The beloved prince and princess stood outside the castle, with the fountain water reflecting their image, 

 

‘I believed you, Yul. That you would keep your promise, that you would be victorious and come back to me.’ Miyoung spoke softly

 

‘So, you have keep your promise.’ Miyoung said shyly, as she clenched both of her hands together in front of her chest and looked away

 

‘Miyoung’ Yul said surprisingly, as Miyoung leaned on her tippy toes to gain more height towards Yul

 

Yul softly cupped her cheeks before leaning in capturing her precious lips, before he knew what would happened next, the way he envisioned was far from his expectation 

 

Yuri was laying on a bed, a lady with blonde hair captured Yuri’s lip in reality instead of Miyoung in his vision. 

 

‘Your lips are like a kid’s lips.’ Yuri thought

 

Yuri woke up to his senses and saw a pair of lips that belonged to a …child?

 

The girl got up from her previous position which was laying on Yuri, she hoped off him 

‘Uh, who are you?’ Yuri questioned

 

‘Your hurt’s gone, right?’ The girl spoke clinging onto Principal Sunny

 

‘Principal’ Yuri said after realising her existences

 

‘Yoona just sent in mana from your lips to replenish what you’s lost.’ Sunny explained

 

‘Then i just kissed…’Yuri began as he looked at Yoona who was half the size of Principal Sunny, as she hid behind her

 

‘MHHHMMM..MMHHH’ A noise was created behind the curtains 

 

‘Oh, Tiffany’ Sunny began, as she revealed Tiffany who was all tied up then sat to a chair and preventing her from any moment or attempted from noise coming out from her tantrum. 

 

‘I don’t approve of illicit ual relationship , so I’m keeping her quiet for a while.’ She continued as Tiffany began squirming around and eventually fell from her seat causing the Yoona to poke her once a while, as Sunny questioned Yuri.

 

‘You’re an Ancient Dragon, aren’t you?’ She asked as Yuri faced her chest with a confused look

 

‘The people of the Japan branch of the White Knight Agency call it the oldest war dead spirit.’ 

 

‘The oldest?’ Yuri mumbled 

 

‘Saviors are all reincarnated with past lives, it’s been hypothesised for a long time that there maybe be some Saviors that have not one but two past lives.’ Sunny explained

 

‘Wait a second, I’d finally remember about my past life as a warrior and now a second?’ Yuri began rumbling on his confusion 

 

‘When you swung your sword down for the your last strike, you used the Step Three Dark Art. Anyway, you have no physical injuries, you’re lucky you fought in the arena.’ Sunny began finishing her explanation and stood up

 

‘Right.’ Yuri nodded 

 

‘Go back to your dorm and get some rest.’ She commanded 

 

‘I’m reading poor fortune with women.’ Yoona budded in as she wrapped her arms around Sunny’s waist 

 

‘Your should be careful.’ Yonna spoke, meaning Tiffany as she was wriggling along the ground

 

‘Huh?’

 

‘Don’t forget to take this writhing classmate of yours with you when you go.’ Sunny added on before leaving the clinic with Yoona

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————

 

 

‘Yul!’ Tiffany sprung onto Yuri

 

‘Thank goodness! You remember everything now, don’t you?’ Tiffany questioned him with happiness

‘No, not really everything.’ He replied nervously 

 

‘Oh right, the promise.’ She remembered and attempted to peck Yuri’s luscious lips

 

‘Oh look, an ugly, washed up octopus.’ Jessica budded in from the distance witness the attempts of Tiffany

 

’S-Stop showing up out of nowhere, Yuri and I were about to have our promised…promised…kiss.’ Tiffany stuttered as she pressed both of the tips of her pointing finger together and had her down in shame

 

‘Something like this?’ Jessica spoke and walked dangerously towards Yuri with her hands out really to captured some lips

 

Jessica cupped Yuri’s face and sealed his luscious lips ignore the commotion from Tiffany in the background pointing fingers and shouting at her

 

‘Look, the octopus is boiling over.’ She smirked

 

‘Hey, what are you doing to my Yul?!’ She rambled on

 

While that was happening Yoona from previously starred from a distance and mumbled ‘I knew it, ill fortune with women.’

Classroom

 

‘That’s my third number, after Dad and Mom!’ Tiffany exclaimed with passion after exchanging her number and address with Yuri

 

‘Congratulations on your heat wrenching level up, Tiffany.’ Jessica praised her

 

‘I get it, I’m a loner.’ Tiffany faced Jessica with a sad expression

 

‘I’m kidding, trade with me too.’ Jessica said holding up her phone facing towards Tiffany

 

’S-sure, I guess.’ The told held their phone next to each other as the information is being transferred 

 

‘Shoot, my hand slipped. I deleted it.’ Jessica said with a resting face with her hand covering

 

‘You want a fight, Jessica?’ Tiffany boiled up 

 

‘To the regular beauty shop, then.’ Jessica added

 

Tiffany was hit by the phrase and was knocked down, losing all her energy 

 

‘Click’

 

‘Is Kwon Yuri here?’ A certain voiced called out gaining everyone’s attention

 

‘That’s me’ Yuri slightly lifted his hand

 

‘AHHHHH’ The majority of the girls in the classroom screamed with a blushed face looking at a certain fine gentleman who called out for Yuri

 

Could you come with me for a but?’ He asked Yuri with manners 

 

‘You, too Jessica Jung.’ He mentioned 

 

‘Huh, huh’ Tiffany mumbled as she looked back and forth from Yuri and Jessica

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————

 

Roof top

 

‘Rank C you say?’ Yurii asked confusingly

 

‘The principal recommend you, as well and I watched your fighting in the arena. My younger brother caused you some trouble.’ Jackson spoke 

 

‘As a Rank C, you’ll have some pay in the form of scholarships, and you’ll  be guaranteed employment at the White Knight Agency after you graduate.’ He informed 

 

‘But theres a down side.’ Yuri budded in

 

‘I see, you’re not only strong, you’re also smart.’ 

 

‘That’s correct, when you become Rank C, you’re required to become one of my Strikers.’

 

‘Strikers?’ Yuri questioned

 

‘A real combat troop of anti metaphysical fighters, you serve only once or twice a month, but there been deaths in the past. You can have some time to think it over.’ Jackson finished explaining the details

 

‘So the pay, the scholarship, roughly how much I get?’ Yuri said

 

Jackson came forward and whispered a certain amount causing Yuri’s eyes to widened before commenced cheering for himself

 

‘I-I did it auntie’ He mumbled

 

‘You’re content with that?’ Jessica crossed her arms facing Yuri

 

‘Looking forward ti working with you, hyung!’ Yuri said bowing 90 degrees 

 

‘Welcome’ Jackson said smiling

 

‘I’ll show up starting today, too then.’ Jessica said 

 

‘Huh?’ Causing Yuri to suspect something

 

‘We’ve been asking Jessica to join as a reserve, see you after school.’ Jackson said

 

‘Let me in, too!’’ Tiffany shouted out of nowhere 

 

‘Um, who are you?’ Jackson questioned 

 

‘If Yuri and Jessica are joining, I have to join, too!’ Tiffany exclaimed

 

‘I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I don’t know anything about your ability.’ He said putting his hands in his pocket

 

‘Her ability is enough for her to suffer a total loss against your brother.’ Jessica budded in

 

‘Jessica!’ Tiffany yelled

 

‘I think it’s too soon for you to even the reserves, I’m sorry.’ Jackson said trying to nicely implied she wasn’t capable due to her lack of ability

 

‘No way’ Tiffany mumbled

 

‘Well then’ Jackson said before leaving the three

 

‘Hey, Tiffany” Yuri began

 

‘I’m not upset or anything’ Tiffany spoke before running away from her shame

 

‘I’m going to get stronger really fast, and I’ll be standing right next to you, seeing your back!’ She shouted before disappearing 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————

 

‘I’ll give a formal greeting, welcome to the troop, Kwon Yuri and Jessica Jung.’ Jackson spoke to the other members 

 

‘Our third years from last year graduated, so we’re glad to have more forces.’ A girl with large spoke as it jiggled

 

‘He’s not bad looking’ Another female budded in

 

‘I’ll work you good, so be prepared!’ Another guy budded in

 

‘Okay’ Yuri stood there

 

‘All right let’s begin.’ Jackson commanded 

 

The members formed a 4 columns of line, Jackson started off ‘We are the swords of salvation’

 

‘We are the Saviors! We are the strike for our people, our peace and our justice.’ Everyone memorised excepted for Yuri and Jessica

 

‘Do I have to shout that, too?’ Pointing to himself

 

‘You should’ Jackson smiled at him as Yuri nodded

 

‘All right, one more.’

 

Before they all repeated the saying

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————

 

‘Suzy unnie’s generation is called the golden generation, they defeated more metaphysicals than anyone in the japan branch.’ Jessica began explaining the members

‘So they’re stronger than the adults in the White Knight Agency.’ Yuri spoke

 

‘Yes, most of home surpassed Rank B’ Jessica informed

 

‘Can I really keep up in a place like that?’ Yuri questioned himself

 

‘You’ll be fine’ Jessica insured him

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————

 

‘I’m beat.’ Yuri began after training one to one combat with Jackson

 

‘You’re late’ Tiffany spoke standing in front of Jessica and Yuri as they both walked down the hill

 

‘Hey, I found a good cafe, let’s go’ She commanded

 

‘Sorry, go alone if you wish.’ Jessica spoke

 

Causing the two to look at her

 

‘Yuri and I are both extremely tired, we want to hurry home and rest’ Jessica began

 

‘Well..I’ Before Yuri could say anything

 

‘We’re going to have exercises everyday , I believed being rested and ready for the next day is part of what you’re being paid for.’ Jessica finished explaining

 

‘Okay’ Tiffany said

 

‘Sorry, I should have known better.’ Tiffany said hiding her pain inside

 

‘It’s not your fault, but we’re going to be late every night from now on and so I think we’ll end up disappointing you, even if you wait for us.’Jessica continued her words

 

‘But can I call you guys to hang out on break days, at least?’ Tiffany said holding in her tears

 

‘You’re very welcome, right Yuri?’ Jessica agreed 

 

‘Like i said, I..’ 

 

‘Okay’ Tiffany butted in and ran off

 

‘Hey Tiffany’ Yuri attempted to gain her attention before she wonder off

 

‘Why would you say something like that?’ Yuri looked at Jessica

 

“you want money that you earn yourself, don’t you? You adore Tiffany, don’t you? I just took that into consideration so you don’t have to lose, either.’ Jessica said

 

‘That’s no the point, I don't like the way you act like you’re willing to get yours dirty for me and thanks for backing me up. But keep in mind that it doesn’t make me happy to have a girl take crap for me. If anything, make me happy by smiling for me.’ Yuri smiled before running off to catch up to Tiffany

 

‘I thought you’d say that.’ Jessica mumbled 

 

‘Jessica’s keep up, but I..’ Tiffany sniffled 

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————

 

‘Ring Ring’

 

‘Hey it’s me, can you go out with me for a bit?’ Tiffany spoke

 

‘Sorry, there’s already someone I like’ Jessica replied with a dead voice

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Shopping Centre

‘What a weird day’ Tiffany stared at the ceiling

 

‘So why did you call me out to a place like this?’ Jessica question

 

‘You said I’m welcome if it’s on a break, didn’t you?’

 

‘Did I?’ Jessica said

 

‘Anyway, I want to get Yuri a present to congratulate him on his promotion to Rank C.’ Tiffany explained

 

‘So why did I have to come?’ Jessica butted back

 

‘Because I don’t know what to get him, and I don't have much money this month, so I thought maybe we could get him something together.’ Tiffany informed

 

‘Good bye’ Jessica said waving

 

‘Wait’ Tiffany ran after Jessica and hanged onto Jessica dress

 

‘Good grief…’ Jessica muttered

 

The two went around observing the different store but couldn't find anything in interest 

 

‘I’m tired’ Jessica said as the two sat outside the shopping centre

 

‘Sorry to drag you along’ Tiffany apologised 

 

‘Did you know sweets are good when your tired’

 

‘Huh?’ Tiffany asked confusingly

 

‘Strawberry and banana would be fine’ Jessica commanded

 

‘What?’

 

‘Goodbye’ Jessica stood up waving 

 

‘Okay fine!’ Tiffany stopped her and bought some crepe

 

Tiffany glazed into the clouds ‘ It wont rain, will it?’ 

 

All of a sudden the ground began to shake and cracks were indented in the ground, people were screaming and running

 

 

The water raised up causing it to go above sea level, a gigantic snake rose above the surface as Tiffany watched in horror 

 

‘A metaphysical?’

 

Jessica was also in fear, staring at the metaphysical

 

The metaphysical laid eyes upon a small child crying, Tiffany and Jessica were trembling in fear

 

The metaphysical approached the child

 

‘I’m scared, but I’d be a failure of a sister to my Yul if I ran now.’ Tiffany thought

 

‘Come, Arciel’ Tiffany pulled on her god tag summoning her sword

 

‘I’ll be the one to fight you.’ Tiffany said as she sprinted towards the child

 

‘You better thank me, Jessica, take care of the kids.’ Tiffany informed

 

‘Tiffany, you can’t take it on it alone’ Jessica shouted

 

‘I have to stop it here, that’s right, you’re up against me, don’t go cheating on me.’ Tiffany said before dragging her swords down the head of the metaphysical as Jessica help to take the child from the scene

 

‘Write’ Jessica said writing an enchanted spell

 

‘Who do you think you are, I’m the revered witch of the netherworld, I can support you in no problem.’ Jessica smirked

 

‘Dammit, I don’t need your help, though.’ Tiffany said cockily 

 

‘BOOM’ An explosion was created in the shopping centre

 

Jessica was shooting ice beam at the metaphysical while Tiffany was slicing the body of the metaphysical

 

‘I can do it’ She thought

 

However another metaphysical popped out of nowhere and more metaphysical appeared 

 

‘It’s a hyrdohead’ Jessica said

 

As Tiffany tumbled onto the ground

 

One of the Hydrohead blasted a beam towards Tiffany, lucky for Tiffany, Jessica pushed her out of the way before being turned into stone by the beam unfortunately for Jessica her feet got in the way causing her to not be able to move

 

‘Raise your Plana TIffany’ Jessica informed 

 

‘Bring it on’ Tiffany held her sword facing the hydro head

 

Jessica’s body started to turn into stone, ‘Yuri!’ Tiffany screamed

—————————————————————————————————————————————

 

‘Tell me what’s going on.’ Yuri said to Jackson

 

‘This is bad’ Jackson said

 

‘They’re as high ranked as the metaphysicals that attacked Tokyo Bat, if not higher. There’s never been one with nine head’ Jackson complained

 

‘Then we have to send help quickly.’Yuri butted in

 

‘Jessica and Tiffany are on the scene too’ Yuri continued

 

‘We can’t help them.’ Jackson said breaking Yuri’s word

 

‘It wouldn’t be a match for us if it were an ordinary metaphysical, but it’s not one that we could win against without an army of a hundred.’ Jackson explained as the members had their head in shame

 

‘No way’ Yuri said disbelieving 

 

‘Please understand’Jackson said

 

Yuri was worried and remembered the scene where his parents were nearly dying and had to be rush to the hospital. Yuri wanted to donate his blood to save his parents however he was to young and his parents couldn't be save.

 

Yuri wouldn’t allow another person he had care for die,

 

‘Listen, there re no lives in this world that shouldn’t be valued. How can we call ourselves the swords of salvation if we can’t even save two girls?’ Yuri snapped

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————

 

‘Open your eyes, Jessica’ Tiffany held Jessica as only her head wasn’t turned into stones,

 

‘Jessica!’ Tiffany shouted

 

A shadow overcast them, a tongue of the hydro head wrapped around Tiffany and started to suffocate her

 

‘Yuri!’ Tiffany screamed once more

 

‘Yul isn’t going to praise me at his rate, it’s over’ Tiffany thought as the metaphysical opened it’s mouth ready to demolished her

 

‘Saratiga!’ Yuri summoned his sword as he was falling from mid air and sliced one of the metaphysical that was about to attack Tiffany

 

‘Sorry to keep you waiting’ Yuri smiled at Tiffany

 

Yuri saw how endangered his fellow peers were which cause him to become more determine to destroy all the metaphysical

 

‘HAAA’ Yuri began slicing the metaphysical one by one with blood bursting out 

 

multiple of the metaphysical began to attack him as he dodged 

 

‘It’s okay, you won’t lose, you should have another power’ Jessica exclaimed

 

‘Another power?’ He questioned

 

‘You can do it, don’t hesitate’ Jessica added on

 

Vision

 

Jessica was on the ground helpless as a mysterious man with a mask covered with lightening powers protecting her

 

normal

 

‘I remember, I won’t forgive anyone who takes from me!’ Yuri shouted as he gain a new plana energy

 

‘Write!’ Yuri said enchanting a spell on the hydro head

 

While the hydro head are attempting to attack him mercilessly, Yuri kept avoided each and one of them and entered inside one of the metaphysical’s body and finished enchanting his spell causing the metaphysical to explode

 

‘What’s that?’ Tiffany questioned

 

‘Step Five Dark Art, Black Gehenna’ Jessica explained

 

Yuri was in mid air with a lightning/ fire emerged together in his palm ready to release the power into his sword before attack them

 

‘Ying Yang Kurikara!’ Yuri yelled before a destroying the hydro head with one blast emitting a yellow light source from the blast

 

All was left were parts of the shopping, since the roof was blown off with every level the floor was gone, on left was a damaged building that isn’t able to be used

 

And Jessica’s body turned back to normal as Tiffany was helping Jessica out

 

Parts of the body of the metaphysical were falling from the sky as Sunny and Jackson arrived ay the scene

 

‘I was right about him’ Sunny said

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Rooftops

 

‘HUUUUHHH?!’ Tiffany screamed

 

‘In the reserves?’ She questioned

 

‘You bravely challenged that monster and tried to protect the defenceless, we want someone like you, with a true sense of justice in the Strikers. We really want you’ Jackson commended 

 

‘Me? In the Strikers?’ Tiffany said

 

Jackson just nodded ‘And Yuri, I don't think my decision was wrong, but I believe your decision was also correct. You’ll continue working for the Strikers, won’t you?’ Jackson asked with a hand on Yuri’s shoulder

‘All right, see you at the exercises after school.’ Jackson lifted

 

‘Yay!’ Tiffany squealed and cling onto Yuri’s arm

 

‘I’m not left out anymore, we’re together, Yul, I’m so happy.’ Tiffany said happily 

 

‘Be careful not to drag us down’ Jessica said coldly

 

‘Shut up I’ll fix up your attitude real good, you’d better thank me’ Tiffany said confidently before laughing loudly

 

Jessica just sighed

 

‘So by the way, what were we in our past lives?’ Yuri asked

 

‘Let’s talk about that later.’ Jessica said plainly and left

 

‘Where do miracle happen? In the depth of a forest maze? Up high on a tall tower?’

 

‘Our miracles were right in front of us. Our two past lives, our two memories. The more we remember, the stronger they become.’

 

‘Kwon Yuri, the oldest war dead spirit'
