1715 Words
"Astral Psyche Pla-, wait! Don't tell me you're, the Astral Prince"?!
"Yeah. I'm the Astral Prince, Haruto Sato. Nice to meet you, Lane".
"W-Why am I here"?
"You're here because you're my reincarnation".
"Reincarnation? Which means, I'm the reincarnation of the Astral Prince"?
"Yeah. You're right. You are my reincarnation".
"But, why me"?
"I don't know too. The mana of the seven elemental spirits have just clung to you right after your birth".
"The seven elemental spirits? So it means you also used to wield the seven elemental spirits"?
"Yeah. The Flame Spirit, Salamander. The Wind Spirit, Sylph. The Water Spirit, Undine. The Wood Spirit, Dryad. The Earth Spirit, Gnome. The Light Spirit, Wisp. And the last one, the Dark Spirit, Shade. I also used to wield the Lightning Dragon, Skylark".
"Woah, so you have memorized them too. Then, why do you want to talk to me? You have something important to say right, Astral Prince"?
"Don't call me the Astral Prince. Just call me Haruto, we're both the Astral Prince after all".
"Then, Haruto. What do you want to say"?
"The Sacred Stones".
"What's with the Sacred Stones? What would happen if the devils managed to complete them"?
"Then it will spell the end of the humanity".
"The end of humanity"?!
"Yeah. The Sacred Stones are collected so they can open the gate to another dime-"
Haruto didn't even managed to finish talking as his body starts to disappear and banish.
"Hmm, looks like my mana can't stay anymore. Guess I'll just have to wait again for you to be knocked down by your opponent".
"Huh? Where are you going, Astral Prince"?
"My mana can't maintain my form anymore. I'm actually waiting for to wake up but you woke up too late. Till we meet again, Lane".
"So he's gone now huh".
"Oh that's right, I must go back so I can finish my fight with Himari. I'll figure out what's wrong with her".
*Back to the Arena*
"Hmm, looks like he have awaken now. My mind, and consciousness is slowly disappearing".
The Abyss Prince's consciousness completely disappeared and Shu have taken over.
As soon as he open his eyes, what he sees before him is the Skylark and him holding the Skylark Sword while fighting Himari in demonic form.
"That is, a Devil Possession"?!
"Oii, you bastard. What have you done to Himari"?
"I'll assume that you are not the Abyss Prince anymore. You are the original owner of your body".
"Abyss Prince?! What are you talking about"?
"Never mind that. Now that you're now back to yourself, it will be easier to defeat you now. That bastard earlier give me a real pain in the neck that he reduced my number of lives to one".
I don't know what he is talking about but I'll assume that he have many lives but he gets killed many time by the one who took over my body earlier and now, his number of lives is reduced to one.
"Let's go Phoenix"!
"Mana Zone: Wind Demon Magic: Tyrant Phoenix's Rage"!
"s**t, my mana is running out".
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Dispersion"!
"What?! His Lightning Dispersion managed to dispersed through my Wind Spell"?!
"Now. I shall end this so I can save Himari".
"The likes of you are always a pain in the neck. Time and time and time and time and time! You guys always get in our ways. Why don't you just give up"?!
"As a citizen and a Magic Knight of the Clover Kingdom, my duty, is to protect the Kingdom and the people living here"!
Shu started condensing the Skylark's mana. As he is condensing the Skylark itself, he started absorbing the mana into himself.
"What, is he doing"?!
"This is my first time doing this but, since I have met the Astral Prince. I suddenly feel my magic power growing up".
He must have transferred some of his mana to me.
"Lightning Dragon Magic: Skylark Union".
"What?! He managed to use the Dragon Union"?
"So this is what it feels to use the Dragon Union. And, my Skylark Sword now is cloaked with the purple mana from the Thunder Skylark. Now, let's see what this can do".
Shu managed to move at the speed of light now he's in the Union Mode.
His Skylark Sword managed to s***h through the Phoenix causing it to disappear.
"What?! How did he managed to do that?! A demon phoenix being slashed in an instant"!
"And you're next you bastard".
"What did you say?! Don't make me lau-"
Shu moved in an instant and slashed the devil with his Skylark Sword.
"What?! How come a lightning mage can move at the speed of light?! This is unbelievable".
Himari is now free from the devil. She still lost so many blood so she's at the verge of dying.
Shu disengages his Skylark Union.
"Student Council President"!
"There's no mage here in the kingdom that can heal her at this state. She might even die if I still wait for help. I'll just heal her then".
"Let me heal you".
Two little creatures have appeared before Shu.
"Dryad, Gnome. I need your help. I have to heal her".
"Oh, if it isn't Lane. Is she your girlfriend"? Dryad asks.
"Just shut your mouth and do what I say".
"Yeah yeah".
"World Tree Spirit Healing Magic: Thousand Healing".
Soon enough, Himari woke up.
Shu is still healing her.
"H-huh? Who, are you"?
"Stay still Student Council President. I am still healing you".
"The demon. He possessed me, and-"
"It's alright now, Student Council President. I have free you from the demon. I defeated him".
"So that's why my whole body hurts. I can't even move at all".
"I told you to stay still didn't I. Once I have stopped the bleeding, I will carry you to the infirmary so you can take some rest before going home".
"Who are you by the way"?
"I'm Shu, Shu Iwasaki. Nice to meet you, Student Council President".
"Shu? As in the Shu who defeated the Prince of Diamond King-"
"Ahh my body hurts".
"I told you didn't I. Stay still for the meantime. I'll tell you what happened later".
"Okay"..
"That's it. That should do for now".
"You managed to stopped the bleeding. You are awesome".
"Oh by the way Student Council President, don't tell anybody that I used my World Tree Magic to heal you. They all know that I can only use Lightning Magic".
"So you can use three different elements huh. Okay, your secret is safe with me. Thanks for healing me".
"Now, hop on".
"Eh"?
"I'll bring you to the infirmary".
"O-okay".
Shu carried the Student Council President on his back. As they get out of the arena, he felt the barrier containing Skylark's mana and some mana that's not from the human world.
What the hell is this? Who set this up? Why does it have some of my dragon's mana?
He disengaged the barrier. Right after he disengaged it, he saw the students waiting for them.
"There he is. It is Shu and, the Student Council President"!! The student said.
Sora and Asahi approached Shu.
"Oii Shu, are you alright"? Asahi asks.
"And, Himari, you're alive"! Sora said as she starts to cry.
"Don't scare me like that"!
"Oii don't cry like that Sora. I'm still alive". The Student Council President replied.
"I'm glad that you guys are alive".
The Headmaster approached Shu too.
"Are you that now, Shu"? The Headmaster asks.
"What are you talking about, Headmaster"?
"No, it's nothing. I'm just glad that you guys are safe and alright. Bring now the Student Council President to the infirmary and you guys can go home".
"Yes"! The three replied.
I wonder who is that earlier? I'm pretty sure he is possessed by someone. I hope that it is, not a devil.
"We are here now, Student Council President. You can rest now and wait for you family, I think, to get you. I'm taking my leave. Let's talk tomorrow".
"O-okay. See you tomorrow".
"You could have just atleast stay here for a moment". The Student Council President said to herself.
As soon as Shu reached his home. He goes to the bed immediately.
"I am exhausted".
"I have to"...
Shu eventually falls asleep due to the things that happened that day.
A new day has come.
*At the Magic Academy*
"Oh, there he is".
"Why are they staring at me"? (He is referring to the students around him).
"Get him"!
"Eh"?!
"Are they gonna attack me. In that case-"
Shu is in big surprise as they didn't run into him to attack but to kneel and bow down to him.
"We are really, really grateful to you, Shu"!!! The students said.
"Huh?! What are you guys talking about"?!
"I am grateful to you too, Shu".
"Ohh, Miss Yua. Why are you guys thanking me"?
"Well, you saved my little sister after all. I don't know how to repay you so if ever you need something, you can come to me".
"Oh I see. So this was about what happened yesterday. You don't have to thank me teacher. Oh, and why are you guys thanking me also"?
"Well, she is the Princess of the Clover Kingdom. She is also the reason why the Magic Academy still exists. If she didn't attend here, then maybe the academy is destroyed by this time so we're in her debt".
"Princess of the Clover Kingdom"?!
"Thank you for saving me again yesterday Shu".
"Student Council President, are you alright now"?
"Yeah, thanks to you yesterday".
"Ohh, big sister you're here too".
"Call me teacher when we are here at the Academy". Yua replied.
"Oh I remembered, my Mom and Dad are inviting you to a dinner later".
"Ehh? Your parents"?
"Yeah. They want to thank you too and talk to you. I told them what happened to me and that you are the one who saved me".
"Oh, if it would not take that much time then I'm in. I'll go later. I still have practice so I have to go. See you later Student Council President"!
*At the arena*
That day, they met again.
"That girl is, Princess Aoi?! What is she doing here at the Magic Academy"?
