《Haikye Raifu》


 Chapter 1 | Beginings

    Kimoto Haikye was a regular high school kid before he unleashed his power. He didn''t know about his family heritage before the incident at the magic school. A lot of the time he felt alone, he never really understood people he was surrounded by every day. Although he was the most unpopular kid, he was the most athletic student, as well as being one of the sons of the famous blacksmith, Touto Haikye.


    Kimoto was walking home with his older brother, Hiroshi Haikye. When suddenly a girl ran out of an alleyway in front of them. She stumbled after every step, a pool of blood was trailed behind her. As well as a large man dressed in black with a mask on, he also wielded a knife drenched in the young girls blood. Hiroshi softly murmured to Kimoto,


    "Take the girl and get to our house"


    Kimoto nodded, and pulled the girl by her arm around the corner, however, Hiroshi stayed back, a horrible green glow came from the street.


    Kimoto nervously awaited Hiroshi''s return, he paced through the house. By this time the girl had fainted and was lying on a sofa in the front room. He walked by her and tended to her wounds. He heard a loud bang at the door and swiftly made his way to the door.  He opened the door cautiously


    "Hey now",


    Hiroshi said, Kimoto sighed, and smugly replied,


    "Took your time",


    They both chuckled, but Hiroshi gained a nervous but serious look, and added,


    "So, how''s the girl, she was bleeding quite a -"


    Kimoto cut Hiroshi''s speech and pointed towards the sofa.


    "I bandaged her the best I could, but she fainted, the cuts quite mean looking, maybe you should help clean her up."


    Kimoto walked over to the counter and pulled draws out until he found a first aid pack.


    "Here it comes!"


    Kimoto threw the pack at Hiroshi,


    "Thanks,"


    Kimoto walked into the forge, he shouted out to Hiroshi,


    "I''m going to try to make something, need to get what happened off my mind."


    Hiroshi chuckled,


    "Have a go, remember what father said,"


    Kimoto worked tirelessly that day to make something he could call his creation, Kimoto had never really created anything to be proud of before. However today was to be different, after working for hours in the forge, he fell asleep leaving the weapon he was creating to cool. While he was fast asleep a yellow rune mark appeared across the blade of the sword, it illuminated the room and others around it. Wildlife outside scurried away as it saw the closing light.


    "KIMOTO!!"


    Kimoto woke, banging his head on the iron above him,


    "You made this!!"


    Touto exclaimed, Kimoto never really saw his father this excited so he was confused, he nervously said,


    "Made what?"


    He looked around but his eyes were fixed upon the blade in the water, his eyes illuminated with excitement he jumped around like a little boy.


    "I made something! I really made it!"


    Touto picked it up, he was amazed, he began to wave it around although the blade looked lifeless until Kimoto laid his hand across it. As soon as he did the blade lit up, a magnificent yellow colour flooded  across the blade.


    "Woah! What the hell is this!?"


    Kimoto exclaimed, his mouth was on the floor, his eyes were fixed on the blade. He stepped back while reaching the sword out, he screamed,


    "WHY IS IT YELLOW?"


    Touto looked at the blade mesmerised, he then quickly snapped out of it and realised that the blade was magic. He then surprisingly looked at Kimoto instead of being absorbed by the blade.


    "Well done son, you made it, you''re a part of the Haikye Mages."


    Kimotos face was speechless, he didn''t know what his own father was talking about. He gave his father a crazy look,


    "Mages?! You''ve kept this a secret for how long?!"


    Hiroshi walked into the room,


    "I know it sounds crazy, but it''s true, even I am one."


    This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.Hiroshi added.


    "And now what then, are you going to enrol me at an academy for Mages? Or are you going to kill me?"


    Kimoto said nervously, backing his self into the corner gripping his sword by his side.


    "Of course not! Well don''t tell anyone about it, but you will have to attend Shiratorizawa magic school, it will all be fine your brother, Hiroshi attends it."


    Touto softly added, he patted Kimoto on the back and pushed him into the middle of the room.


    "Well, you still need to name your sword"


    Kimoto thought to himself, he looked down at the sword, he looked up,


    "Kasei, yeah I think I''ll call it that."


    Days past and it was Kimotos first day at Shiratorizawa, he dressed in his school uniform, while having his newly made sword, Kasei sheathed on his back. On his way to school, he saw the girl again, he awkwardly waved across the street, she came running over,


    "KIMOTO! Kimoto!"


    By this time she was right next to him,


    "Kimoto thanks for everyone back then, you and your brother were really a life saver,"


    He just smiled and asked,


    "I never got your name, what was it?"


    She smiled back and shyly said,


    "Katrya Yuziho"


    He placed out his hand, but she went straight for the hug, he just accepted it and laughed.


    Across that week, Kimoto made many friends, some were better than others, but still all friends. He also began to see Katrya more often, it was plainly obvious that they were both in love with each other but they were scared to show it. Until one day Hiroshi forced Kimoto to ask her out. From then on Katrya was often only seen a Kimotos house, though Touto warned him about letting a girl in so quickly.


    The next day, both Katrya and Kimoto were walking down a street to get to her school, when three thugs jumped out on them each one held a knife, they gave Kimoto and Katrya two choices, either to die or to give them everything that they had.


    Kimoto looked at Katyra and nodded,


    "Just give them everything"


    They both began to chuck everything they had to the ground and began to take small, slow steps back. One of the thugs groaned,


    "Don''t you leave now! We are just starting to have fun!"


    Kimoto guarded Katrya, by placing her behind him, he smiled,


    "Don''t come closer, this is a warning.."


    The three thugs chuckled they began to run at him, placing their knives in front of them to hit him, Kimotos eyes grew a yellow tint to them, he had a very sadistic smile on him. The first thug closest to him plunged his knife at Kimoto, but it wasn''t successful, Kimoto grabbed the man''s hand and twisted it backwards, causing it to snap. Kimoto sighed,


    "Do you really think you can challenge me?"


    He began to have fits of laughter. Seeing this an opportunity, one of the thugs went for Katrya who was exposed, she could do nothing. Kimoto suddenly began to stop laughing, he turned his head and saw his girlfriend on the floor agonisingly bleeding to death. A tear rolled down his face, all around him, an aura of yellowness started to grow. Kimoto remembered back to one of the lessons he was present in, and he screamed out,


    "EXPEL"


    The aura grew until it reached the two remaining thugs who were petrified and frozen with fear.  They were flung across the street into a lamppost, Kimoto fell onto his knees, he was uncontrollably crying. He realised that a siren was closing in, he looked around him at horrified citizens next to him,


    "Murderer! He killed her!"


    The citizens shrieked with fear around him, he realized that the police must be coming to capture him, he had no option but to run. He kissed Katrya on the lips and stood. Under his breath, he softly mumbled,


    "I love you."


    He ran off into an alleyway, while tears rolled down his face.

 Chapter 2 | School!

    While sitting in his bed the next day, he began to cry, while recounting what happened that previous day, he replayed thoughts in his mind,


    "Was it my fault? Did I cause her death? Why couldn''t it of been me?"


    Touto walked in, he had a sad expression lurking across his face he gently told Kimoto,


    "I''m sorry about what happened son, but you can''t miss school already. Go to school and see what happens there alright?"


    Kimoto nodded, his head was still looking down at a puddle of tears. He slowly made his way out of his bed and stood up he then made his way to his wardrobe. He sorrowfully got his clothes out and began to get changed, he then placed Kasei onto his back in its sheath. He walked out of the room, and glumly said,


    "I''ll be back after school"


    Once Kimoto was at school he acted like nothing had ever happened, as he was walking through the corridor to get to homeroom he saw a girl which he was close to.


    "Hey Azuma"


    Azuma''s face lit, she smiled and waved back and screeched,


    "Hey Kimoto!"


    She ran over and hugged him, Kimoto patted her on the head. As Kimoto was about to say something, the bell rang.


    "Well time to go to homeroom"


    They walked together towards the class.


    The lecture room was massive, around the room there were floating candles, and massive chandeliers. This room was the main lecture room so it had paintings of previous Archmages. Kimoto noticed a previous archmage called Hideyoshi, although he couldn''t make out the last name, though it did remind him of a painting he saw at his house once or twice.


    "And today we are going to learn about Hidden seals!"


    Professor Hikaru yelled across the room. He raised his right arm and pulled down his sleeve, a  white mark appeared on his arm, he bellowed


    "SAIKATSU"


    The rooms candles blew out, the room began to grow dark, but an ever so growing white rune mark grew where the professor was standing. Whispers from the students began to grow louder, but they all stopped as everyone heard,


    "APPEAR"


    The room became light once again, and a giant stood in place for the professor. But you could see the professor peaking around the leg of the giant,


    "Hidden seals, are your magic, you learn them, and you call them by their name! As you can see this is a summoning type, and it''s aura is white, each seal type has its own colour aura. Offence is blue and defence is orange. Over the next following sessions, I will teach you the seals and how to use them."


    Every student stood and applauded the professor as he walked out. The giant remained until the professor exited the class.


    Throughout the day, the other students were attempting to master the summoning magic the professor used. Whether it be in the corridors, the gym, the toilets wherever the students could get away from other students. Kimoto and Amuza didn''t try just because they knew no one would find out how to do it.

    The next day, everyone was sitting in the lecture hall waiting for the professor. However, he didn''t show up, although after waiting for another ten minutes another professor turned up and shouted out,


    "Everyone, move yourself to the practice hall, we''re going to test your current magic skills."


    One of the students stood up and praised himself saying,


    "I will be the best! None of you will stand up to my skills!"


    Kimoto looked puzzled, he asked Azuma who was sitting next to him,


    "Who''s this guy?"


    She answered with,


    "That''s Kaori, he kind of thinks he''s the best in the school."


    Kimoto rolled his eyes, he thought about his magic powers, and what his magic could do. Maybe this guy was better than Kimoto or maybe this guy was better than everyone. Everyone stood up and began to make their way to the practice hall.


    Once everyone was there, the teacher led the students through the hall showing them what the hall contained. But as soon as the teacher walked around the corner with the students, a group of mages wearing the same red robes stood there. The teacher stepped back, she placed her arm back shielding the students, she screamed,


    "STUDENTS GET BACK"


    The students gasped as they saw the mages ahead of them, by now the mages had all stepped into stances ready to fight. The teacher raised her arm letting her arm be shown, she screeched,


    "BAIRUJUN"


    A blue rune shield appeared in front of her, the students cheered, they all thought that nothing would get through the defence magic. But they stopped cheering when they heard one of the mages shouts,


    "CHARIJU"


    A bolt came whizzing through the blue rune, the teacher got hit, she fell on her knees she looked back at the students and time slowed, she raised out her hand and softly mumbled,


    "DRAGUR"


    A blue orb appeared around the students, it was a high ranking magic. A man stood out from the mages, he wasn''t in the typical red robe, he was in red plated armour he raised his arm and screamed,


    "DEATHLOCK"


    A black bolt came from his hand towards the students, everyone screamed in fear that this was the end. But Kimoto didn''t, he placed his arm up and unsheathed his sword with his other arm, the sword was flooded with the yellow colour. He aimed the hand towards the incoming black bolt. Kimoto closed his eyes and calmly spoke,


    "DE YUARUSUTAITU"


    The same yellow colour on his sword appeared across his right arm, almost like it was a flame, he walked outside of the blue orb and angrily screamed,


    "LUGARUS"


    A huge yellow rune appeared in front of him, the black bolt hit the shield and was sent back towards the caster, everyone stopped making noise and stared at him. A boy had just used one of the most powerful hidden seals ever. The caster stood there mesmerised on the boy, but soon he wasn''t as the bolt hit him he fell to the floor saying,


    "How.."
