Makoto yawns as he takes his backpack and waits for Ryoji. "Are you tired Makoto?" asks Elizabeth who was still eating her breakfast. "He's always tired. "Come on we gotta go!" jokes Death sprinting towards the door and taking Makoto with him, forcing the Universe to follow his pace.

"Do you want to do something after school?" asks Ryoji with an hopeful look while thery are walking towards Kuoh Academy. Makoto shakes his head. "Sorry Ryoji, but today I have club activities. Maybe another time" says the blue-haired. Ryoji reluctantly accepts. "Well, it seems I'll ask someone else". When they arrive at Kuoh Academy they depart from each other to go to their respective homeroooms.

04/13/2012, Music Club, After School.

Makoto has to admit that today's club activities has been fruitful. With a determination greater than ever Irumi infected everyone with her passion and made them finally play something... acceptable, nothing extraordinary, but it is still progress.

"Good work" says Makoto after the club time ends. The members smile proud of themselves and of their work. "Senpai I have a suggestion!" says Irumi raising her hand. "Why don't we ask the Student Council if we could organize the musical aspect of this year's graduation ceremony?" proposes Irumi. The other club members gasp at Irumi's proposal, she clearly didn't tell anything to them. "Isn't it a bit too early to talk about these projects? We're still in april after all" points out Watanabe, doubtful about taking on such an important task.

"Come on! We have to dream! We can do it, no sorry... we WILL do it" exclaims the red dragon empress, emphasis on the will part. Her clubmates look at Makoto, secretly hoping he refuses Irumi's idea. "Wilk you go ask if this is possible?" asks insistingly the girl.

"Only if everyone agrees" answers Makoto. The others want to say no, but the stare Irumi is giving them it's stopping then from doing so. Almost as she is 'politely' suggesting them to say yes to her suggestion, even if it seems to be a bit imposed.

"Ehm..." stutters Jin, trying to find the words to speak his mind. "If you don't want to do it it's completely fine" says Makoto. "We don't want to!" shout in unison Inoue Watanabe and Jin. "Traitors..." mutters Irumi.

After this matter is dealt with, the club is adjourned to the next meeting. "Ehy senpai can we talk?" asks Irumi before Makoto leaves. The boy nods his head. "Please help me become stronger" she says, not too loudly, bowing her head.

Makoto frowns in confusion. "What do you mean?" he asks. "I became a devil to make justice for my parents' death, but I don't know what to do" says the girl frustrated. "The president told me everything about being a devil, yesterday I started to do devil's work and senpai Himejima taught me the basics about magic. The problem is my sacred gear, they can't teach anything, but the basics and Ddraig is a terrible teacher!".

'I heard that' complains the red dragon. 'Sorry I didn't want to offend you' apologizes the girl. "I don't think I can help you either. I don't know anything about sacred gears" answers Makoto.

"I have to disagree Makoto Yuki, even if you don't know how a sacred gear works training with a dragon is the most efficient way to improve for another dragon" says Ddraig manifesting the gauntlet on Irumi's arm.

'I'll gladlyyy help good old Ddraiiig and the Magiciiiaan' creaks Fafnir. 'You are certainly a worse teacher than anyone else here lizard' grunts Odin. 'I agree with the gold man here. Dragons use fire, Great Apollo would surely be a better instructor' says Apollo nodding his head while he praises himself. 'Save me your narcissism' says annoyed Odin. 'My companions we are all forgetting we have another dragon here with us! Our dear friend Kohryu!' proclaims Robin Hood. 'I wouldn't mind teach the young Magician how to behave in a fight' calmly says Kohryu, hiding his desire to teach the youngsters.

"Senpai can you help me?" asks Irumi. "Yes, we can" answers Makoto. "Will Fafnir train with my partner?" asks Ddraig full of curiosity. Makoto just shakes his head. "It doesn't matter, follow me senpai, Kiba showed me the place where he usually trains".

Instead of following her Makoto stops the girl. "We need a better place" with this said Makoto enters the Velvet Room with Irumi. "What is this place?" asks the girl looking around herself. "The Velvet Room" briefly answers Makoto as he heads to the Tartarus' door. "There is a good place we can use". Irumi simply nods and follows him.

While the two are walking towards the Tziah Block Irumi looks amazed around herself, gazing stupefied at Tartarus' chaotic architecture. The two arrive in the empty area where they can start. "Yes this is better than the place Kiba uses" says Irumi half laughing. "Ddraig what do you say we do?" asks Irumi to her partner. "Fafnir just has to fight you. A battle is the best way of training" tells Ddraig shocking Irumi, "What? I can't fight a dragon! Not yet!" Ddraig laughs at Irumi's answer. "I would have done anything to have a dragon fight with a partner of mine without it trying to kill him. Now that we have a chance to do this don't waste it. Makoto Yuki you can call Fafnir" says Ddraig.

'Iii can go' screeches Fafnir trying to summon himself, but Kohryu stops him. 'It's my task to teach the Magician how to fight and this unknown red lizard some respect' tells Kohryu a rare hint of annoyance, caused by Ddraig ordering Makoto around, in his voice. 'Universe you can sit down and rest. I will handle this from now on' says Kohryu. Makoto nods mentally and summons the golden dragon. "Kohryu!".

"I am Thou. Thou art I. From the Universe in thy soul I'm born. Earth is what I am. Water, Air, Metal and Fire is what I rule. Balance and Order is what I represent. I am equilibrium and armony incarnate. I am Kohryu, the Yellow Dragon and as thus the faithful warden of the Universe"

The form of the Huang Long hovers above Irumi and Ddraig. "Well Ddraig it seems it won't be your buddy to train me" mockingly says Irumi to her partner. "Ddraig?" says Irumi looking at the green gem of the gauntlet. Ddraig is silent. "What is the problem whelp?" asks Kohryu with a calm, but still intimidating tone.

"This is... impossible. I don't believe this. I can't believe this. Even if you are from another world, even if it makes total sense for you to exist... The original Huang Long... the third dragon god" in an unexpected reveration Ddraig greets Kohryu. "Dragon god? what does it mean?" asks Irumi.

"It doesn't matter Magician. You are here to learn how to fight and I to teach you" says Kohryu transforming into his human form and adjusting his straw hat. The dragon gets closer to Irumi. "I expect you to collaborate right Y Ddraig Goch?" asks Kohryu. "It would be an honor" says Ddraig in a soft almost scared voice.

Irumi looks preoccupied at Kohryu. "Thank you sir" she says in great respect influenced by Ddraig's behaviour. "Please please. I'm humbled Magician you don't have to use such a tone with me" says reassuringly the dragon making the girl sigh in relief. 'Ddraig I don't understand why you are so frightened he seems like a kind old man' mentally says Irumi to her partner hiding a laughter.

'Partner... in our world dragons are the strongest. And the strongest dragons are the dragon gods. Great Red, Ophis... and the Huang Long at least until he was killed in a fight against the other two, the shinto tried to resurrect their creator, but they just summoned a ghost. Nothing can stand in between a dragon fight. I know this isn't the Huang Long of our world. Even with Fafnir I felt the same thing. He's even stronger...' every Ddraig's word is filled with terror, but Irumi decides to ignore him. 'Take it easy Ddraig' she then looks at the old man in front of her. "I'm in your care master!" she says bowing.

Kohryu's training is well thought and organized. Balanced between theory and practice. He studies the Boosted Gear's functioning and corrects every error of Irumi regarding her technic.

"That gauntlet is really a weapon to be reckoned with" comments Kohryu. The yellow dragon turns towards Makoto. "Universe I have an idea on how to help the Magician understand her Sacred Gear" he delves back into Makoto's mind.

'Those objects are similar to nihil weapons I think you could craft one similar to her' says Kohryu. 'Yeah I thought about it too' says Apollo. 'Let the shining Apollo show you his magnificence Universe!'. As Apollo says this a glove made of soft purple silk with little gold chains adorning and securing it to the arm appear on Makoto's right hand. A bright omega shines on the palm the glove with a red light.

"What is that senpai?" asks Irumi looking closer at the glove. "This should be a Eacred Gear equivalent I think" says Makoto testing the glove around his hand. 'It feels comfortable' he notices. 'I know, I know, you can call me Apollo the Style himself' hums the god proud of his work. 'It needs a name, let's call it Python! Honouring my deed of defeating that monster' speaks the greek god. 'Your ability to name things it's even worse than your humility' comments Odin. The personas start a fight, but Makoto ignores them.

He and Irumi spar for a while, by taking advantage of Apollo's prowess at Hand to Hand combat and Makoto's own experience after his many training sessions with Sanada he is able to teach the girl how to properly land a punch. The glove on Makoto's right hand, which was renamed Pyro Alpha after an heated discussion between Apollo, Odin and surprisingly Jack Frost who wanted to give his opinion, behaves like a Sacred Gear explained Kohryu. It responds to the user's feelings and emotions.

After a good thirty minutes Irumi falls on the ground breathing heavily. "Thanks senpai, but I'm done".
