Chapter 255 ( Dragons Rioting - II )

"What do you want to ask me?" - Cloud answered with surprise and confusion.

"Does the [Royal Seal] have it you?" - asked Rhino neutrally while Rintarō and Ayane's eyes widened in surprise because they never thought of such a situation.

"No" - answered Cloud while shaking his head - "That seal has not passed through my hands."

". . ." - Rino frowned because it didn't look like he was lying, although what happened next left her speechless.

"Right, I forgot to pass you the [Royal Seal]!" - Shizuka exclaimed as she pulled out the aforementioned Seal from between her huge breasts and handed it to the blonde boy.

"It's in my possession now," Cloud replied as he shrugged his shoulders. If he was honest, he had no idea that Shizuka had gotten this Seal.

". . ." - Rino was silent as she watched the blonde nurse closely.

"Kakaka~!" - Kyōka couldn't resist it anymore and let out a laugh at how strange the situation was. She knew that the Seal was one way or another in her boyfriend's hands, but she never thought that it was actually in Shizuka's hands, rather than her having forgotten to hand it over to her leader and boyfriend.

"How?" - Rintarō asked because he had been the last to be aware of the small dragon-shaped seal.

"It was when you were running away" - replied Shizuka calmly - "Shizuka stole it from you when you got careless."

"It was at that moment!" - Rintarō exclaimed as he remembered what seemed to be a random breeze.

"Mou!I didn't steal it because stealing is wrong!" - Shizuka exclaimed with a frown as she puffed out her cheeks.

"In fact, she took it from you fair and square" - Kyōka replied while shrugging - "The rules are simple, you just have to have possession of the seal!"

"You see? I didn't steal anything" - Shizuka said proudly as the others rolled their eyes at her, well, everyone but Rintarō who still couldn't believe how it was stolen so easily.

"Hand it over" - Rino said neutrally as he looked at the seal.

"I'm sorry, but I don't plan to" - Cloud replied calmly while taking [Incursio] and blocking the sophomore girl's attack - "I recommend you to relax a bit, I might even tell you to consider getting a boyfriend to calm down..."

". . ." - Rino frowned even more when she heard these words because it was obvious that they were annoying her - "You can keep that thing, but I'm going to claim it when I defeat you."

"I'm sorry, but if anyone is going to defeat it, it's going to be me" - Kyōka replied while looking at the blonde.

"I think you're wrong, Kyōka-san because I'll be the one to defeat sensei" - said Ayane as lightning bolts jumped from the eyes of the three girls.

Rintarō for his part just kept silent as he watched everything unfold, though inside again he was sure that his thoughts were right - "I think it's better that I fight alongside Meru-san and Ren-san."

"I wonder if they will 'kill' each other before fighting against me" - Cloud said with amusement as he shook his head - "Ok, that's enough, you can discuss another time, now I want you to go get ready because it's only a short time before the [Dragons Rioting] starts and my girls are also excited to see how much they have improved."

Isami just looked neutrally at Rino because she felt that she would be the optimal opponent for her.

Rena grinned wildly towards Kyōka as she gripped her hammer firmly.

Asuna thundered her knuckles as she looked at Ayane because for quite some time now she wanted to fight the redhead because she sincerely didn't want her to get close to their leader.

Chifuyu for her part just silently watched Rintarō because from the beginning she felt that the boy would have the potential to give her a good battle.

"I think I'm being left out of all this" - Ema said while shaking her head.

"I'm sure Meru-san will be a good match for you, Ema" - said Cloud while looking at the girl from the United States.

"If that's what you say, my Best Friend" - Ema replied as she shrugged her shoulders.

"And what do I do?" - Shizuka asked in confusion as she looked at her blonde partner.

"Do you think you can handle the other minions?" - Cloud asked as he looked at the nurse - "If you want, Erin can help you."

"Hmm... Okay!" - Shizuka nodded excitedly - "Okay, I'm going to do it!Yoshhhhhhhhh~!"

"Hmm... now I really feel like a Final Boss..." - Cloud thought as he shook his head to shake those strange thoughts away.

"I guess the opponents have already been chosen," said Meru after hearing what Rintarō had informed them after returning to their base of operation. He was sure that the others were also doing the same, informing their subordinates about how things would be.

"Do you really think things will go on as planned?" - Ren asked while looking at her friend and their leader.

"Normally I would say no, but seeing the expressions of Ayane and the others, I'm not so sure now" - said Rintarō while shaking his head - "Kyōka-san said she accepted the challenge, Ayane also seemed excited to fight against Asuna-san, and Rino didn't say anything, but from her look you could tell how furious she was, so I'm almost sure she will also accept."

Ren was silent when she heard. She really wanted to go to her sister to talk to her, but after their last conversation, she wasn't so sure that everything was okay.

"What are you going to do, Rintarō-kun?" - Meru asked as she swung her legs.

"I'll agree to fight Chifuyu-san" - said Rintarō while clenching his fists tightly - "I won't back down from a challenge, at least not anymore."

"That's good to hear" - nodded Meru upon hearing the boy's words - "Ok, I'm going to follow your example and fight against that Ema girl... I just hope it's worth the fight."

"I guess I'll take on Cloud Strife..." - Ren said seriously as she felt her Ki growing - "Just what I wished for."

* * * * *

"Are you sure about this, Rino-sama?" - Shū asked as she watched her leader.

"Indeed, I am sure" - Rino said seriously as she looked at her subordinates - "I don't want them to get in the middle of my fight, my pride as a dragon is at stake."

The others looked at each other and nodded at their leader's words.

"Ok, let's move on to the second phase of the plan" - Rino said while nodding firmly - "While I fight against that girl Isami, you guys will attack the others, when you see that they are all out of combat we will launch ourselves against Cloud Strife."

Shū began to doubt the plan when she heard this because of all those present, she was the one who knew the most about the blond, and from what she had managed to see, things would end badly if they attacked him with numbers.

"Is there something wrong with my decision, Shū?" - Rino asked as she raised an eyebrow.

"No... your wish is my command, Rino-sama" - Shū replied immediately.

". . ." - Rino looked at her for a few seconds before nodding.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Kyōka-sama" - Kako said while shaking her head.

"Are you doubting me, Kako?" - Kyōka asked with a frown as she saw her subordinate's reaction.

"No, it's not that, Kyōka-sama!" - Kako exclaimed as she tried to better express what she was trying to say.

"Relax, I'm just joking" - said Kyōka as she let out a laugh when she saw the eye patch girl's expression - "You should have seen your face, it was so hilarious!"

Chiyoko also smiled when she heard Kyōka talking, although inside she knew that her leader was a bit annoyed by her subordinate's attitude, so she decided to lend her a hand - "Kako, while Kyōka was joking, you better remember that we are to follow our leader's orders, so for the next one you better calm down"

"I know, it's just that I want to give victory to Kyōka-sama" - Kako muttered while ducking her gaze.

"I honestly don't care about victory, Kako" - replied Kyōka while shaking his head - "What I wish for is a good battle, one that will make my heart pound, one that will stay in my mind even until the day I die, so you don't have to worry about me."

". . ." - Kako was silent for a few seconds before apologizing again to her leader, who was now not so upset after hearing her subordinate's words, after all, she was aware of the extent of Kako's loyalty.

* * * * *

"I think we'd better attack with everything, Ayane Nee" - Iori said seriously while looking at her leader.

"Hmm... I don't normally approve of this, but I agree with her" - nodded Shiryū as he looked at Ayane - "If we want victory, then we have to go all out."

". . ." - Makoto just kept silent as she closed her eyes. She was waiting for her leader's decision so she could follow her.

"I'm sorry, but I've already decided" - Ayane replied as she looked at her subordinates - "I'm not backing down from this duel against Asuna-san... not when the stakes are so high."

Iori and Shiryū were silent for a few seconds before nodding.

"If that's what you wish, I will follow your orders" - Iori replied as Shiryū approved of his words.

"Ok, it's time for us to make the final preparations" - Ayane said seriously as the others nodded firmly.
