The atmosphere is getting intense with the arrival of Daybreak, Chevalier and Squire are behind Daybreak— regaining their composure. The silence is deafening as they are just staring at one another. Historia turns his back and summon his motorbike.
"Where do you think you are going?" Daybreak steps closer with weapons in hands.
Historia simply looks back at them. "I am already outnumbered, I will be taking my leave."
Without even letting them say a single word, Historia exited through a book portal. Daybreak sheathes back his sword to his shield and hang it on his back, he then summon his spectral horse and rode on it.
Chevalier steps in front of the horse. "You are Daybreak, right?"
"What do you want?" His voice is annoyed, he certainly doesn't want to be bothered right now.
"I am Kazami Yugo of the Yamato Industry, you will come with us for questions." He said as he retract his helmet. "Specifically about you and that Historia."
"Stay out of Historia's bad side, that thing is a force to be reckoned with." Daybreak turned his horse to the opposite direction. "If I hadn't arrived, both of you would've been dead."
"That's not what I—"
Daybreak rode off and disappeared into a red smoke. Shion and Yugo untransformed.
"I can't believe those two... Just what are they?" Yugo removed his Belt Driver and hang it on his shoulder.
"I believe this would require more study, if what that Daybreak said was true then we can't engage with them without caution." Shion has her hands on her pocket, thinking.
"Indeed, I had the footage of the fight, we will analyze it as soon as possible. For now, you should retreat."
Having nothing much to do, Shion and Yugo went back to the Yamato Main Base that is located in the middle of the Kisaragi City. They took their rest for the day while Kaguya is working to both upgrading their suits and analyzing the previous fight.
**********
It's the next day, students of Wisteria Academy walking their way to the school, one of such student is Ginko who is in a proper school uniform. The Wisteria School Uniform, white polo under a grey coat with purple trimmings along the collar and white cuffs, the trousers are simple black slacks. his silver jacket is tied around his waist. He's slouching, certainly both bored and annoyed.
"Damn it... That Historia got me good." He sighed— his body still aches from the previous fight. "I can't believe I lost."
His uncanny walk makes the other student avoid him, he let out another sigh. Walking weirdly, Ginko bumped into someone, or rather, two people. Both of them looked back. Two tall people, a girl around 170-176 cm and a guy around 180-190 cm, the girl is wearing a different brown blazer while the guy is wearing a black long coat over his Wisteria uniform. The girl has long jet-black hair with her side hair braided and tied back, pinkish skin and totally black irises. The guy has a black wolf tail mullet that covers his eyebrows, round glasses and pale skin, his white eyes luster under natural light. One thing is in common between the two, their beauty will slap Akai's gorgeous face twice.
Ginko backed off seeing the two. "You are... Kamishiro Kiyomi!" He pointed at the guy.
"Who are you?" Kiyomi raised his eyebrow that is hidden under his fringe, confused.
[Name: Kamishiro Kiyomi]
[Age: 19]
"Yagami Ginko! We fought a week ago!" Ginko exclaimed clenching his fist.
"Doesn't ring a bell." He said, scratching the back of his head.
The woman next to him tugs his uniform. "He's the guy that is the reason for your one week suspension."
"Ah, the guy who curled up in a ball after getting kicked on the guts... I totally remember you now." His expression becomes more ominous, he slowly approached Ginko.
Ginko raised his fists up to guard, Kiyomi approached and goes for a side kick, his eyes glows under the shadow of his fringe as he attack. However, this is interrupted by a voice somewhere.
"Kiyomi!"
Kiyomi stopped just few centimeters away from Ginko's face, he stand back up. Looking at the direction of the voice came, it's Akai, wearing his usual uniform but with a red armband on his left shoulder with the word "Council" on it.
"Akai..." Kiyomi put his hand inside his coat's pockets.
Akai approaches Kiyomi and slaps his head with a red cloth. "You just got back from your suspension and you're already about to cause another trouble!?" He hands him the cloth which is the same armband as Akai's.
"That's not my fault, he's getting on my nerve." He snatches the armband and put it on.
"You are a member Student Council so act like one, you're making bad impression to our juniors" His eye twitches as his head hovers to the girl next to Kiyomi. "And who is this?"
"I'm Kurogane Reika, I am transferring here at Wisteria." She bowed in formality.
"And why aren't you wearing proper Wisteria uniform?" Akai raise his eyebrow. "You do know you need to be wearing proper attire when in Wisteria, right?"
"I haven't bought one..." Reika turns to Kiyomi. "Is he always like this?"
"5 days a week, yes." He patted Reika on the head.
"Shut up." Akai turns to Ginko. "As for you, if you start another fight, then you'll be suspended as well."
Ginko's brows crosses— having to deal with two people he knows he can't beat, he's just standing there silent. Akai together with Kiyomi and Reika left, so are the students who had been watching from the start.
Lunch time had arrived soon after, inside the campus is very fancy, it is as you one is inside a mansion— pillars, tall window, high quality door, long red carpets and chandelier. Inside was the Student Council room, only Akai, Kiyomi and Reika are inside as the other members left for lunch. Akai is on the desk at the end of the room while Kiyomi and Reika are together on the sofa around a coffee table, they have their bento with them. The inside of the Council Room has white marble flooring, elaborate trimmings along the wall, a mahogany cabinet on the left side of the room with files, video tapes, and television.
"So, how was your week of suspension?" Akai opened his bento box, his lunch is a simple rice with cheese burger steak, some lettuce and eggs, he also have a canned matcha tea.
Kiyomi opened his' which is a much fancier lunch, it has the usual rice with seaweed on the side, salmon sashimi lined up on one side, two sandwich slices with lettuce, strip of ham, ketchup and mayonnaise and finally a takeout black coffee.
"You could say it's not that eventful, mostly me alone in my house reading if not cleaning the place." Kiyomi took a peek on Akai's food only to be disappointed on how simple it is.
"And what about that?" Akai pointed at Reika with a brow raised. "I don't recall you having a koala holding on to you."
"Who are you calling a Koala!?" Reika's brows crossed, glaring directly at Akai.
"Yeah, I got a girlfriend now." Kiyomi ate a salmon slice with rice.
Akai makes a small cut on the steak. "One that is not as toxic as you ex?" He uses a fork and eat the piece he cut.
"Fortunately not, Reika is very lovely." Reika's face lighten up upon hearing those word. "A bit perverted though."
"Wha—" Kiyomi shoved a sandwich on Reika's mouth before she could say a word.
"That aside, being mostly alone does help me clear my mind." Kiyomi said. "Now, I should ask, do you have notes of the previous—"
"I'm not giving you any, that's your punishment for joining in the trouble." Akai finishes his food and pull out his handkerchief and gently wipes his lips.
Just as this is happening, a faint sound of explosion can be heard from the distance. They looked through the window behind Akai and saw smoke coming from the city. Akai took the remote from the drawer of his desk and turn the TV on, they are seeing a footage of a greenish humanoid Dragon Spawn standing around 3 meters in height. The Dragon Spawn seems to be in combat but not with the Yamato Riders.
From the dust emerges a Bulky Warrior whose armour shines metallic blue. His armour covers most of his body and resembles dragon scales with claw protrusions acting as spikes for the arm guards, shoulder plates, thigh armour and knees. His helmet has a black visor that resembles both a grill and a sword. He is dragging a very large sword that is at his length excluding the handle.
"Another one of those warriors it seems." Kiyomi lean in closer. "Their fight seems to be dragging closer—"
The footage lost connection and all they can hear was the explosions getting closer.
"I'm turning on the alarm, you two take refuge." Akai ran toward the exit, leaving the two.
Kiyomi and Reika simply looked at each other and nodded. The alarm went off and everyone is leaving the rooms, the students are heading to the gymnasium, some are panicking, some seems to be used to it. Kiyomi and Reika are already outside the school, going through a large hidden crack on the wall. Out of everyone's sight, Reika closes her eyes and her waist starts to glow, there the Historia Driver manifested on her waist.
"Be careful out there." Reika smiles and begins to glow.
Reika disappeared and the belt is now on Kiyomi's waist. A card manifests on his hand with the image of a book and quill as well the words 'Adaptive Diary' on it. "Henshin." He slides the card inside the belt and pushes the grip together, the gate on the belt opens up.
*†‡{Gate Open!}‡†*
~•{Learn Everything! Record Everything! Be Everything!}•~
A large book appeared behind Kiyomi, expanding to his height. The pages flew out of the book, folding themselves and wrapping Kiyomi in multiple pages, the folded pieces attached themselves on Kiyomi, acting as the shape of his armour and the cape, coat and loin cloth. The dark parts of his armour appears like ink dripping down on a paper.
His eyes glows. "Time to head out."
Meanwhile, the blue warrior is exchanging blow with the Dragon Spawn in the streets of the city. Each of their punches creates so much force that they create strong winds that blow small rubbles. Soon enough, Daybreak arrived. Seeing how the fight is going on, he can't come close as the wind is strong enough to hinder his movement. The two come to a stalemate that. They are trying to grapple one another and throw them like sumo wrestlers. With the wind force gone, Daybreak jumps in and cleaves through the head of the Spawn. The monster's head fell and blue blood gushes out of the monster's body. Daybreak and the blue warrior are staring at each other.
"You are that red warrior that had been appearing all over the news, aren't you?" The Blue Warrior squeezes the blood off his mantle.
"Red Daybreak, that's my name... And you are Blue Nightfall, the Berserker." Daybreak sheathes his sword back to his shield.
"Blue Nightfall, huh? The voice did say I now hold the mantle of Blue Nightfall." He said, scratching the back of his head.
"I know it's too much burden to hold the mantle of—"
Nightfall is looking over his armour. "Are we part of the same group? I look cool, don't I? This feeling... It's so exciting!"
"That's... I am at loss for word."
"If you are done talking, it's time to erase you out of this story."
A voice came out of nowhere which startled the two. They looked around to see Historia sitting on chair outside of a cafe, he is holding a tea cup with tea in it.
"Historia...!" Daybreak unsheathes his weapon and places his shield in front of him.
Nightfall steps closer to Daybreak. "That's the enemy, right?"
"The fact that I haven't seen Silver Twilight in a while probably means he's now out of commission." Historia's voice is now more masculine, although, the voice of a woman still echoes in his voice. He stand up with his hands behind his back. "That makes my life easier."
Daybreak and Nightfall are now facing Historia, everyone is silent, only the breeze blowing newspaper can be heard. Historia has a card in his hand while the two are ready to attack at any moment, this marks disaster their fight will be.
