13 Shinobi 2

It black, pitch black. There was nothing. A skinny boy's white hair looked around. He found nothing.

In front, despite the darkness, he saw something. It was a dagger.

Voice: Find me. Fully use my powers.

Excel woke up. It was early morning.

Excel: Why the hell am I having these dreams? Damn it.

Today, the school opened after the Red Gate incident. Excel didn't wanna go to school. But what could he do?

Teacher: OK so. Welcome back, students. I hope that you had plenty of rest in your holidays. So now we will start with homeroom. But before that... Please come in.

A girl with pink hair and yellow eyes entered the room. She was carrying an umbrella.

Girl: Hello Everyone. My name is Kagura Fuyuki. It's nice to meet you all.

Boy: Kagura, why are you carrying an umbrella?

Kagura: Well you see I am sensitive to the sun.

Boy 2: I see.

Pansy: Excel isn't that girl pretty.

Excel: Whatever. Like I care.

Teacher: OK Kagura. You can sit behind Excel.

After the teacher showed Kagura her seat the boys in the room got angry.

Boy 1: That bastard. He again got a girl near him. Isn't Pansy enough.

Excel ignored them.

Kagura: Excel,  it's nice to meet you.

She sat on her seat.

Teacher: Students, since the previous dungeon exploration wasn't successful. So we will another one, a month later.

Students: What another one already?

Students: Hope this time. It may be a normal dungeon.

Students: Yeah.

The students were still upset with their previous dungeons. They didn't want to experience the previous incident again. But still, they wondered about the one in the white hoodie. And Gray.

Student: Mam. Will Gray join us?

Teacher: Yes. After the incident, the board has decided that the wheel council has to attend.

It was time for a magic class. Everyone started heading towards the arena.

Finral: Excel are you ready to lose again?

Excel: Let's see who will lose today?

Luck: Good luck. Both of you.

Excel and Finral were facing each other.

Excel: Whirlwind

Excel started by creating a powerful gust of wind. Finral fell.

Excel: Now hoe will you send it back.

Finral: I see. Aren't you smart? But...

Excel quickly heated two green projectiles.

Excel: The same trick doesn't work on me. Again.

Kagura : (mind) That Finral. I didn't notice those projectiles. They had an almost negligible amount of magic.

On the other hand...

Luck: Discharge.

A smaller explosion occurred. Luck was a really strong Lightning mage. Unlike other mages, he uses his magic to use as armor. Which gives him quick speed and heavy attack power. He can also cast some long-ranged magic like other magic. He was really a genius.

On the contrary, Luck's opponent Magna. Was a fire magic-user. But his Magic Power was pretty weak. He used fire like a ball and bat to attack. Although you can use magic however you want. But his technique was pretty lame for fire magic-user.

Unlike other elements, fire and ice mages are very popular. If they want they could burn or freeze a whole village instantly. So it was bad for fire and ice mages to limit it just to mere objects.

Finral won. It wasn't surprising to others but for Kagura.

Kagura :(mind)  What the hell?  How could he lose? One of the strongest mages was defeated by a mere level 4 Spacial Mage.

Excel was lying on the ground. Excel was defeated because Finral started teleporting the ground into a cylindrical shake and throwing at Excel. Finral names it Ground Pillar.

Magic class was over. Excel went to his classroom. Pansy always was trying to talk with Excel. She always says about random things to him.

Like these five days went. Excel was continuing to have the dagger dream once in a while. He also lost to Finral every day.

But one day.

Gray: I feel something.

Erza: What is it Gray?

Gray: Demons. There are demons in this school.

Well, today was not the only day that he experienced the presence of demons. It was five days ago.

Excel: Five days ago. Why didn't you tell us before?

Gray: I was not sure. The past few days the presence was almost negligible. But today, something is different.

Time froze.

Excel looked around. Erza, Lucy, Gray, and Natsu. Everyone became statues. It was like time stopped. And yes it did. Excel could not believe his eyes. He was the only one who was moving.

Excel: The hell is going on. Time stopped.

Excel went outside the council room. The other students were also frozen. He looks outside the window towards the ground. He sees a girl waving her hand. She was holding a red umbrella.

Excel jumped out of the window.

Excel: Who are you?

Kagura: Don't you recognize your own classmate.

Excel: Oh. Aren't you that umbrella girl? So, you did this.

Kagura: Yup. I wanted to fight you head-on. But when I see you these days. You look really pathetic.

Excel: Pathetic. You say.

Excel: I will show you the meaning of pathetic.

Excel charged towards her. But when he was about to punch her. She disappeared only the umbrella was present and it was rotating.

Kagura: I am here.

Excel looks back. Surprisingly, Kagura teleported behind him.

Kagura: Shogyo

Excel felt a force from the umbrella. It pissed him back.

Kagura suddenly appeared in front of him.

Kagura: Moyo

Excel flew towards the school building. He crashed against the wall.

But as soon as Excel opens he saw. Demons. Not one or two but thousands of them.

Kagura: Excel. Meet my demon army. What do you think?

The demons had a height of a human but they weren't human at all. The demons had the appearance of animals. They had large horns.

Excel was silent all this time.

Excel: Army. You say. You call these weak ass demons army. Pathetic. I will show you a real army.

Kagura: Army. You have an army. What the hell are you saying?

Excel: Summon.

From the ground arose figures of shadow. It was definitely an army. It has about 200 soldiers, 5 mages, 3 bears, and 50 orcs. But all of them were surrounded by shadow. Well, it was an army but every army needs a few generals.

Excel: Arise Igiris, Tusk Tank

Four new figures emerged. A knight, a bear, and a large orc.

Excel So, what do you think?

Kagura : (mind) What is this An army a shadow army. Hayabusa was right.

Excel Damn it. I don't have a dagger.

He looks around and he finds a shard of glass. He picks it up and wraps his handkerchief around the base to make a temporary dagger.

Excel Now I am ready.
