Heavenly Saga

After staying for the night, Kraftvoll and Belle decided to go to the Feuersturm Castle first thing in the morning. Belle was left in the care of Kraftvoll so his relatives reluctantly accepted their decision.

Also, they thought that Kraftvoll's teacher, King Arthur, would protect them because of the Teacher-and-student relationship.

While the two of them were on the back of their own dragons, Kraftvoll used this time to tell everything that he experienced for the past half a year.

After Kraftvoll finished his stories, his girlfriend, Belle told him, "It's okay to fail! You can still come back after you become ready! I will come with you at that time as well! I'll catch up to you!" 

After hearing Belle, Kraftvoll could not help but show the brightest smile. At the next moment, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He remembered the current situation, after all.

With his curiosity about the matter, he asked his girlfriend, "Sorry for changing the topic but, what happened in the whole kingdom while I am away?"

The moment Belle heard the question, her expression changed to something even more serious than the one that Kraftvoll showed on his face. 

After she took a long sigh, Belle said to Kraftvoll, "After the news of your disappearance, the top leaders of the Holy Alliance began summoning back some of their elite soldiers from the front line to search for you. The enemy gets wind about this so they used that chance to attack before King Arthur was able to ascertain your current situation."

Kraftvoll was shocked beyond belief when he heard the words that came out of his girlfriend's mouth. After all, the situation became this messed up because of what happened to him.

"I know that I held a special status in the Holy Alliance. After all, even my master invited me as his student the moment we met each other. But to the point that it would lead to something like this." Kraftvoll said as his expression showed his deep frustration. 

Belle wanted to do something for Kraftvoll after seeing his face but he was riding on Azari's back. Before she could even do something, Kraftvoll was able to regain his composure. A moment later, he asked her, "What happened afterward?"

When she heard her boyfriend, Belle continued what she was narrating earlier. She said to Kraftvoll, "The Dark Alliance used the chance that they found without a moment of hesitation. After King Arthur announced your situation, it was already too late for the returning elite soldier. The equilibrium of the war was already titled to their side."

After saying those words, Belle took a long sigh which she decided not to show to Kraftvoll so there was a slight pause in her storytelling. A moment later, she continued telling the situation saying, "The side of the Holy Alliance continued to fight at the frontlines in the Krieg Verwustet until the need for reinforcement was needed. The noble families were summoned to bring some of their bannermen to the fold. The Dark Alliance also did the same thing until our Holy Alliance was forced to enlist soldiers from the academies."

"All of the nobilities were summoned back to their own family to fight under the banner of their family while the others were summoned back to remain safe to their own territories. Meanwhile, all of the students that don't have any noble blood were enlisted under the banner of Verrater Academy," said Belle as she continues to tell the story to his boyfriend.

Kraftvoll couldn't help but be worried about their classmates. After all, the students who belonged to the nobilities in the 210th class were the majority among their class.

A moment later, Belle continued her storytelling, "Princess Kyomi was not enlisted in the war due to the King's command. That's why I invited you to come with me to visit her or maybe you can persuade your master, His Majesty, to let us fight with the sides of our classmates."

"Don't worry, my love. That's my plan! I wanted to not bring you with me to that gruesome place called a war but based on your personality, you would not forgive me if I did that." said Kraftvoll on Ouryuu's back while he was patting Angela's head.

Although it was not from this world, Kraftvoll was able to see the sight of the battle when he tried to take the first trial of light from The Valkyrie. Kraftvoll wanted to avoid him, Belle, and his closest friends going there but Aredhel was sent there because she was a commoner.

Although she was taken in by a noble family, she was still a commoner in the eyes of society because she was not really a part of them. 

"Of course! If you ever did that, I would never talk to you again!" said Belle resolutely to his boyfriend.

Kraftvoll only laughed awkwardly in response to his girlfriend's last remark. Riding their dragon partners, this couple was able to arrive at Feuersturm Castle after a few dozens of minutes.

"Young master Kraftvoll has arrived with Lady Belle on her side!" the guard of the gate of the castles announced upon Kraftvoll's arrival.

Kraftvoll entered the castle of the king while he was holding hands with her girlfriend, Belle. Before they could even enter the entrance of the castle, Princess Kyomi suddenly greeted them with a smile.

"You finally arrived, Kraftvoll!" she said to Kraftvoll with a wonderful smile on her face.

"Yeah. I'm home, Kyomi. Where's master? I have something to talk with him." said Kraftvoll after hearing the greetings of the human princess.

Princess Kyomi's expression suddenly changed after hearing Kraftvoll's word because she knew what exactly it was that Kraftvoll was going to ask. "He's in his study. Let me come with you. I'm sure he would let me come if I'm with all of you." said Princess Kyomi as she was leading the two of his closest friend toward the king.

"Father. Kraftvoll had arrived at the castle. He said he has something to tell you," said Princess Kyomi as she knocked to the door of the king's study.

"Okay, the three of you can come in," said the king after hearing his daughter.

King Arthur was able to know that there are three of them because of one of his skills. The three teenagers were not shocked about this because they knew that the king of Walkiria Kingdom was a supreme expert.

"It's been a long time, my student. So in the span of half a year, you were able to reach the rank of Seishin Royalty, huh?" King Arthur said as Kraftvoll and the two young ladies entered the king's study.

The one that was shocked the most when she heard it was the human princess, Princess Kyomi. On their way to the castle, Kraftvoll was able to tell his girlfriend, Belle, that he already managed to reach that realm so she was not that shocked.

"WHAT!? You're already a seishin practitioner at the rank of Seishin Royalty!? The youngest person known to reach that level was the Seishin Elementalist Queen, Rosa Fraulein Wunderschonen when she was 25 years old! How were you able to do that at 17!?" asked Princess Kyomi because she was shocked about Kraftvoll's recent achievement.

She was not jealous of Kraftvoll's achievement because she was extremely proud of him. But she was just shocked after hearing Kraftvoll's unprecedented talent. After all, the Seishin Elementalist Queen had the same talent as him.

After hearing and seeing her reaction, Kraftvoll showed a hint of a smile to his close friend, Princess Kyomi. A moment later, he said to her, "I just managed to encounter a valuable experience, Someday, I will bring all of you to that place someday for all of you to receive the benefits of that place as well."

"What do you mean that pl-!" 

Before Princess Kyomi was able to finish his question to Kraftvoll, her father, the king, interrupted her by saying, "You will know about that later, my daughter. For now, the two of you can leave my study. I want to talk with Kraftvoll, alone."

"Wait, master. Before I tell you everything about my trip, I have something to ask you," Kraftvoll said to his master, the King of Walkiria Kingdom.

The king's expression suddenly became serious after hearing Kraftvoll. A moment later, "NO. I know what you are thinking, my student. I will never let you enter the battlefield until you are strong enough."

Kraftvoll was about to interrupt his master but he decided to refrain himself because he had a very deep respect for the supreme seishin practitioner.

King Arthur continued on his lectures saying, "Besides, the three of you don't know anything about a real battlefield. On the battlefield, the moment you hesitate, you will be dead. That's why you must kill others to survive. I don't think the three of you could survive there."

"I can survive there, master!"

"You-!"
