"Hey sorry im late"

As I'm running toward the school entrance, I see that both Mikael and Isabel have already arrived. The closing ceremony had ended about thirty minutes ago when we all had went to our rooms to shower and change before going out for dinner. Mikael, noticing me, starts waving his hand.

"Come on Jung Woo~ I'm starving"

Laughing at Mikael's never ending passion for food, I finally arrive at the entrance.

"So, what do you two want to eat?"

"....steak"

While having her ever same aloof face, after thinking it over Isabel makes her decision with determination.

"Oooohhhh! Isabel has the right mindset!!"

"Haha fine steak it is then. Isabel take us to a place you know"

Nodding, Isabel starts walking out. Mikael and I follow suit and we all head towards downtown London. Since it was an weekend afternoon, the roads were bustling with people. Seeing the city revived and doing well after the invasion made me proud as I played a part in pushing back the First Invasion. While Mikael was joking about stupid stuff, we arrived at the riverside.

With the sun descending into the river, it was quite a beautiful scene. All of us stopped for a moment to look with awe at the setting sun. It truly made you realize there were still beautiful things left in our world. After we finish gazing, we go along and head into a restaurant with a sign above naming it the "Venue".

Opening the door, I examine the restaurant. It was set up with a extravagent feel, with a glass chandelier hanging over the customers heads. In the front, a person was on a antique piano playing a relaxing tune. It really did have a expensive look to it, but that wasnt the reason I had turned around and tried to leave.

"Ara~ thats quite rude, you know? Seeing your most caring teacher and turning around?"

With my shoulders drooping in defeat, I turn around and look at the two that were already seated. One was a bewitching mature female with black hair going down to the tip of her chin. On the other hand was a young lady with curly blonde hair that reached to her shoulder. She exuded a feeling of royalty. Well, she was, after all a princess.

"....Since I highly doubt that this is a coincidence, may I please hear the reason the student council president and old hag is here?"

"Omo, you make it sound like we came here with malicious intentions~ I just came because I wanted to congratulate my adorable disciple on winning the tournament~ isn't that right Elizabeth?"

"Yes headmistress~"

"So let me get this right. Elizabeth Tudor found out we were coming here for a celebration dinner and the old hag tagged along to mooch off a free dinner?"

"Tch... as always you're sharp..."

"....please act your age. Anyways isn't it too shameful for the headmistress of Olympus Academy and the second princess of Britain to mooch off a high school freshmen?!"

"Nope, not at all. What about you Elizabeth?"

"Food bought by others always taste best headmistress~~"

Sighing, I cover my face with my palm....the..these two!! Do they think I'm a walking bank! Not to mention the old hag who's always done this, why is Britain's Second Princess tagging along?! Mikael starts patting my back, attempting to console me as I imagine my bank funds dropping....

While depressed by this thought, the five of us gets seated and order our food.

"...Filet Minot please"

"I'll take the T-Bone"

"Same please"

"Hmm.... let me get a Filet Minot, a bottle of Chardany, and some chocolate"

"Ohhh headmistress that sounds great! I'll take the same without the bottle!"

The...these two leachers! Seeing the piggy banks fly away, I just droop my head. Waiting for a few moments, the bottle of wine comes along with everyone else's drinks. Filling up her and Elizabeth's glass, the old hag proposes a toast.

"To becoming the freshmen representatives, cheers!"

""""Cheers""""

Clanking our glasses, we drink and begin talking.

"I knew Jung Woo was strong already, but Mikael and Isabel, you two surprised me with your strengths. Seriously~ the freshmen class this year is a monster~~"

"Well thank you for the compliment, president~"

"...thank you"

"Ho Ho ho, don't mention it. Anyways, that means we have nine out of the ten positions now set. Now we just got to wait for the last position to fill up"

Huh? There are ten positions? Hearing this for the first time, I ask about it.

"Eh? Theres ten positions? How are we filling the last one then?"

"We will be holding a singles tournament for anyone who'd like to take the final spot a month from now"

"Ho.... that seems like it'll be a hassle..."

While we were discussing about the final spot left for the team, the food finally came and everyone became silent while eating. Ahh.... this T-Bone is heavenely. While forgetting everything else, I enjoy the taste of the juicy steak.

After eating the steak and having some small talk we finally get up and leave. Saying goodbye to the student council president and the headmistress, we go back to our dorm while the stars are shining brightly in the night sky. As we near the gate, Mikael suddenly remembers something.

"Shit, I forgot to buy something in town. Sir, Isabel, you two go on first I got to go back"

"Alright man, see you tomorrow"

"..goodnight"

Saying our farewells, Mikael heads back as Isabel and I walk toward the dorms. The two of us walked in silence. Feeling awkward, I try to think of something to say. Isabel, however stops walking and suddenly looks at me. Lowering her upper body, she bows.

"....Thank you for the meal today... also I had been contemplating how to say this, but thank you for three years ago also..."

Feeling embarrassed by Isabel bowing and saying thank you, I blush a little while scratching my cheeks.

"Eh, no problem at all. Also, I been trying to remeber how we met three years ago.. but im sorry I can't remember"

Saying sorry, I also bow down. Suprised by the sudden action, Isabel's face stiffens for a moment. Slowly, however, the face loosens and with the moon behind her head, for the first time she smiles.

"...hehe its fine. How can I be mad at my savior?"

Her smiling face, surrounded by the glowing moon was dazzling. Even though I've traveled all around the world and seen many things, I have yet to see something so beautiful.....but wait....savior? Suddenly, a memory pops into my head.

During the time I had been promoted to CPT of the Leviathan CO, we had gotten a mission to go to Paris and dispose of a S Rank Yokai that had appeared. Rushing over, we had arrived in a forest area when we caught sight of the Yokai.

The Yokai was a large humanoid thst had a horn prodding from its head. It had large bulging muscle that seemed stretched on his gray skin. In its left hand, it was holding a large tree that was bring used as a club. It was an oni.

As we stopped to form up and create a battle position, I suddenly hear a scream. Looking back, a little child was being chased by the S rank Yokai. Seeing this, I rush over by myself.

"Shit, LT Drakon, form the CO into position! I'll go stall for time! Hurry!"

"SIR!!!"

Ignoring the yell, I rushed forth. While I was running, the child fell to the ground. While backing away with tears in his eyes, the Yokai approached and slowly reached it's arm out. Shit, I need to make it!

Thinking this, I begin the summoning ritual.

"Oh Lord of all Dragons! Ruler of the Majestic Beast known to be the strongest, hear my plea! Sinners surround me, trying to bring me down into the darkness. Become my sword and armor so that I may fight back and prevail against all. Apep!!"

Finishing the chant, an armor begins to surround me. When it is fully materialized, you can see the silver substance that covers the armor. It is by no means regular silver, but the legendary material thought to be just myth, Mitheral.

On the shoulder, dragon heads are prodding out with an etching of the great dragon, Apep on the chest area. The helmet that is on my head is one that is open in the front with a metal hanging down, protecting my nose. From the side of the helmet, great dragon wings go upwards, seeming to unfold. In my right hand, the legendary Excalibur rests in the shape of a katana.

The area I am at is now also covered in a shadow. If you look above, you could see a large underbelly that is covered by midnight black scales.

"Boy! Its been a while since you've summoned me!"

"Sorry about that, Apep! Situations kind of bad. Can you go get that Yokai? I'll go protect that child!"

"Alright, you better catch up quickly to get in the fun!"

Saying that, Apep speeds up and quickly rushes into the Yokai, throwing it toward the mountain. That dragon sure does love fighting. Grinning at that thought, I inspect the child.

The child was short, maybe 4'6? With blue hair that went down to his shoulder, he had very distinguishable hair. Worried he might have an internal injury I ask him.

"You okay? Anywhere that hurts?"

Shaking his head, I sigh in relief. He's fine. Standing up, I send a comm. over the mic.

"LT Drakon, please have a team come pick the child up and take him to a safe location. I'm going in against that oni"

"Roger, sir!"

"Alright, some older ladies and gentlemen are going to pick you up, okay?"

Seeing the child nod in understanding, I smile and scuffle his hair before heading toward Apep and the Oni.

"...no way. You were that little kid?!"

Coming back to the present I look at Isabel in shock. Puffing her cheeks a little, she replies.

"...you were a little kid back then too, you know? Anyways we've reached my dorm. See you tomorrow"

Saying that, she leaves before I can say anything else. I stay in the same place looking at the girl dorm's entrance for a while. Wow, who knew that the little kid back then was a girl, not to mention a beauty like Isabel?

Anyways, I slowly turn and head back toward my dorms. Before I could get into the entrance, however, I notice a presence by the trees and look.

"Ho Ho ho... my dumb disciple finally learned eh?"

"....you saw the whole thing?"

"Of course, it was too cute to miss after all. Anyways I came here to tell you something...."Yim Minah" is transferring here next week from Japan"

"!!!!"

At the mention of Minah, my face stiffens due to shock. Before I could ask anymore questions, my teacher leaves the area. Haa.... why do all the girls I know say just what they want and leave?!

Anyways, Minah huh? Ever since the incident ten years ago I'd been trying to hide from the past.... but I guess fate sure doesn’t want me to forget huh...
