''Alright students, that's all for now. Tomorrow we'll study of Althinaia History and about Anchore-''

''Teacher.. Aren't we already know about that?" One student raised his hand to ask question.

Mr. Black shakes his head and put his both hand behind him and walked around as he gathered all attention and looked up with ridicule smile.

''No, that's just a public opinion. There is still more you didn't understand. For example, did you know that your Academy is a Kingdom Castle? With it's King, beautiful Princess, brave Knight, and thousand army?''

''Are those the principal and his daughter?'' Another students raised their hand.

''...Who knows, if you want to know come to this classroom again tommorow. Alright, see you again~~"

After telling his student about tomorrow agenda, mr.Black ignored the questions thrown to him and walked out the class.

Then one student, a girl with long brown hair acting as a leader and instructed the others, they starting to packing and leave the classroom. Tachibana seeing something different from Arya tilt her head and starting to approach him. But before she said something, Arya stand up from his seat and leave the dumdfounded Tachibana behind.

*****

In the middle of noisy canteen, Alicia, Charles, and Edward have a private conversation. The topic was the one beside them, the confused Arya that always changing his atmosphere since they meets in the canteen after school. At first he looks down like blaming himself, but after that he raise his head with look of resolution and after that he sigh and down again, and keep changing like that.

Alicia moved her head and whispered Edward beside her. ''Erm... Edward, what happened to Arya?''

''Who knows, he is already like that since on the room right Charles?'' Edward shrugged and glanced at Charles.

''Y-yes.. I didn't understand why...'' Charles shake his head.

''But... he looks so down, you didn't know the reason?'' Alicia turned her attention to Edward who frowned and said in concern.

''I am not Esper you know... but, he look scary like this...''

''Y-yes... I never seen he look like this before.. when I calling him in the school after he get out of his classroom, he's already like that...''

''Isn't something happened?''

''Who knows...Wait, Charles tell me. When he out of the room, is there someone behind him or someone that trying to follow him?''

''Hmm..? Ah, you are right, there is a beautiful red haired girl after Arya leave his classroom. But, what of it?''

''I see, I understand why... this is just and only reason...'' Edward nodded his head in realization.

'''What is it..??''' Alicia and Charles showed a curious face.

''...He... He is rejected by a girl, a girl prob... whaa...''

'''Eeh....!?'''

When Edward said his conclusion a fork flying and almost hit his face but he dodge it, the culprit, Arya already prepare a 3 forks in his hand.

''What did you say!? I can hear you, idiot!'' Arya glared and ready to throw the forks.

''Damn you Arya, what are you doing!?'' Edward grabbed a empty trays as a shield while glaring at Arya behind it.

''Your fault, when did you get that idea?'' A glaring contest sparked between Arya and Edward for a few moment before Edward sighed.

''So why did you have that mixed expression?''

''That's.... sigh, I didn't feels hungry this time. I'll back first.''

Edward trying to ask Arya but he also sighed and stand up, after said his goodbye Arya started leaving.

''What with him?'' Alicia stand up while looking at Arya back.

''Sigh, leave him alone for now Alicia, the best way when men felt depresed was to find a place when he can think more better. I think he will be fine.''

''Erm.. you look familiar with this, Edward.'' Alicia who trying to follow him was stoped by Edward word that make her sit down again. When Charles said his opinion, Edward sighed and make atmosphere more awkward.

But Edward shook his head and change the topic, somehow they chatting in happy mood again. ''Who know... Maybe... But hey, didn't you know about this Kingdom in Academy?''

''Yes! I just hear that but didn't tommorow we will visit it?'' Alicia nodded and smiled

''Y-yes I want to see it too, isn't all first year will come."

''Good, how about tomorrow we decide a place for us to gather! I will tell Arya about this.'' Edward smiled.

*****

A beautiful stars shines along the dark sky, a boy sitting in the school backyard can be seen staring at the vast sky, sitting in grassfield where he could see stare at the sea beyond the Academy wall, with just a few big trees this is good place to find a peace.As the wind blows around his place Arya starting to feels calm and closed his eyes. When he hear a footsteps he opened his eyes and turn his head. Standing there was a beautiful girl with black hair and shining blue eyes.

''What are you doing here?'' the girl speak while gazing at Arya.

''Ah, good night. Well, I want to take a break and found this nice place. How about you?''

''Is that so? Yes, it's a good place isn't it? I just finished my work, I just wandering around this place and found you here.'' Because Arya just sitting there while watching her, she sit down beside dumdfounded Arya.

''Wow... you are so hardworking right? Working this late.''

''Muu... you are right, as Student Council it's already my job.'' The girl smiled while shrugged her shoulder.

'She is Student Council..!?' Arya didn't believe his ears and blinked his eyes.

Seeing him like this, she tilt her head in wonder and ask him.

''Hmm...? Why did you so surprised?''

Arya snapped to reality and scratched his cheeks and said ''No it's nothing.. ah, thank you for showing me to the hall last day.''

''Fufufu... it's nothing, but calling by 'you' taste bad on my mouth.. How about some introduction?''

''Ah, yes sorry. You can call me Arya, I am from class 1-E. Am Spear-user newbie with 20 soldiers.''

The girl covered her mouth and giggled before placed her hand at her chest and speak.

''Fufufu... all right, although many is already know me, my name is Yukiha Marissa, class 2-E. I'm Samurai type with 300 soldier... Eh? What is it?''

When Yukiha finished her introduction, Arya showing his shocked expression once again.

'Yukiha!? That Roaring Dragon leader in fron.. no beside me...!?'

''Hm..? Are that too shocking? But, didn't I already introduce myself when in Cere... Ah, I remember! Didn't you the boy that keep sleeping at the Welcome Ceremony last days..?''

'Crap... I too ignorant..'

Because it's feels strange, a certain boy in Welcome Ceremony appeared in her mind. When she trying to ask him with narrow eyes, Arya just averted his eyes. Seeing him didn't even to answer, she smiled.

''Fufu... so Arya-kun, what are you doing here ?''

''.... you see Marissa senpai-''

''Call me Yukiha..''

''Erm... Mari-''

''Yu.ki.ha.''

''...Yukiha-san, are you alright with this? I mean isn't First name...''

''It's fine.. I already have enough by everyone call me Marissa-sama, Marissa-dono. Even my classmate didn't want call me Yukiha, it's make me sad.''

When Arya trying to call her she tried hard to interrupted him and instructed him to call her Yukiha instead.

'Yeah... I called her by first name!? I wonder what Alicia and Edward think about this.. but...'

''Um.. Yukiha-san, are you by any chance... didn't... have a close friend?''

While Arya asking the reason other didn't call her by first name make her to yell and blushing make Arya to stare in daze.

''...O-of course I have! Why did you think like that! ...It's just, they didn't want to...''

'Uwah.. she's blushing and turns her head away, what with this destruction power. What is it again, Moe is Justice or Cute is Justice. Argh... keep calm my heart.'

Arya blushed and coughed to hide his embarrassment. ''Cough.... How about this, I will become your friend and will you listen to my problem.''

''..All right, so what is it?'' Yukiha pouted but still try to listen.

''You see...''

After that Arya tell his story. About when the training his soldiers and his method of training, because Yukiha said nothing and just listening, Arya became relieved and speak his worry like a dam water was broken. He speaks anything and everything which is strange as they are only meet today, not like Arya care though.

''Hm... Arya-kun, although I didn't like your way of training but that will somehow make them understand a bit about the fight. But, please hold yourself a little, it's isn't good if your partner angry with you. Your partner is GIRL right? She will hate you, you know...''

'Why did I feel she is using a high tone while calling my partner a girl.?' Hearing Yukiha scolding, Arya could only open and closes his mouth without able to said anything.

Yukiha nodded her head and smiled.''Un... just don't make the same mistake again. Saa, Arya-kun I have back now, see you.''

''Yeah, see you... all right, let's get back too.''

After hearing his problem Yukiha commented and stand up while said her good bye and waving her hand. After that Arya walking toward his dormitory, there Edward said his plan to meet and make a group in the Kingdom tomorrow.

Inside the school hall in next morning, all class from first year can be seen. They divided by their own class, and at the certain class 1-E, the teacher lead his class.

''All right students, now we will go to the Castle Kingdom. As I say before, this device can send us to the Gracia Continents. Where the Kingdom located. With this, they make a Virtual World where they copy our Althinaia and create a place as the same as our place, but there aren't school academy but a Castle so please mind your action. If you are interested, it's better for you to see it by yourself. All right, the class leader is? Hm... did I choose one?''

The teacher reviewing information about the Kingdom and orb-like device in this hall, 'is that teleportation device.' Arya want to retort. When the teacher try to find a leader for his class, a girl with long brown hair already arranged her excited classmate.

''Come on guys we will make 2 column and go there together. Please ready at anytime. Good, now teacher?''

''Yes, thank you... um... Mellisa right? Cough, don't worry the one that coming to kingdom is just you and your partner if you want to call your soldier, just say 'Summon' and poof they will appear. But, don't use it for now, the school just have 1 device to go there, but because the increased student number, 9 more available. So we can go without waiting for the other class. Are you ready?''

After all his student nodded, Mr.Black activated the device and all of them appear in the new place. Looking at their body and surrounding, they already wearing armour and the middle-age europe building appeared on their sight.

They appeared in a big plaza with huge fountain in the middle. Amazed and standing there, after few moment, the 5 teachers wearing a robe calming the situation and started their explanation, and around the place near fountain 6 figure can be seen.

''Woah... Edward you look like assasin you know, right David.''

''Uuu....I didn't envy of him, not...''

''It's fine Alicia, to think that you will choose masive two-bladed axe. What are you, Barbarian.''

Edward said in amazement while staring at Alicia attire.

''Is that so Shou....?''

Alicia, wearing white and purple light armour and short skirt and massive axe in her back, her Partner is a man with black hair and eyes, a calm looking face and have tower shield in his back, Shou.

''Ah, hello guys. Sorry I am late. Hm? What is it?''

While they still talking, the last person appeared. As they turn their head, they are stunned looking at Arya direction. With their eye wide open and mouth hung open they cannot belive what they saw. No, Arya is normal, but the one that make them like that is the one following behind him, not just 6 people in front of him, but right now Arya become a center of attention. No, not him but his Partner, Airi.

''You....Come here for a moment... Who the hell is she!?'' Edward pulled Arya while grabbing both his shoulder.

''Right..Arya, who is she...is she your gir-girlfriends ?'' Charles ask while his eyes shine.

''Yeah, who is that beauty, Arya?'' Alicia joined on the interogation.

''Dang you... how dare you get a girlfriend before me? Didn't we a brother?''

''Right... Arya, explain it... I mean to us!''

''Hey hey.. who is she?''

Seeing Arya walking beside a beautiful girl with black hair, Edward, Alicia, and Charles dragged him and ask him question even some male students opened their ear wide.

''Wait guys, calm down... she is my Partner you know...''

'''What!?'''

''What are you talking about! Didn't they just a male Partner option?''

''Right... Edward is right.''

''Wow...''

When he say that she is Arya partner, they showing various expression, Edward with confusing face, Alicia showing expression that looking like swallowed a bug, and Charles with his excited face.

'Eh? Just male? But didn't Aurora give me a choice? And why Charles just looking at me with those curious gaze.'

''Wait, Aurora give me a choice to create Male or Female you know.''

''Aurora, who is that?'' Edward still glaring with disbelieve in his eyes

''Create female... Arya, so you make her body!? Ew, pervert! Gross!'' While Alicia glaring at Arya in disgust.

''No wait! I didn't make it myself! I just allowed to tell the requirment and Aurora will get the body. She is the blonde girl in creation room, she didn't ask you maybe because you going to make the armour instead right?''

'''......'''

Airi said with poker face.

''See- Hey what!?'' When Arya almost agree with Airi, He snapped his head at her.

However Airi turned her head away.

''All right students, we will go to sightseeing in the castle. Please make a line and follow us.''

'''Yeah.'''

''Oh, it's started!!''

David the butler calmed the excited Charles who jumping up and down hearing the teacher.

''Yes, he is right Charles. But isn't it amazing Shou?''

Shou the shield wielder nodding his head at his Master word.

''Hohoho... it's castle is huge, do you thing you can sneak, Shin?''

The duo ninja-like person grinning while scheming something.

'What the heck is this duo saying, hm.. Shin? -Dono? This anime maniac. But the castle huh..?'

When they started to walks to the castle, Arya just stand still in his place, when Airi ask him, he just make excuse and run to the city.

''Airi, I have task for you. Because I interested in city, I want you to go to the castle with my friends. Please note important information for me. We will meet in this fountain again, Alicia please take care Airi for me, see you!''

Seeing her master disappeared, she just sigh and unwillingly follow Alicia. After Arya separated from them, he walked around city with a smile, he can see a armour shop, blacksmith, restaurant, and many other buildings. When he arrived at residential site, he hears someone calling him.

''Ah, Captain? What are you doing here?''

When Arya turn his body, the one greeted him is a girl with braided brown hair holding a broom, even if she didn't wear her helmet, Arya able to know her.

''Hm..? Martha? Ah,I just want to see this city. Did you live around here?''

Martha smiled and said.

''Yes, almost all your soldiers is living here but Rana, Lisa and Lina was on other place. Maybe they live in other city?''

''Is that so? good to hear that. So... how is your injury?"

''Ah, it's fine. After Captain bandaged my arm, it's already fine. See?''

''Ahahaha....Hm? What is it?''

When they speaking each other, Martha suddenly paled and bowing her head in hurry

''I am sorry Captain... I didn't mean to say too informal with you, I am sorry...''

''No no it's fine, when you didn't wearing armour it's fine talking to me normaly. Ah, forget about that. Can you guide me around?''

''Y-yes! Wait a minute, I will be back.'' After hearing his word she rushed to one house, it's seems that is her house.

While waiting for Martha, Arya feeling weird stare behind him. He ignore it then started to walking toward some alley and find a route that circle around, he wanted to startle the culprit. After he manage to go behind the person that looking confused because losing the target, Arya just sigh and poke their shoulder. ''Hey, what are you doing, following me?''

''Hyaa... you, don't startle me like that...'' The culprit jumped while grabbing the handle of her sword.

''Wait wait... don't unsheathe your sword! It's dangerous! And where is your Partner anyway?''

''Erm...I didn't see you go to the city. And didn't follow you!''

The person, a girl with red ponytail, Iroha Tachibana saying while turn her head away. When Arya try to say something, Martha come with puzzled expression. With no other choice, Arya invited Tachibana to came with them. The three of them starting the tour around the city, when someone jumped toward Martha.

''Big sis...!''

''Hwaa... Emy, don't jump like that. It's dangerous.'' Martha shouted while holding the little girl who hugging her.

''Hehehe... Big sis, who is that?'' The little girl point her hand while staring at Martha in cute manner.

''This is my Captain, where big sis working.'' The one jumping at Martha is little girl in 12 year old, look like she is Martha little sister.

''Is that so? Then what are you doing now, big sis?''

''Hmm? Showing the city around?''

''Really? I want to go too, take me!'' The cheerful little girl trying to follow with her with puppy eyes, because it's quite troubling Martha look at Arya direction, and he just nod his head.

''Erm.... A-alright...''

While Arya take a glance beside him, Tachibana shoulder trembling a bit seeing Martha little sister, when he think it will troublesome to ask he just ignored her fo now. They started their tour again, arrived at the farming site near the outer stonewall that bordered between forest and city. When Emy approaching Tachibana, she grab her hand.

''Hey hey Big sis, let's play with me...'' With her cute voice, Tachibana just stand there with blank face.

''Emy, don't trouble other people.'' When she ask Tachibana to play with her, Martha trying to scold her.

''...Um, it's fine. Emy chan, right? Hyaaa...'' With troubled face, Tachibana looking at Arya with expectation look, he smiled and nodded. When, she say okay, Emy pulled her away.

''Sorry, my little sister troubled you...''

''Nah, it's fine.''

''Is that so... But, thank you.'' Martha smiled and thanked him.

Not long after, someone appeared an calling Martha. A tall girl with braided light brown hair, if you see more closely her hair is light brown almost became pink, or is it pink?

''Ara.. isn't that Martha? Who is that man beside you? Fufufu... to think you already have a boyfriend.''

''Good morning, I am Arya.''

The girl narrowed her eyes and smiled. ''Ah... are you the Camphione that Martha enlisted?''

''Ah, yes...'' Not expecting that Martha knows him, Arya blinked.

''That jerk that hurt my sister in the name of training? Is that you...?''

Martha big sister, Mary asking Arya with smile in her face but somehow her eyes isn't smiling, it's make cold sweat more drenched Arya back.

''Big sis Mary, stop that.. He didn't mean abou... Eh? Emy don't, that dangerous! Heeey...''

When Martha trying to tell her sister, Emy running toward a river and with shout Martha run toward her leaving nervous Arya and her big sister.

''To be frank, I didn't like what you did by hurting my sister.'' Mary keep her smile with her eyes closed.

''....''

''But, I must thank you that she somehow become stronger even by a bit. You see, our father is soldier- No he was a guard, a easy job with big money. He just need to patrol around the city. But unfortunately, a huge army of monster attacked this town and killed many soldiers and guards.'' Mary smiled wryly while squeezed tighly her upper left arm.

Seeing angry Martha, Arya just smiled wryly. As Martha started sulking her big sis patting her hair, and finally the last sister appeared. No, she was being held and hugged by blushing Tachibana.

''Big sis, Emy hungry~~''

''Hmm? Is that so? Let's go home then, how about both of you?''

'Martha can cook? I must note this on my mind.' Arya keep her silence and just stared at Martha.

''Don't worry, Martha is good cook, she will become good wife you know...''

''Big sis..!''

When Martha try to invite them, Mary teasing her again. But because both of them must be back, they have to refuse.

''Ahaha.. sorry about that, we must get back soon. Right Tachibana?''

''Yes...''

'What's with her?' When Arya looking at Tachibana, she just nod her head and turn away.

''Alright let's go.. see you Captain...''
