Chapter 5: The Way of Thors (2)

"Okay, now it's starting to get weird, how the structure of the dungeon did to change, without me noticing during these last hours"


I notice in the center of the room is a pedestal when I approach it I find a stone at its center with a demon logo on it and it is not just any stone but a Master Quartz of purple color, there are not many in Zumeria, because to produce in large quantity it requires a large amount of sephira crystal



I take my ARCUS out of its bag at my belt and open it then I place the Master Quartz in the center of the mechanism, at that moment I feel a connection while a blue light surrounds me when all of a sudden my head starts to buzz

"Ah, my head what just happened, it said adjusting my stats it means that until now I wasn't completely synchronizing with this world... or did the ARCUS connect me directly to the root of this world? "


I start to think about it


" ... Huh, there's no point in thinking now."


I continue towards the exit of the room to see where it will lead me


"I wonder if I can get on the frequency of class VII."


I calibrate my ARCUS on the class frequency, normally I should already be on it but when I modified my ARCUS I doubled the security using an improved version of encryption technology than the one I used when the guild was attacked


I have of course provided this technology to the Epstein Foundation with whom I am in contact in addition to the Reinford Foundation, which has developed the ARCUS in collaboration.


// Nero POV //


I move towards the gathering point as the Boss asked us when all of a sudden I notice that the structure of the dungeon changes, I continue my journey when I feel a rise in power inside me and a blue light surrounds me


I take my ARCUS out of my pocket to notice that a Master Quartz with a blue demon is at its center.


"What just happened, something must have happened to the boss for my power to increase, his power must have increased too, I think the same thing happened to Dante"


As I reflect I feel the presence of several people coming towards me, the only people who should be here are the members of class VII


"One of the principal's orders was to test the members of class VII? I should give them a little test then"


I say to myself with a smile


Then I take out a blue fox mask and put it on my face and put my hood on my head and lean my back against a pillar in the shade while waiting for my guests while hiding my presence



After a few minutes, the door of the room opens to let in a group of girls in Thors' red uniform


One of the young women is thin, she has long blond hair braided with purple ribbons, followed by a young girl with long blue hair that is tied in a ponytail and a young girl with glasses, purple braided hair and good body proportions.


They continue to advance in the room when the blue-haired girl stops, surprising her companions.


"What's the matter, Laura-san," asks the purple-haired girl.


"It seems we've been observed."


"That's not true, where?" The blond hair girl looks around her.


"What would you say to show yourself," asks the blue-haired girl who seems to be named Laura


I come out from behind my pillar clapping my hands what puts the girls on their guard, their weapons ready to be used, I speak with an evil voice not to burn my blanket as a Yuno clone


"Well done for finding me a young girl, when I had hidden my presence well."


The girl frowned when I appeared wearing a mask, Laura pointed her big sword at me


"Who are you, why are you here? You don't seem to be a student since you don't wear a uniform," she asks.


"That, my dear friends, if you want to know, you'll have to pass my test."


"A test?" exclaims all the girls


"Here's the test for the next 5 minutes you should try to get me to move from my current position if you succeed I'd tell you what you want to know"


"What if we lose?" asks the girl with glasses.


"Who knows, I let you imagine the surprise"


Then I take a simple combat knife out of my inventory and put myself in a combat position


"Let the test begin"


// POV Dante //


After receiving the message from the original Yuno, and feeling my power increase in addition to the appearance of a red Master Quartz with a demon on it on my ARCUS.


I find myself in a rather delicate situation you see the structure of the dungeon has changed and I find myself following the boy's group.


the only ones who make sure to help each other are Rean, an orange-haired boy and a tall boy with short brown hair in a ponytail


the other two are a boy with blond hair who smells like the aristocrat of the 4 big houses and a boy with glasses who goes crazy every time he talks about aristocracy, that's two of them fighting at any occasion.


Yep it doesn't make me want to mix with them but my mission is to test them, at that moment an idea came to my mind so I waited until they were all gathered talking with aristocratic boy and I made my entrance by making a surprise attack by shooting ricochet bullets, and as we are in a closed space, I can make double the damage


The only ones who reacted in time were his Rean and the big guy named Gaius while protecting their classmates


"Well done for avoiding this attack, but it could get better."


"Who are you?" asks Rean.


"I haven't told you anything dead weight I'm here for these two" I point Jusis and Machias which shocks Rean


"Why attack me, I don't seem to have done you any harm? "Machias replied to me


" And that's where you're wrong, my young friend, I've been watching you since you came in here and I've watched you two fight for trifles and it's because of people like you that the Empire will be destroyed"


What seems to piss off the two most Machias


"Who is this guy, he appears out of nowhere, attacks us and provokes Machias and Jusis," asks Elliot


"I don't know about you, but for me, this guy smells like trouble," adds Gaius


"This guy's starting to get on my nerves, say the aristocrat and let's put our differences aside and show this guy who he's dealing with."


"What a coincidence I was thinking the same thing, you three could help us out."


Then the whole boy gets into position


"I admit you guys have guts for wanting to fight me so to spice up the game we're going to fight under the rules of an event"


"A test, you say?"


"Yep here are the rules if you manage to hurt me within the next 5 minutes, you win and you are exempt from the orientation exercise but if you lose... "


"If we lose"


"I leave you the surprise, but know that it won't be fun."


I take out my Claymore Rebellion and put myself in a fighting position.


// Yuno POV //


When I manage to connect on the frequency of the ARCUS of the others, I notice that the class has split into two groups as in the game the girls on one side and the boys on the other and each group meets one of my clones who are passing some kind of test


"Ah, the poor guys they don't know what they're waiting for, but I hope it will bring everyone together faster"


I know that forcing events will not bring anything positive but problems like Machias' and Jusis' will not make it any easier for me, that's why I think that the fact that Dante is trying to drown the problem until it is born is a good solution


I continue my journey towards the exit of the dungeon when I arrive in a large room I continue to move forward when everything in the room starts to shake and a dark aura begins to gather in front to form a giant armor that holds a giant sword


"You gotta be kidding me, what's a Magic Knight doing in the higher levels?"


I'm going to have to take care of him, if the others fall on him and are hurt, I give cheap skin of the Class VII project


At the same time, the armor moves towards me, I take my ARCUS and contact my clones


"What's the matter, boss?" Dante answers first


"Sorry to bother you while you test the others but I need help here and NOW, WOUUAAAAAA" I scream while dodging a sword hit that comes at me


// Dante //


"What's the matter, boss?" I answer my ARCUS while dodging Rean and Jusis' attacks.


"Sorry to bother you while you test the others but I need help here and NOW, WOUUAAAAAA" I hear him shouts, as I dodge a sword hit that comes at me


"I'm on my way" and Dante adorns Rean's blade and sends him back to his classmates


"Well, folks, it's not that I'm bored, but I have to go."


"Wait, why did you attack us? "


"Who knows, I attack you to show you that division brings you nothing, that judged someone by their social rank doesn't please anyone, or maybe only to show you how some of you are too naive and get carried away by events, to know the result of your test ask your assistant instructor"


Then I start walking towards the exit of the room while running


// Nero //


" ... WOOOOOOAAAAAAA"


"I'm on my way," says Dante


"I'll be there in a little while too" I answer, I look on the side the girls are exhausted.


It must be said that I did not move from my location, I mainly used my demonic energy to be able to counter the attacks of Emma and Alisa which are out of my reach and I against all the attacks of Laura with my combat knife without moving from my location.


"Well, ladies, it seems I should leave, if you want to know the result of your test, ask your assistant instructor."


Then I start running out of the room at full speed


// No One POV//


"Who is this guy?" asks Alisa.


"I would like to know that too? "Emma replied


"Next time I see him I'll beat him, now that I think about it he mentions an assistant instructor, right? "


"Now that you mention it, he said that."


"So does that mean this test is part of the orientation exercise?"


"So he has the same strength as an instructor? "


"Maybe? "They look at each other, before getting up to continue their journey to the exit


After walking for a while the girls met the boys' group again and decided to continue together after talking about what had happened to them and deduced that these attacks were part of the orientation test


When at that moment they hear a great tremor and screams of fighting, they start rushing to the source on the way they gather with the white-haired girl who had left before them, they continue and arrive in a room to fall on a boy who wears the same uniform as them, fighting against a kind of monster in armor and the latter carries a sword.


The boy has black eyes, long black hair that reaches to his neck, tie in ponytails with which pin to attach his hair, he has fairly white and silky skin. He fights with a kind of oriental sword-like Rean


Some are intrigued by the boy while some are shocked to see the boy


" YUNO !!!? " Alisa, Fie, Laura, Rean tell at the same time


// Yuno POV //


"YUNO!!!!!?" I hear voices screaming


But I don't turn around and stay focused on the fight and prepare to use one of my great techniques I close my eyes while putting my katana back in its sheath.


"Hufff" I breathe in air and lightning begins to appear around me


"Fuuuuuuu" I exhale, The Magik Knight's sword is right above me and falls right on top of me


"What are you doing, Nii-san?" Rean screams


I open my and start moving at high speed and dodge the sword and then start saying an incantation that resonates throughout the room


"I am the embodiment of lightning and wind, I am the symbol of freedom and strength, I am the demon that protects this world"


I draw my katana and then I disappear and lightning gusts attack the Magik Knight from all sides. So that I can reappear in front of everyone


"Final Tachi: Emperor of Lightning, Kai"


I take my Katana back to his scabbard then a big salvo of lightning falls on the Magik Knight is disintegrates, until nothing remains, as for me I am a knee on the ground paralyzed by the use of this technique, the paralysis will last for a while.


"Nii-san, are you all right? "Rean runs to me, followed by the others


"Don't worry I'm fine, just a little paralyzed after using my technique."


"You're sure you don't have anything, that monster looked tough."


"I'm fine Rean, Alisa, really I don't remember you being so worried about me, but I can't blame you for that, this monster is not an enemy that a normal student can beat"


Then I look towards Laura's direction, when our eyes meet I winked at her, which made her blush, I get up with Rean's help and then turn to the rest of the class when suddenly Fie jumps on me and clings to me like a Koala, which seems to displease Laura and Alisa


"Got you"


"Fie, what are you doing? Get off my back, please"


"I don't want to"


"Why?"


"I don't want you to disappear again."


"What is supposed to mean? I'm not going to disappear, don't worry."


"Ahem, hello to all, for those who know me and those who don't know my name is Yuno Schwarzer Rean's older brother and also a member of class VII"


"Ha, now I remember where I heard the name Yuno Schwarzer you the one who is number two on the entrance exam that propelled me to third place"


"Nice to meet you too, Machias Regnitz."


"Weird I didn't see you at all when we were at the entrance ceremony or accompanied us here," said Machias


"How can I say, according to the Principal, my case is quite special, we'll talk about it again when Sara is present because even she doesn't know that I'm one of her students"


"Nii-san, do you know the instructor Valestein? "


"You could say that."


I get to know everyone, everything seems normal except Alisa who doesn't want to talk to Rean


"Alisa I... "


"Please don't talk to me"


I blink several eyes and then I put my hand on my forehead


"Okay, what happened between these two, this morning they seemed to get along so well"


"Something happened at the beginning of the orientation exercise, but I can't say anything more and how do you know that? "answers me and asks Elliot, Rean and Alisa to turn around and hear what I just said


"How? "Alisa and Rean are asking me at the same time


"Simple, my young friend, I was there when they met outside the station this morning, the only way to create this kind of situation would have been if a fairly serious accident had happened. " I grin while looking at them


Both turn their heads to avoid my gaze


"Don't tell me that "this" has happened? "I whisper in a low voice but Elliot seems to have heard me


"This?" I look at him and I whisper in Elliot's ear and he nods at me while blushing.


"Good since everyone and everyone gathered we should continue we are not far from the exit,"


Like in cannon when we arrived at the exit we faced the gargoyle, and for the first time we all unlocked the "Combat Link" system, but compared to the cannon it is not forced by the urgency to face a powerful enemy but more in a teamwork perspective with me and Rean taking the role of leader, unconsciously.


After the fight then we were talking about what just happened, that's when Sara appeared and when her eyes fell on me she was shocked to see me


"Yuno!!!!!!?"


"Yo, Sensei, it's been a long time"
