[Attention. Champione Iroha has been defeated. Remaining Participant: 4.

Remaining times = 14 d : 01 h : 25 m : 05 s.]

When this panel appeared at Arya's face, he is surprised. He just meets her few hour ago at the ship deck and when going to the canteen. But now she is defeated in the first day?

He sure that Iroha is strong, but her opponent is-

~Whoosh

Before Arya finished his thought, a rock flying at him and force him to dodge. He currently has a little war on the open space in front of his second fort. it's on the north side of his first fort, its name is Monthern Fort. Its fort with the row of mountain behind it, if one walk west they will arrive at the Rockhelm Fort. Which is one of Arya aim.

But he is now involved in a little war.

Why a little?

''Spinning Kick!''

A little tornado appeared from nowhere and crushed at Arya defensive soldiers, breaking it and thrown some them away even some rock debris flying all around. What appeared was a beautiful girl clad in silver armor. Her armor is so revealing and makes Arya confused where to look.

At first when Arya and his soldiers planning to go to the Rockhelm Fort, at the north side they noticed something. When they decided to observe, they can see a cloud of dust approaching. When Arya looks closer, what he can see is a girl with silver armor running at full speed.

Alone.

She makes a chaos and Arya feel a headache. For a while, after calming himself and checking his soldiers, Arya decided to call the assaulter.

''Erm, Senior. You are running here by yourselves, are you alright?''

''Well, I am just scouting this area?''

Lies!! Arya shouting in his mind toward this person that tilting her head and answering calmly.

''What with your people? You have many soldiers right?''

''Hnn... That's right, but they are too slow. So I just volunteer myself to be a scout.''

''Aren't you bit too hasty. What if your soldiers ambushed midway of your scouting or reverse?''

''I just have to blow the enemy in front of me.''

Too calm! Arya really lost of word toward this person. What is the meaning of war if the general running alone straight toward enemy camp like walking in the park. But Arya couldn't help but feels amazed, because he sure nothing can stop her heavy gauntlet when she is charging like a bull.

Arya keeps talking to make this person distracted while Arya Partners helping the injured people.

''Well, Senior Seo Min no matter how strong you are, it's dangerous to running alone you know.''

''Hoho, how kind of you. What-''

When Seo Min hear that, she folded her arm and pressed at her nonexistent breast, make Arya turn his head.

''Wait wait, how did I feel that you had thinking something rude.''

''I-It's just your feeling.''

''Whatever, I just need to defeat you now. I don't know who defeated that red hair, but I will not lose from taking the first kill.''

Hearing that, Arya gripped his spear and prepared his stance. Before he knows, Airi and Linda already standing beside him, even his soldiers takes a position.

''All soldiers, Mobile Fort Formation. Airi, Linda follow me.''

Arya makes his soldiers into a formation. The formation is the Wings (Shield) make a square formation with their shield close each other where one side at the back are empty, the second line is the Beaks with their sword and dagger, and the middle is the Talons with their Javelin at ready. They stand their ground like a fortress.

Meanwhile, Arya, Airi, and Linda rushing straight toward Seo Min as they prepared for the intense battle. Arya didn't want to let his soldiers fight this person. If she is with her soldiers it's different, If she is alone with her strength it's just like throwing a chicken at the hungry tiger.

Before three of them arrive, Seo Min somehow jumped in surprise. And dashing back toward where she come from. While shouting something like 'She dare attacking when I was gone!' or 'Don't you dare escape before I arrive!'.

Make Arya and Airi tripped and slid to the ground because they cannot stop their charge. Linda just standing in a daze.

****

''Aah.. what was that for. She arrives and clashed against my defensive formation and rushing away?'' Arya's shoulder trembled because he holds his mixed emotions then sighed.

While Airi smiled wryly and shake her head.

Arya and Airi glared toward the giggling Linda. After she escaped, they forced to take a rest and at the morning they continue toward the Rockhelm Fort. After the rest at the 9 am, they finally arrived at the Fort. This Fort still have Iroha crest flag, A sword clad in flame flaping with the wind but the gate is wide open.

Arya nodded in approval at Airi word, because in front of the fort at the left side (west) were damaged ground. many hole and craters can be seen, there even some place with big cleaved mark and some explosion mark.

''The fight looks so terrifying, but why did she fight outside when she have a solid wall?'' Arya thought something as he looked over the battlefield.

Linda frowned and pointed at the ropes and ladder that falling in front of te wall in serious expression.

Airi then shook her head to deny Linda guess and show the burned crater.

''She has explosion as a ranged weapon?? What was that, Scary.''

The fight outside look so intense, but the Fort itself look alright. Even though some wall having some arrow stuck here and there, it is left untouched.

''Let's hope the damage can be repaired, now let's investigate inside maybe we will found a clue?'' Arya pondered for a moment before decide to check inside the fort.

They left the remnant of battle and approaching the Fort.

Along the way, Arya noticed the rocks in surrounding and smiled.

''Hey, the area are full of rocks and stones. Do you think we can make some trap around here?''

Linda too looked around and say.

Airi nodded her head and pointed at the high ground.

When they passed the gate, Arya smiled. ''No, I thinking about pitfall. But the rolling rock looks good. Good job.''

Before Linda can say something, she is surprised even Airi beside her is blinking her eyes.

Because Arya suddenly disappeared, they sure that Arya leading the way in front of them but now he is mysteriously disappeared. When they looking downward.

They shouted in surprise and approaching at Arya place, a large hole suddenly appeared and Arya dropped inside with stupid expression. They rushing with worried expression, how will they feels if their leader defeated not because a honorable fight but because of some pitfall trap.

There, inside the pitfall is a pitch black hole. It's so black that make one wonder how deep the hole is. And Arya is currently hanging with his spear pierced the wall, he is quite deep and just his hand and head can be seen with the sunlight help.

He turns his head toward Airi and Linda with a terrified expression.

''Please Help Me!!!''

****

''Am saved.''

After Arya back to the surface, he dropped in four like 'orz' position and Airi patted his back to calm him. Linda in other hand, trying hard to suppress her laughter.

''Linda, how can you laugh at your friend misfortune!''

''I will throw you to the hole!''

Arya become angry and chased after Linda when he almost catches her, she jumped away and Arya hit the hard ground.

No, the supposed hard ground vanished and he dropped again with stupid expression.

''Waaaa!!''

Airi dashed there and peeked at the hole, Arya hanging at the wall while holding his short sword. He turns his head toward Airi and Linda with the same terrified expression.

''Please Help Me!!!''

Airi just shakes her head and then sigh. While Linda rolling on the floor holding her side.

****

''Am saved.''

After Arya back to the surface again, he dropped in 'orz' position again. After some time, he stands up and making the expression as if nothing happen.

''This trap is amazing, I really lost of word to make a praise word for this.''

[Magnificent, Super-]

Arya covered Linda mouth by his hand before she continued, resulting a glare for her. After he think its enough, he release his hand.

''What are you saying! How did this become H*ntai scene!? And how do you know that reference!''

When Arya looking at the pitfall Linda pats Arya shoulder while giving a thumb up, and Arya retorted. For a while, something struck him, 'Is there even slime and tentacle monster out here?' with a serious expression.

Airi face turned red and shouted.

''S, Sorry. Well, I think there is more trap here. How can we reveal it?''

Hearing Arya word, Linda smiled and turn her head.

''Roger...'' ''...That.''

The petite twins from the Beaks divisions answered Linda order and jumped forward. Before Arya can say anything both of them landed on the ground, before long the ground beneath them trembled and collapse as Lisa and Lina disappeared while Arya's face paled.

They are not dropped but jumped away at the same time before the ground vanished. They using their light body as advantage and keep jumping like pair of rabbit. Before long, 3 other hole appeared. Totaling of 5 pitfall present. The pitfall palced in front of the gate, the distance between each traps are 1 meter. With 2 in front, 1 in the middle, and 2 at the back. The traps goals maybe to stop enemy advance if the gate is destroyed.

''Nice, Lisa Lina! now we can use it as our secret weapons!''

''Don't worry, we have a master here. Right Uncle?''

''Gahaha... Don't worry, missy. We have much experience regarded traps before!''

Airi agreed with Arya plan to make the pitfall their own, but she is too worry because between them they never have experience with making traps. But Arya just grinning while turning his head toward the ex-bandit leader, the person himself, Amore just stroked his beard while grinning at Arya.

As a bandit they have the experience to make traps to defeat their pursuer or used to catch the animal, they confident with their skill. The ex-member bandit from the soldier's formation too grinning hearing this.

''Good, now its decided. But, first..''

Arya approved the plans, but he didn't rush to create it immediately because the light enveloped Arya, Airi, and Linda body before they appeared back at the shaking ship deck. It's at the 3 pm, time to rest!

''Alright everyone, good job for 'surviving' in this 2 days. Although there is some unlucky person which defeated on the first day, well now go to the gate. Take some rest.''

With the teacher instruction, the 4 Participant walking toward the gate. However, Arya use this time to observe other people. Senior Alan didn't make any expression and just tilted his head when he sensed that Arya looking his way. Senior Seo Min had glaring contest with Yukiha.

****

They appeared back at the school ground, and walked toward the school canteen. When they reached there, all of them split up heading toward their friends including Arya after taking their food. Edward in the middle of canteen waving his hand with bright expression, but Arya feels uncomfortable.

Why did they choose the middle table that surrounded with students? He sighs before dragging his feet. Alicia, Charles and Edward sitting at the same line which Alicia sitting between Edward and Charles. So Arya sitting at the empty seat facing them.

''What make you so late, Arfools?'' Edward suspiciously smiled.

But then he was stopped by Alicia word. ''Stop it, Edward. We have a lunch here.''

Meanwhile, Charles has his eyes full of star. ''Hey hey, Arya your fight is cool you know?''

Hearing all his friend's word Arya shake his head, but then turned to Charles and say. ''Isn't this, this is 20 times you said that!?''

Charles grinned and say while glanced at Edward. ''Aw, come on. You have a good adventure there, right Edward.''

This time, Edward smile become smirk. ''Yes, like jumping straight at the pitfall?''

''Pfft, Edward... stop. that..'' Alicia who tries to admonish Edward, suddenly almost blurted to laugh remembering Arya misfortune.

''Yes yes, just try to join one and do bungee jumping without ropes!''

His 3 friends grinning from Arya retort, before long a person walking and sitting beside Arya. Her red hair swaying behind when she move.

''Good afternoon, Iroha-san.''

''Yes, good afternoon.''

''So, what can I help you?''

When Iroha placing her tray food at the table, Arya greets her and try to ask her. With his experience, he sure that if Iroha comes here by herself it's because she has something to say or she has a request. Like duel request, Indeed.

''What with your tone? It's not like I just want to have a fight with you. I am not musclebrain, that just thinking of fight and not having plans.''

''Oh, you are not? ''

Arya blocked Iroha chop, naturally, Arya grabbed her other hand to stop it. After glaring contest for a second, which Iroha averted her eyes first, and when Arya think it's safe he releases his both grip. Then they turned their attention to their food.

''Like I said, I am not thinking of fight all the time.''

''Yes yes, maybe not but you-''

''Are very good with the night battle at the bed?''

~Burst...

Iroha tries to clear her image as fight maniac, but before Arya finishes his word Edward butt in and make Arya burst out his drink at Charles. 'Wait since when did I hold my drink?' Arya thinks of himself. Edward keeps staring at them, with dead eyes. Arya that coughing fit and the red face Iroha.

''E-Edward. What are you saying?'' Alicia paled seeing a bad atmosphere and asking Edward.

''They just get on my nerve. Making their own world, we still exist here. Oi.'' Edward grits his teeth.

But Charles sulked while speaking in a low voice. ''Aren't both of you the same. Hmph.''

''Cough cough, joke aside. Iroha ignores this person, do you have something to say with me?'' Arya smiled wryly and turn toward Iroha.

Alicia flustered to what to do, Edward folded his hand while glaring, and Charles cleaned his wet face with tissue while pouting. Iroha calmed herself by drinking. However, without they notice a pair of blue sky eyes staring at them at the fair distance, the person have complicated expression of wanting to approach or not. When the person hears someone calling, the person just turn her head and walking away.

The long hair swaying beautifully behind, and as Arya noticed it a little before Iroha start talking.

''Well, I just want to say. Be careful of Yukiha-senpai.''

Not expecting her word, Arya suddenly gives his attention. ''Hooh, Interesting. What is it?''

''It's just in one day and she defeats me with ease, she is dangerous when in fight mode.'' Iroha expression turned serious when she remember her defeat.

''I see, Indeed. Isn't she is the winner last year? I hear that she almost defeat all the enemies by herself.'' Arya nodded his head, and fall in deep thought.

''That's right, she even gets a title like 'Undefeated Queen', 'Goddess of War', 'Sharpshooter Master', that clearly showed how strong she is.''

''Hold on, left the other 2 aside. Isn't Sharpshooter title is already amazing enough? maybe it will upgrade to 'One Hit Eagle Eye Sharpshooter of Master Headshot? Sorry, please continue.''

Arya started to retort, but the glare from Iroha make him shudder.

Iroha sighed and smiled wryly. ''Sigh. Well, Yukiha-senpai does one shooted her prey.''

Arya laughed. ''Is that true? I see, I will always check my back.''

''Don't forget to check above you.''

Arya thinking this as a serious matter and exchanging a glance with Iroha, before grinning together.

''They making their own world right?''

''They making their own world.''

''They making their own world, Indeed.''

****

After some rest, all the Participants getting back at their previous place. Arya used this time to prepare the traps. Before they know, 3 days was passed and now its already in days 4.

Fortunately, the rest time changed from the school canteen toward the private place. The teacher afraid because the Participant action was showed in live, so the Participant friends can tell about other action, and that is cheating.

Thanks to this, Arya can make the trap without worries.

''Close the gate!!''

Arya shouted his order while staring at the gate of Rockhelm Fort, the gate makes a cracking sound before going down slowly. This is the fourth days in All-of-War Battle, but the day before is mysteriously calm with his traps project. Arya didn't know why even when they come back on the deck to rest they are acted too calm.

So he have a feelings that they will starting to move in real. The real war will begin shortly, so Arya started to get ready all the times.

''Ah, Airi, do you think we can win this time?''

''I know right. Without Iroha here, It's just me and the group of veterans. It makes me nervous.''

Airi appeared behind Arya to report the situation, Arya didn't turn back while answering and try to ask Airi. Airi herself is confused to how to response, make Arya turn his head at her while giving a wry smile. It's really hard for Arya, it's not like some Anime where the protagonist has incredible luck and solved the problem.

He is a smart person, but not too much like some genius. Overall he just, normal human. He has weakness, he is not perfect. There is a time where he is frustrated because of his choice. After all, the human is a creature that born without perfection, that is why they had to find their weakness and to solve it.

So it cannot be helped if he doing something wrong, but the wrong choice is no matter what is wrong.

So the responsibility is weighted him, with his visor opened Arya face showed a scowl expression.

''Wait wait wait! Is it supposed to make me feel good? And what do you mean by torture? it's training! And why did you only telling my bad?''

When Arya becomes more anxious, Airi suddenly hugs Arya. She comforted him by saying his 'good' point, but Arya retorted. Before long they laughing together.

''Hey, thanks, Airi..''

With the beautiful scenery behind them they slowly parted away with a smile that is still bright on their face.

''Come on, boys. As a man push her gently!!''

''Screw you all!! Get back to your position!!''

Suddenly Linda and Amore appeared and teasing Arya and Airi, no almost all his soldiers present. They hold their cheeks and staring with shining eyes. But Arya shouted in Anger with red face. They started scattered away whilr grinning at their leader.

****

''They finally come, good how is the preparation?''

Arya currently sitting in the teleportation chamber, it's inside the Fort. The stone wall make it feel elegant and solid, the torch lodged at the wall, and in middle is the teleportation device, he started the activation for this device few hour ago to preparing for escape but the energy is still insufficient and need more time.

''Both side!? It's a waste if the attacker divided their troops, so...''

''What are you saying, Airi! Lets see the at the wall. Argh, how can this be different from my expectation! I want to act cool while defeating the attacker!!''

When Arya hear another report from Airi, his face changed from confident to pale. Before Airi finish reporting, Arya already dashed outside. Before long, Arya reached at the wall above and Martha approaching.

''Commander, The enemies arrived at the first defensive line. They come from the East and the West side, our lookout said that the West attacker advanced forward like ignoring our defense line and they will come in short time. We sure that the West side having difficulties.''

Martha reported in one breath, while Arya praising her. In one days, Arya already prepared the traps in 3 place as defensive line. The first one is rolling rock that will crush their enemy, the second is spiked ground traps and the last one is Rain of spiked stone that still in hidden.

''All soldiers, get to your position and stand ready. Linda, can you summon your knight and helping the West side?''

''Don't make an unreasonable wish. However, we will do our best. Now move out.''

From Arya orders, the soldiers getting ready and stand in their position while some people mounting at the ballista.

Before long a news from the lookout arrive.

''The second line of defensive line was penetrated! they will come in 10 minute!''

From then, the all people started to tense. some people have their hand trembled, either of excitement or anxious. However, they have one common thing. They ready for this. Arya standing above the wall, stab his spear below and fixed his visor. The vision is different because the visor had a little vision but for Arya who need more protection, its already enough. He just think this as a way to improve his skill of sensing.

Airi gripped her halberd while being anxious about her master that will do something reckless. Linda at the West wall standing tall with her sword in front of her with her knight surround her.

Before long the enemies figure can be seen approaching, the one arrive first is from the East side before followed by the West side. They almost arrived before the wall of Fort.

''Release the rain! Shower them with the Rain of stone!''

With Arya order, a little cloud of brown flying straight above the enemies, make them stop their advance.
