“Alright everyone, let’s meet tomorrow at Big Sis Brake’s Destroyer, aight?” I say as I leave the locker room with everyone in it.

“Sure, Sir Dan!”

I take my leave and begin to make my way outside the stadium.

“Yo kid! I saw your kids today, they performed pretty well.” Big brother Sam who was standing outside the stadium with Shirogane says.

“Yeah! Papa Dan’s students were pretty cool!” Shirogane says with a huge smile on her face.

“Dan?” I look at Carly who is waiting out here too.

“Someone you know?” Big brother asks me.

“That’s Carly big brother.” I say pointing my thumb towards Carly.

“What?! That’s Sir Jake’s daughter?!” Big brother seems to be surprised.

“Is it okay if we walked together, Brother Sam?” Carly asks Big brother.

“What?!” Big brother whispers in my ears, “Is she asking me out?!”

Big brother Sam has definitely got the wrong idea.

“Absolutely not! That’s my girl, brother!” I say as I show the X mark with my hands.

Carly chuckles, “Brother Sam, why would I call you brother if I was asking you out? Plus, I would have straight out rejected you because you love Miss Brake and I love Dan, that’s quite simple.” Carly says with a smile.

“HUH?! You two are a thing?!” I am not surprised at my brother’s reaction.

“Yeah, we are a thing.” I say as I look at my big brother.

“When did my Little Dan grow up and become such a playboy?!” Big brother asks me.

“Huh?! Playboy?!” This is quite surprising.

“Don’t you remember? You have already bought a girl at your house and also slept with her?” Big brother asks me.

“What?! She was my student and I didn’t sleep with her! You are giving Carly the wrong idea!” I say.

“Dan.” There was just a single word that I heard from the side as I looked at Carly’s terrifying smile.

“Who might this girl that your brother speaks of be?” Carly asks.

“He’s talking about Izumi and I swear we don’t have that kinda relati-“

Carly sticks her head with mine, “Even if you like that girl, remember, I am your main girl.” Carly says with an evil smirk.

“Eh?!”

Carly let me go? I am confused here. Wouldn’t the words of my brother imply I am cheating?!

“She has a lot of trust in you, huh? Quite a rare sight. If I bought a girl home, Brake will literally break me to pieces.” Big brother whispers with a smile.

I am totally confused now.

“Sir Dan, I never expected you to still be here.” Three bunch of kids, huh?

I know them, they are from my class.

The one of the left with braided black hairs and nerd like glasses, she’s Brenna Jave. She’s the one whom I assigned the Tree of Diana.

The one next to her with a huge height and pony-tail is Martin Rivers, he is the guy who I had given the Tree of Achelous.

The Final person is the guy with funky colorful hair Brian Romans, he is the one who I gave the Tree of Achilles.

“You three? I never expected that my students would come out here to see me.” I say with a smile.

“Don’t joke around, we never did plan to come and see you. You were just in the way.” Brian says.

“Is that so? Sorry to disappoint you but as a teacher, I will always be in your way and guide you in the right way. Is that wrong?” I ask.

“Not at all but you aren’t our teacher currently. You are just a substitute until Sir Tarand defeats you.” Martin says.

“What if I defeated him?” I question.

“You won’t be able to. He’s too strong for you.” Brenna says.

“Is that so?”

“That’s right, trash like you are easily swiped outta here by Sir Tarand.” Brian says.

*Swish*

I sensed Carly’s intention of attacking them and stop her.

*Swoop*

I keep my hand in front of Carly, “Dan...”

“I will be heading home now.” I say with a smile. Of course, a fake one.

If I didn’t stop Carly...It would have been a nightmare for those three.

XXXXXX

Anyways, we make our way home.

Carly takes a different route from ours since her home is through the merchant’s den, “Alright, see you later, Carly.” I say.

“Say Dan...Is this how everyone treats you at the academy?” Carly asks me.

“You have seen my students, right Carly?” I ask.

Carly nods.

“As long as even a single student has trust in me, I am fine.” I say with a smile.

“Are you sure?” Carly asks me.

“Yeah...And as long as I...”

She’s close and she is standing right in front of me...Her lips...Now that I think about it...

“I see...” Carly says.

Carly gives a smile. She pushes her butt out and keeps a hand on her lips getting close to me, “Don’t you want to kiss me again and this I mean really kiss me, Dan?” Carly asks me.

“Huh?!” What’s with her all of sudden?!

“Pfft!” Carly laughs.

“WHAT?!”

“You have become all red. I won’t be kissing you in front of your brother.” Carly says as she chuckles, “But I won’t mind kissing you right now either if you want me to. After all, I am your girlfriend. So I can do anything you want me to.” Carly says with a smirk as she walks away.

I definitely have to work on my take the initiative skill when it comes to love.

XXXXXX

I stop right around the corner...My heart is racing! I don’t know what I was saying to Dan!

What’s wrong with me?! I sounded like a pervert! Just thinking about it makes me embarrassed!

“Do anything you want me?!” What am I thinking?! How can I say something like that?! Love is crazy! Quite crazy!

XXXXXX

Big brother and I reach the house with Shirogane. I change my clothes and sit in the kitchen. I bought food from a restaurant since I don’t wanna be tired for tomorrow.

I fed Shirogane and made her fall asleep.

I sit in the kitchen after that again with my brother, “That Carly chick, she’s one helluva girl. She was ready to save your ass when those guys were looking down on you.” Big brother says to me.

“She’s always been like that.” I say as I eat.

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Big brother asks me.

“Hmm?”

“Most of the ladies wanna take advantage of us men but she was ready to go down with her fists if you didn’t stop her.” Big brother laughs.

“It almost reminds me of Brake.” Big brother says with a smile.

“Well, big sis Brake is an ideal big sister figure for me and she is well suited for you too.” I say.

“You know, even though you love Carly and all, you should consider the feelings of other girls too. That student of yours whom I bought here, you might not realize it now but she loves you too.” Big brother says to me.

“Huh?! What are you saying, big brother? That’s an impossible thing you said. She doesn’t love me...At least I don’t think so.” I say as I look away.

Izumi and love me? That’s so not something I can think of...

“Anyways, you have a tournament tomorrow, get some sleep. I will wash the dishes off.” Big brother says.

I nod.

Tomorrow is an important day, the first versus match of the tournament will be held tomorrow. The rules are simple whichever draw the King draws, they will be facing them and it will randomly be decided whether the matches will be one versus one or two versus two. I can’t wait to see how much all my kids have improved.

For now, I am going to sleep!
