'It's so damn boring...'

So damn boring that I could die if this continues...isn't there anything fun to do? I felt someone tapped my shoulder as if trying to wake me up.

"Ichinose, hey, Ichinose Guren!" i opened my eyes as I stood up from my seat and grabbed the paperworks on the table.

"Is the long-ass meeting done?" I asked while ruffling my black locks.

"Drop that attitude, your merely a member of the Ichinose family."

"Well, if it isn't General Hiragi Tenri, please excuse me. I was just really bored right now."

"Don't get full you—"

"Now, now, that attitude of his is normal. I'll continue with my report." Shinya said as I stood up from my seat as everyone's eyes were on me.

"I'm gonna go, send me the information later."

"Come on, Guren. Even I can't defend you if your attitude is that bad."

"Who asked you to defend me?"

I creaked the door open while my other hand was in my pockets, I bid my farewells as I exited the room.

I was casually walking outside the district until I saw a white haired girl leaning on the liberty, waiting for me.

"Hey Shiro, sorry for the wait."

"Oh, Guren-san...it's fine, anyways, how did the meeting went?"

"It was freaking boring,"

"I knew you would say that." she giggled as I just scratched the back of my hair and sighed.

"I found you Guren!" someone yelled as that person kicked me, but before he could land a blow, I grabbed his ankle.

"Damn you Guren! Why did you disappear for ten days without giving me a cursed gear?!" i giggled in how direct this idiot Yuu is, I let go of his ankle as his back fell on the ground.

"Yuu! Are you okay?" Shiro asked as she came to his aid, but Yuu neglected her as he faced me.

"Hey Guren! Give me a cursed gear already and let me fight!"

"Do you really want to get revenge against the vampires that much?"

"Yeah! It's the only thing I live for!"

"The only thing, huh?"

Shiro walked up to me as she raised an eyebrow as if asking me what should we do? Signs like that.

"Alright, then let's sign a contract with a demon and I'll let you fight on the front line."

"Huh? Seriously?!"

"Guren-san! What are you talk—" i patted Shiro's head as she looked at me worriedly, she really cares for this idiot childhood friend of hers, huh?

"Yeah, but it's your fault if you die, but I don't think you'll die that easily."

"No! If Yuu died, I might—"

"Don't worry Shiro, I'll be fine on my own, on the contrary, I was waiting for something like this!" the idiotic Yuu cheered as Shiro seems to be worried.

"You really are an idiot, and by the way Yuu..."

"Huh?"

I kicked him on the head as Shiro gasped while Yuu was in shock.

"Don't kick your superior!"

Yuu fell on the ground as Shiro walked up to him, asking if he was fine, nothing really can defeat love...

"Let's go, Shiro...we're late."

"Huh? B-But Yuu is hurt!"

"Leave that idiot alone, he'll be fine on his own ways." she seems hesitant at first but then she walked up to me.

"See you later, Yuu!" she said as we started walking together on the main street quietly.

"So, who's your choice Shiro? That idiot Yuu, or that playboy Akaru?"

"W-What do you mean, Guren-san?"

"Simple, who do you like more? Yuu or Akaru?"

"Please don't ask irrelevant question like that, there's no way I could answer that kind of question..."

It's seems to be fun being young...

"I'll return your written exams today and call it a day! This results will affect the Cursed Gear rank you'll be receiving, good luck." Shiro said as she walked to distribute the papers for each and everyone.

Lastly, Shiro walked up to Yuu and handed him his test paper as she flashed a small smile.

"Better luck next time, Yuu." she said as she walked up to the front, Yuu looked at his paper as he felt his shoulder sank.

Until Shinoa snatched away his paper and began to tease his 0% percent grade that Yuu was hiding till now.

"Oh, wow! This is the thing!"

"Hey, shut up!"

"This is the score that everybody says only a superhuman can get!"

"Shut up and give it back!"

Shinoa began to ran while giggling as Yuu was literally blushing from embarrassment because of his failure.

Yuu finally caught her wrist to get his paper, but he was surprised that she hasn't have it in his hands, until...

"Whoa! What's wrong with him?"

"He seriously got a 0%"

"You're right, that's amazing!"

"All answers are written in Hiragana!"

Yuu grabbed his test paper back as he shoved it inside his pockets while stomping his feet on the ground.

For 00000.001 reasons, Yuu and Kimizuki began to fight as the two of them were disturbing the class, Shiro began to hold them off but no use.

"Jeez, please stop fighting!"

"Shut up Shiro, this is between me and this arrogant telephone pole!"

"He's right Shiro-san, please don't mind us and keep teaching the class."

But they're words say other else, Shiro sighed as she massaged her temples, not knowing what to do right now.

"What's going on? It's always so damn loud in here."

"Guren-san! You've returned!"

"Oh Shiro, yeah...anyways, are you managing this class properly?"

"O-Of course! Well...it's kind of hard to manage it sometimes."

Shiro let out a small laugh as Guren sighed while rubbing the back of his neck until he saw the cause of the noise...it was those two again.

"Hey Guren! Weren't you gonna give me a Cursed Gear?! How long—"

Kimizuki pushed Yuu out of the way as he did the talking instead.

"Lieutenant Colonel Ichinose, please explain. Why did you abandon your class and disappear for over ten days? I believe we have enough ability to make contracts for the Cursed Gear." he explained as Shiro and Guren looked serious this time.

"Oh? You think you shitheads have enough ability to make contracts with demons?"

"It's not that simple, once the demon took over your hearts...you'll never be the same ever again."

"Of course I do! This shithead Kimizuki can't but I can do it!" Yuu said, not trying to understand the circumstances that the two just said.

"Shut up Yuu!"

"No, you shut up!"

They began to beat each other as Guren turned to his partner, Shiro.

"Can they really resist the demon's temptation?"

"Well...Yuu has defeated a demon with willpower before, and then Kimizuki-kun has a tough mind, so I guess it's okay."

"Hmm...how about the other guys?"

"Surprisingly, Yoichi-kun has the highest stability against demons."

"Okay then, I don't like to complicate things, so let's give it a shot." Guren touched his Cursed Gear as Shiro turned to him, panicking.

"Wha-What? Now way, Guren-san!"

He pulled out his sword from his scathe as black stuff appeared everywhere.

"If you die, blame yourselves for not training so much!"

Faint screams that belongs to the demons can be heard as everyone's hearts started being squeezed. The furnitures, floors, and walls started to break from the immense power of the black sword. Lots of students fell on their knees, unconscious.

Guren observed the students slowly falling down on the ground as Shiro just stood there beside him, not affected of the sword's power.

"Okay, that's enough." he said as he brought his sword back in as the dark stuff vanished into thin air.

The classroom was a wreck, students laying on the floor unconscious, the floor cracked as the lights opened.

"You guys that are still conscious have a chance, if you continue your training you could move on the Contract Ceremony for the Cursed Gear." he said as his eyes roam around for the remaining survivors.

"They have weak hearts, Guren-san. If this continues, they won't be granted any Cursed Gears." Shiro said while her eyes looked at every students who are fallen down.

"Can't blame them, they are still on training-unlike you, who went straight and received a Gear."

"Well...not really the same Cursed Gear as them though."

Guren didn't respond as his eyes landed on the remaining people standing on their feets.

"So, it's Yuu, Kimizuki, and Yoichi that are standing—ugh...I wish you'd passed out." Shinoa could only let out a small laugh as Guren rubbed the back of his hair.

"Congrats everyone who are still standing, you'll know receiving your Cursed Gears right now." Shiro said as they started heading out as Yuu felt really glad.

'I'll be able to seek my revenge against those blood suckers after I received a Cursed Gear.'
