Finally, The time has come. It's Monday. School is starting. But, Dream is given permission directly from the Principal. If he win the tournament, He is given the privilege to graduate the school without problem. His previous grades is sucks. So if he win, He doesn't need to do it.
He walked with confidence toward the Tournament. There's a lot of people joining the tournament. Women, Men, From Teenager to Adult. Every kind of people is there. That's what special about the tournament. There's no rules besides no killing the competitor. So Dream with his Spear Core, Walked toward the receptionist to register himself.
"Good Morning, What can I do for you?"
"I want to register to join the tournament."
The Receptionist smiled hearing Dream. She grabbed a form from inside her desk.
"Please write your name and age here."
Dream Immediately write his name and age.
"Mr. Dream Enpierce. 14 Years old. Is that correct?"
The Receptionist double checked.
"Yes That's correct"
The Receptionist smiled and point to the left.
"Please go there. There's a participants room there. The tournament will be held in under 2 hours. Please wait until the arena is open."
The Receptionist bowed her head. Dream say his thanks and walk toward the participants area. As soon as he open the door, The other participants looked at him menacingly.
'Staring at your potential opponent trying to intimidate them? That's rude' Dream thought. He kept walking toward an empty seat while ignoring the others.
Everyone in here is all fighter. Boys, Girls, Men, Women, All of them seems to know how to fight to a certain extent. The tension is rising toward the other participant. They look really excited.
'Well, Let's enjoy this fight.' Dream thought to himself while grinning slightly. He immediately covered his mouth. It would be weird seeing a 14 year old boy grinning knowing they about to walk in the arena.
Finally, 2 hours has passed. The sound of viewer scream is shaking the whole atmosphere of the arena. Dream can't help himself to stop grinning.
The arena itself is really big. There's a forest and river on the arena. Then, The announcer speak.
"Welcome to the annual Battle Royal! Can I get some sound here?!"
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
The announcer did a great job announcing the tournament. She's sitting with a man with glasses. It seems like he's the analyst.
"Thank you so much for coming once again to the tournament. As usual, This tournament will be held for 5 hours straight. There are 2 round of this tournament. The first round is the Battle royal that will be held for 2 hours. The one who failed to survive that 2 hours will be eliminated. And for those who survive, You will move on to the second round. In the second round, You will be facing 1 on 1 with another survivor. Until there's a clear winner, We won't stop the tournament."
Dream, Ignoring all of the sound and only focusing on the rules. He nodded after hearing the announcer.
"Alright. More or less I got the gist of the event. I need to survive for 2 hours in order to move on to the next round. There's going to be a lot of fighter so Let's try to thin them as much as possible without tiring my body."
All of the participants move to their designated area. Dream, Is located near the river. So if he wanted to stay there and hide, He have a source of water.
There's a camera drone everywhere that broadcasting all of our position to the viewer. Nobody can't see the broadcast if they're inside the arena. Only those who watch can see it.
*TNGGGGGGGGG*
Finally, The tournament officially begin. Dream started by washing his face and hair on the river. He unlocked his Spear Core and Spear suddenly formed from the Spear Core.
"Now, Let's get the party started!"
Dream Smiled.
Instantly, He dashed toward the river. He jumped the whole river by his raw jumping power. He vanished inside the forest.
Like a ninja, Dream silently running in a quite fast speed. While keeping his eyes on another ninja. Carefully he scanned the forest. Looking for any clue for other person. Dream noticed that someone also tailing him.
Dream grinned noticing that and immediately up his speed. He lead the one who tailed him to a more comfortable space for Dream.
Dream stopped in his leg once he felt comfortable with the area around him.
"You can come out now. Let's just fight right here!"
Dream taunted them. Finally, A man with a camouflage suit dropped from the tree.
"Sorry kid. No harsh feeling. I just want to thinned the competitor so I don't have a hard time later."
Said the man. Dream grinned at him when he heard that.
"Why are you smiling?! Do you understand that you about to get hurt?"
"Ummm, Sir. Do you understand what you're saying right now?"
Dream kept taunting the man.
"Of course! So why are you kept grinning?"
While he snapped at Dream, Dream take this as his chance to strike first. He jumped toward the man. The man taken by a surprise seeing Dream sudden assault.
"What's wrong sir? I swear I heard you trying to take me out."
Dream just won't stop. He taunted the man once again. Finally the man snapped.
"You Bastard!"
The man Take out his Weapon Core and it formed into a dagger. He swing his dagger sideways to cut Dream.
But Dream, Already saw that coming. He swing the spear upward in an incredible speed and throw the dagger up. He use his spear to ****** the Dagger to go even further.
"Shit!"
The man panicked and take a fighting stance.
Dream ****** his spear toward the man. The man try to catch Dream spear. Instead, Dream pull back his spear and immediately slide his leg toward the man legs. The man stumble sideways. Using his spear, He swing his spear upward, Launching the man to the air.
"Goodbye sir. It's nice playing with you!"
Dream stab his spear to the ground and use the end of his spear as a platform to jump even higher.
"You Bastard!"
The man, Can only swear at Dream. Dream is on the air, Grab the man head and push it toward the ground.
Dream Style: Fallen Angel.
The man face hit straight to the ground. Fortunately, The ground is soft. The impact isn't enough to break his neck. So there's still a chance that he's alive.
Dream, Grab his spear and started running once again.
"That's fun! Let's search for more people to have fun with!"
With that, Dream began his hunt for fun.
"Hoo? Look at that!"
Dream, Scouting from the tree. He see a girl, Getting surrounded by a group of fighter. She's using a Katana. She's easily one of the strongest fighter in this tournament. From the appearance, She might be the same age as Dream.
She easily slash through enemies defense and slip through their attack like it was nothing.
"It's really beautiful. That sword play, It's so smooth and amazing."
Dream, Only staring at her amazing technique. He's absolutely captivated by her. He can imagine what kind of training she went through.
Suddenly, Dream glance to the front. He noticed someone with a blowpipe trying to take her down.
Dream, Immediately went down from the tree and dash straight to the Girl. The girl immediately take her fighting stance. Dream immediately Throw his spear toward the direction to the person with the blowpipe.
Dream spear pierce the blowpipe straight at the middle.
"AUGH!"
Look like the spear hit the man somewhere in his head.
"Recall"
His spear immediately went back to his hand.
Still, The girl tried to strike Dream. Dream expected that. He spin the spear and bounce the Katana with his spear. Both of them, Threw away their weapon.
The Girl open her hand and strike with her palm. Dream punch her palm. The power from both of them strike each other. Launching them backward in a great speed.
Both of them Recall their weapon. Both of them stab the ground trying to reduce the speed from the impact.
When they started to move again, The Bell rang once again.
"The Battle Royal is over! Congratulate for 10 people that survive the battle royal!"
Dream and the girl immediately stop their movement. Both of them suddenly breathe heavily. The strike from them knocked the air out of them.
"Not bad huh."
Dream spoke first trying to spark the conversation.
"Yeah. I never thought that I would feel this much fun from fighting other people."
The Girl let out a smile while she take back her katana. Dream laugh a little.
"Hahaha.. True. It's the first time I've ever felt this."
The girl put her hand toward Dream.
"My name is Lily Woodrow. Nice to meet you."
"My name is Dream Enpierce. Nice to meet you too Lily."
Both of them shake their hand. The match is over, There's no need for them to fight. Unless they met at the next stage.
Both of them walked toward the participant room to rest before resuming the tournament.
They both sat down next to each other watching the announcer talking with the analyst.
"So, There's some changes toward the participant. It seems like 2 of them can't fight. Even though they survive the battle royal, They get a pretty heavy injuries. So, There's only 8 people left."
The Announcer said. Both of them looked pretty shocked when hearing that.
"I wonder what happened to both of them."
"I don't know... Do they break a bone or something?"
Dream and Lily trying to figure out what happened. Then the announcer started to talk once again.
"Also, To bring more fire to the tournament, We're going to experiment a little bit. Because there's much people than usual, We're going to try to do a team fight. Make a team of 2 with anyone that also survive."
Usually, After the battle royal event, There's only 4 people left. But now, There's 8 people left. It's a rare event. So the tournament official try to make thing more interesting.
Dream and Lily looked at each other.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
Dream said. Lily Replied by saying.
"You thinking what I'm Thinking?"
Dream hearing that smile.
"Let's team up together."
Lily smile and nodded. With this, They're officially a teammate.
"I hope we can win this tournament."
"I hope so too."
With that, They walked inside the arena once again.
"From the West side we have, The two people that was together since they were born. They're a men among all men. They're Two as one. Allow me introduce to you. The Twins, Al Dan and El Dan!"
"WOOOOOO!!!!"
The crowd is excited seeing them. They're a twin with a very similar feature. A spiky hair, the same round eyes. More over, Both of them look really happy.
"HAHAHA! Brother! Look at all these strong people!"
El, The younger brother, is always laughing while looking at strong people.
"..."
Al, The bigger brother, is always silent.
"True Brother! They're probably worth to crush!"
Even though the big brother doesn't talk, El can understand what is his bigger brother saying just by looking at him.
"And now, From the East side, The most Dangerous Duo. They were given the title the Assassin and the Ninja. Both of them, Have a similar fight style. They're Kurou and Eita!"
Once again the crowd went wild.
Both of them doesn't speak much either. They're calm and collected. Kurou has a black hair that he tied. And Eita have a deep blue color.
"And From the North Side. They're the fighters of the tree. They fight inside the forest for so long that they somehow ended as a teammate. They're Brun and Eisen."
They're look fiercely at each other. Brun have a blonde hair and Eisen is a girl with a light green color.
"Now People. The Dark horse. They're both 14 years old. People called them the prodigy among prodigy. Yes I'm talking about the Geniuses. Welcome, Dream and Lily."
As soon as Dream and Lily named get called, The crowd get even wilder. Both Dream and Lily walk with a confidence that outmatch the other pair. This is their first time. Two geniuses fighting other geniuses.
"Now people. The Team is Separated by their own area. The rule is simple. Each team have a flag on the center of their area. The winner of this is the one who get the other flag."
The rules is straight and clear. There are 4 flag. 1 Each. The goal is to protect your own flag while taking everyone else flag. The only time you won is when you grab all of the other flag. It's simple.
"This is quite simple. Who is going to protect the flag?"
Dream asked to Lily. They need to set their tactics before they can move.
"Both of us. I know this sound bad but, If both of us here, They need to breakthrough both of us. And I feel like we're going to be unbeatable if both of us work together."
"Alright. Sounds good. We defeat them when they come. Quickly grabbed their flag and we win."
"Exactly. We're on the same page after all."
While they were talking, The bell has rung. So, The other team already moves. Both Dream and Lily put up their guard to the max. Not even a single noise can get past their ears. If there's a movement, They will react instantly
15 minutes has passed. Nothing attacked them yet.
Another 15 minutes has passed. Still nothing.
30 minutes later. They finally picked up some suspicious noise from the East.
From the shadow of the tree the most dangerous duo have come. They're unscathed. But Dream and Lily feel that they already grabbed the other 2 flags. Which mean if they get Dream and Lily flag, They lose.
The first attack is begin when Kurou immediately charged at Dream with a smile. It caught Dream off guard.
Kurou with his twin sword started to slash Dream. His slash is fast and accurate. Dream can't do anything to that other than blocking it with his spear. He spin his spear around to block all the blow.
Until Kurou started to feel the flaws on Dream Spear.
Kurou started to become much faster that even Dream having a hard time dealing with it. Dream kept blocking all of Kurou attack. The last attack Kurou throw is a slash with his right sword. Dream tried to block it but it stopped mid air. He launch both of his sword upward and threw Dream spear. Trying to use Recall it no use. He will try to stop it.
Kurou twin sword become much much closer to Dream body.
"Dream!"
On the other hand, Lily get left behind by Dream and Kurou. She want to chase after them but, If she did that, They both lose. And Even if she try to chase them, Eita already there.
"Sorry Little girl. No offense feeling. But It's our win"
Eita, With a mask on. He quickly and quietly sneak up toward Lily. Lily immediately started slashing toward Eita.
Eita, With his sword parry all of Lily slashes. Lily let out even faster and stronger slash. Eita started feeling excited. He let out even faster slash.
The crowd get really excited seeing both of them fight.
And Lily slash downward. But that was a mistake. Eita hold down the Katana with his foot and slash toward her hand. Naturally, She let go of her sword.
Both Dream and Lily are in a pinch. But They do not falter. They felt even excited.
"What are you going to do now? Little boy/girl"
Both Kurou and Eita said the same thing to Dream and Lily.
Dream and Lily both smiled hearing that sentence.
"I'm originally martial artist. So, Without weapon, I'm even stronger!"
Both Dream and Lily said the same thing.
Dream started to dashed toward Kurou with a low stance.
"Interesting! Little boy!"
Kurou started slashing his fastest attack. It look like his slashes forming a dome around him.
Dream, Go into a deep state of mind. He become focus. He can feel the vibrate on the air and the ground. He scan everything in his vision. The speed of Kurou attack. The weak spot.
"The Data is inputted."
Dream said. Dream started to become even faster. Kurou instantly lose sight of Dream.
"What?!"
Kurou finally noticed Dream is below him. But He's too late. Dream already slide his foot down. Knocking Kurou to the side. Instantly, Dream kick upward with great power. Sending Kurou Upwards.
"Dream Style: Cloud Nine!"
Dream jumped and grabbed Kurou shirt. Dream pull down as hard as he could forward. Smashing Kurou Head to the ground.
"Dream Style: Fallen Angel!"
The dangerous combo of Cloud Nine and Fallen Angel. The first combo he thought when training.
Even Kurou can't take the impact from that combo. Dream ran back toward Lily.
Lily take her stance. Even without her katana, She can let out a dangerous technique.
"Interesting. Let's dance girl!"
Eita, Started Jumping so fast that it leave behind after image. It's so fast and quiet. As expected from the man called Ninja.
Lily, Close her eyes. To open her sixth sense.
Eita let out the first move. He slash downward toward Lily.
Lily notice the sudden move and slide toward the side.
"What?!"
Eita shocked seeing that. Lily Opened her palm like when she was Attacking Dream. Eita immediately slash toward Lily once again. When He noticed, Lily already right in front of him and her palm already on Eita chest.
"Lily Original: Energy Blast!"
A little push throw Eita across the ground and hit the tree. He spewed out blood. His lung is probably ruptured because of the sudden Blast inside his body.
"Lily!"
Dream rushed toward Lily just to see Lily already defeat Eita. Dream sigh in relieves.
"Good work!"
Both of them say that toward each other. While the other is unconscious Both Dream and Lily split up to grab the other Flag.
They meet up on their side.
"The Winner is... THE PRODIGIES DREAM AND LILY!"
The Crowd went wild. Both of us smiled at each other and went back to our participant room.
As soon as we arrive in our room, We feel asleep. 1 hour later we found ourselves on bed inside the health room.
"Oh crap... The fatigue that I get from using my technique is kicked in."
It's the same for both Dream and Lily. Their body still not strong enough to hold their own technique. After all, They're just 14 year old child. They need to train their body to get use to using their own technique.
For Dream, His injuries is on his ankles and wrist. For Lily is on her whole hand.
All of their injuries is not a major injuries. With just a low ranked healing potion, It's already healed. But they still have bandages on their injuries. It's just a remainder for them that they're injured.
"Dream? You okay?"
"Yeah. Are you okay?"
From behind their curtain, They talk to each other.
"I see. I'm glad."
"Yeah same."
Both of them started to get more sleepy. So they decided to sleep a little bit more.
30 minutes later, They go to the front of the arena. They're getting a trophy for their achievement.
Everyone is there. Clapping their hand at Dream and Lily. They don't see any finalist other than Kurou and Eita. Kurou have a bandages around his neck while Eita doesn't seem to wear any. They look proud at Dream and Lily.
Both Dream and Lily is given their own trophy. They also given the money for winning. 100.000 Rue each.
"Well then Lily, I hope we can meet again someday!"
"Yeah Dream. I hope I see you too!"
They shake their hand and part ways. They turned their back toward each other and don't look back. They made their own choice. So they might not meet each other in a long time... ..
Dream go back to the waterfall to enjoy his time there.
"Damn Kurou and Eita is strong. I hope we don't ever fight again..."
Dream pick up a rock. A small rock. Dream throw the rock toward the river. Hitting a fish head. Dream immediately pick up the fish.
Dream cut the stomach open and throw away all the guts. He filet the fish in an instant. He pick up a stick and pierce it together.
He light a fire and cook the fish.
"Fighting with Lily is so fun. I hope someday I can meet her again."
Dream smiled a little bit remembering the fun and short memory he made with Lily. The girl he find today.
Dream ate the fist quickly and go back to the inn.
"Congratulation Dream for winning the Tournament!"
As soon as he stepped in the inn, All of the visitor congratulate him.
"Thank you very much."
Dream smiled awkwardly.
"Now Come here! We're having a party!"
Dream get dragged by the man who own the inn.
"Stop dragging me please Sir Thomas... I can walk on my own."
"Don't say that! If I don't do that, You might run to your room"
Spot on. Dream face immediately become more awkward. If Thomas doesn't drag Dream to the party, He's going to go back to his room.
Dream is given a plate of food for free. While the other is ordering a drink and getting drunk.
"Oi Dream, Join Us!"
When Thomas try to called for Dream, The plate of food is already finished and Dream nowhere to be seen.
"Oh, He's gone..."
Dream already asleep at his bed.
Dream wake up really early in the morning to run. At this time he tried to do a 2 hours straight running.
Dream started by warming up. After that he immediately started to run. He goes all over the town with a fast pace. 1 hour straight of running is done. Now he started slow down a little bit. He started to breathe quite heavy.
But he keep running. He climb the building and started to jump from building to building.
"Sometime doing stuff like this is fun. Running, Diving toward the concrete and rolling."
Suddenly, Dream jumped to the ground. He use his spear to take all the impact of the falling and started to run once again.
Finally, He go back to the inn.
Dream immediately take a shower and wear his uniform.
"I need to talk to the principal about my grades."
Dream immediately walk toward the school. People, Who recognize him from the tournament, Including his schoolmates. Look at him like someone looking at their favorite Celebrity.
Dream ignored all the stares. He walked with a confidence straight to the principal office.
He knocked on the door.
"Who's there?"
"Miss, This is Dream."
"Oh Dream? Come in!"
Dream open the door slowly. He see Principal and Elaine.
"Oh good morning Miss Elaine."
"Good morning"
"First off, Congratulation Dream! I will fulfill my promise to passed all of your grades"
Dream hearing that let out a pose. 'I did it!' with his fist.
"It wouldn't be a problem now since you win the tournament. Once again, I welcome you to my academy!"
"Thank you. I can't wait to learn in the Million Years Academy."
Both Principal and Elaine looked at Dream like they're staring at a child.
Dream went out from the room and immediately go back to his classroom.
"Morning!"
Dream greeted the class.
"Good Morning!"
People finally greeted him back. They started to go to Dream and ask about the tournament. Dream answer most of the question. Like how hard to fight against Kurou and Eita. Stuff about Lily mostly asked by the boys. Obviously Dream avoided that question.
He seems kinda pissed when the boys only asked him about her.
Dream and his classmates is on the school arena.
"So Miss, What are we doing today?"
Ask one of the student. This is quite weird. Rather than the usual training session, They were waiting for a certain someone to arrive.
"Who are we waiting for?"
Dream ask. Still no answer. The Principal kept smiling. It's creeping Dream out. Now he know how people feel when seeing him smiling with no reasons.
Then From the Sky, Elaine dropped.
"Hello children! I'm Elaine from Million Years Academy."
"Holy Shit It's her!"
Students started to go nuts seeing her.
"Now! I wanted to search for the candidates for joining my academy."
"ME!"
Everyone raises their hands up immediately.
"Don't worry, Everyone will have chance. You just need to fight each other. If I find you interesting, I will invite you to my academy."
"Let's Go FIGHT!"
The boy students started to punch each other. They grab their weapon and started attacking. Principal and Elaine immediately jump back to watch.
"Wait, Am I also participating?"
Dream look at Elaine to give her a code. Elaine smiled saying 'Of Course'.
"Damn It Miss. I don't want to do this to my classmates!"
Dream smiled and rush toward the crowd.
"Yo! I'm Here too! Count me in!"
They started to get scared. But, Instead of running away they rush to Dream. Trying to take him out first.
"That's the spirits! Let me see all of your potential!"
Elaine, Smiled at it.
"Look like letting him go is a correct choice. With him around, He can make the other let out all of their hidden potential when trying to take him down."
Elaine explain.
"That's wrong Sister! You can't just use your potential student like that."
"What wrong with that? It's fun seeing them fight!"
"Well, You truly like Dream don't you!"
"Well of course. He's the one who caught my attention."
Elaine and her little sister, The Principal is talking both and forth.
"Well, How about her? She's strong too right?"
Principal ask to Elaine.
"Of course she's too. But She won't be coming until the middle of the semester."
"I envy you sister."
Principal smile a bit. Elaine pat her sister head and smiled back.
Dream is surrounded by his classmates. They going for the neck. Dream crouched, spin his spear and drag his spear all over his classmates feet.
Then Dream decide to axe kick the ground as hard as he could. Cracking the ground a little bit. Making them losing their balance more.
Dream with a smooth movement, Get out from the crowd. The movement is similar to Kurou Footwork. Smooth and quick. After their fight with Kurou and Eita, Dream try to use that for himself. Not perfect but it's quite good.
"Ouch that hurt my feet! Kurou is strong to endure all of this!"
Dream started jumping trying to reduce the pain.
A sharp pain attacking his ankle. Dream look at Elaine trying to tell he's done.
"You can just run around right? You're the reason they're this strong!"
From just the mouth movement, Dream guess that what Elaine said.
"Really now? I guess I can use Kurou or Eita technique."
The Difference between Kurou and Eita movement is the intensity they have. Kurou movement is Quick for close distance. It can close their range instantly. And for Eita technique, It really Quiet and the speed is relatively fast too. Eita is really suitable for doing it for a long distance.
His Classmates started to chase him down.
"Haah... If it's not for Miss Elaine, I won't do this!"
Dream imitate Eita movement. Quick and quiet. Slipping through his classmates. It's not the perfect imitation of Eita movement. If Eita and Kurou movement is level 100, Dream level still 10.
"Whoo, It's really hard! It's a good technique but still to hard for me. I will train myself to use all of this!"
Dream, Noticing his classmates chasing him stab the floor of the arena. Then he push the floor up. Dream punch the floor as hard as he could. Crushing some of his classmates.
"Hey all of you. If you only aim at me, I'm just going to crush you you know? In the end, I'm the only one who get invited!"
Realizing what Dream said, They finally gain back their senses.
"He's right! If we do that, He's the only winner then."
They started fighting each other once again.
"Damn... Finally they hear me. I can rest now."
Dream go to the edge of the arena and wait. He's already guaranteed to join the Academy. If he join the fight, It's only going to kill the others chance. Everyone fighting one another. Except the man who want revenge on Dream. Baba.
Baba suddenly strike at Dream. Attempted to strike his neck with his sword. Dream caught it with his finger.
"What does this mean? Baba?"
"Nothing. I just want a rematch with you."
"Is that so? Let's get started!"
Dream immediately release his quick movement. Jumped to the side and dashed to him.
Without mercy Dream grabbed Baba head and give him a knee straight to his nose. His nose started to bleed. Dream crouched and take out Baba foot by kicking him right in the Knee. Baba stumbled forward. Without wasting any chance, Dream kick Baba on the face once again.
Baba is going backward toward the ground. Using another foot, Dream let him up and push him forward. Just to slammed his face on the ground. Using Baba passed out body, Dream use him as a chair. As he sit down at Baba's back, Dream continued to watch the fight.
"I hope this gave you an important lesson Baba!"
Dream said to the body of Baba. He's already bored at the fight and he jumped toward the Principal and Elaine.
"Oh? You done already?"
Ask Elaine while sipping her tea.
"Yeah. I'm sick of beating him up. It's the 3rd time I smash him to the ground. I started to feel bad now."
"Hahaha! Doesn't he deserved it though? I heard he always bullied you!"
Elaine and principal started to laugh at Dream.
"I don't like bullying the weak like he did. So that's why I feel bad. It's like I'm bullying him!"
"Well that's certainly true. I like that part of you. You really nice."
Elaine said. With that, They began to observe the student. The real job is to see if there's any person who qualified to join the Million Years Academy other than Dream.
"So Dream. I have a question for you."
Elaine ask a sudden question to Dream.
"Yes. What is it?"
"Who do you think can qualified in this Match?"
Dream started to wonder.
"First of all, What criteria do you need?"
"I want people that is Competent, Strong, and Honest. That's the kind of people I like to teach. I hate teaching people that doesn't meet that Criteria."
"Alright then. Thank you for calling me Competent, Strong and Honest. Honestly, I don't think there's any person here that would meet that criteria. They're to afraid to fight. I feel like they doesn't have any deep meaning behind their attack"
Principal and Elaine started giving a surprised look at Dream word.
"What?"
"Damn Boy! Your words are so deep! Tell me, What makes you think like that?"
"Well, It's almost like they only attack me without clear intention. I'm sure Miss Elaine and Principal know this. My fight With Kurou on the tournament."
"Yeah. That fight was Lit you know? We were watching and we can feel the tension."
"Kurou attack have an intention. He really trying to hurt me so he can win. Honestly speaking, I could lost my fight with Kurou IF I don't surpass my limit there."
Principal and Elaine started to understand what Dream trying to said.
"Alright. You know that much for a 14 years old is truly amazing. It changed how I look at you."
Dream smiled awkwardly. He think that his 5 Years of training finally paid off. He is known by a lot of strong people. A Strong person will recognize other person strength.
"Well then. I'm going to pick you up in 3 month. Forget going to my office. I'm going to pick you up myself!"
"It's an honor Miss."
Dream finally part ways with the Principal and Miss Elaine. Dream is going back inside the forest. He wanted to train to move like Kurou or Eita.
He gone even deeper than the usual spot. Because the more deeper you go inside the forest, The denser it going to be. Dream wanted to make his own footwork by combining both Kurou and Eita technique.
"Let's Start!"
Dream unleashed the combined technique. As Quick as Kurou and as Silence as Eita. For A longer period. Dream smoothly slipped among the tree.
After 1 hour of that. Dream is on the ground with a painful feet.
Despite the painful feet, Dream already mastered it. He's truly a genius. Eventually, He's going to master it no problem.
After recovering for a while, He goes back toward the inn with that technique. And in only 30 minutes, He manages to arrived at his room no problem.
He lay down on the bed with bandages on the feet. He also put a bag of ice on both feet. Like that, Dream fall asleep. Even in his dream, He still imagined training the footwork.
By the time he wake up all the ice has melted down. His bandages and blanket is still wet from the ice.
"The pain is faded. I want to take a shower and eat curry. I know it's kinda heavy for breakfast but, I really wanted to eat curry."
Dream walk slowly toward the bathroom and take his morning shower. Dream wear his uniform and head straight to the school cafeteria.
Dream ate his curry quickly. The bell is almost ring. He kept walking slowly toward classroom with a happy mood.
He went inside, Greet them and see Baba with Bandages all over his face. He is asleep on the desk.
'Look like he's calmed down at least' Is written on Dream face.
The teacher comes in as usual with a smile. The lesson have started. The Teacher, Saying something really crazy.
"Alright, Today we're going to explore the forest! It seems like there are monster that lurking inside the forest. We're going to use this chance as the midterm exam!"
"EEEEEEEHH???!?!"
All of the students shocked hearing that. Even Dream opened his mouth confusedly. But, He still thankful. If they really go to the forest, That means they're going to Dream territory. If there are a monster lurking around his place, Dream will surely take it down.
"Now without further ado, Let's go!"
"EEEEH?!?!"
With that in the students mind, They started their journey toward the forest.
"My first time fighting monster. I'm really excited!"
Dream smiled while saying that. Making his classmates scared of him. They started to back off a little bit. Letting Dream walk first. Dream is in front with the teacher.
After they're finally arrived in the forest, The teacher said something.
"Now, I have a task for all of you. Kill at least 5 monster and bring the proof to me. I will gave you the time of 1 day. If you're late you fail the exam."
"Wow, That's a lot of monster. I thought there were only 1 monster here."
"No no. There's no way there is only 1 monster in this forest. There's hundred of them here. If you find the nest, I guarantee you there's at least 10 of them."
All of the student realized that they're tricked by the Teacher. They thought they're going to work together to defeat 1 monster. But they were told to hunt 5 monster.
"Now, GO!"
While the students still confused, Dream already started to move. Leaving everyone behind. Going by himself mean that he's free to do whatever he wanted without people wanting him to help them.
So, Dream goes to the waterfall and just floating around.
"Haaah... Slacking off is the best. I'll wait for more clue about the monster place."
Dream just on his back, Floating around in the water. Not too long after he slack off, a terrifying noise can be heard.
*SCREECH!*
Along with an intense bloodlust, A monster screamed.
"What was that?! Could one of my classmates is fighting something? This is bad. I have a bad feeling about this monster."
Dream, Get out from the water and wear his uniform. He started his move.
"Please let it just be my feeling. I hope there aren't a corpse when I arrived there."
Dream went with full speed to the east. Where he heard the voice.
As soon as he arrived, He see a single monster with a bloody appearances. And on the ground is some of his classmates. Dream eyes filled with fury. But, It seems like they're still breathing.
The monster is a leaf cutter ant. It standing on two leg. It attack is so strong. Just by slashing his hand, It can cut down wood.
"You monster. I never thought that I would fight Leaf Cutter ant monster as my first opponent."
Despite his big attack power, The defense on the ant is low. So it will die if you hit it.
Dream prepared his spear. Suddenly, The ant already behind him. Swinging his saw like arm. Dream immediately slide around the ant.
"That's dangerous."
Dream kick the ant. Sending the ant flying. But before he notice, The ant already cut his abdomen.
"What the hell?!"
Dream immediately hold his stomach. More of the classmates started to come. Dream screamed.
"ALL OF YOU! RUN AND HELP THOSE WHO IS INJURED!"
All of them immediately run to help the injured. They leave Dream alone so they don't get in his way. They also run to called for the teacher.
"You Ant prick!"
Dream immediately moved once again. Stabbing the ant with his spear. The ant jumped and slash Dream spear. Slashing it in two.
"Shit! I don't have any weapon!"
Those who is watching started to become more scared.
The ant started to swing its arm around like crazy. Dream using his footwork, Smoothly evading all of the attack. But he doesn't comes out unscathed. There's a lot of small cuts all over his body.
*SCREECH*
The ant let out intense bloodlust. Everyone let out a cold sweat.
"If I'm going out, I'm going out with a bang!"
Dream started to move toward the ant. The ant once again swing its arm like crazy. Dream already noticed the pattern. He easily slip inside the range of the arm.
Dream punch the ant on the abdomen. Sending the ant flying to a tree. Dream doesn't waste his chance. As soon as the ant about to hit the tree, Dream give a strong kick to its abdomen. The impact from the kick and the tree make the ant abdomen let out a strange liquid.
*SCREECH!*
The ant become furious. Its attack become much faster. But, Dream already know how the ant worked.
He swiftly grab the arm of the ant carefully and snap it. With another arm, The ant swing it toward Dream neck. Dream immediately crouch and grab the last arm. Snapping it like the other.
But, Dream started to wobble. His vision started to get blurry. He noticed that there's a lot of blood coming from his legs.
He noticed that using the footwork is really dangerous. The wound that the and gives on the legs making the blood spurt even more. Keeping that in mind, Dream can't use the footwork as he want.
But, The opponent is not only the Ant. There's also his classmate. Baba, Using this chance as a revenge.
"DREAM! DIE!"
Dream who can't move because of exhaustion, Can't do anything. Baba is getting closer with his sword toward Dream's neck. But he doesn't realize that He's an easy prey for the wounded ant.
In an instant the Ant chomp on Baba head. A gruesome scene can be seen. His spine is getting ripped out from his body. His head is gone. The ant started to recover.
"Shit... That Idiot, No matter what he did, He killed me."
If Baba sword hit Dream, Dream died. And if he become food for the ant to recover, Dream also died.
"Hahaha. That bastard! You win again. Baba!"
The Ant getting closer to chomp on Dream's head. But a rock is thrown at the Ant.
It's coming from far away. The classmates who is still there, Try to distract the ant. And that was successful. The ant look at their way.
Dream, Doesn't waste this chance. Using all of the power that left in his body, He focused it on one spot. His Arm.
He swing as hard as he could with all of his might toward the ant neck. The Neck crack and finally broke.
"I'm Beat..."
Dream fell on his knees and passed out.
The teacher comes and pick up Baba remaining and Dream unconscious body. Dream immediately get taken to the hospital.
The teacher is suspended for coming in so late and letting a student fighting a ferocious monster. Baba is getting a burial and Dream and the rest of his classmates, passed the midterm test.
Dream who is in hospital, Get a really serious treatment. He almost died because of a blood loss. But his wound is already closed after get treat by a high ranked doctor. But, He still need to stay at the hospital.
He's currently sitting on his bed. He have a special guest. And that is the principal. And She's currently bowing to Dream.
"Principal... What are these about?"
"Sorry Dream. We let your class fight that monster. We don't know about this before but, The Teacher is suddenly missing."
Dream surprised hearing that.
"Wait What? She's missing? Wait, Does it means that that was planned?"
The Principal replied to that.
"Yes. She's planning to kill all of you there. It's my fault for not noticing her."
"So who is she exactly? And Why she wanted to kill all of us?"
"She's Anna the manipulator. From What Elaine told me, She's one of the higher ups in the organization called '10 Bringer'"
Dream surprised hearing that.
"Doesn't 10 Bringer is the most wanted organization ever?! What does she wanted from this school?!"
"Apparently, She's also eyeing on you. Probably she wanted to kidnapped you and force you to join them."
Dream taken aback hearing that statement. He doesn't know what he's got into. 10 Bringer is the most dangerous organization in the entire world. Their location is unknown. They come and go as they please. Their goal is to revive what they called 'Chaos'. The strongest creature in the world. 'Chaos' is already sealed hundreds of years ago.
Their plan is always ruined by what they called 'The Protector'. Their job is to keep Chaos from waking up. And Elaine is one of the Protector. That's why people is always polite to her. She's one of the hero that keep Chaos from waking up.
"Is that so? Thank you Principal. I'm okay now."
"That's great. If you need something just called me."
The Principal get out from the room and go back to her office.
"I have another reason to get stronger. If I want to be safe, I need to become stronger."
Dream make a promise to himself that he's going to become even stronger than this. No matter what the cost. As long as he didn't have to be evil, He will try every method.
"I need more stronger weapon. Normal spear doesn't work for me. It easily break. I need to make stronger weapon."
After that, Dream start to treat his legs first.
"Fortunately my muscle isn't destroyed. I'm afraid that It might be. But I don't need to worry. The doctor really do a good job."
After treating his leg, Dream go back to the bed and sleep. Only to find himself can't go to sleep.
"AAAGH! I want to train. How can I just sleep here all day after experiencing that? Let's go sneak out."
Dream, Change his clothes to more friendly wear. He opened the window. He's currently on the 3rd floor of the hospital.
"Oh shit! It's high. And I don't have my spear to kill the impact. So what?!"
Dream decided to jump. People thought it was a suicide attempt. But Dream impress everyone by landing with his foot.
Slipping through the crowd unnoticed. Before they noticed, Dream already gone.
"Holy! That's amazing."
The Crowd started searching for the man who's gone after falling from the 3rd floor. The 3rd floor is higher than the building he fall before. And he fall with the help of his spear. Which mean Dream is strong enough to take the impact from falling that high. Probably around 50 Meter. The building he fallen before is around 30 Meter. It's a pretty high building.
Dream already arrived at the forest. He started to do his daily routine. Doing Footwork for 2 hours.
"Hmm, It's feels really good. I'm becoming more and more comfortable using this. It's really effective too. I can smoothly turned the corner without stopping. No wonder Kurou and Eita can annihilated 4 people that easily. They can't do this kind of stuff!"
Dream easily running while curving without stopping and making any noise. Which make him very hard to spot. He started to increase the speed a little bit.
"Yup! This felt good."
Dream stopped and feels his leg.
"Nothing hurt. Does that mean I can use it freely now?!"
Dream started heading back toward the town using it. In the middle of the way back, Dream hear something. It's an ominous sound.
It's sounded like a woman screaming for help. Fortunately it's still daytime so Dream immediately head that way.
The closer he get, The more disturbing it gets. He can hear a group of men laughing like a maniac. Dream see a group of robed men and 2 girls on the middle of the pack. Their expression looks really scared.
"Let me guess. A Cult with a sacrificial. It's the first time I saw it. Let's rock!"
Dream chased after them smiling. From behind the group, Dream take down one of the robed man and bring him to the forest. He grabbed his robed and chased back after the group.
'This is messed up. They Tied the girls with chain. They look really scared. I bet they already said that they're going to kill them.' Dream thought.
And it's correct. The Cult already tell the girls what they're going to do. The girls can't do anything obviously.
'Trash.'
Dream eyes lost its light. He lost all of the reasoning to keep them alive. Immediately, Dream strike two of the men swiftly. He swing both his arm as hard as he could and strike both of them on the side of the neck.
"GUK"
"AGH"
The rest of the group notice.
"Who the **** are you?!"
Dream take the robe off and reveal his face. The Girls looks somewhat calmer.
"Don't worry, I'm going to save both of you."
Dream said while smiling.
"Heh, What can a brat like you can do?!"
"Don't you see I already take 3 of you out. Do you think I can't take all of you? Old man you really underestimated me!"
Dream swiftly poke the old man in the eyes. Followed by a strong kick to his neck. He fall down instantly.
"Now all of you! Let's have fun!"
The Rest of the Cult started to shiver seeing Dream smiled after killing their leader.
They might think that Dream is a psychopath because he smiled after killing people. But the real reason he smiled while fighting is, He never felt that way before. So, He savor the taste of fighting.
While the Cult is scared, Dream already behind them.
"BOO!"
They stumbled backward after turning back. Dream hit them with a hard punch to the face.
Another group started to equip their weapon. Sword, Spear and Bow.
"Haha! That's interesting."
Dream grab the leg of two people. He throw both of them toward the group with the weapon. They doesn't expect that. So they lowered their weapon to not stab their comrade.
"Why Bothered keeping your weapon down? They already dead."
Dream is behind those thrown body. On the middle of the group of three, Dream crouched and slide his leg down. Knocking three people at once.
He grabbed the side one first and smash both their head at each other. And For the one on the middle who's on the ground, Dream gave him a strong axe kick on the back of the head.
With that, All of the Cult members are dead. Dream looked at the girls.
"Are both of you alright?"
"Yes! Thank you for saving us!"
Dream grab a sword from the corpse.
"No problem."
Dream smiled. And While he smiled, He cut both the chain down swiftly.
"Now You're free. Let's go back to the city!"
"Yes!"
They look surprised seeing how fast Dream slashed their chain.
Both of the girls look pretty cute. One of them have a pink hair while the other have a dark red hair. They don't look like they're related.
"So What's your name?"
The Pink haired girl ask for Dream's name.
"I'm Dream Enpierce. You guys are?"
"My name is Jasmine Yan"
Said the girl with Pink hair.
"My name is Krim Ioda."
Said the girl with dark red hair. Both of them have the same eyes color. Which is Light Blue.
"Nice to meet both of you."
"Nice too meet you too!"
Both of them seems really excited to talk to Dream. But Dream doesn't ask anything. So They're the one who asking.
"So Dream. Are you the one who win the tournament?"
"Yeah."
"Really? That's awesome!"
"Thanks. It really means a lot winning that tournament."
The Girls really excited talking while Dream is looking kinda quiet. Then, The Girls started to get suspicious.
When They stop talking, Dream finally started talking.
"Finally you caught on. Hold onto Me. We're Going to zoom pass them"
Dream notice a bigger group of the cult. They were spying on the group. Both Jasmine and Krim hold onto Dream side. Dream hold them back. Dream started to move quickly without the cult noticing.
When they notice, It's far too late.
"Damn it! They're gone!"
Dream already far away at that point. Leaving them only dust. They finally arrived at the gate.
"Thank you for saving us Dream. I hope we meet again!"
"Yeah. Goodbye!"
"Take Care!"
Jasmine and Krim wave their hand at Dream. Dream wave his hand back. Then He vanished.
2 Months has passed. Today is the last day at school. After the Death of Baba, We're given the benefits to skip the last Exam. It's unfortunate that he died. Other classes have to do the Exams. After they hear that we had an accident and given the benefits to skip the Exam, They thought it was a bullshit.
Obviously they can't do anything since Dream confronted them. After knowing that Dream destroy the monster, They finally shut up their mouth.
"All of them are stupid. If they were the one who is targeted, I don't think they're going to be alive now. They're fortunate that Anna targeted me. If not, They might died fighting that ant."
Dream is sitting on the table eating a cake. Everyone is wearing a formal suit. The party is held in the Hall. The principal provided all of the students a great time. She spent a lot of money to hold this party.
Dream is sitting on a table for two with Elaine.
"So Miss, Why are you sitting with me?"
"What? You don't like it?"
"Not like that Miss. It's feels kinda awkward!"
Elaine grinned.
"Sorry sorry. Well, After this party I'm going to take you to the academy immediately."
"Really? Is there any person other than me that join through your recommendation miss?"
"Yeah there are one girl. But She won't be joining us for at least 1 week. First time they said 3 month but, It seems like things went really well."
"Is that so? Who is her?"
Dream who is really wanted to know who that girl is, Decided to ask Elaine about it.
"Well it's no fun if I told you. Don't worry, She's a strong girl."
Dream only nodded. 'I hope I can fight her' Is written all over his face.
Then the light went out and focused on the stage. On the stage is stood the Principal.
"Everyone, I congratulate all of you that pass the exam. And I'm really sorry for a certain class. Due to our incompetence, We failed to protect one of the student."
The Principal look really sad. She mourn for Baba. Everyone seems not really care about Baba too much due to all he did to them. But Baba friends certainly feels sad.
"And I congratulate Dream Enpierce for enrolling to the Million Years Academy through invitation."
The Principal started to clap. Everyone followed her and started clapping. Dream stand up and bowed his head.
"Now, I don't like making things complicated. Let's start the real party!"
"WOOOOOO!"
They started playing music. People started to dance. Dream is sitting with Elaine and the Principal about more important stuff.
"Miss Elaine, Principal..."
Dream said quietly.
"Yeah Dream. It's outside. From what I feel, It's around 30 people."
Elaine reply. Principal sighed at Dream.
"I know you did something Dream. Let's go clean it up."
"Yes.."
Dream, Elaine and Principal quietly and swiftly, Go out from the hall without anybody noticing.
"Come Out now. I know you were targeting me!"
They see Dream face. Like a bug, They started to showed up even more.
"I knew it. The Cult of Chaos."
Principal said. From the pack, A different kind of robed man move forward.
"Hohoho, I don't think there are The Guardian and The Witch. Elaine and Eleanor"
Dream looked at Principal after hearing her real name.
"Well, What do you want here? We don't have time to serve you, You know?"
Eleanor said with a troubled expression.
"Don't be so cold. We're going for the young man. Wait, where is he?!"
When he was distracted by Eleanor, Elaine and Dream already started to move. Dream is behind the man.
"I'm here idiot!"
Dream grabbed his head and twist it around. Breaking his neck. Instantly dead.
Elaine is there supporting Dream. When the people started surrounding them, Elaine use her technique.
With her fist, She threw a lot of punches to the weaklings. Along with Dream and Eleanor as support, They easily clear the rest of the Cult.
"Huh? Not so strong."
"Of course they're. They only the bottom tier of the chart. They're nothing compared to 'The Bringer'"
Elaine Explain to Dream.
"Really? Then How should we disposed of the body?"
Elaine Grinned and looked at Eleanor.
"Don't worry, Eleanor going to clean this up."
Now that the name is revealed, They doesn't bother to keep it a secret anymore.
"Flame of Purgatory."
A Blue flame burst from the ground. Burning all the corpses into ashes.
"Damn Principal. That was awesome!"
"Thank you."
Eleanor look really proud at her work.
"Before everyone suspicious, Let's go back"
"Yes!"
With Elaine on the lead, They went back to the party like nothing has happened.
People still eating and dancing. They look like they are having a lot of fun. Sadly for Dream, He can't taste any of that. Why? He doesn't have any friends.
Then, Eleanor stood on the stage giving announcement.
"Now, For the last time. We're going to hear a speech from the one and only. Dream Enpierce. Please Dream come to the stage."
"Eh?!"
Dream shocked hearing what Eleanor said. He started freaking out with his limb.
"Please come to the stage!"
Dream with no choice, Walk slowly toward the stage. He was given a mic by Eleanor. So, He started his speech.
"I usually don't like to talk about this because I hate you guys! But, this 3 years is a rough and fun one for me. Thank you for those who bully me. It make me even stronger. I hope this will help you learn your lesson. Stop bullying please. Just because you have power doesn't mean you can use it like that. You use your power to protect the weak. Not Exploit the weak. I hope you understand my point. If you keep bullying people and they become stronger, They might unleash their rage at you. And you might get killed. Keep that in mind."
People hearing Dream speech seriously. Those people who been bullying him looked down at the floor. Remembering what they done.
"Once again, I'm thankful for the Principal to letting me learn in this school even though I'm weak at that time. I'm thankful for Miss Elaine for inviting me to the Million Years Academy. This is been Dream Enpierce. I wish all of you well!"
Dream instantly vanished from the stage and sat down at the table.
People clapped their hand and whistle. It's like they're hearing a speech from a famous people. They hear that seriously and keep what he said in their mind.
"Great job Dream. I'm surprised you have that kind of talent in you!"
Elaine said. She and Eleanor is surprised at Dream speech.
"Well yeah! Thank for a certain someone dropping a sudden responsibility on me!"
Dream glare at Eleanor. She started to look away while whistling 'Puu puu'
"Hah.. Doesn't matter anyway. I hope they are changing. Bullying people isn't good. Once the people they Bullied surpass their limit like myself, they're going to be screwed."
"That's great for you. For breaking your limit. You must been working really hard."
Elaine pat Dream head as a compliment to his hard working and never giving up attitude.
Dream get flustered a bit because this is the first time he get something like this from people other than his mother.
With that, The Party went smoothly until the evening.
"That was tiring... Why am I the center of attention in the party?"
Dream is grumbling about the Party. Dream is with Elaine on a private plane. They're going to the Capital to check the Academy.
"Well, You're the one who kill the Ant. Of course you're going to become the star of the party."
"I mean You're there too miss!"
"I'm there as a normal lady. Not as the Guardian."
Dream grumble. Elaine look at Dream like she look at a child.
"Forget about the party. Miss, This Plane is awesome! I don't know you have one of these!"
"The guardian have their own private plane. It made our trip more easier."
"Heee. That's really cool."
Dream looked around the plane. Then, Without Dream noticing, They arrived at the capital.
"Welcome to the capital of Kosmi Kingdom. Nova."
Dream arrived at the hangar. He heard it from the speaker of the plane.
Dream get out of the plane with Elaine. They immediately get pick up by a car.
"Now Dream, We're going to go to the Academy. We're going to check out your dorm."
Dream said 'Okay' and they move toward the Academy. Dream sit down calmly while looking at the people outside the window. Elaine is sitting on the front while Dream sitting on the back.
He looked around to remember what's where. Because, The first thing you should do at a new city, You need to remember all the building.
Elaine smiled and let Dream do his thing. She start a conversation with the Driver instead.
"Miss, Do the Academy have a great training facility?"
"Of course. You want to start training immediately?"
Elaine look confused.
"Yes. I need to become more stronger after all."
"You don't want to check the city?"
"Naah. I will check it if I have a friend."
"Alright then."
Dream started to looking everything once again.
After a while, They finally arrived at the Academy. Elaine immediately went to the Dormitory with Dream. The second and third year student greet Elaine and Dream. The girls in there looked at Dream with rosy cheeks.
"You seems to be popular here Dream"
Elaine said with a teasing tone.
"Really? I don't know about that."
Dream looks like he doesn't notice the girls. The dormitory is on the same building with all the classes. But the Dorm is on the top floor while the classes is on the lower floor.
"Because you're a special student, I will give you your own room."
"Really? Thank you miss."
Usually the student live with another student. But Dream is one of the special student. So Elaine give them special treatment.
They arrived at Dream room. It at the very top of the floor and there's only a couple of room is. Many, Doesn't have people. Probably only Dream on that floor.
"Meet me at my office later."
Elaine said that to Dream before Dream go to his room. Dream put all of his clothes in the closet. He made his made and clean his room.
"That's perfect. Let's rest for now."
Dream lay down on the bed. After a long way from the City called Artine to Nova, He felt kinda tired. So he lay down for 15 minutes before taking a bath.
After taking a bath, Dream wear his clothes and went to Elaine Office. He went down 2 floor and after walking pass the Teacher office, He finally find Elaine Office. He knocked at her door.
"Dream?"
"Yes Miss."
"Come in!"
Dream opened the door and see Elaine is sitting on the sofa while drinking tea. She poured one more glass for Dream.
Dream proceed to sat down in front of her.
"Thank you miss."
"Dream, I heard from Eleanor your weapon broke during the fight with the ant right?"
"Yes. My spear is broke. I'm planning to buy brand new spear though."
Dream said while sipping his tea. He like the taste of the tea.
"Don't need to worry about that. I want to give you something. Follow me."
After drinking his tea, Dream followed Elaine to the corner of her office. He push button on the wall. Revealing a lift.
They went inside the lift. Dream is amazed about the lift on the wall. It camouflage inside the wall.
"Where are we going miss?"
"We're going to the underground. Where I keep all of my weapon."
"So What can I get from there?"
Elaine suddenly look serious.
"So I want you to have weapon from the 7 Sins Series."
"?!"
Dream immediately surprised.
"You mean the cursed weapon?! Do you think I can use it?"
"I hope so. It's about time they found their master. So I really hope you can make them yours."
"Wait, All of them?"
"If you can make all of them yours, You keep them. They always fight me when I tried to use them. Oh we arrived"
When they were talking, The Lift shook a bit. Dream started to become nervous. He's scared after hearing that he need to try to use the 7 Sins Series.
7 Sins Series is a series of weapon that consist of different kind of weapon. It hold a strong power and if you want to use that power, You need to be recognize by them. If you're not recognize by them and still want to use them, They will want a big prize from the User.
Sometimes, They will kill the user if they were used to a certain extent. So it's really important for you to be recognize by them. So you can use their power freely.
What Dream see as soon as he leaves the lift is a beautiful stands everywhere. On the wall, On the ground, Everywhere there's a weapon. And on the wall. There's a two different kind of weapon. Both of them have 7 series of weapon. On the left is 7 weapons all colored Black and on the Right is 7 weapons colored White.
"7 Sins and 7 Virtues. They're not really a cursed weapon. It's just they need the correct people to hold them. That's my reasoning for scouting people. Because this particular weapon is what used on the old war against Chaos and The Bringer. And It need a new owner. Dream Enpierce, You're one of them."
Elaine said with a serious tone. She looked at the 7 Sins weapons. Dream is amazed by the quality of the weapons.
Without being told anything, Dream immediately move forward toward the weapon. Elaine is carefully looked at Dream attitude. If things gone bad, She will immediately help Dream.
Dream slowly walking toward them. Until he was finally stopped. The Light in his eyes is vanished. It's like he's not there anymore.
"Where am I?"
Dream wake up and noticed that he isn't on the spot he was before. Right now He's on a battlefield. He's standing on top of corpses.
"What is happening?!"
Dream is still figuring out what happening. He noticed a weapon on his hand.
"A Halberd?"
'Correct!'
"It Talked?!"
Dream is surprised hearing a sudden voice on his head.
'Calm down. Show us your power!'
Suddenly, A thousand of monster swarmed to Dream.
"Is this a test?"
Dream ask the Halberd.
'Indeed! Now Use me! If you can defeat all of them, Me and the rest will accept you as our master!'
"You said it like it was easy. But I feel like the monster here is stronger than the ant I fought."
They're kinda like creepy crawler. They're drooling blood. Their flesh is falling off.
"Ghoul huh..."
'Show us your true power!'
"Alright then. Don't be so bossy! I'm going to make all of you mine!"
Dream grinned and jumped toward the swarm of Ghoul.
Using the halberd, He swing it at the ground. A big Shockwave from the ground send the ghoul Flying.
"Dream Style: Cloud Nine!"
The shattered Ground that flying become a bullet that shoot through the flying ghouls.
Then, Dream crouched. He hold the Halberd on the front of him. Then with incredible speed he jumped forward while spinning his body. Piercing through Thousand of Ghouls.
"Dream Style: Drill ******"
Then, Comes the big guy. It's a giant. It immediately attack Dream with his club.
Dream hold the Halberd at it's tip. So he Can reach further.
Then He pull the Halberd up. He wait to the right moment until the Club in his reach. Dream reach his focus. With all his power, He Swing the Halberd Down.
"Dream Ultimate: Sky Splitter!"
In an instant, The Club, The Giant, And The sky above him split into two. And At that moment also, Dream arm. His Bone shattered into pieces. The Impact he get from swinging the Halberd at that speed cost him his arm.
He Immediately grind his teeth trying to hold the pain. The Halberd is still good on condition. As Expected from the legendary weapon.
"How is that? Do I pass your test?"
'Incredible. You use me without any shred of hesitation. Then We Shall accept you as our new master'
Suddenly 6 more thing comes. The Halberd that he held fly toward the rest. They immediately ****** Dream.
Then Dream wake up on the real world.
"Dream?"
Elaine carefully called him. Dream immediately glared at her sharply. She immediately take a fighting stance.
"Sorry Miss, It's a joke."
Dream laugh looking at Elaine.
"So How the test?"
Elaine ask Dream. Both of them looked at the wall of weapons.
"Come to me!"
Dream said. All of the weapon follow his instruction. They started to levitate from the wall toward Dream.
Elaine looked at him in amazement.
"Congratulation Dream."
"Thank you miss."
Dream look at the weapon.
"You guys can go inside me now"
'Aye master!'
All the weapon is telepathically speaking with Dream. They turned into dark flame and vanished inside Dream body.
"Alright Dream. Don't tell anybody about this weapon okay? You don't want to be targeted by. 10 Bringer right?"
"Yeah. Alright then, I will keep this a secret."
"Great. Just buy a normal weapon to keep the Sins series okay?"
"Okay Miss!"
In the end, Dream have to buy his own weapon. But now, Rather than buying spear, He considering to buy Halberd instead. He seems really like it when using them.
'Master, Do you want to buy another weapon even though you already had us?!'
The weapon started talking to Dream.
"Sorry about it. I need a weak weapon so I don't reveal you guys. By the way, What should I called you guys? You are 7 different weapon right?"
'Yes! We're 7 different weapon. But Our core is only 1 weapon. So we called ourselves Yoga!'
So it doesn't matter what weapon Dream use, They still Yoga. Quite convenient that Dream doesn't have to remember 7 names of his own weapon.
Elaine looked at Dream confusedly. But she caught Dream intention really quick.
"Here Dream. This is the address of a weapon shop. It's owned by one of the teacher here. So Make sure you pay them a visit!"
"Thank you miss!"
Elaine and Dream went back up and Dream immediately go to the store.
"Welcome Young man! What do you need?"
"I'm looking for a weapon sir!"
"Of course! This is a weapon store. What kind of weapon do you use?"
"Halberd!"
The man immediately grab a Halberd from the stand.
"This one is 300 Rue. It's not to heavy and the sharpness is nice. It's really good for someone as young as you."
The Man doesn't know it yet but, Dream is his future student.
"Yes I would like that one please!"
"Alright. Here you go!"
Dream immediately pay for the weapon and take the Halberd. After that, the Halberd officially his. It immediately become a core.
"Thank you young man!"
"Thank you sir!"
Dream went back to his way. This time, Slowly. He's want to go around the city to remember all the building. If he walk normally so he can focused more on the name of the building.
'Master master! There are person crying for help!'
Yoga warned Dream about that. Dream immediately look serious.
"Where are they?"
'On the left alley. From what we heard, It was a group of girl that was bothered by a group of man.'
Dream suddenly recalled the incident with the cult.
"Then, Let's go!"
'Aye Master!'
Dream immediately ran to the alleyway. He see a group of a young man that look like they're hitting on them.
"Hey man, You should stop hitting on girls on alleyway. People might think you're something else!"
They look toward Dream.
"Hey Man?! Who are you? It's not your problem. Get away now!"
"How about, No?"
"Then you're dead."
They immediately take out their weapon.
Suddenly, The girls behind them, Strike the man. Knocking all of them.
"Well, I don't even have the chance."
"Thank you for saving us! Dream!"
Dream is surprised seeing Jasmine and Krim. The one he saved from the cult.
"Well well, Long time no see. Are you here to join the Million Years academy?"
"Yes We are. We're preparing for the test. Are Dream too?"
"You can say something like that."
Dream and Jasmine is talking back and forth. Krim introduced their friend.
"Dream, This is our friends. Erika Mai and Aiko Nion."
Krim point to the girl with Brown hair and Black hair.
"Nice to meet both of you! I'm Dream Enpierce. I'm the one who saved Jasmine and Krim 2 month ago!"
"Nice Too meet you Dream! Thank you for saving them at that time."
"No problem!"
'Master, Do you know them?'
"Yeah. I meet them 2 month ago."
Dream is talking through telepathy with Yoga.
"Well then, I hope I see you around!"
"Yes!"
Dream went back to the dorm while Jasmine group went back to their inn. It's a surprise reunion.
"I hope there's a lot of strong people there."
Dream said while walking toward the dorm. He is so bored that he wanted to do something. So, He started his training. Running around the school for 2 hours. He said it was exploring.
He wanted to work on his endurance. The key to win a fight is how long you can keep your top form. So, He train everything that can make him endure fight more. At this point, His body is really muscular. Different from what he was when he was called Loser.
'Master! There's people watching you!'
Hearing a sudden warning from Yoga, Dream immediately put his guard up.
"Where are they?"
'I think from the top!'
Dream looked up at the window. He noticed Elaine is waving her hand toward Dream. It look like she's calling for Dream.
"I wonder what she wanted..."
'She is watching your training from the very start master!'
Then Dream immediately went back inside the building. He walked toward Elaine office.
She already waiting outside.
"What are you doing miss?"
"I forgot to tell you this but, On the gymnasium there are a machine that let out a hologram of a fighter that I personally watch. The Data on that is accurate. So you can use it if you want."
"Really? Everyone?"
"Yes. But there is slight problem though."
Dream look surprised.
"What is it?"
"There's a lot of upperclassmen. So if you want to use it, You might need to pass through them. Well, Show them who's superior and you should be good. I will let you out of problem if you get into one."
Elaine gave Dream all of her support.
"Thank you Miss!"
Dream immediately went toward the gymnasium.
"Strong fighter! I want to fight them!"
Dream swiftly and quietly arrived at the Gymnasium. There's a lot of people there. A lot of them watching one person fighting not a strong person. They seems like really troubled.
Dream went inside the gymnasium. People immediately stared at Dream. They look like wondering the identity of Dream.
Dream ignored all the people and immediately get to the front row. He watch the student fight.
"Their Movement is rough. I wondered what kind of training they did. I really thought that the students here are strong as hell."
Finally, The student that fighting get attack by the hologram.
"Hm... Weak... Are they really my upperclassman?"
Dream keep talking with a low voice.
While other person want to test it too, Dream immediately sneak into the hologram match. People still wondering his identity but, They seems really curious about his power. So Dream pick a certain opponent. It's Kurou.
Crowd started to get excited seeing Kurou. It's look like they know who Kurou is. But Not Dream.
To start things off, Kurou immediately jumped toward Dream with his iconic smile. Dream is just standing still in front of Kurou. Kurou throw punches toward Dream. Dream just slightly moving. Evading all of the Punches that Kurou throw.
"Whoa who's that guy?!"
The Crowd started to become crazy.
"Wait, Aren't he the one who win on the Tournament?!"
"Oh yeah! I remember now! One of the finalist who absolutely crush the Dangerous Assassin an Ninja! I think his name is Dream Enpierce!"
Finally, People started to notice Dream true Identity. While Dream still easily evading Kurou complicated attack. Dream just crouched. Then He just elbowed Kurou Stomach. Then he ended the fight with a spin Kick to the head. Ending the fight instantly.
People clapped at Dream incredible performance. Then He goes back to the hologram and summon another person. This time is Eita. People getting more excited because they got to see Dream fighting once again.
Without the crowd noticing, Both Dream and Eita vanished from their eyes. They look confused. Then just a moment after that, They see Eita Hologram getting Choked by Dream. Dream Legs Locks Eita Torso. Making his arm unable to do anything. Then, With his arm he choked Eita.
Dream thinking to summon another one. But, He realize that He might become to selfish.
"Sorry Everyone. Thank you for letting me fight. Goodbye!"
Dream instantly vanished from everyone eyes. Now, Dream went back to his room to rest.
"There's one month left until Academy started. Tomorrow people will going to take the entrance exam. I hope Jasmine and the other managed to do it. So I have friends."
Dream immediately went to his bathroom to take a bath. He lay down on the bathtub and let cold water run. After the bathtub is fully submerged all of his body, He stop the water. Then, He hold his breath and drown himself.
He stayed focus to try to slow his Blood flow. So the oxygen in his body move slowly and he can hold it longer.
30 minutes later he went out from the water. Then he drain the water and shower.
It's already night. He wear his clothes and went down to eat dinner. He eat curry as usual and went back to bed. It's his first day on the dorm and it's different from usual.
