The three starts to tell to Skull Razor Steel about their fated meeting with the young lad, she was truly amazed to the young lad because he manage to take Blue Dragon to become her student, because Blue Dragon is very hard to deal with, often stubborn and aloof to others, Blue Dragon can be seen reliable in every mission, because she knew what to do and don’t, even though she always work in solo.

The most interesting part is the explanation of Void Sanctuary about her dreams and vision of him, this revelation of Void Sanctuary made their eyes widen and make them truly stun and shock, often Void Sanctuary tell them his heroic deeds while hiding in his villain persona, she didn’t tell them his miserable and sorrowful past, because it is very sensitive and the young lad needs some privacy too.

Immortal Empress of The Snow shared her story of him, how the young lad did disappears in a blink of an eye from the crowd, Void Sanctuary and Blue Dragon can tell that his dark and grim power is truly amazing to extent, as for Skull Razor Steel, she was totally impressed in the young lads capabilities and his villainous yet pure will to help humanity, her curiosity deepens about the young lad.

An hour pass and suddenly the young lad gain his consciousness and find himself in the bed, at his forehead, healing herbs wrapped in a thin line cloth that sooths his headache, Blue Dragon suddenly delighted and Void Sanctuary felt at ease as if the thorns in her heart is been removed, Immortal Empress of The Snow remain tranquil as ever, but deep inside, she is happy to see this mysterious guy well now.

“Teacher! I’m glad you are fine” Blue Dragon immediate greeting, the young lad still remain stoic as ever.

“I’m sorry,,, I made you worry” he replied in low tone, he really feel ashamed of what happen earlier.

“No need to apologize teacher, your student knows how hard you work to nurture me to become a dependable War Maiden, but still, do not push yourself too much, I can’t bear to see you suffered” Blue Dragon said as a small tear drops falls from her eyes.

“T-thank you” he said as he then get up from the bed and tidying up the bed in very fast yet cool manner, he then sat on the bed.

“Are you feeling well now?” Void Sanctuary asks as she approaches the young lad.

“Probably,,, still not getting move on,,, from nightmares of the past” he said as he made a deep sigh.

“I see, I know how you feel right now, even the odds are great and doesn’t favor you, you still rising up for the challenge thrown to you” Void Sanctuary speak with deep concern as she lean closer to him.

“Looks like it was true after all that you yearning for your dream boy, miss Void Sanctuary” Skull Razor Steel chuckled as she gives a thumbs up for Void Sanctuary.

“Well nothing more, nothing less” She said as she then hug the young lad, making Blue Dragon somewhat feel strange about it, something telling her mind to pull out the young lad from Void Sanctuary and take him away from her andvances.

“Once again,,, I thank you all for your hospitality,,, and kindness for such as I,,, uhmm” he spoke as he look to the rest.

“Skull Razor Steel, War Maiden and secretary of this home building quarters of War Maidens” Skull Razor Steel introduced, she then crossed her hands and let her ample chest rest on it.

“Immortal Empress of The Snow, we have met before in the parade yesterday although it’s un-official meet-up” Immortal Empress of The Snow introduced and smiled.

“Where are my manners, teacher, your loyal student, Blue Dragon” Blue Dragon introduced finally.

“I have no name,,, feel free to name me,,, whatever you like” The young lad replied as he sweep his gaze to all pretty ladies present in front of him.

“Should we call you Crow?” Void Sanctuary said as she then lean her head closer to the young lad’s ear, causing Blue Dragon to have a flustered face, Blue Dragon suddenly felt wrong in her.

“Then crow is it” The young lad let the new address “Crow” as his set identity.

“Crow huh? Not bad” Skull Razor Steel said as she then sits on her bed.

“Now then Sir Crow, how did you meet Blue Dragon in the first place, this young lady is uhh,,,” Skull Razor Steel speak boldly but cut.

“Skull Razor Steel you meanie! Stop!” Blue Dragon immediate jump in the questioning, afraid of the word may come out from her comrade’s lips.

“Training spot” The young lad replied as he then stand from his bed and walk closer to Blue Dragon, the three nods in response from his answer, he notice something wrong in his student.

Seeing him walking closer, Blue Dragon become more tenser and tenser than she can hold, faint blushing turn into beetled red, her complexion is starting to disarray, she is visibly nervous as she heard each step of the young lad resonates in her ear, she is truly confused to the fullest, she doesn’t even know where to put her hands or how should she stand in normal way.

When the young lad face her, he can see her blushing face that almost about to release a steam in any second, the three look at him to see what he would do to the flustered Blue Dragon, within a flash, the young lad squeeze the both skin of rib sides of Blue Dragon tucked in her dress and tickles her to the max, making the beetled red lady start to laugh and her complexity and nervousness gone away in an instant.

“Well,,, she seems right,,, about squeezing these part,,, to release all the nervousness” he spoken as he then release Blue Dragon from tickling her sides.

“T-teacher,,, you,,, I didn’t know you are naughty” Blue Dragon replied as she gain her composure and weeping her tears of joy and feel a little embarrass at the moment.

“Just want you,,, to relax and release,,, all your tension,,, no maliciousness” He replied as he then put his hands in his waist.

“Ah, I see,,, so that was it” Void Sanctuary said as she chuckled at the side.

“T-thank you” Blue Dragon speak in low tone voice, she understand now and her complexion change to truly full of gratitude to the young lad.

“Well,,, the training is not over yet,,, let’s get back,,, to the scratches” he said as he then walk to the door.

“Yes” Blue Dragon replied

“Sir Crow, can we join too?” Skull Razor Steel said with keen of interest, this shocks everyone except the young lad.

“Miss Skull Razor Steel, are you sure about that?” Immortal Empress of The Snow speaks as her eyes look directly to Skull Razor Steel.

“You’ve gotta be kidding me, you are just merely jesting right?” Void Sanctuary said in disbelief to Skull Razor steel, this girl what is her true motives?

“I’m serious, I just want to see how sir Crow train our hard working comrade, isn’t it fine, Sir Crow?” Skull Razor Steel speaks with a clear smug in her face.

“This,,,” Blue Dragon speak with a hint of surprise in the actions of Skull Razor Steel, the young lad just nod in response.

“Follow me” The young lad spoke as he move outside the room, the four beautiful maidens tailed him.

All their eyes are focus on the back of the young lad, often he have a small stature, his built was quiet robust and well trained, his posture will tell everyone that he is more than meets the eye and not just a simple young man stature, as they follow, they were quiet surprised to see that he is not walking to the outside of the War Maiden Building quarters but to the building’s main training hall, how did he figured out the way there?

“It seems,,, that you are suspicious,,, how did I knew the place” He spoke, as he trailed his destination, the four stops.

“You notice, I admit it yes, this is very big building with complex hall way and yet you manage to locate our training hall” Skull Razor Steel talk as she look to the young lad.

“The Eye of The Void” He replied, making Void Sanctuary more shock, the skillets he used similar to her.

“You have also had it?” Void Sanctuary finally talk again, she was surprised a little bit though.

“Coincidence or not,,, only God knows” He answered and continue to walk, the four followed.

After a few walks through the complex hall way, they sooner reach the training hall, it was a coliseum to be exact, few knights can be seen sitting there and eating and talking, there are also few mages and other knights, they are watching the two beautiful ladies fighting at the center, every one of the viewer’s eyes are locked to the two, they are studying the combat capabilities of the two pretty ladies fight.

The young lad sense it already, they are War Maidens, two of them, another hot shots, he just take a deep breath and then move down stairs to the coliseum, some of the knights watching and eating at the side notice him, they was surprise to see such young man walking leisurely in this special training grounds, but what is more shocking for them, four War Maidens are tailing him, his distance to them is a little bit closer, even one of the knights dropped his bread in shock.

“Oh look, Lady Storm Raiser and Envoy of The Midnight have a sparring ehehehe~” Void Sanctuary said as she point the two War Maiden exchanging blows.

The first one is the pale grey ashen dressed girl whom the young lad meet days ago back in the food stall, she is with the three, she still have a stoic personality as always, she has a static charge dual scimitar, her sparring partner has a long white hair with violet ends, she have a flower decorated hair pin as it bun tighten at her hair, small flower tubes at her side lock can be seen, she is dressed in elegant blue violet kimono with a sparkling designs at each side that seems impression of the night as it cover her ample chest and curvaceous body.

Her Kimono have also have a detached sleeves with nightly decorations and hung ups moon and star gemstone at the end, she is also have floating blue violet linen cloth that encircle in her upper arm closer to her armpit and shoulders, she is wearing a pair of black stockings and a pair of blue sparkling sandals, at her left hip, a decorated blue scabbard strapped in her waist, at her right hand, a shining silver Katana with a flower imprinted images can be seen in its body, the handle is colored blue with yellow gemstone decoration attach at the handle’s end.

Both are elegant and in equal footing, both of their eyes are studying each other, waiting for the one who will attack first, it was then a deep silence, the katana shines like a stars in the night suddenly return to its scabbard, the dual scimitar are sparkling electricity to the ground, viewers eye sights become more focus, who will win this fight, the young lad smirked, as if he notice something from their battle stances.

“Teacher, is there something wrong?” Blue Dragon asks as she comes closer to the Young lad.

“The battle is already decided,,,, lady Envoy of The Midnight will win,,, watch closely” he replied as he then sit at the side.

Blue Dragon shifted her gaze to the Storm Raiser, suddenly it charge a great lightning charge momentum burst straight directly to Envoy of The Midnight, Envoy of The Midnight just smiled and then her left hand grip to her scabbard and her right hand in the handle of her blade, she then close her eyes and charge a powerful energy within her body, few seconds as the charge lightning will hit her.

“Lady Storm Raiser is holding,,, herself back from going,,, all out,,, game over” The young lad finishes.

Envoy of The Midnight release her blade from its scabbard with powerful force, dashing in blinking speed as her katana blade cut through the lightning charge, dissipates the deadly static and as her sharp pointy blade tip is a little bit closer to the neck of Storm Raiser, the scimitar falls into the ground as the lighting charges made a few sparks and then burst into the thin air.

“She knew how powerful that,,, Lighting Rail gun like charges on hit,,,, but she manage to poke,,, and slice it’s source power,,, at exact time,,, very crafty” Young lad comment as he then stand again from his seat and then walk closer to the arena and Blue Dragon and the crew followed him, the two War Maidens that have a mock fight shakes hands and congratulate each other, satisfaction can be seen in their face as if the battle is just a testing of their abilities.

He then walk and Blue Dragon and others follow him, as they walking down from the marble like stair case of the arena pavement, the two War Maidens easily notice them, they was surprise to see them, but what is more surprising is they saw a black coated stranger walking with Blue Dragon, they knew that Blue Dragon doesn’t like to interact with others, even if is also a War Maiden.

“It seems the first time I’ve saw you having interact with others besides Lady Immortal Empress of The Snow, once in a life time, Blue Dragon-senpai” Envoy of The Midnight Greeting to her senior, Blue Dragon nods as a response and shifted her gaze back to the Young lad in her front.

“So cold as ever, not even give a greet for your junior” Storm Raiser said with mocking tone, as she picked her dual scimitar.

“It’s none of your business to pry in my own terms of matter” Blue Dragon coldly snorted.

“Tch, this prick truly gets my nerves” Storm Raiser said in irritated manner as she then disperse her scimitar in a flash, she then look to the Young Lad.

“Call me Crow,,, Blue Dragon’s Mentor” he spoke as the eye of Storm Raiser and Envoy of The Midnight locks onto him.

“Blue Dragon-senpai’s mentor? I see, I’m Envoy of the Midnight, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Crow-dono” Envoy of The Midnight speak introduced herself in well manner.

“So this loner have a mentor, ufufufu~ I’m Storm Raiser, pleasure to be your acquaintance and thank you for looking over for our lone wolf here” Storm Raiser ridicules and introduces herself as she looking down on Blue Dragon.

“You!” Blue Dragon can’t take anymore of mocking of Storm Raiser as she drawn her Odachi Blade from its scabbard.

About to unsheathed her long blade but suddenly the young lad touch her right hand and smiled, Blue Dragon suddenly stop and stare blankly to her mentor, she then understand what’s his meaning, she then put back her blade and stood straight and will try to enduring the taunts of Storm Raiser, she don’t want to make a fuss that leaves a distasteful manner and unpleasant scene to her beloved mentor.

“As they say,,,, words are very deadly than blades,,, please let her have a time of silence” The young lad start to speak as he then made a hand signal to Blue Dragon, the latter notice and then heed to him at haste.

“My bad, sorry about that sir Crow, my greatest apologize, please let’s just forget this unsightly matter” Storm Raiser replied with un-sincere tone, as she made a ridiculing smile at Blue Dragon.

Blue Dragon clenched her fist as she keep hiding her animosity towards Storm Raiser, if her mentor isn’t here, she already teach this arrogant War Maiden of her piece of mind, thus keeping her hold back her furiously rage towards to Storm Raiser, the young lad then move to the middle area of arena as the other bystander watch them and to see what will happen.

“Student,,, although we have,,, a sudden delay earlier,,, I hope that you are still ready” young lad spoke as he summon a spectral blade at his right hand and then struck it to the ground, using his hellish dark power flow to the blade, violet lightning sparks appeared and hit the ground.

“I’m always prepared teacher! I will not fail your expectations” Blue Dragon boldly replied as she then prepared her blade.

“Heheheh~ looks interesting!” Storm Raiser smirked as her eyes focus to the two.

“They are starting, I want to witness their training in order to learn” Envoy of The Midnight muttered as she keen her gaze to the two.

“They are starting now” Void Sanctuary talks at the side.

“Indeed, I want to witness how capable sir crow can be to see how he shaped the character of Blue Dragon to his own discourse” Skull Razor Steel speaks as a hint of interest can be seen in her face.

“Seeing how delightful she is, he seems very important to her” Immortal Empress of The Snow added and then look on the two.

Suddenly the young lad raised his sword high as it point to the ceiling of the training ground, the violet lightning sparks reaches the ceiling and form a wide circle runic symbol, suddenly spectral sword forms and sprout out of the wide runic symbol pointed to the exact position of Blue Dragon, everyone was amaze to see this kind of grimiest power, Blue Dragon concentrate her power to her senses as she saw numerous lines pointing to her coming from the swords above.

“Master your sense,,, danger is everywhere,,, you and your blade,,, will be one in this cruel test” The young lad finishes and then point his spectral sword to Blue Dragon, commands his runic circle blade infused magic to rain down to Blue Dragon with no mercy.

“Let’s dance!” Blue Dragon roar as the spectral blades starting to strike her down, she swung her blade in superhuman speed, breaking, deflecting, parrying all the sharp spectral blades that might be impaled her to death, everyone become nervous of might what happen next.

“This man?” Immortal Empress of The Snow frowns as she watches Blue Dragon dancing in a dangerous fandango.

“Savage!” Strom Raiser chuckled as she watches Blue Dragon struggling to survive in the rain of blades.

“This!” Envoy of The Midnight was shocked to see the brutal test of the young lad.

“He gonna kill her!” Skull Razor Steel shrieked as she then makes a move to stop the dangerous antics of the two.

“Wait” Void Sanctuary stop Skull Razor Steel; she seems notice something in Blue Dragon’s frenzied expression, she seems enjoyed it.

Everyone, from knights to mages and War Maidens, they can’t help but to gasp and frightened in the scene that they’ve witness, the young lad just rained his student with dangerous blades while Blue Dragon just waltzing and defending herself from the deadly and cruel fate of being impaled by these dangerous sword, only arm with her enhanced perception and lucky stroke, but how long she can hold on? No one knows.

“Riddle of a real occurrences,,,, how will you,,, survive the death’s dance,,, tell me student” young lad spoke as he summon more spectral sword runic circle in different directions and positions.

“Do not let the fear eats your whole being, pierce through the darkness and find the light!” Blue Dragon answered as she then unleashes countless slashes in different directions, dismantling all the impending death impales.

“Good,,, answer me,,, which never seen,,, never touch,,, holds the cycle of human life?” young lad riddles again as he then summon another batch of runic circles and fire another round of spectral swords to Blue Dragon, some sword manage to score a hit as it wedge the outermost skin of the young lady.

“Soul!” Blue Dragon answered as she shrugged all the blades and endure the sharp pain in her skin.

“Awaken your true self,,, face your inner demons,,, dance with the carnage,,, and redeem your power,,, what is the answer?” The young lad asks again some riddle.

“Will to live!!!” she answered as she blinking in inhuman speed to destroy the entire runic circle in a flash.

She then land in a very fast momentum, thus she is like a meteor that falls to earth as a sound and eruption of crashing landing and formation of smoke screen in the spot where she lands, the young lad disperse his power and then heed to Blue Dragon’s direction, on the other side, Blue Dragon swing her odachi blade in full throttle and clear the smoke out of her way.

“You’ve pass” A finishing word coming from the young lad, everyone become dumbstruck, silence clouded the whole training coliseum.
