Chapter 20 War is declared

"Yes! Great work Captain." Vice captain Ayumu praised. "Now then let's take the other guys captive."

"You lot should be praising me for holding them all this time." Tsukasa bragged.

"Yeah yeah, you'll get your praise big buy."

The Black Art Division members walked to the guys who were still immobilized by Tsukasa.

"Well well well, what did you guys think you'll achieve by trying to kidnap Akiyoshi?" Vice captain Ayumu asked.

"We are under no obligations to answer to the likes of you filth!" One of them responded.

"Yo that hurts a lot, it seems like people really did forget who we are. We get lazy foe two years and now people be thinking that we're push overs." Kyojuro reminded.

"So talk or you die." Captain Zak suggested. "And trust me there's no escape for you idiots."

"I wouldn't count them out yet." A voice behind them said.

They turned back and saw the guy Captain Zak was battling, he was just barely standing.

"Ah what! This guy is still alive." Captain Zak complained.

The enemy's new eye dripped blood.

"Guys we have incoming." Captain Zak warned.

Everybody jumped out of the way, and the enemy used his black hole.

"You missed us you fool." Kyojuro laughed.

"No he wasn't aiming for us. He was aiming at his allies." Vice captain Ayumu corrected.

"What!"

The enemies got sucked up in the Black hole and disappeared, and then the guy who had been fighting Captain Zak dropped dead.

"Man what a pain, he probably transported them back to Malistro." Kyojuro guessed. "We wasted our time for nothing."

"No we did not waste our time. We now know that the enemy has Intel about all of us and our abilities, and also how to counter them, and we also know that the enemies want two things." Captain Zak explained.

"They want the power hidden inside Akiyoshi and they want something unknown from the Headmaster."

Vice captain Ayumu started laughing, "So if we were to threaten to kill those guys, would the enemy back off for a while?"

"I believe so." Captain Zak answered.

"Sorry but we won't allow something like that to happen." Shio appeared alongside Iguro.

"Oh Headmaster what brings you here? Also former Headmaster Iguro I liked your speech." Captain Zak praised.

"Thank you Zak, anyways you guys did a great job handling the threat, I just wish you didn't kill this guy, ge seemed like he knew a lot." Iguro praised.

"Wait he seemed like he knew a lot, hold up were you guys watching the whole time?" Akiyoshi asked.

"Yeah we were watching the whole time." He admitted.

"Anyways, what was that about threatening to kill us?" Shio asked.

"Uh nothing Headmaster."

"So what did you think about the enemy?" Shio asked.

"I think they're stupid. The enemy are just fools who keep underestimating our capabilities. Sure they're smart and they know how to deal with our powers, but they are just stupid overall. Never underestimate your opponents." Captain Zak explained.

"Thanks for your report on this, you can have the rest of the day free, and please keep Akiyoshi safe. He seems like he could be a valuable asset in their arsenal." Shio requested and then him, and Iguro left.

After they reached back to the office, Shio gave James, Iguro and Andrew the rest of the day off as well.

He sat on his office chair then he closed his eyes and began to think.

After a few minutes he hit his desk, frustration was visible in his face.

'Damn it! I looked into that girl's memories and there's nothing which can tell me how to remove the system.' He thought in frustration.

'Wait there is something I learned, I learned it from that guy in the castle, what was his name again, oh yes Nino.'

'That guy taught me that I can give the system to another person, I don't think my strength will go with it but I do know that all the lives I have yet to live will go with it.'

'The problem is, who can I give this system to? I don't want to give it to another person who will make the same mistakes as I will, that could spell the end of the universe.'

After thinking for a while Shio decided to go and sleep, because he had planned that the next day was going to be special.

The next day arrived, Shio got out of his office and met up with Iguro and James.

They took a ride on horses and made a journey to the city of Malistro.

It was long 2 hours journey but they finally reached to the castle of Malistro.

They got out of their horses and were escorted by guards to meet the leaders of Malistro.

When they entered the large conference office, there were three men, and two women.

There was the king of Malistro, The prince of Malistro, The Queen of Malistro, the princess of Malistro. and a familiar face, it was the boss of the [ASNO].

Shio looked at him, then looked at the king, he took on one knee. and bowed down, Iguro and James followed.

"Knights of Lakhar, I assume that you're not here to try and kill us?" The king asked.

"Of course not were a simply here to talk." Shio responded.

"Then talk."

Shio,Iguro, and James them stopped biking and stood up straight.

"Aren't you gonna offer us to sit?" Shio asked.

"Sorry but I can't take any risk, I hope you understand." The king explained.

"Huh, can't take any risk, we're the ones taking the risk by being here. Anyway let us get to the point." Shio said.

"We were sent here by our king, we wish to end this conflict happening between us and so please agree to stop it all." Shio asked stupendously.

"You fools, we won't stop attacking you until you give us what we want." The boss of the [ASNO] stepped in.

"I was talking to the king."Shio harshly replied.

"Silence!" The king order.

Iguro hit Shio with the back of his hand at his head, "Oww."

"Apologies my liege." Iguro said after he knocked some sense into Shio.

"I apologize for my behavior." Shio said, "We would like to know what you want."

The boss of the [ASNO] replied, "At first we wanted your system but now, we want your system and your knight Akiyoshi."

"Please what is this system you keep talking about?" Shio asked.

"Playing dumb I see. If you give us what we want, we'll stop trying to attack you." The boss demanded.

"But if you don't, then we'll declare war on your country, we shall come at you with our superior numbers and powers and we shall crush you." The boss of the [ASNO] warned.

Shio laughed, "Well if that's what you want, then you can ho ahead and declare war on us."

"Is that so, if that's the case then on this day, the 26th of September, we declare war on Lakhar, and Nakamura Shio we shall meet once more on the battlefield." The boss of the [ASNO] declared.

"Then we shall meet there." Shio responded.

Him, Iguro and James started walking away, but then Shio turned back and used his magical spell, BURNING PHOENIX.

The spell created a Phoenix and it attacked the king, the boss of the [ASNO] quickly moved on to protect the boss but then Boom! It exploded.

Shio, Iguro and James disappeared.
