&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==The Wolf, the Cat and the Knight==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yare, Yare. I have suffered quite a lot since coming here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One hour had passed since then.  Slowly rubbing the pain away from his&lt;br /&gt;
back, Kamito walked in the court yard of the academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although he had not been turned into cinders receiving a hit from that&lt;br /&gt;
flame whip; maybe Claire had hold back some of her power, still it&lt;br /&gt;
didn&#039;t change the fact that it was quite painful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire must be harshly admonished by Madam Freya in the punish room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having eluded those female classmates who has enthusiastic pursued&lt;br /&gt;
him, Kamito finally obtained a moment of peace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike other students, he had no class for the afternoon. After&lt;br /&gt;
all, he had entered the school just now and had not registered for the&lt;br /&gt;
courses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Areishiya spirit academy operates on a credit system in which the&lt;br /&gt;
students can freely choose their preferred courses so long as they&lt;br /&gt;
meets the requirements. Because of enormous diversity of the&lt;br /&gt;
contracted spirits of the students, a uniform curriculum will not be&lt;br /&gt;
able to fully develop the potential of each himemiko.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;For the time being, I&#039;ll make some preparations for the school life starting&lt;br /&gt;
from tomorrow. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito finally came to his specially prepared dormitory, a hut&lt;br /&gt;
erected on the side of the stable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its appearance now looked worse than the time seen from the window. On&lt;br /&gt;
top of that, it had the smell of cattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door opened with a squeak. Kamito stepped in timidly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hmm, surprisingly, not too bad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito expressed his impression. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First of all, the bed was clean. Looking from the inside, the room&lt;br /&gt;
itself was spacious. Straw bed, table, chair, cabinet and other&lt;br /&gt;
furnitures were prepared after all. Cooking utensils were present as&lt;br /&gt;
well. Anyhow there wouldn&#039;t be much trouble to liver here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito immediately lay down on the straw bed, although it prickled the&lt;br /&gt;
back a bit, the smell of sun dried straws were good for comfortable&lt;br /&gt;
sleeps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh, well, no matter how to look at it, I need to endure it for two months&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lying still on the bed , Kamito fixed his eyes on the left hand&lt;br /&gt;
covered by black leather glove.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two months from now, the spirit blade dance would be held in the&lt;br /&gt;
elemental spirit realm Astral Zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before that, he must find four more teammates in order to enter the contest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was not clear what Greywhorth will have him to do. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there was something he must check with his own eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A name that was deeply tied to the fate of himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participating in the contest of the spirit blade dance festival 3&lt;br /&gt;
years ago, Unmatchable Blade Dancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That accompanying her was a spirit of darkness that took the form a human girl. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who on earth were they?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ren Ashubel shouldn&#039;t exist in this world anymore. &lt;br /&gt;
Besides Greyworth, only very small number of people were aware of this. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though one was just an impostor who gained the title of&lt;br /&gt;
unmatchable blade-dancer by fraud, it couldn&#039;t be for this reason that&lt;br /&gt;
the witch had made all the trouble to summon him here.  Greyworth must&lt;br /&gt;
be holding a huge secret.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what, to find out the truth, the only way was to cross blades&lt;br /&gt;
directly in the spirit blade dance festival in two months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But, in your current state, you won&#039;t be able to defeat her. &amp;quot; said&lt;br /&gt;
Greyworth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That most likely to be true. The witch was not lying. But surely she was&lt;br /&gt;
not telling the truth either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, it all come down to &amp;quot;the current state&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in merely two month, he had to regain what was lost in the past&lt;br /&gt;
three years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
....Guu, suddenly his stomach growled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Feeling exhausted, Kamito lowered his arm that was raised toward the&lt;br /&gt;
roof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all, he had not had anything since wondering into the spirit&lt;br /&gt;
forest this morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, he decided to endure the the empty stomach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reason was that he was out of money. Although there were restaurants&lt;br /&gt;
for the students in the academy, the price was surprisingly high. This&lt;br /&gt;
had already passed the level of a shool for high class ladies, but a&lt;br /&gt;
school for princesses indeed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What&#039;s the point of one cup of soup being as expensive as normal folk&#039;s salary?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It can&#039;t be helped. Maybe I&#039;ll ask Ellis to show me around in the&lt;br /&gt;
academic city tomorrow. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One should be able to find cheaper and delicious restaurants in the&lt;br /&gt;
academy city at the foot of the hill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the cooking utensils, he could also just buy the material and cook&lt;br /&gt;
it on his own. For the fire all he needs to do was to go the spirit&lt;br /&gt;
forest and catch some low level fire spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Bacon and mushroom pasta sounds really good...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He got more hungry by thinking about food. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;should I go to the spirit forest and collect some mushrooms now?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As he started to seriously entertain that thought, from somewhere, the&lt;br /&gt;
smell of delicious soup flowed in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;....hmm?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frowning, Kamito got up from the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed the smell was coming in from the gap of half open door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twitching his nose to inhale the smell, Kamito opened the door...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In front of him was a bowl of soup that gave off white steams. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Filled with a lot of onions and chicken with bones, the soup looked delicious. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... am I imagining things, or is this the kindness from heaven for my unending misfortune?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drawing a blank because of the hunger, Kamito reached out with his hands&lt;br /&gt;
toward the bowl without any suspicion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suddenly the bowl rose up a bit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He stretched out his hand again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once again the bowl was raised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then in front of the Kamito was the face of that princess with platinum&lt;br /&gt;
blond hair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her name should be Rinslet Laurenfrost if he remembered correctly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Behind her, the girl Carol in maid dresses stood courteously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What&#039;s the meaning of this?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito asked with half opened eye. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Fuu, you must be hungry, right? Kamito Kazehaya?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yeah.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito noded honestly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Bark woof, and then swear that you will be my slave, I&#039;ll let you&lt;br /&gt;
have this bowl of soup.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet held the bowl still, and turned her large chest sideways. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I refuse. Bye Bye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bang. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ahh, wait, wait a second. Listen to what I say, you insolent. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bang! Bang! Door was kicked repeatly . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be trouble if she breaks it. Kamito opened the door again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What&#039;s that? You are going to let me have soup now?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Right away if you lick my foot ... Ahh, why are you closing the door again!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet quickly stuck her foot in the gap of the door, like a veteran&lt;br /&gt;
debt collector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ouch! That hurts!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looked painful... What the hell was she here for anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Are you alright, my lady?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Worried about Rinslet, the Maid Carol asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito had no choice but to open the door, Rinslet glared at him with&lt;br /&gt;
tears in her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;How can you be such an insolent guy after I offered my hands with&lt;br /&gt;
kindness to you? &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No, you... hands with kindness?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appeared that she was serious. Slowly Kamito&#039;s head starts aching. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sheesh, all the princesses of this academy are so troublesome. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito complained inside his mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having gotten a glimpse of the inside of the hut, the face of Rinslet&lt;br /&gt;
started to twitch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah, you, why are you living inside a stable?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The stable is next door. This is my dormitory. Home is where you make&lt;br /&gt;
it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Stop looking at me with such pity. It makes me feel sad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her face looked like that she was seriously concerned about it. Kamito&#039;s&lt;br /&gt;
attitude softened a little bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Rather than living in a condition like this, you should come to my&lt;br /&gt;
house. I&#039;ll specially hire you as a servant.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah, my lady, I believe he will look great if we dress him as a&lt;br /&gt;
maid. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carol showed her support with a big smile. This girl was troublesome as well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, after all, it looked like that Rinslet was genuinely worried about&lt;br /&gt;
the circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Your sympathy is appreciated, but I don&#039;t plan to throw away my&lt;br /&gt;
pride.&amp;quot; Kamito shook his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Displeased, Rinslet perked up her lips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;So you don&#039;t like to become my servant?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;That&#039;s right. There is no use to try to placate me. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;So full of yourself, even though you wag your tails at Claire Rouge. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;When did I wag my tail at that girl?&amp;quot; Kamito grumbled with half open&lt;br /&gt;
eye.  Well, many people might think the same---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could it be that this princess try to get close to Kamito mainly out&lt;br /&gt;
of her rivalry with Claire?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yareyare, such an unexpected annoyance.&amp;quot; Kamito let out a heavy sigh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I got it. That&#039;s fine with me if that&#039;s how you wants it.&amp;quot;  Rinslet&lt;br /&gt;
cleared her throat, and placed the bowl on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;hmm?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I&#039;ll leave the soup here. From the very beginning it was because&lt;br /&gt;
Carol cooked too much of it and it will be a shame to waste the left&lt;br /&gt;
overs. You should be grateful to my benevolence. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Eh?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(This young lady, by any chance----)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:STnBD V01 113.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet turned around elegantly and was about to leave. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ahh, Wait, Rinslet!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito suddenly called out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet winced and stopped in her steps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Wh-what is that? Suddenly calling other people&#039;s first name---&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I can&#039;t be your servant, but we can be friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Eh?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet&#039;s emerald green eyes open wide. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thank you for being worried and coming to see me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Wh-wha, you, you insolent.  Of, of course that&#039;s not true.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet suddenly blushed and turned her face away. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Fufu, my lady is so...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carol covered her mouth and giggles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just at this time -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Rinslet Laurenfrost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A voice with which Kamito had gotten familiar suddenly passes into the his ears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire walked towards here, her red pigtails swaying .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appeared that Madam Freya admonishing session was finally over.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Don&#039;t feed my contract spirits without permission, you thieving dog.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You ... whom are you calling a thieving dog!? &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here we go again, Kamito let out a tired sigh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What&#039;s that? Isn&#039;t your family crest a dog? &amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You - Laurenfrost&#039;s family crest is a proud White Wolf!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;White Wolf? Changing it into a Chihuahua fits you better.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Provoked by Claire&#039;s words---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Claire Rouge ... you really got my dander up. &amp;quot; Rinslet said with&lt;br /&gt;
suppress voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a flash, a fog-like chill hung around them. The temperature dropped&lt;br /&gt;
dramatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Wait, you can&#039;t be calling your spirit -&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito hastily calls out, but it was too late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cold wind swirled. Rinslet&#039;s hair flied up, rippling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh freezing beast with Ice-teeth, &lt;br /&gt;
merciless hunter of the forest, &lt;br /&gt;
Now is the time to abide the contract of blood,&lt;br /&gt;
hasten to my side as commanded!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Rinslet finished the incantation in the spirit language, a gust&lt;br /&gt;
of ice storm engulfed all surrounding.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amid the roaring and swirling blizzard, a figure appeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A beautiful wolf, with a coat of silver white fur. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its body exuded a freezing chill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This is ...&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is the contract spirit of my lady, Fenrir.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Carol said with a smile.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The imposing aura that White Wolf carried, was definitely incomparable&lt;br /&gt;
by a low level spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the ranking of the spirits, the White Wolf was unmistakably higher&lt;br /&gt;
than mid-level. To have made contracts with spirits of this level,&lt;br /&gt;
this young lady is definitely not your ordinary person. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well, your dog is still the same, with its coat color barely&lt;br /&gt;
meritable.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire shook her pigtails in disdain.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You... you called it a dog again, You flat chest!  I absolutely will&lt;br /&gt;
not forgive your insult to the family of Laurenfrost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Covered with the chilling air, the White Wolf roared, and dashed toward&lt;br /&gt;
Claire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Whom are you calling flat chest! Come, Scarlet!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire lashed at the ground with her whip.  A scorching hell cat&lt;br /&gt;
immediately appeared from the twirling rising flames.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appeared that Claire had long conjured up her spirit already.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;-Hey you two! No fighting with your spirit here!&amp;quot;  Kamito cried out.&lt;br /&gt;
The horses in the stables neighed in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I will not forgive you to put your hand on my slave. I&#039;ll end it here&lt;br /&gt;
today, you thieving dog.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I&#039;ll surely steal your servant and make him mine!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sparks burst out between the two girls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one only listened to these lines, it sounded like two woman in love&lt;br /&gt;
fighting over a man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The two ladies look like lovers fighting over a man!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Carol, you don&#039;t have to say that.&amp;quot; Kamito looked at the maid standing&lt;br /&gt;
next to him with squinted eyes . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;By the way, is really OK to not stop them?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Right. They have always been like this.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These two girls have always been behaving like this to each other&lt;br /&gt;
...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yes, the relation between the two ladies is very good.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Is this the irony?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito grumbled with a sigh.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You have always been an eyesore, Claire Rouge!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You are the same, Rinslet!  Why do you have to always cause me&lt;br /&gt;
trouble!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Magic ice spirit Fenrir--- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flame spirit Scarlet--- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two spirits suddenly jumped up in the air and clashed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ice and Fire collided, sending storm bursting around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the point of view of Kamito, the levels of the two spirit were&lt;br /&gt;
almost the same.  But it seems that Claire had an advantage in the&lt;br /&gt;
skill of mastering the spirits. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the flame spirit in her command was apparently quite spent out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Because she was beaten up by the sword spirit a few hours ago---) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Receiving such a large amount of damage, she couldn&#039;t possibly have&lt;br /&gt;
recovered by taking a short break. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito observed the fighting of the two spirits. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Eh? What?...... a burning smell?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito frowned and looked around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the sight came into his eyes, his expression suddenly freezed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was Burning.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito&#039;s hut was burned fiercely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straws that stocked next to his hut had caught the sparks of the&lt;br /&gt;
flame spirit and started burning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah, my home!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing the cries of Kamito, Claire quickly turned toward here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Rinslet! Pause! We got fire!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is no use to distract me ... Huh? It is really burning!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hut fire burned more and more violent. Sooner or later the stables&lt;br /&gt;
would catch fire too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;My home---&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Calm down. Fire of this scale, I&#039;ll put it out in no time - Fenrir!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet cried out, the white wolf of magic ice instantly came back to&lt;br /&gt;
her side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as one thought that the white wolf suddenly disappeared in the&lt;br /&gt;
air, in Rinslet&#039;s hands a huge &amp;lt;ice Longbow&amp;gt; appeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Elemental Waffe(weapon)&amp;quot; the second purified form of the spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh freezing teeth of ice, pierce your target!  &amp;lt;freezing arrow&amp;gt;!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet pulled up an ice arrow and shoot. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The arrows turned into countless ice pieces and pour down, the burning&lt;br /&gt;
flame was instantly extinguished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well, with me here it is a piece of cake!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet stroked her long platinum blond hair and puffed out her chest&lt;br /&gt;
proudly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;......&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito stood motionlessly with the dumbfound stare. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hut was smashed into pieces by pouring down ice arrows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Kohon&amp;quot;, Rinslet let out a dry cough.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... Seems that I went a bit too far.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This is not called a bit. Do you have any control of your power?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You ... shut up! From the very beginning it was you who lit it up!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring the stunned Kamito, those two engaged in arguments again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this time - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What are you doing!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The footsteps of several people running from the middle court could be heard. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of them was the ponytail girl in a silver breastplate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis Fahrengart, the commander of the Knight brigade Sylpheed who was&lt;br /&gt;
in charge of up-keeping the discipline of the academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Behind her there were two girls in the same dress.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire sucked her tongue, and Rinslet also didn&#039;t bother to hide her&lt;br /&gt;
face of displeasure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is prohibited to fight for private matter in school ... What!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hastily running steps suddenly stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her eyes widened, looking dazed at pile of rubble that was Kamito&#039;s&lt;br /&gt;
home. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black smokes slowly rose from the charred rubble.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This is ...... What on earth is this?!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis questioned Kamito, her voice charged with fury. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She drew the sword that hangs at her waist, pointing to the throat of&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You, you hate the house that I made! Is that it? Is this your protest?!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No ... there is absolutely no such thing!  This is because - &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito quickly explained.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It was this stupid dog who blow it up to dust.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Before that, this pitiful chest lit it on fire!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heard the voices from behind, Alice turned around.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire and Rinslet, pointed their fingers at each other in accusation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... That&#039;s how it was. It was your work, just like always.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis sighed with an expression that says &amp;quot;I understood&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Knight commander, your greeting is more enthusiastic that the usual.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is the usual greeting, isn&#039;t it? Problematic students of the&lt;br /&gt;
raven class?&amp;quot;  Alice looked sharply at Rinslet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon, the the girls from the Knight brigade who were following Ellis&lt;br /&gt;
finally caught up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A girl with tea colored hair tied in braids, and another girl with&lt;br /&gt;
black hair in a tomboy style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as they see Claire and Rinslet, the two girls put on&lt;br /&gt;
expressions like they have bitten some bitter worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... Hell cat Claire!  And Ice Wolf Rinslet!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What did they do again this time, these guys from the lowly raven&lt;br /&gt;
class?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the eyes of the girls plainly floated a contemptuous look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... What did you say?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What did you utter just now?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire and Rinslet glared at the two girls at the same time.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the girls completely ignored them focus their eyes Kamito. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Are you that newly transferred male Seirei-Tsukai?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh, not bad. Very handsome.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl with braids looked at Kamito up and down like evaluating his price. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl&#039;s sight made Kamito to shrink away in discomfort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Wait, this guy is my slave spirit that I caught!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I tamed Kamito Kazahaya: he is my servant!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire and Rinslet declared arbitrarily of their ownership of Kamito&lt;br /&gt;
at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The knight girl with braids snuffs with disdain, said: &amp;quot;Alas, because&lt;br /&gt;
nobody wants to form a team with you, you use your sex appeals to&lt;br /&gt;
seduce the transfer student. Such a fitting style for a countryside&lt;br /&gt;
noble.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You dare to call me a countryside noble!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet&#039;s face suddenly turns livid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appears that the girl stepped on the mines should not be stepped on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sure I did. Laurenfrost family has a only big-name only, it&#039;s really&lt;br /&gt;
just a country bumpkin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You ... you ... you ...!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;My, My lady. Please calm down -&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Fu, fufu, fu, ... Carol, I am quite calm. &amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet revealed a bright smile ... although she tries to be lady like,&lt;br /&gt;
her face is still quite scary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another girl knight turned to Claire, and scorned: &amp;quot;As for Claire&lt;br /&gt;
Rouge, although she is a noble, but isn&#039;t she the sister of the a&lt;br /&gt;
traitor? Really, why did the academy accepts this person for admission---&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that instant, Claire suddenly lashed at the ground with the whip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;- shut up. Or I&#039;ll make you into charcoal cinders.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire snarled with suppressed voice, her voice trembling, her red eyes&lt;br /&gt;
quietly burning with anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(... Claire is the sister of a traitor?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito frowned.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(... what on earth is the meaning of this?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two girls felt the sudden change of atmosphere and fell silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You went too far.&amp;quot;  Ellis chided the two, then turned to Claire.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She cleared her throat and said: &amp;quot;In short, I will report this instant&lt;br /&gt;
to the knight headquarters. The charge will be to use spirit to start a&lt;br /&gt;
small fire and and cause property damage. We&#039;ll notice you the&lt;br /&gt;
specifics of the punishment in time. Please refrain from such stupid&lt;br /&gt;
things again.  We are busy, you know?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Let&#039;s go.&amp;quot; Alice said and was about to lead the other two away.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, from behind came a voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hold on! Ellis Fahrengart, are you trying to run away?&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis stopped, turned back to Claire who called out her. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What did you say just now?&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calm tone of voice was full of anger. Alice&#039;s hand was on the hilt&lt;br /&gt;
of the sword at her waist. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh, you heard it?  I did not expect the Sylpheed Knights were cowards.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Claire Rouge, Do you think I&#039;ll just let it go if someone insults the Sylpheed knights?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alice unsheathe her sword. The other two drew their sword at the same&lt;br /&gt;
time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I&#039;ll return that line intact back to you. You may insult me as you&lt;br /&gt;
please, but I will not forgive anyone who insults my sister.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire stroke the ground with her whip.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I request a dual, Ellis Fahrengart, with the other two as well.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Let me join as well, Claire Rouge.  It is the Laurenfrost family&#039;s&lt;br /&gt;
injunction to take revenge at those dare to smear the family name of&lt;br /&gt;
Laurenfrost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet ruffled her hair, and showed an undaunted smile.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point Alice pointed the tip of her sword toward these two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well, it will stain the name of the Sylpheed Knights if we are&lt;br /&gt;
accused of running away. I will accept the request.  I&lt;br /&gt;
can&#039;t stand the mess of your raven class any longer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hey, isn&#039;t it prohibited to fight for private matters? &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At such a precarious intense moment, Kamito instinctively spoke out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is forbidden to fight for private matters within school&lt;br /&gt;
ground. Anyway, I have no intention to do it here. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What do you mean?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring Kamito who was tilting his head, Ellis turned to Claire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The time will be 2am tonight, in front of the &amp;lt;door&amp;gt;. I&#039;ll leave it&lt;br /&gt;
to you to decide the format.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...One-on-one is too much trouble. How about we fight as teams of three.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;That will do.&amp;quot;  Alice nodded and put away the sword, then turned around&lt;br /&gt;
and left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire glared at the back of the knights and cursed viciously:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well I will let you regret this, especially that short haired girl. &lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll definitely give her a sound beating!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Such a good opportunity. I have disliked the bunch from the Knight&lt;br /&gt;
brigade since long ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Rinslet, Try not to be a burden.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;After destroying the hut, now you are on a duel. Please take mercy on&lt;br /&gt;
me.&amp;quot;  Kamito sighed deeply. Then he suddenly he realized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battle as a team of three. So, who will be the third person?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;As it turns out, -&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire placed one hand on her waist, and pointed a finger at Kamito. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;it is time to show us your strength, my slave spirit! &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ahhh... I knew this is how it would be...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In front of rubble heap that was his former home , Kamito reluctantly&lt;br /&gt;
dropped his shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt; end of chapter 4  &amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==The Wolf, the Cat and the Knight==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yare, Yare. I have suffered quite a lot since coming here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One hour had passed since then.  Slowly rubbing the pain away from his&lt;br /&gt;
back, Kamito walked in the court yard of the academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although he had not been turned into cinders receiving a hit from that&lt;br /&gt;
flame whip; maybe Claire had hold back some of her power, still it&lt;br /&gt;
didn&#039;t change the fact that it was quite painful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire must be harshly admonished by Madam Freya in the punish room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having eluded those female classmates who has enthusiastic pursued&lt;br /&gt;
him, Kamito finally obtained a moment of peace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike other students, he had no class for the afternoon. After&lt;br /&gt;
all, he had entered the school just now and had not registered for the&lt;br /&gt;
courses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Areishiya spirit academy operates on a credit system in which the&lt;br /&gt;
students can freely choose their preferred courses so long as they&lt;br /&gt;
meets the requirements. Because of enormous diversity of the&lt;br /&gt;
contracted spirits of the students, a uniform curriculum will not be&lt;br /&gt;
able to fully develop the potential of each himemiko.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;For the time being, I&#039;ll make some preparations for the school life starting&lt;br /&gt;
from tomorrow. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito finally came to his specially prepared dormitory, a hut&lt;br /&gt;
erected on the side of the stable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its appearance now looked worse than the time seen from the window. On&lt;br /&gt;
top of that, it had the smell of cattle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The door opened with a squeak. Kamito stepped in timidly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hmm, surprisingly, not too bad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito expressed his impression. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First of all, the bed was clean. Looking from the inside, the room&lt;br /&gt;
itself was spacious. Straw bed, table, chair, cabinet and other&lt;br /&gt;
furnitures were prepared after all. Cooking utensils were present as&lt;br /&gt;
well. Anyhow there wouldn&#039;t be much trouble to liver here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito immediately lay down on the straw bed, although it prickled the&lt;br /&gt;
back a bit, the smell of sun dried straws were good for comfortable&lt;br /&gt;
sleeps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh, well, no matter how to look at it, I need to endure it for two months&amp;quot;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lying still on the bed , Kamito fixed his eyes on the left hand&lt;br /&gt;
covered by black leather glove.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two months from now, the spirit blade dance would be held in the&lt;br /&gt;
elemental spirit realm Astral Zero.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before that, he must find four more teammates in order to enter the contest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was not clear what Greywhorth will have him to do. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But there was something he must check with his own eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A name that was deeply tied to the fate of himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participating in the contest of the spirit blade dance festival 3&lt;br /&gt;
years ago, Unmatchable Blade Dancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That accompanying her was a spirit of darkness that took the form a human girl. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who on earth were they?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ren Ashubel shouldn&#039;t exist in this world anymore. &lt;br /&gt;
Besides Greyworth, only very small number of people were aware of this. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even though one was just an impostor who gained the title of&lt;br /&gt;
unmatchable blade-dancer by fraud, it couldn&#039;t be for this reason that&lt;br /&gt;
the witch had made all the trouble to summon him here.  Greyworth must&lt;br /&gt;
be holding a huge secret.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what, to find out the truth, the only way was to cross blades&lt;br /&gt;
directly in the spirit blade dance festival in two months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But, in your current state, you won&#039;t be able to defeat her. &amp;quot; said&lt;br /&gt;
Greyworth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That most likely to be true. The witch was not lying. But surely she was&lt;br /&gt;
not telling the truth either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, it all come down to &amp;quot;the current state&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But in merely two month, he had to regain what was lost in the past&lt;br /&gt;
three years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
....Guu, suddenly his stomach growled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Feeling exhausted, Kamito lowered his arm that was raised toward the&lt;br /&gt;
roof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After all, he had not had anything since wondering into the spirit&lt;br /&gt;
forest this morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, he decided to endure the the empty stomach.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reason was that he was out of money. Although there were restaurants&lt;br /&gt;
for the students in the academy, the price was surprisingly high. This&lt;br /&gt;
had already passed the level of a shool for high class ladies, but a&lt;br /&gt;
school for princesses indeed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What&#039;s the point of one cup of soup being as expensive as normal folk&#039;s salary?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It can&#039;t be helped. Maybe I&#039;ll ask Ellis to show me around in the&lt;br /&gt;
academic city tomorrow. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One should be able to find cheaper and delicious restaurants in the&lt;br /&gt;
academy city at the foot of the hill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the cooking utensils, he could also just buy the material and cook&lt;br /&gt;
it on his own. For the fire all he needs to do was to go the spirit&lt;br /&gt;
forest and catch some low level fire spirits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Bacon and mushroom pasta sounds really good...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He got more hungry by thinking about food. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;should I go to the spirit forest and collect some mushrooms now?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As he started to seriously entertain that thought, from somewhere, the&lt;br /&gt;
smell of delicious soup flowed in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;....hmm?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frowning, Kamito got up from the bed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed the smell was coming in from the gap of half open door.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twitching his nose to inhale the smell, Kamito opened the door...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In front of him was a bowl of soup that gave off white steams. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Filled with a lot of onions and chicken with bones, the soup looked delicious. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... am I imagining things, or is this the kindness from heaven for my unending misfortune?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drawing a blank because of the hunger, Kamito reached out with his hands&lt;br /&gt;
toward the bowl without any suspicion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suddenly the bowl rose up a bit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He stretched out his hand again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once again the bowl was raised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then in front of the Kamito was the face of that princess with platinum&lt;br /&gt;
blond hair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her name should be Rinslet Laurenfrost if he remembered correctly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Behind her, the girl Carol in maid dresses stood courteously.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What&#039;s the meaning of this?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito asked with half opened eye. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Fuu, you must be hungry, right? Kamito Kazehaya?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yeah.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito noded honestly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Bark woof, and then swear that you will be my slave, I&#039;ll let you&lt;br /&gt;
have this bowl of soup.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet held the bowl still, and turned her large chest sideways. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I refuse. Bye Bye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bang. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ahh, wait, wait a second. Listen to what I say, you insolent. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bang! Bang! Door was kicked repeatly . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It would be trouble if she breaks it. Kamito opened the door again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What&#039;s that? You are going to let me have soup now?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Right away if you lick my foot ... Ahh, why are you closing the door again!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet quickly stuck her foot in the gap of the door, like a veteran&lt;br /&gt;
debt collector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ouch! That hurts!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It looked painful... What the hell was she here for anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Are you alright, my lady?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Worried about Rinslet, the Maid Carol asked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito had no choice but to open the door, Rinslet glared at him with&lt;br /&gt;
tears in her eyes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;How can you be such an insolent guy after I offered my hands with&lt;br /&gt;
kindness to you? &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No, you... hands with kindness?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appeared that she was serious. Slowly Kamito&#039;s head starts aching. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sheesh, all the princesses of this academy are so troublesome. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito complained inside his mind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having gotten a glimpse of the inside of the hut, the face of Rinslet&lt;br /&gt;
started to twitch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah, you, why are you living inside a stable?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The stable is next door. This is my dormitory. Home is where you make&lt;br /&gt;
it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Stop looking at me with such pity. It makes me feel sad.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her face looked like that she was seriously concerned about it. Kamito&#039;s&lt;br /&gt;
attitude softened a little bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Rather than living in a condition like this, you should come to my&lt;br /&gt;
house. I&#039;ll specially hire you as a servant.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah, my lady, I believe he will look great if we dress him as a&lt;br /&gt;
maid. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carol showed her support with a big smile. This girl was troublesome as well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, after all, it looked like that Rinslet was genuinely worried about&lt;br /&gt;
the circumstances.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Your sympathy is appreciated, but I don&#039;t plan to throw away my&lt;br /&gt;
pride.&amp;quot; Kamito shook his head.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Displeased, Rinslet perked up her lips.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;So you don&#039;t like to become my servant?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;That&#039;s right. There is no use to try to placate me. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;So full of yourself, even though you wag your tails at Claire Rouge. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;When did I wag my tail at that girl?&amp;quot; Kamito grumbled with half open&lt;br /&gt;
eye.  Well, many people might think the same---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Could it be that this princess try to get close to Kamito mainly out&lt;br /&gt;
of her rivalry with Claire?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yareyare, such an unexpected annoyance.&amp;quot; Kamito let out a heavy sigh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I got it. That&#039;s fine with me if that&#039;s how you wants it.&amp;quot;  Rinslet&lt;br /&gt;
cleared her throat, and placed the bowl on the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;hmm?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I&#039;ll leave the soup here. From the very beginning it was because&lt;br /&gt;
Carol cooked too much of it and it will be a shame to waste the left&lt;br /&gt;
overs. You should be grateful to my benevolence. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Eh?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(This young lady, by any chance----)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet turned around elegantly and was about to leave. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ahh, Wait, Rinslet!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito suddenly called out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet winced and stopped in her steps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Wh-what is that? Suddenly calling other people&#039;s first name---&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I can&#039;t be your servant, but we can be friends.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Eh?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet&#039;s emerald green eyes open wide. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Thank you for being worried and coming to see me.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Wh-wha, you, you insolent.  Of, of course that&#039;s not true.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet suddenly blushed and turned her face away. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Fufu, my lady is so...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Carol covered her mouth and giggles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:STnBD V01 113.jpg|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just at this time -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Rinslet Laurenfrost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A voice with which Kamito had gotten familiar suddenly passes into the his ears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire walked towards here, her red pigtails swaying .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appeared that Madam Freya admonishing session was finally over.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Don&#039;t feed my contract spirits without permission, you thieving dog.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You ... whom are you calling a thieving dog!? &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here we go again, Kamito let out a tired sigh. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What&#039;s that? Isn&#039;t your family crest a dog? &amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You - Laurenfrost&#039;s family crest is a proud White Wolf!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;White Wolf? Changing it into a Chihuahua fits you better.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Provoked by Claire&#039;s words---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Claire Rouge ... you really got my dander up. &amp;quot; Rinslet said with&lt;br /&gt;
suppress voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a flash, a fog-like chill hung around them. The temperature dropped&lt;br /&gt;
dramatically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Wait, you can&#039;t be calling your spirit -&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito hastily calls out, but it was too late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The cold wind swirled. Rinslet&#039;s hair flied up, rippling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh freezing beast with Ice-teeth, &lt;br /&gt;
merciless hunter of the forest, &lt;br /&gt;
Now is the time to abide the contract of blood,&lt;br /&gt;
hasten to my side as commanded!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as Rinslet finished the incantation in the spirit language, a gust&lt;br /&gt;
of ice storm engulfed all surrounding.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amid the roaring and swirling blizzard, a figure appeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A beautiful wolf, with a coat of silver white fur. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Its body exuded a freezing chill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This is ...&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is the contract spirit of my lady, Fenrir.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Carol said with a smile.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The imposing aura that White Wolf carried, was definitely incomparable&lt;br /&gt;
by a low level spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the ranking of the spirits, the White Wolf was unmistakably higher&lt;br /&gt;
than mid-level. To have made contracts with spirits of this level,&lt;br /&gt;
this young lady is definitely not your ordinary person. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well, your dog is still the same, with its coat color barely&lt;br /&gt;
meritable.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire shook her pigtails in disdain.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You... you called it a dog again, You flat chest!  I absolutely will&lt;br /&gt;
not forgive your insult to the family of Laurenfrost!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Covered with the chilling air, the White Wolf roared, and dashed toward&lt;br /&gt;
Claire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Whom are you calling flat chest! Come, Scarlet!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire lashed at the ground with her whip.  A scorching hell cat&lt;br /&gt;
immediately appeared from the twirling rising flames.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appeared that Claire had long conjured up her spirit already.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;-Hey you two! No fighting with your spirit here!&amp;quot;  Kamito cried out.&lt;br /&gt;
The horses in the stables neighed in fear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I will not forgive you to put your hand on my slave. I&#039;ll end it here&lt;br /&gt;
today, you thieving dog.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I&#039;ll surely steal your servant and make him mine!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sparks burst out between the two girls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If one only listened to these lines, it sounded like two woman in love&lt;br /&gt;
fighting over a man.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The two ladies look like lovers fighting over a man!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Carol, you don&#039;t have to say that.&amp;quot; Kamito looked at the maid standing&lt;br /&gt;
next to him with squinted eyes . &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;By the way, is really OK to not stop them?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Right. They have always been like this.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;These two girls have always been behaving like this to each other&lt;br /&gt;
...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yes, the relation between the two ladies is very good.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Is this the irony?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito grumbled with a sigh.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You have always been an eyesore, Claire Rouge!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You are the same, Rinslet!  Why do you have to always cause me&lt;br /&gt;
trouble!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Magic ice spirit Fenrir--- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Flame spirit Scarlet--- &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two spirits suddenly jumped up in the air and clashed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ice and Fire collided, sending storm bursting around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the point of view of Kamito, the levels of the two spirit were&lt;br /&gt;
almost the same.  But it seems that Claire had an advantage in the&lt;br /&gt;
skill of mastering the spirits. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the flame spirit in her command was apparently quite spent out. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Because she was beaten up by the sword spirit a few hours ago---) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Receiving such a large amount of damage, she couldn&#039;t possibly have&lt;br /&gt;
recovered by taking a short break. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito observed the fighting of the two spirits. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Eh? What?...... a burning smell?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito frowned and looked around.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the sight came into his eyes, his expression suddenly freezed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was Burning.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito&#039;s hut was burned fiercely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The straws that stocked next to his hut had caught the sparks of the&lt;br /&gt;
flame spirit and started burning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah, my home!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hearing the cries of Kamito, Claire quickly turned toward here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Rinslet! Pause! We got fire!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is no use to distract me ... Huh? It is really burning!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hut fire burned more and more violent. Sooner or later the stables&lt;br /&gt;
would catch fire too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;My home---&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Calm down. Fire of this scale, I&#039;ll put it out in no time - Fenrir!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet cried out, the white wolf of magic ice instantly came back to&lt;br /&gt;
her side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as one thought that the white wolf suddenly disappeared in the&lt;br /&gt;
air, in Rinslet&#039;s hands a huge &amp;lt;ice Longbow&amp;gt; appeared.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Elemental Waffe(weapon)&amp;quot; the second purified form of the spirit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh freezing teeth of ice, pierce your target!  &amp;lt;freezing arrow&amp;gt;!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet pulled up an ice arrow and shoot. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The arrows turned into countless ice pieces and pour down, the burning&lt;br /&gt;
flame was instantly extinguished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well, with me here it is a piece of cake!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet stroked her long platinum blond hair and puffed out her chest&lt;br /&gt;
proudly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;......&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito stood motionlessly with the dumbfound stare. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hut was smashed into pieces by pouring down ice arrows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Kohon&amp;quot;, Rinslet let out a dry cough.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... Seems that I went a bit too far.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This is not called a bit. Do you have any control of your power?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You ... shut up! From the very beginning it was you who lit it up!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring the stunned Kamito, those two engaged in arguments again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this time - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What are you doing!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The footsteps of several people running from the middle court could be heard. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of them was the ponytail girl in a silver breastplate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis Fahrengart, the commander of the Knight brigade Sylpheed who was&lt;br /&gt;
in charge of up-keeping the discipline of the academy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Behind her there were two girls in the same dress.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire sucked her tongue, and Rinslet also didn&#039;t bother to hide her&lt;br /&gt;
face of displeasure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is prohibited to fight for private matter in school ... What!?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hastily running steps suddenly stopped.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her eyes widened, looking dazed at pile of rubble that was Kamito&#039;s&lt;br /&gt;
home. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Black smokes slowly rose from the charred rubble.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This is ...... What on earth is this?!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis questioned Kamito, her voice charged with fury. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She drew the sword that hangs at her waist, pointing to the throat of&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You, you hate the house that I made! Is that it? Is this your protest?!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No ... there is absolutely no such thing!  This is because - &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito quickly explained.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It was this stupid dog who blow it up to dust.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Before that, this pitiful chest lit it on fire!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Heard the voices from behind, Alice turned around.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire and Rinslet, pointed their fingers at each other in accusation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... That&#039;s how it was. It was your work, just like always.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis sighed with an expression that says &amp;quot;I understood&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Knight commander, your greeting is more enthusiastic that the usual.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is the usual greeting, isn&#039;t it? Problematic students of the&lt;br /&gt;
raven class?&amp;quot;  Alice looked sharply at Rinslet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Soon, the the girls from the Knight brigade who were following Ellis&lt;br /&gt;
finally caught up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A girl with tea colored hair tied in braids, and another girl with&lt;br /&gt;
black hair in a tomboy style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as they see Claire and Rinslet, the two girls put on&lt;br /&gt;
expressions like they have bitten some bitter worm.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... Hell cat Claire!  And Ice Wolf Rinslet!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What did they do again this time, these guys from the lowly raven&lt;br /&gt;
class?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the eyes of the girls plainly floated a contemptuous look.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... What did you say?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What did you utter just now?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire and Rinslet glared at the two girls at the same time.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the girls completely ignored them focus their eyes Kamito. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Are you that newly transferred male Seirei-Tsukai?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh, not bad. Very handsome.&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl with braids looked at Kamito up and down like evaluating his price. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The girl&#039;s sight made Kamito to shrink away in discomfort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Wait, this guy is my slave spirit that I caught!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I tamed Kamito Kazahaya: he is my servant!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire and Rinslet declared arbitrarily of their ownership of Kamito&lt;br /&gt;
at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The knight girl with braids snuffs with disdain, said: &amp;quot;Alas, because&lt;br /&gt;
nobody wants to form a team with you, you use your sex appeals to&lt;br /&gt;
seduce the transfer student. Such a fitting style for a countryside&lt;br /&gt;
noble.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You dare to call me a countryside noble!&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet&#039;s face suddenly turns livid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It appears that the girl stepped on the mines should not be stepped on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sure I did. Laurenfrost family has a only big-name only, it&#039;s really&lt;br /&gt;
just a country bumpkin.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You ... you ... you ...!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;My, My lady. Please calm down -&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Fu, fufu, fu, ... Carol, I am quite calm. &amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet revealed a bright smile ... although she tries to be lady like,&lt;br /&gt;
her face is still quite scary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another girl knight turned to Claire, and scorned: &amp;quot;As for Claire&lt;br /&gt;
Rouge, although she is a noble, but isn&#039;t she the sister of the a&lt;br /&gt;
traitor? Really, why did the academy accepts this person for admission---&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At that instant, Claire suddenly lashed at the ground with the whip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;- shut up. Or I&#039;ll make you into charcoal cinders.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire snarled with suppressed voice, her voice trembling, her red eyes&lt;br /&gt;
quietly burning with anger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(... Claire is the sister of a traitor?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kamito frowned.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(... what on earth is the meaning of this?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The two girls felt the sudden change of atmosphere and fell silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You went too far.&amp;quot;  Ellis chided the two, then turned to Claire.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She cleared her throat and said: &amp;quot;In short, I will report this instant&lt;br /&gt;
to the knight headquarters. The charge will be to use spirit to start a&lt;br /&gt;
small fire and and cause property damage. We&#039;ll notice you the&lt;br /&gt;
specifics of the punishment in time. Please refrain from such stupid&lt;br /&gt;
things again.  We are busy, you know?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Let&#039;s go.&amp;quot; Alice said and was about to lead the other two away.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, from behind came a voice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hold on! Ellis Fahrengart, are you trying to run away?&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ellis stopped, turned back to Claire who called out her. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What did you say just now?&amp;quot;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The calm tone of voice was full of anger. Alice&#039;s hand was on the hilt&lt;br /&gt;
of the sword at her waist. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Oh, you heard it?  I did not expect the Sylpheed Knights were cowards.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Claire Rouge, Do you think I&#039;ll just let it go if someone insults the Sylpheed knights?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alice unsheathe her sword. The other two drew their sword at the same&lt;br /&gt;
time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I&#039;ll return that line intact back to you. You may insult me as you&lt;br /&gt;
please, but I will not forgive anyone who insults my sister.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire stroke the ground with her whip.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I request a dual, Ellis Fahrengart, with the other two as well.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Let me join as well, Claire Rouge.  It is the Laurenfrost family&#039;s&lt;br /&gt;
injunction to take revenge at those dare to smear the family name of&lt;br /&gt;
Laurenfrost.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rinslet ruffled her hair, and showed an undaunted smile.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point Alice pointed the tip of her sword toward these two.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well, it will stain the name of the Sylpheed Knights if we are&lt;br /&gt;
accused of running away. I will accept the request.  I&lt;br /&gt;
can&#039;t stand the mess of your raven class any longer.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Hey, isn&#039;t it prohibited to fight for private matters? &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At such a precarious intense moment, Kamito instinctively spoke out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It is forbidden to fight for private matters within school&lt;br /&gt;
ground. Anyway, I have no intention to do it here. &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What do you mean?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring Kamito who was tilting his head, Ellis turned to Claire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The time will be 2am tonight, in front of the &amp;lt;door&amp;gt;. I&#039;ll leave it&lt;br /&gt;
to you to decide the format.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;...One-on-one is too much trouble. How about we fight as teams of three.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;That will do.&amp;quot;  Alice nodded and put away the sword, then turned around&lt;br /&gt;
and left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire glared at the back of the knights and cursed viciously:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well I will let you regret this, especially that short haired girl. &lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll definitely give her a sound beating!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Such a good opportunity. I have disliked the bunch from the Knight&lt;br /&gt;
brigade since long ago.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Rinslet, Try not to be a burden.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;After destroying the hut, now you are on a duel. Please take mercy on&lt;br /&gt;
me.&amp;quot;  Kamito sighed deeply. Then he suddenly he realized.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Battle as a team of three. So, who will be the third person?  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;As it turns out, -&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Claire placed one hand on her waist, and pointed a finger at Kamito. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;it is time to show us your strength, my slave spirit! &amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ahhh... I knew this is how it would be...&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In front of rubble heap that was his former home , Kamito reluctantly&lt;br /&gt;
dropped his shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;big&amp;gt; end of chapter 4  &amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
