Chapter 21 - Hell’s Dominion (10)

Huh?! Who are you referring to?

Damn it, he's gone and if I didn't know any better, I'd hope that this would be our last encounter.

Reality is a cruel concept. Those who exist in reality are all equal, but some are more equal than others and Kaiser already understood this, but due to this confrontation he had not choice but to understand the reality of his position.

Moments later Kaiser began to laugh at the realization of him becoming comfortable in a chaotic reality such as this one, but how could he not become comfortable. He had a strong sponsor, strong abilities, and the confidence to use them proficiently or at least he thought so.

Hehe… I'm weak- horribly weak.

But I refuse to sit here in my own weakness and watch myself fade away!

With those words a small flame ignited inside of Kaiser- a small but noticeable flame that slowly began to grow gradually the more conviction he felt. While staggering to stand up Kaiser clenched his fist and made a vow at the moment to gain strength that goes farther then just the body alone. Once he decided on this he knew exactly what his next move was as he began to run home fueled with a sense of determination.

This is a splendid outcome- go little Kai. Get stronger- do everything you can to become stronger. You must be prepared for the distant future and so must I.

Days, weeks, and soon months began to fly by, and with all the time that has passed Kaiser had been doing nothing more than training himself consistently as each day flew by. Of course, he didn't only training alone- he'd also often train with Micheal and occasionally trained with Alice to enhance his combat and mental skills. Training consistently Kaiser began to develop differently - his senses became stronger- his mind became stronger, and his overall control over his body and abilities increased to new heights.

Time flew by without Kaisers' awareness and before he realized it three months had already passed by him in the blink of and eye, and this realization hit him while standing in front of the school gates. He had his thoughts on the matter, but those didn't last long as he was interrupted by Micheals' shenanigans. This causes him to walk off with Micheal chasing after him.

***

Bro, I'm telling you hotdogs with nacho cheese is delicious. You've gotta at least try it.

Micheal… I'm not eating that shit.

Tsk, your lost man. More for me.

… I forget how weird you are sometimes.

While enjoying the presence of his friends Kaiser had a lingering thought in the back of his mind. Three months had passed since the day he encountered Mr. 3, and in all that time Kaiser had yet to see Hela once.

He had been thinking about her for the past three months due to her absence and Mr.3, but soon his jaw dropped as he watched Hela not only walk into the classroom and take her seat, but with such a causal manner as well.

Hello, it's been a while Kaijin.

Um yes it has been! Where have you been all this time?!

Oh yeah, about that- I've been pretty sick for the past few months and due to that I couldn't come to school.

He replied to her reasoning but for some reason he felt a nagging sensation picking at the back of his mind. Unsure of whether this feeling was due to his senses or his mind playing tricks on him, he decided to not question her any further on the matter

Alright class settle down. Now as you all may or may not know the school is holding a festival in a week and a half's time with the main attraction being the sparing portion.

Ah yes- the festival. Who doesn't know about the school festival.

"The festival in question is already a pretty big event in of itself. Ranging from carnival rides- to games meant for older and younger audiences, but all of those pale in comparison to the true attraction- the sparing tournament. Students of each year will be pitted against other students where they will test their might. It's not only a way to display the level of proficiency of the schools teachings, but it's also a way for students to gain experience from their upper-class men."

"Can't say I haven't been looking forward to it tho. All this training I've done- being able to see the fruits of my labor. I get shivers just thinking about it."

And now with that announcement over- it's time to continue with this week's lesson on how our systems work.

In this world we have a thing we call "systems" and as you all may already know systems are how we directly use our abilities. Now let's go further in-depth- systems are not created equally by no means. To give you an example someone with a common class rarity is only given the bare minimum of information in regard to their abilities. However, someone of the ultra class rarity is given significantly more information on how their abilities work even to the extent on tips on how to use one's abilities more effectively.

And in some rare cases when a person has made a connection with their deity their system goes through changes and becomes more accustomed to the person in question.

Ah I see… Wait I have a question Ms. Rias?

Yes, what is it Kaiser.

Is it possible to see one's own stats?

Hmm… well as far as the records go I'd have to say no. No type of class has been known to enable one to see their own stats- this is why we do an evaluation every school year to determine the stats of our students.

"Hmm so I guess that makes me the weird one then huh. I'm clearly able to see my own stats. I'm even able to get a vague sense of others stats. Must be due to my high awareness."

Okay Ms. Rias, thank you.

Of course Mr. Ulrich. Now students proceed to the lunch room.

I'am hungry- could definitely go for a bite.

Me to man.

"The cafeteria was more or less one of the better places in Lugaria high for multiple reason. The scenery of this place is magnificent- the multiple colored marble floors and pillars gave a flare to the place, and the food In this place was of an even higher quality- of course not being better than mom's cooking."

And-

Hey.

Huh?!…Uh hey wassup.

I'm going to sit with guys since I don't rlly have anywhere else to go.

Yeah sure thanks for asking- I was only just internally monologuing.

Huh?

Never mind.

"Great I never would've guessed that Hela would want to sit with me and Micheal. I really hope this doesn't draw unwanted attention-"

HEY!!

…Oh brother. Hey… how can I help u.

I'm also going to sit here today as well.

Of course, thanks for asking if I was okay with it first.

But I didn't?

Exactly.

"Great now with Alice here all my hopes of not drawing attention are now gone and down the drain."

Alice why are you even here? I know for a fact you have your own table to go to.

Actually I'm here for Hela.

Hela?

Hela, I Alice Ethereal challenge you to a duel

HUHH??!!
