1 Prologue

The academy laid in ruins as it continued to burn to a cinder, the exotic white marble walls paled in comparison to the orange inferno that practically engulfed the entire school. In the courtyard young teenage girls were scattered across the floor many of them were impaled with spikes that resembled hardened blood.

"Ryouka!" A pinked hair girl with crimson red eyes rushed into the courtyard weapon in hand, her white and black academy dress had been bloodied and dirted from earlier.

She held a redheaded girl in her arms clearly hurt, "Kizuna, what are you doing here?!" she said as she coughed up blood.

"I came to help" Kizuna replied. She looked towards the centre of the courtyard to see dozens of liquid blood tendrils aimlessly swaying about at the epicentre of this manifestation stood a man with a crazed look in his eye the other covered by his hand. The cloak he wore covered most of his body except for the black boots.

The fear started to grow in Kizuna never having come face to face with such a person before, the tendrils emanating from him reminded her of the Higanbana that they always ordered to fight whenever they launched an attack. Some of Kizuna's fellow students started to stir awake picking themselves up clearly beaten and bloodied from their previous battle with this guy.

"That snivelling brat Hazer, couldn't even finish the job..." he turned his gaze to Kizuna a look of pleasurable satisfaction appeared on his face "...no matter, that just means there's more fun for me!" he let loose a crazed laugh.

"It's still...not over...yet" a student exclaimed.

A look of unamused bewilderment clearly covered the guy's face, "Huh?"

"We...can't...lose here" she continued.

"That's right we still trust and believe in one another!" another student shouted, she ran into the courtyard not long after Kizuna arrived her golden brown braided hair swaying in the heavy wind.

A devilish smirk appeared on his face, "Oh really? Let's put that to the test shall we..." he removed the hand that been covering his one eye to reveal a blackened pupil with a blood-red dragon iris as blood slowly poured from his eye socket "...who's resolve will prevail?! The love and trust of the Ume Knight's..." he let out an evil giggle for a moment "...or my hatred for everything that exists in this universe"

The Ume Knight's that were still capable of fighting back readied themselves for another battle many of them still fearful of their opponent, but not willing to give in to it knowing they still had a chance to beat him.

He hovered into the air as he shouted, "Blood Sacrifice!" with his hand out in front of him he manipulated the many tendrils he had at his disposal aiming them at the Ume Knight's that stood between him and his ultimate goal.
