chapter 23: when you can't sleep just knock yourself out

"sweet dreams my future champion" she said as she rubbed his head making him snuggle closer to her getting her all flustered and blushing.

'damn it Anita stop it your 117 years old you have no time to fall in love with some mortal'

.

'wait shut up, yes I can he's not just some mortal, yes yes he's a rare dragon-kin and I've known him since my physical body was 6, so I guess it is okay, right... yea its alright,

.

and I'll also make him into my champion hehehe, yes it doesn't matter if my feelings get in the way, I still have a chance to win and live free from these shackles'

---

when a fugal is born they have a spirt body, they are trained for a hundred years, then if they are able develop a physical body they are sent to the main realm and to the human territory and swap with a random baby with themselves and thats how they learn expand there knowledge about the main realm and while they are also given a chance to find a champion to free them within the next 18-19 years. but thats whats known somewhat, and as for their true reasons its still unknown even to them.

*************************

another 12 hours go by and they all wake up to the sound of the bus stoping, Anita opens her eyes to see Rin staring at her from on her lap.

"are you gonna stare all day, its embarrassing you know" she said in a whispering manner as her blush deepened.

I chuckled as I patted her head "thank you for letting me use you as a pillow, im grateful and let me know if you need anything in the future?" he said with a heartwarming smile.

"it was no problem" she said as she looked to the side.

standing up from the seat like everyone else they walk out of the bus to see a 50 tents in a section and a few buildings with few mines close by.

a few teachers lined up and introduced themselves, the told us about themselves and what they did and that we needed to chose who to join also that whoever did the best and had the most potential they would pass on a skill to one of us who are under them.

I don't know about eveyone else but Olivia still had to observe the students and I've desided go under the wing of a dwarven blacksmith named Harry.

for our training regimon he told us that in the morning we would go with our class to meditate/cultivate our core mana,

.

and in the afternoon we would mine and collect minerals ourselves and whatever we get we will use to craft stuff and if we have to we'll stay our whole time in the mine collecting cole and metals for the next day.

so either way this class was pure strength and technique.

*****************************

it was around 7 in the afternoon and our master/teacher told us to head into our assigned tent as well need to be up early tomorrow.

as I entered my tent time was immediately suspended and everything frozr, well except for me.

thankfully I don't abide by the 'rule of cosmos/law' and I could see and do whatever unlike the others.

walking up behind me a pair of arms wrapped around my waist and without hesitation I grabbed a hand, and threw whoever it was infront of me.

as they rolled on the floor my arm instinctively turned into a blade of darkness and I went in for the kill.

as soon as my blade got an inch away from their neck I noticed it was someone I knew, it was Nana.

I immediately retracted my darkness and jumped away. she got up and with a look entertainment and amazement she spoke

"wow, how are you doing that? are you also a decendant as well? huh, what are you? . .never mind I don't care, but can I see that again?" I didn't understand what she was talking about.

she walked up to me, grabbing my head and leaning in, she missed me,

I froze in shock and confused about what was happening as she released me time resumed.

I backed away and stumbled falling onto my butt "im confused. . .why are you here? what was that for?" my hearts were beated fast and I reddened and blocked my face from the outside world using my hands.

"I'm here because I want to continue what happened from this morning, and if I remember right it was you stole my first kiss" she said excited and in happily mood.

"ok so let's play" she said as she jumped on him, while she layed on top of him she had a sly smile as she pulled out a deck of cards.

she then got off of him they both sat from across from another, he was on his futon and confused on what the absolute hell was going on.

but then he buried the thought as he was now focused on what was infront of him and he then looked down under him to the futon 'haha I win this conforted war'

"so what are we playing and what about my other question Nana" I said looking at the cards, "you up for a quick game of blackjack, winner gets to ask questions also the loser does too but the winner gets the better questions" she said casually.

***

a hour goes by and Rin wins most of the rounds, haha yes, when it comes to the heart of the cards im surprisingly good"

she looked at me with a that of being entertained and from the looks of it, it seemed as she saw me as pet, just somthing to keep her from being bored,

.

not that I mind, but i do have a thing against being inslaved or being forced to do stuff against my will, unless it gets kinky but thats not my point.

"oh yea the questions, I almost forgot, okay so what did you want again class rep/prz" he asked in a excited tone from being the winner.

"I wanna be friends" she said with a strait face.

"..."

"is that all???"

"yea pretty much, also don't call me that unless where on campus and I do have a name you know"

"ok Nana"

"not my surname" she said hitting me over the head.

"owy... b-but i don't know your given name?"

"..."

"oh my falt, its Sally"

"ok then... umm why are you in here and why did you suprising me like that before"

"well its my tent too and I was happy to see you again, untill you attempted to kill me. . .but I'll let it slide this time since I'm at falt 'even tho I couldn't evade it and I could of atleast countered it with taking little damage' just don't let it happen again or it will be the other way around" she said shufflin the cards, but also acting a little scary if you looked in her eyes.

"yes ma'am" I said apologizing "wait we're sharing a tent???" "yea got a problem with that" "yea, there's only one futon" I said as I looked under myself

"well i guess we'll sleep together, do you have any objections" she said with a sly grin.

now blushing he said in a low tone "no but I-" she them pushed him down and layed on him like a pillow.

"hush child, its time to sleep now, we need to do stuff early in the morning" there's no way he could sleep right now, his hearts were beating rapidly, fulling him with adrenaline and because of her, his blood was rushing to his little bro so there is only one option left.

.

.

.

.

.

[dream walker] he pointed 2 fingers at his forhead and blue mist went inside of him, he fell asleep immediately and as he slept he clinged onto her.

he's never slept without hugging onto something or someone, so this was gonna be pretty common between them from now on.

when you can't sleep just knock yourself out it always works

**********************

as for oliva and Elaine, they looked for Rin but were unable to find him.

*the next day*

Rin woke up but he keept his eyes closed as he felt the movement of Sally.

now standing up Sally started to change clothes and an unknown voice appeared

"Sally when I allowed you to pursue your passion and leave home, I warned you to not forget what you are.

.

you are a time lord as well and you mustn't forget that, because with you taking interest in others it will only hurt you in the long run, you know that right.

"yes, yes, I know, but im not a kid anymore im a grown woman, like look at me im 487 and you should to stop treating me like one"

"then stop acting like one"

'yawn' oh shit my covers blown. I sit up slowly wipping my eye's.

"bye father" she says quickly before turning and looking at me with a mischievous smirk.

"oh were you tring to peep on me while I was changing just now? wow you such a prevert Rin" she says teasingly

with a tired and quarter woke look I picked up a pillow and chucked it at her before laying back down.

"hey I was kidding... don't go back to sleep, stay up with me, im so booooorrrrrreeeedddddd" she says running over here and shaking him.

"okay then let's play cards" it was calming and easy, so I guess it would be good "yesss, let's do it... wait what are we going to bet" "bet?" I asked confused.

"yea to spice it up" "oh 'imma see if I still got my luck just like yesterday' if that case?"

.

"I'll bet myself, if you beat me I'll be your pet for a day as long as it doesn't interfere with training" this is were my beast skill comes in, haha they want to see an animal I'll give em one.

"wow, I guess were going big the fist round, ok then I guess I'll bet 1 mana crystals at the intermediate level if you can beat me in any rounds"

"deal"

***

and so during that first 5 games of war and blackjack Rin. . .well he lost at all of them.

"I guess I get you for 5 days" "wait there's still poker!?" and so he bet 10 copper on each match in poker

as they were playing there last round in poker a grin appeared on his face and he played his cards, "royal flush" he says with excitement "four of a kind" she played

"yes I won" I say excited "for the first time in forever" she sang, it was so butiful that it just made me remember how I lost 40 coppers and 5 days of my freedom today. . .for just one mana crystal.

"oh look at the time, here's the crystal you should use it to cultivate, also don't forget to meet me back here after class, oh wait we take the same courses I guess I'll just walk with you" 'we do?'

***

after leaving the tent and heading to were the student are assigned to meet up, he bumps into Elaine.

I guess she is apart of my group, "oh yea here's your crystal's" I say handing her the pouch and I sit on the ground and now holding that mana crystal i start meditating.

about 6 hours go bye and its 11am, my progress was 3 times as much as it was yesterday, time to head to old man Harry, I say Farwell to Elaine and leave

as I enter my next class I see the Harry next to a pile of pickaxe's, as soon as we all got there he looks up.

"for the next two days you going to be mining for your resources, and after that we'll begin lessons" after that he gave a lecture about the metals and how they were textured and used, and so on, he also explained the minerals and etc stuff like coal and ion crystals we needed to get.

.

after that he told up to go and collect stuff after handing us all storage pounches with 10 cubic meters of space to store it all in, but the thing about these pouch is that whatever is inside the pouch actually adds to its weight of the pouch so he told us to beware about how much we hold.

as the next 6 hours go buy i collected 11 chunks of coal which seemed to be 10kg, 2 magisteel shards 8kg, and 10 chunks of carbon steel which was about 45k.

it was time to head back to the tents but before we did Harry told us to put are name, materials, its weight total, and what we were going to make.

I put on the sheet my chunks of material the total weight which was '63kg/about 139ibs' and that i would be making twin daggers. . .or...or a pineapple with a meteor hitting it 'there just too sweet'

and so after I finished I saw Marc and asked how he was doing, he was currently learning about magic structure and spellcraft and as for lily... well we don't know ;w;

now entering the tent i see Sally waiting for me "welcome home your masters been waiting for you" she said with a owners authority like voice.

I laughed while placing my mineral bag on the floor "im not you pet yet, give me one sec to change" I start to unbutton my shirt but i don't take it off.

she jumped up from were she's sitting "thats not necessary Rin!?" she says covering her face but moving her finger to peek "oh...but yes it is" I say, as soon as she saw a mischievous smile a black mist like cloud appeared and surrounded my body, it started swirling as if it was a tornado but without wind.

seconds latter it dissappear and so did I or atleast thats what she saw "where'd he go???" she looked around the room untill she heard a voice.

"down here" I said as I looked up at her and she looked down at me, "eek" she squealed before jumping backwards a meter.

there was a single table on the room close by the entrance and I jumped on it, "hey thats rude! don't look at me like that!" I said as I sat down on the edge of the table.

"who are you, what did you do with Rin you little. . .thing? wait are you Rin???" she yelled, that hurt me in more than one way, but wateva "I am Rin, didn't I tell you I'd be your pet, so here I am, see I transformed, do you like it"

she walked up to the table to see a little animal about 8 inches in hight and palm sized, green black and red with purple at the tips of its ears, tail, and feet.

(A/N for anyone who knows of the Pokémon zorua its the same fur design but remixed and added colors)

"so your a dog now?" she asked "its a fox!... well technically It's a kitsune but that doesn't matter right now, the real question is 'and with a soft voice and a wagging tail' what would you like to do right now master.

________________________________

this was rins [beast] skill, first form the kitsune also know as the tailed fox spirit/tailed fox demon, and this is his first time using it and so he's a kit, or whatever they call little foxes
