Chapter 14: Mistery


Werfen, Austria, 12 years ago

Deep inside the forest near the village of Der Schatten there was a man and a boy. The man had a small beard and dark blue hair with some light blue locks, the boy was an almost exact copy of the man, but with black hair and only inherited the light blue locks, the man walked with the boy accompanied by two gray wolves that escorted them, and they stopped in front of a huge rock with strange symbols.

"What is this place, Vater?" the young Kree asks.

"This, cub, is a symbol of some friends of the family," the man says, pointing to the strange circular stone.

"Friends?" Kree asks.

"That's right, they have helped our family since the time of the Crusades,"

"The Crusades? Oh, it's the time of our It's the time of our great, great, great, great, great grandfather, right?" Kree comments smiling.

"Exactly, cub, they helped your grandfather many, many years ago, and they helped me before your sister Kreea was born," he comments.

"How are they like?"

"They are… Peculiar. Despite their appearance, they are beings of kindness, who seek peace and prosperity for people,"

"Like heroes!" Kree says, smiling.

"Exactly, they are heroes, but they only come out when it is absolutely necessary. One day, cub, this door will open, and they will come out to help you when the time comes, when you need it most," the man answers smiling.


Kree's House, Japan, present

Another day began. Kree woke up in his room, slightly tired. He had that dream again, he remembered that day, his father showed him a stone with strange symbols on it, he said that strange beings lived there. The Order of the Guardians, that's what his father called it. Where were they when those two madmen attacked his home? They were supposed to help his father, but they never showed up.

She decided to go to her bathroom to wash her face, she needed a cold shower before breakfast. After finishing his shower, he went to the kitchen where his sister was preparing breakfast.

"Guten morgen, bruder," the beautiful redhead greets, smiling.

"Guten morgen, shwester," the boy answers, yawning a little.

"Mail from Mom arrived," Kreea says pointing at some envelopes in her hand.

"What is it about?" Kree asks, taking his cup of coffee.

"Taking advantage of your little school break, and the fact that you still haven't gone to camp, Mom decided that you should come home for your birthday," Kree looked intrigued.

"It doesn't sound like a bad idea, but wouldn't we go to I-Island?" Kree says thinking.

"Yeah, well, it's okay if we don't go this year, after all, it's a family matter, or, we can always send a representative," explains the redhead.

"Well, you're right about that," Kree comments.

"And… well. She sent extra tickets for you to invite your friends," Kreea mentions, making her brother spit out his coffee.

"W-what?" the boy asks, surprised. "M-mom wants my friends to go to Werfen?" His nerves began to get better of him.

"That's right, now, give me names," asked the eldest while eating her sweet bread.

"I-I, I-Is it wise? I thought mom wanted to keep you-know-what a secret?" Kree says scratching the back of his neck, his sister just smiles.

"I think you've been through enough together that they deserve to know, trust me, everything will be okay," Kree sighs thinking for a moment.

"Okay, I'll tell you names," Kree answers, looking at his sister.

Later

He walked back and forth in his room, feeling excited by the idea, yet still somewhat apprehensive. How would they react to the idea? Kree's head was in the clouds; the news had taken him by surprise. His mother wanted to put his secret aside so he could enjoy a real birthday with his friends and family. The idea sounded great, but he didn't know how his classmates would react when they found out the truth.

Tetsutetsu and Ibara stated that they would continue to treat him as they always had upon learning of his affluent background. While he indeed comes from a wealthy family, the true nature of his family's status extends beyond mere wealth. After a few moments he sighed and walked out of his room with some names on it.

Kreea was talking on the phone to take care of some business, when she saw her brother approaching with a sheet of paper in his hands.

"Thank you very much, bye," the young woman hangs up "Are you ready?" she asks.

"Yes, the names of the guests," the boy answers, showing the sheet to his sister.


Guests:

Shiozaki Ibara

Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu

Kendo Itsuka

Komori Kinoko

Honenuki Juzo

Tokage Setsuna

Monoma Neito


"Ok, that would be all," Kreea comments smiling "I will inform mom immediately," the girl says goodbye leaving Kree alone with his thoughts.

Ibara House

The young green-haired girl was feeding her vines, after what happened with Kamui Woods, she had developed the habit of wetting her hair to at least increase her resistance to fire a little.

"Ibara, honey, you have mail," her mother informs, the girl stands up confused, walking she sees her mother at the table pointing to a small golden envelope.

"What is this, Mom?" the girl asks.

"No idea, it came with the mail," the woman answers. Ibara looks at the somewhat laminated envelope when a small light scans the girl's face.

"Identified, Shiozaki Ibara," announces a voice opening the envelope.

The young green-haired girl ended up finding a sheet of semi-hard paper that was completely white. The paper began to be traversed by some blue lights as if they were circuits while they took the shape of a dragon's head.

"What is this?" Ibara asks as the symbol begins to transform into a hologram that takes the form of a woman she knows. "Kreea-san?" the green-haired girl asks, confused.

"Dear Lady, Shiozaki Ibara, did I say that right, Kree?" the hologram asks, looking away "Too formal? I think I taught you how to talk to girls?" the holographic redhead scolds her brother "Did she tell you to say that? Ow, that's cute. Anyway, what I came for, ahem, by means of this letter, you have been invited to my brother's celebration, Eisendrache. Kreeholo," that took the green-haired girl by surprise.

"Celebration?" she asks, confused.

"Because my mother wants to celebrate with the friends he has made, she wants to invite you to our home, Werfen, where the celebration will take place," Ibara and her mother open their eyes in surprise "If you get permission from your parents, a fingerprint scanner will appear at the bottom right of the page,"

Some blue lines move towards that part of the leaf forming the silhouette of a fingerprint, drawing the attention of mother and daughter.

"If you accept the invitation, you will be summoned to the airport in Japan at 4:00 am since the trip to Wefren will be a bit long, Auf Wiedersehen!" with that said, the hologram turns off and the fingerprint symbol starts to flash a little.

"M-mom," Ibara says, barely recovering.

"That boy, Eisendrache, was the one who won the Sports Festival, right?" the woman asks.

"A-that's right," Ibara answers, "He's also a great friend," the girl adds.

"Yes, from what I've been able to see it is, do you want to go?" the woman asks, her daughter simply nods, the adult smiles and puts her thumb on the scanner "I authorize my daughter, Shiozaki Ibara, please attend that celebration," says the woman smiling.

"Authorization confirmed, we await your assistance, Lady Shiozaki," the voice answers.


Tetsutetsu's House

The gray-haired boy was training as usual in his room hitting a punching bag, then his mother called him, when he went to her he showed her a golden envelope.

"What is that?" Tetsutetsu asks, looking at the envelope.

"It's for you," the woman answers.

"Are you sure it's for me? I've never received anything so elegant," she answers looking at the envelope until the same thing happened to her as with Ibara, her face was scanned.

"Acknowledged, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu," says the voice opening the envelope.

"What is this thing?" Kreea's hologram appeared again.

"Greetings, Herr Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu," Kreea looks in another direction again "Too formal too? Are they the closest to you? Why didn't you tell me? You did? Oops, my fault," the girl regains her composure "Ahem, on behalf of my mother, Eisendrache Sylvianne, you have been invited to celebrate your Kree friend's son's birthday. Since the celebration will be held at our home, Werfen, the permission of your parents or guardian is required to confirm your attendance," Kreea says, smiling.

Neither Tetsutetsu nor his mother expected such big news. On one hand, Tetsutetsu was excited that Kree was having a birthday and could celebrate with his friends, and on the other hand, his mother was worried; it seemed like too much trouble to travel to Europe just for a birthday, especially with the super formal tone in which the girl in the hologram spoke.

"If authorized, you would be present at the airport in Japan at 4:00 am to board the plane that will take you to our home. The way to confirm your attendance is on the scanner at the bottom right of the sheet. The fingerprint must be that of your parents or guardian authorizing your presence. We await your response, Auf Wiedersehen!" the message ends.

"I can't believe it! Kree-kun's birthday! This is great!" his mother looked somewhat worried "Mom?" Tetsutetsu asks.

"I-I'm sorry, it just took me by surprise. A birthday in another country? Would that be wise?" the woman asks.

"Please mom, of course it is, besides, Kree-kun told me that he doesn't leave the house much. So, this would be the first time that his friends are going to celebrate him, as his best friend, I have to be there. Besides, it's only his birthday, right? What's the worst that can happen?" says the gray-haired boy trying to convince his mother.

"I guess you're right. Okay, but bring me a souvenir," the woman asks.

"Of course," the boy answers, his mother puts her finger on the scanner.

"I authorize my son, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, come to the celebration," the woman says.

"Authorization confirmed, we look forward to your assistance, Herr. Tetsutetsu," the message ended.

And so, one by one, all the chosen ones received their respective invitations, and each one was as excited as the other, in fact, there was another person that Kree wanted to invite, and he was talking to them on the phone.

"Hello?" a female voice is heard on the other line.

"Lady Mirko," Kree speaking.

"Hey, little wolf," the adult answers, smiling. "What is this call for? I was training and you know I don't like being interrupted," the professional comments.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's just that… my mother wants me to come home for my birthday. As a thank you for her training, I wanted to invite her," the boy answers.

"It sounds like fun, but I'm afraid I have to decline the offer," the woman answers somewhat disappointed.

"Why?" Kree asks.

"Well, let's say that after a certain 'Cognitive Incident', I had some... visitors at the agency, wait, I'll show you," the heroine opens the camera on her phone and Kree watches Joker and the Phantoms Thieves training, albeit in their civilian identities.

"Phantom Thieves!" Kree asks in surprise.

"Crazy, right? They all awakened their Quirks one day, now the abilities they have in the Metaverse work in the real world, how? I have no idea and I don't want to know either, since I was the only person who knows about it, they asked me to train them, and that's what I'm doing, Hey , brats! Say hello to the little Wolfie!" says the white-haired girl .

"Hello Fenrir-san," Makoto greets.

"Hey there, man," Riuyi answers.

"You guys look good," Kree says smiling "How did this happen?" the boy asks.

"Our Personas spoke to us one night, we don't know how, but we felt our willpower grow so much that we could summon them in the Real World," comments Yusuke.

"By the way, we want to introduce you to a new member," says Joker pointing to a short girl with orange hair who was hiding behind Joker.

"Who is she?" Kree asks.

"It's called Oracle," Ann comments.

"Long story, very funny, but now she is part of the Phantoms Thieves, when we are legal," Ren clarifies.

"Well, welcome to the world of heroes, it was a pleasure talking to you guys, I won't take up any more of your time, Auf Wiedersehen," Kree says goodbye and sneaks in "That went well," he replies before throwing himself onto his bed.

All those who received an invitation followed the recommendations in the invitation, from the clothing they wore because of the cool weather in Werfen to the instructions to follow from the assigned guide.


Departure day, 4:00 am

It was very early at the airport in Japan, the boys in Class B were very sleepy, but it was worth it, they were about to go to a foreign country in Europe, many could not contain their excitement, that made getting up early worth it. They were all accompanied by their parents, who just wanted to make sure their children got on the plane.

Kreea approached them with a smile and greeted each and every one.

"Guten morgen," the young woman says "My name is Eisendrache Kreeaho´ahm , in the name of my mother, Eisendrache Sylvianne, I appreciate your children's support for my brother's celebration," the girl comments smiling.

"We are entrusting the safety of our children to you." Tetsutetsu 's mother replies.

"Mom," Tetsutetsu complains, a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, madam, Werfen is one of the safest cities in Europe, the technology in our shields is the most advanced on the planet, it detects any threat that approaches, and defends us when the threat is near," Kreea says calmly.

"I-I see, so we trust you," the woman says.

"Okay, guys, it's going to be a looooong trip, but luckily for you, the plane won't take long to get to Austria. On a normal flight, it would take a day and a half to get to Werfen," this surprises the young people and Kreea just squints her eyes, smiling confidently "Fortunately, it won't take that long, you'll have the honour of witnessing the technology of our home in person," Kreea comments, smiling confidently.

"E-excuse me, Kreea-san," Shiozaki speaks "Where is Kree-kun?" he asks looking for his friend.

"Here," says the boy appearing "Hi guys," then he goes to the parents of these "Guten morgen," greets adults.

"Happy Birthday, friend," celebrate Tetsutetsu .

"Oh, it's not today, it's in a few days," Kree clarifies, smiling.

"Okay guys, follow me, the plane is this way," Kreea comments while Kree sees the parents.

"Thank you for allowing them to accompany me," the boy thanks.

"Don't thank them, have fun," Ibara's mother comments smiling while looking at the boy who just bows and leaves.

The boys from Class B followed the redhead to a hangar when they saw a large white plane with blue details landing and on the rear wing of the plane there was a logo that was the head of a dragon in front view. Kreea walked to the entrance of the hangar and spoke to the manager in German, after a while Kreea calls Class B to check in their luggage and they will enter the plane.

Already on the plane

The plane looked so normal from the outside that when I got in I was really surprised to see the inside. It was very spacious, the carpet was blue and covered the entire floor of the plane, the seats were quite comfortable and a dark reddish color with some black parts, the walls looked like they were lined with wood and the ceilings were white with some lights for reading.

Class B looked for their assigned seats while Kreea gave the directions. Tetsutetsu sat in the window seat, followed by Ibara and finally Kree next to her, he felt excited to go home, but also nervous about how his friends and classmates would take the news, he looked at his sister who seemed totally relaxed.

The plane began its journey, some of his companions decided to sleep, he didn't blame them, they had gotten up early to get to the airport on time, he looked to his right to see his friend Tetsutetsu asleep and snoring a little, then he saw that Ibara was also asleep, but she was doing it like a baby, she even looked cute, the detail of having headphones so as not to hear her noisy friend was smart.

"You're worried," says her sister standing next to her.

"What gave me away?" Kree asks.

"You haven't slept and you're playing drums with your fingers, just what you do when you're worried," Kreea replies. "Hey, sooner or later they'll find out who you really are, you shouldn't be ashamed of your origins,"

"I don't, I just get nervous about their reaction," Kree comments worriedly.

"Hey, just get some sleep, we'll get home, you'll have a great party, and you'll enjoy it to the fullest, okay? You deserve it," the girl strokes her brother's hair and goes back to her seat. Kree smiles and decides to listen to her.


Werfen, Austria, 12 years ago

The little Kree was seen running through the forest, trying to get back to the village, his gaze said it all, he was scared, what was supposed to be a simple walk through the forest turned into a nightmare, the blue sky began to turn red, black clouds blocked out the sunlight.

The little Kree ran desperately until he began to smell something burning, black smoke loomed in the distance, a battle was taking place, above him a huge figure flew by, he managed to see what was a fairly large dragon that was expelling fire from its mouth, Kree ran into the town to see the people who were being run away scared, the boy tried to see more but something grabbed his hand, he turned his gaze seeing his older sister.

"Sister, what's going on?" Kree asks.

"We have to go, dad will take care of this, let's go," the young redhead pulls her brother running away from the battlefield.


Present

Ibara woke up because of the thirst she felt, she took off her headphones and began to hear some light grunts, when she turned her gaze, she saw Kree making slight gestures, she seemed to be having a nightmare.

"Kree-kun, wake up," Ibara lightly touched her friend to wake him up, but he still didn't wake up and was still grunting slightly "Calm down, calm down, shh… shh…"

The girl lightly touched his shoulder to calm him down, and it seemed to be working, as Kree abruptly stopped moving.

"Everything is okay, rest," the girl cooed to her friend, noticing that his breathing was calm again. The girl looked at her friend and smiled a little when she saw that he was calmer now.

"Is something wrong?" Kreea asks, appearing in the hallway.

"N-nothing, just… it seems like he had a nightmare, but I think he's calmer now," Ibara comments. Kreea smiles and looks down slightly.

"I see, well, thank you very much for calming him down, Shiozaki-san, do you need something?" the girl asks.

"S-some water, please," Ibara asks.

"Okay," the redhead returns to the cabin "He hasn't even seen his hand," the red-eyed girl thinks.

Ibara continued to take care of Kree, whose breathing was normal and calm again, even the boy, still asleep, had a small smile.

"Pss, pss, Shiozaki -chan, Shiozaki-chan," says Setsuna from the seat behind her.

"What's wrong, Tokage?" Ibara asks.

"You're trying to get on good terms with your sister, aren't you?" the green-haired girl asks, laughing a little.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about," Shiozaki comments.

"You'll know, I'm going to the bathroom," the girl gets up and as she passes by Kree's place, she lightly pushes the black-haired boy with her hip, causing him to lean on Shiozaki 's shoulder.

"Geeeeek!" Ibara squeals, blushing.

"You'll thank me later, by the way, be careful with your hands," says the girl, heading to her destination.

Ibara didn't understand what he meant until she saw that he had his hand right on top of Kree's. The green-haired girl tried to remove her hand calmly so as not to wake her friend.

After a 14-hour journey, the plane began to descend.

"Attention, we have arrived at our destination, please remain calm, turn off electronic devices and obey the instructions that will be given below," said the flight attendant.

Kree rubbed his eyes and watched as his friend Tetsutetsu stood by the window and his friend Ibara simply read the pamphlets that were there. Everyone began to line up to exit the plane following Kreea 's directions.

Werfen Airport looked like a completely ordinary airport, with people getting on and off planes, waiting for their luggage, etc. But what they did believe were the huge windows that the entire airport seemed to be made of; they could see huge, beautiful mountains, some of them snow-capped, in the distance.

"Ok guys, we will soon take you to claim your bags, but first I must give you some more instructions, the weather varies a bit in Werfen , the days in spring and summer are usually sunny and somewhat cool and at night the temperature usually drops to 10 degrees Celsius, so it is not advisable to go out at night unless you are well dressed," Kreea speaks calmly "Second, I have already assigned someone else to guide you through the city, I must attend to some important matters," says the girl, leaving.

"Who will be our guide?" asks Kinoko.

At that moment, solid footsteps are heard, turning to the right they notice a beautiful blue-haired woman with her hair tied in a simple ponytail, Komori immediately recognized her, it was the woman who was in charge of the agency where she did her internship.

"Guten tag," the woman speaks "Class B of Yueei Academy, correct?" the woman raises her serious gaze.

"W-Wunderfiz-sama?!" Kinoko is surprised and salutes.

"Ah, Sergeant Komori, nice to see you again," the blue-haired girl mentions, smiling slightly.

"Sergeant?" asks Tokage.

"Who are you?" Kendo asks confused.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Derina Wunderfiz, I will be your guide and the person in charge of showing you around the town," the woman greets.

"Miss Wunderfiz?" Kree asks in surprise.

"Oh, young Kreeholo, I'm glad to see you again," Wunderfiz smiles looking at the black-haired man.

"KREEEEEEEEE!" a blue and brown blur ran over Kree, knocking him down. Everyone saw a cute girl with white skin and blue hair tied in two pigtails. She was wearing a white Russian hat, a brown jacket with fur around the neck, and at the end of it, white stockings with a snowflake design and black boots.

"Frost-Spike, behave," Wunderfiz orders, the smiling girl obeys.

"As you command, Miss Wunderfiz," the girl stands up giving a military salute and stands next to the blue-haired girl, all with a radiant smile, Kree stands up smiling a little.

"I missed you too, Iranya," Kree says smiling.

"Sorry, guys, my daughter is a bit… enthusiastic," the woman comments.

"Daughter?" some of them asked, looking at the girl, who seemed to be only a few years older than them.

"Okay, young people, if you allow me, I will guide you through the town and we will finish the tour where you will spend the night today," the woman turns around and starts walking.

"For today?" Kendo asks confused.

"That's right, now, this way," the woman asks as she walks outside the airport. When they left, they saw a bus waiting for them.

The town looked extremely cool and pleasant, very few people used cars, since many things were really close, some children played and adults did their jobs, all using their Quirks.

Then everyone's jaw dropped when they saw a giant robot, yes, a giant robot, similar to the 0 points from the school, well, that was only in height, this one had a more humanoid appearance, who was alone in the fetal position apparently out of function.

"E-excuse me, Miss Wunderfiz! Kendo speaking "W-what is that?" he points to the robot.

"Werfen's automatic watchman, Freyja," the woman answers. "She's in charge of watching over the city in case of trouble, and also of protecting us when the time comes," the woman answers.

"Time for what?" Monoma asks.

"Natural disasters, things like that, it is planned to distribute first aid and food for the inhabitants," answers the woman, the bus stopped.

"We stopped," says Tokage.

"Keep going, it's this way," Wunderfiz gets off the bus and arrives at a small market.

The market was spacious and in the center, there was a large statue of a man with a bow, the arrow of this statue seemed to be made of gold and at the tip it had some lines that shone in a greenish color, the man had a beard as well as a hood that hid his face.

"Who is the man in the statue?" Kendo asks.

"He was the town's hero and their king. He gave his life to defeat two powerful villains who threatened to destroy the entire country, he fought bravely until his last breath," explains Wunderfiz.

"Wow, that's amazing," Honenuki replies.

"W-wait, did you just say King?" Kinoko asks.

"That's right, Werfen is still ruled by a monarchy, a lineage that has remained so since the time of the Crusades,"

Wunderfiz looks away towards another mountain, where there was a castle on top of it.

"On that mountain, the King's Castle is located. With his death, his son is next in line to take the throne," explains Wunderfiz.

"Who is his son?" Kendo asks.

"You know him," Wunderfiz just walks into the building and Class B looks at Kree, who was still staring at the statue.

"I'm back, Father," says Kree touching the statue's plaque with his eyes closed.

"Kree-kun," speaking Ibara, the aforementioned opened his eyes slowly and turned little by little looking at his companions who still had their eyes wide open.

"Surprise?" Kree says with a shrug.

"WHAT?!" they all shout in unison (Except Shiozaki who was still in shock).


On the Mountain

Sylvianne smiled inside her room as she heard the powerful japanese scream that was heard in the village.

"Hmph, it seems they already know," the woman comments giggling.

"Yes, I noticed that too," Kreema answers, rubbing her ear because of how loud the scream was.


Back with Class B

Everyone was speechless. Yes, they knew that Kree and his family were very important, but to know that they were not only important, but monarchs of an entire region was raising the bar even higher.

"How… How come you didn't tell us this?" Kendo asks.

"Mom wanted it not to be known," Kree answers "Only Yueei teachers and a selected few know this," the boy comments.

"This… wow," Kendo and a few others sat down to digest the news "That… explains a lot of things," the orange-haired girl comments.

"Yes, your vocabulary and your manners, we should have assumed something like that," Honenuki answers, Tokage lightly nudges Ibara.

"Officially… he's out of your league," the girl whispers to her companion.

"I'm sorry, really, but I didn't want to be treated any differently," Kree comments.

"Dude, we wouldn't have done it," Honenuki replies.

"Oh really? How would you act if on the first day of school I came and introduced myself like, 'Hello everyone, I am the first prince of Werfen and heir to the crown, Eisendrache Kreeholo, nice to meet you all'?" says Kree making his companions think for a bit.

"Ok, we get your point," the lipless boy replies, Kree turns to look at his best friends.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you this, I hope our relationship stays the same," Kree mentions looking at his friends.

"Do you remember what I told you?" asks Tetsutetsu "It doesn't matter if you are the King of a nation, you are my friend and I will continue to treat you as such," answers the gray-haired man hugging his friend with one arm.

"Thank you, my friend," Kree answers and then sees his friend "Lady Ibara," he calls her, but the girl raises her hand, pushing him away a little and trying to take a breath.

"Are you still that reckless, impudent, shameless, but kind boy I know?" the girl asks.

"Heh, yeah, I am," Kree replies.

"So, nothing has changed," Ibara joins the hug of her friends.

"Well, with that out of the way, follow me, we have to visit young Kree's mother," announces Wunderfiz.

"W-wait, W-will we see the Queen?" Monoma asks.

"Yes, she has been wanting to meet her son's friends for a long time," Wunderfiz replies as she walks towards the cable cars.

"I have a question," says Kendo.

"Yeah?" asks Wunderfiz.

"Why is Kree the heir and not his older sister?" the girl asks.

"Simple," says Kreea appearing "I didn't want to be," answers the redhead "I always thought that Kree would be a better king than I would be a queen, so I have dedicated my life and I will dedicate it to assisting him, not as his secretary, but as his older sister," says Kreea smiling "Now guys, over here, the cable cars are waiting for you," says the young woman guiding the kids towards the cabins.

As they headed towards the Castle that stood imposingly between the mountains, the boys had a broader view of the town of Der Schatten. They had to admit that the place was immense, but there were some walls that overlooked a huge sheet of ice, which caused curiosity.

"Why are there those walls?" Tokage asks.

"It's a river, last winter it froze over and the ice is too unstable, the water temperature would prevent a person from swimming to safety, that's why the wall, to keep civilians away from danger, with the arrival of summer, the ice could break if anyone stands on it, once it mostly melts, those walls will come down," answers Wunderfiz.

"I see, and why did people here use their quirks without any problems?" asks Honenuki.

"Here, quirks are not so governed by laws, people are too peaceful so it is not necessary to regulate them, obviously we have a police force that is sufficiently trained to apprehend violent people or criminals, no place is 100% safe," says Wunderfiz calmly.

"So, if for some reason you must use your quirks, do so responsibly," Kreea adds.

Finally they reached the top of the mountain, they saw a station where the cable cars stopped, there were some people controlling the machine.

"Welcome to Eisendrache Castle, please exit the cabins in an orderly fashion and head to the door on your right," said the attendant.

"This way, young ones," Wunderfiz asked, guiding everyone, who were feeling increasingly nervous.

Leaving the small station, there was an entrance with a path that led back to the town, but for more than obvious reasons it was longer, after entering through the gate, they went up some corridors until they reached what would be the central roof of the Castle, there were some strange cylindrical devices that had a large metal sphere in each one, it was unknown what they worked for.

After walking a little further, they came to another courtyard that would be the recreational courtyard, as it was more spacious than the previous one. At the end of this courtyard there was a large structure with two huge wooden doors. Wunderfiz walked towards the door and turned around looking at the boys.

"Welcome to Eisendrache Castle, home of the monarch of these lands, and future inheritance of young Kree," says Wunderfiz smiling as he opens the enormous doors letting in the young people who were observing the place, astonished.

It was a fairly large room, at the end of which there was a fireplace and above it, the statue of a dragon head giving the impression that it was coming out of it, in front of them was a huge table and at the end of this, Sylvianne was watching the newcomers sitting in the central chair.

"Should we bow?" Honenuki whispers to Monoma.

"Yeah, she is a queen," the blonde answers.

Honenuki gave a small bow to which Sylvianne simply let out a small laugh.

"We don't do that here," the woman says calmly, Honenuki gets a little embarrassed and returns to his initial position while some of his classmates mocked him.

"Your Majesty, these are the guests chosen by the young Kree," says Wunderfiz approaching the woman.

"Welcome, young heroes, to my kingdom. I really appreciate the friendship you have shown my son during his stay in Yueei. The celebration will be in 3 days. You must be exhausted from the flight, Wunderfiz will guide you to the hotel where you will spend the night today, since, from tomorrow, you will stay here in the Castle, as my honored guests," answers the woman surprising the students again.

"H-here?" Kendo asks surprised.

"Of course, the party will be here, so it would be best if you were at the Castle when it starts," the beautiful woman comments smiling "With that said, I hope you enjoy your stay here," the queen concludes.

"Young Kree, your mother wishes to speak with you, the others, follow me, I will take you to your hotel," the young people followed the woman leaving the castle leaving Kree alone with his mother.


With Class B

The place where they would be staying was impressive, it was a hotel that looked more like a mountain cabin, only 5 times bigger, it was so warm inside that the fresh air was greatly enjoyed. The girls were getting ready to have a shower, luckily, the spa was still open.

"Come on, I want to go to the spa," says Setsuna, hurrying the girls.

"Here we go, here we go," Kendo answers, getting ready.

"I want to go too," says Kinoko, jumping with excitement.

The boys, for their part, were also hurrying, they couldn't wait any longer, and they all said one word.

"Buffet, Buffet, Buffet, Buffet," the boys chanted in their most comfortable clothes, everyone headed towards the restaurant to eat something, everything looked delicious, fruits, jellies, pudding, everything looked really good.

"Guten Abend, junge Leute," the woman behind the buffet speaks "Was möchten Sie zum Abendessen bestellen?" the woman asked, and at that moment everyone fell silent with a smile, none of them spoke German.

"What did she said, Tetsutetsu?" Honenuki asks.

"I have no idea," he answers.

"You are Eisendrache-san best friend, and you haven't learned German by being with him?" Monoma asks.

"It's not like he spoke much German with us, just a few words and that's it,"

"Oh, kamen sie von Prinz Eisendrache?" the woman asks.

"Yes, they come from him," says Kreega, in civilian clothes, but with his mask on "Sorry, we forgot to mention that you must use this," the boy gives the students of Class B some kind of small black spheres "They are translators, they will allow you to understand what the staff is saying," comments the white-haired man seriously, well, they didn't know, his mask hid his expressions.

"I-I see, thanks, um…" Tetsutetsu sees the boy.

"Kreegakaleet, Kreegakaleet Eisendrache," the white-haired guy answers.

"Are you Eisendrache-san's brother?" Monoma asks.

"That's right, I'm his younger brother, adopted," the boy answers, taking off his mask for a few moments "My brother is already on his way, please enjoy your stay," the boy puts his mask back on and disappears in violet and pink smoke.

"That was scary," says Monoma.

"Do you think this actually works?" asks Honenuki putting on the translator.

"Let's hope so," Tetsutetsu puts on the device and addresses the woman "Do you have hamburgers?" the boy asks, speaking normally.

"Of course, how would you like your burger?" the woman answers smiling.

"Large, 2, no, 3 meats and cheese, with bacon! and fries," the excited dangerous person orders.

"Right away," says the woman, now looking at the other two. "And what do you want?" asks the woman.

"I also want a hamburger, with…" the boy looks at the cheeses "Grated cheese and American cheese," Honenuki orders.

"I want a burger too, with cheese, ham and bacon," Monoma orders.

"They will be prepared immediately, please take a seat," the woman asked smiling while the boys obeyed with a tear in their eyes.


With the girls

It was a dream, everything was extremely relaxing, the bathrooms were huge, and they had a big bathroom where the girls could sit and chat.

"These baths are…" Kendo speaks.

"Excellent," Kinoko completes, almost completely submerging herself due to the relaxation she felt.

"It's amazing that Kree-kun is a prince," says Tokage relaxing.

"I didn't expect something like that, now I understand why Yaoyorozu said that her mother was a dangerous woman, imagine having the disapproval of the Queen of an entire region," comments Kendo.

"I think Kree-kun is still the same, regardless of his family," Shiozaki comments as he enters the huge bathtub.

"Well, you know him more than we do," Kinoko answers.

"A LOT more," Tokage answers laughing.

"Oh wow, I didn't think there would be people at this hour," says a female voice at the entrance, the future heroines look at Kreema, wrapped in a towel watching the girls "Right, you are my brother's guests," says the girl.

"You… are Kree-kun's younger sister," Ibara says remembering the girl.

"Exactly, in case you forgot who I am, my name is Kreemahm´ahm Eisendrache, the second princess of Werfen," the blue-haired girl introduces herself.

"That's right, we saw you in Yuuei when the Sports Festival ended," Tokage says, remembering the first moment they saw the girl.

"Nice to see you again, p-princess, w-we are friends of your brother," says Kendo.

"I know, but don't get excited, I don't like any of you at all," they all felt the blue-haired girl 's words like a bucket of cold water "Don't be offended, I just don't trust any girl who is close to my brother," she clarifies.

"That… doesn't make us feel better," Tokage answers.

"It doesn't have to, call it 'Sister Jealousy', you know, I don't think any girl is worthy of being my brother's fiancée," the young woman comments.

"Fiancée?" Kinoko asks.

"Yes, when my brother is crowned, it is obvious that he will need a queen," Kreema comments while calmly washing her arm "Fortunately, Mom believes that he will find that woman on his own, without needing to be compromised with a stranger, Again," the blue-haired woman says and thinks.

Kreema glanced at the girls, analyzing them with her gaze.

"I don't accept that, I don't think there is any girl worthy of my brother. The last girl who tried to play with him, well, I'll just say that I'm the only one who knows what really happened to him," the girl smiles, scaring the young women "Just kidding, he fled the country," Kreema answers.

The girls felt slightly intimidated by the young woman who was with them, even though she was younger than them, she was direct and sure of what she said, none of the girls present pleased her in the least, in fact, she saw them as threats.

"Well, I have to go, I just had to leave you some translators, but this talk was… nice," Kreema leaves them the translators "They serve so you can understand the hotel staff and so they can understand you, Auf Wiedersehen," the blue-haired girl wraps her body in the towel and leaves the place.

All the girls looked towards where the beautiful girl had gone, needless to say, if they felt intimidated, not only because of her attitude, she was younger than them, and her appearance was spectacular, certainly the young girl made them a little uncomfortable.

"Well," says Tokage and then looks at Ibara "Your sister-in-law is a sweetheart, isn't she?"

"Sh-shut up!" Ibara replies.

"What? Shiozaki-san likes Eisendrache -kun?" asks Kinoko.

"You didn't notice?" asks Kendo.

"Not you too, Kendo?" says Ibara covering her face.

"Shiozaki-san, you're quite obvious. On the plane, you let Kree-kun fall asleep on you and held his hand," the orange-haired girl says.

"T-that was Tokage's fault," Ibara apologizes.

"Deny that you didn't enjoy it," the aforementioned responds.

"This is going to be a nightmare," says Ibara, submerging herself a little in the water.

"It's going to be a loooooooong week, my dear friend," Tokage replies, laughing.

"Don't bother her Tokage -san," says Kendo.

"I won't do it," everyone sees her "But the one who does want Kree-kun to bother her is Shiozaki-chan," answers Tokage laughing making Ibara blush.

"OH YOU!" Ibara lunged at Tokage.


At the restaurant

They felt like they were in paradise, the hamburgers they sold in Japan fell short of the delicacies they were now tasting, the melted cheese, the cooked ham, the fried bacon, they were simply very happy, but Tetsutetsu stood up.

"Who made this burger?!" the boy asks, angry?

"What?" the woman asks.

"Who made this burger?!" Tetsutetsu asks again, standing looking at the kitchen.

"Why?" the woman asks, confused.

"'Cause I love it!" The boy shouts, acknowledging the cooks who respond with laughter.

"You are so recognizable, Tetsutetsu," says Kree entering the restaurant.

"Hey Kree-kun, how did it go?" the grey-haired boy asks his friend.

"Nothing to worry about, just party stuff, I see you're enjoying the hotel," the boy comments as he sits down with them "And the girls?" he asks.

"They went to take a bath, they said they would come back when they were done," Honenuki answers.

"It's better to wait for them, it's better to have dinner together," Kree comments.

"But we already had dinner," Monoma answers.

"Relax, there's no problem," says the Austrian.

The girls were already dressed and were about to go down to the restaurant to have dinner. When they went down, they saw that the boys were sitting there waiting for them, so they approached them.

"Hello," Kendo greets

"Hey girls, have a seat," says Kree opening some chairs for them.

"Thank you, have you had dinner yet?" asks Kinoko.

"They did, but don't worry, they won't leave until you finish dinner too," after settling in, a waitress came to take the girls' order.

They all had dinner and told personal anecdotes, laughed, talked, had fun and also discussed Kree's birthday and how excited they were to celebrate it.

"Your home is beautiful, Eisendrache-kun," Kendo comments smiling.

"Thank you very much, Lady Kendo, by the way, it's not like Japan here, people are usually called by their first name," the boy answers.

"I don't know if it's a good idea," Kinoko answers sadly.

"It feels… unusual," Kendo answers.

"It's okay, don't worry, I don't have any problems," Kree answers.

"It's quite curious that the kingdom is surrounded by forests," comments Tokage.

"Dad used to take me to those woods to train, but there was a legend behind it," the boy confesses.

"What legend?" asks Awase.

"'The Order of the Keepers' is said to exist deep within the forest, an ancient secret Order that has protected the human race for eons, long, long before the Quirks came into being. Legend has it that one day, the Order will awaken, to drive out the ultimate evil from the world and enlighten the entire world with their goodness," Kree relates "They are said to be very powerful creatures that, despite looking like demons, they're more like angels,"

"Wow, what a story," comments Ibara.

"And that's just summarizing it," Kree replies.

"Well, my curiosity is through the roof, tomorrow I will start exploring the entire town," says Tetsutetsu excitedly.


Unknown Installation

In an underground area of Werfen , there was a strange device inside a big room. It was large, with a square base where there were 4 containers with a strange bright blue substance in the corners, on this square base there was a pyramid made of a strange kind of black glass, nothing could be seen of what it contained, the pyramid and its base were heavily guarded, as if they wanted to keep away any living being that approached, inside the black glass a hand touched the surface, and from the void that was observed, two yellow flashes were seen, as if they were eyes, while a small, childish but macabre giggle was heard, like that of a girl.
