Chivalry of a Failed Knight: Dark Heart

Re-Examination/The Engagement

The next morning, Shirou came to Itsuki's office.
"Father, could you ask Ms. Saikyo to re-examine Ikki's status? Something feels.........different about him today"

Itsuki-"are you saying he re-awakened? You know that the chances of tha happening is 0.1%, right?"
Shirou-"of course, I'm sure"
Itsuki-"well you are in luck, Ms. Saikyo is staying at our mansion for the next week before going back to Hagun Academy"

At Nene's Guest Room
Nene-"what? That kid re-awakened his blazer abilities? Now this is something I absolutely cannot miss out on!"
She jumped up from her bed and followed Itsuki to the training ground

At the training ground, Ikki was leaning on the wall with hands in his pocket, waiting for Ms. Saikyo's arrival

Nene and Itsuki arrived
Her mind-"hm? That kid really does seem different today, it's like he became an entirely different person."
"Now, 'failure', why don't we stop wasting time and get this over with?"

Ikki narrowed his eyes
"Alright, if you insist"
His magic power continues to rise and it has no intention of stopping

Nene frowned
"Just what happened to that kid? His magic was NOT this high yesterday"

Ikki-"tear them apart.........Pantera!"

This but with the sword out

Itsuki-"hm....Even his device changed? This is far beyond my expectations"

Ikki is charging a cero
"Since you want to get this over so quickly, let's do exactly that! CERO!!!!!!"

Nene blocks it by distorting the dimensions, something only she could do
"Cero? Wasn't it the attack that brat used yesterday?"

Ikki surrounded his sword with magic, and charged at Nene
"First sword—Saigeki!"

She was surprised at the sudden burst of speed, but countered with her own sword made of gravity energy
"I must say, not bad. But compared to you are far weaker compared to your brother"
She kicked him away

Ikk grunted, when he hit the ground, several small blue energy appeared around him

"Take this, bala!"

She blocked most of them, but some still landed
Nene-"tch, you are seriously getting annoying you know? I was already injured yesterday, AND I HAD ENOUGH!"

She deployed her device and created several blades on top of the fans
"Kokutou Yatagarasu!"
She launched them at Ikki all at once

The blades stabbed into and made him kneel

Flashback......
Shirou-"I want you to conceal your resureccion form for now"

Ikki-"why is that?"

Shirou showed a mischievous smile
"I want to see the look on father's face when you reveal your true powers on the Seven Star Sword Art Festival"

They both start to laugh

Flashback end........

Ikki is extremely frustrated right now
"I think.......I HAD ENOUGH OF YOU! ITTOU SHURA!!!"
Author's note: Ikki's Ittou shura time limit is upgraded to 5 minutes instead of 1 because of the Arrancar transformation

Ikki is Kefla, while Nene is UI Goku, ignore all other characters

Ikki was blown away by Nene with a glare

She turns to Itsuki
"With that re-awakening, he's at least a B rank blazer."
She starts to evaluate his status

Ikki Kurogane
Overall: A

Physical: A
Luck: B
Offensive: A
Defensive: C
Magic Cap: B
Magic Control: A

Itsuki looked at Ikki's stats, his hands were shaking and had a smile on his face
"Three A ranks were born in my family.........three A ranks were born in my family......."

Shirou and Ikki looked at Itsuki with a smug smile

Ikki-"so, father........what was that about me being a failure again?"

Itsuki snapped back into reality
"huh? Oh Ikki, I was wrong about you. Please forgive me"

Ikki walked away, not responding to him
Shirou put on an act
Shirou-"Ikki wait! Sigh, I'm sorry about that, father"

Itsuki looked down in shame
"who could blame him? Yesterday I was shaming him for being a failure, I'm a terrible father, aren't I?"

Shirou-"no, that's not it. You were just worried that Ikki could die if he became a mage knight, weren't you?"
Itsuki smiles at Shirou
"Who knows?"
He walked away to his office to continue his frustrating paperwork

Later that afternoon..........
Itsuki came to Shirou's personal training ground
"Shirou, take a shower and wear a tuxedo, we have someone important to meet today"
Shirou-"right away, father"

20 minutes later, Shirou stepped out of the room with white tuxedo on
Itsuki pulled up with his black Lamborghini on the front gate of the house
"Get in the car, we need to go now"
Shirou got into the fancy sports car and slammed the door, and they sped off

"So father, who are we meeting today?"
"The emperor of the vermillion empire, Sirius Vermillion"
(It is not a made-up name, it's actually the name of Stella's father, as I memtiojed on the last chapter, there will be spoilers on each and every chapter)

Shirou-"why are we meeting such an important person?"
Itsuki-"it's something concerning you, Shirou"
Shirou-"what is it?"
Itsuki smiles
"It's a surprise"

After half an hour of driving, they arrived at a huge mansion right next to a beach
Itsuki and I knocked the door, a maid greeted us and asked us to follow her
When she opened the door, I am shocked at what I saw
Sirius Vermillion is sitting next to his wife, and his second daughter, Stella Vermillion

Itsuki-"Sorry you had to come this far, your majesty"
Sirius-"it is completely fine, Itsuki! My daughter enjoys her time here in Japan here as well, haha!"

Itsuki-"that is good to hear. Now, Shirou, say hello to your fiancée, Stella Vermillion"

Eh? EEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!?!
