The morning after the party Sathe and Roku were enrolled into a school that was specific for those who had ranked higher than grade D. They so happened to have some classes with each other and some with kate and others. Although this isn't like a regular school, this was a more militiristic school that would send students on missions. These missions could range from picking up supplies for the school to fighting enemies that could threaten the stability of the world. The reequirem3nts for this school vary from person to person. For Sathe he had to at least be rank -C and have 3 skills. For Roku he had to at least be rank -C and have a power level equal 1.2 billion, or about the same strength as Perfect Cell at half power. Which, they have both surpassed. Roku and Sathe walked into a classroom and were greeted by Kate waving at them. They sat down on either sides of her and were talking for a bit until "hey. I don't think i gave you two dunder heads permission to talk to my girlfriend" a boy with blonde hair and red eyes said as Roku rolled his eyes "look Ashen, me and kate go way back before you two were a thing" Roku said as Ashen smirked "i know, i just love giving weaklings like you a difficult time. I know you don't have the balls to make a move on my girl" ashen said as he had an arm around kate's shoulder with his hand resting on her chest. "Just remember, all of this" Ashen said as he made a motion with his hand that circled kate's body "belongs to me" Ashen said as he turned kate's face towards him and kissed her. Kate's face was hard to reads but from what Roku could sense, there was romantic feelings as well as feelings of disgust for ashen in her heart. Sathe looked at Ashen with hate in his eyes and tried to protest but was stopped when Roku looked at him and shook his head. "That's right, listen to your friend, let it be known. I am Ashen, first son of Gilgamesh, inherator of the strongest noble phantasm, and the second strongest in this school. Behind my dear of course" Ashen said as Sathe swallowed spit as he heard the name of his father "Gilgamesh, father talked about him, warned me to never cross his path, and this guy so happen's to be his son. And is a complete asshole. Apple doesn't fall far fropm the tree i guess from what i've been told" Sathe thought as Ashen gave a smug smile. "How about i show you with an example. Roku, me, you, courtyard, i want you to give it your all, and i mean everything you have" Ashen said as he snapped his finger and teleported them to the school yard. "Let's get this over with. I do have a few new things I want to try out" Sathe said as his body changed and morphed to a slightly robotic form with some dragon scales on his skin. "Like that would do much. My father is the king of kings. You can't do anything to me" Ashen said as he summoned dozens of weapons that were floating in the air and were aimed at Sathe. "Right… all of them are ranked D-B. Um, can we wait a bit?" Sathe said before a sword got lodged in his gut before it got absorbed. "I just have to destroy your body to defeat you. That should be easy!" Ashen said as he got ready to launch a lot more. And thanks to his mother, Sathe's dragon scales have their effectiveness reduced. As swords, spears, axes, daggers and other weapons were launched at Sathe, he appeared to disappear and reappear close by. "Do you have short range teleportation?" Ashen asked as he was ready to fight close quarters. "Sadly No. I absorbed ever cybernetics I could get my hands on. Most from the cyberpunk universe. I can't keep it going non stop, but I can keep activating it" Sathe said as he got as close as he could. Ashen brought out an A + rank great sword and swung at Sathe. Sathe dodged but got his arm cut off. He backed off a bit but got daggers launched into his body. Sathe decided to use [Satanael]. When he activated the ability, the daggers actually bounced off of his aura, they weren't strong enough. Sathe dashed ahead and started punching as Ashen blocked with his swords. Sathe was actually breaking and pushing Ashen back since the key part of [Satanael] is that it converts all magic power into physical strength and the magical breeder reactor continues to generate magic power. However, it puts the user in an uncontrollable rage. The fight continued for a few more minutes with what it seemed like a win for Sathe which surprised everyone. However, Ashen backed up and pulled out a huge sword with an intimidating aura. As he swung the sword to Sathe's direction a powerful wave came from it and destroyed everything in its path before it was stopped by the barrier. After the dust cleared, Sathe was standing there with half of his body missing. He managed to regenerate some of it but his Regeneration stopped before it reached his shoulder as he was out of magic. "Ha, I won!" Ashen said as he put Ea away. Sathe collapsed and for the first time,felt a new sensation of no magic in him. Ashen stepped on Sathe's head and rubbed his heel into the crown of it. "Insolent little worm" Ashen said as Roku's energy started to rise. Seeing his friend being humiliated like that, by a person like Ashen. It made his blood boil with anger. "That's enough Ashen, he's done" Roku said through closed teeth. "No, the winner gets to decide when the fight Is over" Ashen said as Roku had put a painful grip on his shoulder "I said that was enough" Roku said, this time with a faint golden glow around him. Sparks of electricity crackled around him as he tried to keep his anger and aggression in check. But with each passing moment it felt as if he'd burst if he didn't do anything. "Or what" Ashen said as he smirked "You won't fair much better than your friend" Ashen said as he got in Roku's face. "Believe me, I'll give you something that he couldn't give you" Roku said as the electricity ripped through the ground. "Uh oh" Kate thought as this wasn't the first time Ashen and Roku were about to come to blows. Only this time, Roku had reached a tipping point and Ashen had driven the final nail in the coffin.
"The last time you tried this, I broke every bone in your body. What makes you so much different now" Ashen said as with those words, Roku would gladly show him one major difference between who he was and who he is. A golden aura swallowed Roku as a powerful gust of wind blew Ashen away a bit as he looked at Roku. Roku's blonde hair, red eyes, and powerful aura made Ashen grin like an idiot. "I'm impressed, no proud, you truly aren't who you were back then. And those eyes, those are the eyes of someone who desires power such as I" Ashen said as he snapped his fingers and summoned a sword that looked like a wisp of smoke. "Say, make this interesting for me. I've been dying to test this one out" Ashen said as Roku dashed at him with incredible speed that cracked the ground beneath him and landed a powerful punch on Ashen's face. Ashen instantly grabbed Roku by the face and then rushed him into a nearby wall. Roku landed an uppercut that sent Ashen into the air, he then followed up by flying after him and kicking him back down. Roku didn't let up as he rushed Ashen. Ashen got up and wiped blood from his mouth as he was then punched in the stomach and then hit with a flurry of kicks and then blasted away with a massive ball of Ki. As Ashen his the ground, a large cloud of dust was kicked up. Roku was sweating a bit as he was breathing heavily. Super Saiyan was powerful but draining, he hadn't mastered it to the extent that his father had. "Man, it's been so long since anyone weaker than me has hit me that hard" Ashen said as a giant golden wave of light slammed into Roku. "But, even with your transformation, you have glaring weaknesses. For starters, you're leaking power, and losing stamina by the minute. Secondly, you can't maximize the amount of power you use in a single spot. And thirdly, remember this one" Ashen said as he was already behind Roku. He slammed Roku down into the ground by his tail "You forgot who you were dealing with. The power difference between us Is as vast as the seven seas combined. You'd need to train for dozens of years to even come close to me" Ashen said as he swapped to Ea and pointed the tip of it at Roku. "Hmph, if you weren't who you are to Kate, then you would have died here today. I commend you for drawing blood from my face, but you are only an A rank at best. Whereas I'm in the SS+ Rank and encroaching X rank. You'll never beat me as you are" Ashen said as his weapon faded away. Kate had been clutching her forearms watching this as she was disgusted and saddened a bit. She had watched her friends be beat down by someone who she felt like she genuinely loved. "Please. That's enough Ash." Kate said as Ashen smirked. Just then, Ea slowly started to disappear and Ashen was shocked. He looked and saw Sathe with a Smoky looking hole in space next to him. "Your weapons are made of Mana. As long as I drain you of your mana, you can't summon your weapons" Sathe said as he blitzed and kicked Ashen to the other side of the arena. Sathe then poured a small bottle of a blue liquid into Roku's mouth as he instantly recovered and [Beelzebub] was drawn back. Ashen got up with a livid expression as an insurmountable pressure overtook the arena as he was about to blitz over to Sathe until Kate hugged him from behind with a trembling voice. "Please. Stop. I can't stand it when you get like this. He and Roku have had enough. I'm begging you my beloved" Kate said as Ashen sighed as the pressure subsided. Ashen pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped Kate's face with it. "I'm sorry my dear. I should have stopped sooner. I apologize for causing you pain. I promise to keep myself in check" Ashen said as Kate let more of her soft side show to Ashen. And it made Sathe sick to his stomach. Sathe saw Ashen kiss Kate and as much as he wanted to go over and continue his effort, Roku put a hand on his shoulder which seemingly stopped everything he was planning. "Don't, it's done, we lost. Let's just go about our business" Roku said as he sighed. "Trust me, I've tried just like you. But it's not worth losing Kate over" Roku said as he could see how happy Kate looked as Ashen held her hand and said sweet things to her. Although, it never felt like he was being genuine to her. Saiyans could sense more than energy, they can sense malice and intent. It all reflected on one's energy. Sathe had the same thought. He was running everything through Rapheal and it did lead to a similar result. But they had no proof and left.
