Chapter 32: Sword, Staff, Blades and the Chain

After seeing them again and this time in the campus Arthur said "We never knew you guys come to school here." Ivy giggles "Well we just transferred today, that's why." Dorothy was confused and asked "Wait you can transfer at any month or day you want?." Arthur then stared at Dorothy saying "Don't you dare think you could've transferred here a few months late." Dorothy then replied "I could've just transferred here once it's the last month of school." Arthur says to himself "Then what was the point in transferring!?!."

Ivy and Castiel were laughing Arthur then asked "Isn't Castiel your older brother?." Ivy looks at Castiel and says "Yeah by a few minutes." Arthur was then dumbfounded as he actually believed Castiel being older than Ivy with having a child's thoughts and Dorothy was laughing at Arthur's reaction.

Meanwhile Saya and Carla arrived at the room and Saya asked "Master who're these two?." Dorothy replied "We met them yesterday at the park this is Ivy, and this is Castiel." Arthur continues and says "These two are from the Hannes Family." Ivy and Castiel both said "It's nice to meet both of you." Arthur then said "And these two here is Carla Brewsworth, and Saya." the both of them replied "It's nice to meet you two."

After the introductions Castiel poked Ivy multiple times and whispered "We have to try it out." As Ivy knew what he was talking about she became nervous and approached them slowly saying "Umm Arthur and Dorothy may we have a request."

Arthur and Dorothy said "Sure, what do you guys need?." Ivy was getting even more nervous, her heart beating faster and faster as Castiel's making a mess in the room she asked kindly "Can me and Castiel try out our new move on the two of you?." Carla and Saya's eyes widened to hear them being invited for a spar, Dorothy and Arthur turned their faces to each other and both said "Alright, we accept." Ivy was very happy meanwhile Castiel was very excited he threw all the trash they've stored up like confetti making a mess in the room "CASTIEL!!!!." Ivy yelled out.

They chose their place in the gym where they asked Sir. George a favor to set the gym's bounded field so they could begin their spar.

Arthur and Dorothy took their stances and Castiel saw Arthur and said "A swordsman class? but I thought you were a fighter class." as he then remembered he just fought him barehanded at the time and said "Anyways I'll be coming for you Arthur." While Dorothy was cautious as she hasn't known Ivy's class yet.

Arthur rushes towards Castiel and said "You better show me what you're made of Castiel." He dodges Arthur's strike and comes back in to land a strike on him and says "Same to you too Arthur." they were in a lock as Arthur said "There's always more to a fight than just our weapons." He then landed a punch on Castiel's stomach sending him over to Ivy's position.

As she notices Castiel coming to her she yelled out "Castiel!." And summoned a chain to catch him Dorothy thought to herself "So she's a Manipulator class." Castiel yelled out "Do it!." as Ivy smiled and threw Castiel towards Arthur with outstanding speed that when Arthur blocked his strike he was launched all the way to the corner of the field Dorothy then said "What tremendous power, so this is what you guys wanted to try out." Dorothy then launches multiple fireballs towards Ivy, she then summoned a wall of chains protecting her from the blasts but because she couldn't what's in front of her Dorothy appeared behind her and said "Your backs wide open as she tries to land a hit with her staff as Castiel arrived and plunged towards them protecting his sister from Dorothy's failed strike.

Carla and Saya were watching from the sidelines evaluating Saya then said "They have seem to have a full advantage on the battle field." Carla was confused and asked "What do you mean?." Saya explained "When Arthur threw Castiel towards Ivy they used that to their advantage, she boosted Castiel's speed by throwing him and adding more to the impact, leading to Arthur being thrown all the way to the other side and when Ivy summoned the chains to protect her she knows Castiel will be the chains that are missing from Ivy's back in other words they completely trust each other a 100%."

Arthur just got back up and said "Man these two are so cool." He then rushes towards Castiel and manages to land a hit on him but Arthur noticed the chain on his leg a little too late and Castiel got pulled by Ivy, the next thing he knew was that he landed a hit on Dorothy and said "I am so sorry Dorothy!." Dorothy tries to get up and say "They're clearly playing with us."

Arthur takes a look at them and sees their serious expressions and said "You're right, so now It's our turn to get serious like they are." Dorothy smiles and casts a fireball below them creating cover for them.

as they were completely hidden from the dust Ivy said "They're using the dust to their advantage." Castiel then says "I'm on it!." He rushes into the dust and clears it out with multiple strikes only to find out they're gone.

Castiel couldn't notice the footprints because of all dust but from Ivy's point of view she clearly saw their footsteps and said "Found you!." She summoned her chains to capture them and succeeded, they were still invisible but were caught.

Ivy said "Castiel may not have seen you from there but from over here I can see you two from a distance.

Castiel looks towards Ivy and saw she manages to capture them but then as the dusts cleared he notices another batch of footprints leading to Ivy and once he noticed it was already too late.

Dorothy said "Oh really?." Out of shock Ivy turned around and saw Dorothy blowing the dusts in her palms towards her eyes and held hands with Arthur and disappeared.

Carla asked "Hey Saya isn't that." Saya replies "Yes, it's Masters' stealth skill."

Castiel went to the now blind Ivy defending her until she could manage to regain her sight from the dusts He says "Are you okay sis?." She replies while rubbing her eyes "Y-Yeah I'm okay just watch my back alright Castiel." and then multiple fireballs were launched and Castiel was ready to protect Ivy with his life as the fireballs never hit them but instead hit the entire field creating a huge cover for Arthur and Dorothy to move around.

Castiel said "Looks like they're getting serious now." while Ivy was still occupied with removing the dust from her eyes and said "Yeah I think so too."

Castiel could see both their silhouettes running around them finding an opening for them to strike and said "Ivy they've started their move just stay down an-." as he notices Ivy was gone.

He ran and ran until he could his sister when Arthur appeared and blocked his way by swinging multiple times at him, Castiel manages to block his every strike and Arthur goes back to hide in the dust.

Castiel said "I need to find her." he ran and ran until she found her standing in the open, he was glad he found her and said "What's the situation?." but she was silent he asked again "Umm sis? what's the situation?." she finally replies and says "We're surrounded." Castiel was starting to feel nervous as the dusts clears out and just as she said they're surrounded by dozen copies of Arthur and Dorothy.

He said "They must be all fake, we can do this!." as the two were prepared to defend their backs until they gave up all the copies rushed in on them.

Just as they were about to land a hit almost all of them melted into mud, confused from the situation the real Arthur manages to hit Castiel throwing him off away from Ivy but when he noticed Ivy says "I knew you'd go for my brother so I got you!." a chain was stuck on Arthur's foot as Ivy tries to throw him Arthur then melted into mud revealing that one to be a copy.

Dorothy then approaches to her front and says "You shouldn't have let your guard down." and stuns Ivy with her staff while the real Arthur was rushing towards Castiel's known position after being thrown he said "I got you now Castiel."

Dorothy then chanted "RESHIGI GANDR." as Arthur's sword lit up a color yellow and said "This is good." He feinted with his right and Castiel fell for it as Arthur then swung a left and landed a critical hit to him.

What Dorothy chanted in Arthur's sword was the same spell she used to stun Ivy, in the end both Ivy and Castiel were stunned and unable to battle.

A few minutes when Ivy and Castiel are finally awake Arthur said "That was a great battle." Castiel and Ivy stood up and said "Thank you for accepting our challenge." they both bowed down towards them.

Dorothy says "This is the first time I've ever encountered a Manipulator class, that makes me so happy." Saya and Carla come to them saying "The school's about to close let's go already." They were all satisfied from their battle today and went home but before they went their separate ways Castiel said to Arthur "We'll beat you the next time we challenge yo--." Ivy pulls Castiel's ear as she waves goodbye to Arthur and the rest Carla says "What a nice little sister." as Dorothy then looks at Arthur and asks "Who's gonna tell her?."
