Rayla Substories 1/5

Rayla is walking in the streets minding her own business when she overhears someone speaking in a worried tone of voice while she passed near a Convenience Store.

Store Clerk: Oh my…Maybe I should just quit before they get to me…
Boss: You really have nothing to worry about. I’ve already reported this to the police, so you’ll be fine.
Store Clerk: I don’t know sir…
Boss: But I know for sure you’ll be fine, no go back to the counter right now, time is money!
Store Clerk: Maybe I should just pray…

Rayla: (This looks pretty serious...I should ask what is going on.

**Substory Jingle**

Party Time Job


Rayla: Excuse me…sir…
Store Clerk: WAH! Y-Yes…?

Music: Substory Theme


Rayla: (Wow, he looks pretty distressed…) Don’t worry, I won’t bite.
Store Clerk: Whew…Thank goodness…Sorry, I’ll be at the counter right away.

Rayla: Wait a minute, I’m not a client. I’m just here to ask why you look so troubled…
Store Clerk: It’s nothing much…Just that I’m not doing very well in terms of money.

Rayla: Pretty sure the police don’t have anything to do with your money.
Store Clerk: So you heard me talking huh? If so then please, don’t insist…I don’t want involve someone else in this…

Rayla: I may not look like it, but I can fare well in a fight if that’s the issue.
Store Clerk: But still…wait…I think I know who you are.

Rayla: (Maybe I should’ve just outright told him who I am then…) Yep, I’m the one and only Ralya.
Store Clerk: THE HOLY HA-

Rayla: Please don’t call me that. Its sounds so silly…
Store Clerk: Oh…I’m so sorry…

Rayla: Right then…I assume you incurred the wrath of some random thug.
Store Clerk: You got that right. I’ve stopped him from shop-lifting, then he promised to bring in his pals to thrash the place and shank me in the ribs.

Rayla: Urgh...That's going to far. Welp, I got the gist of it, you can count on me to help out.
Store Clerk: But…won’t they know that you’re here? I mean, you are pretty famous around Spring Zone.

Rayla: Yeah…you got a point; they’ll just run in sight and come back later when I’m not around. If I want to catch them, it has to be by surprise.
Store Clerk: With your reputation, someone who's watching the area will most certainly warn them of your presence if you hide somewhere nearby.

Rayla: Hmmm…This does bring up a problem…
Store Clerk: Ah! I just thought of something. Come inside for a bit.

Rayla: Okay.

**Music fades out**

She follows the clerk, and then enters a room inside the store.

Store Clerk: You see, just this week, we opened up a spot for party-time jobs. If you disguise as one of our employees, then you’ll be able to blend in just fine.

Rayla: Sounds good.
Store Clerk: However, I’m going to have you to untie your hair. We don’t exactly have any spare uniforms right now as we usually order them to fit the size of the one we hired.

Rayla: (Un-untie my hair?) It’s okay, I can use my Student Uniform, it will work just a fine.
Store Clerk: Can’t wait to see their reactions when you reveal yourself!
Rayla: (The excitement is just through the room with him. Not that this is a bad thing or anything.)
Rayla: Well then, time to put our plan into motion.
Boss: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! THERE A CLIENTS WAITING AT THE COUNTER!!!
Store Clerk: Coming!

Rayla: (Give him a little discount…He was pretty terrified a while back.)

Moments later, Rayla leaves the room with her hair undone.

Store Clerk: Oh my! You look like an entirely different person.

Rayla: So…What should I do?
Store Clerk: Let’s see…Go check the expiration date of the products over there and replace them if needed.

Rayla: Got it!

After some time, a gang of thugs arrive.

Thug 1: Hey hey hey! Remember me old pal!
Clerk: I couldn’t forget even if I wanted to…You’re that hoodlum that tried to steal from this store.

Music: Tension Track

Suddenly, the gang members all laughed in unison.

Thug 2: Man! Just look at him bro! The boy is trying to play tough.
Clerk: Pretty sure I’m older than you.
Thug 1: Yep…And I’m going to enjoy spilling his guts on the ground.
Clerk: C’mon! Go on ahead! Shank me down like you told me you told me you would do!
Thug 3: Now this punk is just being suicidal. Bro, I think he deserves a slow death.
Thug 1: As much as I want to…We can’t stay here for long. Remember, The Holy Hammer might catch us If we just play around.
Clerk: Yeah, you guys better be afraid! She’ll make you wish you never crossed her path.
Thug 1: That does it…Killing you right now.

He went for the stab, however, he saw that the knife was missing from his hand. Then, he felt his head being grabbed, and then he has tossed towards his gang. They all gasped in horror, guessing the girl who just showed up was Rayla.


Rayla: Would be nice if you stopped egging them on...
Clerk: You're here. I just couldn't lose such an opportunity when I can get away with it.

Rayla: Well, you had your moment of satisfaction at least...Now then gentlemen, let’s head outside.
Thug 1: Guess we have no choice…Alright boys, let’s let her have it!
Gang: YES!!!
Clerk: Show them whose boss.

Rayla: I’ll make sure of that.

As they get out, Rayla was having some trouble tying her hair without a mirror.


Rayla: Oh man...I haven't done this in a while...
Thug 1: Are you screwing with us or something?

Rayla: Don't mind me, you can attack first if you want. I don't really care for old-school chivalry.

Music: Isolated Fight

Thug 2: You asked for it then...HAAAAA!!!

He went for a flying kick, Rayla sidestepped from it. Then, she started to dodge a multitude of attacks while making them trip and running into walls.

Thug 3: Urgh...

Rayla: Almost there...
Thug 1: *pulls another knife* You're friggin dead!

Rayla: Tch...This is such a drag...

The thug goes for an attack, but Rayla does a spin kick that sends the knife away.

Thug 1: No way!

Rayla: And done! Whew...thought that was going to take forever.
Thug 1: Crap!

Rayla: And now...it's my turn!

She picks up one of the downed thugs, then spins him around, hitting his other friends and launching him away in the process.

Thug 1: We're being demolished...

Rayla: ...
Thug 1: Urgh...TAKE THIS!!!

He goes for a punch, but is hit in the gut instead with a kick. The gang members were all laying on the ground in pain. Their leader was barely standing after the beating.

Thug: Dammit…Why didn’t someone warn us of this?

Rayla: Promise me that you’ll never come back here again.
Thug: Tch…

Rayla: What’s that? Maybe the first beating wasn’t good enough of a message.
Thug: O-Okay…we got it…We’re gone! Scramble! Out of here for good…Is that okay?

Rayla: If I hear that you guys have been stirring trouble again, I’ll make sure you’ll never come back to this city. Threatening someone’s life is no joke and it is not to be taken lighly. Now get out of my sight!

They all flee in terror from her, the Clerk and the Boss comes out of the store.

Music: Conclusion Track

Boss: Seems like my trust in the police force was misplaced…Guess I owe an apology to my employee.
Clerk: You were still worried about me when you called them, so no need to apologize.
Boss: I see…
Clerk: Anyway, thank you very much for saving me Rayla. You’re as much as a legend as they talk about.

Rayla: I’m no legend…I just like helping people.
Clerk: Anyway...Boss, Can I give her some money?
Boss: Be my guest.
Rayla: Oh please…I don’t really it...No need for rewards
Boss: In that case, take this money as payment for your excellent party-time job. Who knows, if you come back here again, maybe you’ll be a better cashier than my employee over here.
Clerk: B-Boss…
Boss: It’s the truth…This is not the first time you’ll leave it unattended because of you being such a worrywart.

Rayla: Hihihi! Well then, I guess I can accept this payment.
Boss: Thanks, and comeback soon. We’ll throw in a discount if you ever show up.

Rayla: I’ll make sure to remember that.

As she leaves, she starts thinking to herself.


Rayla: (These people still somewhat believe in the police force…But even if they are good people in the force, their efforts are hindered by the corrupt ones.)

Rayla: (Mister Clerk, good luck on your job.)

Rayla: (Now that I think about it…I never caught his name.)

Rayla: Oh well…Maybe some other time.

Fleeting Memories School - 1st Year Classroom D

After touring through the inner building of the school, their last stop was their classroom.


Nanase: And that's that! Did you like it Tatianna?

Tiane: Well...It was okay for a killing time.

Nanase: Great! Good to know you enjoyed.

Tiane: Meh...

Nanase: How about we talk a bit more until the teacher arrives?

Tiane: Depends...do you have any topics?

Music: Beginning of a Long Night


Nanase: Luckly, I do. It happened some days ago. I was walking back home, minding my own business, then, these evil janitors surrounded me.

Tiane: Wait, was it the same ones that attacked the school?

Nanase: Maybe...Anyway, they said "Come with us, we have a nice place for you to stay." like they were some kind of creepers.

Tiane: And what did you do?

Nanase: Since I didn't want my precious body more defiled than it already is...

Tiane: Huh???

Nanase: Those guys where blown away by my skills.

Tiane: Blown...away?

Nanase: They were so high that they will think twice before crossing paths with this gallant girl.

Tiane: Anyway...If they went after you...I'm certain it's because they know you have some kind of Psychic Power.

Nanase: Do I know?

Tiane: It's possible.

Nanase: Hmmm... (I'm not sure if EXS is the same thing but...Maybe they were after it...In that case, how did they know I'm an In-Birth?)

GV: Wait, how do you know they are after Psychic Users?

Tiane: Because...

Tiane pulls the compact glaive device.


Tiane: I was the one that rescued Kaori...And this compact glaive device helped me accomplish that. It was in their possession and they were trying to use it on her. However, it's possible she doesn't have those powers at all, since they based their deduction from a visit she made to a therapist. If a normal human use this device, they might lose a body function...Now guess what could've happened if they managed to succeed?

Nanase: That's...way worse than I expected. (That's just way worse than them being shady creepers...)

GV: (Then...those hearing aids...)

Tiane: Just remembering it puts me into a bad mood again...

Nanase: Grrr...I'm going really show it to them if we ever meet again.

GV: Kinda want feel bad for them for crossing you...But It's hard to since they're cruel like this.

Nanase: They'll really going to get what's comming for them!

Tiane: (She certainly used some kind of ability to get rid of them.) Well, good luck with that. The last thing I want is to fight them again...Battles are no fun if they are for your life.

Then, the teacher for the next lesson arrived. All the students took their steats. Then, Geeves covered his mouth with his left hand, then whispered to himself, but in reality, he was speaking to a tiny communicator.


GV: Did you hear all that?

???: Positive...It pretty much confirmed what we suspected so far. Sumeragi Group is involved with the events of this city. Our next step is to find out where is their hideout in this place.
GV: Should I keep up being infiltrated?
???: That's right. Try asking the girl holding the compact glaive where she got the info about this suspected Psychic User girl. That will be where you'll look next.
GV: Roger. I'll do that once the classes are over.
???: Over and out! Good Luck!

Rayla: ...

Music: Thick Forest of Secret Treasures


Miolina: Hello there Rayla. Haven't seen you in a while.

Rayla: Huh? Oh, it's you.

Miolina: What's the matter? You look so spaced out. Also, are you leaving school early?

Rayla: Leave me be.

Miolina: Alright...Anyway, I have some spicy info for you today.

Rayla: Not interested.

Miolina: I beg to differ. I assure it is of your interest.

Rayla: How so?

Miolina: Have you ever heard of an assassin called The Blue Reaper?

Rayla: Not really...

Miolina: Because the police never really released info about him to the public because his M.O would induce mass panic. He's only really famous around bandits yet some of them still treat him like some kind of urban legend.

Rayla: And this concerns me how?

Miolina: I was getting there...you see, the people he kills are dangerous criminals, making him pretty much a vigilante. I'm sure your pacifist nature is against this huh?

Rayla: ...What is his M.O?

Miolina: So I've finally caught your attention! Here's the clue: He uses ice magic to kill his victim.

Rayla: !!!

Miolina: Now then...which active Ancestor Family wields the power of ice again? If your answer is the Platinum Family, you're ri-

Rayla: Shut up! Karin and Nicholas would never resort to murder!

Miolina: Are you so sure? The situation gets direr as the days pass. Nothing is done to change the big picture and someone needs to take drastic measures to stop this madness.

Rayla: And what makes you think I'll believe your absurd story? I'll say it again, they would never do it!

Miolina: You can always fact check. Maybe talk to someone that is also gather info like me. Maybe the guild knows, maybe someone else does, you have to earn your reward.

Rayla: ...Just get out of my sight.

Miolina: As you wish! I hope the rest of your day goes well.

Miolina leaves Rayla by herself.


Rayla: (No...I refuse to believe this is true.)


(I mean...Karin values life more than anyone...since she's at risk of dying at any moment. I certainly can't seem her as this assassin...)


(And if Nicholas ever used his powers, Karin would be notified about it. Miolina said, his M.O. would cause mass panic since the Platinum Family is active, so Karin would do anythig to stop her brother and this whole Blue Reaper thing would be gone for sure.)


Rayla: (Miolina isn't known for lying, so even if her intention was to tick me off, this assassin might actually exist. I may have to investigate more about it...But who could give information?)

Then, she remembers that The Blue Reaper's reputation is mostly within the criminal community.


Rayla: (Maybe the Freelers Gang knows something, I may have to talk with their boss.)

With her mind set, Rayla started to search for their hideout.

Celest Gold Family Pagoda - Bernard's Office

Music: elegy of the bulletproof glass

As they've met the current head of the family, their entire reunion was mostly business talk. While Mr. F wasn't really interested, he had to show interest in the family's agriculture business in order to get his attention and they even came to agree on a partnership.


Mr. F: Well then, you can send me the contract papers at a later date. I'll be sure to sign them as soon as possible.

Bernard: It was a pleasure doing business with such an important figure.

Mr. F: Now then, with that done, how about a casual conversation? Unless of course, you're busy with something else.

Bernard: It's okay, I have some time to spare.

Bernard requests one of the servants to bring some tea. Hiagor finally had the opportunity to ask his questions without it looking like detective work. He had a hunch that Ancestor Families didn't like to talk about inner feuds, much less wanting it to leak to the public.


Hiagor: So Mr. Celest, you're part of such a powerful family, yet choose to keep on with the agricultural business...Why is that?

Bernard: Well...It's because we're nothing more than just supports. The branching family can only support the main one...If the main family falls, we pretty much fall apart as well without a leader.

Hiagor: Now, now...Don't bring yourself down too much. You manage your business so well...

Bernard: It's about strenght...Being born in the branching family automatically makes me unworthy of even thinking about inheriting the Family's Holy Blade. I might be strong, but in the long run, I'm not sure if I can even make a difference.

Hiagor: I see...That's what you meant by support.

Bernard: My little brother is a little upset by this...I've been doing my best to convince him to stop before he gets hurt...he's the only family I have now so...I would hurt me if something happened to him.

Hiagor: Only family huh? If I remember correctly, your other living relative is your cousin from the main fami-

Bernard: She abandoned her duties...she means nothing to us anymore.

Mr. F: Is this why you refused to offer at least financial support to her? Surely, she would've needed at least this.

Bernard: That's how her parents choose to live...like any other normal person. Instead of living within the pagoda, they choose to live in a normal house instead. If anything, she's most likely thrilled to live as a homeless.

Hiagor: (Except she's living in an orphanage right now...But seriously though, this family needs to reconcile.) I see...Sorry for mentioning such a touchy subject.

Bernard: It's okay...you didn't knew...besides, I told you anyway. It's not often I get to tell this story to someone I trust. I kinda needed to vent off a bit.

Mr. F: I'm assuming this stays between us right?

Bernard: Exactly. As long as you tell me something about you. This story wasn't exactly for free.

Mr. F: In my case...my parents aren't capable of having a child, so they adopted me to inherit the family's business...That's pretty much all there is to know about me.

Bernard: What about you Mr. Secretary?

Hiagor: Me? I used to work for the police...However, I wasn't really satisfied with how they were doing things so I left. Then, I've started living by doing favors to people, which was when Mr. F approached me with his infinite kindess and got me in this.

Mr. F: There you go again with the exagerated compliments.

Hiagor: But it's true. He teached me a lot about the world of business. Plus, I can also double as a bodyguard.

Bernard: I see. Seems like Mr. F is a naive as the stories speak.

Mr. F: I can't help it. I really like helping people with my wealth. Well then, we have to go now. See you another day Mr. Celest.

Bernard: Have a good day.

Moments later, they were at the entrance.


Mr. F: So...did you get what you wanted?

Hiagor: Yes...I got enough material to start Igniting the Flame of Revolution.

Mr. F: Good to know. I think I'll actually watch your confront with Miss Celest.

Hiagor: You don't really have to.

Mr. F: I'm really interested in this whole endeavor...Besides, If I'm going to help the city, might as well going all the way through and support its possible saviours.

Hiagor: Heh...In that case, I won't stop you.

Fleeting Memories School - Sports Area


Nanase: And this place is self-explanatory. We have the tennis courts over there, the soccer pitch over there, the basketball and volleyball gyms in that direction with the swimming pool right behind them. There's also the tracking field, which I'm sure you're going to love since you like jogging. Some other clubs also reside in this area.

Tiane: The corners are at 90 dregee angles...Is this normal?

GV: Now that you mention it...You're right.

Nanase: Whoa! If someone comes running at full sprint, they might not stop in time and go off track.

Tiane: I-Is this some kind of intensive trainning? I'm so up to it now!

Nanase: Yep, I knew you were going to like it. Well then, our next stop is the interior of the school building.

Tiane: (But I want to admire that tracking field more.)

Nanase: Move it up, time's ticking!

Rayla: Seems like my guess was correct.

Ted: Wait, you knew...

Rayla: I suspected it...but someone convinced me to stay quiet about it.

Music: Embrace of Dreams

Rayla stood up and walked towards Lucent, but Reeta stood between the two.


Reeta: No Rayla! I won't let you lay a finger on him!

She throws a punch, Rayla avoids it and holds Reeta's arm.


Rayla: Ted...Seal her.

Ted: Sorry about this...HA!!!

He slaps a sealing charm on Reeta's forehead. Since she didn't have any magic aura to break it, she fell on the ground paralyzed.


Reeta: N-No...

Then, Rayla stared firmly at Lucent's face.


Rayla: Listen here Lucent...you seem to have the wrong idea about me. I believe that people should live to shoulder the weight of their actions. If you thought you could provoke me with your confession, then too bad, it didn't work. I'm not going to let you run away with suicide, even if it wasn't your fault.

Reeta: Wha...

Rayla: Just looking at your interations with other people just tells me how kind you are...What would you think it would happen if you little plan actually succeeded? Reeta, Kaito, Lady Amara, Kiragi...The other kids at the orphanage...They would be saddened by your death for sure. So instead of wanting to die...live...live to your fullest, never give up on your life. Make sure another accident like that doesn't happen. If you really love your friends, I'm sure you will do your best to control that power of yours.

Ted: ...

Reeta: Rayla...

Rayla: That's...all...If this didn't convince you...then I have nothing else to say.

She turns her back and leaves the rooftop. Ted removes the seal on Reeta.


Reeta: (I didn't trust her again...Rayla...forgive me...I just...can't think of anything else other than protecting Lucent's wellbeing.)

Resolves UNITED under one SKY - Kael Taiyou X Magus Dream

Fleeting Memories School - Rooftop

Music: 少女の旋律


Rayla: It's okay. If anything, it did explain a lot more about you two.

Ted: Learning all the elements and teaching them to other people huh? Seems like the people from your world really have it easy. The normal humans from this world can't learn magic unless they are born from Ancestor Families, and even still, you're restricted to only one element or none at all...And the ancestor families that wield the elements of Fire, Thunder, Earth and Water are...some are inactive while others are gone... We do have Darkness, Light, Ice and Wind. Don't ask about healing magic though...Not even we know if it exists or not. Only some Heat Aura users manages to become full-fleged Chi Masters due to the extremely harsh physical trainning. And Psychic Users are only showing up recently...Nobody knows much about them yet...People aren't exactly researching about them in a good way...

Reeta: (I still don't know much about my powers...My fight with Rayla was the first and only time I've used them with some proper control...but I never bothered to experiment more with them.)

Rayla: Still...maybe you should try getting some physical trainning Marina. While our magic is largely of the destructive type, our physical growth is quicker than normal humans, and we can increase it even further with something called enhancement magic. For short, every Ancestor Mage doubles as a fighter as well, and some families even specializes in it, like the Blue Tsurugi Family, who are able to wield massive swords with ease, they even get swords custom made for them. The Akari Family who are the experts in magic-tech...though only them can use it effectively for now...and the Cid Crimson Family. They are born devoid of a magic powers, but possess great reflexes and strenght...but in exchange, they are also born with a disability. (Much like Tiane...but she doesn't have all the strenght like them.)

Ted: Now look who's talking too much...us!

Rayla: Yeah...Kinda got carried away...but we were going to explain this sooner or later anyway, so I'm glad we said it.

Fleeting Memories School - 1st Year Classroom D

Meanwhile, Tatianna was pressing her forehead on the desk. Then, someone approached her.


Girl: Hey Tatianna, you were impressive answering all those questions like they were nothing.

Tiane: (Darn...why the hell the teacher said...)

Teacher: "I bet you couldn't answer these in a million years."

Tiane: (...as if she knew that I can't back down from a challenge? I fell for it like a chump...)

Boy: Guess I got some rivalry here.

Tiane: I only need one rival...Braidy Four Eyes.

Boy: Well, If you say so.

Miolina: Hey! Are you guys trying to hog the "newcomer"? We already promised to tour the school together.

Girl: Don't act so stingy Miolina, you know we can share.

Miolina: Actually...You can stay with her for today. I just remembered I had something important to do?

Tiane: And that is?

Miolina: Staying on line to get today's special at the cafeteria.

Tiane: O...kay?

Miolina: Have fun! Toodles!

Miolina darts away from the room.


Tiane: Is she always like this?

Girl: If you mean cherry, the answer is yes. She's a nosy cherry girl.

Tiane: Guess that curiosity of hers also extends to her hunger...Anyway, let's get this over with...

Girl: Calm down there. Let's get through introductions first.




GV: And I'm Geeves, GV for short. Nice to meet you.

Tiane: So...Where are we going first?

Nanase: The school's entrance. That's where the cherry blossoms greets us during spring.

Tiane: Hmmm...Well, whatever... (It's not like I see them all the time in Spring Zone anyway...)

Without much enthusiasm, Tatianna followed Nanase and GV towards the school's entrance.

Fleeting Memories School - Corridors

As she was coming back from the Faculty Office, Tiane kept overhearing the gossip about the fight.


Tiane: (Seems like this Queen person must've been a real jerk to the entire school for this fight to generate such buzz. I better not lose a second of it.)

Then, she arrived at the door of her classroom.


Tiane: (Alright...this is it...The time to meet my classmates for the first and last time.)

She enters the room, it was mostly filled up save for some seats, they were all busy with the gossip to even notice her. She managed to get a seat near the window.


Tiane: (Here, now I have a place where I can avert my gaze to.)
???: Hey, haven't seen your face before. Are you perhaps a transfer student?

Tiane: (Of course...it can't be that easy.) What do you want?

When she turns around, she sees a girl with a hairstyle way too similar to someone she knew.

Music: A king of apathy


Tiane: Heh...What is this? Are you The Holy Hammer's fangirl? You got the asymmetry wrong.

???: More like I'm her opposite to be honest.

Tiane: Huh? That doesn't make any sense.

???: She's the Ancestor Mage of Light...or at least she would be had she inherited the Family Holy Sword and awakened to her true element. Me on other hand, uses the EXS of the Obscure Lightining.

Tiane: EXS? What is that?

???: It's an ability that basically any normal person can attain.

Tiane: !!!

???: Ah! Seems like I picked your interest.

Tiane: No...Not really...

???: W-What do you mean?

Tiane: I've learned my lesson about attaining mysterious kind of powers. I would probably just try to kill Rayla again while being drunk by it. I want to defeat her on my own terms.

???: I see...That's Too bad! Guess I'll find someone else to tempt this power with. You can stay with your impossible dream.

Tiane: You do that.

???: Now then, changing subjects, have you noticed how cherry these people are when talking about the fateful duel between our gracious Queen and the transfer student?

Tiane: How would I not? They all seem ready to see the Queen burn to the ground.

???: They are like this, but if it was "that" person, they would actually feel sorry for the poor transfer student instead.

Tiane: Who?

???: The Devil of the Thorny Roses, Miss Sorano Youkou.

Tiane: Still doesn't ring a bell.

???: Doesn't surprise me. I mean, you're a newcomer after all. Let me explain: She's this 3rd Year Student who has made herself known for pretty much beating up anyone she doesn't like, deeming pretty much anyone below her as thrash. I heard that she's been like this since she was a 1st year.

Tiane: The heck? How is she still even studying here?

???: Don't tell anyone I said this but... *leans closer* Rumor is...she's actually a Mafia Princess...Most likely, a patriach of a family or even the chairman of a clan. She's threatening the school to change her grades so that she can graduate.

Tiane: (Oh boy...) I-If that's the case, then why does she even come here in the first place?

???: Probably to talk with someone who she has business with.

Tiane: D-Does Rayla knows about this? I mean, she studied here last year.

???: As a matter of fact, Rayla's presence here made the Princess behave with more caution. She only ever hits the ones that directly bumps into her for "dirtying her perfect body."

Tiane: I see...

???: Result: Her visits are rarer...I would say at least once ever 15 days. I assume she's afraid that a possible defeat by the Holy Hammer would deal a killing blow to her clan's confidence.

Tiane: I doubt that. You see...Rayla doesn't directly go after criminals...So even if they bumped by chance and Miss Thorny Rose got her ass kicked, she would still do her criminal activities like nothing have happened.

???: I see....I forgot about that detail.

Tiane: You seem to know alot about...well, everything.

???: I'm really curious about things...even if going after such knowledge would put my life at risk.

Tiane: You're a weird one.

???: You can say that again.

Tiane: By the way...I didn't catch your name.

???: Oh, how rude of me. We've been talking for a while without exchanging names. Let me introduce myself then, I'm...




Tiane: I'm Tatianna Eagler, Tiane for short.

Miolina: Tatianna? You mean, that Tatianna who kept getting her ass kicked by The Holy Hammer?

Tiane: T-The same one...

Miolina: The teachers pretty much gave up calling your name since you've never came. How come you even made to High School?

Tiane: The boss forced me to study for a bit...saying that I at least should take the tests...By the way, how come you didn't notice it was me earlier?

Miolina: You have a forgetable face.

Tiane: D-Do I?

Miolina: Yep! Bland as a normal person. You really do not look unique at all.

Tiane: W-Well...Shut up! Let's stop for now...Maybe we can talk later.

Miolina: Sure thing! I'll look foward to it, my new friend! Maybe I'll tour you around the school when it's lunch time.

Tiane: Friend huh?

Music: A day in the girl's mind


Teacher: Morning my dear students!
Everyone Except Tatianna: Good Morning Teacher.

Teacher: I've received some interesting news today. Our friend Tatianna Eagler finally decided to study with us.

Tiane: Only for one da-

Teacher: Please, introduce yourself to your classmates.

Tiane: D-Do I have to? I'm pretty sure everybody knows my name by now.

Teacher: Your name sure, but what about yourself?

Miolina: Why don't you go on right ahead? I'm sure it's going to be fun.

Tiane: Nobody asked how fun it was going to be.

Wanting this to be over fast, Tatianna stood in front of the entire classroom. Some of the students were chatting between themselves.

Student #1: Hey, isn't she that girl that keeps picking fights with that other girl? I saw them fighting a lot.
Student #2: Might be the same one...I've heard she's part of a gang.
Student #3: Oh no! What if she goes after my lunch money?
Student #4: She might bring her companions if we contrariate her...Just like the Thorny Rose.
Student #5: I told my mom I didn't want to study here...

Girl: Sigh... (How pathetic...)

Boy: (They sure do like to take the wrong conclusions way too fast.)

Teacher: Alright, be quiet for a moment...Now Tatianna, if you may.

Tiane: My name is...

Teacher: Look directly at them.

Tiane: Oh c'mon!!!

Teacher: Don't worry. No one will bite your face off.

Tiane: That's...not the issue...

Teacher: I'm sure you were shy like this when you used to hang out with the Freelers Gang.

Tiane: Well...

Teacher: So no need to worry, you'll get used to your friends with time.

Tiane: Fine...My name is Tatianna...

Teacher: Look foward, not down.

Tiane: Urgh...Fine. My name is Tatianna Eagler. Age 16. I live at the Glory Star Orphanage. I like challenging Rayla to a fight and to hang out with Granny Amara once in a while. Thanks to trainning a lot, I've become fond of jogging as an exercise. I know Spring Zone by the palm of my hand, knowing every tiny nook and cranny.
Student #6: That's cool! Can you teach me any kind of shortcut? Taking buses sucks.

Tiane: Well...I wouldn't really recommend it since some criminals also take those routes. You might bump into one by accident and...you can imagine the rest.
Student #6: Aww man...
Student #7: What's that thing on your ear?

Tiane: Oh these? They are hearding aids...I don't want to talk about it really...But don't worry, I can still hear you just fine with these on.

Teacher: Anything else you want to share with your classmates?

Tiane: Not really...Nice to meet them...I guess?

Teacher: Good, now take your seat, we're starting with math today.

Tiane: Okay... (Finally...)

Girl: See, it didn't hurt that much, did it?

Tiane: No...

Boy: Just relax! You're between friends here. Just enjoy yourself.

Tiane: Whatever...

She returns back to her seat, expecting the upcoming lesson to bore her out of her mind.

Rayla: (Guess it's safe to assume that their father sent them here because he wants to test their worth. I kinda feel bad for thinking he is a negligent one.) I'll be more than glad to help. I do have a personal vendetta against these monsters, so if you need something, don't hesitate in calling me.

Ted: In my case...I don't think I can give you an aswer right away...I'm still not confident enough about myself.

Rayla: Wait, you're actually considering...

Ted: As long as it doesn't involve harming someone, I'm sure I can help out with.

Rayla: I see...So there you have it. We'll also make sure to keep the existence of other worlds a secret...I'm afraid that if such info falls in the hands of the Mysterious Group...I don't even want to think the kinds of lenghts they would go to research that fact.

Ted: Your secret is safe with us.

Rayla: Well then, I'll keep my part of the promise and let you duke it out with Melanie. I always wanted to be around when she started to treat people badly so that I could teach her a lesson...But I have the feeling you'll give just the right punishment for her as well.

Spring Zone - Entrance to the Celest Family's Pagoda

Music: Raven

Guard: Halt! Who goes there!

Hiagor: I'm here to speak with Mister Bernard Celest Gold. The name's Hiagor Marlek.
Guard: Have you marked an appointment with him?

Hiagor: As a matter of fact, I'm currently Mr F's secretary. He called me to accompany him in the reunion.
Guard: Really now? Let me check...

Moments later, the gates opened, seemly getting the confirmation that what Hiagor said was true.

Guard: Sorry for the wait...You may enter.

Hiagor: That's good! (Thanks Farenheit for opening up a space in your busy schedule to help with my investigation...I want to make it up to you somehow, but I doubt my money can pay for an expensive dinner. I'm still paying for the loan that Sky Finance gave me, so I'm not exactly loaded in cash.)

He entered the place, admiring the beauty of the Celest Family's Pagoda as he walked towards it. He heard that while the Celest Family were originally foreigners, they've let themselves being influenced by Unitia's culture.


???: There you are my dear "secretary". You're just in time.

Hiagor: I have to be always on point, or else I wouldn't deserve the spot I'm in right now, Mister F.



This man is known publicly as Mister F, an influential multibilionaire who assumed his family's business after his parents died of natural causes. He is in fact, adopted, belonging once to the Glory Star Orphanage. He has fond memories of that place and usually donates money to not only that place, but to charity events as well. Despite the rivalry his family has with the Shuuya Family and their Shuuya Company, he's good friends with Kurosato, even helping him out on his own charity events, as Kurosato himself can't use his family's money for it.


Hiagor: I'm not sure If I can ever repay you.

Mr. F: Just take me to dinner. I like hanging out with a friend after a rough day in the office.

Hiagor: You're not serious...are you?

Mr. F: 100% Serious! It doesn't matter where, after this, you're paying me for something to eat. Now let's get going, or we might was the time Mister Celest lent to us.

Hiagor: Now I owe you for telling me I can use my small allowance to pay you for a measly dinner.

Mr. F: Cut that out now.

Hiagor: How can I? You're too generous. That's rare among rich people.

Mr. F: Yeah...but still, only a dinner is good enough for me.

Then, they climbed the stairs to reach the top floor, where they would meet Bernard, who was waiting for them.

Rayla: Other...world...

Surprisingly enough, Rayla spoke in a rather solemn voice, as if she had realized something after seeing Marina's book and the kind of magic and technology it possessed. A terrible image from the past was flashing through her mind once more.




Rayla: So, other worlds do exist...

Ted: Rayla? What are you talking about?

Rayla: Right...Let me tell you the reason of why I believe her. Several years ago, I used to hang out with my friends at the lone tree in the grasslands. One day, these strange creatures appeared out of some portals above us...And they've devoured my friends.

Ted: R-Really?

Rayla: I managed to awaken my powers in time to save myself...At the time, nobody believed my story and declared that my friends went missing. Years later, and the central part of this city was overrun by the same monsters that attacked my friends. That area had to be isolated. From what I've heard, they can't keep those monsters captured for too long, they simply summon a portal and leave. I didn't want to believe it because it sounded plain crazy...but I've came to the conclusion that they do come from another world or dimension...

Ted: I understand now. I'm inclined to believe Marina as well.

Rayla: Marina...Let me bother you with one more question...You came to this place because of these monsters...right?

Ted: (Geez, I haven't seen Rayla this depressed...But then again, she's relieving some bad stuff that probably still gives her nightmares...)

Ted: (She saw firsthand how her friends died...Yet I've never saw how my family perished. She made an oath that made her stay strong...while I've developed a fear for hurting people...Dammit, when I'm going to decide what my path will be?)

Ted: This is ridiculous. I'm...technically a noble too, but I would never accept such duel. Please Rayla, say no to all of this.

Rayla: Yes. Go right ahead.

Ted: See? She disagre...

Ted: Wait, WHAT?

Rayla: Because, I'm in no position to stop someone from dueling when I kept accepting Tiane's sneak attacks on me. So go on ahead, just make sure it doesn't go too far.

Tiane: Ah, I know what you mean. You could've just run away from such minor nuinsance such as myself...

Tiane: (When I really think about it....It makes my efforts look way more insignificant...She always knew she could win because of her Ancestor Mage bloodline...Always choosing to fight to show that I had no chance at all.)

Rayla: However, there is something you need to do before I let you do whatever you want. Ted, come here for an moment.

She asks him with a whisper about The Kingdom of Arcadia, and got the answer she expected. Then, headed towards Marina and whispered in her ear.


Rayla: You have to tell me the truth about who you really are. Both of you are no ordinary people and I know that. Meet me at the rooftop and we'll talk more.

With that, she heads towards the school building, with Ted following behind her.


Andorina: What do you guys think she whispered to her?

Tiane: It's a threat...Most likely...No, definitively a threat. She can be scary like that.

Reeta: But why though? What did she do wrong?

Andorina: (Well, if she's going to be busy at the rooftop, maybe I should start gathering the get-well cards during lunch.)

Tiane: Still, this duel seems to be something worth watching.

Reeta: Of course you would say something barbaric like that.

Tiane: Well then, time to ask what class I'm actually in since I was enrolled against my will...
