" getting up from the bed doing a few stretches "I'll be waiting" said mei leaving the room to go back to the kitchen

"alright time to take a quick bath" walking into the bathroom i took a shower which took around 5 minutes, putting a fresh pair of clothes on i walked out towards the kitchen to see mei cooking, looking towards the sofa i saw both kiana and bronya playing an video game and himeko on the table going through some papers, looking up from the papers noticing me

"ah zeren, i heard you and kaito had your first mission, how did it go?" sitting down on the table i answered "could have been better if i were not to get stabbed through the chest" hearing my words himeko spit out the water she was drinking an worried look crossing her face "you what?!" getting up from her seat and looking over me hurriedly "calm down himeko, I'm completely fine" i said making her let out a breath "you just gave me a heartattack ya know?" smiling slyly, i asked "ho? soo worried about me? did i happen to have caught your affection?"

coughing with a slight blush on her face she replied "i-it's nothing, i was just worried that i would lose my cook" making my smile widen "well i ain't going anywhere anytime soon"

"i didn't ask before but where did you get this blade from?" asked mei walking towards me with raijin in hand "be careful with that one mei" i cautioned, seeing mei unsheathe the blade and give it a few test swings "this blade is very well made" said mei in appreciation of raijin's design

"you can thank my stigmata for that" i said scratching my arm "you have the weirdest stigmata from all the verities of stigmata's I've come across" said himeko "I'll take that as a compliment"


after dinner

"sooo, any reason why you called everyone here?" i ask himeko and theresa who arrived here with sakura just few moments ago "it's somewhat important, let's wait for kaito and remi before we start" said himeko to which i just nodded and sat at the edge of the sofa besides mei

hearing a knock himeko spoke loudly "come in" and in came kaito and remi "and we're here" said remi "how about you two take a seat first" complying to theresas request they both sat down at the sofa at the side of the one i was on

"now that everyone's here, the reason we called you all here is to inform that everyone here will be assigned to a Valkyrie squad" at here that kiana's and remi's eyes lit up "first we have squad V which will be under himeko's wing and the squad will consist of kiana, bronya, mei and remi" at hearing that both kiana and remi groaned "why do i have to be on a team with bratnya? and not zeren-senpai?!" exclaimed kiana "zeren-onii sama is not an Valkyrie, hence he nor kaito can be on the squad" spoke bronya in a monotone voice

"well yes and no" said himeko "it's the fact that they are knight's" finished theresa "now before anymore questions, the squad that kaito and zeren will be the part of consists of me, sakura, kaito and zeren" me and kaito throwing a thumbs-up at each other at hearing the team composition "the mission played a major part in this discission, both kaito and zeren showed good synergy with each other during the mission, same with me and sakura" finished theresa sounding rather smug at the end

"and what's our squad called?" asked kaito "i did not think of a name yet, I'm open for suggestions" said theresa looking at me "don't look at me, I'm bad at coming up with names" i said quickly "anyone else?" asked theresa looking at both kaito and sakura with both of them shaking their heads in a gesture of no, letting out a sigh theresa spoke "we'll come up with a name soon enough"

"anything else we need to know?" asked mei this time to which himeko perked up "oh yeah almost forgot but you all will be studying here" at hearing that kiana let out a groan of annoyance "fair enough i suppose, but about sakura? is she going join as a student or" i asked theresa "we aren't really sure at this moment but there is a chance that she will act an assistant to me" nodding at the answer "when do we start though?" asked kaito before i could "tomorrow, come to my office before the classes start to get your uniforms and that will be on 6 in the morning"

"would that include me and kaito?" i asked to which i got a yes in the form of a nod "uniforms for everyone will be ready by then, and now i shall take my leave" said theresa walking out of the door with sakura following but gave a slight bow "have a good night's rest everyone" and left through the door following behind theresa

"we'll get going too now" said remi dragging kaito out the door "well we all should head to bed now" i said heading to the fridge to grab something to drink "the bronya shall head to her room now" said bronya moving to her room "i don't wanna wake up at 6 in the morning, its too early" complained kiana "it's only for tomorrow kiana" said mei "but still it's too early" exclaimed kiana

himeko came up behind kiana bonking her head "stop complaining and go to bed already" said himeko annoyed "you all should head to bed actually, tomorrows a monday so work for everyone and that includes you to himeko go to bed already" i completed pointing at himeko making her narrow her eyes at me "and what will you be doing" pointing back at me "sleeping" i said

3 hours later

"i lied" i said to no one as i got up from my bed looking over to my phone seeing that it was 2:41 in the morning

walking towards my closet i opened it taking out my jacket and putting it on, walking out of the room silently i made my way towards the front door and exiting the house without making any sound "now then, a night ride should do the trick" looking around to be greeted with silence and darkness

walking towards the bike i pushed it till the gates and was met with an unexpected surprise "may i know why your leaving this late in the night" asked sakura who was leaning besides the gates her arms folded "just a quick ride, I'll be back in time for the uniform" staring at me for a bit before she started walking back to the main buildings "i shall trust you on that" with that i pushed past the gates and sat on the bike kick starting the engine as it roared to life


driving at night has always been my go to thing to do when I'm unable to sleep. the sounds of the engine and the winds being music to my ears

as i continued driving i saw that i was nearing the city, deciding to stop by convenience store i kept driving until i saw one, passing by some people still on the streets as some restaurants still taking in customers seeing the city night life in full swing, seeing a convenience store i drove upto it stopping right outside it in a parking spot

'i better not get hit with a anime cliche'

walking into the store half expecting to see someone i would know but looking around i didn't see anyone other than some random teens buying some snacks, going to the drinks section i scanned the fridge to find something to drink "nah.. not that... not that either... this looks good" picking up a can of this worlds version of coke i turned to walk to the counter but i saw someone i didn't expect to see here of all places

the person or rather the pair i saw was none other than of rita and durandal, with durandal looking for something as rita stood behind her, noticing me staring at them as rita shot me a look, seeing that i swiftly moved away now trying to get out of here as fast as possible

'yeah no i ain't tryna get into unnecessary shit'

going up to the counter i paid for the drink as i walked back to my bike, popping the can open taking a sip letting out a hmm

(slight hostile intent detected)

at hearing that i stopped near my bike, looking around i spoke up "come out already" for a moment nothing happened but after a while i saw rita and durandal move out of the shadows "a sharp one aren't you?" asked rita her scythe held behind her back "you lovely ladies need anything?" i asked fully turning to face the two "who are you" asked durandal tensing up as if ready to lunge at me at any moment

"you can call me zeren. and who might you two be?" i asked back shoving my free hand in my pocket as i sipped on my drink "you may call me durandal and this here is rita, we both are Schicksal Valkyries and you?" she asked back relaxing a little and the scythe in rita's hand disappearing "well I'm a knight, schicksal knight" at hearing my words rita perked up "oh may you be the zeren who survived the nagazora impact?" asked rita, durandal looking a bit surprised at her words "that's him?" asked durandal to rita "yes, yes i am indeed him" i said

staring at me for a while durandal spoke up "i expected you to be more.." "older?" i asked to which she nodded "well I'm 18 so I'm somewhat old i guess" scratching the back of her neck she said "i take it that the other knight is also 18?" crushing the empty can of soda i shook my head "no he's 17 but not to underestimate he still is pretty darn strong" hearing that durandal's eyes lit up "oh really, now i wanna have a spar with him" said durandal excitedly

"so any reason why high ranking valks are here of all places"

"I'm afraid the answer to that is classified" said rita swiftly bowing slightly "durandal-sama its time we leave for HQ" durandal sighing at hearing rita words "well it was nice meeting the newest Schicksal knight face to face, until we meet again" said durandal waving while walking away with rita in tow, waving back "soon we shall meet again, strongest Valkyrie" i said the last part low enough so that she wouldn't hear me

pulling out my phone and checking the time as it was 3:56, deciding to go back i got on my bike and drove back to the house

after reaching the house

i walked towards my room intent on taking a bath and start on preparing breakfast for everyone

after i was done with the bath i checked the time again as it was 4:57 am, walking out of the room i went into the kitchen and got started on breakfast

half-way into preparing breakfast i heard a yawn, looking back i saw mei in her pajamas walking towards where i was "want something to drink?" i asked mei, which seemed to wake her up "it's fine I'll make something to drink myself" as she walked towards the counter, extending my arm i said "I'll be cooking today" hearing that she hesitantly sat down on the table "I'd like a cup of coffee then" mei said to which i nodded "one cup'o coffee coming right up"

after a while everyone woke up and got ready to head to theresa's office

"everyone ready?" i asked with kaito and remi besides me "yes we're ready" said mei walking towards us with kiana and bronya following behind, seeing himeko walk towards us i asked "you coming with us?" letting out a yawn she replied "no, i got some time left before my work starts, get going now I'll see you all in class" seeing her walk back inside i spoke up "let's get going then" walking towards the main building where theresas office is located with everyone in tow

reaching the door to theresa's office i knocked getting a "come in" opening the doors i six of us walked in "good morning everyone, lets get to point as its 7 am and not 6 am" pointing towards a table in between of the 2 sofas it had some what i thought were uniforms "those are everyone's uniforms, there are two version of them choose whichever one you like"

on the table were uniform with everyone's name written on it, for the girls uniform one being white and the other being red, as for the male version of the uniform both being a mix of red and white one with more focus on red and other having more focus on white "after you all are done choosing head to the changing rooms and get changed, I'll be giving you all a tour of this place"

5 minutes later in the boys changing rooms

"this does not look like a uniform" said kaito giving himself a look over infront of a mirror, he was an open white jacket with red highlights and the schicksal embraided in the back under the jacket he had an white button up and slick back jeans to top off the look "well, this isn't your traditional highschool, so the look of the uniform? i kinda expected it" i finished giving myself a look over as i was in the same type of uniform as kaito but the major difference being that mine was more focused on red and black with some white highlights "i still don't understand why i got a tie and not you" i said picking up the tie that had schicksal logo on it "i would tell you if i had known" with that we both exited the changing room making our way back to theresa's office

"well that was quick" said theresa who had been drinking something "yeah i have a question, why did i get a tie and not him" i asked theresa lifting up the tie as i pointed at kaito "to put it simply, the red version has a tie and not the white one and its your job to have that on whenever your in your uniform" finished theresa with a huff, sighing i put the tie around my neck as to complete the uniform look

soon after the girls had arrived with each one of them having their own version of the uniform

"alright now that everyone is changed lets start the tour and the last stop shall be the classroom you all will study in" with that we were led on a tour around the campus as i saw some places i recognized from back when i played this game, after a while into the tour we came across a section of the campus that theresa skipped

"if you don't mind me asking what was that building that we just passed by?" i asked to which theresa looked back at the building in question "that's the science team building, used by only the science team personnel as to design, create and repair battlesuits and weapon used by the valkyries and now knights too" completed theresa "any way i can join the science team?" my question catching theresa off guard "why do you ask?" asked theresa back "just wanted to know" i answered simply

after that the tour had ended and we were guided to a classroom

"alright we're here, wait outside until i call you all in" with that she walked into the classroom making the class go silent instantly seeing a glimpse of himeko in looking back at me with a smirk on her face 'wait hol up, how do i introduce myself i don't have a last name... yeah I'll just go with no last name' "this is gonna be chaotic" i heard kaito say "yep" i agreed

"you all can come in now" we heard theresa say "ladies first" both me and kaito said at the same time as we made way for the girls to walk in first, kaito walking in soon after

waiting outside for a bit i schooled my facial expression as i put an confident smile on my face walking into the classroom soon after and standing besides kaito with one hand in my pocket and other having the bag given to us by theresa "i shall be taking my leave now, make sure you lot make them feel welcomed" with that theresa walked out of the class, "now then how about you all introduce yourselves" hearing that the first in line kiana introduced herself followed by mei, bronya, remi and kaito as my turn came to introduce myself

"name's zeren, a knight, hope to have a great time here" looking over everyone's expression, no ones expression had changed a slight bit "you all can take a seat in the back row" said himeko pointing at the back of the class where a whole row was empty "you tried" said kaito patting my back trying his hardest not to laugh "shut it" i replied as we all walked to the back of the class. i took the middle seat with mei sitting besides me kiana taking her seat her seat besides mei and bronya besides kiana. kaito taking a seat at my other side and remi besides him

"alright time to get started with todays subject" said himeko turning around and writing on the blackboard "oh fuck me" i heard kaito say, himeko had written the subject

physics.

after 3 hours of complex physics and many head slams by kaito later

"that was surprisingly uncomplicated now that i think about it" i said as i closed the book i was writing in "you call that uncomplicated?" asked kaito an expression of disbelief on his face "i still had somewhat of a hard time understanding half of the things himeko said" said mei "the bronya agrees with zeren onii-sama, this was normal for the bronya" added in bronya with kaito sulking as remi just patted his head, "excuse me, can i ask you some questions?" said a girl who had walked infront of my desk, soon after all the six of us were surrounded by the whole class

rest of the day went by normally with me getting to see the man himself welt yang who was posing as an history teacher here. other than that we all went back to our respective houses

after dinner

"pretty surprised you were able to understand complex physics" said himeko to which i just shrugged "pretty simple if you throw logic out of the window" himeko humming in response. feeling my phone vibrate i glanced over to it to see who messaged me at this time "{the same place, same time}" 'the fuck?' confused i sent a message back "{what?}" it didn't help that this was from an unknown number "{you know what i mean}" getting even more confused i wrote back "{i don't. and who are you?}" "{3:30 convenience store}" 'is that durandal? why is she asking me to meet at the convenience store again? man what did i get myself into' "{k}" i wrote back just in time as i got an call from theresa

answering i spoke "you need something theresa?" "(no, its just that i have a solo mission for you)" hearing that i perked up "a mission already? didn't we just complete one just the day prior?" i asked "(well this one's from the overseer himself, it's supposed to a assessment on how well you can do on solo missions)" letting out a sigh

"what's the mission about?"
