Emperor's Reckoning

Lyon's mouth twitched wildly as a hand of a maiden gripped his right shoulder. He could feel the devilish jealousy seeping from her every breath. Her nails embedded his skin as a bit of blood could be seen splurting out.

(H-hey, isn't she kinda too strong now?!).

The principal coughed, "Alright, safe your households quarrel for later."

Luna immediately turned frigid as her cheeks flushed red. She quickly retracted her hand and looked down embarrassed.

Though the rumor of them going out was spreading inside the academy, her action further proven the theory. Not to mention that Luna was actually a princess that would without a doubt succeed the throne of her father later, the man was a once in a generation genius. The couple surely had been destined to be together.

Lyon looked at the principal which was Luna's uncle with a nod.

The principal also nodded in response.

This was one of the codes of being a man. If a brother is in trouble, one is obliged to help the bro out of the woe.

*splurt

His body had a lag before the wound from Luna's jealousy gripped splurt like a fountain. It even splashed the students behind him including Jugen who directly sat behind him.

Suddenly the atmosphere turned silent as the principal lightly tip-toed. The students furrowed their eyebrows while they were wiping Lyon's blood that stained their clothing. What was the principal waiting for?

So far, he only announced four people to join the Crown while the requirement was five. Who would have such capabilities to contend with these four and not dragged them down? They couldn't think of any name at all.

By far, the four candidates were the cream of the crop. There wasn't a fifth since the gap of their strength was too far away. One decision would be to just bring a cannon fodder to fulfill the requirement but that wouldn't be unfair for the unlucky one.

Tik Tok, the clock was ticking as they entered the silent mode for a good minute. Lyon lightly tapped the desk as he lazily put his head on top of the table.

The students in the back row whispering to themselves.

"Oi, why the principal stopped announcing?"

"Hell should I know, but I do have a theory."

"What theory,"

*whisper

"No way, right?"

"Just do it!"

The student suddenly stood up as he slapped his desk, "Ah! We don't have a fifth member!"

The principal proudly smiled, "I know you would say that!" as he pointed out at the student.

The students in the back row looked at each other (Well damn, he was waiting for that sentence to come up before continuing?! Is he stupid?).

"Hahaha, indeed, who would have the power, the TALENT, to contend with our prestigious four? None! At least not in our academy," smirked the principal.

"Then, along with my second announcement, I personally welcomed you the new transfer student!"

His last couple of words sent the entire students into shock. Lyon immediately put up his head as he glanced at the door. There was a shadow, an outline of a slim figure standing behind the door. (A woman? A woman!).

Luna furrowed her eyebrows as she could make out the gender the person behind the door was. She immediately turned her head and squinted her eyes against Lyon.

"Oh, you all know her name alright, she was quite famous before Lyon stole the spotlight," teased the principal.

The students immediately wondered but Luna already had an inkling toward her identity. A name that used to bring fear to her peers.

Jugen contemplated before a certain name appeared his mind. (No way, right? He even got her here?).

Lyon immediately racked his brain but no name came up whatsoever. From the figure alone he knew she was a beauty but nothing really came up. He furrowed his eyebrows as he contemplated. He was sweating before a light shone upon his mind. (Is it Riku?).

The swordswoman from the Mist clan was a formidable person. Though she was still in training her master was none other than the beautiful beast, Ryona. However, though she lost the mock battle, she was indeed acknowledged by Reka the master of the Mist clan as core disciples.

He shook his head. According to the explanation she was famous before he stole her spotlight. He didn't remember stealing anything from her, well, at least, definitely not her spotlight.

"Without further ado, please come in," said the principal Argeon.

The door opened as the figure slowly walked in. The students immediately recognized her from the moment she revealed her face. Luna nodded as her assumption was right. Jugen sat back as he too managed to guess the identity.

However, Lyon couldn't make any head or tails about the woman in front of him. He kinda felt that she was present during the time not long after his appearance in this world but he forgot exactly when.

Clad in blue clothing of a ranger suit, she had a dagger on her waist as her short pants revealed her slim thighs. She had a stature like Luna and bearing like one too, but she was somehow more cool-headed. Her black hair draped around her shoulder as she had a little pony on her forehead.

"Good morning," said the girl with a bow.

"Please, introduce yourself," smiled the principal.

"Yes," the girl nodded, "My name is Xiaxia, please take good care of me."

Lyon opened his eyes wide. That name was familiar, it was indeed famous. She managed to embed her name to the Deo's monument! A glorious achievement that was soon eclipsed by him.

Argeon nodded, "That's right, she will be the fifth member!"

The students immediately rejoiced, "With her joining us, the academy, no, Deo will finally spearhead the glory!"

"Xiaxia,"

"Luna,"

*spark

Lyon glanced to the right as he could feel the tension between them. (How many rivals do you have Luna?!).

The proud star of the Meistas Kingdom finally joined the adventure.
