6 Gloves Off

The bell rang and it signaled the end class, to some on the other end it was the end of a long, slow, and painful torture session. For Takeo however it was the opposite, he thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and had a lot of insights on many things that plagued him.

Sure he head the memories of subject A-001 and that of all the people who were present in the room during the Parasite incident, however he still was a soul from the 21st century of a different world with different set of laws, rules and regulations.

Takeo was always smart, even as a child he was miles ahead of his counterparts. He was drilled by his mother and father to broaden his horizon on many subjects, which in turn earned him the nickname 'the librarian' in middle school. Still he held dearly to his old way of processing information and comparing them to what he perceive as rational, he accepted magic and the notion of it because it was ingrained in his new body both mentally and physically.

It was like learning how to drive without never taking the permit test, drivers ed, road test, heck not even the 5 hour driving course. You know what you should or shouldn't do, because somebody told you that this or that is bad and vice versa never knowing why. But after this class the fog in mind cleared up and the gears started clicking, he knew that soon the gears would be firing up on all cylinders.

As a matter of fact he already started having interesting ideas and concept on some new and original magics. He believed that in a few months he could try and tackle those magic designs that were locked away in those folders in his DNI, sighing to himself he made his way towards the front of the class with a thoughtful expression on his face. Those 'magics' were one of many files his DNI downloaded during the incident that resulted in his death.

They were the algorithms, data, and descriptions of magics, powers, and other weird stuff from many different video games, light novels, and anime's that the terrorist organization or 'The otaku army' as he started referring to them, were storing and sharing across their server. Funny enough he did look for information related to this world he was now a part of and sadly his DNI found nothing, but he did have slew of other information's some made sense and others didn't.

When he got to the door he was stopped by that Morisucky or whatever the fuck his name was again, as usual he was surrounded by his group of hired fluffers* tailing behind him. Without waiting for him to start masturbating his massive ego, Takeo said in a cold tone "Say your piece and get the fuck out of my face mongrel."

He had no patience for these type of people, and based on his behavior Takeo firmly believe that was the only sizable thing he had since his brain and manhood were probably the size of a pea. Morisaki once again started turning red out of embarrassment, but he took a deep breath right after and barely manage to control himself.

He pointed his index finger at Takeo and said in a loud voice which attracted the attention of everybody nearby, probably to give himself some encouragement. "I Morisaki Shun of the Morisaki clan hereby challenge you to a duel, if you dare accept that is" he finished his little speech with an arrogant smirk on his face, one that was mimicked by his less than impressive background dancers to put it mildly.

Without as much of twitch, Takeo replied in a matter of fact tone which caused Morisaki to nearly pop a vein, "Article 15, rule 3 and section B states that 'all magic duels must be filed through the student council for review then submitted to the teachers office for additional review and approval, the exception of the said rule is only if the request was filed by the student council member and approved by the president him/herself Any or all injuries that are a result of a duel that occurs outside of campus, are not the responsibility of First high school. Should the incident be found to have been illegal all parties involved will be expelled."

Morisaki turned purple from his anger, wanted to pull his CAD right here and right now in order to teach him a lesson. But before he could say anything a voice interrupted him. "What's with all the ruckus?, Ah Morisaki you again huh? Tell me have you already figured out the answer to what is the nature of of Systematic emission magic? Even after Shiba-san answered the question, i'm positive that you did not pay attention as you were to busy staring at her would you agree?"

His face went from purple due to anger, to red from embarrassment in a drop of a dime. Takeo had never seen a persons face change color that fast in both of his life times combined, he actually wondered if he was part chameleon. After all magicians did all sorts of crazy, weird experimentation and augmentations on themselves just to get single step in terms of edge in combat that it was sickening. After having his dirty laundry aired out by the teacher he gave Takeo a dirty look before scampering away with his cronies like somebody lit a fire up his ass.

Watching him flee like a wet dog, both Takeo and the teacher looked on in silence, but the peace was soon interrupted when the teacher said. "The quality of the magicians coming from the hundred families seems to be on decline if a wet behind the ears youngling dare act this arrogantly. Anyway please do not let this episode affect your view of how we are, as a member of the said hundred families i offer you a formal apology." The teacher turned to Takeo and stretched his hand out, to which Takeo returned and down played it saying "It's alright, there will always be one bad apple in the bunch, and unfortunately it seems like i had the unfortunate privilege of encountering one of them."

The teacher chuckled before walking away, his name was Tsuzura Kazuo he was hailed as a researching prodigy who obtained the rank of professor in the Magic University at a young age. Unfortunately he was sent to First High to earn some experience as an educator because he had a bad habit of engrossing himself in his research and thoroughly ignoring his duties as a college professor. At the height of his fame he was known to coop himself in his lab for weeks at a time and never coming out, this frustrated his superiors to no end and thus they sent him to First magic high school to shape up.

That was five years ago, and according to rumors he has not changed one bit. He has even been recorded saying that he could now "pursue his research, unfettered, and without further concerns." The Tsuzura Family has produced decades upon decades of exceptional researchers who freely exchanged research findings and remained national authorities in the field. Rumor has it that the Clan leader was pulling his hair out when it comes to his nephew Kazuo, saying that he is too single-minded and hard-headed.

After watching the retreating back of the man, Takeo made his way towards the cafeteria. When he got there he thought about looking for Leo but upon witnessing the sea of people he decided against it, and picked up a tray and had quick meal in an obscure corner of the room. Elsewhere a group of girls were having their lunches in a private room, two girls were chatting and looking at a picture on a terminal, one was reading on a mobile terminal while the other was eating with solemn and stern expression on her face.

"That's him, wow i can't believe you found him that fast Mayumi. And here i thought i was going to waste most of my lunch break flipping through hundreds of pictures to find this guy, yosh now let's go and pay him a visit right now." Mari said while punching her left fist in her right palm, like she was ready to fight somebody.Mayumi giggled at her actions before saying in a teasing tone "What already? that was fast? aren't you suppose to go on a date first? what would he think about you, when you show up and asking him to marry you?"

Mari was slacked jawed as she looked at Mayumi with her eyes popping out their sockets, on the other hand two different sound was heard at the end of the table. The girl with orange hair looked up from her mobile terminal let out a gasp of surprise, while the other solemn looking girl only sighed at their antics and continued eating her lunch.

Mayumi started laughing hysterically at their reactions, while Mari only shook her head and knocker her on the head. The girls had a very unique friendship, at first they were rivals upon entering High school but after a few weeks it turned into a fun, teasing kind of friendship. Mayumi never really had a girl her age who could not only match her beauty but also her magical talent.

Mari provided the fun and carefree environment she never had. With her she wasn't the first daughter of a clan head, nor the Saegusa princess but she was just Mayumi. "Alright you got me there, but let's get serious for a change and look at his score. He ranked second behind Shiba-san in both the overall score and in the practical exams, his score in the practical exam was 0.290 seconds while the first place Shiba-san was 0.285. The third place scored 0.495 and the fourth posted 0.510 seconds, wow in the theoretical portion he was ranked fourth." said Mari while impressed at the said boys scores.

"Yes, he is indeed talented there is no doubt about that. But i feel like he is holding back, and that he capable of a lot more. And that is what is bothering me, i mean why would someone of his caliber and abilities need to hide it for? and most importantly how was he able to trick the CAD during the entrance test in order to get a lower score?" Mayumi said while having a rarely seen serious look in her eyes.

"Maybe, who knows. But seriously we need to meet him soon, i have a bone to pick with him." Mari dismissed Mayumi's words and instantly brought the subject back to her and her problem, she could not wait to get her claws in him. though she wanted to apologize for her actions but most importantly she wanted to ask him what technique he used to floor her last time.

Mayumi's voice once again broke her from her inner monologue, but this time around it sent a smile across her lips. "Well looks like you can meet him very soon, a student just filed a request for a duel against him. The student's name is Morisaki Shun, he is also going to be one of your guys as he was recommended by the Faculty, as one of the two new members for the Public Morals Committee."

Her smile grew even bigger when she heard who he was fighting, Sure the Morisaki Families magic abilities maybe rated as pedestrian at best, but when it comes to practical situations and under special conditions, they've earned many praises thanks to their very unique skills. After all the Morisaki's Quick Draw was mainly developed in order to take down a target in a single blow without causing great harm,this helped their family's business tremendously, after all they run a protection agency that is well respected by both magicians and civilians.

"Ichinose Takeo, i will get see your real abilities soon, hope you don't disappoint me or i will not ever forgive you" Mari said out loud in an excited voice which frightened one orange haired girl, while Mayumi was laughing at A-chan reaction, she saw a look of disbelief flash across the other girl face. She could be considered Suzune's closest friend and the girl almost never acts this way, so seeing her reaction prompted to ask her a question, one that would forever change her life.

"Rin-chan what's the matter?"

"Ichinose clan... The Ichinose clan is also known as the Bloodbane"
