The Incoming Party

On the unusual place. A middle-aged man sitting on his knees. Wearing a dojo's uniform. Blowing a cup of tea and then taking a sip of it."Aaah~ nothing beats a cup of tea after training~". And then a guy wearing the same clothes came from behind him.

"Yo Sawamura-sensei! You're fine today?"

"Oh Itoshi-sensei, come here, take a seat." Sawamura then took a kettle on his right and filled the cup for Itoshi."Here, take a drink.

"Oh, I'm grateful for the drink Sawamura-sensei." 

"Don't mind it."

After that, they both chatted about a random topic.

"So, how's your karate dojo, Sawamura-sensei? Do you get any new students?"

"We do get a lot of people this year. How about yours?"

"Nah~ not many are interested in judo nowadays." Said Itoshi while eating a biscuit.

"Oh by the way, I'm thinking of renovating the dojo. So, I'm gonna ask for help to cut the tree."

"Oh! I can help with that! Tell me where the tree to cut down. I'll grab every one of them to the roots!"

"Hahaha! you're talking like you're gonna take down a monster by yourself!"

"Oh! I can help you with that! Tell me where the tree to cut off. With this muscle, I'll grab every one of them to the roots!"

"Hahaha! you're talking like you're gonna take down the monster by yourself!"

Sawamura then took Itoshi to the backyard. While they were walking, Itoshi stumbled upon something.

"Arrgh! there were cracks on the floor!"

Sawamura then took Itoshi to the backyard. While they were walking, Itoshi stumbled upon something.

"Arrgh! there were cracks on the floor!"

"Hahaha! I forgot to tell you about that. The grounds here are not very flat. Itoshi then looked around the area. There are a lot of cracks around the backyard. Furthermore, there's also a broken dummy accumulated.

"What are these cracks, Sawamura-sensei? It's like a monster just came and ruined this whole place."

"Oh that's from my ex-student. He often comes here to training. Although he can go overboard sometimes." Itoshi then looked at the broken dummy.

"These... are iron dummy..."

"Oh I totally forgot to throw away these."

"Sawamura-sensei, what kind of student did you teach?"

"Hmm? Oh, you're new in Hana right? This particular student was learning in every dojo in here. He's a talented student, I can say. Karate,Judo,Taekwondo. You hear it. He's got black belt on all of them."

"Wow, what a monster... I'd too like to meet him once."

"Well, that kid has just left Hana. So I don't know his whereabouts. I wonder... what weird things that kid will try to learn again."

…

Now back to the Herreson. These two girls who speak to Ryuma while he's eating. From their appearance, the girl's age is about the same as his.

"Oh! It was rude to me. My name is Linette but you can call me Line. The girl who's beside me is Valena. We're from one of the prestigious schools in the entire world."

"Ehh~ is that so?" Said Ryuma while taking a big bite from the chicken. His eyes filled with doubt the moment she mentioned the school.

"By the way, we've watched your fight with The Third Prince and about your expulsion from the Herreson high school. I'm sorry you had to go through that." 

"Eh, you were watching? Also, don't feel sorry. I'm the one who accepted that duel," said Ryuma while taking a sip of his hot chocolate. 

"Haha, then with that in mind, how about I'll make you a proposal? Ryuma then stopped his hand and glared at Line.

"A proposal? I'm sorry but I just made my own plan."

"Is it to become an adventure?" Ryuma's suspicion rose when Line guessed his plan. 

"Wow~ you really can read my face like a book. Although, what if I am?" Said Ryuma while staring daggers at Line.

"Then, that'll make it easier. Actually, we're from the most prestigious and famous worldwide! Bakenami Academy! that's the school we're from!" 

Ryuma just sits there and stares at Line.

"Never heard of it." And continue eating as he said that.

"T-then you must be an introverted type. You had to learn to know about the outer world more! Four eyes otaku." Said Line while folding her arm. 

And then Valena started whispering to Line.

"Nurse Line, that's an ineffective way to convince him to join the academy. If we're gonna lure him in, we've gotta use food, money or even your own body-"

"Oi, I can hear you, you know? Anyway, I'm not even interested in your flat bo- "

Before Ryuma could finish his sentence, he heard a sound of glass breaking.

"Oh~ that's my bad~ It appears that the cup they've served is too fragile~" Said Line while smiling.

"I'll take this from here Nurse Line." Valena then got up from her seat and went to Ryuma.

"Ryuma Ochirou, 16 years old. Attributeless. Attending to Monuhana middle school at the age of 13. You've learned martial arts from multiple dojos. With that skill you've learned from dojo, you have entered the world of delinquency. Once your gang has reached the top, you've decided to disband the gang to enter Herreson High School." 

"Oh, looks like you've made your research huh?" 

"Indeed, it appears that our principal has taken a liking to you. So we had made our way to Herreson just to invite you to Bakenami Academy. It's a school that teaches one how to become an adventurer. Our school is equipped with high-quality equipment and facilities. Sometimes we also visit the dungeon from time to time."

Valena then reached out to Ryuma's hand.

"Ryuma Ochirou, I know about your family. They've been shunned away by others because they've been born without an attribute. Do you wanna learn magic too? In that case, joined us Ryuma. I'll promise you... this decision will change you from who you are today."

"Hmm..." Ryuma then slowly grabbed his cup of hot chocolate. But it wasn't for drinking. He poured it onto Valena's head. 

"You're wrong about my family. Both my brother and sister had no trouble making friends. Also that drink is revenge for my expelletion bitch..." Ryuma's eyes filled with hatred, pouring the hot water on Valena cause of pettiness, for making him be expelled.

After he poured his drink on Valena, he glared at Line.

"I actually don't know which one of you did it, but I'm pretty certain it's you, isn't it?" 

Ryuma then grabbed his chair and threw it at Line's direction. But the chair was cut in two parts. In front of Line, was Valena who just cut the chair.

But Ryuma's eyes were not locked on Valena but on her rapier.

"That rapier... has an unusual colour. Something tells me I shouldn't get hit by that sword." 

Ryuma then lifts his leg and kicks the table onto Valena but it's once again cut by her. 

"Be careful~ It's her 'Unique', A Child From The Void. Its abilities can amplify any weapon with Void Energy. Including that rapier, it's the rapier that can cut through anything." 

"Nurse Line! I'd like to remind you to not reveal your student's 'Unique' to your enemies!"

" A 'Unique'? So she's the same as Jacob then?" Ryuma then cast a fireball on Valena but it was cut through it. From Valena's perspective, Ryuma just disappeared from thin air right after she cut the fireball. But then by the corner of her eyes, Valena saw Ryuma on her left.

"He... he's fast!" Ryuma then kicked Valena in the rib and sent her flying.

"Kaargh!" Valena can feel her ribs break from that kick.

"It doesn't matter if you're a girl or your rapier can cut through anything or some sorts... But you made a problem with me. And I'll make you pay for it."
