Deruth takes ruru's hands and take him away from the crowd and talk about their plans. Deruth thinks. He know this will be really dangerous. Was about to happen today. It was the start of the story. Deruth lean closer to ruru ears.
"Ruru. What's your abilities?"
"Ohh. That? Im a summoner i can summon 5 ink monster. I can cast any elements using my ink magic.. but its still weak and useless so. I prepared this many explosives*

Ruru said his hands was trembling he must've felt the danger too. Deruth heart softened deruth smiled. He feels like a big brother.
"I'll protect you i promise"

Deruth was surprised at ruru's words he nodded they both agree. After entering inside they both got teleported in the snowy place. Deruth look around looking for ruru. ruru suddenly came out from the snow.
"Acchoooo"
"Glad you're okay lets find a shelter"

"Wow. You're so creative."
"Quite a complement. I Just had some useful habits.. I am living in the woods"
"Impressive. i wanna live in the woods too"
Ruru's was so interested on deruth's abilities. The shelter was moving towards the safest place. than going to hunt some monster. Ruru asks
"Why aren't we hunting?"
Deruth can't just tell ruru what he knows. Deruth patted ruru's head. And ruru acted like a dog. Deruth tried to use some excuses.
"Because im afraid we might get eliminate faster. so safety first. Just like i said ill protect you."
"If you say so."
The place became quite while traveling. In the other hand Stella and her partner raku fighting. Caroline and Chesire in the forest. A loud exploding sounds are happening in the forest *bomm booom boom* Chesire swinging their sword like a wild beast.

Raku immediately heals stella. before casting a debuff skills. Chesire hold their dragon knight helmet. A dragon race Wearing a knight helmet and male uniform had fallen in their knees. But suddenly Caroline came from behind raku her grave weapon was open. Using the "Grave of torture" skill. Fully aim to raku

Before the grave catch raku. Stella block the attack using her katana iconic "parry counter skill" she look from her behind. Stella was worried about the tired raku. That was using her skill continuously. Her breath was heavy.
And almost out of breath.
"Miss raku are you okay?"

With that stella finally unsheathed her katana the blade was like a glass. just one breath. and immediately almost defeat Caroline but she use her huge grave as shield To maximize the damages. The fully opened grave blast some magic Canon.
Stella immediately cut the magic with her katana. Caroline dashed from behind so quickly before launching quick melee attack that caught stella of guard while she's busy dealing with the cannon. The grave hit her from behind after. while Caroline attack's her continuously with her dual blades.
Caroline was about to finish the fight but. An unexpected moment happen some armored enemy came and hit Caroline that send her flying she immediately got knocked out. Stella and others was surprised and panicked.

Chesire got mad and about to attack more but finally the academy principal came. Holding her halberd. Teleporting to the front of them. She spin her halberd and aim it the armored enemy. As they talk
"Oi who are you to mess up on my school?"
"My apologies im the invader. The third strongest from the dark faction. Youre lucky i don't have my lance and horse. But i can still defeat you with my own hands."
The academy president was checking the situation and felt an anomaly energy from the invader. An enemy who can't never been defeated. Its dark armor releasing some overflowing energy dark energy that surpasses dark knights.
"Student.. get away as possible I'll hold him off. The backup was coming."
The three of them nodded immediately they take Caroline with them as they evacuated. the invader and the president clash together that enough to make a massive destruction in other hand deruth and ruru felt the magic
"Ruru listen to me.. we need to evacuate imme-"
Before deruth finish his words their shelter got attacked. deruth instinctly use his body to cover ruru. He got wounded deeply. Ruru got worried and panic.
"Deruth! Are you okay?"
"F#ck no.."
Deruth immediately look around thinking about the plan he put ruru in the monster back tied him up tight. before sending ruru away ruru throws his bag to deruth.
"You.. fine here use it those are my invention...pls come back safe deruth.!"
Deruth takes the bag and run inside the closest tower. He cover his wounds using his cloth. The mother warns him that she felt many people holding a magic gun. Entering the place chasing him thinking he's strong
"Oh they planned well. Don't worry it's just few.. heh they're really planning to wipe the students huh."
Deruth runs until he reached the top floor and he see many place was in chaos. all the dark faction leaders was around the area. But he knows it will stopped soon as the backup came by a powerful swordmaster and magicians.
"Just 30mins. I can survive.."
"Oh survive where?"
A man from behind said. Deruth didn't detect him at all. But once he see its face it's surely a dark faction member apprentice. its a nobody from the story deruth knows but right now its one of the strong. people he will fight early in the story.
"Ripen von Miller.."
"You know me? How could a mare student know the name i abandoned years ago.. never mind you're going to die anyway.."
In quick explanation in deruth mind ripen von Miller. Worked hard in his whole life just to get stronger. Gaining His ability that can see the future. Without any restrictions or cooldown. But it will reduce his foresight if he use it too much in one day.
Before deruth say anything ripen Attacked deruth. a powerful quick dark magic hits deruth's head. The attack ain't powerful. but the quick casting Hit deruth's head with no guard. Deruth was defeated again
"As expected from a student.."
Ripen walk away and start looking far at the forest. he was about to cast a spell that will hit ruru from a distance. But a unknown presence he felt from behind. Deruth in his mind falling in the deep abyss.
"Again!? Just like that? Im tired of it! How am i supposed to survive with this.. wait.. ruru.."
Deruth remember his promise his memory breaking promise. Makes him far more hard to lose. His mind full of words. Whisper's that he always felt since in the beginning. The sounds stopped.. a beeping sounds of system. Slowly getting stronger.
It says the condition was fulfilled. Deruth had reach the top you're now the "boss of this tower" his on eye open overflowing with mana. Deruth herman all increasable stat reached 900 with additional another 909 with no allies when in this tower.
The system says the tower acknowledge your malice. Would you like to accept the limited power. In exchange of part of you. Deruth had no choice and he agreed. *Beep beep.. the tyrant who rules nothing.. wake up* deruth abilities Suddenly change.
"What the f#ck. Is this."
Ripen cast another quick magic. But this time he was not holding back. Deruth raise his hand for blocking. *Beep.. herman style was mean to protect the user in any kind of attack "Anything!"* The system said deruth start Parrying and grabbing the magic
Ripen start casting any type of magic he known all of them was dodged and parried. Like nothing. ripen think he still in upper hands. Because he can see the future and also dodge deruth attack. A loud musical sound are coming from the tower.
Deruth suddenly attacked. So fast that his body doesn't change position in ripen eyes. Fully countering his foresight. Ripen vomit a blood. He grab his knife and attack deruth using his foresight to hit him. But.
the slash go through deruth like he disappear for moment and go back in the same position. With an unbelievable speed.
*Beep.. shirayukime style was active* this is no longer a fight. This is one sided murder.
"You can see the future but you can't chnage it.."
Deruth attack ripen with combination of "area takeover" and "herman style move the despair" it made a small circle around them to minimize the area damages to increase the attack far more stronger inside the circle who act as shield. To control the impact.
In that powerful attack ripen stomach was totally destroyed. His body fall in the tower. He can't believe he lost. Without able to fight back. Ripen can't accept his defeat he falls in the tower.
"Why youre so strong... I worked hard.. yet"
Deruth detected the armed enemy holding a magic guns was coming for him. ripen didn't came alone. Deruth can't get out of the tower. The tower was the limited sources of his power. deruth fixed his bloody gloves and says
"Its time to play. A strategy game"
