chapter 20: an orphan again

i sighed i felt it was time i passed on

"erza, could i talk to you" i asked

"sure harry, what's up" she asked

"i feel we should end it" i said gravely this got her full attention

"why" she asked

"i'm leaving, permanently, i told the old man when i joined it was only a temporary measure, and i'd eventually leave" i said

"and you think i would simply let you leave just because of that" she asked

"it's not just that, back at home, someone has claim over me" i said remembering both ginny and arya the latter of which was better at hiding it but i knew she liked me

"and you think i care, i'm sure i can convince her to share, i had planned to share you anyway, your protege likes you so does mira" erza said resolutely

"mira likes me, i mean i know lucy, had feelings for me, but mira, and she is okay with leaving lisanna and elfman" i asked erza nodded

"we talked about it and she talked to them about it and yes, this is what we want" she said i shook my head

"your stubborn" i said

"and you love me for it" she replied i nodded

"that was true, alright, fine then gather the girls we leave now" i said

"shouldn't we pack" erza asked

"trust me, erza" i said she sighed and nodded fetching mira, and lucy as well as calling kagura she wanted to join too after all

"are we ready" i asked the girls nodded

"then i'll see you soon" i said the blinked before being blinded by a flash of light

i was reborn and renamed rokuro enmado i was an orphan which was simply fantastic i was an orphan again i at least had a decent childhood at the hiinatsuki dormatory he was a prodigy he even shown signs of creating his own unique talisman this was due to all of his tenants and his abilities he gained from his last world plus his native magic all combined into one

when his friend yuto decided to betray the entire dorm in an experiment to enhance a person using impurities well his experiment technically worked as i had sort of control over this power but it changed my view on exorcism entirely i was eventually rescued by the adults who arrived way too late, i had already exorcised all of my now dead friends and yuto had escaped i was transferred to the seika dormatory where i told them i'd make talisman but that is all i was willing to do when it came to exorcisms

something which ryogo nagitsuji tried to change he wanted the old excited rokuro back but he never really succeeded in that front no one else in the dorm even tried for one reason, all the talisman rokuro created were ten times as powerful as normal talisman and they only took a third the energy to cast

not even the head exorcist himself understood how this was possible the impurity arm that the boy had mysteriously left his body that was another thing that confused everyone it just vanished this was due to ddraig absorbing it into the boosted gear, boosting it's own power but no one outside of rokuro himself knew that

rokuro had only one real friend as  he was very much a loner her name was mayura otomi and she had a bit of a crush on rokuro not that he cared to really notice in his mind he had enough women to deal with

rokuro was named a member of the twelve guardians in fact the rikugo but he honestly refused to do anything more then enhance his compatriots talisman which he does do on occasion a member of the twelve would stop by and he would take and enhance their talisman the first and only outsider to be excepted among the twelve in fact he was chosen by abe no seimei's spirit herself granting him the fushicho a phoenix, which funnily enough has the power to enhance his magic to a ridiculous level, the bird was almost always seen with him, except when he was sent messages by the exorcist council, and or the twelve guardians, and or the head exorcist himself, on very rare occasion when the twelve guardians can't handle a situation on her own, he would actually go out to exorcise the particular kagare in question after which he would chastise them for being too weak, before walking off his bird always perched on his shoulder
