Chapter 1
"Kamito, if we destroy the forest we should arrive faster." Restia said nonchalantly like it wasn't even a problem.
"You are right Restia, but that old hag will be very angry if we do that." Kamito stated.
"But Kamito! We are walking in this damn forest for like 1 hour, and we don't even know if we are going the right way in the first place!" Restia said with a irritated voice.
Kamito didn't reply, this scene has been going on for 1 hour. Greyworth sent them a letter and told them to come here at the academy. Kamito was very reluctant but had to go, what got him to go was the warning in the letter.'If you dont come, I will tell everyone your location and reveal your secret.' He didn't really mind if she told everyone his location, but he didn't want anyone to know his secrets, and because of that he decided to come at the academy.
*Splash* *Splash*
The two heard the sound of water being splashed and turned at the direction from where the sound came from. They saw a lake and a girl, apparently the girl was naked and taking a bath. Restia wasn't even fazed, Kamito was flustered at the view.
"Kamito! Stop looking at the naked girl or I will kill you!" The boy complied and looked away not wanting to face an angry Restia.
The girl in the lake froze on the spot after seeing the two. She immediatly covered her chest area with her hands after seeing what looked like to be a boy.'What is a boy doing here!?'
"We are sorry we intruded on your bath miss, but can you show us the way to the academy? We got lost in this forest because of a certain someone." Restia said the last part while shooting Kamito a death glance.
"Uhh, uhh. W-Well no problem, but what is a boy doing here!?" The girl in the lake said with a flustered expression on her face.
"Ara, Ara, what's with the face? And don't worry, the boy here is with me" Restia calmy replied to the girl's question.
"I-If you say so..." The girl replied and started to change in her clothes, which were at the side of the lake.
After dressing up in her clothes she decided to confront the two intruders.
"Who are you? And why are you here?" The girl asked the two while giving Kamito a death glare.
"My name is Restia and this boy's name is Kamito Kazehaya. We are here because Greyworth sent us a letter and told us to come, but we are now lost" Restia replied to the girl and showed her the letter.
"It seems you are telling the truth. Also, my name is Claire Rouge." Claire said, giving the letter back to Restia.
"Nice to meet you Claire Rouge, now can you show us the way to the academy?"
"I don't know why a boy should be here, but I will show you the way after I finish what I have to do here."
Claire was walking towards the shrine, in the shrine is supposed to be a very powerful sealed spirit. Though the two intruders don't know this fact and started to follow her. After arriving in the front of the shrine, Claire made her way to the barrier in order to dispel it so they could pass.
"Mhmm, I didn't know there was a shrine here in this forest."
"Of course you wouldn't know Kamito, this is the first time we are here"
"You two, are you gona follow me inside to?" Claire asked them before entering the shrine.
"Why not?" Restia and Kamito replied at the same time and started to follow Claire inside the shrine.
In the shrine it was very dark, though this was no problem for Kamito as he could see even in the darkest of places because of his training. But the other girls couldn't see, Claire made a small flame in her hand, enough to illuminate everything around them so they could see.
"If anything happens to you two, it will not be my fault."
"Do not worry about us miss Claire, worry about yourself."
After entering some clearing, the two saw a sword in a rock, both of them sensed incredible power coming from the sword and understood what Claire wanted to do. She wanted to make a contract with the spirit in the sword.
"Claire... I don't think its a good idea, sealed spirits are sealed for a reason." Kamito warned Claire.
"Just watch me" Claire said and started moving towards the sword. Placing her hands on the hilt of the sword, she started.
"Oh Noble Spirit Sealed in Thy Ancient Holy Sword, Thou Shall Accept Me as Thy Master and I Shall be Thy Sheath, Thrice I Command Thee, Exchange Vows With Me!" She pulled the sword out of the rock, Kamito and Restia were amazed she was able to do it, but suddenly the blade turned around and tried to stab Claire. Kamito seeing this made his way towards Claire with Thunderclap, moving with incredible speed towards Claire, he saved her from the blade which hit the ground.
"Are you okay?"
"Ugh, yea."
"We need to get out of here, this spirit is to powerful for you!" Kamito saying that, took Claire bridal style and started moving towards the exit. Restia wasn't very happy with this and made a very strange face. Kamito seeing her face knew what was going on 'She must be jealous, please endure more!'
"Let me down you pervert!" Claire shouted at Kamito and started struggling in order to leave Kamito's grasp. She succeded and made her way towards the sword spirit.
"Attack, Scarlet!" Having said that a cat coated in flames appeared and made its way to attack the sword spirit. The cat slashed the sword spirit and Claire threw a fireball at the sword. Alot of smoke was created in the process, Claire thinking she defeated the sword spirit made her way towards it, once noticing that the spirit was still intact she stoped moving.'Impossible, I used my full power in that attack! I should have won!' The next thing she saw made her heart break, Scarlet trying to protect its master jumped in front of the sword and then got cut in two.
"Noooo, Scarlet!" Having seen what happened she fell on her kness staring at the sword that cut her beloved contracted spirit with wide eyes. Horror and fear this was in Claire's eyes.
Kamito was looking at Restia "Should I do it?" "Do it already or she will die." Restia replied with what sounded like a very angry voice.'Of course she is angry, I'm trying to make a contract with another spirit...'
Kamito got in front of Claire and held his right hand in front of the sword, the sword stabbed Kamito in the palm of his right hand and stopped once he infused his right hand with divine power.
"Oh Noble Spirit Sealed in Thy Ancient Holy Sword, Thou Shall Accept Me as Thy Master And I Shall be Thy Sheath, Thrice I Command Thee, Exchange Vows With Me!"
To say Claire was shocked was an understatement, she couldn't believe her eyes 'A male!? Making a contract with a spirit, how is this possible?' After Kamito finished making the contract he started going unconscious.
Kamito woke up at the sound of voices 'It seems someone is arguing...' He then remembered what happened 'Oh right...'
"What do you mean I can't make him my contracted spirit?"
"He just saved your life, so spare me the drama."
"Ugh" Kamito tried sitting up but a hand pushed him back, it seems he is staying on something soft, the feeling is very familiar 'This must be Restia's lap.'
"Don't try to move yet, you are exausted after making a contract with another spirit..." Restia said with a worried voice, except the last few words which carried a tint of sadness.
'Oh right, she's jealous. I guess i'll need to make it up to her somehow...'
"W-What do you mean another spirit!?" Claire asked adverting her gaze at Restia.
"Just as the words say, another spirit." Restia replied with a shrug, though it was obvious on her face she was angry, Claire didn't notice this fact and kept arguing.
"Then where is the other spirit?"
"Obviously, I am that spirit." Restia said pointing at herself.
"Spare me the lies and tell the truth" Claire shouted and swinged her whip at Restia, but the whip never made it as it disintegrated once the black flames from Restia's hands touched the whip. The attack emanated so much divine power that Claire felt chills go down her spine, she gulped at the display of power before her.
"So you are telling the truth..."
"Yes I am, now don't anger me anymore or I will need to show you more powerful attacks other than this pitiful one."
'That was pitiful!? But still, how can a man make a contract with a spirit? Not only that but he has two! I should not anger her or I will surely die.' Claire gulped again after hearing the warning.
"Restia, I think we need to go see that old hag or she will get angry..." Kamito said after getting some of his energy back.
"Yes indeed" Having said that, Restia helped Kamito get up and they started walking towards the exit of the shrine. But not before being stoped by Claire.
"Where do you think you're going!? That man has to take responsability for stealing my spirit!" Claire angrily said, her twintails already dancing in the air.
"R-Responsability!? You must be kidding me, I have more important things to do. Besides, that spirit wasn't even yours to being with, maybe if it was, you could call that stealing. So for now we will be going." Kamito retorded then made his way towards the academy with Restia.
Claire was left spechless at what he said, deep inside she knew that the spirit wasn't even hers to being with.
'I will try to get him be my contracted spirit, I need that power so I could find the tru-' Claire stopped thinking after hearing some explosions not so far away from her current position.
