*morning at midgar academy *

*3rd pov*

We cut to see a dorm room where three individuals are sleeping, and one of them is a certain f/c hair teen sleeping with two beauties, until his eyes open up and yawn a bit. Y/n then felt something weighing him down, and looked to his side to see both alexia and iris, and smiled at the sight.

Y/n: *headpats both* *smiles* You two were definitely serious about getting me into your dorm.

While y/n patted the midgar sisters, they both smiled and snuggled up to their future husband with a smile. He still was a bit surprised at how serious his two girlfriends were about him staying with them ever since a certain pathetic knight and his cronies betrayed the kingdom.

Y/n: *smiles* 'While I can take care of myself easily, thank you two for caring about my well-being, I will always be grateful for that.'

Y/n then proceed to gently get out of bed and head to the shower room, but cause the sisters to stir and wake up.

Iris: *waking up* Y/n? Where are you my knight? I want more cuddling.

Alexia became fully awake, and took notice of the lights to the shower room turned on, and with a devious smile got her older sister out of bed, and proceeded to the shower room. While y/n had his back turned, he was taking off his clothes and before getting into the giant tube, he felt four hands on him, and slightly turned his head to see the midgar sisters almost practically naked with only white towels wrapped around their bodies.

Y/n: *slightly blushing* *smiling* Hello my princesses, why are you in the shower?

Alexia: *fake pout* Well, when my sister and I didn't feel your usual warmth on our bed, we took notice of you going to the shower. *sultry smirk* But it's only fair to have a good shower with our beloved. Don't you think so as well iris.

Iris: *slightly embarrassed* Y-yes. *slight sultry smirk* But it's only fair to have a special time with our beloved.

And in that shower, multiple moaning can be heard, especially some hands on the glass.

*Timeskip*

*1st pov*

After a good passion-filled morning with my girlfriends, iris went on ahead saying something about getting ready for a meeting in school. I assumed it was important, so I didn't pry into it. After some classes, I was currently at the cafeteria eating my lunch. Then skel and po arrived and sat across from me.

Skel: *smiling* Hey y/n, po and I haven't seen you for a bit since with zenon.

Po: *worried* Yeah bro, you alright?

Y/n: *small smile* I'm fine you knuckleheads, I got some help, so I didn't get interrogated by zenon's men. *eats for a bit*

Skel: *sighs in relief* That's good. *perverted smile* So now tell us bro, how's it going with princess alexia, spill the beans.

Po: *nods on wanting to know* I would like to know as well.

Y/n: *stops eating for a bit*

Y/n: You guys remember what alexia said, right?

Skel: *shiver in fright* W-well she isn't here at the moment.

Po: *shiver in fright* Y-yeah.

Y/n: *challenge look* You really want to test that bro?

Skel: *admitting defeat* Alright fine. *small smile* But I learned about a special sale going on at that mitsugoshi place everyone is talking about.

Y/n: *acting* That place that sells interesting items, that sounds interesting.

Po: *perverted thoughts* Maybe if I find the right stuff, I can get a girlfriend next.

Skel: *challenging* Step back po, I'm getting a girl next.

Po: *comical anger* What did you say!

While my two friends argued, I thought about what the cult could be planning next.

*slight timeskip*

*3rd pov*

We see y/n back in his classroom with the other students and his teacher announcing something.

Teacher: *small smile* Good evening students, we will be having two new students from a foreign land joining our class. *turns to door* You two can come in now.

Then two students came in. The first one was a male with wispy hair, and was wearing a male uniform, but somehow wearing a short skirt, but with black pants on.

While the other student was a tiger beastman with tan skin, but with a somewhat lazy/fierce look on her. While wearing a female uniform, it was tightening around a bit on her, and showing her muscles.

Y/n: *intrigued* 'Envy, and ghislaine. Interesting.'

Eric ( envy): *smiling* Yo, the name is eric fullmetal. Pleasure to meet ya.

Tala ( ghislaine): *lazy smile* My name is tala mihawk.

The female students were gawking at eric, while the guys were wooing at tala, but both of them didn't care about the attention, and instead looked at y/n with love looking eyes, well in eric's case a love mixed with lust look.

Teacher: settle down students. *looks at eric and tala*  *small smile* You two can sit between y/n. Would that be fine with you two?

Eric and tala: *smile* We would be more than happy with that.

After the two new "students" sit between y/n, the teacher continues her lesson, and while taking notes, y/n felt something on bothering his legs, and subtly took notice of a tiger tail wrapping around his left leg and a green tail on his right leg, and saw the two students writing notes, but he can tell they were happy sitting near him, and with a small smile he continued like everything is normal.

*Timeskip*

When class was over, y/n took the two foreign students with him, and told the teacher where their dorms would be, which the teacher was fine with. While walking with the two, y/n encounter alexia, but he noticed she was with iris and looked like they were going somewhere.

Y/n: Alexia? Iris? Where are you two going?

Iris: *small smile* Alexia and I are going to a small meeting, and will be back in a few hours.

Alexia: *notice the two* Who are those two, y/n?

Y/n: *gestures, and smiles* These two are new foreign exchange students from another land, meet eric fullmetal and tala mihawk.

Eric: *waves* Yo.

Tala: *waves* Hey~

Y/n: I just wanted to chat with them a bit in our dorm, and I'll guide them to their dorms.

Alexia and iris looked at the two new students, and felt like they met them before, but they decided to trust their beloved.

Alexia: *sighs a bit* Alright, *slight stern* but you make sure you don't get caught in some kind of trouble, alright?

Iris: *slight stern* Yes, it would be better for you not to get sucked up into something terrible.

Y/n: *chibi look* Come on girls, do I look like someone that would get caught into trouble.

Alexia: *slightly annoyed* You're lucky we love you our black knight, otherwise you would be tied up to stay in our dorm.

Iris: *sighs a bit then small smile* Just be safe y/n, and we love you.

Y/n: *smiles* Love you too my princesses.

After giving both iris and alexia quick pecks on the lips, they went to their meeting, and y/n continued with eric and tala to his shared dorm, and after getting there he set a special barrier, so no one could hear the conversation, or sense them.

*1st pov*

After setting up my barrier, I turned to "tala" and "eric".

Y/n: Nice to see you again ghislaine, and nice to formally meet you, envy.

When the two heard me say their actual names, they smiled and ghislaine got out of her slime disguise, and envy used her magic to turn her school outfit into her usual attire. Ghislaine then came close and gave me a tight hug.

Ghislaine: *smiling, and tail wagging happily* It's so good to see you again my master, it was a bit constricting to wear those clothing, but it's more than worth it to see you again.

Y/n: *smiling* It's good to see you again as well ghis, and I can sense you've been training well. I'm proud of you. *headpats ghislaine*

While I got out of the hug, I decided to sit on the bed, and ghislaine followed, and I still continued to give her a head pat with my left hand, while I focused on envy.

Y/n: *small smile* *looking at envy* You must be envy, alpha told me a bit about some of the recruits. She has told me about your unique talent for espionage.

Envy: *smirking* You got that right handsome. *walks closer to me*

When envy got close, she decided to sit on top of my legs, and wrap her arms around my neck.

Envy: *sultry smile* I always heard stories about you from the shades, especially from big sis ghis there, and I've been waiting this long to meet you, and safe to say I'm not disappointed with what I'm seeing.

Y/n: *smirks* I'm glad I met your expectations. *care look* Alpha told me what happened to you, I'm sorry for the pain you had to go through, especially the changes you had to come to terms with.

Envy: *sobre look* Thank you y/n, *angered look* but when those cult bastards turned me into a freak, all I want to do is tear them apart, piece by bloody piece.

Y/n: *brings right arm around envy, brings her closer* You're not a freak envy, beauty is in the inside. The cult will pay, and I promise their pain will not be swift.

I noticed envy's tail started wagging faster, and her violet eyes became more animalistic like ghislaine and delta when they want to show more affection.

Envy: *sultry smirk* As soon as those cult bastards are gone, I won't let you go until I have your children's y/n, and don't worry I can make my body bear childrens.

Ghislaine: *challenging look* Step back envy, I'm having master's kittens before you, delta and especially that flatboard elf. *lightning stare*

*somewhere a certain famous female elf pianiste sneezed*

Envy: *smirking* Will see about that big sis ghis. *stares back*

While noticing the two about to duke it out, I decided it's time to get a bit serious.

Y/n: *patted them both* Alright you two, settle down. It's time to get down to business.

After getting ghislaine and envy to settled down, they got up and stood up straight, but kept a somewhat close distance to me.

Y/n: *stern* I'm guessing alpha set you two to act as my bodyguards, but to also send me some reports.

Ghislaine: *smile* As usual, master, you already know what's going to happen. You're amazing!

Envy: *excited smirk* We didn't need to tell you, and you already figured it out like an open book. You're really a king among fools y/n. *smile* But yeah, alpha told me and ghis to act as your bodyguards.

Ghislaine: *stern* And we do have some reports to show you master. Lately there has been a string of murders that has been happening two days after alexia's kidnapping.

Y/n: *slightly confused* A string of murders? *stern* Do we know who's causing them?

Envy: *smirks* Yep. *shows the bloody poison thorn card* *shows a disgust look at it* This poison thorn group are the ones responsible for the kills, and this pathetic group are saying they are a part of shadow garden. And you can guess who's behind it, boss.

Envy gave me the bloody card, and safe to say I wasn't that impressed by what I read.

Y/n: *serious* The cult. *burns the card with his magic* They must be desperate to give us a bad reputation, but it'll never work. *looks at ghislaine* Ghislaine, make sure to contact alpha and get any current members to do a search in the city at night, and find the killers.

Ghislaine: *serious* Yes master.

Y/n: *serious* *looks at envy* And envy, I need you to use your abilities to snoop around here to see anything going on with the cult. I imagine that pathetic knight wasn't the only one around here a member.

Envy: *sadistic smile* You got it boss.

After giving them their order, I deactivated my barrier and got the two into their dorms. Afterwards I dressed up a bit to join my friends to go to mitsugoshi.

*Small timeskip*

*3rd pov*

It was evening, and when y/n along with skel and pol arrived to visit the store, they saw there was a long line.

Skel: *sees the long line* Man, I didn't think it would be that long.

Female associate: *smiling* *holding sign* The current wait time to enter mitsugoshi is 1 minute.

Female associate 2: *slightly timid* Please b-bare with us.

Po: *small smile* At least we got here at the right moment to get in faster.

Y/n: *small smile* You're right about that po.

While my friends and I waited a bit to get into the store, I took notice of the latest stuff that mitsugoshi was selling.

Y/n: *smile* 'Gamma has been doing well. It's to be expected for someone who has a high intelligence that can rival alpha or me.'

While y/n was still viewing, from inside the building on the second floor, a voluptuous female elf with dark blue hair and wearing a beautiful ring was staring at him lovingly. This person was gamma of shadow garden or luna in public. She is one of the original eight shades, and one of y/n's wives.

Gamma: *slightly nervous* 'Alright gamma, your husband is coming into this store soon, don't let your habit ruin this.'

While back outside, the three black knights in training were still talking a bit.

Skel: So anyway what are we going to-.

While his friends talked, y/n got a good look at the female associate who was holding a sign. The associate is a beautiful woman with brown hair, and with a slime figure. The associate then walked up to the three.

Females associate: *close eye smile* Sorry, but I was wondering if you could have a minute of your time. I hope you would be interested in taking a survey for us.

Y/n could sense a familiar magic signature from the associate, and immediately recognized it as the slime magic signature that is only apart of shadow garden, and played along.

Y/n: *acting* You mean me?

Brown-hair girl: *slightly bows* Yes. We'd really appreciate your feedback.

Skel: *excited* I'll take a survey!

Po: *excited* I will too!

Brown-hair: *still close eye smile* We only need one guest thank you.

Y/n: *pant his friends shoulder* Don't worry guys, it's just a survey, I'll see you knuckleheads in.

Skel and po: *dejected* Fine, see you bro.

*Y/n's pov*

After getting into the store thanks to the associate, I got a better look inside, and gamma used my knowledge well. Clothing, coffee, chocolate, It practically feels like I'm in a department store back in my old world.

While walking up some stairs, I decided to start up a conversation for a bit.

While walking up some stairs, I decided to start up a conversation for a bit.

Y/n: *small smile* It's interesting to meet the close aide to gamma. *looks at brown-hair* You're nu. I've learned from gamma that while you are a recent recruit, you've managed to make alpha impressed. Impressive.

Nu: *blushing smiles* Thank you for your praise lord cronan, and you're correct. Lady gamma is waiting for us in the personal suite. Will be there in a minute. *subtly looks at me, blushing* 'It truly is a glorious day to meet lord cronan, how do I become closer to him.'

*3rd pov*

After some walking, the three arrived at a large pair of doors, and they were opened by two female elf associates, which then led them to the special suite of mitsugoshi.

The front doors to the suite opened, and revealed to y/n two rows of female elf associates giving him respectful bows. Y/n then walked the aisle a bit, and took notice of his surroundings.

*Y/n's pov*

While walking, I sensed the familiar energy signatures from all the slightly bowing female elf associates. And knew immediately that they were part of shadow garden.

Gamma: *smiling* We have long awaited your arrival at our establishment, my husband.

I turned to see gamma wearing a beautiful dress and standing nearby a well designed chair.

Y/n: *smile* You've done well making this store quite profitable, my adorable strategist. Great work.

Gamma: *loving smile* *slightly bows* Your words fill my heart with great warmth and joy, my loving husband. But none of this wouldn't be possible without your knowledge.

Y/n: *small smile* 'Out of any of the shades, excluding epsilon and eta, gamma took my knowledge to heart, and just by looking at the products her business sell, she made them perfectly.'

*3rd pov*

Gamma: *walking down stairs* It feels so wonderful to see you again y/n, and I wanted to tell you-*trips herself*KYAAHHHH!!!

Gamma accidentally trips herself, and right before she could fall on the floor, y/n catches her in a bridal style.

Gamma opened her eyes to see her husband y/n holding her like a bride, and felt his face very close to her. Which made her form a blushing smile on her face, and was feeling giddy.

Gamma: *squeezing in joy mentally* 'It's been awhile since y/n held me like a princess. I missed this so much!' *blushing* I-I'm sorry for showing you my clumsiness again y/n.

Y/n: *chuckles a bit* Don't be gamma, I missed holding you like this, and I sometimes miss your adorable clumsy side.

Gamma immediately went atomic red, but immediately grabbed y/n's face, and imitated a deep lip lock, y/n was caught off guard a bit, but he returned the kiss with passion as well. While the other shadow garden members were gushing at the scene, two certain members were shooting jealous glares at gamma.

Nu: *jealous* 'I want to be carried like that by our master.'

While kissing her y/n, gamma took a sideway glance at her bodyguard/aide and could tell what nu was thinking with her jealous glare.

Gamma: *smiles* 'Looks like I found good member for the harem, alpha will enjoy her.'

After finishing their make out, y/n gently placed gamma on the floor, with her feets touching first, and took his seat.

Y/n: *small smile* So my lovely gamma, how have things been going with mitsugoshi.

Gamma: *bows* We have been making many connections, and we currently also have franchises in major cities in and outside of the kingdom, and we are using a mail order system to expand to remote regions *two elves rolling in a trolley of gold coins* and for the organization, we have racked up one billion zennies at our immediate disposal.

Y/n: *smile* *clapping* You and your subordinates have done an excellent job gamma, I'm proud of all of you.

Gamma and all of her subordinates smiled in pride of receiving praise from their lord cronan, and practically felt their hearts bursting in joy.

Y/n: *small smile* And while it's good that we're gaining more territory to find more on the cult and information, *stern* but there's another matter to discuss, don't you agree, gamma.

Gamma: *stern* Yes my husband, the recent night murders.

Y/n: *nodding in confirmation* Hm. Have your subordinates found any info on this killer, I've learned from ghislaine and envy that this mudrer is going around saying they belong to this poison thorn group that works for us.

Gamma: *stern* A disgusting and foolish act. *apologetic* Unfortunately my lord, but we currently only know that this pathetic fool dons the blackest of garb and goes around claiming to work with shadow garden. But we are still currently investigating the situation and finding this murder, but we have yet to apprehend them. *resolve* But I swear to you my husband we will find them, find out what they know, and end their misdeed.

Y/n: *small smile* You don't have to apologize gamma, I know you'll succeed, and anyone can make a mistake, but it's important to improve on your mistake to become better.

Gamma: *smiles loving* Truly your words hold so much warmth, my loving husband.

Y/n: *getting of chair, and walking down stairs* *small smile* While I'm still here, I need to buy some of your products, gamma.

Gamma: *smiles* It is for alexia and iris.

Y/n: *worried* Yes, but while alpha told me of her plan, I don't mean to hurt you in anyway gam-

Before y/n could finish, gamma covered his lips with hers, and quickly backed a bit from him.

Gamma: *smiles* Do not worry y/n, I am okay with them joining, and I'm interested to see who would win between alpha and alexia.

Y/n: *slightly scared* I really don't want to see what'll happen between those two.

Gamma: *softly laughs, then smiles* What products would you like to get y/n.

Y/n: *small smile* The products I would like to buy are some good fragrant female perfumes, some nice winter scarfs, a teddy bear, and some chocolate. 'Alexia has one heck of a strong sweet tooth.'

Gamma: *smile* *claps hands together* I will precure our most finest qualities. I'll even put them at a 100% discount.

Y/n: *slightly sweatdrop* That's practically free. Pretty generous of you gamma.

Gamma: *closed eye smile* I only do this for you my loving y/n, or to my sister-wives.

*1st pov*

*Night Time*

After getting two bags from gamma, I met up with skel and po who got a bag of their own, and we started walking back to the academy.

Skel: *slightly annoyed* We're lucky that it isn't close to curfew.

Po: *slightly annoyed* *looking at me* Seriously bro did you have to take that long with that survey girl.

Y/n: *calm* I can't control what happens in a conversation, but at least we all got something good, right guys.

Skel and po: True.

While walking, thanks to my heightened hearing, I then heard something somewhat close by.

*CLASH!!!*

*CLASH!!!*

*CLASH!!!*

I recognize those noises. The sound of swords clashing against each other. I then immediately activated a small time stop barrier that can't be seen or detected by anyone around skel, po, and I. While the two were freezed in time, I then used my magic to make a clone.

Y/n 2: What do you need, boss?

Y/n: *gives bags to clone* As soon as I deactivate the barrier, walk back along with skel and po to the academy, and make sure to stay in our dorm until I return.

Y/n 2: You got it, boss.

After giving my clone his orders, I suited up in my cronan attire, then I deactivated my barrier while immediately jumping onto the rooftops of the buildings and finding the source of the sword clashing.

*CLASH!!!*

I then heard it again, and looked at the direction where it came from, and I then immediately headed there quickly.

*3rd pov*

Cronan then got to where the sword clash happened, and saw alexia facing off against the killer who just killed another victim in a sword fight.

Cronan: *slightly worried* 'Alexia. Why is she here now of all places.'

Alexia: *serious* I've had enough of this. Give it up. Why are you doing this if you're part of shadow garden?

Cloaked individual: *standing back up* *trance* We are poison thorn, we work for shadow garden.

Alexia: *serious* That's all you've been saying. You're like a broken record. I highly doubt your leader would approve of you killing civilians.

Cronan then took a good view of the dark cloaked individual.

Cronan: *seeing cult emblem* *serious* 'I knew it. The cult is behind this. And this guy is just some damn puppet.'

Alexia then went for multiple sword strikes at the cloaked individual, and was able to make the individual drop his sword, and injure him a bit.

Alexia: *gets into a stance* *serious* Time to put an end to this.

Right before alexia could finish off the assailant, she then heard some footsteps, and turned to see two other dark cloaked individuals, and they were just like the assailant.

Alexia: *serious* *sees cloaked individuals* Oh. I see your friends have arrived.

One of the assailants went in to attack alexia, while she kept on the defense. The third assailant tried to do a surprise attack on her, but alexia was able to block, and evade another attack from the second one.

Alexia: *small smile mentally* 'Thanks for some of your training y/n.' *serious* You would try to do a sudden attack on a fair maiden. *grips handle tighter* *readys to attack again*

Unknowingly to alexia, the first assailant was getting back up, and was about to attack her from behind.

*STAB!!!*

Suddenly the first assailant was striked from above.

This caused alexia and the other two assailants attention and to alexia's surprise and the assailants horror witness cronan land where the now dead first assailant is with his slime sword plunged into the first assailant's corpse.

Cronan: *serious tone* *looking at the other assailants* Trying to hurt a fair princess isn't a courteous thing for a gentleman to do.

Alexia: *at awe* It's you. Cronan.

Cronan then removes his slime sword from the corpse, and walks toward alexia's side while staring at the assailants. The said assailants were feeling their blood run cold by cronan stare, and even with his mask on, the assailants can feel cronan's eyes glowing red through his mask and drilling into their skulls.

Cronan: *serious tone* So then. *twirling slime sword a bit*

*points slime sword at assailants* Ready to tango with your boss, you fake underlings.

The assailants got nervous by cronan, and felt like they would be killed trying to take them on, so they immediately ran from him, but unknowingly to them, cronan's eyes behind his mask glowed a bit, and after the glow stopped. Cronan was about to go after the two cloaked individuals until-

Alexia: *screams in pain* AAAAHHH!!!!

Cronan immediately see the first assailant who he thought he killed still alive slashed at alexia's left arm.

Cronan: *worried tone* PRINCESS!!! 'How the hell is that guy still alive? I made sure to strike his heart point blake.'

Cronan immediately slashed off the assailant's head, and immediately tended to alexia's wound.

Cronan: *neutral tone, but mentally worried* *lift wounded arm and inspects it* Do not worry princess, it might look bad , but it's not a vital wound. You'll be alright. *applies healing magic*

Alexia: *surprised* 'This magic goes beyond any master of magic power. But why does this magic feel so warm and familiar?'

Cronan: *neutral tone* *finishes healing* I finished the healing process. I stopped the bleeding, but I suggest you rest for a bit before going anywhere princess. *proceeds to walk to the beheaded corpse*

Cronan then went to see the beheaded corpse, and could sense a small amount of the same magic like zenon.

Cronan: *neutral* 'He must've had something similar to the red pills to fight even when getting an extremely fatal wound. Better make sure to inform the others.' *proceeds to walk away*

Alexia: *serious* Wait a minute.

Cronan: *stops walking, and turns head* Yes princess alexia.

Alexia: *serious* What are you trying to do? What do you use all that magic you possess for, what are you fighting for? What is your purpose?

Cronan: *serious tone* Our purpose is to eradicate the corruption of this world, as you know and saw princess from what happened with zenon. It is a sin once you have a taste of it, you'll want it more than anything for yourself even if you have to dispose of anyone to get it. Power does corrupt  and yes I do possess much of it, but I won't let myself think I'm invincible or immortal, we're all human beings with limits. However if you find a way to pass your limits, anything is possible. My no our goal is to purge the corruption so that innocent lives can live in peace. That is the purpose of shadow garden.

Alexia was in awe at cronan's speech of his and his organization's purpose.

Alexia: *serious* Tell me more about this cult you face, I need to know this enemy you face.

Cronan: *neutral tone* It is best I do not tell you much about that princess, the less you know the safer.

Alexia: *angry* I want answers! I need to know for the sake of my home kingdom, the people, and my loved ones I will protect and fight to defend.

Cronan: *neutral tone* I respect your honorable heart princess, but the cult will use anyone especially those close to you to get what they want.

Alexia: *eyes widen* 'This cult would even go after iris or even my beloved y/n.' *shivered a bit in thought*

Cronan could tell what alexia was thinking about, and decided to put her mind at ease.

Cronan: *serious* Shadow garden will stop this cult princess alexia, count on it. *jumps and goes after assailants*

After cronan left, alexia was still in awe a bit.

Alexia: *leans back against the wall, and sits down* Cronan. Just who are you really?

*on the rooftops*

*1st pov*

After knowing alexia would be safe, I immediately started jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and immediately found the other two cloaked individuals.

*3rd pov*

While the two cloaked assailants slightly lowered their guards thinking they escaped cronan, but unknowingly cronan jumped down behind them and to their position without making a noise.

Cronan: *neutral tone* So then. *immediately made assailants get their attention* Will you two come quietly or-

Second assailant: *angry* DIE!!!

Before cronan could finish, one of the assailants "tries" to land an attack on him, but before the assailant could do anything, he immediately was chopped up into pieces. While cronan looked like he expected this to happen, the last assailant was terrified. 

Cronan: *sees nu from another building* *impressed tone* Excellent kill nu. Very impressive.

Nu: *small smile* Your words honor me. But your truly brilliant lord cronan. You were able to apprehend them so quickly, and already figured out that one of them would die anyway. You're truly a master genius.

The last assailant tried to get away, but suddenly felt his body wouldn't move at all.

Third assailant: *terrified* What the hell?! I can't move!

Nu: *serious* You think I would allow you to escape worm.

I saw that nu's eyes were slightly glowing in the direction were the assailant froze

Cronan: *impressed* Gaze magic, very impressive nu.

Nu: *small blush, soft small smile* Thank you for your words lord cronan.  *looking at frozen assailant, neutral* Will you allow me to get the information out this pathetic weed lord cronan.

Cronan: *neutral tone* That won't be necessary nu, I already called in some assistance to do that.

No later than a second, two individuals wearing unique forms of their shadow garden uniforms came. The first one was scheta in her slime knight-style armor. The second one had long dark brown hair, and while wearing a shadow garden uniform, she also wore a black hat with gold outline. These two were konan and bambietta basterbine.

Cronan: *kind tone* Good to see you, scheta and bambietta.

Scheta: *small blushing smile* It's good to see you in good health lord cronan.

Bambietta: *sultry smile* Hey boss, I'm glad you're doing well~. *sees frozen assailant* *sadistic smirk* Is this the one you mentioned in your communication?

Cronan: *neutral* Yes. I need you bambietta to get any useful information out of him. *looks at scheta* Scheta I need you to form a small team and see if you can find anything cult related especially in the crater.

Scheta: *slightly bows* As you command lord cronan.

Bambietta then went close to the assailant, and grabbed him close to her in a tight grip.

Bambietta: *sadistic smirk* I'll be enjoying your screams. *cloaked man shaking in fear*

The two along with the assailant then vanished with no trace of them being there in the first place.

Cronan: *looks at nu* You go back to gamma, and inform her what happened, and go about your usual cover.

Nu: Yes lord cronan.

After nu left, cronan immediately went back to the academy.

*Next day*

After getting a train ride to the academy, we see y/n and iris sitting on a bench with alexia.

Y/n: *concern* Seriously alexia, while I deeply love you with all my heart. Your stubbornness can be quite troubling and annoying sometimes.

Iris: *concern* Our beloved does make a point alexia.

Alexia was now wearing an arm cast from her injury last night, and during that night y/n sender a message to his clone who was about to board the train to the academy, and was ordered to find alexia, which it did and aside from a frightful look from skel and po, the clone brought her safely to the academy. When iris learned what happened to her younger sister, safe to say she was distraught a bit.

Iris: *relief sigh* *smile* I'm just glad cronan was there at the scene, and was able to heal your injury for a bit. I need to make sure I thank him for this. I'm also glad that this poison thorn group you mentioned alexia had no relation with shadow garden, the organization showed genuine help and support when that monster attacked.

Alexia: *small smile* I'm sorry I worried you both, but I'll try not get dragged into trouble too much, and I'm glad as well, sister. I'm quite relieved that shadow garden are the nice guys.

Iris: *smile* Yes that is quite true. While I still don't know much about them, it eases my mind a bit, that they mean no harm. *slight stern* But this cult of diabolos is still at large.

Y/n: *concern* Just please be careful iris, I don't need to see you with injuries like a certain but lovable stubborn silver princess.

Alexia:

Alexia: *pouting cutely* I'm not that stubborn.

Y/n and iris: ...-_-...

While alexia was blushing a bit from embarrassment, y/n and iris laughed a bit, and after a little a bit alexia change the conversation.

Alexia: *smile* Though I'm still surprised you and your perverted friends went to mitsugoshi, y/n. Especially getting some chocolate. Those are high quality.

Y/n: *smile* I saved up my allowance for it a bit. *sees iris enjoy her gift* I see you're enjoying your new stuffed friend my scarlet princess.

Iris was currently holding a miniature stuffed bear that was snuggling quite well into her chest.

Iris: *smiles lovingly* *holds bear close* I love it my beloved, thank you. *kisses y/n's cheek*

*1st pov*

Y/n: *blushing smile* Anything for you and alexia, iris. *curious* 'I wonder how skel and po's operation gift giver is working.'

Skel: *scared* H-Hey buddy, can you help me out a bit?

Iris, alexia and I looked to see skel slightly in a headlock by a buff student and a girl who looked like she was upper-class and was with  the buff student eating chocolate.

Y/n: 'I can guess what happened, and safe to say it's not going to be pretty' *neutral*  I'll say this to you skel since we're bros, take your punishment like a man.

Skel: *terrified* J-j-just w-wait a minute bro, let me ex-

Buff student: *serious* Come on my friend, we still have to chat a bit.

While seeing skel dragged off for a pummeling, I wonder how po did.

Random female student: *screams* AAAAA!!! It's that guy who has been stalking me!

Po: *panicking* No. wait. Let me ex-*starts to get pummeled by other female students*

Y/n: *heard what's happening* ...-_-...'Nevermind.'

*3rd pov*

Noticing the time, iris decided it was time to get to her usual business.

Iris: *sighs a bit* While I wish to spend more time and talk to you both, I have to go. *smiles* 'But I will be getting to make more moments with alexia and my beloved with my new part-time position soon.'

Y/n: *smile* Alright. You have a good work iris and don't forget the rest of your gift my scarlet princess. *gives iris her bag*

Iris: *smiles* Thank you y/n. I'll see you and alexia back at our dorm later. *proceeds to walk away*

And with that iris left with her new stuff friend in tow to do her work, while alexia and y/n who still held onto alexia gift bag for her went to the library to study for the exam. But alexia noticed the pink hair girl that she and her sister met in their special meeting and learned that the girl's name is sherry barnett, and thought of an idea since she could tell the pink head became a maiden in love for her beloved.

Alexia: *smile* *looks at y/n* Since my left arm is still recovering a bit, can you get the books we need for the exams, y/n?

Y/n: *nods* *smiles* Of course alexia?

Alexia: *smiles* And before you go, can you give me one of the unopened chocolates boxes?

Y/n: *slightly curious* 'Alexia usually wouldn't share her sweets so easily. Wonder what she is planning.' *small smile* sure. *gives chocolate box*

After giving alexia the box of chocolate, y/n went to find the materials for his and alexia's exam. While alexia herself walked towards the extreme bookworm known as sherry.

Alexia: *smile* Hi sherry.

Sherry took notice of alexia, and noticed her arm cast.

Sherry: *concern* Princess alexia. I heard what happened, are you okay?

Alexia: *smile* I'm fine thanks to cronan's help.

Sherry: *surprise* You met with the leader of shadow garden.

Alexia: *nods* Indeed I have, and I wanted to give you this. *gives chocolate box*

Sherry: *curious while holding box* *tilts her head a bit* Ummm what's this, princess?

Alexia: *smile* It's a box of chocolate, my boyfriend y/n got some yesterday. But we already have one so he wants me to give it to you.

Sherry: *curious* Why would he do that?

Alexia: *smile* It's because he thinks you're cute and adorable.

Sherry: *blushing and stuttering* H-h-he does.

Alexia: *smile* Of course. *begins to walk away* I'll see you around sherry, and good luck with your research.

Alexia then met with her beloved who got the materials needed for their exam, while sherry casted a bit of a longing look at y/n, and then went back into her books, and one of them was about a certain star-based object that her own mother had worked on.

End.

A/N:Sorry for the wait, but I hope you ladies and gents enjoy the chapter, and special shout out to ChristianCalo22 for helping me with cronan's purpose speech. And all you ladies and gents have a grand epic day!
