-Time Skip 3 years-
Hyaaa!!
With an unnecessary yell, Cid charged towards Claire.
Clang!!
With a metallic clang, Cid's sword collided with Claire's.
"Your lunge is weak!" Claire exclaimed, throwing Cid meters away.
As Cid was recovering from the throw, Claire charged towards him.
As her sword was near Cid's neck, Cid blocked at the last second, saving his neck from being cut, but the force of the block sent him flying to the river on the side.
Cid slid on the water, and after some time fell into the water.
"Jeez! You're too strong!" Cid exclaimed.
"That boy never makes any progress" Claire said as she touched her neck.
"Miss Claire! Your mother is calling; the guests are arriving for your farewell party" a maid said.
"Cid, I won't be able to practice with you for a while, but make sure to continue training on your own" Claire said.
Yes, ma'am.
"Bring a towel and a change of clothes for the boy" Claire ordered the maid.

'Someone give this guy an Oscar,' Victor thought to himself.
It's been 3 years since the alpha incident, and I am happy to say that I am no longer committing mass murder on the local bandit population for mone-- I mean for combat experience.
What do you mean it is because there is no longer a bandit population? It is because I have achieved inner peace.
He also found the other remaining 6 shades and helped them.

Well, anyway, it is that part of ep 2 where Cid rambles about how novels go to an academy when they turn 15.
We skip that.
All you need to know is Claire is going to the Midgar Academy for dark knights in the royal academy.
And she got kidnapped!
And yes, only Claire is going to the academy, as the kaganou are minor nobility, and they can't afford both of them, so they choose Claire to go to the academy as she was the oldest and showed the most potential.

I didn't intervene in this part of the series as I forgo-- i mean, had something else to do. Victor talked to himself as he was schizophrenic.

- In a dungeon far from the kaganou resident-
"You know I had a daughter i would prefer not to have to resort to violence, Claire Kaganou" the boss of the kidnappers said.
And then he tried to kick her, which Claire dodged.
"You can still dodge that while locked up in magic-sealing chains? "The man said.
"I was taught that it's not about how much magic you have but how you use"it she replied.
You have a good father.
"That baldy?"
"No, I was taught by my brothers." Claire said.
"Your brothers?" The man asks questioningly.
"When we fight, I beat that boy every time, but Chris, I never manage to beat him; it always ends in a draw no matter how hard I try, but he always seems relaxed."
"But I am always learning from my brothers swords"
(AN: pause☠️)
"I've heard about your brother"
"When you showed signs of possession, he was the one who healed you, right?"
"What was his name again?"
Ohhh yes chris!
"I will have to send some men to check if he is that capable" the man said.
After hearing that, rage filled Claire as she broke one of the chains binding her and swung it at the white haired man, which he barely dodged.
"If anything happens to him, you will have to answer to me! "She yelled. As she forced her other hand out of the chain.
"You! You mutilated your own hands?! "The man yelled in shock.
"I will kill you, i will kill your beloved family, your friends, everyone you-" Before she could finish the sentence, a punch landed square on her face.
Claire flew back and landed on the ground, bleeding from her nose, and was unconscious.
"Cheeky little brat"
"No matter"
"We will know if she's compatible once we have analyzed her blood." He said.
"Viscount Grease!" Another man came running to the cell where the now identified Grease and Claire were having their friendly chat.
"What do you want?" Grease Yelled, annoyed.
Intruders!

After that, everything went according to the anime.

- With MC-
-In a random forest-
"This place should be far enough," Victor said to himself.
Friday!
"How far is the nearest human civilization from here?" He questions his trusted ChatGPT.
Around 15 kilometers away, she replied.
"Perfect!" He exclaimed.
Ok, Friday, summon it here.
As he said that, a large, tomb like structure appeared out of thin air.
