Starting with a dark screen a voice is heard as a black and red sailor uniform is shown speaking...

["DON'T! PLEASE, DON'T! FOR GODS'S SAKE, STOP!"] The sailor uniform is then ripped into pieces as a girl wakes up in the middle of the night wearing orange pj's with bunny's all over them screaming a name.

"Senketsu!" She looks around herself seeing the family around her all sound asleep and snoring when a siren begins to wail. "Huh?"

Then another girl with a bowl cut and in a white & blue school uniform suddenly screams awake and starts rushing around the place. "We're gonna be late, we're gonna be late, we're gonna be late, we're gonna be late, we're gonna be late! Hurry up and get dressed, Ryuko! Oh, what am I gonna do?"

"Jeez, chill out, Mako. It's like 4:00 in the morning."

["Help me! I'm being murdered! Help!"] Ryuko looks outside to see Mako's mother cleaning the sailor uniform from earlier in Ryuko's dream.

"Come on, Ryuko! It's the big day!" Mako says dragging Ryuko outside

Outside the city, three people stand outside of it. The first a young girl with white hair in a maid attire as she hides a knife inside the sleeve of her dress. The second a boy with a red leather jacket and black pants. His bleach-blonde hair looking almost white in the early morning light as his piercing blue eyes look to the city in disgust. And finally a black haired, red and yellow eyed male who's wearing a red jacket with the Canadian flag on his left sleeve and a picture of a blue maple leaf on the back of the jacket and above it in white letters reads Toronto. As he steps forward and closes the magic circle behind them his eyes peering into the city as if judging it at a single glance.

"Well? This is... different."

"I'll say. Though, it's what you'd expect from the Kiryuin's." The blonde scoffs.

"Master Daniel I'm detecting at least two sources of high magic in the city."

"Yeah. I sense it too. They're not hiding themselves. Which is strange. We might as well see what this place is like on the inside." Daniel says.

"Could do without the annoying ringing though." Alan mutters.

The other two nod in agreement as they enter the city and climb a building and jump from roof to roof to avoid the crowd of, as Alan calls them "lemmings," they do however notice a pair riding a guitar case and Daniel smiles seeing the pair as he looks to his own case he brought with him. Up ahead is the roof they were about to jump to is suddenly destroyed and a man in a white uniform blocks their path.

He laughs evilly. "Do I detect some confusion, Ryuko Matoi?"

"Maybe not from this Ryuko, person, but there some here. Are you with the student council?" Daniel asks.

"I'm Ira Gamagori head of the Disciplinary Committee. And why aren't you three in uniform!?"

Daniel recoils at his yelling. "Yeah, we just transferred here today. We uh, didn't know there was a uniform. We're the three transfers from Kuoh."

"Ah. The three Kuoh Academy students. Then you must be Daniel Star, Skylar Young & Alan Mankoi."

"Yeah, that's accurate, I guess." Alan notes.

"But seriously, is there anyway we can speak to the student council? We need to discuss... what's the word... living arrangements and such." Daniel says.

"You three will start as No-Stars and live here in the slums. As such you must participate in No Tardies Day!"

Skylar raises a brow. "I'm sorry, in what?"

"Pay attention new students! You are participating in No Tardies Day. Once every Trimester. You will be required to run an obstacle course, designed by the Disciplinary Committee! It begins at 4:00AM, when the siren goes off in the slums. No-Star Students will then have to evade the Disciplinary Committee's traps on the way to school. The objective is to make it to the academy by the time the first bell tolls at 8:30 AM! But if you happen to be late, you will be expelled on the- what the hell! That is not a regulation uniform!"

The trio look to the girl in the bunny pajamas and jump from the roof down wards and land next to her all with smug smiles on their faces.

"I don't know, looks fine to me. Maybe a little small." Daniel teases.

"But my Kamui's still in the laundry! It's getting delivered!"

"Your what's in the laundry?" Daniel asks.

Ryuko scratches her neck, slightly embarrassed. "Um..."

"Doesn't matter to me. Anyway, Hey, big guy! Can we get started already or what? I'll be on campus in like... I don't know... three minutes tops."

Gamagori grins. "Confident are we."

"I've killed a literal god, its that bad."

Skylar turns to Daniel covering his mouth. "Master Daniel! We're not supposed to talk about that!"

Daniel swiftly swipes her hand away. "Ah! They won't believe it. Probably to dumb to."

Mako suddenly appears pressed against the pair. "Whoa! You killed a god? Wait, what kind of god? Like one of those weak like Demi-gods like in those books or a big god like the god! No he couldn't die... could he?"

"I take it back. Maybe it's dumb enough to believe in."

Ryuko smiles. "Sorry about her."

They watch as a large path way then forms and Daniel sighs as he calls it an impregnable barrier. He takes two steps forward and places a hand on it. It glows for a second then poof it's simply a sidewalk pathway to the school. Gamagori looks to him in shock as he pops his neck and looks directly at the big man.

"If you're going to have a day all about not being tardy, maybe use some magic to make it harder. Otherwise it's no fun. Come on you two." Daniel calls to Skylar & Alan.

Skylar groans. "Master Daniel! We not supposed to use our magic in the open like this!" She scolds

Alan follows after him. "She has a point."

"Yeah, well. I don't exactly care to waste time on this. I'm looking to find the person who can separate Ian and I." As the trio begin to walk the girl in her pajamas and her friend seems to walk just behind them Daniel turns around and faces them as he continues to walk backward. "Anyways, I'm Daniel. Nice to meet you. Do you happen to play guitar?"

"Huh? No. I uh... don't." Ryuko says confused.

"Then, why do you carry a guitar case?"

"To house my scissor blade."

Daniel raises an eyebrow. "Scissor blade?"

Ryuko then opens the case and draws a red half a scissor as Daniel looks to it unimpressed.

"Huh. Neat. Well, may I have your names?"

"Ryuko Matoi. And she's Mako Mankanshoku." Ryuko introduces the pair.

"Ryuko, & Mako, huh. Can you two tell us about this place."

Mako nods. "Oh, right you three transferred here today. I'll give you the quick run down."

"No, I've got it. We live in slums if we don't suck up to the Student Council President. And I have to fight the rest of the school in order to fight her."

"Okay. So basically, I have to beat people up to get her attention. May I have her name?" As they reach the school grounds a bright light shines and Daniel squints at it clearly being bothered by it. "Tch. Annoying."

Alan glares. "I can give you her name. Satsuki Kiryuin. A pain in the ass. Though she's got a nice one."

"Alan Mankoi! I thought I told you never to return to Honnouji."

"Yeah, well, I'm here as a student this time, sweet cheeks. Besides, we're not friends. We're simply ex-coworkers. Let's be honest. I hated your mother more than I hated you. "

"And those two with you. How did they get through the traps so easily?"

"With magic. I told you it was real. Trust me, your Life Fiber shit, doesn't stand much of a chance."

Daniel glances back. "Life Fiber?"

"Please magic isn't real." Satsuki dismisses Alan's rebuke.

Daniel sighs as he steps forward creating a magic circle at his feet and in his hand summoning a sword and then teleporting behind Satsuki to which she turns and attempts to slash him only for him to have to block it with some effort. "I assume, you're the student council President. Nice to make the acquaintance. I'm going to be honest. I don't think highly of this place already. But, I have a reason to be here. Someone at this school is just oozing with magical energy. If my hunch is correct, they are who I need to see. I just need to find them."

"You think it'll be that easy after you've attacked me."

"Let me clear here. I hold the power between us. Should I choose, I can stop holding back." He starts to use a bit of his strength at a noticeable crack is seen on her tower as everyone watches as the pair are face to face.

Satsuki hums. "Fine."

"One last thing. I'm not living in the slums. I'll take one of those middle district houses."

"Those are reserved for one star and two star uniformed students."

"Did I not make it clear. I'm making a demand." He lets out some of his aura and everyone can sense the bloodlust which makes Satsuki visibly shiver for a brief moment before she nods to him. And he smiles his aura vanishing with its arrival. "Alright then. I guess I'll see you around eyebrows. Oh, one last thing, I'll be needing the schedule for my friends and I."

Satsuki nods, slowly. "Right."

She extends her hand past Daniel and seemingly draws three papers from nowhere and hands them to Daniel, who vanishes and returns next to Alan and Skylar with the papers in hand.

The following day Daniel stands with Skylar as the pair look out onto the school campus. The pair glance to each other as she draws her knifes and Daniel sighs extending her hand and drawing a single sword.

"Master. We need to be sure we don't just rely on our magic to win fights we also need to keep our bodies in shape."

"I know. Well? What are you waiting for?"

She rushes forward and the pair immediately begin clashing as she and Daniel strike and counter strike with his swordsmanship, she knows she can't beat him in a straight fight however, she's far more maneuverable without the amount of weight she'd need to ensure her attacks had impact. In fact her knifes remind Daniel more of scalpels than anything else.

'If that is the case then it'd be best for me not to let her get too close. She'll go for precision, and not make reckless moves. It seems Tia taught her well.' He thinks as the pair continue despite the fact that, Daniel feels someone watching them fight like this. That is until a kendo stick with a sign attached to it lands between the pair.

CHALLENGE TO A DUEL
Attention, Daniel Star Of Second Year Class K.
I will be waiting in the Kendo Club dojo after school - Uzu Sanageyama

Daniel hums. "So, my first opponent is revealed."

"Don't take your eye off the ball!" Skylar shouts attempting to strike at Daniel from behind, but stops to a sword being pointed at her throat and her scalpels being deflected out of her hands. Before she smiles when the sword is removed from its position and she bows before going to grab her weapons.

"You've gotten better with them since the last time we exchanged blows."

Skylar bows. "Of course, sir. Mother trained me daily before she vanished. But, I'm wondering, what do you think will happen while we are gone?"

"Simple. Sis will have to learn to maintain the leadership role for my peerage. After all she'll need to learn to take it up if I do die in a year." Daniel says solemnly.

"Sir?"

"I don't plan on it however. Let's go."

Daniel's Point of View

After school I stand inside a gym with everyone in attendance. I stand in the middle of a fight pit stretching as Alan & Skylar stand behind me in front of the crowd.

Sanageyama grins, looking down on me. "Well look who showed up."

"I was challenged to a sword fight. As the Sword Master I cant decline the challenge."

"Sword Master? I've never even heard of you."

"Have you ever heard the rumors of the demon slayer in Canada? The Northern Yukon?"

"That's just a silly rumor. They don't actually exist."

"Trust me when I say this. Sometimes... fact is far, far stranger than fiction. Caliburn!" I extend my hand up and Caliburn shines brightly being summoned to my hand and I point it forward at Sanageyama who smiles seeing another sword.

"So you do truly make swords appear from nothing."

"They're not appearing from nothing. I'm simply transferring them to our dimension from another plane of existence I have control over. I essentially store swords in a pocket dimension and can summon them at my own behest."

"Interesting. Anything else you can do?" Sanageyama asks.

"I'm full of tricks. But... I won't let them all out of the bag so easily."

His uniform then sparkles as he transforms and I stretch and swing around Caliburn for a moment. "Three-Star Goku Uniform! Blade Regalia! Kamui's aren't the only things that can transform."

"I'm, sorry, a Kamui? Like Kakashi in Naruto? Whatever. Are you done showing off can we get this fight started?"

He then dodged as I start off slowly watching his movements. He doges fairly well despite the large fucking suit. He then attempts to strike me with kendo sticks, but they're blocked fairly easily by Caliburn some of them even breaking after coming into contact with the blade.

Sanageyama grins. "You're moves are predictable."

"Are they now? Maybe I should try a little harder..

"There's no way you can do better than that." Sanageyama is underestimating me, good.

"I didn't kill Loki with this power level. So let's amp it up."

I then twirl Caliburn around as I summon one of my throw away sand us the throw away to attack while Caliburn dodges and blocks him easily. He then speaks about some ultimate move to which I smirk. "If you're ultimate move is vision well then... Blinding spell. Light of Bartimaeus!" Sanageyama is stunned as he shouts in pain over his eyes when I slash through his armor with 'blinding' speed.

Mako smiles, watching in awe. "You did it! Daniel! You beat one of the elite four! Your amazing and fast! Yup! Yup! Yup!"

Sanageyama stands, now nude. "I'm not done with you yet!"

"Dude, put some pants on. There are lady's in the building." Daniel scolds him. He's then whacked by several whips as Daniel looks up to see Gamagori looking down on the pair.

"You're pathetic Sanageyama! You have disgraced the Elite Four!" Gamagori shouts.

"Look, I'm not a fan of it, but if you're into BDSM... I think I know someone who's sadist enough to help with that." Daniel says looking to Alan.

"Why did you look my way?" He asks.

"No, cause she shares the same first letter as you."

"Okay. Still fucking weird."

"Anyway, I'm gonna head home. Good day." And with that I walk away to our house in the two-star section as Skylar cleans her scalpels and Alan lays on the couch to relax. I go to make dinner and some spaghetti. The next day I arrive at the school early and while yawning look to see Sanageyama back again. I sigh and start walking past him.

"Where are you going?" He shouts.

"I don't give sore-losers second chances. So, what do you think you've done in one day that'll make you more suited than yesterday."

"I'm gonna show you what happens when you force a man to change."

Daniel hums. "Trust me. I've lived through that experience multiple times. But, I'll humor you. I won't use a blinding spell this time. "

Uzu then transforms into an upgraded version of his Blade Regalia and I close my eyes while drawing Caliburn & BlackMass. Sanageyama goes for the first attack however his weapon is caught by a single hand after I had sent away Black Mass.

"So, the dog can learn. It's a shame you can't learn faster." I pull him in and deliver a single punch which launches him back and immediately overheats his suit. I place my hand down and dispel the magic circle which superheats metallic objects when touched. "Let me make it clear to you. I rank amongst the strongest where I'm from. You're barely even a whining kitten next to a mighty lion. Even with Shingantsu you could never beat someone like me. Not without a Sacred Gear."

"How many years did you spend honing your skills?"

Daniel genuinely takes a moment to ponder, how many years had it been. "Frankly, too many. I've got class to attend."

Last week Daniel dealt with Sanageyama and as such they've been placed in the same boat as Matoi so now, Daniel, Alan, and Skylar sit and eat alongside Ryuko & Mako.

"How the hell are you so strong?" Ryuko asks. Daniel hums not answering. "Do you have some kind of Kamui of your own? Is it your jacket?"

Daniel raises a brow. "Kamui? I don't know what that is."

Alan grins. "Luckily for you I do."

Ryuko turns to Alan cautious. "And you are?"

"Alan Mankoi. A pleasure to meet ya. If my memory serves correctly, a Kamui is a piece of clothing usually in the form of a sailor outfit or for men a two-piece suit. This outfit is made purely by life-fibers. A special type of fiber that allows for the user of them to increase their physical abilities, though it's weak to magic. A simple fire spell will burn and destroy most life fibers. Though the more fibers in any given outfit the harder it is to destroy."

A knife then implants itself in Ryuko's food causing Skylar to sigh as she covers her food when a man steps down. "Ryuko Matoi! I'm president of the knife throwing club, Jack Naito's the name."

Skylar glares at Naito. "Seriously? You call that a good throw? The knife is ten centimeters away from the center of the plate! You fucking failure!"

Alan watches stunned. "Uh..."

"She uses knives and throws them, if you're even a millimeter off point she'll give you a mountain of shit." Skylar draws a scalpel of her own and throws it directly into the students nose before pulling back on the string attached to the blade pulling him downwards while extracting it. She grabs a disinfectant and cleans the knife once it returns to her hand and slips it back into her dress. This is immediately followed by Ryuko doing her ultimate move and extracting his life fiber. Quickly after a group of red strings launch at Ryuko which are blocked by a rather weak barrier by Alan who throws them up in the air and aims a finger gun.

"Flame of Undead." He says his finger launches a small flame that upon contact with the clothes burns them away as the life fiber within the suit is absorbed into Ryuko's Kamui.

This is quickly followed by a tightrope which is snapped by Daniel after nearly being hit with it. He interrupts the person by swiping their legs flipping them upside down before placing a hand to their face as they fall.

"Blasted Dance." The blast destroys the person and their clothes leaving no remains. "Freaks."

Alan sighs. "These club's are too specific."

Ryuko nods. "Yeah, what the hell?"

Mako perks up. "Oh, those guys all used to be the acrobatics club. They decided to split up 'cause of you, though."

Daniel sighs. "Gee! Way to make her sound like the toxic girlfriend in a friend group."

Ryuko glares at Daniel. "What'd you say?"

"A group of friends stop being friends because one of those friend's girlfriend didn't like his friends, and she has her own super toxic friend group. And god I've said friend too many times in that sentence."

Mako nods. "Yup. If someone can beat one of you four they get promoted to three-star. They have to be two-stars first and they have to be president of a club for that. So they split up and made new clubs. And that's why their coming after you now."

Ryuko sighs. "Jeez."

"So, you elevate yourself by being good with the totalitarian student council President."

"Huh?" Ryuko asks

"You essentially can only move up in the economy of this school by playing the game Satsuki sets out for you. If you don't then you live in the slums."

Mako raises her hand. "Smaller words please."

Alan sighs and looks as though he wants to strangle the pair.

"Bloody hell. You can only live better by doing what she says." Daniel says.

"Shall I prepare a warm towel, m- Daniel?" Skylar asks.

Daniel grabs at his forehead. "No... no..."

"What's with the maid dress?" Ryuko asks.

"I am employed by Master Star here as a maid and part of his bodyguards."

Ryuko raises an eyebrow. "You don't sound rich?"

"It's cause I'm not. Her mother worked for my family, so naturally, she grew up working with us. And that's the last we'll speak of this."

Skylar turns to him. "But-!"

Daniel turns to Skylar with a sickly-sweet smile. "The last we'll speak of this."

Skylar nods. "Yes sir."

He pinches the bridge of his nose as Ryuko breaks a wooden board from the school ground grabs a paintbrush and using black ink she got from... somewhere, writes 'Fight Club' on it before grabbing a chair and walking to a flat area, slamming the chair down and the board next to her, Mako propping it up, and stares forward. Sure enough, Ira Gamagori comes to question her.

"What's the meaning of this, Matoi?"

"What do you mean? Can't you read? I'm starting a fight club."

Gamagori scoffs. "Sure you are."

"You bet your ass we are." Ryuko points to herself and Daniel.

"Don't drag me into this." Daniel scolds.

Alan raises a brow. "Why not, you get to fight other people?"

"So?!"

Alan shrugs. "I'm in. What, scared to get hurt?"

Daniel deadpans to his blonde companion. "I hate you."

Ryuko continues while Alan & Daniel are talking. "You guys are forcing people to start all these lame clubs to challenge us. So, I'm starting my own. Say hello to the president of the fight club, Daniel Star."

Daniel suddenly turns to Ryuko. "Thefuckyousay?"

Gamagori huffs. "Do you honestly think a club like that will get approved?.

Bright lights then shine behind him causing Daniel to cover his eyes until shades are put on him by Skylar. Standing on her tower is Satsuki Kiryuin. "I approve this fight club of yours." Satsuki shouts.

Ryuko growls "Here we go again with her up there on her pedestal."

"It's a really dumb idea to be up there while wearing a skirt." Daniel mutters.

Skylar glances to him. "Daniel..."

"I'm just saying. Micheal knows I'm not interested in that."

Meanwhile in heaven

Daniel speaks on a screen. "Micheal knows I'm not interested in that."

Micheal smiles slightly, while looking at a button. "But what if you were?" click.

Back in Honnouji

"I see you've decided to take part in my system, Matoi, Star."

Daniel shakes his head. "Nope."

"Yeah, right! More like take apart your system and bring it down on top of you." Ryuko shouts.

"Could I perhaps see her grades! I think she's failing her language classes." Alan shouts.

"I am not!"

Satsuki hums. "We'll see. Just try not to let it go to your head."

"Let's get your paperwork sorted out. Star, you're the president?" Gamagōri turns to Daniel

"No I'm not. I said no."

Gamagori glares. "You think you have a choice?"

"After what I did to Sanageyama, I'd like to think so."

"Don't think! Do!" Gamagōri shouts.

"You wanna try running that by me again, bitch."

Gamagori turns to shout at Daniel. "Language!"

Daniel grins. "German!"

"What?"

"Ich höre nicht auf Mistkerle." Daniel steps back as he continues to stare at the ravenettes way. "Mako's the president. And Alan's her Vice-President." He grins.

Ryuko turns to Daniel. "Why don't you want to?"

"Three syllables, Pa-per-work." Skylar shivers along with Ryuko the pair's hair standing on end. Daniel walks away from the group. "Later shadow."

The next day

Daniel walks into the school yawning and waiting for him there are Ryuko, Mako, Alan & Skylar. "Yo."

Alan grins. "We've got a fight for you specifically."

Daniel sighs, eyes rolling. "Oh, joy."

"You'll be fighting Maimu Okurahama, President of The folk dance club."

"Folk Dance Club?" Daniel asks.

Alan grins a bit too cheery. "Yup. No time to waste, come on."

They walk to a portion of the school yard and Ryuko slams down the wooden board next to the confused boy.

"Maimu Okurahama, President of The folk dance club. Daniel Star of the Fight Club is here to fight you and take your uniform." She shouts, as Daniel is pushed forward by Alan.

Daniel glances back and forth. "Whoa, hold on a second. I'm not stripping a lady."

Maimu grins and stands confidently. "Keep dreaming! We're gonna dance on his corpse!" Music suddenly begins playing. "High Speed Mayim Mayim! Let's dance!"

Daniel is then surrounded by Folk Dance Club, his expression drops to annoyance. "I hate you all... Burning Impact."

From atop Satsuki's tower, Satsuki is sitting drinking some tea as a distant rumble causes a singular drop to land on her left leg stocking, she glares at the cloud of smoke rising from the location. Back at the sight of death and carnage all of the members of the folk dance club are nude and covered in ashes protecting them from any lewd headed viewers. The next few hours are headed by Ryuko, Alan, Skylar & Daniel fighting club after club. That night the three multi-chapter protagonists meet inside the two star condo they stole and sit in silence eating a meal that consists of ground beef, brown gravy and white rice. (Side note, I the author hate, Hate, HATE, this meal.) they're utter silence is so disturbing that if not for the sound of chopsticks on bowls one could reasonably assume the owner was dead. Their attention is gathered when the door opens to the condo and enters Satsuki Kiryuin, and with her, Ira Gamagori, and Nonon Jakuzure.

Daniel grins. "Welcome, to our humble abode."

Satsuki stares at him annoyed. "You stole this condo."

Daniel hums in agreement."Yes. We did. To be fair, the last house I was in was a mansion that was technically taken by killing a drug lord in Kuoh, so..."

Satsuki raises a brow. "You're also a bounty hunter?"

"No. I'm not. If you're looking for a bounty hunter, I'd recommend Asagi Phenex, of the Burning Phenex Clan. I'm a devil hunter. I hunt stray devils & demons, monsters, vampires, werewolves, and the like."

Satsuki takes a seat in front of Daniel, seemingly following the convention of Rias and her posse, of the leaders sitting across from each other. "Then why are you here? You personally sent the transfer papers for yourself. Mankoi was transferred here by the scientist AJ, and the maid came with you."

"There is a magical presence here, and I'm looking for someone who can separate me from the spirit residing within my Sacred Gear." Daniel openly admits.

Gamagori raises an eyebrow. "Sacred Gear?"

"A weapon given to individuals who'll likely become big names in international or even interspecies matters. Many of the great men of antiquity held sacred gears. From the righteous to the damned. From great hero's, like Catherine The Great, William The Conquerer, and Joan of Arc. And the same to the most hated men and women in history, like Adolf Hitler, King Henry the VIII, and Vladimir Lenin. 

Satsuki hums. "I see. And what is yours?"

"The Blade Master. I have a variety of powers that revolve around blades. I can summon blades, store them in my own personal pocket dimension, copy and store others blades into my own arsenal, and such. It may not sound powerful, but this Sacred Gear, killed one of the strongest beings to ever exist."

Nonon scoffs. "Please as if. It doesn't even sound strong enough to dent a cloud."

"The previous user of this gear used it to kill a literal god. I killed the Trickster God Loki with this gear. "

Alan punches Daniel in the arm. "Oi, that's supposed to stay a secret."

"He's dead, it doesn't matter at this point if an atheist knows that."

"And how would you know I'm not catholic, or Christian, or even Jewish?" Satsuki asks.

"Simple. The moment I mentioned that I've worked with devils before, you would've called me a heretic or a demon."

Satsuki hums. "I see..."

"Now..." Daniel leans forward. "Is there a reason you're here?"

"We want you to leave Fight Club?" Satsuki states bluntly.

"Why?"

"I wish to teach Matoi a lesson. One you seem to already know."

Alan nods. "That fortune acquired quickly and easily off the backs of others corrupts." Alan says.

Satsuki nods. "Exactly."

"I don't exactly care for the club. Truth be told, I'm only really involved with Matoi because being around her means I'm probably going to end up finding that source of magic I'm looking for."

"You don't mean this?" She holds out a picture in it is a young boy in a no-Star uniform with blue hair and blue eyes. She then clicks a button and on the tv a video recording begins to play. "We believe this boy is able to manipulate time and redo events if they don't go his way, and I'd like to extend an olive branch if it'll mean we deal with him."

The video shows the boy being caught skipping classes by Gamagori's lackeys when the camera stops for a moment after a blue glow and they see as he hides behind a wall until Gamagori's lackeys rush past his hiding spot and he sneaks away from them.

Daniel's eyes widen,ever so slightly. "So that's where you've been." He whispers. Daniel pulls from his luggage the five items made of clay and given color via magic, a glowing red ring, a green gemstone on a necklace, a black decaying piece of armor, an evolving tree with a white crystal in it, and finally a light blue eyeball that glows and has a clock that moves around time randomly.

Gamagori looks down to the clay creation. "What's that?"

"The location of the five relics of reality. The red relic of space, the black relic of death, the white relic of life, the green relic of order, and the blue relic of time... I know the location and who has each of the other four. And now I've finally found time." Daniel answers.

"And what do these relic do?" Satsuki asks.

"You can't handle them, if that's what you're thinking. Technically speaking, I've already died once to them."

Gamagori recoils. "Then how are you here?"

"Because, the version of me that died to them, is the version I'm trying to release from my Sacred Gear."

"So you're a reincarnate of the person in there?"

"More like... a reboot. Ian Star, the person that dwells in the Gear, died removing these five stones from his reality, in doing so they took him with them. By technical understandings, the timeline we live in, is the second timeline created from the removal of these relics from his."

Nonon Jakuzure, again, scoffs and rolls her eyes. "What a load of horse shit."

"That's what I thought at first too. Unfortunately it's all true. Each Crystal has its own unique property."

Satsuki sits as if she's a student learning from Daniel. "What do they do?"

Alan answers. "Space can teleport you anywhere the holder chooses, time can alter history or just retcon a few minutes of reality, life can revive and heal anyone from any state, and death artificially preserves the consciousness of those who possess it within the Black Jackal Armor."

"And the green one?" Jakuzure asks.

"Reigns in the powers of the others and can manipulate all four at once, but can be overpowered by all four being used at once against it."

Skylar nods. "A checks & balances if you will."

"I'll stop fighting for fight club, just get me in contact with time." Daniel extends a hand to Satsuki.

Over the next few days Daniel and the other three step back and away from the club and watch as Ryuko & Mako are slowly pitted against each other. The three even skip class to watch the goings on of the school. Skylar practicing her weapons capabilities, while Alan keeps tabs on the status of Satsuki's tower, meanwhile Daniel... he vanishes for hours and no one knows where he goes. When Ryuko & Mako inevitably fight, Alan & Skylar watch from the sidelines unmoved. That is until a magic circle appears followed by a large explosion that stops everything. Stepping out of the circle stands a man with a sword coming out of his face and swords for hands.

"I'm here for the Sword Master! There's only one master of the swords, and that's me! The Sword Devil!"

Skylar glances to Alan. "Sword Devil?"

"You haven't heard? There's a new race of demon that's starting to appear, they call themselves devils. Each one has its own speciality, like planes, swords, tornados, the more afraid people are of a specific type of weapon the stronger the demon. This one must think it's pretty strong if it thinks it can fight Daniel."

An even larger magic circle forms and a single large sword slams into the sword demon killing it in one attack before shattering into tiny shards and disappearing. When the dust settles Daniel stands over its body and Mako is crying into Ryuko's chest.

"A sword demon, huh? Not even worth the effort." Daniel scoffs. The demon then rises up attempting to stab through his chest but is cut in half with a quick flick of Daniel's wrist. "Say hi to Rias for me.  Hell Flash." His palm lights up with an orange magic circle that blasts flames onto the demon melting its body to a green ooze. Alan and Skylar stand at his side afterwards and they look to the demon with apathy.

"Shall I dispose of what's left Master?" Skylar asks.

"No... leave it. It'll be a reminder to not fuck with us."

Alan pinches his nose. "Pretty smelly reminder too."

Ryuko marches over to the trio. "What the fuck have you three been doing?!"

Daniel hums finally acknowledging Ryuko after nearly a week of not doing so. "You say something?" The three walk away leaving a groveling Mankanshoku family at her feet.

Chapter End.

Post Chapter Scene

A young man with blonde hair, looks down on the trio walking away, his blue eyes locked onto Daniel.

"Sword Master? Jeez, this reality must suck if a sword user is one of their strongest. Let's see how he handles Hope & Despair."
