Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Distances

"My husband, I see at the end of this you look less healthy. Are you okay?"

"Thank you for your attention, Guy. My body is just sore from a bad sleeping position."

"...really?"

Guy's eye brows rose a sign of astonishment.

The heir of the Kagami family definitely has the most comfortable bed on par with the princes. How can it hurt just because of the wrong sleeping position?

(?!)

Guy smiled when he realized that the bad sleeping position that Riku meant was something else.

"Oh. I didn't think you had any intention of surpassing your father. You're a real man."

"?"

Riku was confused.

From that night, Riku was sentenced to sleep alone in the bathtub until an unspecified time. Two weeks passed, it was not strange if Riku's body felt sore.

He was honest, but Guy seemed to conclude something else.

Indeed, as a child has the intention to exceed his parents. But is there a child (person) who can exceed the existence of a King?

Impossible.

"By the way, are you going to take on a mission today? Me and them are planning on taking an easy mission to earn contribution points."

Guy glanced at Helen and Milia who were gathering with the girls. Maybe talking is important.

"I got a special mission from the headmaster of Vresia. Other than me, there are four other people from class S who get the same mission."

Guy gave a small sigh.

"I don't know if I'm happy or sad about you. But the Kagami family is not normal. Until now I was still confused how anyone got a Blank rating."

The Blank rating has never existed before. The existence of that rank is none other than the act of Riku himself which makes too many people dizzy.

As a mage, Riku's rank was undoubtedly B rank, but he had unique magic on par with Soul power, and more surprisingly, Riku could raise his strength by releasing seals.

How powerful is Riku really?

With that in mind, it is not strange to think of Riku as an Irregular. And in the end a new rank was made, the rank of Blank. Which means not tied by rank.

"My father used to be F rank, but he can beat Master rank. Isn't he crazier than what I do."

"Your father was a legendary assassin. What he can do is normal."

"..."

Seriously?

There was a non-magician who could kill a Master rank mage and that was normal?

Alright. Riku's father was able to do it because he had a weapon and various other factors that could do it. But still it's not normal.

Riku was wrong to think about this, or the world was wrong?

Rprr!! At the thought of that, Riku's phone vibrated the sign of getting a message. The message contained to ask Riku to immediately go to the principal's room.

"We'll talk next time. It's time."

"so. I'll say hello to Miss Silvyie if you meet her."

Riku nodded and after that left the classroom.

Silvyie has not been in B class since that day. Understandably, Silvyie's true rank was an SS with the equivalent strength of a Master.

Then Silvyie's security problem, Riku need not worry because there are Lunaris and others.

(Although I know that Lunaris is behind all this, it doesn't matter. Better than getting another temper.)

Riku let out a small sigh and finally headed to the principal's room.

arriving in the principal's room, Riku sees Lunaris, Silvyie and Romeo sitting opposite the principal.

Riku immediately sat down between Lunaris and Silvyie who happened to be empty.

"We will wait for one more person, and after that I will explain the mission you will receive." said the principal with a smile.

Before long, the door of the room was knocked and a girl appeared. A girl with smoldering red hair who was quite flashy and attention-grabbing.

His body size is small for a 16-year-old. But behind her small size, she has the same chest size as Lunaris.

It's not balanced. It makes her look unique and sweet.

Riku saw the girl a few times, but he didn't know her.

"My husband, you've seen him a few times, but it's definitely the first time you've met in person."

The headmaster introduced Riku to the girl.

"My name is Elisa Rill Vermillion. I am a User-type magician with special magic to heal wounds. If you get hurt, you can come straight to me. I'll heal him without the slightest scar."

"Greetings, my name is Riku Kagami. I'll remember it."

Riku remembered that the Vermillion family was the main supplier of the Phoenix Tear magic potion. The magic potion recipe itself was still a secret, so they monopolized the market of these magic potions thus making them one of the richest families in the empire.

The Kagami family is arguably one of the main buyers of the Phoenix Tear magic potion due to the activities of the Kagami family who are always involved in the fight.

(If not wrong, Elisha is one of the candidates for Rei's fiance, but as usual our family is unique.)

Background is no reason to be a lover or spouse of the Kagami family. It's not strange if the candidate is just some kind of reference to choose a partner.

(And I heard Rei was banished (sent) to another world by father. I don't know if I should be sorry or happy.)

Pity is natural, but why should it be happy? It was because Riku was envious of Rei who had the opportunity to go to another world even though to do something that was not easy.

"All right, you know each other already. I'll explain the special mission you're about to receive."

"Special mission? It makes me impatient after hearing that."

Romeo fire. As usual, he was a crazy person.

"Over this time, the activity of monsters throughout the empire began to increase rapidly. They started attacking villages and towns. The Knights were busy exterminating monsters. Although Knights were the main army of the empire, they still could not do everything. So the Academy disciples became the choice to help the Knights. I'm sure you already know that, right?"

Riku nodded and the others fell silent. It's something that's known in general, so it's not surprising.

It was even this reason that made the Mission Hall so busy by the disciples who wanted to do missions.

"Could it be possible that we will be able to defeat the powerful monsters? If so, I wonder what kind of monsters we'll find later. Ahaha.."

"You'll get a chance to do it, but let me explain it first, Romeo."

The principal continued.

"You're not saying that it's possible that this monster activity was a deliberate result?" cut Riku.

"Most likely it exists. And it was not a new way to weaken the imperial power a little. For now, it's not a matter that should be your thoughts."

Riku and the others glanced at each other. They understood that the mission they were about to receive was really something special.

"Your mission is to go to the Rukia forest. More precisely to where the Blad clan lives and will receive further missions from there. Given the Blad clan's relationship with the empire, I don't think it's necessary to explain why you were chosen."

Romeo and Elisha seemed to expect further explanation, but saw the principal who did not explain more that he also did not know anything.

Then the headmaster dispersed Riku and the others and told them to immediately go to the city of Ares. The closest town to the Rukia forest area.

"I can guess that this is a request from Aunt Yui."

"I agree. It's a great opportunity to see him again."

"If he makes the request, I think it's going to be a difficult mission."

"Sorry to cut you two off, but who's Aunt Yui you're talking about?"

Romeo interrupted. Elisa also looked curious.

While Silvyie has met Yui several times as a Queen who made a contract with Emera for various reasons.

"Aunt Yui is my father's younger sister. I won't explain more considering you'll meet him later. But never make him angry."

"Officially he's a Master-ranked mage, but he actually has power on par with a Paladin rank" Lunaris added.

"Why is such a strong person unheard of by name?" ask Elisha.

"He just doesn't want to be flashy. Never mind, we immediately go to the teleportation center to go to the city of Ares."

Teleportation facilities should only be used in emergencies, but thanks to more advanced magic technology, teleportation facilities can now be done in a way that is easier and cheaper.

But that doesn't mean anyone can use teleportation facilities. Only certain people or important purposes are given permission to be able to use it freely.

The mission this time they had to go to the village of the Blad clan located far away, so it was normal for them to use the teleportation facility.

"As usual I still don't like teleportation."

"Are you a child? As an S ranker, I feel ashamed to have a friend like you."

"If it wasn't for those two big melons, you're the little one here, Elisha."

"Do you want to be a bird of fire?"

Arriving in the city of Ares, Romeo looks pale like a drunk. It might sound strange, but it was one of Romeo's weaknesses as an S rank mage.

"Hahaha how much you said that, but until now you couldn't beat me. Don't say anything you can't do."

"Kuh!!"

"Already have. Why don't you guys ever get along on a mission together?" asked Lunaris with a face of astonishment.

Romeo and Elisha threw their faces at each other and did not answer.

Riku thought there might be some kind of special connection between the two. Come to think of it, Romeo's background is a little mysterious.

"By the way, how do we go to the village of the Blad clan? I never heard there was a way there. If anything, that person should go through the Rukia forest."

What Romeo said was not wrong. Although the city of Ares is the closest city of the Rukia forest, it does not mean there is a road to the village of the Blad clan.

Then despite using flying magic, but the location of the Blad clan is protected by a special shield so it cannot be seen easily.

"There is no way. But we can meet the person who can contact the Blad clan. But we don't have to bother because they're waiting for us."

"?"

Two people approached Riku's entourage. Romeo and Elisha were surprised to feel the heavy pressure of the two despite not being too old.

Interestingly, despite the heavy pressure emanated from them, the magic pressure was not that strong. You could say this is one of the characteristics of people from the village of the Blad clan.

"Sir Riku, we were both sent by Miss Yui to pick you up."

Riku nodded and smiled.

There was no other talk and after that both of them directed Riku's entourage out of the city. More precisely to the outside of the Rukia forest.

One of the two whistled and suddenly two large figures came out from behind the trees. The figure resembled a lizard with wings known as a dragon.

"Fire Dragon Class and Holy Demonic Dragon Class. Hmm. What an amazing welcome. Can I fight with them?"

"Romeo, you can do it later if you have some free time. For now we should arrive at the village of the Blad clan first."

"really? I can't believe I can fight a dragon."

A normal person would be instantly surprised to see a dragon for the first time, but not Romeo or Elisha. For them, maybe dragons are just powerful monsters and better not to be made enemies.

"If you fight with them, aren't you afraid of being eaten? Fufufu..."

"!?"

Romeo was so shocked and immediately looked towards the dragon's eyes.

The sharp and powerful eyes of the apex predators.

"My Ri-Riku, they're not gonna do it, are they?"

"Huh..."

Riku sighed and the other three girls chuckled.

Why did you become a coward? Dragons don't like human flesh.

Then their entourage finally started going to the village of the Blad clan. Unexpectedly, Riku and Lunaris chose to fly instead of riding a dragon. For them it is faster.

Silvyie can also fly with the help of a spirit, but Lunaris' sharp and deadly gaze keeps her from doing so. Silvyie understood that Lunaris wanted to use travel time alone with Riku even though they were fighting.

"Woy.Rukia forest can indeed be called the most dangerous forest in the world. I can't see the end."

The sea of huge trees and the dangerous aura of the Rukia forest could be clearly sensed by Romeo and Elisha.

For Silvyie who was a High Elf, she could feel that the Rukia forest was very different from the ordinary forest. You could say it was like an infinite abyss.

"I should be amazed by the Blad clan being able to stay in a forest like this. Is there a special secret? Sorry, if that's not polite."

"No, Miss. You are too praising our clan. We live in the Rukia forest with no important secrets. Just have to be careful and get stronger."

"...so."

A foreseeable answer from the dragon controller. Elisa herself actually knew the secret of why the Blad clan could stay in the Rukia forest safely, but that was not something to be discussed.

Elisha glanced back. He saw Riku and Lunaris flying side by side. At first glance there was nothing unusual, but he could sense that there was some kind of distance between them.

4 Hours into flight, they finally arrived at the entrance of the Blad clan village.
