Waking up again from the same nightmare as always , he quickly get ready and walk to school . Getting to his class greeted him isn't Mizu as always but Sumeragi , the transfer student in his class .

  " How's your morning , Arasage "(Sumeragi)

  ' What's up with her being so lively today '

  " Hey do you hear me "(Sumeragi )

  "..."(Kidou)

  " Hey "(Sumeragi)

  " ..."(Kidou)

  " You can't open your mouth you bastard "( Sumeragi )

  " If you want anything from me Sumeragi , just spit it out "( Kidou )

  " Heh , me wanting anything from a person like you , how can that happened . The only thing I want is a duel between me and you . If I win , you have to become my personal slave . "(Sumeragi )

  ' She wanted someone to serve her that much'

  Looking at Sumeragi confidence , Kidou was stunned , how can she so confidence about her victory

  " What if I win "(Kidou)

  " Ha , if you win , I , Sumeragi Saya will dogeza , but it seems impossible for a trash like you to beat me " (Sumeragi)

  " We'll see about that "( Kidou)

  Answering Sumeragi question casually ,Kidou thought that the chance for him to prove his strength has come

  " I just remember of something , where will we hold our duel ?"( Kidou)

  " At the school field tomorrow , but don't worry ,I have prepared it already , the only thing you have to do is to come there and get defeated by me ."( Sumeragi)

  'She is very arrogant , isn't she ? Someone has to fix her attitude'

  After hearing about the duel , the class bursted out in anticipation because of the duel ,they can finally see what Sumeragi is made of and her strength as a D-rank Warrior. On the other hand , Kidou is completely neglected due to his reputation of being a weakling .

  " Kidou have a chance now right , do your best "(Mizu)

  " I will , thanks "( Kidou)

  After being challenged by Sumeragi , the rumors of Sumeragi having her own slave has spreaded all over the school and all of the teachers are all talking about it too.

  " Poor him , that Kidou , not having an Ability must have been hard for him . "(Teacher)

  "Yeah, what did he do to make Sumeragi requested him , that guy luck must have been bad "( Teacher)

  ' They are talking about it everywhere huh , well at least I be known in the entire school '

  Due to the challenge , Kidou was actually comforted by his classmates , they all say that his free days have gone and he will be busy serving Sumeragi .

  Even when he got out of school , the younger classmen was all talking about him .

  "Really how famous is this Sumeragi anyway "(Kidou)

  " You can say that she is extremely famous now ,due to the fact that only the teachers and students from the students council can defeat her "

  " Eh , that much "(Kidou)

  'Only the teacher can beat her , that where her arrogance came from '

  " Ne Mizu , do you think I can win "( Kidou)

  " Of course , I don't be Kidou to be under anyone 'slavery' "(Mizu)

  " Yeah , I don't want myself to be like that too "(Kidou)

  /-/

  Walking into the practice field that Sumeragi has borrowed from the school , Kidou was astonished that so many students come to see the duel

  ' I am still surprise by the amount of students gathered here , she is indeed very famous '

  " Heh , you actually came , I thought you so scared that you transfer school already "( Kidou)

  " I'm not that desperate ! "

  The referee of the duel told us about the rules of the match : You will win if the opponent give up or fainted , and all of the physical pain will turn into mental pain , so basically you won't suffer from anything than headaches in this duel .

  " That's basically it, you guys understand right ? "( Referee)

  "Yes "( Sumeragi )

  " Ah yeah "( Kidou)

  " Haha , Arasage Kidou , it's an honor for you to be defeated by me , this Sumeragi Saya "(Sumeragi)

  "Uhm ,we have not start the duel yet right "( Kidou)

  " I don't have to see the match and I already know who will win"( Sumeragi)

  ' Her arrogance seems bottomless '

  Up in the audience place ,all kind of cheering can be heard , but it mostly toward ...

  "Sumeragi-san good luck "(Sumeragi's fan )

  " Sumeragi-san , beat him up "(Some fangirl )

  ' Really annoying , that fame of hers '

  " Get in your position please kids"( Referee)

  "Hehe, I hope you get a good beating Arasage "( Sumeragi)

  "Uhm okay then"( Kidou)

  " You kids are ready , okay , 3 2 1 , begun "( Referee)

  As soon as the referee shout started the duel , Sumeragi quickly run towards Kidou while summoning her katana-like weapon ' Swift Edge ' a D rank weapon , which is considered to be stronger than every other D rank weapon and can rival some C rank weapon . Having her self such superior weapon at D-rank can make her undefeatable to any one of the same rank

  " Haha , see it Arasage , there is no chance of you beating me , 'Double Wind Razor ', and you will have the honor of being the first one to get defeated in the school by my Ability 'After-Image' "(Sumeragi)

  Finishing her words 2 razor like wind flying at Kidou and after that 2 after-image of the razor also fly at him . With 6 razor flying at him , it all seems like the duel finish with Sumeragi victory over Kidou .

  But the results wasn't it , after unleashing her skill and Ability , Sumeragi sure that Arasage was still there 1 second before the impact . And after the impact Arasage is nowhere to be seen .Sumeragi couldn't held in her suprise

  'Where is he "

  " My , my , that was really impressive Sumeragi , so much force "( Kidou)

  Hearing a voice from behind her, Sumeragi quickly turn around only to see

  'How can he move so fast in just one second '

  " How ..., Why in the world are you there ,aren't you supposed to be defeated after my skill . Does it mean that you have an ability ? But aren't you supposed to not have an Ability"(Sumeragi)

  " Well , I have an Ability , it's just that nobody see me using it " ( Kidou)

  " Wha –"(Sumeragi)

  " Shocking , huh?"(Kidou)

  " Huh , what if you have an Ability , it rarely make any difference . "(Sumeragi)

  " We have to see about that , don't we " (Kidou)

  Kidou stood ther gave out a chilling smile , making Sumeragi felt the chilliness over her body

  ' Was that bloodlust I felt , is he intenting to kill me '

  Mumbling to herself , Sumeragi quicky unleash dozen more ' Wind Razor ' and constantly use her Ability to make after-image of the wind razor . From just some wind razor she was able to make a storm of razor with her Ability flying at Arasage , it seem impossible for him to get out of it

  ' No matter what kind of Ability you have , you can't escape that much razor can you '

  " Even more force than before, you are indeed strong ,though half of your strength is from your ' Swift Edge ' , that a fine weapon doesn't it . It helps unleashing sharp weapon from Light or Wind Attribute skill so much easier . What a handy weapon you got there " (Kidou)

  Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

  Hearing a familiar voice from behind , Sumeragi feel the chill down her spine

  'Impossible, from behind again . How can he move so fast. What is the Abilty of his that make him so fast '

  Giving Sumeragi a smile , Kidou looked at her curiosity toward his Ability

  " Ne Sumeragi , you're probably thinking how can I move that fast huh ."(Kidou)

  "..."(Sumeragi)

  "Let me tell you . My Ability is ' Accelleration' "(Kidou)

  "..."(Sumeragi)

  "You can guess why that happened already right ?"(Kidou)

  "..."(Sumeragi)

  ' It still impossible , his ability is ' Acceleration ' that has proven why he can move fast . How can he accelerate his speed that fast in just 1 second '

  While thinking thoroughly about how Kidou can reach such speed in such short time ,she heard someone tell her

  " Well Sumeragi , focus on your duel , won't you "( Kidou)

  " Shut up , you haven't take out your weapon , I will have a reputation if I defeat someone who haven't use their weapon "(Sumeragi)

  Making herself an excuse , Sumeragi quickly regain her composure ,only to hear a mumble

  " I was planning to go easy on you ,but since you value your reputation that much , I'll show you "(Kidou)

  ' What was that '

  Finishing her thoughts , Sumeragi step back , once again held her katana-like weapon tightly , tension build up in her head . She hasn't felt like this since she fight the D-rank boss , no even more tension than that . Enough tension to make her stop fighting and collapse if she not ready for it.

  " Come on Sumeragi , don't be so tense , I am not a boss "(Kidou)

  " S-Shut up , draw out your weapon quickly "(Sumeragi)

  " Hai ,hai "(Kidou)

  Answering Sumeragi sarcastically , Kidou quickly mumble

  "Come forth 'Dark Blade' "(Kidou)

  'Wait , did he said 'Dark Blade ' , impossible , is he actually has an attribute of–'

  " You realize huh "( Kidou)

  Smiling wryly, Kidou quickly use his Ability to shorten his gap between himself and Sumeragi , a gap of 3 meter suddenly shorten into less than 1 meter and that happen in less than a second . Before she could react , Kidou quickly put his fist in the gap in front of her stomach then jump backwards

  ' Why didn't he hit me '

  Just before her thoughts ended, Sumeragi felt a sharp tang in her stomach before she flew back a few meter .

  ' What just happened , he didn't punch me right , why ?'

  "I just accellerate the oxygen in front of my fist and punch it , it create a shockwave-like wave toward the direction I punch, sounds cool right"(Kidou)

  ' He has understand his Ability that much already '

  Right after she got up , she instantly activate ' Razelibur ' a skill which slash out a rain of light sharp as razor , and also with her Ability , the upcoming attack seems endless . But instead of dodging , Kidou just stay still while laughing

  " You can use Light Attribute too , nice. "(Kidou )

  After giving Sumeragi a compliment he quickly counter attack

  " 'Black Gatling ' "(Kidou)

  After using the skill , 5 shred of black-like silk fly towards the rain of light .

  ' Huh , how can 5 shreds can defense against my attack , he just bluffing I guess '

  The shred quickly disappeard when touched the light razor , making Sumeragi somewhat happy

  " The fun has just begun Sumeragi "(Kidou)

  Laughing at Sumeragi , Kidou quickly use 'Black Gatling ' again but now with his Ability 'Acceleration' applied to his arm which increase his speed dramtically , making him unleashing crazily fast attack . In results , flying towards Sumeragi ,the amount of black shreds is many times more than the rain of light she unleash . Seeing that Sumeragi can't stop feeling scared .

  ' I'm going to lose '

  " That much , how can you-"(Sumeragi)

  " Is not that much you know , this is nothing near 1% of my maximum speed "( Kidou)

  " Heek "(Sumeragi)

  Hearing Kidou answer , Sumeragi can stop but scaredly squeak out , that amount is not much . What kind of strength he have really ? As curiosity rise in her , she also felt scared .

  Boom

  The rain of attack has reach Sumeragi and leave a huge crater on the ground , leaving Sumeragi suffering from a bad headache . Even worse than anything she has experiend

  " Uh , that hurts you know , you can be more gentle to a girl you know "(Sumeragi)

  " Who want to enslave me , certainly it's not the girl I hurted right ? "( Kidou)

  " You .."( Sumeragi)

  " Come on , you want to end the fight quickly , don't you ?"(Kidou)

  Provoking Sumeragi , Kidou quickly unleash his weapon and use ' Black Snake ' , just like the name says , it's an attack that unleash snake-like shred of black toward the enemies to bind them.

  " One last thing Sumeragi , you shoudn't look down on people or be so arrogant "(Kidou)

  " Wha-"(Sumeragi)

  Sumeragi squeak as the snake-looking shred slowly , but tightly tie her down .

  'Is this too sedutive'

  Kidou finished his sentence , sigh and then mumble

  " I don't want to make a girl fainted so , Sumeragi ,I am indeed sorry "( Kidou)

  Giving out an apologetic tone , Kidou quickly send a strong shockwave towards Sumeragi making her fainted .

  "Referee , with that , I win right "(Kidou)

  Smiling at the referee , Kidou didn't notice that he has left the referee in a difficult situation

  /-/

  Mizu PoV

  After saying hi to me , Kidou quickly get on to the stage . He is going to face a D-rank Warrior , and on his face , he just show relaxation , no signs of hesitation or scared towards Sumeragi . Why is he so confident , I don't really know . Although I have known him since childhood , everything about him seems so mysterious to me , especially his strength . Only that one time ,when we were attacked by a monster that I got a sneak-peak of his strength , and he is strong , much stronger than me at that time .

  " Ha ,do you wanna bet, I bet that Sumeragi gonna win . "(Student)

  " Doesn't that the outcome of the match ,there's no way Sumeragi gonna lose right . You can say that she is the strongest in our year now , how can someone who doesn't have any Attribute or Ability can win "(Student)

  Behind me , I can hear people mocking Kidou , those people are so shallow , only value Attribute and Ability over one physical condition . Talking about Attribute , was it at grade sixth that his Attribute was known right . At that time the tool used to measure his Attribute displayed black , and after that he was said to be Attributeless , but if someone is Attributeless , the tool supposed to show pitch black but wasn't that tool show a purple-ish black . That means he does have an Attribute right ?

  " Heh , he is done for , how could anyone dodge 6 'Wind Razor ' at a time , this is overkill ."(Student)

  'I hope Kidou is still alright '

  After the 6 Razor landed , everyone were expected a scence where Kidou lying there fainted while Sumeragi effortless ly win the match . But that not reality . After the attack landed , Kidou just appeared behind out of nowhere , and that got everyone attention

  " What happened ,why is he behind "( Student)

  " I don't know , he just appeared out of nowhere"(Student)

  ' Why is he there , don't tell me he just use his Ability '

  While the other students still in surprised , Sumeragi quickly unleashed more skills and a storm of Razor fly toward him , once again making a scence where Sumeragi dominating Kidou.

  " Maybe that was just a fluke , now with that much attack ,he surely can't escape now "(Student)

  " Haha,I actually thought he got some skill , but it just that he is lucky "(Student)

  ' Please be safe Kidou'

  But once again , the student was surprised when they see Kidou behind Sumeragi for the second time . They wipe their eyes again and again , hoping that it wasn't the truth

  " He is behind again "( Student)

  " How can he ..? There musn't be some faults in Sumeragi attacks right ?"(Student)

  They keep staring at Kidou and Sumeragi , they seem to be chatting , after Sumeragi loud 'Shut up ' , all they see was Kidou smile and while mumbling something and draw out his weapon , a simple sword with a big double edge black blade and also a black handle . It gave out a simple but dangerous look,feel as if you can feel its blood thrist from far away

  'It's his weapon , looks so familiar '

  "It's a weapon , he can actually use it "(Student)

  " It's a surprise , I didn't think he can use one"(Student)

  After drawing out his weapon , he drew close and turn his hand into a fist pushing it into Sumeragi stomach ,but instead of hitting her, he stop after almost his punch and then quickly jump back , it seem as if he hasn't done a thing ,but after he jumped back Sumeragi suddenly flew backwards on to the ground , making a painful face

  " Why is Sumeragi flying back , he didn't hit her right "(Student)

  " And Sumeragi is actually hurt , how can he do it "(Student)

  ' A-Amazing, I didn't think that he would be this strong now '

  After getting up Sumeragi quickly use a Light Attribute skill , towards Kidou was a storm of white razor , if he get hit by it he would instantly fainted and would end up as Sumeragi slave, which will take away all of his freedom

  But still he didn't show a hint of worry , he just stand still , when the attack almost reach him , he just unleash a skill and 5 black shreds fly out instantly vanished , seeing that Kidou just laugh and use the same skill once more but now he seem to use his Ability , turning a mere 5 black shred into a wave of black shred much greater than Sumeragi has unleashed

  Boom

  The wave of attack hit Sumeragi , once again pushing her to the ground lying tiredly . Kidou just slowly walk toward where Sumeragi was lying , saying something to her and then unleashed a strong force from his hand , making Sumeragi fainted

  ' He really did it , Sumeragi was beaten by him '

  Seeing Sumeragi was defeated without being able to land one attack on him , the student around me just keep silence , until that silence was broken .

  " Referee , with that I win right"(Kidou)

  /-/

  " Referee , with that I win right "(Kidou)

  After Kidou let out his voice , the referee who was watching the match in shock , return from his shock , trembling and let out a voice so that everyone can hear it

  " The duel between Arasage Kidou and Sumeragi Saya ended with Arasage victory . According to the duel , Sumeragi now has to dogeza and sorry Arasage "(Referee)

  " Forget about the outcome or the consequences , referee , can you tell someone to come here and help Sumeragi please , help the fainted first "(Kidou)

  " Ah okay "(Referee)

  " Well , since the match is over , my role here is done right , I'll take my leave then"(Kidou)

  The referee keep looking at Kidou as he walks away from the field . He can't stop wondering ,how can he beat Sumeragi , the prodigy of the school and with such ease . Not only the referee , the students also gossip about what happened

  "He beat Sumeragi , how strong is he really "(Student)

  " The outcome was really unexpected , it seems impossble , I'm I dreaming "(Student)

  " Heh, he win against Sumeragi ,I think I just notice but he looks really good right "(Student)

  Some of the students didn't really get what happened , and just angrily express their feelings

  " Hey referee , he is indeed cheating , how can he beat Sumeragi that easy "( Fanboy)

  " Right , how can a weakling like him ,beat our goddess "(Fangirl)

  Although Sumeragi has only move to the school for 4 days , she has already got her own fan club of students from middle school and high school due to her good looks and talent , seeing their goddess got beaten , they couldn't help but feel angry .

  " You saw it right Sumeragi was defeated by him , the guy you called a weakling "(Referee)

  "But.."(Fanboy&Fangirl)

  " If you have anything , just battle him"(Referee)

  "..."

  As soon as the referee mention battling Kidou , all of the opposing student suddenly felt silent . That person beated Sumeragi effortlessly , how can they stand a chance against him .

  The students was then made to leave the field

  After all the students leave the field , the field got emty again , the only one left there are the teachers . They seems to be discussing about the duel , and also the surprising outcome

  " I can't belive someone defated Sumeragi , and it's only a student "(Teacher)

  " He wins against her so effortlessly . Who is this Arasage Kidou anyway , why do we never heard of him before ."(Teacher)

  " Well ,I have heard that he was called a weakling with no Ability or Attribute , but after seeing that match , I don't think he is a that weak "(Teacher)

  As the teacher keeps on discussing , the school return back to normal . Though it has return to its normal state , Kidou is still nowhere to be found , not in his class , or any place in the school . Until the end of the day he is nowhere to be seen , even Mizu , his friend from childhood know where he is .

  ' I wonder where he is '

  After the school end , Mizu walk to Kidou's house , only to find noone at home

  'Not in his house either '

  Seeing no one at home , Mizu quickly walk home for her usual meal . While eating her mother ask her

  " Kasen , you tell me about the duel between Kidou and that prodigious D rank Warrior right , who won ?"(Mother)

  " A, Kidou won "(Mizu)

  " Oh ! "(Father)

  " Really , he used his Ability too ."(Mother)

  " Maybe , I guess , you know his Ability , Mom?"(Mizu)

  " Yeah somewhat , I only know from what Hatsumi , ah Kidou's mom for your case ,tell me "(Mother)

  " What's his Ability then "(Mizu)

  " I think it's something dealing with speed, let me see ..., ah , ' Acceleration ' , that's right"(Mother)

  " So that's why , I always thought that Kidou is hiding me something , huh ... , he is mysterious isn't he "( Mizu)

  Continuing her discussion his her mother , Mizu tell her mother what happened , and they chat enthusiastically until her father stepped in

  " Seeing that Kidou's strength now , if you have any problems just ask him , he will help you deal with it . "(Father)

  " Y-yeah "(Mizu)

  Keeping her blushes in she let her mind wandered off

  ' Kidou will be at school tomorrow right , I'll ask where did he went off '
