as he looked down in his room that was total crap the door to the room opened and his body twitched as his hands curled a bell-like chuckle coiling around his body and making him aware his cheeks burned as he grit his teeth and shut his eyes she came into his personal bubble and her arms wrapped a loud ringing reached his ears nrk his eyes widened slowly as he sat up with as much energy blue eyes cracked open and looking down at his sheets he shook his head spiky yellow locks shifting back and forth in his vision as Peach skin hands rubbed his face minding his whisker like birth marks he flopped back onto his pillow hands trembling as something crawled up to the back of them from beneath his pajama top he got up and marched over to the bathroom of his circular room his blonde fox tail shifting back and forth cleaning up the boy found himself back in his room at a desk across from his bed still in his pajamas when the door to his room opened up to allow a man in ah you're up he said kindly as the boy nodded he was tall black and had dark black dreads in a high ponytail at top his head his eyes were yellow and his face only had a few wrinkles in it wearing a black wide collared top and a pair of blue GI pants he looked at the boy with a frown Nar he said Softly As the boy Naruto Uzumaki jumped ha H hey hakone Osan what's going on narut asked as the man hakone raised a brow with his arm arms crossed oh oh huh the boy looked at the back of his hands sorry it was just a nightmare I understand that truly I do hakone said with a hand rubbing his chin before he smiled come it'll only be a week before you join the academy he added as Naruto perked up and looked at him curiously there you can explore all methods of Guardian Life and perhaps learn of ways to heal yourself for now let's focus on getting your weapon from the blacksmith Naruto grinned at that before were hurrying over to his closet as hakone chuckled and left within 5 minutes he and the man were leaving their home near the woods narut placed his hands inside of his baggy black pants that he tied off at Mid Shin as he walked in his custom-made black ninja sandals he'd asked for from hakone his orange shirt shifted with each step as he had a gold cuff on his left wrist are you looking forward to this hakone asked dressed as he'd been when they were home not just High Guardian Academy but get getting your choice of weapons oh well yeah Naro said I'm looking forward to getting evil counter I know they'll serve you well the change from forests to Cobblestone was helped Along by a dusty road they nodded before jumping a top houses and taking off across rooftops Naruto felt free in the air above the town below the town of lingar a town of stone dirt roads and a series of small rivers coming and going throughout the structures and pathways this will be the first time you truly reside in the town I know your condition is difficult but I'm sure you'll find people of both genders as friends hakone said as narut made a grumpy face you know I'm not it's not like I'm swinging for my own side I it's just Naruto grimaced as hakone sighed I know we'll find a way I promise I told you the other instructors who could help haven't denied giving a helping hand but they'll need to see you to understand your Affliction to solve it and most of them are women Naruto's skin paled a level as they came to a stop above a small pathway jumping down they landed with little noise on his end while hakone gestured to the short entryway before them the Dwarven family here runs a Smithy hakone said as they ducked into the entrance before coming out on the other end with a curious look on Naruto's face Mr sorl Mrs Angelica I'm here for my order he called out into the area only to be met by a single pair of steps and a small feminine voice nut's eyes went to a small figure who came up to his waist skin itching as he saw her she was as he said before short what with being a dwarf and all and had white skin shining blue eyes and chin-length messy blonde hair that enveloped her slightly pointed ears wearing a white shirt brown pants similar colored shoes and a black blacksmith smok she chuckled as she saw them sorry my parents aren't in right now but I'm here name's parsley how's it going she asked with a smile as hakone chuckled wait H hold on aren't you from High Guardian Academy parsley squeaked in shock as he nodded yes I'm hakone I'll be handling most combat practice and territory navigation are you going to go in the coming week he asked youa I've always wanted to learn all the powerful ways to craft weapons there she grinned before looking at Naruto who grinned nervously Su buddy you going to parsley asked as she walked over her fellow blond's twitch as she did had the girl raising a brow as hakone rubbed the back of his head apologies Naruto is different when it comes to other people he said vaguely as she made an understanding sound oh sorry there I didn't mean to invade your space or anything she said with a bashful grin as Naruto sighed no it's not I'm sorry I'm just not good at this narut said with a Grimace names narut Uzumaki no I get it some people just aren't good at doing this whole social thing she said as nut's eyebrow twitched as he smiled yeah uh right he said as she hummed wait right you said you had an order right well Osan here did but it's for me narut said as she smiled Osan never heard that name before parsley said before tilting her head with a laugh and uh do you think you could be more specific with the Academy starting soon every Herald in hydia is coming through these halls for weapons and stuff it's a double-sided long sword with a fan-like tip and a shield hakone said with a smile and her eyes widened wo right I remember that one she grinned I helped make it my old man wasn't too keen on unusual stuff but I love the idea that your weapons got a little extra oomph to it Nar blushed a bit rubbing the back of his head with a chuckle and grin thanks I want heard of a special sword that looked like that from hakone Osan oh right Osan isn't a name it's just me being weird it's no problem you guys are clearly close nicknames are a thing parsley smiled before grinning with a fist pumped and I know exactly what you're talking about that no named evil destroying sword from like a million years ago right yeah narut said with similar energy as hakone chuckled I thought it was cool I mean Vanishing evil could be like taking it all away from someone and stuff you're speaking my language she hurried off I've got it one sec narut nodded before blushing as hakone smirked I guess you know it won't be as hard as I thought the boy pouted a bit as hakone rested a hand on his shoulder God am I really about to say I'm no good with girls to the extreme only until you can handle your problem it's not impossible that we might solve this in the coming years it'll just take as PS of combat I'm not truly familiar with he said as narut nodded got it parsley said as she came back with a wrapped up parcel in hand here y go she said with a grin as she held it out to Naruto who accepted it in the middle away from her hands come on let's see how you like my work she said proudly as Naruto's worried expression slipped into one of amusement he undid the wrapping and grinned at the pair of Fighting Tools one of them was as described a longsw but it was lighter than average and its wide fan-like tip gave it its distinct shape the guard of the handle was the image of curling winds that swirled together by the base as its hand was wrapped in brown leather with a smooth pommel it was an auburn color with the guard being black The Shield part of the boy's weapon was small and round being a foot long in diameter it was also colored Auburn but had a big black dot in the middle of it in an X of gold metal on the front with a golden eye before it narut chuckled as he fastened The Shield onto his left forearm while holding the sword in his right he took several practice Swings with it before arcing gold slipped off the fanlike tip that he ended with a shield uppercut with his shield Landing the boy chuckled thanks parsley I mean it he said as he bowed to the dwarf girl who shook her hands in embarrassment W now I would have taken a thank you man no need for the Boeing she said with a blush seriously Nar peeped up and grinned misch ly at her as she rolled her eyes good nature dly all right I guess I'll see yah when I see yah oh wait you're dorming soon y know I'm actually going to be going to mine tomorrow crap narut choked as hakone chuckled w why didn't you tell me he said to the man with crocodile tears I thought you just weren't ready good to know you just forgot H the man chuckled then you'll know that you can go there anytime it's not until school starts that you'll be required to not leave the campus during school hours gacha narut nodded before rubbing the back of his head as he looked back at the chuckling parsley I guess we'll see one another in class yep did you pick a rude besides Warrior parsley asked if it's not clear I'm going to be doing the blacksmith course but I'll also be doing the Warrior One oh uh well narut smiled shakily I'll be doing the warrior and Mage rout no fooling I thought you'd go full Warrior I want to learn how to try and recreate the evil destroying part of the legendary sword he said and her eyes widened so you know we should totally work on that together parsley said with excitement as Naruto blushed I totally want to make swords like that and flowering Thorn one day it's just uh her cheeks rened a bit as she rubbed the back of her head I'm crap at Magic so as sure if you don't mind my weirdness I'm sorry about that by the way you have your own experiences it's not your fault e narut hummed at that as hakone grinned I guess thanks y know no problem see you around same nrk they were hopping on rooftops again Naruto with his sword on his lower back while his shield was still on his left arm him you made a potential friend today hakone said as they landed on a pair of roofs a pair of cat squirrel bat creatures walking before obsessing over the blond's equipment hmph might want to be careful of those trixies narut looked down with a blush picking up the pair by the scruffs of their necks the animals blinking at his face while he shook his head and put them back down they scurried off as he looked at the large school before them I want to make friends I know I do Naruto said this whole situation just left me with a mess of a position and that's why we're here he added as hakone nodded we'll find away to get rid of this curse they jumped down onto the street ignoring the Gathering of students before jumping over them and past the archway that was the entrance into the school the students gaped at them while hakone chuckled the teacher who gathered them looking back at him with a smile she wasn't a normal human or really she wasn't human in the first place having red skin pink eyes a pair of oddly placed horns and long black hair the woman tilted her head as she cued her chin glasses staying in place while her Red Demon tail waved behind her lazily dressed in a frilly black dress shirt a brown skirt and a pair of black boots she placed a hand on her hip as she walked up to the two Naro didn't face her as he just kept looking at the school before something caught his eye out of the corner of his vision a pair of angular eyes looked at him and Naruto blinked before they disappeared the presence in the tree hiding higher within it so you're the young man he jumped at the voice from behind him turning on a dime and stepping back as the demon woman smiled at him while your fear is certainly delicious that's not why Professor hakone brought you correct she said with a kind Smile as Naruto looked away all right everyone the tour is over please make sure you remember your dorm room keys and numbers don't get lost the gathered to be students from behind her dispersed leaving Naruto to sigh as he and hakone were Guided by the Devil Woman towards the school so uh you're a teacher right Nar asked as they walked inside the woman chuckling as he pouted a bit I guess what's your name what do you teach H wad drch At Your Service she said as hakone nodded I teach an ethics class and one magical class I believe that's the class you'll find most relevant to your situation his eyes widened as she nodded W Verna is a devil Naruto he said as they kept walking most beings of a similar nature are aware and were specialized in hexes curses debilitating spells or negativity Clauses huh negativity Clauses are basically the core of most hexes why Verna said think of it like the rules of a hex that's why I'm curious about yours It's oddly expressed from what professor hakone said yeah well Naruto looked concerned what does that mean no worries young man it's not me saying you're impossible to treat she said with a smile it's just that your situation will be more difficult to ascertain the core aspects of likely sometime during the semester you'll be getting an in-depth checkup is that all right why yeah uh no needles right none the three of them made it past pristine walls halls and chandelier balls Naruto looking around with a hum before bumping into someone ow came the person as they hit the ground o www Naruto winced before holding out his hand sorry I wasn't paying attention he said to the other boy who sighed before taking it no sorry I wasn't doing much better when he pulled him to his feet Nar tilted his head as the taller male looked at him curiously well Nar almost got that confused because he was clearly one of those pretty boys like SAS had been having fair skin with freckles slightly feminine features gold eyes with white pupils and slightly long orange hair with some pomp FH to it he was dressed in a long long sleeve blue top brown pants and brown workers shoes come a yes Snapdragon correct W Verna asked and the boy nodded rubbing his arm why yeah I was just looking around Snapdragon said as he looked from her back to the boy he'd run into he's like a cat he thought before seeing the fox tail wagging slowly behind him along with his weapon oh uh a beastkin right and that sword looks cool h narut blinked before chuckling tail coming into view oh yeah nam's narut Naruto Uzumaki nice Tom mea snap he said with a grin as Snap Dragon looked taken aback by him and these guys are named evil counter Naruto said as he Pat his weapon and fist pumped to show off his shield oh oh uh well nice to meet you and your weapons you're also a freshman yeah Snap Dragon nodded I moved in today he said as narut nodded before Wy Verna chuckled huh what's wrong it's not that something is wrong it's just you two will be next door neighbors she said as she snapped her fingers and a brown book flared to life in her hand the demon woman moving towards the back of it right you are rooming with a boy who will be coming to school later during the month Aster are really did something come up yes you might infer this but more than a few students parents are Guardians hakone said as both boys nodded Aster situation isn't uncommon he's likely been getting trained by his father and they'll be coming back late from the Fallen Brooks I've never heard of that place before Snapdragon said as Naruto nodded I'm not great at geography myself the fox boy agreed it's fine just know it's one of many places that can be an area of quests and missions Wess said is the two perked up much to her Amusement Nar you will be rooming with a Boy by the name of Cal he's going to come when school starts all right seems like we'll be neighbors neighbor Naruto said with a grin as Snapdragon chuckled I guess so are you moving in today tomorrow Nar said with a shaky grin I might have forgotten that we dorm early it's on the leaflets yep okay Snapdragon sweat dropped before leaving I guess I'll see you around Nar same later Nar grinned with his hands on his hips all right I guess I'll like going here despite everything he admitted as hakone nodded while werna grinned it's only a matter of figuring out your Affliction I don't think that'll be some years long Quest the demonist said and narut nodded it'll be solved in time and you can live life to the fullest thanks Sensei Naruto said as she tilted her head oh oh um he coughed to the side come your word is different even to that of demon language wyna said in interest as hakone chuckled don't tease him too much Naruto's literally got his own ways with words the man chuckled as she smiled the boy grumbled nrk H so you're the boy came an Old Woman flanked by a younger one and one who was of a mature age the one with the weird name the trio of females was dressed the same with similar features all three of them wore what could only have been called a white nun outfit with golden accents and a red Jewel by their collars as said before one was old one a young teen and the last one an actual woman in age the young one had voluminous platinum blonde hair milk chocolate skin and blue eyes her hair covered in pink lies was left uncontained with no nuns Habit in sight the mature one bearing almost all the same features but with a few wrinkles had her habit on while wearing a gold belt lastly the old woman version if you will had the same features but with far more wrinkles silvery gray hair round BR spectacles and a brown cane the three sat around at three separate desks in the principal's office before coming up to him to observe him what she means to say is Professor hakone has us expecting you the mature one said with a smile as narut nodded we've heard of the condition of your Affliction I hope that won't be an issue while we set up the observation arrays I'm surprised you don't just use your terros speres hakone said or is this just that different sadly teros feres while powerful can't perform all the same acts as old magic the mature woman in the middle said while teros feres can offer more immediate Powers with a wide range you can't undo things with them she explained and Naruto tilted his head along with hakone you can't they asked looking at one another and then back to the trio no sadly the youngest of the three said is W Verna nodded you may see say someone change a potted plant into a raging ball of light but when they turn it back to quote unquote normal it's not the same plant they're simply putting it back to the way they remember it the demonist said that's why despite how Grand new magic is it can't replace old magic there's nothing wrong with the old ways it's just a bit time consuming the oldest of the trio of lookalikes huffed before raising a brow at Naruto nodding h a youngster not Dragged In by the newest fad it's just all that power I can't believe it's for free Naruto admitted with a frown and crossed arms everything comes with a price despite how people view old magic I think it's better than a terrasphere he said as hakone chuckled effort training understanding what you're doing I think there's no real point to using a terrasphere unless you've already learn the ins and outs of the stuff you're going to cast with it an interesting idea the mature member said with a chuckle yet you're coming back around to using new magic hum well I mean like using it in an emergency if you're good enough I don't see the point of using a terrasphere Ms it's a mature way of looking at it I'd agree hakone said with a oneeyed smile you can't really beat using your own talents and pushing your limits he chuckled hmph perhaps this is a man thing the Devil Woman said with a smile so you understand this will require old magic to understand and handle Naruto's Affliction with our gathered knowledge we've got a decent grasp of the arrays give us about 3 months barring any distractions and we should be ready for you all right thanks everyone narut said as he bowed along with hakone I mean it we can tell no one should have to deal with curses in the first place but it's sadly something you can't just nip in the bud the old lady said as narut nodded now is he dorming today if not get out Naruto grinned nervously as hakone snorted HEK be coming tomorrow I'll probably move up my schedule and start prepping for my classes the day after Elder Triad he said good honestly your classes have been missed the middle woman mature Triad said with a pout while all of the teachers are Guardians um well most of us don't really fight as you do she admitted with a blush as her younger self young Triad fiddled with her fingers meanwhile W Verna and Elder Triad laughed I'd say I did well for the days I helped mature Triad the demonist said as the old woman grinned viciously it was so easy to trip him up why ought to get another go at that the old woman said with a grin as Naruto chuckled nervously I welcome all who wish to join hakone said with a smile nrk they traveled through lingar with mild shatter the pair of Naruto and hakone eating some kind of green popsicle before the blonde brought them to a stop by a park you can come out now Naruto said to the area looking down in Alleyway you were that girl who was looking at me at the end entrance of hga right he asked the dark space before popping his popsicle back into his mouth hakone raising a brow as a set of soft steps came towards them hm pH the person came into view and he raised a brow at her she was tall for her age if Naruto's words were to be believed the teen had dark skin like hakone did while her eyes were angular with green irises her hair was voluminous and long falling to her lower back the red color a darker shade and coming over her long pointed ears wearing a black tunic with a leather girdle around her waist brown pants that had leather on the thighs and some simple brown sandals she looked at the two with a curious gleam in her eyes what's up Naruto asked her as he swallowed another bit of popsicle you know it's rude to just follow people around right H the taller teen shot him a look before rubbing the back of her head quote dot dot dot I'm sorry I was just confused by you she admitted with a deep feminine voice with a slightly rough Edge to it you were confused by my boy hakone asked as she looked surprised adopted he said with a smirk as Naruto grinned quote dot dot dot you feel like a person who lived in the forests the girl said as she looked at Naruto his blue eyes gaining her attention for a bit before she crossed her arms and looked away you're not an elf though quote dot dot dot oh Naruto rubbed the back of his head well I communicate with nature on an energy level when I meditate he admitted as she blinked at him confused you communicate with nature is that what your terrasphere does no uh I don't have a terrasphere I just meditate she looked intrigued by this your spirit feels like the Fairy Woods I'm from even if not as much the girl observed him some more eyes going from his whisker marks to his eyes to his tail cupping her chin quote dot dot dot question mark quote she looked at his weapons and tilted her head is that a sword Naruto blinked before chuckling and nodding lifting the weapon handle before holding on to the shaft to hold it out to her the elf girl looked surprised before taking it gently and examining it quote dot dot dot this is impressive where did you get it she asked before raising a brow at a small thing on the base a small sigle that had her humming this is made by parsley hauh you know that girl in the Smithy a dwarf right he nodded yes I know her she's going to be my roommate at hga sounds like you got a kick-ass roommate narut chuckled as she smiled a bit oh uh right the name's Naruto Uzumaki he introduced and she blinked at his name handing him back his sword your name is interesting she said before considering something time we're going to head home but it was cool meeting yah time maybe we'll end up in the same last times and stuff sure take care the three separated Naruto holstering his weapon before folding his arms behind his head it seems that this was the right thing to do hakone said with his hands folded behind his back I can tell you likely made a good amount of lifelong friends today narut blushed a bit before grinning he I hope so nrk the following morning narut grinned nervously from a top one of the many roofs of the home circling High Guardian Academy dressed in the same clothes from yesterday he had a large duffel bag on his back and his weapons on his waist five more days he whispered to himself slowly as he sighed before nodding three more months power through you're not going to let this beat you Naro said to himself with a clenched fist you won't let her get to you nrk his first decision was to find the dorms and to do that he' made the executive decision of coming early in the morning and finding snap dragon's presence Naruto ran about the campus with hopsa plenty form a blur over the green grass dirt and stone pathways and structures as he got closer to Snapdragon location though Naro found himself catching another pair of presences he made one last leap before skidding to a halt at the sides of a line of students hauh what the oh hey Naruto Naruto heard with a shaky grin as he looked to his side to see a familiar dwarf and elf the former waving at him man I didn't think anyone else would get up so early parsley said with a chuckle Su and I needed to get here early so I could hurry on over to the dorms he said as he nodded to the both of them parsley time oh you knew time we met yesterday time said with a nod to him as he walked alongside them a pair of feet away single quote question mark single quote man seriously talk about a small world parsley said with a chuckle a medium-sized bag over her shoulder so time Naro you guys both chose the same paths she said as they blinked at one another really the two asked and the dwarf laughed at their Unity I didn't think you'd want to learn magic time said as Naruto rubbed the back of his head his cuff catching her attention that's some kind of fashion statement she noted as narudo blinked at her before sweating a bit single quote question mark single quote why yeah uh well it's slightly Enchanted really important narut said as parsley gasped really I I've only seen Enchanted stuff a few times in my life the small teen said in awe can I see it what no Naruto said immediately as she blinked before blushing and rubbing the back of her head you um sorry that's not I didn't mean to shout dbee question mark quote both girls stared at him as he stopped pale and then blushed huh it's nothing narut said in a higher octave D don't worry about it a and this is important so I don't like other people touching it he added his sweat fell like a waterfall down his face quote dot dot dot right parsley said with a raised brow as they walked through the dormatory doors time raised a brow as he face pumped curious they walked up some stairs and arrived on another floor before Naruto blinked as he came to a stop by by Snapdragon door only to look across to see parsley chuckling as time blinked in Surprise we neighbors the three said in unison as Naruto grinned nervously before nodding nice Toma neighbors he said as the dwarf grinned nice Toma neighbor she said with a snort as Naruto chuckled oh right did you get your room key quote dot dot dot where do I front desk downstairs but here time said as she tossed him something that he caught a key the lady up front was trying to give it to you but you kind of ran past oh crap I need to go and say sorry Naruto realized in horror as he moved to his room before entering it damn it he ran in put his stuff down and ran back out lock your door time reminded the boy already at the end of the hall he ran in a rewinding fashion before locking his door and bowing to her he then ran off ha he's a hoot parsley said with a chuckle As Time Shrugged he's humorous 10 minutes later Snapdragon blinked as he heard a knock on his door getting out of bed and answering it to find a pleasant surprise Naruto grinned with a wave Su snap he said as the taller boy smiled I heard you all earlier you know the girls across from us Snapdragon asked as he walked back to his bed and sat down Naro coming in and nodding yeah parsley and th there a dwarf and elf in in that order Naruto said with a grin as he dropped into the bed across from snapdragons so what paths are you taking for classes I am going the full Warrior route The Carrot Top said as he rubbed the back of his head Naruto looking to the front of his bed to see the axe T that's the weapon I'm going to wield it was my dad's that's so that's cool Naruto chuckled parents passing stuff down is super important I think why you think isn't that man from yesterday your dad well adopted dad the shorter boy said with closed eyes hakone Assan helped me out a year back and we've been tight ever since I uh never really got to meet my real parents Snapdragon winced oh oh I'm sorry n man I've learned to accept it there are some things we don't all get but we can learn to move on and live life to the fullest Naruto said with a closed eyed grin that Snapdragon blinked at quote dot dot do I kind of get it he said drumming his fingers against his sheets ha I think narut blinked at him sitting up as he saw his recent male friend's slightly sad look quote dot dot dot quote he looked back to the taller boy act before nodding hey snap The Carrot Top blinked as looked at the grinning Naruto w a spar nrk Naruto tilted his head as snapd drag and held his weapon in both hands the ACT looking like he was already struggling as is quote dot dot dot uh snap you sure you want to try and use that thing Naruto asked with a sweat drop as Snapdragon nodded why yeah why he asked concerned well you sure you don't want to use a lighter weapon first and no well that is snap fumbled I it was my dad's weapon like you said I want to wield it like him quote dot dot dot all right narut nodded as he held his shield at the ready while his hand rested on his weapon's handle how do you want to do this he asked as the taller boy blinked um what do you mean what's the spars wi con y know quote dot dot dot oh Snapdragon blushed at that you um the first one to fall down F5 times sure Naruto grinned as he bounced back and forth snap looking nervous all of sudden quote dot dot dot how about this each time time we knock each other down we explain how the other person could have stopped it why yeah that sounds good actually he said with a smile all right on three 1 2 3 snapd dragon's eyes narrowed before he ran at Naruto with as much speed as he could his weapon pulling on his arms as he did he swung when he got close enough only for the blonde to step in lift his shield to catch the blow and then throw snapd dragon's ax off point before shoulder charging him the orange-haired boy hitting the floor with a groan weapon a meter away ooh see that didn't last at all he grimaced before finding a hand in front of him come on up and at him Naro said with a smile as his fellow students side but took the offered hand so I can tell you that you shouldn't have run at me like that all right I'm not saying it's not something you should do charging I mean but you left yourself open almost immediately you can't let that happen snap you'll be open for anything that wants to cut your torso the ginger froze and ped covering his chest why yeah that sounds bad hey that's why you train man for you I'm confused have you not picked up a weapon before this thing Nar asked as Snapdragon blushed no it's fine sometimes you have to start somewhere so if you really want to get better with that thing you have to work your way up to it quote dot dot dot and how' I do that Snapdragon asked nervously before the blonde grinned as he got his axe and handed it back to him well for now focus on learning everything you can right now and whenever you actually get into a fight now let's go at this again Snapdragon looked down at his axe before nodding assuming that stance from before also focus on your stance too if you're defending you need a more solid stance going to attack you'll need to put your weight wherever it needs to be Snapdragon blinked before looking down at his feet attacking he widened his feet before leaning down a bit with his weapon held down better Naro said as he raised his shield until you can get a good hit on me I'll be using only my shield your goal right now is to push through let's get it he declared as Snapdragon rushed him Naruto's Shield blocked his downward swing before he stepped in again only to be pleasantly surprised as snap drag had already stepped back albeit roughly he'd still stepped back but this wouldn't be a spar if he just stopped so Snapdragon coughed as Naruto's Shield found his stomach and he hit the floor for the second time better you changed up your stance and focused on dodging to Naruto chuckled but well you're not thinking ahead enough I can tell you're smart snap you'd not be here if you weren't one of the smartest in the country right now you need to put that to the grindstone and plan for my possible moves he held out his hand and Snapdragon nodded slowly again all right pointers the next 10 minutes showed more Improvement Naruto thinks with no actual combat experience making snap use his mind had actually been a bit easier since he was working from ground zero the two of them were resting on the grass Naruto with his arms folded behind his head and Snapdragon groaning as he held his hands together above his chest formed dirty by dirt and grass their weapons rested beneath them the two boys were chilling so how do you like that training session Naruto asked Snapdragon who groaned I'm in a bit of pain Snapdragon said as he held his stomach why did you keep hitting my stomach because it's the core of almost all your attacks snap you have a ton of vital areas yeah but your stomach is basically the off switch to your body quote dot dot dot quote snap dragon considered that with a sigh why yeah you're right I'm sorry nothing to be sorry about you're learning that's fine Snapdragon was surprised the similar age boy could say that didn't he find him embarrassing quote dot dot dot Naruto I'm just uh don't you think I'm kind of weak Snapdragon asked as Naruto blinked at him I mean yeah you are he said honestly as the taller boy groaned eyes closing but I'm not going to dream you for it you're here to be a rather amazing thing you wanting to become better isn't something to be ashamed of the orange-haired boy looked surprised at that looking slightly embarrassed quote dot dot dot thanks no problem now come on let's do some exercises narut said with a grin as Snapdragon stomach flared ooh no nrk Naruto chuckled as he helped his fellow student to his room the two of them a bit sweaty okay okay he was a bit sweaty Snapdragon meanwhile was drenched and looked ready to pass out sorry seriously Naruto said with an apologetic smile I probably should have gone a bit easy and no ha Snapdragon gasped for air body in pain I I just wanted to see what it's like ah yeah uh you need to lay down stat H what's up came a voice from ahead of the two parsley waving at them in a white tunic and brown shorts quote dot dot dot and uh what happened to him parsley asked with concern I might have pushed snap too hard Naruto admitted as she shot him a look oh right we saw you two outside I'm surprised time said she was going to join you guys oh she did I'm back time said as she entered through a window clothes covered in green marks grass and some dirt H he's got way too much stamina she complained as parsley chuckled man I probably should have joined well while snap might not be able to I work out 5 days a week Nar said as she grinned sounds like a perfect replacement for working at home why I might go back stronger than I left parsley grinned well I'm going to go and grab lunch you all coming with nrk the group now clean and dressed again were walking into the main School building time in a a regular green shirt and brown pants Snapdragon in a blue tunic and white shorts and Naruto in a black shirt and orange pants as they walked down the dirt path Snapdragon hunged narut he spoke Naruto looking at him do you think I should get a different weapon H don't like your current one parsley asked a Snapdragon looked down I I know I don't hate it my dad was a guardian he went on all kinds of Adventures and even said his axe helped him meet Mom it's just I'm not built for it you're a stick time said without tact as snap whne Naro chuckling nervously you just need to either train or pick a new weapon or pick a weapon to use until you can use your dad's Naruto offered a snap looked at him you clearly respect your dad and his weapon but right now you're not strong enough to make the most of it so why not get a normal handaxe and use that to fight can I really do that the tall boy asked isn't it important I mean you already know you want to wield it one day harsley said as Snapdragon rubbed his arm it's a goal to work towards there's nothing wrong with that they made it inside the school before looking at one another in confusion you um parsley blinked before blushing a bit D does anyone know where the cafeteria is follow me time said as she took the lead the group falling behind her hmph she looked out the large Windows they passed the trees outside causing her eyes to soften narut grinned softly as he looked where she was looking hey time what are the Fairy Woods like he asked as the elf blinked before smiling it's an amazing Place n RK the days leading up to the start of school basically ended up like this training with Snapdragon and Naruto resting in the woods a bit with time or looking at history about magical swords with parsley with each Act ity Nar became a bit more comfortable around them and parsley was glad but she always seemed to notice something little things he was always mindful of touching them at least her in time the boy's reaction to girls in the hall would cause him to shift his walking pattern or leave him nervous and a bit sweaty she was sure maybe she in time noticed the elf's typically sharp eyes as they'd learned good at picking up on things likely the only one who didn't notice was Snapdragon and not due to him being not being as observative that was quite the opposite the boy was just too focused on workout pains so at night the last night before school started the four had convened in nut's room for a little get together at present the blonde had gone out to grab them all some food as the three sat in his room time in a purple shirt and cream colored pants Snapdragon in teal pajamas and parsley in a white shirt and yellow pajama pants so there's something I've been noticing Snapdragon said out of nowhere surprising the two what is something off about the weapon I made parsley asked and he shook his head what no I'm forever grateful for it and it's perfect I'm not talking about that it's it's Naruto what about him time asked as she closed her book drink being lowered have you guys noticed how he acts around Girls quote dot dot dot so you also saw it harsley said as she leaned back on nut's bed yeah we weren't sure if you did do to work out pains why yeah um those certainly aren't helping me focus on other things but I try to watch Naruto to just figure him out you know he's so weird Snapdragon said with some red on his cheeks as parsley laughed while time nodded he is but that's not the weird you're talking about is it no it's weird I it might be kind of stupid to say but does Naruto fear girls he asked them and two looked alarmed F fear us why parsley choked I don't know it's just one of the things I could come up with quote dot dot dot snap is probably right time said with a sigh Naro he's normally the most confident right up there with pars she added as parsley frowned Crossing her arms in the process he's calmed down a lot around us I'm not sure if you noticed quote dot do dot question mark exclamation mark quote parsa's eyes widened you uh well um when we first met he was really weird about something his dad said oh [ __ ] she flinched I I guess he wasn't sure what to do and I thought he was weird that's not cool well it's not like he says anything about it time said as Snapdragon nodded despite it Naruto doesn't hate women it's clear he interacts with our teachers just fine with us just fine I'm pretty sure her eyes narrowed sharp eyes becoming eagle-like quote dot dot dot I don't want to say anything not yet she said ears twitching look alive she whispered time no I'm serious I I'll confront him about this thought during school for now we can't let him realize we know something's up he didn't tell us he might be trying to fix it already you know exposing himself to a lot of females at once it' be for the best that we just let it be until I can find the time to ask him an important question Snapdragon nodded while parsley sighed looking down trotten I'm back narut said as he slipped into the doorway a bunch of bags full of warm smelling food in his arms what did I miss nothing beside as wondering if you know what professor hakone teaches timel as easily as she breathed while Snapdragon nodded growing more nervous as he thought about the LIE uh H he's not going to run us into the ground round right The Carrot Top asked oh I bet amarillis will love that H oh oh right you're a female acquaintance harsley said with a strained grin that time sigh at while Snapdragon nodded with a gulp H hey what do you think Naruto she asked in an octave nod befitting her normally cheery attitude Naruto's grin was on in seconds butt now that they were paying attention they could see the slight worry in his eyes that disappeared in seconds oh uh well wek welcome her like anyone else narut said after some minor stuttering what's she like Snap he asked as he sat down next to him above parsley but they noted the foot away from the edge of the bed when he passed around food he gave times to snap and held parcelas in a dainty dual finger pinch she took it with a frown and winced as Naruto noticed with a frown something wrong quote dot dot dot well no not really she lied just thinking about class why you know I don't know if I'll like the work or if it'll be too hard parsley mentally choked Nar blinked before chuckling I think you'll Define my weapons are some of the best I've ever had he said jabbing his thumb behind him to set equipment being held up on the wall I think you'll de great he said with a grin parsley tilted her head before shrugging yeah I guess I guess you would say that she said with a chuckle rubbing her hair in thought as she nodded all right I don't know what'll happen but I'll figure things out as we go that's the spirit Snapdragon chuckled while time hunged parsley meanwhile blinked as she rubbed her cheeks h a bit warmer than usual it wasn't the worst heat she'd ever dealt with not by a long shot but it felt kind of bothersome hmph she bit into her food they had a big day ahead of them nrk narut awoke early in the morning to the sound of the door opening he sat up and saw his roommate Cal right he said to the other boy who blinked at him oh right I was supposed to have a roomie here already the guy said the other boy was about the same height as Naruto himself but sported light brown skin medium length messy purple hair his pink eyes observed Naruto in equal measure as he was already dressed in the male school uniform said uniform being composed of a blue blazer a white shirt shirt a gold cloth vest a red tie a pair of tan slacks and brown dress shoes he put his large suitcase down by the second bed so who are you name's narut Naruto Uzumaki Nar said with a stretch what time is it about 6 I figured I'd get some z's before school started gotcha take it easy the boy dropped into the bed opposite him and the two went to sleep an hour later Cal awoke to noises in the bathroom and yawned as he sat up you in there yep just finished putting on pants give me a second and 30 seconds later Nar came out in the school uniform minus his tie and shoes all yours Cal took the offer and Naruto nodded as he grabbed his weapons and placed them on his waist holsters all right time to go to class he said to himself as Cal came out 10 minutes later looking refreshed ready to go we could probably grab some something to eat before the first Bell the grape head looked very interested in that sure let's go he pulled his own weapon out of one compartment of his suitcase and the two were off well almost as they saw a familiar Carrot Top waiting outside their door H oh you must be Naruto's roommate Snapdragon said as Naruto grinned and Cal observed him quote dot dot dot wait aren't you the dragon's son Cal asked in shock a Snapdragon boed CH the dragon um I mean my dad was a guardian but I don't think he's that famous he's not but I can get behind a manly guy like that you look kind of scrawny to be his kid though he said with a smirk a Snapdragon blushed she that is I focused more on smarts before coming here Naruto and our friends are helping me get up to Snuff he said as he gestured to his weapon I'm going to pick up my dad's weapon eventually the weapons on the boy's waist and back were easily viewable what with them both having a slight yellow tint to them they were a medium-sized shield and small axe The Shield had a small Snapdragon in its Center while the axe was more like a Lumberjack's axe in looks but had a dark handle I see adding a shield I guess it' be better Cal said with a shrug as Snapdragon nodded another boy coming out of Snapdragon dorm room a what a beautiful way to face the day he said in some fluffy looking white baths quote dot dot dot hum you're our neighbors aren't you the guy asked with a hair flicking his bright yellow currently slightly wet hair Aster's the name the son of the great Chris right Cal said in disbelief as Aster looked proud as stated before Aster had smooth looking blonde hair he also sported fair skin and blue eyes narut noted he also had a pretty boy aesthetic or really he would were he not a see-through projection of the boy in question what's with every guy either looking like a bad boy or pretty boy he asked in disbelief as the three looked at him have you seen the other male students I know this is supposed to be the best of the best but they're all good-looking Nar tapped his Noggin the world is weird also why are you blue wait which one am I Cal asked do you really need to ask quote dot dot dot hmph the grape head rolled his neck come on food now no eat dinner last night all right well Aster we're going to the cafeteria Snapdragon said to his roommate who nodded when are you supposed to be here again he asked take your time these looks take time the bathrobe wearing boy said with a chuckle and in a month or so we just got to a nice town and I'm loving my life here they had Vision crystals it's clear that this place we've got to enjoy his form fizzled away leaving Snapdragon to lock it while Cal's eyebrow twitched he's a fruit he snorted as Naruto tilted his head I think he's just really flamboyant the blonde said come on Naruto urged them forward before knocking on parsley and 's door yo we're heading to the cafeteria before class gotcha came parsa's voice as Naruto nodded huh who's that another friend and our other friend is in there too we all met around a week ago Nar R said as they walked off leaving the dormitories quote dot dot dot you know I never thought about it but is having a co-ed dorm a good idea he sweat dropped quote dot dot dot oh oh that's what you Snapdragon blushed before realizing the implication why yeah well I guess people have control here he said unsurely as Cal laughed you virgins what the hell are you asking stupid questions for Cal snorted as the two blushed knew it you guys need to take this chance coed dorms girls literally across the hall and no real dorm mother this is prime time for you two to try and lose something damn it Cal can you not be a perv Naruto grunted with a face palm besides we're supposed to be learning not getting our rocks off in the dormitories he said a Snapdragon blushed harder quote dot dot dot crap snap I'm just saying stuff gez you two need ser ious work the three bantered as they made it to the main building and got into the cafeteria where Snapdragon blink before finding a girl running up to him with a big grin that he received with a chuckle God I thought I'd never find you here she said as she looked at the trio oh made some buds narut raised a brow at the short girl in front of him as he said before she was short sporting white skin purple eyes and a purple chin length hairstyle that flared out at the back of her head like the Cobra she grinned at the trio in the girls school uniform it was basically like the boy's uniform save for the skirt which was light blue in color and she had on silver bracelet cuffs while having her sleeves rolled up hum haaha the students are such crime pickings she cackled maniacally as Cal smirked at least someone's thinking properly he said as Naruto and Snapdragon eyebrows twitched horribly nam's Cal you this stick and Bones friend as a matter of fact I am she said with a smug smirk name's amarillis quote dot dot dot hum I feel like your family is highp she snorted my dad maybe my [ __ ] of a mom hell no Naruto gaped a Snapdragon hand found his face they became friends the two of them thought exasperatedly with the two finding common ground the four got their early snack and walked to class so uh what's our first set of classes Naruto asked to Snapdragon pulled a folded bit of paper out of his pocket ethics he said as amarillis groaned though I don't know if it's the same for you boring Cal nodded and no as magicky kids go to Sacred alphabets first thing today ethics I don't see the point the grap head said we here to be Warriors we talk with our weapons or fists you can't think like that all the time Nar said as he stayed away from amarillis in a diagonal you realize peace is way better than fighting all the time right interesting thing for someone to say with a weapon that stabs the girl said as Cal nodded how is that for your philosophy sadly peace isn't easy there are going to be so many ups and downs sometimes you really can't understand someone without fighting them other times you can just not I'm prepared to protect people but that doesn't mean I won't find the less painful way out sounds like coward talk Cal said if a witch from witch country finds you what are you going to do the way nut's shoulders flinched got a smirk out of him exactly Naruto meanwhile grimaced that's not the point damn it and what if the person you're fighting has lost the will to fight what are you going to do whatever I need to my family's served our kingdom for decades I don't have time to grow weak is that what you think he means Snapdragon frowned this isn't about being weak if the man woman or child you're fighting gives up what's the point in doing more damage it may seem that way but it's not that easy amarus said as they stopped not everyone's open to talking snap whiskers that's not wrong Naruto said but if no one is that's what leads to Wars unnecessary fighting needless Bloodshed I'm not here for that H came a familiar tone from one wyvern ACH what are you all doing here the ethics teacher asked um for class Snapdragon said what about disorientation quote dot dot dot quote quote dot dot do quote quote dot dot dot quote the what Naruto asked nrk they were teleported into the area where they needed to be finding a familiar pair of friends and two others with them they didn't know gez I thought you guys forgot parsley said with a grin as Naruto chuckled nervously quote dot dot dot thought you forgot didn't you I didn't even know this was a thing he admitted so uh These are My new roommate and snap's friend Cal and amarillis in that order Naruto said as the two purple-haired teens shot the group a look nice Toma I guess you both finally got here harsley said with a smile As Time raised a brow oh these two are some girls I met when I went back during the pre-move in Rosemary and Sage pink and blue respectively Naruto raised a brow at the two newcomers the pink one waving at him Su she said with a big grin Rosemary as you'd have it had fluffy pink hair set in big round pigtails that looked soft to the touch her skin was fair and her eyes were a nice baby Blue Sage meanwhile was a shorter girl who had light brown skin pinkish red eyes and blue hair that ended in a long braided ponytail a top the girl's head sat a dark purple witch's hat PE play pleasure to meet you Sage said as she saw them three boys and a girl she must feel lonely she knew she'd feel lonely like that nice to meet you Snapdragon said as amarilla smirked nice hat she saw sarcastically as Sage nodded thanks quote dot dot dot oh this egg's going to be fun to crack chill Naruto said Su beautiful Cal said with a suavest grin he could muster as Naruto's head slowly turned to his fellow male students Sage huh nice name he complimented as Sage blinked before pointing to herself no one else is as beautiful in this room Naruto's mouth fell as the girl blushed a bit Sage fiddling with her braid Rosemary's eyebrow Rose before she leaned towards him um this is the first time I've ever seen Sage blush like this is this normal why are you asking me she's your friend I mean this Cal guy quote dot dot dot I only just met him this morning sorry students pipe down came a familiar voice from above the group turning around to see a pair of staircases with the teachers going up them before facing the group this isn't just time for yall all to dilly dally Naruto grinned nervously before Rosemary whispered to him who are these guys she asked as she tilted her head they're the Triad Naruto Snapdragon th and Sage said in unison surprising one another right they run the school okay that's enough what we sharing brain cells already Cal asked with interest no it's just weird the four said again before groaning damn it it seems we're already in syn harsley said with a chuckle as amarillis raised a brow at them weird welcome firste students the mature Triad member said with a sothing tone as the teachers bowed to them seeing as this is your first day of class the young Triad said of school if y forgot the Elder Triad added yes you all have been gathered and chosen amongst the best in the country the mature one said where some might have great intelligence Snapdragon and Sage perked up hmph and some of you just might have been Rowdy little twits ha the Elder Triad said Naruto Cal Rosemary and amarus chuckled nervously or grinned oh or you may excel in more than one field those that help others or allow for great change the young Triad continued time and parsley raised their brows you all will hone those powerful gifts of yours in these halls for the next 3 years the mature one said that'll depend the Elder said I know none of you want to repeat your years why there was one boy who messed up so bad we use him as a failing word don't be a Doyle Doyle Naruto raised a brow at that gez I feel for you Doyle hauh he sucks Cal said a Snapdragon barely held in his laughter one minute more of business the mature Triad said before class takes place Sage squeaked what she whispered hotly as parsley raised a brow W what about orientation hm we don't do that here girly the Elder Triad said with a grin life ain't so proper you came here because y don't need no stinking normal orientation that's the Bas of disorientation the heck does that even mean Sage hissed in disbelief you old Crone H as crass as she says so that's the truth the mature Triad said with a nod as Guardians you'll learn in time that the world isn't as clean as the walls of lingar might make you believe the young Triad raised her hand the appendage glowing blue before a spiritual map appeared above them many of you come from notable families others from the country side and many from lingar itself history isn't taught fully in normal schools and lessons that's for a reason the young one said with a sad smile the era of Peace we currently maintain isn't necessarily a facade but it's tightly held together thanks to Guardians that are spread throughout lingar the countries the world monsters evil witches Bandits crazy people and the tax man the Elder Triad counted off why you'd be surprised by how messy Our Lives can be messy Snapdragon frowned what could she mean by that he asked the others who all Shrugged save for Naruto time and Cal what did you guys think you just got to go on princess y Adventures saving the day and all that [ __ ] Cal said vulgarly the piece is only kept by bloody hands Rosemary Snapdragon parsley and Sage flinched at his words quote dot dot dot it's not right to say that's what messy means time said as Cal scoffed but he's not wrong in concept the world is always full of dastardly individuals who need to be taken down places and homes might get destroyed if were not there to protect them W what Sage whispered in horror as parsley looked at Naruto with a frown the normally positive blond's eyes gained a concerned gleam that he shook away narut do you also believe in that the dwarf asked yes and no unfortunately he admitted life without Bloodshed is possible I know it can be it's just hard sometimes you have to make the hard decisions if you can't solve a problem quickly enough Cal and time nodded while amarillis cued her chin and Snapdragon winced it only makes sense bad guys are a thing the purple-haired girl said as Rosemary frowned we're around to make sure everyone no matter how much of a [ __ ] they are gets a happy ending she twitched her fingers as snap Dragon rubbed the back of his head quote dot dot dot maybe but that doesn't mean I think nardos got a point Rosemary said as amarilla snickered narutu dweeb s sorry she said as Naruto chuckled it's not like you butchered it it's close enough he said you all will learn over the years that these words hold an unfortunate truth in them the mature Triad said dispelling the chatter but despite all of that being said she smiled despite the darkness the messes the evils of the world and those who fight against the light were here where Guardians Of The World At Large every big insignificant or even seemingly meaningly part of it is worth protecting because that's what those words stand for hmph the old woman looked out at them with a gaze that was unbefitting of her usual Bluster The World Isn't some big thing that you belong in no if anything it's you yourself who makes the waves the changes the influence that alters its path every Guardian to this day has given themselves to the world and that ritual is resolved in one special way I'm sure most of you know of the young Triad grinned as the three of them raised their hands their limbs burning blue as a well- constructed itself on the marble floor a guardian's vow is sacred she explained to you all it'll seem odd at first but let me assure you a guardian's vow should truly be considered unless you get him wrong the Elder cack then it's back to the drawing board perhaps the mature Triad said patiently some of you will evolve your vows over time while Others May stick to them through and through there's no wrong answer except when it's wrong yes well in that regard it means for the sake of selfish needs and wants so yell into the hole don't be a Doyle and welcome your butts to High Guardian Academy the old woman said as her cane clacked against the marble floor your vows should should be declared by dinner time the mature Triad said you can declare your vow at any point in time don't worry about taking some time to yourselves now off to your first classes so does anyone even have their vows already parsley asked the group only for two of them to step forward huh I didn't think the both of you would be so gung-ho already please my family's passed down our vows for years Cal said I don't really need to think for Naro said with a grin I can only speak from the heart what I believe in protecting deep down the two went forward and the group watched curiously as their breaths were taken by glowing blue energy Cal finishing up before Naruto went next the boy vow wasn't long like cows had been but he grinned as he stepped back from the well all right I'm ready to go to my first class sacred alphabets right narut immediately asked amarillis who snorted yes ERS you me and whoever has a Magic Mix will go there first she said huh wait we don't all have the same schedule Rosemary asked in horror as Sage flinched W what the two pulled out their schedules before whining in unison T the only things we have together are everything ours what the heck even is that that young Guardian is the time for most if not all students to spend how they desire hakone said as he walked up to them and you you'll be happy to know all the freshmen will be around in the same class and time as well so that should assuage your fears Rosemary looked back at her schedule before peing at sages and deflating in relief thank you sir h no problem the instructor said before looking at narut you all should get to your classes I'll see you in 4 hours anyway take care Naro don't cause too much trouble no promises Assan narut grinned before walking off now where's what's that word mean Sage asked with a tilt of the head as Naruto froze mid-step before grinning nervously from what I know it's what he calls his dad harsley added supportively why yeah it's uh an old language narut said vaguely just some old stuff really I didn't know there was a language with a word like that Sage said as he Shrugged sorry don't know the name for it I just know it she found that weird but didn't push for now nrk welcome welcome came the teacher at the front of the classroom as Naruto sage amarillis and time got there on time ah welcome I'm glad you all could make it the teacher was a man of above average height fair skin and slightly curly black hair that came down past his ears one of which had an earring within it dressed in black slacks and dress shoes a white dress shirt with a a blue ribbon tie a blue cloth vest and a dark blue peaco with gold accents his Sandy Brown Eyes watched them all come into the room Naro Sage time and amarilla sat in a square-like formation at the two person desks near the front Naro and time being situated near the windows okay we're all here the man said with a smile clap and Nod for starters let me introduce myself I'm Professor caroway I'll be your sacred alphabets teacher along with having a small bit of magical combat with Professor hakone Naruto perked up really I'd heard things were different before this year oh you know but for the sake of clarity with his previous one year of absence many of the teachers got to see what it was like to teach a combat oriented class caroway said with a smile it was fun for a good few of us and we decided to pitch in when we could sounds cool so tell us when we get to beam our classmates Amarilis said with excit as Sage's eyes shrunk and no magic isn't to be used for that she squeaked come on chipmunk think of it using that hat for a good reason M my hat has nothing to do with this H I'm glad we're so Lively in the mornings the professor said now I'm curious is anyone here familiar with a sacred language runes Elish speak see talk three students raised their hands Naro time and Sage hesitantly really do you practice them often young man uh the name's Naruto and not really he admitted I've looked over a lot of books on them for the past year but me and my pops couldn't make heads or taals of it that's fine hakone has never really been a magic Adept so his son taking the lead towards the path is how life works sometimes now yes you time yes carway pointed at time who nodded well my ears time said as she pointed at them I'm an elf I know a good bit of Elish speak it's good for communicating with nature sounds fun amarus said as Naruto nodded can you receive a willing sacrifice what 's eyebrow lowered in disbelief is Naruto choked no you don't do that respecting nature is important why yeah I'm uh narut realized he made a fatal error As Time said don't go messing with nature it'll bite back eventually he' willingly sat next to her crap exactly carow said with a chuckle there are different aspects of magic and the sacred alphabets are ones that exhibit that trait the most now the last one of you Sage right why yeah um uh Sage floundered wrapping her arms around her head the thing is my family has a ton of books and we read them sometimes amarillis made to comment but nutk pencil proding her side got her to stop lest she squeak in class her head snapped back to him only to see a completely innocent Naruto sitting there head facing the window as he sweat buckets I got you [ __ ] she'd not let this slide my mother is someone who specializes in old magic Sage explained further she likes all forms of the old ways and runes were some of her favorite things she admitted as the class chuckled or snickered um she steamed hey nothing's wrong with using the old ways Naruto said as he leaned back in his seat 's pencil pushing him back forward onto his chair's legs hum All Things Considered I don't really see the point to teros feares outside of emergencies huh how can you say that amarillis squawked as Naruto fumbled in his seat explain plean oi Naro huffed before rolling his eyes does anyone honestly think teroser are all that great he asked yes the class responded and he grumbled as caroway chuckled you think otherwise he asked as narut nodded yeah he said as Sage looked at him in Surprise because you can't fix things with teros speres for one that I learned a week back from the Triad two I just don't see the point inless it's an emergency like I said earlier you don't want unlimited power amarus asked ominously as he rolled his eyes leaning away from her in his seat I don't need power that I don't need if you plan on doing a specific task and stuff for the future you should specialize in that way and be the best you can be right old magic provides more powerful effects than new magic it'll take a bit but there are quicker casting skills like using runes right he asked caroway who nodded he's not wrong new magic is Grand it provides powerful additions to one skill set but it's not Limitless and it's not perfect as Naruto explained outside of that you can't have new magic without old magic they're like parent and child ug amarus groaned as Naruto grinned shakily at her this is your fault she huffed as he Shrugged guilty is charged time smirked a bit at that before blinking as something caught her eye her green orbs went to the left and she raised a brow at a black cat a black cat with a snaggle tooth bendy whiskers black eyes and a big scar on its stomach area down to its right hip the feline's eyes watched the blonde Fox boy with a sort of lazy interest interest that didn't leave it like normal cats would have the hell time raised a brow as it looked at her wrong addition she jumped and her gaze snapped to her side to see Sage handing her a book from Professor caroway you've got the wrong book Sage said looking confused as time blinked in Surprise oh uh thanks she said as she accepted it eyes going back to the window to find no cat there that wasn't weird or anything nrk every Monday it seemed like they all had everything hours after their first class Naruto reached the Rotunda alongside the others the gathered students staring at M dretch in confusion hum that should be everyone she said with a hum before rolling her finger into the air a portal appeared above them before Naruto jumped and barely caught the boy who fell through a portal now we're all here the demon has said with a smirk as the boy in question waved Su everyone he said in a slow fashion as Naruto sweat dropped putting him down nice save man the blonde looked at the odd individual with a nervous chuckle the boy's lazily half- lited eyes closed as he smiled his fair skin and mop of green hair forming a calming image or the image of someone on some calming stuff right now as you all know you're now doing everything ours wyna said as Naruto and the random boy found his friends every day at this time you all will find yourselves with two free to do as you please but you'd be wise to use it to polish your special skills Cal smirked and Snapdragon rolled his eyes marshal arts drawing swimming magic you name it you can practice it during your everything hours it's going to be affecting your futures though it's not a teacher's responsibility to tell you what to do but you can come to us for ideas and tutelage if that's how you want to spend the time given to you so we just work out huh Cal asked and she Shrugged yeah that's helpful you do as you please for those two hours but things won't always remain that way wyvern's hands burned with a dark power before she flung her appendage about to show four different portals in a week's time you all will soon be allowed and told to go to different locations and locals perhaps it'll be to a cursed tomb she pointed to a portal or to a tainted Forest perhaps the nest of ice dragons or my personal favorite she grinned sharp teeth on on display the Demon World wait what amarillis boed along with many others what do you mean you're sending us to Hell hum hum hum well it' be hard to not see where you're coming from but no there's no hell here you'll learn how the different Realms separate in time but for now know that demons can come from two separate planes of existence hell itself in the demon world that sounds worrying Snapdragon said as Sage nodded who' go to the the demon world what would they gain oh do you want to see wyna offered as the group felt a chill run down their spines H H I'm kidding I'm kidding though I'm not lying the Demon World Isn't what you believe it is and for your information people might go to the Demon World to learn about certain Magics and languages you can't possibly gain here on Earth wait really Nar asked as she nodded to him specifically so that choice what is it for now just relax and focus on your talents you'll be presented with your choices come next week dismissed enjoy your everything hours the group looked at one another before walking out into the yard so what's everyone going to do for the next two hours parsley asked is the group hun quote dot dot dot I'm going to be practicing a technique it's dangerous but I need to get it down Naruto said a fighting technique Snapdragon asked and Naruto hummed well it's basically meant for combat but it's no good until I've completed it he said as Sage blinked so uh you guys might not know this but I can't use teros feres hauh amarillis blinked at him the hell's that mean anyone can use a terrasphere that's like the whole point hehe yay but I can't Naruto said as the group blinked in confusion I'm not physically able to use them they don't work with me you know how it works right you use a little bit of your spiritual energy and activate it people call the mental commands but that's just a simple way of looking at it hmph that's the first time someone said it that way Cal said so what you chose the Mage course because runes basically he explained as time raised a brow I told you I can't use teros speres but that doesn't mean I can't use magic you mean old magic Rosemary said I mean yeah buddy do what you can the group as a whole stopped as Naruto raised a finger and a ball of Golden Light formed at the tip I don't just mean old magic he clarified as he kept walking I don't need to use a magical method to use magic I can do it all on my own the group boed before catching up w Wait what that doesn't make sense Snapdragon hissed in disbelief as Naruto nodded holding a finger to his lips are you an elf time looked alarmed more than before nope fully not elf and that's an issue actually the blonde admitted as parsley frowned why isn't this like some super awesome special trait she asked and he grinned nervously it's not natural Naruto admitted as they reached the courtyard confusing the others sorry I honestly don't want to say much more he said as he rubbed the back of his head just know it's super secret for a good reason so I've got to go and improve my control and stuff you never did say what you were going to do Sage said well I can use magic in just an energy form so Naruto began as he held his hand in front of them I can't just use magic I have to train it I have to improve my control to even learn how to use actual spells so I came up with a technique to use gold swirled together at the center of his palm before his hand clawed up and and a ball began to form only for it to burst out throwing all of their hair back this isn't good enough it needs to be a perfect sphere of energy that has all kinds of directions if I can get this down to my standard I can truly learn a ton of Magic the blond said as they saw his hissing hand dude that looks brutal harsley said with a winst at his hissing hand yeah I have more than enough marks from that Nar said as he walked off I'll be in the woods if you need me w Wait hold on teach me that Sage pleaded as Naruto heard the others hurry after him you said it improves control yeah but it requires you to know how to use magic as Just Energy Sage I can find a rune for that she said in defiance as he raised a brow quote dot dot dot I I think the same thing like you at least that's how I was brought up old magic is powerful and I think it' be a good thing to know how to improve my magical control right well Naruto considered something maybe you should actually focus on trying to pull out more power from a spell with your spiritual energy actually for me that's basically what I'm doing but I have to train to get to that level so say use a weak spell and see how far you can push it it sounds practical time said with crossed arms if you can turn a weak spell into a powerful one that' be good too H but can't y just keep smack mashing together runes Cal asked no at least it's not wrong to say that but to get into more powerful spells you need to be able to handle them still Sage explained Naruto's approach isn't wrong when people considered witches and wizards as and nerds they don't realize that magic takes a lot of reading to gain the right intelligence but if Naruto's method works I can get past a good bit of that fine teach me to amarus said with a groan as Naruto sweat drop don't sound so eager riy so I guess I should just keep exercising Snapdragon asked and Naruto nodded now that you're getting into the groove snap you should probably also add in a set of Sword swings he said maybe try for 50 in total oh I can do that Rosemary said with a grin as Sage chuckled nervously I've got my own style y see um what what kind Snapdragon asked just know it's one that's based off a one my mom used she clarified Rosemary is mostly self-taught Sage explained as parsley whistled they accepted her on self-taught skills that's pretty impressive the dwarf said in my case I don't really have a style I just use what I think works same Rosemary grinned hmph that's so then how about a match Cal offered with a grin mace in hand a generic looking thing with powerful spikes on on it let's see how you're soall self-taught skills hold up you're on this is going to be good snap I is it Snap Dragon asked we don't know how she fights what if she's a barbarian amarillis asked is Sage began to sweat she might just tackle him and bite down and rip out his riy chill the ginger choked why yeah uh letun not do that Cal said nervously as parsley chuckled I'm probably going to need to grab some big rocks watch this for me she said to Naruto as she placed her hammer down next to him be back the male blonde was curious as he grabbed the handle of the hammer and lifted it with one arm tightening his grip damn pars is really strong he said as held the weapon in two hands sighing in relief much better honestly a training weapon this heavy would be kind of rat how heavy can it be Cal rolled his eyes as Naruto grinned slightly and pass on the weapon it's not in he struggled on one leg before gripping the weapon with both hands and lifting it in front of his chest with effort H how the hell do you lift this thing lots of muscle training Naruto said as Snapdragon paled yeah snap that thing would snap you in half the lanky boy nodded rapidly hell to the no with everyone going into their own things Naro sat down with sage amarillis and time so the name name of the technique is called spiraling orb Nar said with a shaky grin as he tucked his legs in close the basics of the skill are one rotation two power and the last part is to condense it while doing the first two he added as he raised his hand again he demonstrated the first part and Sage tilted her head at The Faded golden energy swirling around next part Naro said as he stopped the multidirectional power and pushed tons of energy into a single point the difference was clear the space above his hand distorted with a throbbing point in it I can feel it time said with a shiver all that energy at one point feels dangerous it's not a weak technique Naro said with that incomplete one from earlier I could probably punch through three whole trees before it went away it's meant to be a fight Ender anything getting hit with it ain't getting back up for a bit it's really elf-like Sage said as time nodded to call on Magic itself isn't easy feet you said this isn't natural the actual elf asked and Naruto grinned nervously I it's a situation I'm dealing with i' bet he was probably killing himself by being near them so I just do those two things and condense them at the end basically narut rubbed the back of his head if I knew I'd be showing this off I'd have bought a ton of small balloons that had help big time doing this a balloon amarilla said in disbelief y using a small balloon you'll know how big it's supposed to be how to use your energy in different directions and pop it like that and then how to use pure power to burst a balloon some training can look weird but it works out in a lot of ways in a way it's practical I guess Sage said as she pulled a book out from her backpack runes on using pure energy I already know some weak spells for forming shapes finding one that I can use to raise my energy output would be nice goo give me something that won't work in nerd speak amarus said to Naruto who chuckled nervously well what kind of spells do you like the most he asked and the way her mouth widened into a horrid grin made him realize he' made a mistake n deadly quote dot dot dot hm she pouted at that as time rolled her eyes well for your information I like trap magic Vines and stuff why is that so on brand time mutters all right well for you why don't you try and catch some of the animals around here no do not hurt them just try to catch them fine she pouted some more I'm going to hit you with some of these Vines eventually Naruto cleared his throat loudly As Time smirked kinky she whispered can we not oh but we can amarillis said with a big perverted grin we definitely can go and train already heyya he Amarilis shouted from the side Vines shooting around a set of squirrels feet the girl trying to trip them up come back here yavar Naruto grinned nervously what have I done Unleashed a girl with issues time said truthfully as she focused on a thick root on the ground the more she raised her hand the higher it got hum make it Sprout more H why yeah Naruto said as he stood up a bit away hands hissing from burn marks on them maybe you can make your own Fairy Woods one day he added with a determined grin as he started again the golden sphere began to form as Naruto began to paw at the space around it the energy following his swipes before he held it like a ball form trembling with effort the ball began to make a sound once more like every other one Naruto had made over the past 20 minutes before it throbbed and one of the blond's eyes closed in pain come on he hissed as he held his hands together to contain it damn it it's such a pain in the ass narut cursed in his head as he felt fire erupt all over his body that curse hadn't been benign when he'd first gotten it but it was far worse than he ever expected when he and hakone had been living together it ruined his energy Network and making even a renon was like he was doing it all over again he growled as he focused more energy into it Naruto's eyes widened in horror and the moment he dropped his Focus the technique exploded and sent him slamming into a tree with a hiss sliding down it with his eyes clenched shut damn it he grimaced before covering his mouth as he heard the sound of hurrying steps no she can't Naruto are you time blinked as Sage stood up in the background is everything all right the blue-haired girl asked as she made to come over before time waved her off he seems like he just needs to sit down I've got it the elf said as she kneeled by Naruto the blond's eyes clenched and his hand covering his mouth quote dot dot dot your eyes time said softly as his eyes snapped open allowing her to see them again quote dot dot dot is this why you didn't want us touching you she asked Naruto's skin dropped in color and she looked around before holding out a hand quote dot dot dot oh uh right this wouldn't help she remembered as he got up with a look towards the ground quote dot dot dot I'm no good at this she said you don't have to am worry he said behind his hand hand I'm I'm fine I'm SW you're clearly not okay the elf said as he winced quote dot dot dot is this a big part of why you're scared of touching girls she asked and he sighed removing his hands from his mouth time saw his slightly darkened whisker birth marks the slit nest of his pupils and the red colors of his irises quote dot dot. quote Naro turned away I need to steady my energy a bit sorry he walked off leaving time frowning before she was flanked by Snapdragon parsley and amarillis W what's going on the short girl asked slightly ragged he doing something quote dot dot dot time parsley asked she and Snapdragon covered in sweat what happened quote dot dot dot Nar should she say it Naruto hadn't said it was secret he hadn't even freaked out about her knowing so much as his altered features showing quote do dot dot did it have something to do with his technique exploding Snapdragon asked with a long coughing sigh C AEM maybe he got hurt would he hide that he looked like the tell me your feelings type amarilla said and the three nodded that's not wrong narut is rather in tune with his emotions and doesn't care if we express too much snap said with a hand rubbing the back of his head he doesn't really hide his emotions and tells us we shouldn't either qu dot dot dot his eyes changed colors time explained truthfully I think heun's embarrassed about them she lied the next possible second that's it don't be [ __ ] amarus shouted into the forest and smirked as she heard stumbling a damn it riy Nar shouted hey well I guess if that's all harsley said with a concerned look before nodding to time well just keep an eye on him we don't know if he hurt himself when he slammed into the tree and caused that they looked at the wood and all winced at not only its bent angle but also its crack point that almost followed through the whole thing I'll handle it the elf said with a nod walking to the side and then jumping into the trees go back to training I'll probably join back in hopefully with Naruto in toe Nar sighed as he meditated that coiling mess in his back caling down quote dot dot dot you can come out time the fox boy said solemnly as he heard her steps appear on the ground quote dot dot dot I guess you'll want to talk thanks for covering for me by the way he said gratefully coming over time moved a bit ahead of the blonde and sat down something's wrong with you right she asked outright as he chuckled straightforward as always can't say it's not your charm he said with a small grin as she huffed cheeks a bit red quote dot dot dot and it's it's a bit more complicated than that sorry to the point you can't tell us quote dot dot dot it's not that I don't want to or really there's a whole story to this I really don't want to tell he looked embarrassed and yet mortified I you weren't wrong about me not liking touching girls so much as touching fingers but you're wrong about one thing what time was just grateful he was open about this to an extent which part is it really not girls or is it a certain type narut chuckled humorlessly and she flinched at it quote dot dot dot no it's certainly because of touching the opposite and stuff it's not about me fearing them it's me fearing for them time was left confused I I don't understand quote dot dot dot you remember when I was asking about the Demon World earlier yeah does it have something to do with this I'd hope it'll have a solution Nar admitted and she looked stumped I'm not I'm not sick if you're wondering I'm not scared of girls I couldn't be not the general populace of females he clenched his hands as the elf frowned she scooted closer and he flinched wearing a shaky Smile as she reached out to his hand time touched it and felt his entire body spasm from just that bit of contacte dot dot dot quote she looked immensely concerned as she stopped I'm sorry she whispered quote dot dot dot I would have stopped you if I didn't want you to understand he sigh quote dot dot dot immense Soul binding pain Naruto added in a whisper and time's eyes shrunk as her skin paled n Naruto you're not P please don't tell that it happens no matter how little contact it is he interrupted her and it gets worse depending on how much contact there is time was left there flored as she saw how his whiskers darkened more one of his eyes burned red and his hair grew Wilder as his tail began to grow orange quote dot dot dot I'm so sorry she whispered is there anything you can do about it thankfully this might be solved in November Naruto said and she looked relieved but confused the teacher working in spells curses and hexes are helping figure out how to solve this curses are you cursed yeah quote question mark exclamation mark quote she flinched back at the matter of fact tone he'd answered her in quote dot dot dot quote time winced before looking down do you have any little things things that alleviate the pain narut blinked at her before grinning the elf scoffing a bit you're a lot Kinder than you think y know he said with a chuckle as she blushed and well no not really I've tried painkillers before and they don't work this pain isn't physical quote dot dot dot a spiritual pain binding yeah who' do that to you she asked with some heat that's disgusting yeah well the woman who did it wasn't a shining member of her country Naruto said before flinching as time's head perked up in shock and no I'm serious time please don't ask which country she realized in horror he'd been cursed by a female witch but why what did he do or did she want that she'd do that time let out a heated sigh calming down quote do dot dot so you're fine for the most part does being near me and parsley hurt you no it's not that distance is the issue just contact Naruto said Being closer just means you'll be more likely to touch me sorry no no it's fine it's more than I expected thanks you know for being open no problem and well I don't think I need to say it but don't tell a soul got you he smiled with a nod before getting up features finally bleeding away to leave his normal ones in their place come on let's go before the others get too worried she nodded getting up before the two of them began to walk back to the others as they did though time frowned as something knocked at the back of her Noggin wasn't there something he'd said that she was forgetting right in the trees above a black cat's eyebrows lowered in Focus returning the two barely broke the tree line before Rosemary came flying past wo where's all this strength she began to say as she landed on a tree's trunk before shooting back coming from Cal smirked as he caught her flying lunge with the shaft of his mace feet digging into the ground before he tossed her off Rosemary grinned as she landed on all fours before sword spinning above Cal swung low and she hopped up like a frog before grabbing her weapon handle and throwing it at him he jumped back from it and the weapons impact cracked the ground the heck Wares he tried to say before being tackled by Rosemary herself God she's like a beast Cal said as he kicked her away with little feeling of accomplishment Rosemary rolling before writing herself by her sword a grin on her lips gez what did you learn to fight from animals a bit Naruto chuckled as they went at it again she's pretty good for her own style he said as time raised a brow at Rosemary's animalistic acts she clawed at Cal's face shoulder charged at his stomach from an all fource position attacked with all her Limbs and more animal-like Behavior she's like an actual animal time observed it's rather surprising but kind of fits Naruto nodded as they returned to Sage and amarillis the latter gasping On the Floor Covering in sweat but looking slightly accomplished I caught one the short one said with a cheer as Naruto chuckled how many squirrels are around here anyway he asked an amarillis SAT up with a tilt of the head hum I think there's 20 she grinned viciously as he shot back a nervous one 20 targets I'm concerned Nar said with a shaky chuckle before turning to his not so murderous classmate how's it going Sage the girl opened one of her closed eyes an orb of fire covered on six sides by magical arrays in her hands well okay is everything all right she asked and Naruto rubbed the back of his head yeah I just needed to cool off that makes sense she said with her eye going back to him and then to her spell a and as you can see I'm using a small fire spell I I was able to make it into a small Fireball compared to its lighter like intent that's good Nar said as he crouched in front of her focusing on the energy quote dot dot dot your energy outputs pretty good but you're blocked by something why you can tell Sage gaped at him I it's like there's a barrier to how much I can push I can't break past it it might be a mental block time said and Sage shot her a grateful look when we're kids most elves do what Naruto does we use Magic from our bodies and cast spells that have been passed down from our ancestors it's embedded into our bodies the thing is there's going to be a block inside of you to keep you from pushing too far you might not know it but it's dangerous to just throw all of yourself into any kind of magic at least any magic similar to ours and old magic I don't know what it's like for people with teroser it's not that hard amarus said as she crossed her legs you just think and zap it's why it's so useful she emphasized to the chuckling Naruto and embarrassed Sage look at all the work you're doing right now when you could have done that with a terrasphere designed to use Fire Element spells h about that Snapdragon asked as he rolled over to them looking exhausted as parsley chuckled while walking over see can a person use more than one terrasphere I don't know that H yeah anyone can use any number of teros speres riy said with a tilt of her head the thing is you can't use like an infinite amount like whiskers said its mental commands are spiritual whatever the thing is you can't give separate commands to two teros speres you activate at the same time you're always giving the same command unless you're an ace magician and even guys like that can only do that with two huh I didn't know that parsley said as she looked at Naruto everything good she asked and he grinned with a nod yeah I just needed to chill for a bit wasn't doing myself any favors you know Naro said as the dwarf smiled glad things are good so how's the progress just then Rosemary came crashing into the ground by the group The pink-haired girl chuckling nervously as she coughed out some dust c c t that's my loss she told Cal who came came over gasping for breath she's a monster he complained before falling onto the ground ha ha God since when do girls hit like that uh yo parsley gestured to her hammer and Cal's eyebrow twitched at it without blunt weapons hey Rosemary sat up with a huff and pout what are you trying to say nothing just girls with monster strength aren't on my normal list hmph well you're not much better you've got strength that I didn't expect she said as Cal rolled his eyes yeah because I have a solid stance unlike someone he shot back as narut nodded while Snapdragon blinked come on it's not that hard to figure out quote dot dot dot right Snapdragon remembered with that kind of Leverage Rosemary it's no wonder he could handle all your blows despite how hard they are he said looking at the ruptured Earth a good bit away very heavy blows oh oh uh well she looked embarrassed Rosemary's mom tried teaching her normal swords woman ship Sage said Rosemary kind of got it but she never liked staying still like that receiving with a stance isn't her forte yeah my for she said as Naruto chuckled yep yep I mean it feels like I'm doing nothing why would I just wait there for someone to hit me it's not that simple numnuts there's an arc to blocking Cal said is Snap Dragon looked at his weapons and then Naruto's hell asked snap and Naruto they have shields he's got a point Nar said as he stood up of course Rosemary could honestly just have a different style to how she views combat can't forget that she just has a big sword and no Shield hmph I guess Cal Shrugged nonchalantly still she has no idea what it means to block I get the feeling she's going to get knocked the out if things come down to that W without the vulgarity please Sage asked and he popped up why yeah uh sorry H all right anyone want to go at me so I can show Rosemary Naro asked and parsley chuckled before nodding oh this is definitely going to be a good show of it watch Rosie to block doesn't mean you're just standing still Snapdragon sat up as Rosemary nodded sitting next to him along with the others as Naruto and parsley moved a bit away have you guys seen him fight before Rosemary asked the others H he helps teach me stuff with 10 hit spars Snapdragon admitted with a look of embarrassment emiris cackling as he rolled his eyes stop it Naruto's good at positioning and flexibility it's crazy how he can pull out power from all kinds of positions pause Callen RI said in unison as Snapdragon blinked and then he blushed why you guys come on he whined as they chuckled like lunatics I don't get it Rosemary said with crossed arms before looking at the blushing Sage du you w what no no no no no the non- teros spere having Mage shook her head rapidly As Time snorted a bit of red on her own cheeks I it's nothing I'm sure Naruto and parsley stood apart the blonde boy grinning as he held his blade down to his side and he kept his shield raised it's easy to understand narut said to snap and Rosie for me my shield smaller for a reason it's so I'm not weighed down by it and can move better with it he said as he nodded to parsley the dwarf girl grinning as she hefted her Hammer ready when you are she answered time do you think you could ref for us parsley asked as the elf nodded on the count of three time said to both who nodded 1 2 3 Naruto lunged into parsa's personal space in a single leap shocking her in time while Cal nodded his sword came around and the blacksmith barely brought her Hammer around to lock their weapons together even with the awkward swing paress strength far out stripped Naruto's own and they stalemated but the boy didn't stop didn't hesitate he pressed down on their weapons before dragging their Clash around body slipping behind parcas with a better understanding of his speed the blacksmith swung back with her left fist slamming into his raised Shield he was sent skidding back weapon out of hand hey he grinned as parsley began to charge him she swung and he raised his shield on contact Naruto rotated around before kicking parsley away the dwarf rolling before she recovered with her weapon digging into the ground she looked up to see a foot parsley barely blocked it with her Hammer's shaft the force in the kick enough to send her back a few feet blue eyes widened as she jumped back Naruto's sword slamming into the ground below and carving through it then he stepped Ste and past it and dragged it forward and up from the ground crooked Blade the others whistled at an angling sword slash that seemed to gleam in the air for a mere moment Parsley was sent flying back too much to their surprise that was cool Cal grinned as Snapdragon Rosemary and amarillis nodded is it magic quote dot dot dot nope Rosemary blinked before shaking her head confusing the others that's was pure strength I've been around is Magic enough to know what it feels like R really I I mean Snap Dragon scratched his chin and Nar did lift her Hammer he reminded them as Cal shivered so it's not impossible still why is he mixed between courses Cal asked with a curious frown I mean make the most of all of it but he could just learn it after the academy huh wait what do you mean Rosemary asked as Sage piped up well I mean why wouldn't people use magic regardless the small Mage said as Cal and time nodded you guys might know more than I do it's mostly just common sense time said of course there are people who don't learn magic so much as get magical equipment I think Professor hakone is one of the few who don't use magic in any capacity hum no not really Cal said with a thoughtful hum surprising time he's literally one of the strongest in the world in Marshall combat he's no good at Magic but he does have magic items like his Thunder and Ice he grinned viciously as amarillis looked excited there his great sword and Gauntlet oh I guess he's where Naruto learned his swordsmanship Snapdragon said though nark weapon isn't any bigger than a longword they watched the boy's weapon swing with golden arcs that parsley barely blocked but she was catching up Naruto grinned as she swung back before he stepped down onto her weapon and her eyes widened as his weapon found itself at her neck and it's over Cal Shrugged as Sage hunk well narut is on the Warrior's course for a reason she said as the two came over you got my drift about shields Rosie Naruto asked the rosette who nodded with a grin yeah well I don't know if I'd still want to use one though she chuckled nervously that's fine you just need to understand how to block with your sword itself yeah oh wait right I can do that she realized with a grin as she got up hit me with what you got narut smirked as he jumped back then bring it Rosemary didn't hesitate to Lunge at him spats flowing under her skirt damn it Cal whispered as Snapdragon blinked at him while amarus rolled her eyes No Remorse huh she asked and her fellow grapehead Shrugged I mean it's a skirt the other girls blinked before growling or blushing at his words Cal he flinched welp said that one out loud Snapdragon blushed a bit come on he face bombed nrk with their everything hours over an hour later the group got cleaned up in their dorms before heading towards their next classes Naruto Snapdragon Cal Rosemary and parsley found themselves in gym clothes if you'd believe it a dark blue tunic a white undershirt blue shorts and dark brown boots with his father as their instructor with a large cage next to him hakone smiled at them all in a blue GI with black martial artist Flats on in a black tank top beneath the Loosely tied robe Top Welcome all of you he said with a smile as narut nodded I hope you all can enjoy the courses I'll be handling for you all for a good idea of what will happen we'll be switching every other week between the efforts of combat and exploration the group of students nodded this week wek be focusing on the former he asked them today wek be handling things a bit differently from how I used to do things from my previous years as an instructor in the weeks following this one we'll be getting help from several of the other instructors at High Guardian Academy they've come to like a bit of combat and seem eager to help they all looked excited so what wek be learning how to apply magical fighting and stuff early Cal asked and hakone nodded oh huh didn't expect that and those same ones will help during exploration weeks as well showing you possible ways to apply different effects of combat to navigation but as I said that begins the following week for now let's ask some questions for one does anyone have any martial art experience Cal Naruto and a few others raised their hands good I'm not surprised by a few of you hakone nodded to Cal and Naruto but it's good to see many of you have dabbled a bit now in that case let's see how you all fair yes he said as he pulled on some rope by his feet and the group blinked as a large circular pen came out of the forest and in it a large number of baby dragons they were about the size of a big box being mainly orange with cream colored underbellies they had small spikes along their backs down to their decently long tails they all had two small Wings fin-like ears two horns on their foreheads and red marks around their eyes that reminded Naruto of sage Mode's own markings wao no way they're so cute vicious dragons Rosemary realized with shining eyes as Snapdragon chuckled a bit he how's it feel to see some family she asked him slightly with elbow nudges the ginger chuckling a bit more they're certainly better looking he said with a grin as the group laughed him for today wek be trying to wrestle the baby dragons into this cage hakone said and the group of students Jaws dropped I told you magical fighting is a bit more than you think it also includes fighting magical creatures now who's going first we'll give all of you five minutes we can try with three people at the same time and give you all 10 minutes or we can do one at a time for 5 minutes I'm fine with either Naruto said with a grin as he stepped up along with rosemary and parsley I wouldn't mind a bit more time parsley admitted I'm ready to grab that Dragon Rosemary said that's what she said Cal shouted out and the class laughed while Snapdragon blushed H hey I did just say that Rosemary pouted as they laughed harder hm pH Naruto chuckled nervously while parsley followed suit hakone chuckled now letun release three shall we he said as he walked over to the pen and plucked Three Dragons out with ease one resting on his shoulder while two others were underarm all right you three you have to give them hell hakone said to the baby dragons as he put them on the ground the three paying attention to himall right spread out the babies did waddling over in three directions as the students followed suit are we all ready yep Naruto said as he and the baby dragon locked eyes the magical being snorted fire I'm going to catch y'all all parsley said with a chuckle at the dragon I deal with flames like yours almost every day the dragon made a wah sound and she chuckled I'm ready to bring this baby down Rosemary said with a grin as she wiggled her fingers her Dragon snorting at her and turning its head H hey come on let's be friends then the 10 minutes begin now hakone said with a pocket watch button pressed in his hand the three students approached in their own way Naruto grinned before nodding to the dragon and walking over to the growling reptile he sat down in front of it and the dragon huffed out fire how YW doing he asked it and the dragon made another wah noise yeah I get it its tail wagged parsley chuckled before she and the dragon circled one another I know what it's like y know short stack and all that she said to her opponent whose tail raised and wagged while its wings flagged they lunged in unison and the small blacksmith's hands locked with its front paws the girl grinning as she pushed back on the shocked Dragon I've got more than enough Brothers to handle a baby like you Rosemary lunged for her dragon and the two of them went rolling as fire spat out of the tumbling ball at random intervals W waa she shrieked as they slammed into a tree before separating into other trees the two ending up upside down ow Rosemary said with a huff before getting back onto her feet letun do this she lunged again and the creature roared in its baby like form before whipping out its rather long tail waoa Rosemary was flung out of the forest and rolled into a kneel as her opponent came rushing out with all the speed of a slow tractor she then had an idea oh Rosemary grinned back with Naruto the boy chuckled as he lifted up the baby dragon and carried the calm Beast into the cage well done hakone said with a chuckle as the blonde nodded it's important to note like in all of your ethics classes you don't need to just fight your opponent you can talk work out your differences and find a path to understanding that will allow both of you to win Snapdragon nodded while Cal groaned it's a dragon he said as the ginger Shrugged well a baby still they likely don't know anything yet the taller boy said as calside almost got it parsley said as she wrangled hers with a grin spinning around with the baby dragon at high speeds almost there the dragon's eyes began to swirl and the dwarf grinned as she came to a stop chuckling as she carried it over her head and gently placed it inside the cage and done she said as Naruto chuckled his baby dragon reassuring The Dizzy one that was pareless he sorry fellow little guy had to give YW the spin and dou in treatment same one you use on your brothers Naruto asked yep I have got o Rosemary began to say only to be hip checked by her Dragon into a roll that left her dizzy W did anyone get the hitbox on that baby it felt kind of ridiculous a she hit the floor on her back can I take this as your loss hakone asked as walked over and looked at her dizzy face I'll take that as a yes next parsley helped Rosemary back to their friends the boy nodding to Cal who was getting up with Snapdragon I'm going to handle this with as much diplomacy as possible he said with a smirk and Naruto began to feel nervous don't abuse the baby dragons please he said they're still dragons he didn't like that snap please be nice to the baby dragon Snap Dragon chuckled nervously as he looked at them I think it should be the other way around Naruto Pat his back with a sagely nod that made the taller boy nervous they and one other boy went forward one who looked similar to wait that kid looks like Cal narut said with a tilt of the head he was short and looked like an actual kid here what with his bigger eyes and roundish cheeks he had dark skin like th and hakone but his eyes were pink like cows along with him having the same dark purple hair but his was shorter and puffier come oh I think that kid is named Parnell parsley said as they sat down the dwarf settling Rosemary onto the floor with a chuckle and you're right he and Cal do look alike the trio of boys was given their dragons Snap Dragon getting Rosemary's previous one start hakone said Snap Dragon swallowed before raising his hands towards the rather mean looking Dragon H hey we can be friends right he said to it the baby dragon snorting out fire oh I think I made a mistake akake he probably should have let Cal get this one okay oh okay he stealed his confidence as he looked at it come on let's go inside think about it all the free food you get when you're finished he said to it as it perked up why yeah I mean you get to relax and don't have to do all this work the dragon seemed to be considering it its fin ears flicking a bit exactly snap smiled with a gesture at the cage come on I might be able to ask the professor he turned his head with a pleading smile at hakone who laughed to give you some bit of food the baby waddled over to the cage and the man chuckled before passing Snapdragon a dried meat Cube the boy smiled as the Dragon's Tail wagged see we've got oh my God he tried to say before being tackled by the baby ah a little coercion isn't a bad plan their professor said as the baby dragon waddled into the cage looking satisfied as Snapdragon groaned on the ground hm pH Cal said as he walked over with the dragon over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes face filled with some scratches and smoke but the boy looked Victorious as he put the baby dragon inside said dragon having a few bumps on its own head e easy why yeah it was the boy Carnell said as he came over on his Dragon's Back Cal groaning H Hey cuz right the teen said as he gestured to the cage just put your baby in there baby harnell pouted as he walked the baby dragon in Naruto coming over and throwing Snapdragon over his shoulder good work that's six down who's next hakone asked nrk narut stretched as he walked to his next class new magic protocols he blinked as he found sage and amarillis by the door Su you too how was potion making horrible they said in unison and he chuckled nervously she tried to poison us oh narut grinned shakily so uh you survived du amarus said with a huff before gesturing to the blushing Sage thanks to old magic wonder over here unfortunately you made an antidote he asked impressed why yeah well I just figured out the specific components she had on the boy Sage admitted with red cheeks I was just lucky she gave us textbooks hey it's not like it's not cool God we boys supposed to be so nice of course her father was nice but he was different yes um thanks no problem narut nodded before looking at their classroom I know I'm going to tank here he said as the two remembered his condition unless it's just knowing rules and stuff I'll only slightly tank I want to watch you crash and burn amarus said with a growing grin as Sage sweat dropped come on I've got my energy back great the blue-haired girl said as she and Naruto walked into the classroom quote dot dot dot our teacher a centur sage said in awe she looked like an aristocrat what with her long high collar light blue coat vest and ribbon tie her hair was long pale yellow and set into a neat ponytail while framing her face her skin was white while her lower horse half was a muted yellow with a similar colored tail to her hair Maine the board behind her was clean as they all walked in the three sitting beside one another this time Nar sat at the end to give himself more lroom by the stairs in this Amphitheater likee room welcome welcome even her voice seemed Posh I welcome you all to our class new magic protocols I'm Professor B Laurel my class is not one to slack in do not let me catch you sleeping daydreaming or so much as drawing on your work items or there will be a harsh punishment why yes ma'am yes Professor yes Professor good she said as she surveyed them all eyes landing on Naruto with interest quote dot dot dot in this course you're going to learn the ins and outs of using magic within specific percentages of areas you all should know by now but for the sake of clarification new magic meaning terros speres are quickly applicable to most any individual a random peasant could overthrow a magician with a terrasphere if given the right time of day or Ambush let me ask a question question all of you have you ever noticed there seems to be a difference in the strength of all new magic H amarillis perked up um yeah she said I mean my teros speres don't really do too much she added allowing the silver wand to form out of it a curling silver cord with a tip that surrounded her forearm and ended in her hand with a long wand like End plus this isn't what all teroser do good a good example in showing of a weaker terrasphere the group blinked wait I mean it makes sense Nar said not all forms of magic are the same level as is yeah so it' make sense for new magic to be the same applying old magic logic isn't wrong but it's not the same there aren't nearly as many limitations to using teros speres and that's why you won't see them in normal stores the only places where one can get a terrasphere in higher quality areas you need to purchase them from all known vendors and despite our rocky relationship which country doesn't offer the recipe for them to anyone outside of the country as xenophobic as it sounds it actually makes our lives easier in that we'll know few individuals not in the purchasing registry aren't from here huh turn their selfishness against themselves Sage asked the professor smirked exactly though to be fair it's not wrong to want to keep a special resource to oneself now with that knowledge do you understand why not everyone has a teros spere despite its ease of use the class nodded all right letun talk about the laws of lingar and our lands of Scarboro at large she said from here on out understand these laws are Ironclad anyone caught breaking them isn't going to get off easily no matter what title they bear Naruto rested his chin on his crossed arms while amarus rested her cheek on her fist and Sage brought out a notebook an hour later their teacher nodded to them there's a big deterrent to using most old magic nowadays sadly it's becoming increasingly difficult to make a law surrounding it meanwhile using teros speres are easier to account for in the future we might very well never need old magic anymore sage and Naruto frowned at that while amarilla Shrugged you two need to get with the times the purple-haired girl said as they packed up Naro you're different but Pebble child over their needs to realize everyone doesn't care Naruto rubbed the back of his head as Sage side amarus rubbing the back of her head quote dot dot dot I I know I do Sage said as the other girl didn't look at her quote dot dot dot even in most Villages I think Pebbles probably one of the few with old magic is the biggest expertise there why yeah well emirus looked away as they walked out nutk eyes softened come on you guys already made your vows right he said said with a grin as they blinked before paling and he sweat dropped why you guys we need to hurry Sage screeched nrk as it turns out most of their friends hadn't remembered time went last to say her guardian vows as the other freshman came into the room along with the Triad just in time Sage said with a hand to her chest in relief I'd not been thinking about it for a long time she added as Rosemary chuckled I'm surprised you had the time it was while we were passing by to get to our maintenance class she said with a grin we lued out Snapdragon said with a sigh of relief I'm glad to see everyone got to do their vows in time mature Triad said with a smile as the three of them came down towards the well you showed great promise all of you did some of them could have used work but well that's why they're here Elder Triad said open minds young ones that's what you need the road ahead isn't a straight path there's no easy shortcut for any part of it young Triad said as the three of them stood by the well but I know you all can do it you've shown great variety among you a willingness to learn to fight to protect mature Triad finished for them with a smile all parts are important just like your vows she said as the well began to Glow quote dot dot dot w wait she's not showing it is she Rosemary wilted with glowing red cheeks as Sage blushed along with her no no no no no the three raised their hands and three lights in the ceiling blowed brightly before triangulating beams shot out to meet in the middle between them the wells glow increased before it shot up blue energy that met the light Z we'd like you all to view some of the most interesting vows we've had since the beginning mature Triad said with a smile as many students blushed or paled what appeared in the clashing Powers was a face of a familiar boy Cal snorted as a guardian I swear to uphold my family name to protect my kingdom and land like many before I have to take tradition to heart to bring my enemies to kneel and to protect my bloodline you're really proud of your family Naro said with his arms folded behind his head with a grin hehe must be cool Cal smirked before he glowed purple much to the group's confusion then they saw a familiar whiskered individual sage and time wondering what had come of nut vow his body glowing gold and red I vow to protect the balance of the world itself I seek to make sure balance is maintained to see peace in the world that I've lived in I won't let my past ruin my future and whether it's any person any country anything I'll seek a true resolution to it all Naro smiled sadly at that Sage looking confused I won't let my past ruin my future what did that mean what had happened to him then they saw Rosemary the girl blushing a Snapdragon chuckled I promise to uphold what's right and wrong like my mother used to I vow to seek all forms of adventure maybe I'll find a super special sword like my mom's I don't know but I think that there's always something great out in the world and I'll find it loyalty bravery courage and heart I'm going to learn it all H it's not the worst vow time said as Rosemary pulled on her pigtails to hide from her smirk oh they are Shields um Rosie shouted into her hair as she glowed bright pink direct and diplomatic in the toughest situations My Vow is to push for the truth of the World At Large and rid it of Lies H Naruto raised a brow at the glowing red girl a bit away as that someone we know they looked and then looked at Cal quote dot dot dot what he said before blinking oh well I don't think I know her actually no her father's a judge in the high court that's right her name is mint mint was a girl with tan skin red eyes well- combed black hair and glasses she was a bit tall around Cal and nut's height while looking like a thin girl oh wait isn't she from our last class amarillis said as the girl crossed her arms and adjusted her glasses total nerd look but she's got a bit of fire in her look at that small mullet several others played before it reached parsley the girl self glowing yellow with a grin as a guardian I want to travel the world and find the greatest of magical items and weapons to protect those sacred items and learn the ins and outs of the world's best items and equipment I vow to protect families and the connections within them lest I fall into despair very big on family Snapdragon said as his hand rubbed his neck parsly chuckling I've got a big one I don't want to see any one of them hurt the dwarf said with a grin as Naruto threw a thumbs up before the ginger began to glow orange I I want to live my own life with fortitude and honor to protect those who live in my home my Village and my country I it's not something I think I'm great at yet but I want to live up to those expectations and you will harsley said as Snapdragon blushed while amarillis grinned wildly form glowing purple hmph I vow to leave a legacy Beyond legacies to own the world through my image and make all who look upon me quiver with awe and fear I vow to never become some useless hag that's certainly you Cal said with a shaky grin as RI grinned smugly then Sage lit up in blue and blushed bright enough to look part red like a popsicle I believe that we all have some form of greatness within us a and it's right to say that I want to protect the old ways the prominent Traditions the powerful spells and those ways that lead to happy lives I vow to protect the world of those traditions and Reach For Greater Heights of power to do so he he he well said Sage Rosemary said as she opened up her fluff Fortress to show her grin Sage blushing some more before nodding and the last is I vow to live in honor and to be self-reliant I won't allow myself weakness that I can't solve and see through to the end I vow to protect my home the people I meet the places I travel all in the name of keeping the world as healthy as possible time h with a small blush as she glowed green the others chuckling you've all come forth and shown your truest selves mature Triad said with a chuckle beautiful mostly pure Souls with big wishes and goals that all Return To The World At Large hm pH I guess you all aren't so bad Elder Triad said with a smirk you'll learn much Within These Walls and grow to become Grand Guardians young Triad said as mature Triad nodded the three of them standing on three sides of the well but let's show you what a full Guardian vow will entail I swear by the power of the sky the Earth the sea and stars to protect these lands from within mature Triad started as the well pulst I promise balance to keep history alive and to never be restrained by its past grudges Wars pain and destruction young Triad added as another pulse joined the first I vow to remain curious and engaged to look at the world with a questioning eye I shall use my agility to protect what is precious even if it brings about my own end to honor all that came before and those who come after adding my name to the legacy of Courage that my title imparts I honor my name my family and my one true self my multitudes if I break this oath my cowardice greed sloth or willful ignorance may I be cast upon the stones my sword broken and my name erased this I vow the well flowed into nothingness the Triad nodding to it as their bodies glowed white before everyone's glow slipped away from them and swirled in the air above forming a ball of white before dispersing what was that Snapdragon asked and Cal answered with crossed arms you guys don't really understand what a vow is do you he asked and the group shook their heads save for Naruto and rosemary a vow is basically how you call upon your greatest power the foxy blonde said it's the connection between you your abilities the world and your soul itself mom always called vows the living focus of your powers Rosemary said with a look up at the ceiling she said that breaking your vow to the world is almost as bad as well not being a guardian like it stripped from you but worse vows are powerful especially when you enact them Cal said with a grin and those who live up to their vows to the utmost become the most powerful of Guardians so no matter what you should follow your dreams and ideals Naruto added to follow that road protect the world and fight off evil yeah Rosemary gr we're a team now hauh team Cal looked hesitant on that don't know about that my family only formed teams with the top scores I I mean well you won't know until we get our first grades right Snapdragon said as the other boy looked down and thought before sighing okay fine you all better keep your grades at least decent that's some kind of motivation time said hm come on we all have the same last class vow learning the group said in unison nrk this time the classroom was like Naruto's previous class an Amphitheater like classroom the group sat on two rows near the front Sage Snapdragon amarillis and Cal at the lower one while Rosemary Naruto parsley and time sat above them walking into the room the group blinked at the Triad within hauh Naruto blinked wait you guys are teaching this class he asked well mostly two of us at a time mature Triad said with a smile vow learning is an important class for your development and we're the ones who handle the vows best in High Guardian Academy so we're going to learn how to power up with vows right Cal asked in the class looked confused it's not just a saying y know correct Plum boy Elder Triad said with a laugh as Cal choked while the others laughed you all will be learning how to apply your vows these are important things so shut up and listen why yes well for today we're going to practice using them vows as a whole do increase one's capabilities but that's not as cut and dry as it sounds mature Triad said it's true young Triad said some will raise your strength others your defenses others your intelligence and so on though usually it relies on someone's personal affinities so we'll gain an appropriate increase time asked he he maybe maybe not the thing with vows is that you can't just call on them all of a sudden and even then as we said you'll probably get one for your personal affinities and you might not know it Elder Triad said with a grin as the group blinked wait what Snapdragon looked confused I I don't understand quote dot dot dot oh Naruto spoke up gaining the class's attention so it' be like say snap learning he might be good at Magic the Triad grinned yep yes though your thinking is a bit too narrow mature Triad said with a chuckle as Naruto blinked you can find out you have an affinity for magic you could find you have an affinity for thrusting weapons you could find out that you might have an affinity for the Arts and so on there there aren't many who come into these walls and remain with the same vows they came in with during their first days wait so you're saying we could end up with no fighting Cal said in horror as amarillis cackled I'd still go for my wand she declared destruction is for everyone she's got Spirit Elder Triad said with a grin as her fellow versions chuckled nervously so for now we'll be testing your vows strength and possible effects she added as she stamped her cane twice in front of the class four large ballet likee voting booths appeared the group blinking at the oddness for now your vows and their effects will be private young Triad said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes as she looked in Naruto's general direction let's start all right Naruto grinned a bit nervously time looking at him out of the corner of her eye before focusing back on the boxes the AA front row friends went first Cal Sage Snapdragon and marilus they were inside there for a couple minutes before coming out with differing Expressions Cal didn't look bothered in the least Amarilis looked stoic Snapdragon looked relieved and Sage Sage looked like she'd zoned out with the four coming back Naruto's four-person row went up next the fox boy leading the way with rosemary the girl looking back at Sage with a look of concern narut nodded to her she'll be fine besides you can ask her after class right he said and she smiled at him with a nod all right take it easy and there she said as the four went inside their boxes Naruto frowned as he saw the crystal ball inside and saw the hand imprint within it taking a deep breath before reaching out to place his hand into it the orb glowed gold before it bore a single dark red dot in the middle of it getting a Grimace from the boy his vow appeared in the air along with anothers the boy's face grew neutral if not a bit saddened before he blinked at the sight of Elder Triad passing through the back of his booth in front of him HHA she pressed her fingers to her lips and looked at the results of his checking with a frown so even this was affected she asked Him Softly and the fox boy's eyes went downward now none of that the fact that you have both only means it's affecting you not taking over anything then the boy and old woman saw a series of words passing below the vows constantly coming in and out of existence like faded me memories peacebringer Beast of lust Naruto's eyes widened as his tail bristled before Elder Triad side and shot him a look another phrase surprisingly shot up cursed child Naruto's eyes darkened a bit and the old member of the Triad slipped back out her fellow Triad members looking concerned as she frowned a mental link formed and she conveyed it all that's horrible young Triad said with a Grimace before blushing w Wait what does that title mean she thought in horror sadly things I don't want to consider mature Triad said with a dark frown things that shouldn't be happening to a child we've seen it all the clues are there Elder Triad said with a face of neutrality young one you can figure out what's going on with this one the young member of the three looked worried W what's that supposed to mean neither of the other two said anything simply looking back at the booths and not answering her question Naro meanwhile sigh as he looked at his title some more before removing his hand and walking out wincing as he found himself last he hurried back to his seat with a look of concentration that concerned the others everything all right parsley asked him in the boy side not really just didn't expect what I saw he admitted before resting his head in his arms I'll figure it out Cal Amarilis sage and parsley nodded while time snapped dragon and rosemary looked at him in concern we can tell each other ours if you want the ginger suggested in nutk tale was all that flinched only in parsa's Vision at his words s sure I don't mind back in the dorms I guess the blonde boy grinned Rosemary's eyes went to his tail and the blond's expression why is he lying well not lying in the way many understood he didn't want to speak about their vows effects or really just his Rosemary was confused on why he'd not say it UPF front the rest of the class went up and in 30 minutes in total they were all done two clicks of a Cane had the boxes disappearing leaving the Triad smiling there fake Smiles that none of the students could really pick up on save for one male blonde for this class we'll meet every Monday and Friday Mondays in the evening like now and Fridays in the morning on your short days Elder Triad said right now we'll be cutting class early focus on what your vows revealed to yourselves but don't become too engrossed in them vow effects can change young Triad said cheek twitching T that is as you mature you'll become better versions of yourselves vows can ascertain that fact hmph get out go away you all can tour the campus again if you want just know no running off campus without permission Elder Triad said as the groups of students began to leave Naro side getting up and following the others with dark thoughts a Shining Soul like yours needs to be tended to extensively his fists jammed themselves into his pockets and clenched and the group shivered as he walked ahead of them is something wrong Sage asked Rosemary who frowned I don't know Naruto hasn't said anything but he's all grumpy the rosette said I I don't think he's ever felt so cold before he's usually really sunny he seems to be focused on the result of what happened Snapdragon said as parsley and time nodded do you think he wants to tell us his results he asked nervously he might not want to time said it's not like we have to I don't care about saying mine I don't really want to say mine amarus said and the group looked surprised the girl's face remaining stoic I'm serious do not bother me pores she threw in before walking off quote Dot dot dot I'll go and handle her Snapdragon said before taking one more look at Naruto the boy didn't even look like he'd noticed amarillis leaving I think he needs some help seriously he hurried after Amarilis catching up and not saying anything to her simply walking by her side time and parsley nodded we'll handle Naruto then I think Sage needs your help as well the elf said as Sage flinched and no no no it's nothing the small Mage said in horror I I get it I do I'm not freaking out Jay just a bit confused H Naruto turned around and the five sweat dropped at his look of confusion w Wait when did snap and riy leave he choked his time side before walking past him come on she said grabbing his collar as he froze like a Scruff grabbed kitten don't be a baby time said minding his skin pars wek get him back to normal promise the dwarf said to the others with a nod coming that's what she cal made to say but Rosemary elbowed him Huff got it nrk Naruto grunted with a Flinch as time deposited him by some bushes the boy sighing I'm not fine harsley said with crossed arms as he winced quote dot dot dot I don't know what you in time talked about but I get the feeling this is connected to it and some other things she sighed rubbing the back of her head I know you're probably going to say no but are you sure you don't want to talk about it you guys have a good enough idea as is Naruto winced at his own words while the two frowned time wearing a dark look that he looked away from quote dot dot dot it's not it's a big secret I can't just tell you I'm not asking you to tell me the whole truth or anything promise harsley said Softly As She and time sat next to him the three looking out at the lowering sun it's just you are far different today than you've ever been since we've known you which isn't a long time but you make a big impression quote dot dot dot I'm sorry I mean it Naruto pulled up his knees and rested his arms on them it's I'm not going to say what it said I really can't ignoring that one of the three things I was shown wasn't great he blushed a bit but I can tell you they're not I know the reason for all of them and I hate the last two three I got three two harsley said as he shot her a weird look yep yep magical Miner grandiose blacksmith and family Unity it was weird she looked embarrassed a and I love my family no question it's a bit complicated no problem I get complicated he he what about you time want to share quote dot dot dot I only had three time said as she crossed her arms a bit embarrassed quote dot dot dot lover of family is one of them she admitted with red cheeks as the two blinked before grinning sounds awesome she rolled her eyes Forest protector and worldly woman are the others time finished their Curious titles I guess exploring is in my soul sounds like you have a ton of Adventures ahead of you parsley said I think all of us do at least the three of us though I'm sure Rosie sage and snap will end up adventurers too Cal and RI do see like they have goals that don't need them to Adventure a lot harsley said with a hum a protector of lingar and someone who wants to leave a legacy basically have a good family I can see they likely won't stay on the road like most of us probably will to be honest being on the road all the time would likely get tiring time said as the wind picked up I know I wouldn't hate it but it'll probably get tiring and lonely Naro said as parsley nodded while time tucked in on herself quote dot dot dot I'm willing to say one of the titles I got is peacebringer he admitted and the two blinked I mean it certainly matches up with my vow and you as a person harsley chuckled as he chuckled in embarrassment still that's a way big order no offense I don't see that going well for quite a bit I mean lingard's a pretty cool way of seeing things Naruto said as the two hunged all the races all kinds of people all sorts of shops trades skills and protectors we've got a bit of everything a Utopia isn't the goal I'd think yeah I think going around the world and helping people that's all I'd really need to stay true to my path he glowed a soft gold and the two girls blinked at that huh I guess that's one way of reaffirming it time said as she closed her eyes likely believing with all of your heart that's what makes a vow important she said Softly As She glowed a bit as well parsley chuckling she followed suit Honestly though it's kind of Gody the blondes laughed while a cat watched from above her eyes narrowing slowly and on the blonde boy nrk resting in a pair of orange shorts and a white shirt with a wide collar Naruto chuckled as the others played cards in his and cow's room on their beds the fox boy sitting on the windowsill by time yes amarillis grinned viciously in her purple sweatpants and white bare shoulder shirt while Sage scrambled to find a card to win her dark magenta night gown shuffling as her head fell I remain victorious she declared as the blue Mage cried crocodile tears I I lost hmph I thought that thing didn't need maintenance Cal said as he rosemary parsley and Snapdragon cleaned their weapons I mean it's literally supposed to be unbreakable yeah but that doesn't mean I want to just keep throwing it into things Rosemary said as his face went flat the girl giggling nervously in her pink pajama top and shorts while Cal shook his head gray muscle shirt and purple pajama pants held away from his cleaning supplies H hey that's why I got to keep this baby clean right it's not like her style isn't effective right Snapdragon asked wearing red pajamas axe Edge being cleaned carefully I it's not like it doesn't deserve to get clean either he said with a small hiss washing the edge of his weapon carefully snaps right Cal harsley said as she looked at her Hammer before cleaning the Ginger's shield with practiced hands it's not just because it's unbreakable that you let it get dirty the dwarf remarked wearing a white tank top and orange pajama pants with gray socks eh the purple-haired boy Shrugged eyes on the females honestly gez she is kind of stacked he thought pervertedly but kept his expression neutral in a room with girls willingly being around wasn't really new to him he wasn't like the two virgin wonders over there but he knew how how to appreciate the opportunity when he could still it's pretty obvious someone has hots for certain types Cal thought as his eyes went to Naruto he's always around those two it's almost like he's got them both into it he wasn't an idiot time dressed in a green tunic with black spats showing her nice long legs was even checking him out the elf did it discreetly of course but Cal could sense U frustration from a mile away well that an attraction he'd tell you the tall girl kept looking at the blond's clavicle like it was the most interesting part and with what the boy knew about the clavicle he knew that looking at it made you think about the Torso beneath so she was checking out the blond's pecs of course geez it's like he doesn't even try the mace user thought as he finished up still better than Snappy over here it wasn't like he disliked the other boy it's just that he didn't like him either Snapdragon Fe confused Cal on a primal level but his voice his slight mannerisms and thin limbs made it worse the guy's mindset helped offset that along with Naruto's willful assistance to help him but Cal just felt like there was something off about him well for now he had some girls to view time grunted Softly As Naruto read that Adventure book she'd lent him he's so defenseless she thought even as her cheeks rened the elf hiding her face behind her book some more as she leaned back more God calm down she wasn't some lch like Cal was she was not ogling some boy's clavicle like it had the answers to the universe of course not okay sure Naruto harsley and amarillis had Nic looking clavicles it didn't mean she was hyperfocused on them she groaned a bit and Naruto looked up at her with those shining eyes that made him look like the innocent animal she had a horrifying feeling he sadly wasn't not because of him mind you but because of what might have happened to him time was certainly not an idiot the others even went on to call her sage and Snapdragon the smarties so when she put things together despite how horrifying that image was she knew it held a hint of Truth in it Naro had likely been assaulted by a female witch she was sadly sure of and that witch was likely still alive she frowned at her book you all right he asked her in time side just annoyed by this character she said and he nodded I can get that sometimes you just don't know what they're thinking he grunted with an annoyed face like I read a horror book once on accident and I was more bothered by how stupid some of those characters were than scared time raised a brow at that quote dot dot dot let me take a shot the horror of mold Bush how do you know he looked shocked as she smirked I've read the book I heard it was supposed to be funny despite it being a horror book book it was funny I won't lie but I can say it wasn't trying to be funny Nar laughed at that God I don't think people realize what real people act like in those kinds of situations she was curious about that too after all Nar seemed far too strong to be some normal victim nrk night came and Naro found himself in a light sleep the others having left 2 hours ago back to their own rooms single quote dot dot dot they noticed without me noticing he said mentally I should I just tell them from what he knew they hadn't freaked the hell out or anything no crazy theories shark jumping ideas or even spilling of his secret time parsley and Snapdragon seemed like true blue comrades and they had only met last week his face relaxed and he turned in his bed snoring softly smiling as he held his warm furry pillow the black cat nuzzled in and went to sleep Naruto frowned at the cool feeling on his face eyes creaking open to see just his pillow huh I feel a bit colder he didn't know what was up but he guessed his pillow had been in a perfect position and now wasn't time looking at the clock by Cal's bed he saw 6:30 on its face the blonde hummed as he got up feeling great like always I honestly should just keep meditating when I sleep he always felt great after and his body body felt revitalized an hour later and the entire group of eight were walking to the school Rosemary and amarillis looking tired still H let me get my beauty sleep do you know how much planning I had to do yesterday to wake up the short purple haired girl grumbled as Snapdragon chuckled it's food I know how you were in the morning coffee and bread rolls the ginger said sacredly as she perked up see coffee H how do you guys do it Rosemary said with a look of death I'm sore all over and you guys walk like you don't feel pain she whed as Naruto chuckled Snapdragon smiling nervously I I got used to it the smart redhead said when you feel that way almost the entire week it just passes at some point well that in time small healing spell which is Awesome by the way parsley grinned As Time blushed a bit Naruto grinning all the while it's not some refresh stamina skill but it's good for what it does hm perhaps you all should learn some healing spells time said I'd love to do that but I don't even know any spell books like that Naro admitted and Sage tilted her head I might have some of those maybe Sage frowned it's just I didn't bring everything with me to hga I left a lot of books back home in Pebble hmph we'll just have to go back on break and NAB some Rosemary said as amarillis hung can't you just go to a magic Library she asked and the group blinked at her the short girl freezing before coughing into her fist I I mean those exist don't they wait they do Naruto said in shock well it's not that they don't time said as Sage nodded it's just with the Advent of new magic most libraries which used to carry all forms of old magic likely stowed them away since not many people use them the blue-haired girl said with a sigh before linking at nutk grin what are you smiling about well if they don't want them why don't we take them he asked with a wider grin as the two blinked in shock if they just want to waste all that good stuff might as well donate it to a good cause hell I bet Professor caroway could probably give us some books or even get us in on that kind of stuff he seems like the Booky type hmph you don't know if those spells are even outdated Cal said a Snapdragon hump well it' still be more than narut knows wouldn't it he offered and Cal Shrugged so you're going to head to the nearest library parsley asked him and Naruto nodded yep well when we can he said I asked Dad yesterday and he told me we won't be allowed to really leave until our first month of training is up Naruto explained though he could get me to go out there once a week if we're lucky sounds like a plan nrk the days passed by end soon enough the group had gotten through their first week of hga and with that came their newest activity on Monday afternoon the eight standing in the Rotunda with wyna again now we'll be having you all decide where your exploration trips will be the demonist said as she snapped her fingers the group of students glowing their vow colors declare your destination and you'll be tied to it via your vow destinations can't be changed until the next time you get to explore which is every other week hmph nark eyes narrowed as he looked at the four choices again Demon World he said and his gold colors shifted over to that portal creating a small Gold Dot oh we've got some Brave Young students the teacher grinned anyone else Demon World came another call and Naruto's eyes widened along with everyone else's as parsley put her hands on her hips grinning as her yellow glow went up and stood next to his gold one there pretty easy pars her friend group said with shock as the dwarf chuckled the hell Oh I thought you Naruto began to say but parsley shot him a look that caused him to blush you um yeah you think I'm just doing this so you won't be all grumpy and lonely she asked him and the boy grumbled exactly duh remember magical sword I did some studying and learned that there are several levels to magical weapons flowering Thorn over there is a mid-grade magical sword demons and highlevel magical creatures Wells can form high-grade swords I want to know what's going on wait really Rosemary boed at her weapon on her back CH that means nothing flowering Thorn you're perfect the way you are so you're going to go and learn demon language wyver asked as parsley chuckled nervously I mean I guess that means it's a big part of making those swords she asked and the demonist chuckled yes then I'm going parsley said with a look of excitement while Naruto sweat dropped come on we said we were going to make a big old magic sword quote dot dot dot why yeah yeah Naruto rubbed the back of his neck with a chuckle I guess this is a big part of it especially since demons can create hexes and curses anti curses is certainly an interesting idea wyna said thanks the two said oh man Rosemary looked nervous w what place should I go to should we go maybe I'll see demon swordsman it's not like you don't have your own dreams right Snapdragon asked her I I need to get stronger you know I is there a location for that he asked their ethics teacher wyna hummed before smiling then you'll want to go to the tainted Forest Albero she said as time's head snapped to her H H didn't you know the elf king does in fact reside in a tainted Forest wait what time choked I if that's true she clenched her fists I'm going there wait why do you say snap should go there too amarillis asked because Albero isn't a normal Forest the demonus explained the elf king who resides there is known as a master of Weaponry having the purest Blood of Elves within him he's been alive for over a thousand years and spent that time learning every weapon possible even making several have never left his domain a and he'll teach me Snapdragon asked hopefully before his face fell at wyvern's laugh teach you Snapdragon if you could pull that off I can say you are truly something special the elf king doesn't have a taste for humans if you would he's been around since the past Wars and hasn't grown fond of your kind despite everything s so why because he doesn't need to teach you the forest he resides in is one that has been popular ated by almost every creature he's ever defeated along the path to Mastery his eyes widened as she grinned exactly I'd suggest this path for most of the warrior course students right now you all have the permission to go into the forest thanks to a connection I and he have though I feel I should say something wyverne frowned at them and the group felt I stripped into their veins do not I'm serious do not attack someone of the forest there are living beings there full of sensient with who the else King has Grand connections an attack on them is an attack on him he'll easily come down to a hem straighten you out the students flinched quote dot dot dot sounds like a good idea Cal said with a grin as Sage babbled W what didn't you hear her he'll kill us the Mage said and Cal Shrugged with a chuckle only if we break the rules this is a prime time for me to get super strong why wouldn't I take it quote dot dot dot Cal's right Rosemary said as Sage choked hehe come on it's not going to be that bad I bet we won't even go into the forest only if you desire a bigger challenge than what's outside of it wyna said there are all sorts of monsters there don't let yourselves grow LAX though I suppose you could be a bit more Reckless her fingers glowed a wicked purple before each student's body glowed purple that's a safety trigger spell if one of you was even close to stepping into a fight or confrontation you can't handle it'll bring you back to the Rotunda immediately that are when everything hours is about done quote dot dot dot see then which way would be good for mage course students amarillis asked as Sage grew nervous well that' certainly be cursed tombs wyna said with a chuckle your mental States get affected by the aura of a cursed tomb the one I'd be sending you to isn't all that strong and it's a good starter for you all as soon as the second semester starts the locations you'll be allowed to go to might increase in danger she said with a shrug so when we say make the most of it we mean make the most of it then I know where I'm going amarus said with a nod as Sage looked nervous come on Pebble child what do you not want to be an amazing Mage I it's just our friends are going other places Sage muttered so H H we've all heard of cursed tombs before haven't we we know how scary they get Sage hissed quote dot dot dot whatever amarus Shrugged and the other Mage flinched at her dismissive look stay the way you are I have a legacy to create cursed tomb her glow moved next to the portal in question Albero Snapdragon said nervously Albero time followed suit hey Albero Cal grin albera Rosemary said and the group sweat dropped quote dot dot dot H hey I don't just get words like you guys their vow colors shifted off them towards the portal wyver chuckling as Rosemary blushed T this is going to be new for us she said to Sage who looked alarmed quote dot dot dot o or you're coming with us Rosemary asked and Sage was rather hurt by how unbothered her childhood friend was by the idea D do you want me to leave Sage asked with a pale face as her friend scrambled what no don't don't you want to be a cool mage like your mom Sage looked down as parsley smiled calmly hey now it's not like you can learn more about yourself by sticking with the same person all the time the blacksmith said that said it doesn't mean you have to do otherwise every develops at different Paces narut nodded though I think riy should get a friend to go with her he said with a finger scratching his nose whiskers do I look like a baby to you no but I think we could go with someone we know ain't that rich narut looked away with a nervous laugh very on brand quote dot dot dot sorry Sage looked between the group before swallowing a all right C cursed Tunes her color went away and Sage felt like she'd been about to do the same but to the afterlife T this is going to be horrible you saying I'm a bad trip amarillis asked dangerously and Sage fumbled quote dot dot dot ha calm down poor I'm just messing with you Sage didn't look ready to come down from her anxiety High the other students were quick to follow suit sage and ameril is quickly finding themselves with mint as their other known student for lack of a better word Cal huffed meanwhile as Parnell made it over to his group with that weird green-haired boy Naruto caught last week all right wyvern smiled as she clapped her hands the groups individually divided by boy and girl dropping through portals beneath their feet get dressed nrk Naruto rolled his eyes as he untangled himself from the boy ball in the dormatory the girls a bit further away all right he said as he got out his weapon purple glow fading away I guess these guys are more precise than I expected narut realized before going into his dorm room all right suit up time to kick some ass the groups groaned but followed suit hurrying to get their weapons and armors 10 minutes later Naruto and his friends exited their dorm rooms seeing one another for the very first time in their combat gear Rosemary had worn a dress it seemed a combat dress that was white around the Torso and had a light pink skirt beneath it over that she had on a darker pink leather vest that came down to her thighs and was all tied together by a dark red ribbon on her waist with leather shoulder pads a bow at her collar and a pair of dark brown steel toe boots her sword was adjusted on her back holster by her fingerless elbow length dark purple gloves I'm ready to rock she said with a grin as Sage looked miserable next to her wearing her favorite purple witch's hat she now had on a princess-like gown of a similar color with also the same color boots a broom in her hands I hate this the blueberry said with a face full of frustration and misery y'll de great harsley said with a grin hands on her hips us meanwhile are going to be jumping into a whole new world wearing a pair of brown steel toe boots Brown leader hosen white muscle shirt and fingerless Brown gloves she had her Hammer behind her back hmph we'll survive time said wearing a pair of brown thigh length leather boots with a bit of white leather wraps around her left thigh time hat on a green short long sleeve dress with a brown belt a brown chest guard on the left side of her bosom over a gold tunic she adjusted gold bow handle her left forearms leather arm guard keeping her uniforms colors W well this is it Snapdragon said nervously as amarillis grinned next to him I I hope this goes well wearing a onepiece blue jumpsuit the ginger hat on leather Greaves a leather belt around his waist with his holsters leather chest pieces and pauldrons and fingerless leather gauntlets we're going to rule amarillis declared with a grin do you think we'll find some kind of lost teros feres she asked Sage who flinched quote dot dot dot WWE teros feres can be found the blue Mage asked amarillis grinned in her white boots black bodysuit and white thy length cloak tied at her waist and collar by small gems the girl Ed her hip as she adjusted her white witch's cap her two silver bracelets on like always duh it's in the name Tera they're not only man-made by which country they can be found in the Earth itself there are rare kinds and common kinds like most of us have the rare ones are said to be found in places dense with magical power and pressure tombs are perfect Sage didn't think so but she did think the fact was interesting Cal huffed mace resting across his lower back it's news to me wearing a pair of dark gray pants that fed into a pair of dark brown leather Greaves the boy's torso was covered by a long sleeved gray tunic with a black belt and fingerless leather gauntlet and shoulder pads of a grayish brown color Naruto looked interested huh I wonder he said the blonde rounded them up wearing a pair of black bants that were tied at The Shins by black strings orange ninja sandals an orange robe like top with golden string on the collar and wrists and elbow length fingerless black gloves over his forearms were gray gauntlets while a pair of pouches sat on his waist his top Tied by a black belt that the pouches rested on his sword rested on on his left hip while his shield was on his left arm like always we look like a bunch of adventurers Rosemary declared with a grin and fist pumped yes we're in it to win it yeah it's a bit cool Snap Dragon said with a smile for now we should purple portals appeared beneath their feet and the group slumped not again they dropped into a barely controlled Heap in the Rotunda along with their fellow freshmen Naruto th parsley and amarillis barely catching themselves on their feet few that was close the short girl said with a look of relief as Naruto chuckled holding Rosemary in his arms as Cal was embarrassingly caught by amarillis parsley catching sage and time catching Snapdragon Chi thanks he said as the elf L him down to slump damn it that wasn't cool snap mumbled with a face full of embarrassment and the worst part he'd kind of liked it Rosemary grinned as nut's body revolted in the worst of ways the boy quickly setting her down as his fingers curled involuntarily and his smile stitched itself onto his face lest he reveal his pain the others followed suit time parsley and Snapdragon watching the boy's reaction his hands trembling before he crossed them with the ends going beneath his armpits shei thanks Rosemary said with a blush and embarrassed grin Naruto nodding as he looked awaye question mark weird welcome back wyver said with a smile as many of the students groaned good you're all dressed and all here come now no time to waste she added as the portals to their desired locations grew in sizes that were large enough to fit a group of them through at once there are your portals get to it the group stared for a moment before Naro nodded stepping forward come on guys we've got training to do he grinned this is the chance to make the most of it he declared with a clenched fist as parsley nodded walking to stand next to him I I guess this is it Snapdragon swallowed nervously Before Time gestured to the portal it'll be fine besides there are four of us she reminded him and he perked up T that's right he realized before blushing at Cal's snickering T that is wek do our best to protect each other snap corrected quickly as amarus rolled her eyes don't get killed out there she told him patting him on the back with force that had him stumbling and looking back at her nervously man up and go show the world who Snapdragon is amarillis cheered him on with a nod why yeah I guess so he said all right come on Stone witch the short girl said to her fellow short Girl Sage mumbling as she and rosemary hugged before they separated gez what you two an item what no Rosemary's like the sister I never had Sage responded as she held her broom Within clenched fists s she's the kind of person who drove back the monsters under the bed and tea things she admitted in embarrassment as amarilla smirked hm pH I kind of get it she said and Sage looked surprised why you have a sibling nope but I have a Snapdragon she said as they walked through the portal he's basically a big old little brother time smirked as she heard that come on let's go she said to the other three turning to face parsley and Naruto wheel parsley grinned before holding out her fist and the elf blink before rubbing the back of her head with a blush their fists bumped together and she nodded before boing at nutk own embarrassment the boy fist out no shakes no Quivers no trembling a powerful limb presented itself to a surprised time you're right he said with a look of resolution before grinning be safe out there Nar said as she looked at his fist before nodding the two's fists tapping quote dot dot dot hmph he nodded before doing the same to the others Snapdragon nodded as the last of the forest team before heading off all right letun do this cars Naruto said as he raised his fist to her and she smiled kindly before they tapped them I can do this you can do this we can do this let's go and learn some stuff yep the dwarf said with an eager grin as they ran into their portal before sweat dropped at one student being there hm mint raised her brow at them the strict looking girl standing there in a large black cloak her eyes lacking her usual glasses as they glowed softly you two took your time I've been waiting for approximately 3 minutes she said impatiently tapping her black boots as they saw her thigh length red tunic right sorry Nar said Naruto Uzumaki Fox beastkin you primarily focus on physical combat with high scores from last week's limit test right mint said as the two blinked son of hakone you likely have Marshall prowess as well with magical affinities Naruto wore a nervous grin as parsley chuckled only to Blink as mint's Focus went to her parsley the dwarf you have a large family of notable blacksmiths one of the best in lingar which helps promote your family's growth and prosperity you've average fighter scores but your strength even for a dwarf is outrageous and your smithing skills are far ahead than anyone else even in the second year oh oh uh the dwarf looked embarrassed and a bit weirded out in the same breath quote dot dot dot thanks no thanks needed mint said we have a balanced team I can handle most long range situations with my teros speres I specialize in red light magic the two looked confused for now no it gives me long range attacks and versatility all right let's go Naro declared taking the leader role so easily H I'll be surveying you Naruto why does that feel like a threat he said as they walked into it none the wiser to the black cat walking through with them nrk stepping through sage and amarillis blinked as they and several other students saw the area it was a decently big set of stone stairs in the middle of a jungle the air sticky with moisture and the ground slightly soggy hm pH amarillis tilted her head before before walking down w Wait s shouldn't we go as a group Sage asked in horror as she skittered behind the braver Mage w why are you so gung-ho about this amarela shot her a flat look as her form glowed a soft purple causing Sage to Flinch listen you seem to be forgetting that Guardian Life is dangerous amorus said with a frown as Sage looked away do you honestly think you'll never be facing this see that's I I know together me and Rose no the purple-haired girl said with narrowed eyes as Sage flinched we're not talking about a hypothetical with rosemary we're talking about you alone doing Guardian work Sage's eyes shrunk as the other Mage face pump let's just go we're wasting time nrk the four and many other students landed in a good 10 meters away from the so-called tainted Forest Albero so you know anything about this place Cal asked time who crossed her arms with a tilt of the head quote dot dot dot everything M dretch said about it is all we need to know there are spells inside but those are mostly for the sake of protecting the inhabitants within for now I know that the monsters that roam out the tree line and outside aren't the tough but they've got surprising strength Snapdragon looked out at the tree line before swallowing as something stocked out many something as they skittered out with vicious rattling GG giant centipede beats he shrieked as the students looked on with nervous energy about them see they probably poisonous yeah time said as even Cal grimaced at that though despite their size their poison only paralyzes and it takes quite a bit of it to do that to an adult and to guys are sizes Rosemary asked as she brandished her sword the other students doing the same with their weapons worse off yeah time said as her golden bow handle formed wooden arches that quickly formed a between their tips now her fingertips blowed as a long rather thin item formed in them let's get some training in the arrow flew before nailing one of the creatures in the head green fluid squishing out as it died on the spot time smirked not that tough nrk the three students blinked as they came through the portal only to find themselves at top a hill huh Naruto blinked as he looked out into the distance quote dot dot dot quote he focused and looked around you see anything parsley asked him and he shook his head no but I can feel life nearby he said pointing ahead the canyon-like landscape greeting their eyes dark red stone yellow weeds and cool purplish Blue Water greeted them it feels like it's just on the horizon feel mint asked and Naruto nodded even carsley was left confused wait do you have a sensory skill like time parsley asked and Naruto nodded do dude you should have told us why I bet you're a killer tracker he he thanks so you sense life mint asked for clarification as narut nodded life Souls presences energy I can sense it all he explained and she looked impressed very valuable you're not looking to join the hunter Union are you nope no offense to them I want to be able to explore as I please that's just the spice of life for yah parsley said with a grin now come on we need to get as much time as we can narut nodded before blinking as mint floated on a broom that the two weren't sure of the origin of are you both coming I know neither of you two can fly a broom yeah help me please parsley said as she hopped on you can sit right H here Naru she winced at her words crap was he going to be fine nah I'll hop as you guys fly Naro said with a grin as the two girls blinked at his stretching form tea that seems unwise what if you Tire yourself out besides a broom is faster than any average guardian's running speed mint said with an annoyed Huff goodness are boys always like this hey I'll have you know I'm being serious he said as he hopped in place Thrice all right how about you see if you can keep up yeah he told her with a smirk as the M's eyebrow twitched we'll see how your bravado holds up stupid guys the girl muttered with a pout as parsley raised a brow I kind of have to agree you sure you're going to be all right the blacksmith asked and Naruto nodded I've traveled through forests for training cars I did that because I wanted to this distance isn't that far quote dot dot dot so you can judge distances too mint asked with a huff as he noded quote dot dot dot if you fall into a ditch I'm not healing you until we get to the location just so you learn I get yah glad you care he said before widening his stance keep up they hadn't expected much maybe some decent speed but the boy would have to Traverse steep Cliffs it shouldn't have been a contest so when he shot into the air across the chasm in front of them to reach the other Cliff color them shocked H ha T that shouldn't be possible mint said you're using magic aren't you nope well not a spell just pure magic energy inside of my body narut shouted across the chasm now come on we've got to go he said before taking off form a blur that was quickly losing them he's got a point ha haa parsley laughed as she Pat the girl on the back let's catch up mint huffed before they took off on her broom their speed impressive to parsley as they were catching up to Naruto slowly damn he's fast nrk the three were together once again Naruto keeping a steady run as they focused on the destination ahead they came to a stop on a cliff Edge Naruto skirting to a stop as he crouched to look down at the settlement before them mint and partially lowering to his level so this is a demon Village parsley asked as they looked at the settlement it seemed like a regular Village back in the normal plane but the homes were made of bone Stone and bloody looking mortar The Village before them was kind of serpentine with big buildings at both ends that connected to the whole perimeter via large white charts even from up here they could see small red dots people moving about their daily lives are around the perimeter of the village H Naruto blinked at little blips of Darkness that flashed about randomly with those on the outside quote dot dot dot I think that's magic he said as mint tilted her head before pulling out a big book where' that come from demon settlements can range from primitive to out tried more advanced than our own mint interrupted him as she read something in the book though be warned you can't know the temperament of a demon or demonis she said to them they could be as nice as Professor dretch or as mean as a dark Beast Naruto and parsley nodded so let's go down yeah he said as he stood up the two girls floating by him all right come on harsley began to say only for Naruto to grin as he hopped off T The Heir you doing she cursed for the first time since he'd known her the girls broom dipping to follow after the blonde what idea is this I'm fine I promise narut said as he held his arms out as he fell the sight of the trees below coming in hot a big burst he said to himself as he held out his shield moments away from contact and he swung out while releasing some magical energy a ball of gold forming around him and arresting his and the girls movements before it went away the three falling the last few meters safely hmph Nar landed in a Crouch as the two females looked at him flatly hey I told you I was good doesn't mean my heart's not out here beating like it wants to have a heart attack harsley said with a hand over her chest and a breath of relief Naruto wincing sorry I mean it yeah I know I know don't just do that kind of stuff without telling us please promise hm pH well it worked out we made record time and we weren't seen mint said as they began to move parsley getting off her broom so she could walk gez how heavy is that hammer she huffed sorry parsley rubbed the back of her head well that was a start to their teamwork nrk Sage squeaked as she waved her hands at a small Apparition whose form became a mess in her rapidly waving hands e e e she waved it off as the benign Spirit flowed around her hand and went away w why are we going deeper Sage whined amarus rolled her eyes it's a tomb there's probably all kinds of [ __ ] down here she said with a grin as Sage flinched and if we find some scriptures and stuff you can take that [ __ ] I'm here to make me look good why you're cursing more than usual the other Mage noted as the two of them walked down the hallway I I don't get it we're not in school I can curse as much as I like not like a proper dainty [ __ ] liting up in a castle doing who knows what or who quote dot dot dot quote Sage swallowed as they looked at the walls quote dot dot dot it was a sacrificial site she wondered as they stopped by an odd mural with a circle on it that had skulls all around it before showing a pair of crossed bones in the middle fire motifs all around the thing entirely what you into that kind of magic what no W who' even do that that's horrible hey yeah I know you wouldn't amarus said with a shrug still we in some sick [ __ ] if that's what this tomb was originally for it was true if this place was for that it meant it was likely more cursed than they expected what do you think is down here the purple haired one asked with interest if it was a sacrifice site that means they were going to summon something right Sage swallowed CH the thing with these kinds of SES is that yes they were mostly used to appeal to a higher power whether it was for an odd God a mystical creature their King oh or a demon right amarus finished for her with a frown as they saw another mural a big hulking demon was pictured on it something with three Bine heads that sported skull-like faces with long horns the main body was a pot seemingly and their necks looked like they were made of fire a fire demon I is being down here a good idea Sage whispered in horror as they saw it Amarilis looking Disturbed as well I it's been years right I it's not like this place could still be harboring that demon she said to Sage who looked down the halls with her quote dot dot dot come on let's get back to the others a scream ripped through the air nearly sending the two girls Souls out of their bodies what they ran after the sound more screams ripping through the air this isn't good they said in unison as they went back the way they came before going down on a hallway the more ground they covered the brighter it got Sage huffed a bit as they came to a stop by a doorway and then both of them choked at the sight of their classmates all backing up against the Walls by them all of them looking at an odd-looking pot a familiar pot two students lay unconscious by it Flames spilling out from the container to reach them but their forms vanished in bursts of purple energy leaving it wanting that's the pot from the mural Sage screamed as amarilla grimaced activating her Terra spere we need to get away from it are you serious we don't know if that thing is even a threat right now we need to destroy it while it's weak amarus said as she took aim Sage paling as she reached out to stop her no wait if it's stuck in the jar Sage said barely pushing amarillis's aim off to only chip the jar and yet that was seemingly enough as the entire class watched in horror at the bubbling mass of flames coming out of it nrk Rosemary hacked through another centipede spinning around two other ones lunges before slicing through them with ease coming to a stop just in time to stab a Giant Beetle in the horn blocking its slicing attack the horn hovering past her blade began to shoot down and she barely jumped back to dodge it three arrows found its Horn's base cracking it off before a mace crushed it under its owner strength ha Cal grunted as he hefted his weapon out of its crushed Cranium rubbing his forehead we've been at this for almost 20 minutes they just keep coming pause I it looks like they're thinning Snapdragon said nervously as he swiped at a centipedes head the green bodily fluid in its head splashing over him causing him to shiver T that was its it's fine time said to him holding his shoulder with a knowing look that he looked away from it's fine chances are high we approaching these things boss she offered to the others as the floor rumbled a bit ah there it is snapdragon flinched at the movement beneath his feet head looking up at the tree line to see trees bending around something oh God I is that some Giant Beetle crab he said in paling horror hitting his rear it was it was big too easily bigger than a train cart it was beetle likee in that it had two portions of its body but crab likee in looks its four big pincers snapping at the air as its moss covered body which was primarily light green shifted each step its eight extra legs causing a mini Rumble in the ground beneath their feet that's a crab time said with a shake of the head at her fellow students looks do not ask me I didn't name the damn thing so uh what are our chances Rosemary asked as she bounced on her feet sort in its holster I it looks kind of big she said nervously grin shaky and face sweating time looked at the other students then finished off her survey with Cal and Snapdragon quote dot dot dot I don't think we need to fight it getting through that horde of dangerous animals was enough of a workout as is she said but she looked the least bothered the slightest hint of sweat on her forehead we don't need to fight letun get further away from the forest Snapdragon looked relieved even as Cal scoffed look at that weakling you don't have to fight anymore he said brazenly to Snapdragon who flinched even if you barely did anything that was uncalled for Cal Rosemary said as she helped Snapdragon to his feet the ginger looking down not everyone can just run at that thing I I don't think I'd want to that's not the point he's not pulling his weight the grape head said with his weapon resting on his shoulders it's pathetic she that's Snapdragon looked down as he bit his lip Cal looking annoyed for the love of God fight back crap he said do you have a hint of courage in your body Cal that's enough time said as she backed up to the other three standing students Snapdragon looking full of Shame no his words aren't important she hissed at the scoffing Cow stop babying him will you I'm doing no such thing time growled not everyone is born ready for combat Snapdragon still made it into this hga on his own merits recognize that Cal kissed his teeth as Snapdragon fists clenched HEK right he shook away the thought remember what Naruto said there's nothing wrong with being weak unless you're doing nothing about it the ginger told himself as they backed up quot dot dot dot quote he clenched his teeth letting out a hiss of anger before biting his lip the students backed away the field of carcasses left in their wake as the giant monster didn't give Chase they kept going many in the back minding their flank before coming to a halt rest time said to the group who collapsed onto their Rears damn it why is he doing this right now C's words bothered her yes he was right in that the ginger wasn't pulling his necessary weight yet but the fact that he was here meant he had qualities not all of them had getting in on only smarts wasn't as easy as people thought time knew she was pretty smart but the tests were rigorous and multi-layered strategy situational awareness ethics and more were on those tests and she knew she was a bit colder in her answers so she knew that Snapdragon did deserve to be here he was training studying helping alongside all of them she'd be damned if Cal tried to bring some [ __ ] into this she took several calming breaths before checking on the group it took at best five minutes the tall girl coming back around to her personal group within this one Rosemary was simply relaxing on the ground as Cal sat cross-legged mace head first into the ground with his crossed arms and Chin resting on its pommel ever vigilant and Snapdragon damn it she walked over to the boy who was sitting with his knees pulled up to his head arms around them and head down how are you holding up she asked him as she sat down next to him quote dot dot dot don't let Cal get to you quote dot dot dot I know he sighed I I do it's not like you're wrong either I studied my ass off to get here to prove something I just wasn't smart enough to realize I needed bronze with these brains he said knocking his fist against his Noggin you remember nutk words no matter what the moment you give up you will remain weak time said as he nodded quote dot dot dot I know what it's like she said as he blinked at her really I mean you look more put together than the rest of us he said quote dot dot dot when I was a kid she began slowly my dad me and my mom left our home a long time ago when I was still a kid time said a Snapdragon listened quote dot dot dot he was staying back to protect the forest I wanted to help so much but I was too young too weak and too inept to help and so we left my dad there along with some of the others alone to fend for our home time I didn't know Snapdragon frowned what about your mom time's eyes narrowed and he winced we're not on good terms quote dot dot thought yeah I can understand that I bet amarillis can too he said and time raised a brow it's not hard to figure that out she said and he nodded quote dot dot dot her mom is she's not he winced her mom sucks okay literally and figuratively snap said with a blush but Grimace I don't know my own mom she died back when I was born time winced but he shook his head I never got to meet her all I had was Dad and and I don't think me and him see things the same way what did he hide you away too I wish or really I wish he understood me more snap explained he was always ready to throw me into things don't let them take your stuff get it back you have to love Ru housing it runs in the blood come on my boy let's go outside and practice your axe swings he blushed a bit though I I probably should have tried a bit harder with that last one the thing is though I didn't want to do that kind of stuff yet he kept saying I should time blinked at that sounds rough quote dot dot dot it is snapdragon said quote dot dot dot I I don't think he hates me I don't think your mom does either he added in his times eyes narrowed she treats me like a child she said quote dot dot dot I get that nrk they watched from the tree line the numerous red skinned individuals moved about as one would expect from a tribe of Native people so what should we do parsley asked as they popped above some bushes for a bit before hiding again we don't know if they're friendly do we no we don't we need a proper plan mint said as Naruto humed we need to watch them for a time we don't have that time though Naro said as mint frowned we've got maybe an hour and 30 minutes left we can't and what would you suggest we just walk up to them yeah you insufferable buffoon what will you do if they're evil but we don't know mint harsley chimed in do you honestly think we can wait this out the Mage looked nervous quote dot dot dot If This falls on our heads it's on you she hissed Naruto who grinned I'll take the fall now if you want I can go up first and you guys just watch from the bushes all right just take it easy all right parsley said eyes brokering no argument I promise Nar said with a finger scratching his cheek geez I like that she's worried about me but I feel like I'm giving in way too easy maybe that was because of this little world's change in his luck with women he nodded and moved around to another Bush before stepping out much to the surprise of the demon tribe so uh hi the name's narut Naruto introduced himself as the demon guards at the gate they had SN towards shot him suspicious looks uh I was actually traveling around the Demon World from my school H school one of the guards said before the other blinked wait hold on you're a guardian HHA Naruto blinked you um well yeah and in try he tried to clarify but it was too late the guard came over and bowed to him what's wrong he asked immediately as the girls in the bushes blinked in confusion I it's The Village's protection sir right now we're awaiting a horrid creature by the end of the week the demon said as Naruto flinched T the end of the week he asked nervously W what is it aarl came the voice of a mature demon man who came out the gate so you've come he said with a look of pleading Naro couldn't deny why yeah I did he said before considering something me and my team Naro added just a second ago we were heading he they'll be here eventually can you give me the whole story parsley and mint looked at one another nervously until Friday parsley realized T that's not a lot of time she said concerned HEK an idiot we're not Guardians mint said with a Grimace we can't please for the sake of our tribe save us the chief bowed along with the guards the two girls forms flinching then gold spiraled up nut's form as his eyes softened sure I'll help in whatever way I can he said with finality as the golden blow shocked the guards quote dot dot dot do you know where this gnarl thing is quote dot dot dot that settles it harsley said as mint choked we I don't think we can ignore this so you'll also fake being an actual Guardian the brown skinned girl asked with a dangerous tone you realize this isn't some game right the moment we take this as a mission we'll have it under are names that we faked our way into solving this parsa's eyes closed before she nodded yeah I'm well aware that's why we're not going to fail her eyes opened to see Naruto bowing back to the three demons right now we've people in front of us who need help what happens if we leave them alone we'd be able to go back and tell the teachers mint hissed back besides don't you realize something she asked as parsley blinked listen to his words your finally here they called a guardian that person is going to eventually show up I'm curious narut asked the chief you said you were waiting for me right yes it was odd the man looked concerned the Guardians we' called on they were supposed to have arrived days ago a and I suppose you're backup yeah narut nodded so come on tell me everything I need to know about this narl thing the chief nodded before Naruto pretended like he felt some oh they're here he said with an apologetic grin looking at the two's Hiding Place mint's fuse was lit and she was dangerously close to calling out all this nonsense as is coming out of the bushes harsley nodded to the three demons who looked surprised good evening she said with a smile a dwarf we've never seen one before apologies the chief said and parsley shook her head it's not a problem I look unassuming but trust me I'm strong we'll take your word for it I'm not a part of this team just an observer mint immediately separated herself from the two without hesitation for now I'll be documenting the mission but I've no hand in this I hope you understand we do ma'am please write this way the chief said as he led the three inside of the demon Village the three students blinked as they looked around with interest demons all with red skin as noted earlier blinked at them before their shined G Guardians T they're a bit young aren't they idiot a guardian's basically better than 100 soldiers more of such things were thrown around surprising the trio before Naruto blinked before he kneeled and pulled on the back of a rushing demon boy's tunic stopping him from falling as he caught all six of the oranges he dropped easy there kid Naruto said with a chuckle as he set him back on his feet before handing him his fruit the boy's yellow eyes shining with awe as the blonde chuckled some more and stood up take care T these are for you the kid said with a grin as the three blinked for helping us Naruto's eyes softened before he took one with a grin thanks wek do our best to not let a single hair on your head get hurt all right yeah the boy offered to the girls and parsley chuckled before taking one thanks kid come on the dwarf said to Mint who scoffed before taking one gently thank you I'm sure these two will do do their best to protect you all and I'll evacuate you all if necessary all right mint said softly and the boy nodded with a determined expression amusing the girl before she blushed clearing her throat and returning to a stoic expression hum hum hum go along Toma I still need to speak with them the chief said and the boy grinned before running off apologies no problem Nar said with a smile as parsley nodded HEK one of the bright lights we're here to protect after all the blacksmith said as mint side they quickly made it to the chief's tent at the other end of the village quickly being ushered into the man's tent the chief sending his guards off to rest as they spoke at length as they all sat down mint was prepared to clarify once again she wasn't I'm so sorry for doing this to you all the man said as parsley and mint winced you knew from the very beginning Nar said without a change in expression as the man nodded the other guys do you know what happened to them those Guardians I spoke of are likely some of the worst that took up occupation in the Demon World the demon grimsted is the three frowned wait what do you mean parsley asked hauh youngans surely not every Guardian is going to be a bright light in the world mint grimaced we'd called on a team but by the time I'd checked their reputations it was already too late so you knew that and still took them on as the so-called backup mint said with a frown what were you thinking we're teenagers I know I know I'm sorry but I I had to why mint Naruto spoke up and the girl flinched at the stern tone harsley looking a bit surprised it's not hard to see why he said softly and the two young women blinked before remembering the Guardians not here not just the Guardians either Naruto clarified and they were now confused what do you mean his friend asked the people he said as the chief nodded you heard them you saw how they bowed you saw those guys up front this gnarl thing it's brought them deep into despair the tribe can't survive like this the chief said is mint grimsted s still we can't she argued we'll be going back in 2 hours w we might be able to bring a guardian can you ones who can get permission to come into the Demon World and then here wait be but we're right here parsley said worried you make it sound like it takes time for a guardian team not of the realm country to be allowed to come the chief said as their eyes widened did I not say those Guardians were supposed to be here days ago the thing is they were supposed to have come days ago a week after we sent for help so were your last chance that's ridiculous H how the hell can this be mint grew livid in Naruto's side and you don't think I've forgotten this is all on your head I know no Naruto shot back as mint flinched you think I'm just trying to play Hero mint do you honestly not have a single hint of kindness for these people it's not our job yes it is he shot back as she flinched once more we chose to become Guardians in training do you honestly think your rules are more important than someone an entire people's life the girl's hands clenched the bottom of her tunic as she trembled quote dot dot dot all right cool it harsley said to the two with a frown as mint looked down while Naruto sighed I'm sorry I mean it he said as mint looked at him in disbelief but I'm not taking back my other words mint we at hga to be Guardians how can we do that if we turn away from people who have nowhere else to go we not ready she grimaced as parsley side you're probably right we're likely not we're not that far into our school year and yet here we are being the Guardians for this tribe but there's likely never going to be a chance where we'll know we're ready that's not how life works I didn't know I'd help play mother to my own siblings as I grew up I didn't plan for it I couldn't have I simply understood they needed me I couldn't be selfish about it even if I wanted to that's why I think we have to do this the dwarf said as Naruto nodded um Chief the thing is right now we're only here for another hour at best we'll have 8 hours to prepare care here is there anything you can tell us to give us an idea on how to beat this thing hell how do we even know it'll come while we're here the demon man looked solemn but nodded the creature is a being made of evil wood it aims to cause suffering to Simply destroy without a thought it has no mind it's essentially a beast without thought so if you have light magic Fire magic possibly even sharp Weaponry you'll have the advantage and that creature will come here at this time due to due to its cycle quote dot dot dot about those attributes Naruto considered something old man originally me and pars came here because we wanted to learn demon language so we could work towards the goal of making an evil destroying sword he said with eyes full of resolution as parsa's eyes widened is there any way you can give us something to work with the man frowned as he cued his chin you can't learn demon language so easily it's not just about understanding the words you need to be able to apply negative emotions to them to bring about an effect what you're talking about is going into a fused branch of magic between demon language and sacred runes anti- language magic or anti- magic is the term for when the two are mixed due to how often it's only used for the sake of denying the negative effects of hexes and curses on principles I wish I could say otherwise but there's likely not a lot you can accomplish in the time we have you're right but we know that sadly what we need is every Edge we can guarantee Nar said with a dark frown and if it's negativity I know I can apply a curse or hex he said shocking his teammates Naruto the dwarf frowned quote dot dot dot one day I'm sure I'll tell you hars narut said with an apologetic smile but right now we need every Advantage we can get quote dot dot dot fine Chief is there a difference between smithing here in the Demon World and our world parsley asked and the man looked hopeful if it's those two things yes we may be able to supply you the tools to stand a chance though an hour isn't long as you said we'll practice while we're not here please let us help you the two blondes said with their heads bowed the Man's eyes teared up before he wiped them and got up then let go please save our tribe the two grinned as they followed him oh right mint harsley said Softly As the girl sat there stunned and horrified quote dot dot dot sorry you can just help by doing as you said please evacuate everyone if things don't go our way she admitted as she and Naruto left the tent the last hga student was left there to just stare after them what the hell is wrong with all of them were they mad risking your lives your more valuable lives than some happenstance trouble was the height of stupidity what the hell were they thinking we chose to become Guardians in training do you honestly think your rules are more important than someone and entire people's life Naruto's words rang in her mind and she clenched her fists nrk parsley watched as the trib's metal worker showed her the method the way we handle smithing isn't the same as humans the man who ran the Smithy said what we need isn't fire we just started but natural fire or more likely magical fire parsley nodded slowly I get that starting from the very bottom of it and working our way up what else right the next thing is that well we don't use molds like other races on your side do we'd usually use magic he explained and she began to sweat um no offense but I'm crap at Magic hum that's fine the thing is you don't need to know magic but you have to command it that magical fire you can use it to shape the weapon when you've pulled on the power of flames and molded it in your mind you beat on it with your Hammer he said raising his he went through the steps and partially covered her face as a vat of lava opened up on the floor an old seder came through here once he tried to bring these methods from here to the outside but I don't know how well that went he said as her eyes widened Professor flocks if that was true she might be able to do this all the way until Friday the demon man raised a bar of metal in reinforced tongs and held it over The Lava all natural things in the Demon World have magical properties to them your job as a blacksmith is to pull on those properties and mold it as a blacksmith should parsley watched the process with interest the man's Hammer came down and she was mystified by how it clanged even without an anvil magic really was amazing nrk Nar focused on the word h FL Nar tried looking at the word on the parchment in front of him the letters glowing dark red Focus my boy we can't teach you the entire alphabet but we can learn words and Bank on those Focus the body is the hex the intent is to curse the claw is the fuel the kind of spell the effect and what it feeds off of those are the basics to hexus Naruto's eyes narrowed as he called on those feelings the feelings of swelling disgust the anger at that individual the pain she'd inflicted and and how good it had felt during how at the bottom of it all he'd enjoyed it like a sick pervert the demon Chief blinked as he watched the boy's whisker marks darken before the sound of something burning reached his ears looking down his eyes widened in awe at The Burning Flame yav done it nrk amarus and Sage grimaced as they ran with all the other students in off amarus shouted at the whirling Flames wand out and sending in out a blast of purple light it slammed into the Flames fending them off before being overtaken like the other 50 or so shots she'd taken D damn it the girl gasped as she sat on Sage's broom the pair and all the other Mage course students rushing out with their flying sweepers I it's keeping it at Bay but I don't have more in me my teros speres are even starting to lose their power Sage's face contorted into fear looking back for but a moment to see the reaching flames what are we going to do at this rate it had reach them before they could get to the exit single quote dot dot dot wait her eyes widened as she looked behind her why is it following us of course the obvious answer would have been what was the obvious answer a Amarilis Sage spoke up as her fellow Mage frowned what she asked as she raised her wand again I'm doing my acts of futility over here yes keep doing that Sage said as she boed are right now I need to know something why is it following us well duh because we Disturbed it so it wants to be free there has to be something it needs or wants that's why it's chasing us freaking fine amarillis took aim what's it chasing there has to be something she took another shot it bubbled around the blow freezing for a moment before shooting back with more Vigor damn it what is it that's it Sage realized with a frown magic power a sacrifice needs to be given amarillis that's why it's chasing us it's searching for the magic power that would be sacrificed along with it we don't want that to happen amarus shouted in horror are you insane quote dot dot dot no I'm not Sage realized as she looked at amarillis's bracelets but I have a crazy idea well crazy to you quote dot dot dot damn it the purple-haired girl grimaced before undoing her bracelets I hope you choke on it fire [ __ ] she said as she Chuck the items as deep into the Flames as she could good Sage said as it came to a stop and so did she much to her comrades horror we have to ensure it doesn't come out she trailed her finger into the air symbols collided and shifted before a swirling ball of energy formed amarillis sighed in relief don't tear off our arms now we're not whiskers Sage grinned gotcha she pushed as much energy into the ball before allowing it to pop wo the two were sent ahead of the other students at alarming speeds the group rushing after them 30 seconds later they all shot out of the tombs before falling off their brooms AAC we lived amarus said in relief only for sage to frown shakily getting to her feet quote dot dot dot don't tell me w we need to to push the cover back on the tomb Sage shouted I if we don't it might follow us out here all the students choked before stumbling to their feet and hurrying to the sides of the tomb's entrance two large stone door flaps on both sides they lifted with as much strength as they could their fragile bodies moving the stone slowly D damn it amarillis cursed as they felt the thing coming hush hush hush it like it's your in Bully the students double timed and they slammed it down collapsing back onto their rears in relief and then the stone doors were punched through as fiery hazy tore into the sky before coming back down on them facing their death amarilla side as Sage sniffled a bit hey uh sorry you did deserve to be here she admitted as the Flames were upon them that's enough the Clack of aain reached their ears and the girls clenched their eyes shut before blinking at no feeling of burning possibly being eaten fire HHA the two blink before looking behind them to a chuckling individual Professor caroway I'm glad we plann for this he said as he walked over one hand on his Cane while the other formed symbols in the air you all did well while I'm sure you're saddened you didn't leave with any material things you left with experience and an understanding of how dangerous our jobs are caroway said as he smiled softly at some of the crying students Amarilis rubbed her eyes while Sage sniffled a bit good job you all will have the rest of today off all right nrk they watched it that crab still a stupid name snapd drag inside as the time ticked away one of the warrior Mage mix students having an astral clock for them to count down their time here 10 more minutes Cal said as he walked over and sat down honestly I probably wouldn't mind taking a shot at that thing he said sitting cross-legged and resting his cheek on his fist sure we'll come back tomorrow but we're here now we're all rested up and we know we're not going to die quote dot dot dot no it's still unwise time said with a frown we should I I want to fight it too Snapdragon said as her head snapped to him the boy looking down with a thoughtful expression quote dot dot dot see Cals right we're going to have to face it eventually right why not learn a bit about it while we still have the chance because you might suffer a wound before teleporting out time said as both boys flinched did you consider that we don't know how fast the spell is what happens if God forbid one of you gets caught in its claws Rosemary sat up looking green I it it have to be safe though right Professor dretch even said we had once in a lifetime permission yes and we've been given more Mercy than you'll ever know time said as they looked at her did you guys not find it weird it didn't chase us this far out think that thing was allowing us to leave M dretch likely had a bit more pull with the elf king and he allowed this to happen many looked shocked while Cal grimaced damn it in why even send us here just to experience it Rosemary offered as the boy still looked angry I get it I do right now I want to get stronger too but we don't know as Sage said what if we l lose something before we're taken away Snapdragon looked down in nervousness before standing up and walking towards the crab Snap Dragon he flinched As Time yelled I swear to God I'll kill you before that damn thing does if you don't get your ass back here H hold on I know how this looks he said his time looked ready to tackle him wait please I mean it I'm not going to do anything that had put my life in danger then what she growled as he looked nervous I I want to observe it he said and the group blinked close than this what if there's some kind of organ on its shell that does something we don't know Cal was right in that this is a chance but times right in that we don't know anything about our safety with that thing so right now no attacking but observing quote dot dot dot quote time frowned at that before Rosemary grinned come on that should be good enough she said to the elf as Cal smirked finding a weak spot is pretty all right in my book he said as time groaned I'm letting it cut off your toes if this backfires she said to the ginger who ped the group stocked closer slowly the crab watching them all the while maybe 20 M away from the tree line and the monster by proxy they laid down and watched it quote dot dot dot this is about 20 M Snapdragon whispered as time's eyes watched The Crab Beetle for any sudden hostility this is the safety point for its Mercy B basically man look at that thing it's got shells all over it Rosemary said as time side and observed quote dot dot dot quote her eyes narrowed its armpits look at them there's no plating there the elf said snapd dragon's eyebrows furrowed a bit as he looked at what she was pointing out quote dot dot dot why yeah I do see it he said I guess all those arms and legs have to be allowed to move somehow wait doesn't that mean its entire s is open Rosemary asked is the creature patrolled the group seeing the supposed weak points well they only go to the end of the first part of it but it's still a weak point take out the legs and arms and we're not only winning but we get an amazing dinner out of it many stomachs growled at her words and the group groaned in unison H dinner's still 2 hours away Cal groaned we need to bring food next time Snapdragon realized and time considered the idea if we're going to just be standing around all the time time might as well especially if we cut down another horde I'd say it's a good idea time said and the warrior group nodded as the astral clock was 1 minute away from their time limit hm pH I guess this isn't a bad idea Rosemary grinned good going snap she said as the ginger blushed at her praise it could have been worse I'll give you some respect Cal admitted and Snapdragon nodded before blinking H his head tilted to the side as his eyes squ what's that something gold shining white from the tree line by the crab he squinted some more and thought he could make out was a well it looked like a claw then the timer hit zero and their bodies were covered in a burning dark purple Aura and they vanished nrk they all reappeared back in the Rotunda feeling slightly drained but full of ideas Cal Rosemary time and Snapdragon looked around before finding their friends quickly and well they all looked like they had some stuff to work through amarillis and Sage were just sitting down against a pillar gazes vacant while Naruto and parsley were focusing on some metal or paper in their hands mint standing by them with a frown and crossed arms she said something to them before stomping off leaving the two blondes to let out some size of relief everything all right over here Cal asked as he in time walked over to them snap dragon and rosemary going to snap sage and Riles out of their funk you two look like you're working on [ __ ] quote dot dot dot yeah we are narut said with a nod as parsley hummed we learned some stuff and we're going to keep learning demon language time asked and he grinned with bright eyes more Yep demon language and sacred runes Naruto said that creates Andy spells spells that can deny effects of hexes and stuff I need to learn both of them he added as parsley chuckled I'm learning demon black smithing she said as Cal looked intrigued I it's not easy but I've been getting some cool ideas and stuff I need to speak with Mr flocks early tomorrow or tonight damn it feels like everyone else got something cool out of all of this the purple-haired boy huffed damn it nrk they ate dinner at a large table meanwhile sage and amarillis blinked at Naruto as he held his hands together dark red Flames swirled to life for a mere moment before falling away as he sighed what that's new amarus said slowly what did you guys learn man you were really out of it harsley said as Naruto nodded wincing a bit and you need to take it easy right now you just learned it I know I know he said as he ate some more hm pH what about you guys you sure you didn't learn anything hmph amarilla sighed as she looked at her bare wrists rubbing them I need to get new teros speres she said as Sage looked guilty nope blueberry the only reason we're alive is because I had to toss him well is that going to be hard Sage asked and the other Mage frowned I'll have to ask for it I'm not looking forward to that but my dad should be able to send me some without too much trouble I really need to send him a letter or something yeah I think I should send one my parents way too hmph we just fought a lot Rosemary said as she drank some water it was so tiring we need tons to eat she added as she tore through her soup as Snap Dragon pulled out a book he'd drawn the crab in it and put down notes about its weaknesses and strengths the creature at the end of it all I it looked so big and scary the ginger said with a shiver as he showed Naruto quote dot dot dot eh he Shrugged as the boy docked at him it honestly doesn't look that tough It's a giant arthropod time said as Naruto tilted his head I get that seriously I do but it honestly doesn't look as tough as you make it out to be I'm sure I could fight the thing myself he said without hesitation as the group looked at him oddly I know how much sense it sounds like I'm not making but that thing is slower than snail unless that's not true quote dot dot dot oh well Naruto would certainly have the speed Advantage harsley said as Cal raised a brow what you guys run from something had a race anything more fun than what we did he asked no we traveled over a ton of land in about 15 minutes she said as Rosemary and Sage blinked me and mint rode on her broom but Naruto beat us on foot we had to have gone over 10 miles and he basically kept ahead the whole time [ __ ] amarillis said as Naruto Shrugged it's really not I'd go on long runs all the time there's no point to my training if I'm not going hard besides I'd run through forests all the time as a kid over the past year I would travel back and forth to get water and stuff end to end all the time he said t that's kind of hard to believe Snapdragon said even as he was ODed by the boy he's trained for years and if what they said is true Naruto really could have handled the Giant Crab by himself still the crab the name of the monster likely has a powerful outer shell how would you get through it well for one I can use my renon it's incomplete but it's still powerful enough to handle what's basically a giant crab beetle thing besides its legs are clearly weak points he added a Snapdragon and looked at his drawing take those out and then it can't really move besides using its claws and stuff while that's true time began to say you could do it yourself is a bit much like I said I know how it sounds Nar said with a nod but but I have faith in my own abilities that thing isn't as tough as it looks to me Rosemary tilted her head a bit before nodding then do you think we could train she asked with embarrassment as Naruto nodded sure I'm up for training with anyone for the next 3 hours I still need to practice this hex stuff after nrk mint grimaced as she sat in the principal's office I see mature Triad said with a sigh I didn't think you all would be coerced into something like that she grimaced as her fellow Triad wore differing Expressions what do you both think it's D dangerous young Triad said in horror as mint sigh in relief why would he I I understand why he did it I do but this shouldn't have fallen on his shoulders mint nodded before grimacing at Elder Triad hmph it was the right thing to do she said in the student couldn't hold her tongue excuse me in what world is what he did any kind of right min growled as the old bitty smirked ma'am he you should have listened to that parsley girl she's right you lot couldn't have plann for it and now you've thrown in your hat with this tribe she said as mint froze and ped w Wait wait wait w what are you saying it's as it sounds mature Triad said with a sigh Naruto did the right thing and I fear you all are that tribe's Last Chance W wait what do you mean we're not even full Guardians yet mint couldn't believe what she was hearing and Yet full Guardians are the ones who caused this young Triad said with a deep frown we we can't let that Village be destroyed because of our people then why doesn't a guardian handle this because as the demon Chiefs said Elder Triad began the time it had take for a guardian to get there is simply not viable the tape young lady you of all the students understand how politics works right now we can apply for an Emergency entry mature Triad reassured her as mint slumped in her seat if we can get the kingk permission we could go as soon as 3 days mint frowned but sighed in understanding yes ma'am I know this is more stressful to you than we could imagine the mature one said with a motherly smile but rest assured you aren't wrong narut jumped into this when he should have told the truth but at the same time his heart is where it's supposed to be accepting responsibility is the right thing to do to help others isn't wrong especially ones who've nearly drowned in despair mint groaned as Elder Triad cackled still HEK approaching this correctly find all the strength you can muster take your advantages and apply them and never mind how you kind of lucked out the old woman said as mint frowned what do you mean Naruto is likely the strongest among your year young Triad said as mint blinked the only student who who comes close in combat prowess is aster and that boy wields Spirits wait what so Naruto was their best fighter T that doesn't sound right he's mixed between courses why would he still be the best when his focus is split well that's because he was likely already stronger than you all before he entered High Guardian Academy mature Triad considered and while he's not remotely as well off in his Mage aspects his way of combat out strips most second years even mint's eyes shot open in Surprise what that doesn't make sense s Sure even I have jumped a grade due to my esoteric skills I know many can when they show greater aptitudes but combat you'd be surprised Elder Triad cackled why if that Aster boy could actually use his family's so-called Spirit channeling well he'd probably be the best the son of the great Chris mint considered their words before a weight rested on her shoulder H H her head snapped around to see a smiling wyna so that's the situation honestly I think he and the two with him will be fine but just in case take some of these she said as she passed 3 C through stoppered vials with some kind of glowing liquid within garls aren't small prey but they're a solitary species and only attack on Fridays since that's the height of their power in a month she flicked out her hand and an image took form in the middle of the room mint bed at the monster form gnarled dark green wood curled around a demon-like creature with a powerful upper body that likely hovered over its front due to how long its middle section was its back legs were bull-like while its entire body was reminiscent of a monkeys it had a Wild Mane and each of its wrists was covered by spiked vines that freely curled and Unwound its face held a huge mouth while its ears were pointed its fists were also huge as its stubby back legs somehow supported this weird looking creat future that's a gnarl mint's mouth fell H how big is it hum about 50% bigger than the layered bus that travels across the lands to grab students wyna said is mint ped it's fine we promise besides we'll be sending hakone as your Watcher and didn't you tell us those two were learning new methods this shouldn't be as hard as you think she hoped so nrk he kept going before pushing up one last time that's 500 time said as she got off his back and removed the towel so Naruto could sit up you're really focused today the elf noted as she wiggled her toes on the cool grass outside the dorms she'd found Naruto out here training like no other and had joined in for a bit before working as his push-up weight thanks and yeah I'm prepping for Friday narut said as he jumped to his feet standing up next to time thanks he said as he pulled at the bottom of his shirt to rub his face green eyes flickered to a lean stomach that had ABS with light definition the eyes owner crossed her arms with slightly red cheeks thanks again Naruto said as they began to walk towards the dorms I got to start practicing those hexes all this week I'm going to be learning demon language he grinned in excitement as time humed wek be observing that crab again probably should circle around the forest to see if we can't get closer or how much area it covers time said as she saw Naruto's cuff he still wears that even now it was odd of course anyone could like jewelry she had a pair of earrings she always wanted to wear but couldn't do to not wanting the attention but Naruto never seemed to take that thing off it was a bit curious Naruto yeah I'm curious that gold cuff you always wear it she said getting straight to the point like always showering when you're clean dirty or even just during class do you like it that much narut blinked at that before smiling softly yes and there's another reason he said softly it's an illusion bracelet Naruto admitted and time's eyes widened as they stopped for what quote dot dot dot scars he admitted and she piled yeah it's not pretty the boy said jokingly but this was no laughing matter scars to be fair time always thought it was weird that she didn't see a lot of Naruto's scars even though he f thought got down and dirty and moved as much as he did he'd explained to them his previous training hell time remembered him saying he had lots of scars from the renon yet where were they and now she knows sorry no it's fine it's kind of nice to let someone know while not having my secret blown out of proportion Naruto folded his arms behind his head as he looked up at the night sky she followed suit and they watched the bright shining stars twinkle above quote dot dot dot it's beautiful time said quietly as she and Naruto smiled nighttime really is the best time of the day hey now I think a sunset or Sunrise is pretty awesome he shot back and she smirked because it reminds you of your reflection hey being the big ball of light that raises down Good Vibes sounds awesome The Sun Also causes heat stroke quote dot dot dot I mean she chuckled and they continued back to their dorms their minds on the future Adventures nrk so today we'll be starting our understanding of sacred runes or the Rune language in other parts carway said with a nod as the students opened their books Naruto looked down at his page full of characters that each had a word set of words descriptions and or photos the following day second class for him Sage time and amarillis being sacred languages now you all might not know this but runes didn't use to have the power they do today in the past they' just been another language but one day they gained power thanks to the usage of the language all around the world nowadays our current language is a mix of many different ones altogether wait really Naruto had to learn the language a year back hakon's tutelage wasn't faulty but he'd never really gotten why there were so many damn parts to this language with that runes became a specialized language that not many use outside of the newest form of magic runes are different Caraway grinned brightly it's similar to demon language and Elvish speak though comparatively it's a bit simpler due to how to construct a spell but far more unpredictable if you change a single letter you could go from a fire spell to a spell for warming your feet for now we'll be learning the 10 languages letters symbols and one of each Letter's meanings this week's aim is to form a run word that you understand down to a T Naruto looked at the alphabet before his eyes gained a determined gleam a rune word huh he needed one that at work to his Advantage nrk back in the Rotunda the group of battle ready students blinked as they found Professor caroway there H what happened narut asked before amarus and Sage blushed quote dot dot dot right he finger gunned at them gotcha welcome back the sacred languages teacher chuckled I hope you all don't mind if if I tag along for your tomb exploration W wait we're going back in there Sage boed yes despite the issue from last time that tomb has more than one entrance to it and that being won't be able to get to you all even if it does I'm here for protection quote dot dot dot you uh about that amarus rubbed the back of her head as he raised a brow I don't I tossed my teros speres so I won't be able to fight what do you mean you have runes don't you caroway said with a smile as amarus looked more embarrassed I know it's not easy but it's situations like this that you'll realize you need more than just a terrasphere he said before removing a book from off his waist and handing it to amarillis she hissed at the sight of it before hesitating um this is Sage's eyes widened I it's a rune spell book she gasped in a as amarillis paled it's one I made Caraway said as amarillis took the item as if it had hit her I've locked most of the pages so you can only view the defensive offensive and trap spells on the first three pages Snapdragon looked concerned as he walked over and rested a hand on amarillis's shoulder you all right he whispered and as Caraway spoke to the other Mage students the girl trembled I I don't want to use this she whispered as sage and the others looked alarmed at her horrified face I really can't amarillis Rosemary looked confused as she walked around to see the the book I don't get it why I mean I know you don't like old magic but I hate old magic amarillis hissed back and the whole group looked alarmed at the Venom in her voice I hate it I don't want to learn more about it not to be like that [ __ ] ryles Snapdragon said firmly and she flinched quote dot dot dot I I won't say anything you know I won't B but you're venting the group had watched as a purple Aura slipped off the short girl's form a building of energy that confused them Naruto's eyes widened riy can you use old magic he asked and she looked away quote dot dot dot all right I'm sorry I was just curious Cal looked surprised so what you didn't like it that's not something to get worked up about he said with a shrug as Sage sighed boys she grumbled quote dot dot dot if you want to talk about it I'm here Sage said to her as she sighed the short girl clipped the item on the side of her waistcloth the item locking in with a purple glow like she'd done this for years they were surprised as she looked down letun just go quote dot dot dot all right take it slow Rosemary said with a smile as she Pat her shoulders and S sorry quote dot dot dot hmph amarillis huff and snap dragon smiled as she rolled her eyes at him quote dot dot dot give me that she said as as she went behind him and took off his shield I'm going to use this thing as little as possible she grumbled then they watched her finger draw across the shield surface at incredible speeds lines of purple light forming a set of designs on it that flashed before shrinking to meet her needs God that's so weird she grimaced even as the group gaped at her quote dot dot dot what you never see Rune enchantments before wait no Naruto said with excitement as amarilla scratched her cheek right you and Smith girl over there want to make a magic sword or something yeah riy this is amazing parsley said with a look of excitement you have to help Naro in class that sounds like such an amazing skill and you look so good at it she blushed but scoffed quote dot dot dot f fine but don't expect some expert I'm not I'm really not I understand thanks seriously Nar bowed to her and she crossed her arms with a raised brow you know sometimes I question if you're of high birth or not you're way too polite amarillis said as Naruto grinned nervously tail wagging slowly behind him come on Sage we're going to be late even if I'm sure I don't want to then why Sage asked you want to go don't you quote dot dot dot thanks don't mention it watching the two go the group humped she must have had a hard life Nar said Softly As Time nodded I didn't think she had an actual reason for disliking old magic this is surprising she said as they looked at Snapdragon who rubbed the back of his head like I said I won't tell her Secrets but she's basically like us time remember that was all he said and time nodded come on let's go we'll see you all later Snapdragon said as he and Naruto bumped fists take it easy it seems we've all got things to work through don't I know it sending the group off as he had before Naruto clenched his painful hand in determination as he in parsely walked towards the waiting mint quote dot dot dot I don't like this but the principles and Miss dretch said this is the only way she explained to them the two blondes looking surprised for a moment before they nodded then let's make sure to help them Naro said no failures parsley added mint hesitated before nodding I've got some healing water it's very scarce right now so don't make me waste it on you 2 hours later they left their portals with far lighter Expressions well all of them save for amarillis who gave Snapdragon back his shield before she shivered rubbing her biceps with a frown all right you all did well today caroway said with a smile as Sage side in relief come on now they were only low-level apparitions why several years back I ended up fighting on a team of Guardians and we fought a ghost demon it was fun the Mage students groaned Snapdragon let out a sigh of relief as he sat down on the ground rolling his shoulder Tigers there were Tigers he moaned and grumbled why yeah Rosemary swallowed as she brushed off her skirt a bit at the side bitten through vampire Tigers don't remind me Cal rubbed his neck and looked off to the side why did they also spit poison it was stupid the two said in agreement why did they spit poison you guys certainly went through an experience Naruto said with an exhausted look a notebook and a smaller leatherbound book underarm still I bet you got good training out of it parsley chuckled beside him the dwarf holding on to a pair of black bars over her left shoulder while a similar leatherbound book sat in her opposite arms hand over her forehead a pair of goggles sat as she looked at time the elf had a bandaged up bicep while sporting some sweat compared to her drenched comrades you all right she asked as mint walked off that looks a bit rough yeah well I got scratched by a poison spitting vampire tiger the elf said with a straight face as Naruto and parsa's faces Twisted into confusion don't please don't ask Al a all right the dwarf grinned nervously before nodding come on letun go clean up the group left like that the walk to the locker rooms that they'd started going to to keep close to their classes allowed them to decompress and groan walking down a set of stairs by the door leading towards the yard the boys and girls parted at a pair of locker rooms with them being the first ones there Naruto Cal and Snapdragon could disrobe in Comfort o www Snapdragon rolled his shoulder I'm more sure now than ever that I need that Shield you tanked it like a champ don't be a [ __ ] Cal said as he dropped all his torso armor before pulling off his top you might want to come without one more often seems like you'd learn faster Snapdragon groaned before blushing a bit muttering as he kept his back to Naruto and Cal while depositing his armor into his locker he zipped down the front of his jumpsuit and stepped out in his white shirt and gray boxers the sound of rustling behind him caused the lanky boy's head to turn a bit to see his blonde friend Naruto put his combat wear away into his locker and Snapdragon could see his body in full save for his green boxers lean defined and strong were the words that came to mind when he saw him his tail moved slowly behind him as he picked up his weapons from the bench and put them away as well before running over to the wall opposite of the lockers to grab a trio of towels from the Shelf he came over before tossing his friends one each hum Naro stretched before getting rid of his boxers and tossing them into his locker Snapdragon had turned around before that happened shaking his head God that's not it he took off his shirt slowly lifting his chest a bit for more surface area before looking at Cal and choking as the other boy walked behind him as the day he was born with his towel over his shoulder the boy was defined as much as he could be for his age yet not as Rippling a Snapdragon remembered his father being C's frame more natural to his form like Naruto's muscles had been powerful thighs biceps and a powerful core his musculature fit his image of the boy's fighting style and of of course he saw his junk he turned back around feeling embarrassed and inadequate no wonder ease Snapdragon blushed harder before shaking his head as he heard The Telltale sounds of Rushing Water you're not on that side of the fence he reminded himself as he heard the sounds of the other students [ __ ] he whispered in horror and potential embarrassment he disrobed and ran into the shower on Naruto's left side Cal occupying the one in front of the blonde stall quickly closing the curtain and turning on the water as loud as he could the feel of the heat getting a jump out of him before he quickly changed the temperature he sighed in relief so snap how are you holding up narut asked him as the ginger heard the sounds of scrubbing quote dot dot dot I am trying my best Snapdragon responded as he picked up a nearby sponge and lathered it up with a bar of soap it's it's so scary he said as he began to scrub his arm I I I cut into something's head a and and its head juice got all over my face aing snap the orange-haired boy jumped snapped out of his revery s sorry hmph Cal scoffed you're dealing with the literal fact you took another living being's life hell you did that today he said as Snapdragon shivered I is it supposed to be like this I it was just an animal one that was going to kill me so w why it's because you understand what it means for something to lose its life not arudo said Softly As a soft crack reached their ears ah SS is not wanting to kill isn't wrong but when it's down to the wire and you know you've done nothing wrong you had to come to the decision of its life or your own it's not wrong to want to live snap dragon's head fell as he felt warmer around his eyes quote dot dot dot I quote dot dot dot don't be a baby it's going to happen Cal inserted we're going to kill one day I'm sure of that because we're here to protect you can't protect without getting your hands bloodied it's been that way for my family for Generations Cal no do not get mushy on me I'm not here to talk about feelings and rough [ __ ] you just need to grow up go out there and actually experience life go get laid Cal Snapdragon blushed bright red choking on the oncoming water as Cal cackled seriously are you too even attracted to women I I am I just don't go around talking like that Nar said with a slight stutter besides I have way too much stuff on my plate and it's our second week I'm really not thinking about that fair so how about this Cal leaned over the stall so they could see his wicked smirk a wet rag over his eyes as he snorted out with it y cowards which one do you think is the hottest Naruto burned bright red along with Snapdragon w Wait D dude come on nope out with it Uzumaki I want to know which part of the spectrum you're on Snap burned brighter quote dot dot dot I I don't really know he said unsurely as Cal looked at him with a raised brow how do you not know dude it's liking girls not a in Formula I I just don't all right I've f for me I never really had a crush and I'm not gay he said before Cal could open his mouth oh okay I know I like women generally I see them a and get embarrassed sometimes L like when you were talking about Rosemary's s skirt he burned like a candle huh would you look at that what about you C's head turned back to Naruto who huffed and don't try that I don't know [ __ ] I can sense it on you out with it Naruto grunted rolling his arms as he washed his golden cuff quote dot dot dot this never leaves this room yes Deets my dude quote dot dot dot CH times got nice long legs Naruto said quickly a snap gasped a bit quote dot do dot s Sage 2 go on Cal said with a growing grin as the blonde blushed more D damn it Cal tisk oh okay so Rosemary's energy I do like that amarillis has such a powerful personality snap it's interesting Snapdragon considered that yeah she does hell yeah she a woman who knows what she's after Cal said with a perverted grin come on that last one narut sighed the hardest on this one quote dot dot dot a and parcelas just incredible in a weird way he admitted quietly as they heard the boys in the locker room okay she's confident funny good with family kind a and he tucked in closer to the corner of his staff her chest guys it's hard to not look at it Cal whistled while snapping Dragon remembered that body part and burned as the visual bounced in his head oh oh God he whispered in awe as Naruto nodded yeah that's how I am all right I see I see we learned a lot today Cal grinned as he snickered take pointers Snappy this is what a lust filled goon looks like oi are you one to talk narut said as the other boys came into the room hum what happened came a familiar slow tone of voice Nar o blinking as he peaked out of his curtains to see that one guy he caught in his arms that one time Haya bud how's life quote dot dot dot sorry I don't know your name H it's slime boy Snapdragon peaked out of his curtain in confusion slime boy he asked in confusion why yeah it's what everyone calls me you know I like it slime and boy it's concise you sound like you're on good [ __ ] Cal said as Carnell hid to the side looking at him with a tilt of the head you Holden my family runs a terrasphere shop not what I meant but you do you he said before going back down into his stall for now I've got egging material Snapdragon and Naruto groaned in unison nrk the group found themselves not just the warrior course students but all freshmen under the care of hakone the group wearing their gym uniforms take up a weapon of your choice whether it be your own or one you want to try out from the rack the black man said as the groups went to it before he found Naruto in front of him his Combat Uniforms gauntlets on oh it's been a while since we went at it in hand-to-hand combat the blonde boy said as the man nodded the two walking off to the side it' be a nice refresher to spar with you again letun set everyone else up and then we'll have it it Nar grinned before Father and Son went about coaching the students some to the weird acceptance of Nar quote dot dot dot amarillis it's a Rapier not a sword narut said with a sweat drop as the girl hacked at her straw dummy with the Rapier time and time again I'm venting she declared as she whipped it across the dummy's Torso scoring a light cut SC C amarillis gasped for a bit narut chuckled so you were trying to slash it yeah nothing deters a bastard like good Cuts all right Snapdragon said from beside her with a nervous smile the boy slicing into a wooden dummy only for his axe to be caught on the shoulder of the puppet hm P hm P he pulled back on it with as much strength as he could muster before tossing himself backward Naruto catching him in the nick of time a a bit too much way too much you're going too hard remember you don't have chopping strength yet so work on slicing for now Nar said as he borrowed the axe it's all about arcs slash speed and pull back he said as he demonstrated with seemingly little effort snap dragon's eyes watching how the tougher boy arms swept back with the axe to return to an at the ready Battle Stance see what I mean why yeah I think I do he nodded with Viger as Naruto handed him his weapon okay ARS speed pull back he tried and smiled as the weapon slashed against the dummy's chest before getting stuck sorry he said but Nar chuckled you can pull on it he said and snap dragon blink before doing so finding the weapon dislodging with ease it's all about the stroke Naruto said as amarillis cackled pervertedly I bet it the two blushed before the blonde rolled his eyes come on do you want to use a Rapier or is it just what you picked up the ladder a quick trip to the racks and Snapdragon skin fell a color as amarillis returned with both a shortsword and a whip he he she giggled maniacally yes are you sure about that he asked Naruto who chuckled nervously it's the best suited to her style he found the words as amarillis put down the sword first of course she would narut realized in horror before the sound of Rapid whipping had him and snap stepping back on principle yes yes yes she cackled like the witch she was I feel alive quote dot dot dot good luck with that narut said with a fake grin as he sled out of frame she's all yours w Wait no don't leave me with Snappy Snapdragon balls jumped into his throat oh [ __ ] the end do now we will see you in the next
