"So...today I'm going to Shuichiro,Butei and the Monzu's home,okay?" asked Tomoe at the start of the day.

  "We don't really have a choice,do we?" asked Honzu.

  "Nope."

  Tomoe had taught the class as normal and at the end of the day he walked with Shuichiro back to his house.

  "What type of people are your parents anyway?"

  "You don't know,Teacher Tomo?"

  "Nope."

  "I thought you met them."

  "All I did was run to Russia and apologize to them."

  "People usually don't run country-to-country."

  "Actually,why does everyone have a Japanese-sounding name despite most of you not being from Japan?"

  "You don't know?"

  "I wouldn't be asking if I did."

  "Well,the Monzu's and I have Japanese sounding names because we our ancestors were from Japan but had to move. In Butei's and the others case, I'm unsure."

  "Oh yeah,you,Monz Trio and Butei all come from Russia,right?"

  "I don't think they would like you calling them Monz..." Shuichiro said worriedly. Though,he was happy that he didn't have to answer Tomoe's questions.

  "Don't be so worried."

  "This is my house." They stopped in front of a house with a steampunk-vibe.

  "Your place is pretty old. Even 2 centuries ago it would be old."

  "I've been interested in steampunk and other engineering things since I was young."

  "Oh yeah.Your father's an engineer,right?"

  "So you did know."

  "That's beside the point. By the way,why did you use a katana during our fight?"

  "It was a last resort. My other weapons weren't ready."

  "Are you gonna let me in?"

  "Oh yeah,let's go i-" 

Shuichiro walked in to see a scared old man with a beard so magnificent (long) that it reached the floor whilst crouching. He also found a young lady who was just as scared as the man. These 2 people were Shuichiro's parents.

  "T-T-Tan...Your teacher is s-scary." said Ms. Shuichiro.

  "Pmfff...Tan..." and Tomoe wasn't responding to Ms or Mr Shuichiro because he was too busy laughing at Shuichiro Tanaka's nickname.

  "Teacher Tomo?"

  "What?"

  "Did you carry my parents across the ocean?"

  "Of course not. The water wouldn't be able to handle that weight. No matter how skilled I am with magic."

  "May I ask how did they get here."

  "C'mon,don't be so formal."

  "..."

Tomoe sighed. "I threw them and then caught them on the other side."

The first thought that came into Shuichiro's mind was, 'You threw them over 6,000 km?!' but he didn't ask it because his mind was interrupted by his second question. 'How are my parents not dead yet?'

  "I knew Se's were strong but...but not that strong."

  "What do you mean,Father?"

  "Are you formal with everyone,Shuichiro?"

  "So what does he mean,Teacher Tomo."

  "Weow. Ignored me completely. You know how my name is 'Tomoe Se Fate',right?" Shuichiro nodded. "The 'Se' part of that is my family name. We got super popular about 3 centuries ago because of my pops."

  "Wait,how old was your father?"

  "I don't know. Never cared enough to find out."

  "Seriously?"

  "Anyway,let's talk." Tomoe had started talking to Shuichiro's parents and after another hour or so they had calmed down and they finally had a normal conversation.

  "Next,Monz-" A lady high-kicked him but stopped right in front of his face. "You're quite unfriendly,Mrs. Chicken."

  "It's Kitchen. You idiot." She then kicked him in the stomach.

  "It takes one to know one,right?"

  "Teach! She'll kill you!" shouted Shizu.

  "Oi,kids. Shut up."

  "Yes!"

  "I'm not planning on fighting. You're their aunt,right?"

The Monzu trio stay with their aunt and Uncle. Uncle Alexander and Aunt Kitch (Kitchen). Their aunt is kinda violent so they became delinquents so they can then survive the war zone of their home.

  "You came to talk about the kids,right?"

  "Yeah,but to be honest,with what I've seen I'm surprised that you're not calling them brats."

  "And I'm surprised you're not more hurt."

  "I've been hit with worse things in that place."

  It was a short visit. Tomoe was content with that

  "Oi,teacher."

  "Is something wrong,Mrs. Chick?"

She was thinking, 'I'm so gonna kill you someday...' but she asked, "When's the meeting with the other parents?"

  "I plan to test them at least once more before the meeting so a month should do it."

  "Only a month? They've barely recovered,you coward."

  "They chose this path. If they can't do it then they can just quit."

  "You know..." She took out her cigarette to show that she's serious. "I really wonder what happened to you for you to be like this. My parents told me stories about Se's but,you're weak."

  "...It was nice to meet you,Mrs. Kitchen."

  "Finally,Buttei."

  "I don't know why but I've been having this aching feeling that you've been making fun of people's names,Master Tomoe."

  "Wait,when did you start calling me Master?"

  "I realized that the only way for me to be a better leader is to learn from a leader so I've decided to become your disciple."

  "You're already my student. There's no need to go a level higher.And who told you I was a leader?"

  "My parents. And a woman."

  "A woman?"

  "She said she was your friend."

  "Where is she?"

  "She went out to buy some food with John."

  "Oh yeah,you're...But Ei's mother,right?"

  "My name isn't Ei..."

Butei's mother then proceeded to get on the floor and bow to Tomoe.

  "We heard...the war is imminent,right?"

  "...I think I know who this 'woman' is. You're correct. So why are you bowing?"

  "I want you to accept Kyoji as your disciple so he won't die in the war!"

  "...Die in the war?"

  "Have you not been training them to fight in the war?"

  "I've been training them to make my job easier. All I have to do is fight Lucilfer after all."

  "Oh..."

  "But...Ei."

  "You made that pun on purpose,didn't you?"

  "Do you really want to be my disciple?"

Butei was ignoring Tomoe because he was busy writing notes about Tomoe.

  "...If you want to,then fight me."

  Butei then threw the pen he was using at Tomoe. He caught it but because his hand was in the way he couldn't see Butei who then low-kicked to make him fall.

Tomoe used his hand to immediately jump back up but Butei was already prepared and had a broken vase pointing at Tomoe's neck.

  "You're good but,did you forget magic existed?"

Tomoe then punched him in the stomach and kicked away the broken vase. He then jumped back and pointed a finger-gun at Butei. Butei activated his MET and disappeared. Tomoe then coughed blood.

  "Oh yeah,you use fisticuffs,right?"

  "Yes."

  "Then,I'll use my weapo-"

  "He'll die if you do,and you know that,Tomoe."

  "So it was you,Gumn."

  "I told you not to call me that! It sounds way too manly. I am still a lady,you know."
