*Ken pov*

I hate princesses. Whoever wrote those princess stories that made billions like Cinderella, I need to stab repeatedly. No wonder Link locked her away here.

Months with no one other than the old king, the bitchy Disney reject, and Asia have been hell. The old man was good on his word though. Along with training us, the others on the outside appeared. Oddly enough Irina somehow angered Zelda as well. No idea why. They met and shook hands, then the princess yelled out in frustration and hated Irina ever since. Zelda seemed to get along with everyone else but me and Irina she hated for some reason...

Zelda reluctantly taught Koneko and Asia how to use nature energy and radiant energy respectively. Koneko was learning how to use senjutsu to augment her strength beyond what her ex-master had her achieve. Asia learned more healing techniques and an elven technique known as radiant archery, using the power of light to forge a bow and arrow of pure light, though unlike the light spears the angels, both pure and fallen, use, the now wasn't holy, so it could be effective against anyone.

Angels would tell you that all light is holy and would teach people as such. Because holy magic is the angels' forte, they basically monopolize light and make themselves immune. Light isn't inherently holy, just as dark isn't inherently evil.

Consider the sword the old bastard king is using to beat combat experience into me. Before I would use a blade to protect even my brother, Issei. Protecting someone is considered good right? But right now as the old jackass slams a wooden blade into my ribs hard enough for me to cough up blood, I REALLY want to shove my blade down his gullet.

Another strange thing happened over the months, namely Irina Shidou now hates the church. Not the ideals of it, but the people in charge. She still believes in generosity, forgiveness, and being a good person and all that, but ever since she realized she had a sacred gear and the church not only sealed it up, poorly at that, but they were going to suggest heaven "angelize" her to take it away. Basically putting her into a servitude contract like the devils but slightly worse.

She would be an angel. Her dream before she sat down and thought it through. Angels are down right fanatical with their righteous war against sin. That includes lust, i.e. Love, greed and pride, basic human traits, and the list goes on of what you cannot do as an angel. The price for breaking these laws? Same for the devils in a way but with the added humiliation and disgrace of falling. The angels will hunt you down like a stray devil.

That is why the angels have the most public presence in the form of the church. The times an angel can fight are rare, mostly relying on self defense, so they rely on humans to do what they need done. Not saying the church is completely bad, they do good things and spread ideals worth sharing, but they also act as the angels enforcers especially in some of their exorcists.

Anyway when Irina awoken her new blade, she was ecstatic. She was raised to swing a sword around in the name of God, so even though she no longer follows the church, why abandon what they taught her?

Could be a unseen longeinus as she swears the thing talks to her and tells her to skewer me. Ain't I popular? Everyone seems to want to either enslave or murder me. I thought I was the lovable Hyoudou? Wasn't Issei the one who everyone hates for being a pervert that once tried to break in to the girls locker room before school started to hide in an abandoned locker to see "dem titties"?

Oh wait he has a dragon in his arm. Well nevermind then let's give him a harem and use the elf as cannon fodder! Man I hate devils...

Irina: Quit spacing out Ken we're supposed to be training!

Ken: Don't mind me, just attack. I can handle it.

She growls and lunged only for her blade to be deflected off my shield in a shower of sparks. I'm so glad this thing is almost indestructible. Can't imagine having to find a new one after only a few uses. Sounds like a pain in the ass.

Irina: Why aren't you attacking?!

Ken: Because I just went 20 rounds with reject Santa Claus, and I need a break. Then you attacked me and I can't bring up the effort to be aggressive. Plus your cute when your angry Irina.

Irina: *blushes* Wha?!

I then quickly slam my shield into her blade, sending it flying out of her hands. Then I sweeper her legs out from under her while pinning her with the top of the master sword at her throat.

She states wide eyed at me for a few seconds, then angrily yelled that I cheated and that didn't count.

Then a tiny fist impacted with my face and sent me flying into the bushes.

Zelda: Nice airtime Ko. You really sent that jerk far.

Koneko: ...You said he'd dodge it. I didn't want to hurt him.

Zelda: Oh I'm well aware you didn't want to injure that womanizer. That's why I lied. The moron needs training right?

Ken: ...Time to beat a bitch...

Zelda: WHAT DID YOU CALL M-

Smack

I threw my shield perfectly and got the Cinderella wannabe right in the nose laying her out flat. Captain America would be so proud of me. Or would he be pissed about hitting a woman? Eh gender equality. Equal rights equal beatings and all that. Plus she is a bitch...

She got up and glared at me with a big bloody red nose and used her light magic to flash forge a rapier.

Ken: Bring it Rudolf the red nosed Bitch.

*3rd pov*

Asia: Why does it always end up like this?

The girls, except Zelda, and the king are watching a cartoonish cloud formed from the melee between the last hopes of the elves.

Rhoam: Well at least it keeps them busy.

Akua: W-why do they not get along?

Rhoam: Zelda probably has a crush on him. She only gets like this when she can't figure things out and she's bad with emotions like love. Otherwise she's the textbook definition of an ice queen. As for Ken, he's just too stubborn to back down...

Irina: So what do we do?

Rhoam: Well we finish training. The author never expected this story to be popular and now he has to finish up the training montage so we can get Ken into the surface world again.

Koneko then kicked Rhoam in the nuts.

Koneko: ...don't break the fourth wall idiot...
