No one's POV

After winning their 12th match, Sora, Ikki, Stella and Julis were currently on the bus heading to a school training camp in Okutama.

Stella: Such fresh air! The Director sure is generous sometimes.

Julis: Giving us a week off is really great.

Ikki: Yeah. I appreciate it too.

Sora: She even set up a trip like this for us.

Stella: This is what they call a "Premarital Trip" in Japanese, right?

Ikki: Uh, that's a bit different...

Stella: Wow! Look Ikki! So pretty. Hey! Let's go see that waterfall later!

Sora and Julis just smile at the other couple.

Sora: Your little sister is really childish...

Julis: She get's excited over small stuff. But to be honest... this time I'm excited too. After all, this is my first time on a place like this.

Sora: You don't say...

(Timeskip)

Elsewhere, Shizuku and Nagi are sitting at the train station and Shizuku let out a sigh.

Nagi: That's the seventh time, Shizuku.

Shizuku: Huh?

Nagi: That you sighed. Your happiness will escape.

Shizuku: When I couldn't go with Sora and prevent my Brother from going on a trip with a lecherous princess, I lost my happiness a long time ago. If you would at least come with me, Alice, I'd feel more at ease.

Nagi: Sorry about that. I have an appointment too.

Shizuku: Yeah, I know.

Shizuku then picked up her bag and walked on to the train.

Nagi: Ah, Shizuku. I'll say one thing: I don't think it's just a sweet little trip for them. Woman's intuition!

Shizuku: Huh?!

Shizuku looked confused and before she could say anything, the train doors closed and back with Sora, Julis, Ikki and Stella, the 4 of them were walking up the path to the training camp.

Stella: It's a bit chilly.

Ikki: Are you alright? Want to borrow my jacket?

Stella then started blushing and smiling and Ikki looked at her confused.

Ikki: Huh? What?

Stella: No, I was just thinking that we're behaving like lovers.

Ikki: Y-You think? B-But you know, we actually are, um...

Sora and Julis: -_- Uwaah...

Sora: -_- Your sister is so lewd...

Julis: -_- I don't even know why she's behaving like this...

Stella: I wonder why the two of you are not acting like lovers do?

Sora and Julis: If that is the way you think than no! The way you guys are acting is like a marriage couple!

Stella: Woah... You guys are totally in sync.

Ikki: Guys!

Everyone then saw 4 people standing ahead of them and it was the student council.

Julis: The student council!

Sora: What are you guys doing here?

(Timeskip)

After being picked up by the student council, Stella and Renren were playing badminton very aggressively as Sora, Julis, Ikki and the student council watched.

Julis: What a fascinating sport.

Sora: -_- Wow! Is this even badminton?

Ikki: This sport is everything except badminton.

Saijou: Whatever it is, it's a big help. Now we don't have to play with Renren.

Utakata: Playing with someone who's all about physicality is exhausting.

Kanata: Though we didn't come here just to hang out today.

Ikki: Is that so? So, on some student council errand then?

Utakata: Yup! Huh, you guys are here for the same reason, aren't you?

Ikki: Huh?

Julis: Wait what?

Saijou: Have you perhaps not heard?

Sora: -_- I knew this is not juts a vacation.

(Timeskip)

Currently, Sora, Julis, Ikki and Stella are all helping the student council clean training camp room for the representative of the Seven Star Festival and Sora, Ikki and Utakata were cleaning the windows and Utakata was just sliding down his.

Utakata: The 5 of us wouldn't have been enough, so we asked the Director for some help.

Sora: Huh? The 5? But there are only 4 of you?

Utakata: Oh... one other member is currently doing her job that she was assign to.

Ikki: I-I see.

Utakata: It's nice having reliable assistants! What's more, Touka and Clau has wanted to meet you both for some time.

Ikki: Touka... The student council president?

Sora: Kirin's older sister, right?

Utakata: That's right, Touka Toudou. And the other is Clau, the other Student Council President. But Clau didn't joint this years Selection Match due to family reason.

Sora: You guys have 2 Student Council President?

Utakata: That's right! But they're both slacking off today, though.

Kanata: Vice President, that sound rather scandalous. The Presidents are just a bit late due to some business.

Utakata: That's how it was? But well, we're in a pinch too.

(Timeskip)

After they finished cleaning up, Sora and Julis were currently taking a walk on the woods, while Ikki and Stella went to go see the Waterfall.

Sora: This hiking could be used to train too. Right, Julis?

Julis: Right... Though I'm not really good with this kind of environment. It's been awhile since the two of us get to spend time together like this.

Sora: Yeah... usually Shizuku would interrupt us every second she's got.

Sora and Julis then smile before laughing at one another. And back with Shizuku, she is sitting in her room as she had went to visit the Kurogane household and she was looking through an old picture book with pictures of Ikki, her, Haruka and Sora. Shizuku then heard a knock at her door.

Servant: Miss Shizuku.

Shizuku: What?

Servant: The Master is waiting for you in the drawing room. And he has guests.

Shizuku: My father? And guests?

After leaving her room, Shizuku made her way to the drawing room and opened the door.

Shizuku: Excuse me.

Shizuku then opened door and saw her father standing by the window.

Shizuku: Did you call me, father?

Itsuki: Shizuku, it's been awhile.

Shizuku: Please state your business already.

Itsuki: We have a guest. So sit down and let's talk a little.

Shizuku: A guest?

???: You've sure have grown, Shizuku.

Shizuku then looked over and saw that it was none other than Sora's adopted father, Mediath Mesa a member of the Integrated Enterprise Foundation in charge of the Seven Star Festival.

Shizuku: Uncle...

Madiath: You've grown... my dear Niece.

Shizuku: If you have no business with me, I'm going back to my room. I only returned because I got a letter from Mother.

Itsuki: I had her write that letter.

Shizuku then looked back completely shocked.

Itsuki: You would turn a deaf ear to me, right? It seems I was correct.

Shizuku then looked at her father annoyed.

Shizuku: What is your goal? And what is the Integrated Enterprise Foundation in charge of the Seven Star Festival want as well?

Itsuki: I wanted to ascertain wether or not the daughter living away from her parents has been doing well.

Madiath: Is it wrong for me to wanted to see my Niece who's been winning all of her 12 matches. Is that not good enough?

Shizuku: I'm sure you've heard about me from the union.

Madiath: Of course I have heard about your selection match results. Winning all 12 matches... we couldn't be more proud. If only there is a representative for the Amagiri that is...

Itsuki: That's what a Kurogane is like. I'm sure you're a shoe-in to become a representative. Just keep focused-

Shizuku: Sora and Big Brother keeps winning too! Aren't you both proud of them?

Itsuki: Ikki huh?

Madiath: What about that Yatagami?

Shizuku looked at Madiath completely shocked when he address Sora as his given last name, not his real last name.

Shizuku: Do either of you even care about them? Or do you still blame Big Brother Sora for Big Sister Haruka's disappearance?

Madiath:...

Itsuki: That's not true.

Shizuku: Liars!

Shizuku looked even more furiously and just walked out the room and slammed the door behind her and back with Sora and Julis, the two of them were currently at a lake looking at the scenery with Julis leaning against Sora's shoulder.

Sora: Only a few more matches and we could enter the Seven Star Festival.

Julis: As long as you could win you match in less then 5 minutes, or people will know about your seal.

Sora: Well, I'll figure something out.

Julis: Your one to talk. How can you be so optimistic?!

Sora: Its not like I'm feeling optimistic. I know this is serious. But... I can't break my promise.

Julis: Promise?

Sora: I told you I'd have your back, Julis. Don't you remember?

Julis then started blushing.

Julis: I-Idiot! What kind of thing is that just blurt out?

Sora: But... At this rate, I'm just going to be doing the same thing over and over, so... It's about time... I faced up to this seal, once and for all, you know?

Julis looked surprised and grabbed Sora's face with both her hand.

Julis: Sora, don't try to fight alone.

Sora: Eh...?

Julis: You have us. And if you're going to have my back, then I'm going to have your back, as well.

Sora just smile at her.

Sora: Thank you, Julis.

Julis then leaned in and went to kiss him went suddenly it started raining.

Sora: Ah... It's raining. We should go find a shelter.

Julis: *Slight Blush* Y-Yeah...

Sora and Julis then started walking back when they saw a lodge and went they opened the door, they saw Ikki naked and was undressing Stella and her clothes and the two of them looked completely shocked and Ikki and Stella started blushing.

Julis: WHAT THE?!?!

Sora: OKAY! YOU TWO ONLY HAD BEEN DATING FOR HOW LONG AND ALREADY TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!!

Ikki: No wait... this is not what it's look like!

Sora: Explain!!

Ikki then explain about Stella having a fever, and her body temperature is rising and decided to take some clothes of to comfort her, but Stella want Ikki to undress himself as well, to make Stella even more comfortable and Julis started glaring at them.

Julis: Stella!! You pervert! You could have ask me for help!!

Stella: B-But... we finally have time to ourselves...

Julis: YOU LEWD GIRL!!! I DON'T RECALL MOM AND DAD RAISING YOU TO BE LIKE THIS!!

Sora: AND YOUR OKAY WITH THIS?!?!

Ikki: I'm sorry!

Julis: Anyway! You boys get out now!!

Sora and Ikki then went out of the tent and Sora went to call the Student Council telling them that they are taking a shelter at a mountain lodge and after he was done, he told Ikki that they will picked them up soon, when suddenly they saw a giant golem in front of them.

Sora: What the?!

The golem then went to slammed it's fist towards the lodge and Sora and Ikki used their Noble Art to speed blitzed and grabbed Julis and Stella out of the lodge.

Stella: Ikki...

Julis: Sora...

Sora: Stay here.

Ikki: We'll defeat that guy.

Ikki and Sora then rushed towards the golem and Ikki summoned his Intetsu and Sora summoned his Orga Lux.

Ikki: The First Secret Technique: Saigeki!

Sora: Amagiri Shinmei Style One Handed: Fugaku!

With one strike from Ikki and Sora, the two of them managed to destroyed the Golem, but the Golem suddenly turned into more golem and they looked completely shocked.

Sora: What the hell?

Ikki: And why us in the first place?

Sora and Ikki started killing multiple Golem, when suddenly the Golem were turned to ash and they saw Julis who was standing in front of Stella with her Red Lotus.

Julis: Burst into bloom: Living Stone Daisy!

Julis then sent multiple balls of fire towards the golem and multiple magic circle started appearing on the ground and flame started to erupt from them.

Julis: Come out: Floral Padelum!!

Julis then destroy even more golem but continue to keep spawning.

Sora: They just keep coming...!

Suddenly, something came crashing down from the sky, destroying a large amount of golems and it was Renren and she grabbed Julis and Stella and dragged them to safety.

Renren: Sorry for the wait.

Stella: Renren...

Julis: What are you doing here?

Suddenly, Saijou came out of no where, saving Ikki and Sora and destroying more golems.

Ikki: Saijou...

Sora: About time...

Saijou: Let us take care of them!

Renren then grabbed Ikki and Sora and brought him to Julis and Stella.

Renren: Keep the patient safe.

Ikki: Stella, are you alright?

Stella: Ikki! What about you?

Ikki: Yeah, more or less.

Sora: What about you, Julis?

Julis: I'm fine.

Utakata: That was a close call! How great.

Sora: Utakata!

The four of them looked down and saw Renren and Saijou starting to struggle with the golems.

Utakata: They're tricky enemies, aren't they?

Sora: Yes. No matter how much we destroy, it keeps coming back.

Ikki: It won't end if we just keep attacking the golem. There's likely a blazer controlling them somewhere.

Utakata: Sure looks like that. I think it's the work of a "steal wire user".

Ikki: Steel wire user?

Utakata: It's a blazer who uses magical strings to remote control inorganic substance. Some of them are able to control them from dozens of kilometers away.

Sora: So what can we do?

???1: No matter how far they are...

???2: In the end, they're connected here by magic.

???3: As long as we can find the source, shouldn't be a problem.

Sora, Ikki, Stella and Julis looked back and saw three person.

??? 1: So if you trace the string back...

??? 2: You'll find that person.

The three of them then drew their device, the first was a girl with glasses, long brown hair in a pig tails and a katana shot a bolt of lightning into a certain piece as she started rushing towards the golem taking them out,

and the second girl with wavy blonde hair with a split bangs at the crown of her head, and purple eyes and dual wielding a one handed sword and started taking the golems out as well,

and the third was a girl with dark, shoulder-length hair wielding a scythe as it slammed the scythe into the ground

and the Golems started to stop moving and the other two managed to to destroyed the rest of the golems, but

the destroyed golems transformed into one large golem and getting ready to crush them, as the two girls stare at it.

??? 1: Pandora...

??? 2: Raikiri...

The first girl then sent some sort of sound wave destroying it's hand and

The girl with the glasses then drew her katana and suddenly, a massive lightning bolt came crashing down into the golem, completely destroying it, leaving Sora, Julis, Ikki and Stella completely shocked.

Kanata: As impressive as always, Presidents. You're both our princesses.

Utakata: Allow us to introduce you all. The two strongest knights at Hagun Academy!

Utakata: Touka Toudou...

Sora: C-Claudia... Enfield...

Utakata: And over here is our other Student Council member who is as skilled as our two Presidents ... Irene Urzaiz.

Claudia then looked at Sora and smile at him.

Claudia: Ara Ara... Long time no see there, Sora... You're starting to look more like Haruka...

Elsewhere, back in the Kurogane household, Shizuku was sitting on her bed, petting her pet cat and suddenly, she got a message on her hand book and when she looked at it, she looked her eyes widened completely shocked and then she started to laugh and she narrowed her eyes at her hand book.

Shizuku: I see, that's interesting. That's a decent opponent.

On Shizuku's handbook, she had saw who she'd be facing next in her next selection match and she would be taking on Irene.
