Trails of Cold Brave Sky Chronicle 9: Memories of Millennia

Glimpse of Battle

The entire council was in their room, and saw Niyo and a kitsune standing there.

"Hello, Council. I'm here to announce I finally have a boyfriend! This is Naki, and just like me, does BLT!"

Naki's ears shook. "I smell a potential couple."

Koru wrapped the fox in his chains and implanted a shock in his mind

The council left the room, leaving Niyo and his boyfriend alone.

Naki blushed, and asked Niyo what he wanted to do.

"I don't know, maybe the Bocky game?"

Niyo held a box of strawberry Bocky. Naki walked towards him, and refused. "I can't eat chocolate, remember?"

Niyo chuckled, and ate a stick. "You want to do some BLT around campus?"

Naki nodded. "Now that's what I can do!"

Naki cloned himself. "Let's go."

As soon as the students were going to have lunch, the two (and the Naki clone) began to make their ships sail.

Students began to alert Axle and Cornelia.

Roku arrived, and fought off Niyo. Cornelia knocked out Naki and killed the clone once she arrived. Riki followed.

"Let's get revenge on him, shall we?"

Cornelia and Riki had an ominous aura as they dragged Niyo to the kitchen.

Koru ate his lunch with Aki, Reito, and Axle.

"Aki, have you found a chance to register for the Sealer program? Not everybody has to join, but it is for stronger magic usage. Some can even make you immortal," reminded Axle. "I've been in the Sealer program since halfway into my first year here, and I went through an elixir made by Trismegistus that made me stop aging, making me immortal."

Koru unbuttoned his shirt. "I decided to go through a different process which gave me four seals."

Koru took off his chains. "There is one on my back, two on my shoulders, and the fourth under my chain."

Koru redid his shirt, and then looked over, where he saw Cornelia and Riki with an evil expression, about to take something to a location. An ominous aura was around the two as their eyes were filled with revenge.

Naki was sitting on Niyo's bed, and heard knocking. He opened the door, pulling his shirt down, and saw Riki and Cornelia giving an evil expression in their faces. They lifted the lid, and left Niyo with Naki.

Slowly, everybody was walking to their next class.

Naki was eating some sushi while walking around, and bought himself a weapon from the academy blacksmith.

Aki was back to sparring with his brother. Ariel was the referee.

Koru waved his hand, and let the chains grow in length. He began to swing at Aki, and managed to wrap up his sledgehammer.

Finding no way to get it out without shock, Aki let go of the hammer and summoned his mace, and tossed it, forcing Koru to dodge. Aki picked the hammer back up, and swung at his brother, before getting caught by the ankles, and he was greeted with a static shock.

Aki was stopped in midair, and he fell.

An announcement came for all second and third year students to report to the entryway. Apparently, a Demon was spotted.

Koru and Ariel were running toward the entrance, and ran into Marya and Axle.

An announcement was made for the first years to go to the Tower of Destiny to observe the battle.

Aki ran with Rala and her mother to Cornelia's Tower, and went into a pitch black room.

Projecting the battle via a terrain change, Rala's mother asked everybody to observe the battle.

Through the projection, Aki saw many Black Troops form on the battlefield.

Ariel was busy punching everybody, and then Koru began to swing troops into one another.

Axle began to fire magic bullets from his gun, and began to reload.

Marya was bolting behind the enemy, and began firing beams of light through her puppet.

Riki spun his spear, and fired magic bolts into the air. He dashed toward the target, and knocked it up, the bolts successfully hitting, scattering, and vaporizing the targets.

Roku pulled out his greatsword, and engulfed it in electricity. He swung around, shocking the enemies in front of him. "The Demon is in one of the hordes. Everyone, fight your hardest, and take them out!"

Marya kept blasting light with her puppet. "Our chances of survival are average. Fight your hardest!"

Axle ran out of ammo, and took out a lance. He lunged at an enemy, and stabbed it, before jumping into the air, and impaling another, before throwing it at a third troop.

Roku saw the Demon make her way to him. She had Carrie's body, and laughed maniacally.

"I am Informem, the Demon of Shift. You are unable to kill me. My spirit will never die, meaning I'm immortal. All you can do is weaken me."

As if the Demon jinxed herself, she was shot by Marya, and then vaporized by Riki.

Roku chuckled. "Immortal my ass."

The students went back to the Academy building, and soon ran into a delivery man.

"Twenty loads of magic bullets for Axle?"

Axle walked over to the delivery man, and signed the paper, and paid for the bullets.

Classes were canceled for the rest of the day, and students were going back to sparring.

Yui, Iru, and Shi were sparring in the middle of the fields.

Koru sat down in the cafeteria with Aki and Ariel.

"Koru, do you know when the next break is?"

Koru shook his head. "No. The break times always change, because the sports festival is always at a different date. Usually, we get a week after the festival to ourselves."

Axle and Reito walked into the area. "Koru, are you ready to see your home?"

Koru closed his eye. "Yes. I've been longing to see it again ever since Carrie destroyed my eye."

Niyo walked into the room. "Everyone. We got news about the sports festival. The festival is in three weeks. We will have the week before and the week after to ourselves so we can keep watch of any Demons. If you made any plans made for that time, use it wisely."

About to knock Niyo out for saying something stupid, Cornelia stopped. "Wait, you actually said something smart for once..!"

Naki walked into the room. "Who thought it was a good idea for naked sushi?"

Everybody remained silent.

"Because it was amazing."

Koru told the directions to Cornelia's Tower, and made an announcement.

"Good evening, students. This is Koru. The sports festival is in three weeks, and we have the week before and the week after to ourselves, as stated by Niyo."

Immediately, there was practice for the festival, so they could go for the win.

"Luckily, we can keep sparring. And we have to see Mom as a family for the first time," states Aki, giving his brother a hug.
