Chapter 59: Not Ready.

"Hey."

Someone stood over the bed and tapped on a black haired mans face.

"Slave! Wake up when I speak to you!"

She kept tapping his face, making a small groan come out of him. 'S-Slave...' Haruto turned over and stared. 'W-Who is she? Such a beautiful face...' Haruto reached out and..

"Are you trying to touch me?!"

Caroline hit his hand away and planted her scythe onto his neck.

"W-Woah! C-Calm down!"

Haruto shot up and put his hands up. 'I-Its too early man..why are you even here?..'

"Smh. Your lucky slave. I had a good dream last night, putting me a good mood for now."

Haruto stared out in a daze. 'W-Who was that beautiful woman I saw? It...it wasn't Caroline right?!' Haruto gulped from the idea.

"So? Why was I called here? You needed me for something?"

Caroline backed up and sat down in a small chair.

"Huh? Oh, yeah.."

Haruto was about to get up when he noticed...

"What, in the hell, is he doing here?"

He was starring at Yukio as he had his arms wrapped around his waist. 'Thought it was Wanda. Wait, where is Wanda?' He looked up and saw her sitting down in a desk. She seemed to be busy with paper work.

'I ain't your mama, so get off me.'

Haruto tried to pull the kid off, but he wouldn't budge.

'This...this isn't the ideal situation.'

Haruto sighed and got up. He acted as boxers as he covered Haruots crotch.

"Weird..."

Caroline stared in disgust. Haruto seeing her cold expression shrugged.

"Don't be mad at me because I can pull guys and girls. Its truly a gift from God, my looks."

"Gift from God, my ass. Your looks are barely above average."

'Smh. She always finds a way to bring my mood down.'

"Anyways, your job for today will be to take this kid out and show him the city. Treat him with care for me."

Caroline got up and walked to the door.

"W-Wait. Where are you going."

She opened the door and looked over her shoulder.

"I'm not a babysitter, slave. Do it on your own."

Haruto gritted his teeth and bawled his fist. 'Shes...my number one enemy. I..can't get passed her..'

"Please. As your slave, and as your commander, please.."

Haruto pleaded to her. Caroline seeing her faithful slave pleading to her, smirked.

"No. But I'll agree to do it if you go too."

Haruto stared at her as the room became silent. 'God. You..work in mysterious ways. When I get enough power to go to heaven or hell, you'll be the first I'll talk to.'

"Why? Why must I go? I'll only make your day worse."

"I haven't seen my slave in two weeks. He owes me this."

The person on his waist started moving.

"Bro. Come on man. I'll...go on a date with you some other time. The queen of the elves is hosting a party for me. I need to go today."

During yesterday's reception, Haruto got a letter from her. It stated: I know I'm taking a gamble by sending this, but...what the hell. I know you became the ruler over the Forbidden continent. I feel it. Anyways, come by so we can celebrate. You owe me that massage too.(End)

"Oh. So you already have plans. I..see."

Caroline then walked out, leaving Haruto to stare. 'What's wrong with her? She's seems...down? Nah, that can't be true. She probably finna go scheme right now.'

"Sen~sei?.."

I looked down and saw him yawning. 'Get the fuck off me!' I pushed him away slightly, causing him to fall to the floor. 'Just yawned like that on my junk. Gonna make me...'

"Sorry~..."

He rubbed his eyes and got up.

"Sensei~ Your body is too warm. I..I..couldn't help it.."

Haruto stared at the boy who had a smile. He then heard a small laugh and looked over only to see Wanda holding her face.

"S-Sorry Master. But he's telling the truth."

Haruto looked back. 'But...but....nah, forget it. Hes just a kid who's never slept with anyone before. Hes bound to have...close contact with anyone he sleeps with as he probably doesn't want them to leave..'

Haruto ran with that and walked up to the boy.

"So? How did you sleep?"

He stared at Haruto then he looked at his Harutos face.

"I'm...still sleepy...."

He stammered a big and fell forward to Harutos crotch. 'What the hell?! You...you could have just fell to the floor..'

A small smiled did appear on Harutos face after he said that.

"Rest up Yukio. You..deserve this sleep.."

Yukio claimed to not have slept in over 2 weeks. Haruto was a bit surprised to see him wake up actually. Anyways, Haruto knew he was very tired, so he didn't mind him going back to sleep. He..knows what it feels like to stay awake for that long because of fear.

For Yukio, it was the fear of being attacked by wild animals as he slept.

For Haruto, it was the fear of the dragon inside of him taking over, and reeking havoc on his family.

"So cute.."

Haruto picked up the sleeping boy and threw him onto the bed.

"Wanda. Will you be okay? Let me know if you want to take a break."

Haruto never told her to do all this work for her. One day he just woke up, and saw her doing it. He never retaliated though.

"I'm fine. I had a good night sleep, and I'm all recharged!"

She smiled at Haruto then went back to working. Haruto then looked at the sleeping boy. He had his arms out in a position like a baby with his breathe being slow.

"Maybe I should take him along. He is my student, and a master should do everything for his student if it can be beneficial for them."

Maybe if he went to the Elven continent, he could level up faster. That was Harutos thought process. 'God, I need to hurry up and build that school. Thats..were someone of his age should truly belongs at.'

Haruto then looked down. 'I..should get dressed. I hope he doesn't have nightmares..'

Haruto then walked over to his wardrobe and picked out some clothes.

....

"Okay. Come."

Haruto and Yukio stood on the back of a flying, silver dragon. Yukio had two knives in his hand with the blade pointing down while Haruto had nothing.

"O-Okay..."

Yukio slowly started walking. He then went to the right and began circling around Haruto. Haruto never looked at him however even when he was behind him.

"Here I go!"

He then came at Haruto from behind. Noticing that Haruto didn't even flinch, he gritted his teeth and stabbed towards his abdomen. When he did, a black space appeared, causing his hand to go through it and into his own back.

"Ah!"

He screamed out from pain of him stabbing himself.

"Dont say, 'Here I go!'. Just attack me."

Yukio stammered back slighly with blood leaking down his bare back. The both had their shirt off and wore pants similar to grey sweatpants.

"Y-Yes.."

He started circling around Haruto once more.

"So tell me something. What is this tactic? Is it like...reading your opponent before you strike?"

Haruto asked outloud.

"Yes, exactly. I..don't have an analyze skill, so this is the best thing that I can do."

"I see.."

Haruto nodded. 'I guess hes learned a thing or two huh?'

Breaking the gap in an instance, Yukio rushed at his side. He delivered a strike at Harutos body which connected, making him surprised.

"A-Are you okay?"

Yukio asked with a concerned face. Haruto then looked down and smiled.

"Hm? You attacked me? Your attack was so weak that I didn't even feel the knife piercing my skin."

Haruto then pushed the kid onto the ground.

"A Dark mage doesn't hold back. Especially against a stronger opponent."

Haruto turned towards him and pointed at his chest.

"I got this when fighting a bear while I was 6. I knew it was stronger, but I still went all out. I had too in order to survive.."

There were times when Haruto backed down too. Like when fighting that moose, his instincts were telling him to actually run where as with the bear, its instincts never told him to run. It told him to survive.

"Don't hold back, or you'll get punished."

The two then continued fighting.

"Strike with precision."

Haruto hit his hand.

"More force."

Haruto slapped him.

"Don't close your eyes when your striking. In that exact moment, an opponent can get behind you."

Haruto kicked him in the chest, making him fly back slightly.

"Don't call out your moves. Come on Yukio. That's the basics.."

Haruto grabbed his arm and twisted it, causing the small boy to scream out in pain.

"Oh no. No. No. No. No! This can't do!"

Haruto grabbed both of his arms and twisted. What caused this was Yukio losing his resolve.

"Your not giving up after this are you?! This...this isn't anything!"

Haruto ignored his screams of pain and agony.

"It hurts~..."

He dropped his knives and fell down onto his knees.

"Yukio. I don't think...your up for the challenge..."

Haruto had a weird plan in his mind. It was that of making him lose those nerves that received pain like he did. That way, he would atleast always keep a calm face in death.

"N-N-No! I am! I promise, I-"

He coughed up blood, interrupting his sentence.

"Then show me. Show me what you've learned over the past hour."

Haruto then put his hand out and waited.

In Harutos bed room, you could see his dresser shaking. Hearing the shaking, Wanda stopped what she was doing and looked up.

'What..is that?'

She reached under the desk and grabbed a knife. She slowly got up and started walking to the dresser. 'Did someone follow Haruto back? No, that would be impossible..'

The dresser flew open and a black object flew out of it, going towards the open balcony in the process and disappearing.

"W-What the hell?!"

Wanda only saw a little bit of the black, meaning she couldnt tell what it was. 'Too...fast..' She slightly sighed as she wished she had her magic back.

The black object flew in the air at fast speeds, breaking the sound barrier in the process.

"What...are you doing?"

Yukio stared at Haruto as he slightly put his hand back. In a split second, an object flew into Harutos hand. The forced made Arsenal fly backwards for a second.

"Nothing."

Haruto spun the object around in his hand. It was a black kunai with 3 blades. 'Weapon Symbiote. Able to become one, body and soul, with your weapon. Also able of calling your weapon, or vise versa.

"Let's go."

Haruto slowly started walking towards Yukio. Yukio only picked his knives up and got into a stance. His breathe was heavy and his arms and legs were shaking.

Haruto kept spinning the kunai in his hand. It had purple bandages with the words, 'Haruto', on them in kanji.

Haruto did a simple strike which Yukio was able to avoid by slightly backing up. He gave another one to the side of his head, making Yukio duck. Yukio took that moment however and striked towards his chest. His eyes were bulging as he waited for any possible movement that Haruto would make.

"Hm?"

Haruto looked down and saw a knife lodged in his stomach.

"Is that...all?!"

Haruto snatched at the kids neck and picked him up.

"Come on! You should repeatedly be attacking me! Haven't you noticed that I don't feel pain?!"

Harutos grip increased as the boy only struggled. Seeing his squirming, Haruto frowned.

'Its only day two Haruto. It's only been two..days. You..wanted to see how he would fair against you when you realized he barely knows anything.'

Haruto sat the boy down and sighed.

"Yukio. I..won't be so lenient next time.."

Yukio stared at him, tears still present in his eyes from the pain he received over the past hour.

"When we go to the elven continent, I'll teach you some skills okay? That should make you fair better in battle. What you can do now is...is very good, don't get me wrong. Your just inexperience when fighting a human that's all. I'll get Reina to teach you how to use your hands and sword. Sounds like a plan?"

Harutos voice went from uplifting to quiet. Noticing that, Yukio became sadder.

"Yes.."

That was all he said before they rode in silence.
