No matter how long they searched, they found no one. The trio went back to their apartment. Meanwhile, Tomoe said he was going to meet an old friend so he went his own way. He went into an alleyway and climbed up the wall of an apartment. Once he got to the top, he saw Nakate Highschool to his left, and the other 10 schools around him, albeit, very far away. Their height or lack thereof of it, made them easily visible from anywhere.
In front of him, was a vast ocean. Across the almost endless sea, there was a silhouette. It was coming closer at an extremely fast speed. It then leaped from the water and landed next to Tomoe. The man tripped a little, but was able to catch his footing and not fall off.

  "Been a long while, hasn't it, Tom?" the man who had just arrived was wearing an outfit which looked like a shinto priest's. A long white garment, with a skirt-like thing at the very bottom leading to the ankles. He was also wearing geta, wooden sandals. The part about him that stood out the most was his milky-white eyes and katana kept to his side.

  "It has. So, how did you know my email?"

  "All 11 schools are required to show the contact info and birthdate of all the teachers. So people know that they are trustworthy."

  "Am I untrustworthy?"

  "No. It's just that, the majority of the students there are staying in dorms and without guardians so, they wouldn't want to be put with predatory teachers, correct?"

  "Hm. I guess so. Why did you want to meet me?"

  "You're here to kill me, aren't you? The other Taize and I."

  "...I've always hated the fact your assumptions were scarily on point. Do I need to duel you to keep your mouth shut?" Tomoe put himself in a fighting stance. Ready to take his scythe out at any moment.

  "Ehhh. That's an interesting idea. Then, one month from now. Bring your students, and we'll fight it out with them. The odds would finally be even then, right?"

  "Tch. You and her are the exact same. Looking down on everyone."

  "I don't look down on people. I simply state the fact that you can't beat me. Maybe others could though."

  "Do not get cocky just because of what happened at Verflucht. Do not forget you didn't do all of it alone."

  "My, do you want some of the fame too? We're always happy to accept you into our ranks."

  "I thought you didn't want to fight me because I'm weak."

  "You are. But just like me, if you gain Rign powers, you can ascend so much higher. So, how about it?"

  "...I'll see you in a month." Tomoe then walked away.

  "You or I, Tomoe. One of us dies if you don't turn into a Rign, is that honestly what you want?"

  Tomoe was being interrogated at the gate by Butei and everyone around him just stared. Well, I say 'interrogated' but it's more of a scolding. He was angry that Tomoe threw Hans the day before, and was now attacking him.

"Gosh, I said I'm sorry..."

"THAT ISN'T F****NG GENUINE! GET YOUR ACT TOGET-"

"My my, the cool-headed leader is getting his head all hung up, is he?" Butei's shouting was interrupted by a group of people. The main guy was, average. Weirdly average. His eyes were black and so was his hair. He tried looking intimidating but, it just came off as weird. He came with a shiny-red blade, with it's hilt being a Fult.

"Tch, what do you want, you failure."

"..." He then rushed at Butei. "I HAVE A NAME YOU KNOW, IT'S NICHOLAS, NICHOLAS JAC-" As the blade was about to slash at Butei, Tomoe pushed him out of the way and used his hand to block it.

"Nicholas Jacobs from Kyuukate, correct?"

"H-how are-?"

"It hurts. It feels like my skin is being burnt off." Tomoe said while smiling straight at Nick. Flames started coming out of Tomoe's hand, and even a bit of his arm. "But, there's been worse. And, some fake heat like this wouldn't do anything." He then broke the blade and when he did, a flame came out of it and hit Nick in the face.

"AHHHHHHH. IT BURNS. SOMEONE HELP. AGHHHHGAHHGAHHHH."

"There's plenty of eyewitnesses and even camera's saying you started the fight. And even after that, there's the burn mark on my hand. Unless you want to go to a juvenile detention center, I say you go to a hospital, get that fixed, and never come back. Alright?" Nick just wriggled in pain as his friends stood in shock. Tomoe proceeded to head to class and Butei and the others, after some hesitation, followed him.

They thought, "This is the kind of power, he wants to teach to us? Isn't it...something that can never be used for good? Aeq?"

"Everyone, I have a sort of, emergency announcement. It includes a field trip, to mainland Japan."
