Teacher : Introduce yourself.
Karna : Hello I am Karna Lanset hope we get along, Due to personal circumstances I've transferred at this point of time in the year.
Teacher : There is a empty desk at the student Ookie Kazufuru, Please sit there and ask anything you didn't understand from Kazufuru Ookie-Kun.
Karna : Yes mam I will.
The teacher started teaching and well it was pretty ordinary.
After the class were done I was surrounded by girls, They kept asking me questions that irritated me to no end.
Random classmate (girl) : Say Lanset-san do you have a girlfriend.
Karna : No I'm single.
Hearing this response many girl's mood was instantly better.
Random classmate ( girl ) : Lanset-san what are your hobbies?
Karna : Well I practice Martial arts though I'm only a beginner.
Random classmate (girl) : Lanset-san are you into boys?
Hearing this already got me a tick mark on my head.
Karna : No I'm only into girls.
After a few of this nonsenseical questions my saviour arrived in form of Natsuya Yoruhana.
Natsuya : Hello classmates may I borrow Lanset-san for a minute.
Hearing this the girls calmed down and I went with Natsuya Yoruhana to the student council room.
Karna : So I assume that this is regarding duel.
Natsuya : Yeah Okubo Yoshiaki accepted the conditions and he said that we can have the duel in the location he would decide.
Karna : So when and where?
Natsuya : It would be today night and the location would be sent to me in a few hours.
Hearing this I just smiled.
After a few minutes of normal chat I went towards the middle school section to find Shika Kagura my first Peerage member to be.
As I walked into the middle school section I quickly found out the location of Shika Kagura and saw her near a bench having lunch.
I walked over to her and she looked at me.
Karna : May I sit beside you?
Shika Kagura just noded her head, I didn't want to drag this conversation so I guess I'll go straight to the point.
Karna : I am Karna Lanset, I will be helping Natsuya Yoruhana in her duel against Okubo Yoshiaki.
Shika Kagura looked at me with Vigilance.
Karna : The duel is tonight so I would like you to stop working for him.
Shika Kagura : Fine.
Karna : That's Good and well but I have a proposal for you, Will you hear me out.
Kagura : Ok.
Karna : I will provide with a new life, You will be free from your curse and also you will gain friends and family but on condition on working for me and never betraying me.
Kagura : How can you remove my curse?
Karna : I won't be removing the curse but rather let you control it fully.
Karna : I'll explain it to you later if you accept but I doubt that there would be anyone who can help you with this so I suggest you take this up.
Kagura : Can I give my answer after today's duel.
Karna : Sure, Infact come watch me destroy that Mongrel.
Kagura : Sure.
After this I went back to the class though I was a bit late.
Teacher : Lanset-Kun you are late.
Karna : Sorry Ma'am I have a relative in middle school so I went over there to chat but I didn't pay attention to time.
Teacher : Well I'll excuse you this time but next time you will be punished.
Karna : Yes I'll keep that in mind.
I looked towards Natsuya Yoruhana who was looking at me with a questioning gaze.
I gave her a look that meant we will talk later.
The classes went on as usual and finally the classes ended.
Mika Uehara along with Chiaki Wakaba came to my desk.
Mika : Lanset-Kun are you coming back to the complex?
Karna : Sorry Miss Uehara but I have a business to attend to with President Yoruhana.
Natsuya : Right, Sorry Miss Uehara and Miss Wakaba we both have buisness to attend to today.
Saying this I walk with Natsuya Yoruhana and we both got into her car along with her other Spirit branded retainers.
Natsuya : Could I know who you were speaking to earlier during Lunch time.
Karna : I spoke to a girl named Shika Kagura who is a paid retainer of Okubo Yoshiaki who was in school to create a problem with the spell you cast.
Listening to this Natsuya Yoruhana's eyes went wide.
Karna : Don't worry though she won't be causing any trouble since I neutralised her and also don't harm her since she has the reaper's curse.
I intend to make her my Spirit branded retainer do don't lay hands on her.
Natsuya : I won't cause her any trouble if she doesn't cause trouble for me.
Karna : You can protect yourself right.
Natsuya : Of course I can.
Karna : Got it.
We Went to Natsuya Yoruhana's house and waited for the location of the duel.
The location was provided pretty quickly and we went to the location, It was a huge grass field and the Duel would soon begin.
