"First, Forvish you need to know that our schools name just changed recently. It was called Emperor Treasure. The principal of school was rather crazy, he isn't a figurehead, as long you are the strongest you can do anything. It was a normal thing 16 years ago.(Lumiere's Mother)
.........The past is so dark. That explains why mom and dad wants to kill me without a second thought, also the secret labotory where Luna and I were experimented on. Well it is a thing in the past.
"Even the hero saved this city and made this city beautiful, 5 years after the world was already saved."(Lumiere)
Dad and mom are rather awesome, but they never told me any of it.
"The first one who ruled was the Emperor, unlike now, before in this city a humans rights were ignored. It was common for people to make slaves and to sell internal organs of people. This was a city of criminals, But it also had limits. The worst is.... I was bought by the Emperor and became the Emperors plaything. That is also the time I was pregnant with her."(Lumiere's Mother)
......A childless dad....Her mom was raped by a man, what's more she is wounded like this. Now, I understand her more.
"Forvish, you already have seen right the state of her school. We are treated the same as man right now, but we are even far worse. Even to stay...To survive is hard. I survived because the heroes saved me. The heroes also made us survivors be paid by goverment for the rest our lives."(Lumiere's mother)
.....As expected from dad.
"I quit school so I could give birth to her, a pregnant lady isn't allowed to continue school that is what I thought. I made the right decision because the school stayed the same as woman treat men as slaves, but softer than before."(Lumiere's Mother)
"I understand. It is the same as right now, isn't it."('Forvish)
She nods.
"Well it is normal, Because all of the heroes vanished after that and no one knows where they are right now. Only Helia Edwaltz who showed herself later on..The rest almost no one knows about them. Because of that the school stayed the same as ever."(Lumiere's mother)
"Why didn't you tell the hero?"(Forvish)
"Forvish, Lumiere was still a child at that time, no matter how kind I am. I will priotize my child first. Because I am a mother.."(Lumiere's mother)
She doesn't want to take risks, It is good decision, I will make the same decision if I was in her spot.
"We have a normal life, Lumiere never asked me why she doesn't have dad and goes to school happily. She is a clever child, she must know it, but she never asks, she wants to treasure our relationship. That stupid child, she can just tell me or whine to me."(Lumiere's Mother)

Her eyes are teary
Even though she mocks her, it doesn't mean anything. She truly loves Lumiere from depth of her heart.
"She is talented and to make our life easier she goes to my school because the school gave her full a scholarship, but when she arrived she saw hell..."(Lumiere's mother)
"That what made her do this."(Forvish)
"Yes, she changed the schools name and governs the school, she gives no mercy. Then she asks me, why I wear a sweater and long skirt all day? When she sees my scars, she was angry, but she ask me regardless. If my wounds come from my school life.(Lumiere's mother)
"You told her?"(Forvish)
I ask her worriedly.
"No. I just don't want her to avenge me, but she must know that I am lying. The next day she mercilessly tortured the last emperor which is the son of the emperor that raped me. Then she made the schools woman stand above men. It is a sign of revenge."(Lumiere's mother)
That's why her eyes are so cold toward others, but why is hers warm to me..
"Forvish, I am happy you followed her and that she treats you as a human and not a pet, it is normal for her to give a beating before she does the talking, but she talks with you and only told you to go.."(Lumiere's mother)
"That is because she needs me for the tournament next month, she already told me.(Forvish)
"Fufufufu, she is kinda shy and slow towards her real feelings. Forvish I have a wish."(Lumiere's mother)
What kind of wish?
"Can you persuade her not to avenge me anymore? I don't want her to live like that. I want her to live as normal girl."(Lumiere's mother)
"I can't do that."(Forvish)
"Can I ask you why?"(Lumiere's mother)
"Because only herself, that can change her mind. An outsider cannot intervene, no matter who it is."(Forvish)
"I see. You are pretty much an adult Forvish, but you are also a child at the same time."(Lumiere's mother)
I am confused? I don't understand her .
"What do you mean?"(Forvish)
"No need to worry, it is a good thing, then can you protect her? At least that much....please."(Lumiere's mother)
"I don't mind that."(Forvish)
I accept that one. Because her mother requested me. She already helped me by telling me her story, at least I can help her this much.
"Forvish, how about you stay here? I want to know more about you because you are the first person she brought home."(Lumiere's mother)
"Please pardon me for that, she will kill me if I stay more, I will return and sleep at school."(Forvish)

"I see, see you later."(Lumiere's mother)
I nod, then after Isay goodbye I returned to the academy. When I arrived it is already midnight, looks like we took to much time. I go to sleep and plan to do something about the situation.
Narator POV
Home-Training Room.
"I am so tired. Thanks grandpa, grandma for lending me your time. I will go sleep now."(Lune)
After that lune goes up the stairs and Lune dissapears.
"Even if she stays away from Forvish, she can still use another persons mana by making a link between each other. What a scary little girl."(Leon)
Then she turns back and sees everyone laying on ground unmoving.
"She only used Magic, what's more her defense is solid, but Forvish still hides his power, his dark magic is at advanced level...no higher than that."(Helia)
"I don't know this because I told her not to use it, but i never expected it to be at this level."(Leon)
Then Helia smiled, seeing this Leon gives her a weird face.
"If he used it, he can toy with them...But he choose to hide it and face it with hardship. Isn't it good Leon? He is a guy who upholds his promises?"(Helia)
"Well, I can't refute that, Helia give them some sheets they are out of cold."(Leon)
"Okay."(Helia)
Then she goes and only Leon is left.
"....Now I know why both of them afraid, but still...It isn't we who have have hit the limit. They are too paranoid. It isn't like we will stay the same this year."(Leon)
Forvish POV
15-October-2088(Friday)
2 A.M
Someone knocks at my window. As I open the curtains I see Lune......How the hell did you get here. She told me to open the door.
Immediately I opened the window, then she fell to the floor before I could catch her.
"....Fuah, walking in the night sure is tiring."(Lune)
"Lune why do you know this place.."(Forvish)
I never told you.
"A good daughter always know where there dad is!"(Lune)
.........I will skip that thought.
"How did you get here?"(Forvish)
"Taxi, I used your money dad."(Lune)
I have a much higher money count than the common person, so it is fine. But she looked so proud telling me to praise her. Bad girl!
"Next time, don' you do it again. It will make everyone worry."(Forvish)
I flick at her forehead as she say that and her eyes became teary as she nods. Then she asks me a question.
"Dad try to say manarize."(Lune)
"Manarize."(Forvish)
Still no change happen....
"...I see, still failed, I planed to see if dad could manarize yet. But you can't so here you go dad."(Lune)
She took out something from her skirt. Your skirt is too convenient.
"Upgraded Gungnir and Brionac which is made by scientist mom. It is made especially for you, until you can manarize this should be enough for now."(Lune)
I see she was worried about me. That's why she wants to increase the chance even if only by one percent. But the way Jessica named these must because of the previous guns. Well I did brake them though.
"Thanks Lune."(Forvish)
I pat her head and she smiles broadly. Then she asks me.
"Dad can I sleep with you?"(Lune)
She is pretty much child. Usually I make her go home, but this time is exception. After that we wake up at 8 A.M. I send her off secretly so no one knows. Then I go train for awhile.
8 A.M
I go to school and see many of the males standing like usual, but inside school they will be treated as a pet.
Then I noticed Lumiere, she walks gracefully but her eyes are like a pandas. I noticed she even wears makeup.
Did she stayed all night? I go to her and greet her
"Good morning."(Forvish)
"Already treating me normal huh? Must be because of mom."(Lumiere)
"There is no reason for me to hate your personality, still I don't like your ideas."(Forvish)
"What? Revenge means nothing? I don'-"(Lumiere)
"Nope, I don't care about it. Anyone can have something like that, but Lumiere I will say this. Don't forget your priority, no matter how deep your grudge is don't be blinded by revenge."(Forvish)
I say whats on my mind. Revenge is bad because a person is often blinded by it, for example their lives, their family and many things.
"You are weird."(Lumiere)
She stares at me with weird look.
"Thanks for the compliment."(Forvish)
"..........Talking with you really kill the tense."(Lumiere)
She shakes her head. Then I feel killing intent, I turn around, but immediately it vanish..But still..This feeling...Seasoned veteran...He must be around 40-50 years old. Looks like Lune has done a good job. I doubt I can defeat him with only my swords. I hope he doesn't attack.
"Forvish...You feel it don't you."(Lumiere)
"..Let's go in quickly."(Forvish)
"Yes."(Lumiere)
After that we went in.
Narator POV
300 meters on the top of a tree.
A strange man sits on the tree.
"......This is a harder job than I thought, but looks like it will be rewarding. This is gonna be fun. "(?????)

I have a Twitter now cause it would not stop bugging me when I wanted to look at news for a game, the link is here, https://twitter.com/JustAPhoenix2 .
