( Yuto Pov )
* Two weeks later,*
Yami:" So where did you get that sword kid?"
" Hm? this? I got it from my travels.
Yami:" Is that so?"
Julius:" And for first place, the black bulls with a total of 178 stars. A new record!!"
Julius:" Can Yuto come up to the stage!!'
Me, Yami, Vanessa, and Scathach were in the star award ceremony. I was called up to the stage.
Scathach:" You did great, Yuto."
Vanessa:" Yay! Go, Yuto."
Yami:" Give them he'll kid." He spoke as he was smoking his cigarette.
Shiro:" Meow!"
Secre:" Tweet."
Going up to the stage, the crowd was surprised that a young child stood up there when Julius explained it.
Citizen:" How can he be a magic knight? He is too young!!"
Citizen2:" Yeah! he should be at home with his mom!!"
" Mahiru."
Pulling out Mahiru-no-yo and stabbing it into the ground, Mahiru-no-yo released a debilitating pressure.
Mahiru:" Fear. it's a tool to control those weaker than you."
" Shut it."
Before I could sheath Mahiru-no-yo, a mercury like water was fired towards me.
Using my anti-magic gloves, I swept it away.
Julius:" Oh? I mean, Ahem, you two stop!"
I looked up to Nozel Silva, and he looked at me with a frown on his face.
Sheathing Mahiru-no-yo, he stepped back and lined back up with the other captains.
I also saw other new magic knight recruits, but they weren't worth mentioning as they were passed out or on their knees.
I looked back at the crowd, and they were no different, and I saw Yami giving a thumbs up.
" Sigh."
Julius:" W...well, that's all for the star ceremony. You could continue on your day."
Jumping down from the stage, I walked through the crowd to the others.
Yami:" That was great, Yuto!!"
Scathach just smiled.
Vanessa was holding Scathachs shoulder as she tried to stand but also gave a thumbs up.
" Well, we should go.back to seeling octopus."
Yami:" Let's go, kid, we got money to make!"
We followed him to a stand as Jack did as well.
Jack:" Well, well, are you ready to lose out today, Yami!?"
Yami:" I got my special ingredient." He said as he pointed his thumb at me.
Jack looked behind Yami, looking directly at me.
Jack:" So it's the little monster, huh!? This will be interesting!"
As we got into our stand, everyone went to Jack's as they were still afraid of me, but once they tasted my cooking, they immediately flocked over.
Yami:" Phew, it seems my secret weapon won."
Jack:" Tch. Oi, hurry up and help you bastards!!"
Jack yelled at his squad mates.
" Well, I'm done here, Scathach and I will check out the fireworks."
Yami:" Sure, go."
Me.and Scathach went to see the fireworks, and along the way, we met Charlotte.
" Yo! Charlotte!"
I greeted.
Charlotte:" Get away from me, shorty."
Scathach:" Hello."
Charlotte just nodded and walked away with her squad members, and before she left, I heard.
Charlotte:" Good job in getting first."
" Thank you!"
I waved as I held Scathachs hand and walked towards a location to see the fireworks.
A few minutes later, we arrived at a cliff.
* Foooosshh.....BOOOMM!!!*
Seeing the fireworks display, we sat together on the edge of the cliff.
Scathach:" This is nice." She smiled.
" Yeah, it is."
It was at this moment that I enjoyed my time with Scathach, not thinking of Artoria, the curse, or anything just the two of us.
" You think we should head back?"
Scathach: " Your home?"
" Yours."
Scathach:" I don't think it's time yet. Wait! we also left Liz back there as well."
" Ah! you're right! I'm sure she's going to be angry!"
Scathach:" Sigh, I'm sure she'll be fine. She's a fairy, so she'll be able to live long."
" She probably forgot us."
Scathach nodded.
* A month later ,*
" Sigh, no."
Mahiru:" Oh, come on, it just a quick battle."
" Do you think I don't know you're trying to control me by getting into my head? I won't just seek out blood because you said so."
Mahiru:" Tsk."
I was training with Mahiru-no-yo.
But the damn demon kept annoying, so I just sheathed it.
" Sigh, I should learn a scythe, that would be cool."
I spoke as I entered the base.
" So, no missions today?"
Yami:" Uh huh, it's seems luck is on our side today."
" Uh huh, I'm going out for a while with Scathach."
Yami:" Sure." He spoke as he was reading the newspaper.
During this month, I trained, did missions, and visited Hage Village helping the church and training Asta and Yuno.
I entered my room to find Scathach.
" Are you ready?"
Scathach:" Yes."
" Alright."
Taking Shiro on my shoulder, I looked at Secre as she was sleeping on the window.
" Hey, let's take the bird.""
Scathach:" Are you sure?"
" Eh, a new adventure, right?"
Scathach nodded and took Secre.
Without using the dimensional house that was in the capital. We teleported from the room.
As we found ourselves in the small white house in Konoha, Secre woke up to find herself an unfamiliar area.
As we got out, she seemed surprised to see a different place.
Landing on my head, she started to look around.
" Well, let's go home."
Scathach nodded.
" We're home!"
Yuriko:" Welcome back. How was training?"
" It was alright, just the same."
Hiroshi:" Yo, is that a bird?"
I looked at my father and at Secre and back to him and spoke.
" Yes.....Yes it is a bird, and I thought I was the genius."
Yuriko:" Food will be done, and you? go take a shower."
" Alright, alright."
I walked up the stairs, leaving secre and Shiro to Scathach.
* Next day *
Blacksmith:" A scythe huh? People never really used those anymore."
" I just need one just for training."
Blacksmith:" Training, got it, I'll make it in a week."
" Thank you."
I left the blacksmith store with Secre on my head and Shiro on my shoulder.
Gai:" YUTO!!!!"
" Sigh, dammit."
I wasn't fast enough.
Gai:" MEET MY NEW STUDENT LEE!!!"
LEE:" NICE TO MEET YOU I HEARD OF YOU FROM GAI SENSEI!!!!" Lee shouted as he saulted.
Gai:" YUTO!!! WE MUST SHOW THE POWER OF OUR YOUTH TODAY!!!"
" Sigh, actually gai, I'm training today in my taijutsu today."
Gai put a hand unde his chin.
Gai:" HMM, AHA, LETS TRAIN TOGETHER YUTO!!!"Secre covered her ears with her wings, and Shiro was already used to this.
" Alright."
* Training grounds. *
Shiro and Secre were on a brach watching me spar with Lee.
Spinning, I low kicked Lee's leg, whichever caused him to fall.
* Thud *
Gai:" KEEP FIGHTING LEE!!!"
LEE:" HAI!! GAI SENSEI!!"
This went on for hours as I was instead training Lee.
