CHAPTER 2, FIRST BATTLE

I was using Scutum to shield me with his power but I may need to bust out a Familiar at this rate. The attacks were not stopping, I guess I have no choice, I've already taken damage after all, a cut on the shoulder and left leg. I reached for the keys in my pocket and took out the Taurus key. "Open, Gate of the Bull Familiar, Taurus." I opened Taurus' Gate and he appeared beside me.

"Move!" He said as he swung his axe at Sagittarius.

"My word, a Familiar! And a Zodiac for that matter!" Geo shouted. "But it isn't a Medium but a key? What could this mean?"

"Taurus, he is the one, isn't he? Sagittarius asked Taurus as they fought but Taurus stayed silent.

"Come, the Crab Familiar, Cancer." Free opened another gate a man with a black jacket and white shirt with jeans and shoes appeared, he had a gun with red hair that was sort and black eyes with brown skin. "Shoot him."

"Ice Shot." Cancer shot the gun hesitantly, I can feel it, the sadness in the Familiars who serve him, they hate him more than anyone else.

"Open, Gate of the Lion Familiar, Leo." I opened Leo's Gate and he appeared beside me as I held the Hoshikawa in my hand.

"My word, he can summon two as well. How will this match end I wonder!?" An excited Geo screamed over the mic.

"Keep the Familiars busy, I'll deal with the summoner." I told the two and attacked the man with the whip and he winced at the pain.

"Understood." They answered as I charged at the summoner, just then he held a third Medium. "That's!The Scorpio Medium!"

"Scorpio, poison him." He said as another Familiar appeared, this time the Familiar had black hair with light brown skin and amber eyes, with a white lab coat and a white long-sleeved polo shirt and black jeans with shoes and glasses.

"V-very well." He said and released a strong poison into the air.

"Oh no! A powerful poison has been released, what will Mr. Morganite do?" Geo asks over the mic.

"Haru-kun!" Ella called out while the three other fiancees just watched.

"What in the world!?" Free exclaimed, seeing as how I'm just standing with a smile. "How are you not down!?"

"I worked as an herbalist before I became an adventurer, so basically I was raised in a house full of poisonous herbs and so I have grown accustomed to them to the point where only high grade poison can affect me." I smiled at him, well that's not completely true, I'm actually immune to any poison, mom and dad made me eat herbs since I was child as part of my training so I grew immune to poison.

"Make it stronger you fool." He ordered Scorpio and I saw a lock on Scorpio's neck and so he released a stronger poison.

"By the power I bear, I order you, return to the hidden world, Relieve." I casted the spell for banishing Familiars back into the spirit Realm where most of them live.

"H-how, he was my spirit!?" He, who saw the spirit he summoned disappear panicked.

Of course he would, that spell, Absolute Order, allows me to order the Familiars of different summoners to do my will. It's one of my powers as the Hero. No Familiar can defy my words but I didn't want to use this power because it seems to hurt the Familiars a bit. "By the power I bear, I order you, seal your strength, Restrict." I casted the spell on the two Familiars and they fell on the ground so my Familiars held them down.

"You...! Come, the Fox Familiar, V-Vulpecula." He summoned another Familiar and a man, with red hair that had white tips, red eyes and white skin wearing a red shirt with black pants and boots appeared. "Use illusionary magic!"

"Understood." Vulpecula answered and just then he saw me and immediately fell on the grounds on his knees in a sieza. I guess it must be that, I recall Leo saying my new title would cause low ranked spirits to bow before me. "F-forgive me!"

"What are you doing you fool!?" Free shouted and he was about to hit Vulpecula and I stopped his hand. "What are you doing!?"

"Stopping you." I said and kicked his stomach and he fell on the ground and I took his shoulder band. "You said that I could take something from you if you lost right?"

"Y-yeah." He answered as he bared his fangs at his Familiars.

"I'll take your Familiars. They were originally my family's either way." I said with a cold glare. "What do you guys say, want to come with me?"

"Y-yes!" The three answered and since he couldn't go back on his word, he handed me all the Mediums he had.

Cancer the Crab, Scorpio the Scorpion, Sagittarius the Archer, Vulpecula the Fox, Lynx the Lynx, Volans the Dragonfly and Tucana the Toucan. If there was another the Medium it would've left his body, I took the Mediums and left the battle field. "Next time, when you meet a Familiar, you'd better be nicer to them otherwise you'll hear it from me." I warned him as the three Familiars disappeared and I left the arena.

In the entrance hall, I held the Mediums in my hands, with this all Twelve Zodiac Familiars have gathered. I'll rewrite your spell so wait a bit, please. I'll definitely feel this in the morning, I used too much magical energy; I did use Absolute Order while I kept two gates open after all. I need to be very careful, I might overdo it. I went to join the others in the viewing deck and I immediately got a hug from Aria, and Yue even gave me a cheek kiss. I held their hands and wished that Ella and Asami were here too. I've taken the medicine for the headache and I felt memories flooding my head, relatives of the Tsuki Family? I see, this time it's about my uncle, aunts, cousins and close relatives.

The next game will be between Silver from Shooting Star against an old friend of mine, Ryuu Akechi from Clear Sky, I met him when I was still a child, he is one of the few relatives I have or so the memories tell me. He is... a first cousin if it's right. He had black hair, white skin and azure eyes.

The fight then began and we watched carefully, I looked on wondering what kind of summoned beasts Silver would use.

This part will be a third person P.O.V.

With the gongs sound, the fight between the two begun. Taking action immediately, Silver summoned his contracted beasts, a Genbu. With a black snake cooled around it a giant turtle with green scales and a golden shell appeared. The snake repeatedly tried to bite Ryu but he immediately punched it back and it took damaged. Ryu's form had changed, he had dragon wings and tail.

"That magic, it's Dragon Magic right?" Queen from the Shooting Stars asked Clover.

"Yeah." He answered her.

"My word, how will this match play out?" Geo asked in a hyped voice as the crowd got excited all the more.

"I hope he does well." Zephyr who had light blue hair, sea green eyes and white skin asked her fellow guild members, she was from the Clear Sky guilds.

"He'll be fine." Glimmer, who was from the same guild answered her, she had purple hair with sparkly sapphire blue eyes and white skin. "After all, he is someone who is related to the Hero."

The match went on without delay, the two clashed and with his sheath sword, Ryu attacked the Genbu, it was cut in half. The technique is a secret technique used by the Akechi Family, the Sheath Sword Slash. He then charged at Silver but Silver created a barrier around himself. The game continued on and Silver summoned a snake, the snake coiled around Ryu and it hit him with it's tail sending him to the wall of the arena. He stood up and charged at the enemy with his sword. "Moon-Style Swordplay, Sheath Broad Sword." He said as he ran the lenght of the snake and it was cut in half without the need for him to unsheath his sword. He charged at the enemy and defeated them in one fell swoop.

Author Note: Back to Haru.

The game was very close, that technique is from the same principle style as mine, Moon-Style Swordplay, Sheathed Sword Style. It's a strong style too but also dangerous, unless your sword's sheath isn't sturty, it'll break easily

After that it was lunch time, it was decided that all guilds would eat in the same place, the Great Hall. After lunch there were no more games. We all gathered in the Great Hall, I haven't seen this many guilds in the same place before. "Yo, long time no see." Clover called out to me.

"Yeah, long time no see." I answered him. "How have you been?"

"Let's see, worried and angry at you for making us worry!" He said and pinched my cheek.

"Sorry so please stop it." I said and he let go of my cheek.

"Hey cutie, what's your name?" A man who had the Happy Phantasy guild's insignia on his neck asked Asami, he had black hair, brown skin and amber eyes, he wore a shirt that was fitted to his skin and he had black pants and shorts, he also wore a black jacket.

"Asami-chan, over here." Aria called out to her but the man wouldn't stop.

"Asami, come here." I called out to her releasing a cold glare and the man let go of her so she came in running for a hug. "Ott~o, what's this?"

"I'm so glad you won!" She said hugging me tightly, I hugged her back and I noticed certain guys had their eyes on her. I better keep them in check. Smiling coldly at the men who stare at her, I kissed Asami's lips and makingbsure it was seen by the men who looked at her. "There's no way I would lose when my fiancees are cheering for me."

"My... Haru, rather daring today aren't we?" Dia said as she teased me while the three other fiancees had jealous expression.

"I am rather possessive of what's mine." I said and opened my arms out to the three other fiancees and they came charging in for a hug. "Don't worry about things like appearance and opinions, if you need attention just say so."

"Understood." Aria said as I petted their heads.

"Someone sure is lucky to have four fiancees!!" Silver teased.

"They'll be more, in the end it'll total of fifteen." Neph said with a jealous tone.

"None the less from Haru." Queen laughed.

We all ate lunch together and we got to know the other guild members as well. Some of them have known each other for a while and some have yet to meet. I'm truly glad to have joined this guild.
