Hidden Legacy

Chapter 4: Graduation Party.

2 Months has passed. Today is the last day at school. After the Death of Baba, We're given the benefits to skip the last Exam. It's unfortunate that he died. Other classes have to do the Exams. After they hear that we had an accident and given the benefits to skip the Exam, They thought it was a bullshit.

Obviously they can't do anything since Dream confronted them. After knowing that Dream destroy the monster, They finally shut up their mouth.

"All of them are stupid. If they were the one who is targeted, I don't think they're going to be alive now. They're fortunate that Anna targeted me. If not, They might died fighting that ant."

Dream is sitting on the table eating a cake. Everyone is wearing a formal suit. The party is held in the Hall. The principal provided all of the students a great time. She spent a lot of money to hold this party.

Dream is sitting on a table for two with Elaine.

"So Miss, Why are you sitting with me?"

"What? You don't like it?"

"Not like that Miss. It's feels kinda awkward!"

Elaine grinned.

"Sorry sorry. Well, After this party I'm going to take you to the academy immediately."

"Really? Is there any person other than me that join through your recommendation miss?"

"Yeah there are one girl. But She won't be joining us for at least 1 week. First time they said 3 month but, It seems like things went really well."

"Is that so? Who is her?"

Dream who is really wanted to know who that girl is, Decided to ask Elaine about it.

"Well it's no fun if I told you. Don't worry, She's a strong girl."

Dream only nodded. 'I hope I can fight her' Is written all over his face.

Then the light went out and focused on the stage. On the stage is stood the Principal.

"Everyone, I congratulate all of you that pass the exam. And I'm really sorry for a certain class. Due to our incompetence, We failed to protect one of the student."

The Principal look really sad. She mourn for Baba. Everyone seems not really care about Baba too much due to all he did to them. But Baba friends certainly feels sad.

"And I congratulate Dream Enpierce for enrolling to the Million Years Academy through invitation."

The Principal started to clap. Everyone followed her and started clapping. Dream stand up and bowed his head.

"Now, I don't like making things complicated. Let's start the real party!"

"WOOOOOO!"

They started playing music. People started to dance. Dream is sitting with Elaine and the Principal about more important stuff.

"Miss Elaine, Principal..."

Dream said quietly.

"Yeah Dream. It's outside. From what I feel, It's around 30 people."

Elaine reply. Principal sighed at Dream.

"I know you did something Dream. Let's go clean it up."

"Yes.."

Dream, Elaine and Principal quietly and swiftly, Go out from the hall without anybody noticing.

"Come Out now. I know you were targeting me!"

They see Dream face. Like a bug, They started to showed up even more.

"I knew it. The Cult of Chaos."

Principal said. From the pack, A different kind of robed man move forward.

"Hohoho, I don't think there are The Guardian and The Witch. Elaine and Eleanor"

Dream looked at Principal after hearing her real name.

"Well, What do you want here? We don't have time to serve you, You know?"

Eleanor said with a troubled expression.

"Don't be so cold. We're going for the young man. Wait, where is he?!"

When he was distracted by Eleanor, Elaine and Dream already started to move. Dream is behind the man.

"I'm here i***t!"

Dream grabbed his head and twist it around. Breaking his neck. Instantly dead.

Elaine is there supporting Dream. When the people started surrounding them, Elaine use her technique.

With her fist, She threw a lot of punches to the weaklings. Along with Dream and Eleanor as support, They easily clear the rest of the Cult.

"Huh? Not so strong."

"Of course they're. They only the bottom tier of the chart. They're nothing compared to 'The Bringer'"

Elaine Explain to Dream.

"Really? Then How should we disposed of the body?"

Elaine Grinned and looked at Eleanor.

"Don't worry, Eleanor going to clean this up."

Now that the name is revealed, They doesn't bother to keep it a secret anymore.

"Flame of Purgatory."

A Blue flame burst from the ground. Burning all the corpses into ashes.

"Damn Principal. That was awesome!"

"Thank you."

Eleanor look really proud at her work.

"Before everyone suspicious, Let's go back"

"Yes!"

With Elaine on the lead, They went back to the party like nothing has happened.

People still eating and dancing. They look like they are having a lot of fun. Sadly for Dream, He can't taste any of that. Why? He doesn't have any friends.

Then, Eleanor stood on the stage giving announcement.

"Now, For the last time. We're going to hear a speech from the one and only. Dream Enpierce. Please Dream come to the stage."

"Eh?!"

Dream shocked hearing what Eleanor said. He started freaking out with his limb.

"Please come to the stage!"

Dream with no choice, Walk slowly toward the stage. He was given a mic by Eleanor. So, He started his speech.

"I usually don't like to talk about this because I hate you guys! But, this 3 years is a rough and fun one for me. Thank you for those who bully me. It make me even stronger. I hope this will help you learn your lesson. Stop bullying please. Just because you have power doesn't mean you can use it like that. You use your power to protect the weak. Not Exploit the weak. I hope you understand my point. If you keep bullying people and they become stronger, They might unleash their rage at you. And you might get killed. Keep that in mind."

People hearing Dream speech seriously. Those people who been bullying him looked down at the floor. Remembering what they done.

"Once again, I'm thankful for the Principal to letting me learn in this school even though I'm weak at that time. I'm thankful for Miss Elaine for inviting me to the Million Years Academy. This is been Dream Enpierce. I wish all of you well!"

Dream instantly vanished from the stage and sat down at the table.

People clapped their hand and whistle. It's like they're hearing a speech from a famous people. They hear that seriously and keep what he said in their mind.

"Great job Dream. I'm surprised you have that kind of talent in you!"

Elaine said. She and Eleanor is surprised at Dream speech.

"Well yeah! Thank for a certain someone dropping a sudden responsibility on me!"

Dream glare at Eleanor. She started to look away while whistling 'Puu puu'

"Hah.. Doesn't matter anyway. I hope they are changing. Bullying people isn't good. Once the people they Bullied surpass their limit like myself, they're going to be screwed."

"That's great for you. For breaking your limit. You must been working really hard."

Elaine pat Dream head as a compliment to his hard working and never giving up attitude.

Dream get flustered a bit because this is the first time he get something like this from people other than his mother.

With that, The Party went smoothly until the evening.

"That was tiring... Why am I the center of attention in the party?"

Dream is grumbling about the Party. Dream is with Elaine on a private plane. They're going to the Capital to check the Academy.

"Well, You're the one who kill the Ant. Of course you're going to become the star of the party."

"I mean You're there too miss!"

"I'm there as a normal lady. Not as the Guardian."

Dream grumble. Elaine look at Dream like she look at a child.

"Forget about the party. Miss, This Plane is awesome! I don't know you have one of these!"

"The guardian have their own private plane. It made our trip more easier."

"Heee. That's really cool."

Dream looked around the plane. Then, Without Dream noticing, They arrived at the capital.

"Welcome to the capital of Kosmi Kingdom. Nova."

Dream arrived at the hangar. He heard it from the speaker of the plane.

Dream get out of the plane with Elaine. They immediately get pick up by a car.

"Now Dream, We're going to go to the Academy. We're going to check out your dorm."

Dream said 'Okay' and they move toward the Academy. Dream sit down calmly while looking at the people outside the window. Elaine is sitting on the front while Dream sitting on the back.

He looked around to remember what's where. Because, The first thing you should do at a new city, You need to remember all the building.

Elaine smiled and let Dream do his thing. She start a conversation with the Driver instead.

"Miss, Do the Academy have a great training facility?"

"Of course. You want to start training immediately?"

Elaine look confused.

"Yes. I need to become more stronger after all."

"You don't want to check the city?"

"Naah. I will check it if I have a friend."

"Alright then."

Dream started to looking everything once again.

After a while, They finally arrived at the Academy. Elaine immediately went to the Dormitory with Dream. The second and third year student greet Elaine and Dream. The girls in there looked at Dream with rosy cheeks.

"You seems to be popular here Dream"

Elaine said with a teasing tone.

"Really? I don't know about that."

Dream looks like he doesn't notice the girls. The dormitory is on the same building with all the classes. But the Dorm is on the top floor while the classes is on the lower floor.

"Because you're a special student, I will give you your own room."

"Really? Thank you miss."

Usually the student live with another student. But Dream is one of the special student. So Elaine give them special treatment.

They arrived at Dream room. It at the very top of the floor and there's only a couple of room is. Many, Doesn't have people. Probably only Dream on that floor.

"Meet me at my office later."

Elaine said that to Dream before Dream go to his room. Dream put all of his clothes in the closet. He made his made and clean his room.

"That's perfect. Let's rest for now."

Dream lay down on the bed. After a long way from the City called Artine to Nova, He felt kinda tired. So he lay down for 15 minutes before taking a bath.

After taking a bath, Dream wear his clothes and went to Elaine Office. He went down 2 floor and after walking pass the Teacher office, He finally find Elaine Office. He knocked at her door.

"Dream?"

"Yes Miss."

"Come in!"

Dream opened the door and see Elaine is sitting on the sofa while drinking tea. She poured one more glass for Dream.

Dream proceed to sat down in front of her.

"Thank you miss."

"Dream, I heard from Eleanor your weapon broke during the fight with the ant right?"

"Yes. My spear is broke. I'm planning to buy brand new spear though."

Dream said while sipping his tea. He like the taste of the tea.

"Don't need to worry about that. I want to give you something. Follow me."

After drinking his tea, Dream followed Elaine to the corner of her office. He push button on the wall. Revealing a lift.

They went inside the lift. Dream is amazed about the lift on the wall. It camouflage inside the wall.

"Where are we going miss?"

"We're going to the underground. Where I keep all of my weapon."

"So What can I get from there?"

Elaine suddenly look serious.

"So I want you to have weapon from the 7 Sins Series."

"?!"

Dream immediately surprised.

"You mean the cursed weapon?! Do you think I can use it?"

"I hope so. It's about time they found their master. So I really hope you can make them yours."

"Wait, All of them?"

"If you can make all of them yours, You keep them. They always fight me when I tried to use them. Oh we arrived"

When they were talking, The Lift shook a bit. Dream started to become nervous. He's scared after hearing that he need to try to use the 7 Sins Series.

7 Sins Series is a series of weapon that consist of different kind of weapon. It hold a strong power and if you want to use that power, You need to be recognize by them. If you're not recognize by them and still want to use them, They will want a big prize from the User.

Sometimes, They will kill the user if they were used to a certain extent. So it's really important for you to be recognize by them. So you can use their power freely.

What Dream see as soon as he leaves the lift is a beautiful stands everywhere. On the wall, On the ground, Everywhere there's a weapon. And on the wall. There's a two different kind of weapon. Both of them have 7 series of weapon. On the left is 7 weapons all colored Black and on the Right is 7 weapons colored White.

"7 Sins and 7 Virtues. They're not really a cursed weapon. It's just they need the correct people to hold them. That's my reasoning for scouting people. Because this particular weapon is what used on the old war against Chaos and The Bringer. And It need a new owner. Dream Enpierce, You're one of them."

Elaine said with a serious tone. She looked at the 7 Sins weapons. Dream is amazed by the quality of the weapons.

Without being told anything, Dream immediately move forward toward the weapon. Elaine is carefully looked at Dream attitude. If things gone bad, She will immediately help Dream.

Dream slowly walking toward them. Until he was finally stopped. The Light in his eyes is vanished. It's like he's not there anymore.

"Where am I?"

Dream wake up and noticed that he isn't on the spot he was before. Right now He's on a battlefield. He's standing on top of corpses.

"What is happening?!"

Dream is still figuring out what happening. He noticed a weapon on his hand.

"A Halberd?"

'Correct!'

"It Talked?!"

Dream is surprised hearing a sudden voice on his head.

'Calm down. Show us your power!'

Suddenly, A thousand of monster swarmed to Dream.

"Is this a test?"

Dream ask the Halberd.

'Indeed! Now Use me! If you can defeat all of them, Me and the rest will accept you as our master!'

"You said it like it was easy. But I feel like the monster here is stronger than the ant I fought."

They're kinda like creepy crawler. They're drooling blood. Their flesh is falling off.

"Ghoul huh..."

'Show us your true power!'

"Alright then. Don't be so bossy! I'm going to make all of you mine!"

Dream grinned and jumped toward the swarm of Ghoul.

Using the halberd, He swing it at the ground. A big Shockwave from the ground send the ghoul Flying.

"Dream Style: Cloud Nine!"

The shattered Ground that flying become a bullet that shoot through the flying ghouls.

Then, Dream crouched. He hold the Halberd on the front of him. Then with incredible speed he jumped forward while spinning his body. Piercing through Thousand of Ghouls.

"Dream Style: Drill Thrust"

Then, Comes the big guy. It's a giant. It immediately attack Dream with his club.

Dream hold the Halberd at it's tip. So he Can reach further.

Then He pull the Halberd up. He wait to the right moment until the Club in his reach. Dream reach his focus. With all his power, He Swing the Halberd Down.

"Dream Ultimate: Sky Splitter!"

In an instant, The Club, The Giant, And The sky above him split into two. And At that moment also, Dream arm. His Bone shattered into pieces. The Impact he get from swinging the Halberd at that speed cost him his arm.

He Immediately grind his teeth trying to hold the pain. The Halberd is still good on condition. As Expected from the legendary weapon.

"How is that? Do I pass your test?"

'Incredible. You use me without any shred of hesitation. Then We Shall accept you as our new master'

Suddenly 6 more thing comes. The Halberd that he held fly toward the rest. They immediately thrust Dream.

Then Dream wake up on the real world.

"Dream?"

Elaine carefully called him. Dream immediately glared at her sharply. She immediately take a fighting stance.

"Sorry Miss, It's a joke."

Dream laugh looking at Elaine.

"So How the test?"

Elaine ask Dream. Both of them looked at the wall of weapons.

"Come to me!"

Dream said. All of the weapon follow his instruction. They started to levitate from the wall toward Dream.

Elaine looked at him in amazement.

"Congratulation Dream."

"Thank you miss."

Dream look at the weapon.

"You guys can go inside me now"

'Aye master!'

All the weapon is telepathically speaking with Dream. They turned into dark flame and vanished inside Dream body.

"Alright Dream. Don't tell anybody about this weapon okay? You don't want to be targeted by. 10 Bringer right?"

"Yeah. Alright then, I will keep this a secret."

"Great. Just buy a normal weapon to keep the Sins series okay?"

"Okay Miss!"

In the end, Dream have to buy his own weapon. But now, Rather than buying spear, He considering to buy Halberd instead. He seems really like it when using them.

'Master, Do you want to buy another weapon even though you already had us?!'

The weapon started talking to Dream.

"Sorry about it. I need a weak weapon so I don't reveal you guys. By the way, What should I called you guys? You are 7 different weapon right?"

'Yes! We're 7 different weapon. But Our core is only 1 weapon. So we called ourselves Yoga!'

So it doesn't matter what weapon Dream use, They still Yoga. Quite convenient that Dream doesn't have to remember 7 names of his own weapon.

Elaine looked at Dream confusedly. But she caught Dream intention really quick.

"Here Dream. This is the address of a weapon shop. It's owned by one of the teacher here. So Make sure you pay them a visit!"

"Thank you miss!"

Elaine and Dream went back up and Dream immediately go to the store.

"Welcome Young man! What do you need?"

"I'm looking for a weapon sir!"

"Of course! This is a weapon store. What kind of weapon do you use?"

"Halberd!"

The man immediately grab a Halberd from the stand.

"This one is 300 Rue. It's not to heavy and the sharpness is nice. It's really good for someone as young as you."

The Man doesn't know it yet but, Dream is his future student.

"Yes I would like that one please!"

"Alright. Here you go!"

Dream immediately pay for the weapon and take the Halberd. After that, the Halberd officially his. It immediately become a core.

"Thank you young man!"

"Thank you sir!"

Dream went back to his way. This time, Slowly. He's want to go around the city to remember all the building. If he walk normally so he can focused more on the name of the building.

'Master master! There are person crying for help!'

Yoga warned Dream about that. Dream immediately look serious.

"Where are they?"

'On the left alley. From what we heard, It was a group of girl that was bothered by a group of man.'

Dream suddenly recalled the incident with the cult.

"Then, Let's go!"

'Aye Master!'

Dream immediately ran to the alleyway. He see a group of a young man that look like they're hitting on them.

"Hey man, You should stop hitting on girls on alleyway. People might think you're something else!"

They look toward Dream.

"Hey Man?! Who are you? It's not your problem. Get away now!"

"How about, No?"

"Then you're dead."

They immediately take out their weapon.

Suddenly, The girls behind them, Strike the man. Knocking all of them.

"Well, I don't even have the chance."

"Thank you for saving us! Dream!"

Dream is surprised seeing Jasmine and Krim. The one he saved from the cult.

"Well well, Long time no see. Are you here to join the Million Years academy?"

"Yes We are. We're preparing for the test. Are Dream too?"

"You can say something like that."

Dream and Jasmine is talking back and forth. Krim introduced their friend.

"Dream, This is our friends. Erika Mai and Aiko Nion."

Krim point to the girl with Brown hair and Black hair.

"Nice to meet both of you! I'm Dream Enpierce. I'm the one who saved Jasmine and Krim 2 month ago!"

"Nice Too meet you Dream! Thank you for saving them at that time."

"No problem!"

'Master, Do you know them?'

"Yeah. I meet them 2 month ago."

Dream is talking through telepathy with Yoga.

"Well then, I hope I see you around!"

"Yes!"

Dream went back to the dorm while Jasmine group went back to their inn. It's a surprise reunion.

"I hope there's a lot of strong people there."

Dream said while walking toward the dorm. He is so bored that he wanted to do something. So, He started his training. Running around the school for 2 hours. He said it was exploring.

He wanted to work on his endurance. The key to win a fight is how long you can keep your top form. So, He train everything that can make him endure fight more. At this point, His body is really muscular. Different from what he was when he was called Loser.

'Master! There's people watching you!'

Hearing a sudden warning from Yoga, Dream immediately put his guard up.

"Where are they?"

'I think from the top!'

Dream looked up at the window. He noticed Elaine is waving her hand toward Dream. It look like she's calling for Dream.

"I wonder what she wanted..."

'She is watching your training from the very start master!'

Then Dream immediately went back inside the building. He walked toward Elaine office.

She already waiting outside.

"What are you doing miss?"

"I forgot to tell you this but, On the gymnasium there are a machine that let out a hologram of a fighter that I personally watch. The Data on that is accurate. So you can use it if you want."

"Really? Everyone?"

"Yes. But there is slight problem though."

Dream look surprised.

"What is it?"

"There's a lot of upperclassmen. So if you want to use it, You might need to pass through them. Well, Show them who's superior and you should be good. I will let you out of problem if you get into one."

Elaine gave Dream all of her support.

"Thank you Miss!"

Dream immediately went toward the gymnasium.

"Strong fighter! I want to fight them!"

Dream swiftly and quietly arrived at the Gymnasium. There's a lot of people there. A lot of them watching one person fighting not a strong person. They seems like really troubled.

Dream went inside the gymnasium. People immediately stared at Dream. They look like wondering the identity of Dream.

Dream ignored all the people and immediately get to the front row. He watch the student fight.

"Their Movement is rough. I wondered what kind of training they did. I really thought that the students here are strong as hell."

Finally, The student that fighting get attack by the hologram.

"Hm... Weak... Are they really my upperclassman?"

Dream keep talking with a low voice.

While other person want to test it too, Dream immediately sneak into the hologram match. People still wondering his identity but, They seems really curious about his power. So Dream pick a certain opponent. It's Kurou.

Crowd started to get excited seeing Kurou. It's look like they know who Kurou is. But Not Dream.

To start things off, Kurou immediately jumped toward Dream with his iconic smile. Dream is just standing still in front of Kurou. Kurou throw punches toward Dream. Dream just slightly moving. Evading all of the Punches that Kurou throw.

"Whoa who's that guy?!"

The Crowd started to become crazy.

"Wait, Aren't he the one who win on the Tournament?!"

"Oh yeah! I remember now! One of the finalist who absolutely crush the Dangerous Assassin an Ninja! I think his name is Dream Enpierce!"

Finally, People started to notice Dream true Identity. While Dream still easily evading Kurou complicated attack. Dream just crouched. Then He just elbowed Kurou Stomach. Then he ended the fight with a spin Kick to the head. Ending the fight instantly.

People clapped at Dream incredible performance. Then He goes back to the hologram and summon another person. This time is Eita. People getting more excited because they got to see Dream fighting once again.

Without the crowd noticing, Both Dream and Eita vanished from their eyes. They look confused. Then just a moment after that, They see Eita Hologram getting Choked by Dream. Dream Legs Locks Eita Torso. Making his arm unable to do anything. Then, With his arm he choked Eita.

Dream thinking to summon another one. But, He realize that He might become to selfish.

"Sorry Everyone. Thank you for letting me fight. Goodbye!"

Dream instantly vanished from everyone eyes. Now, Dream went back to his room to rest.

"There's one month left until Academy started. Tomorrow people will going to take the entrance exam. I hope Jasmine and the other managed to do it. So I have friends."

Dream immediately went to his bathroom to take a bath. He lay down on the bathtub and let cold water run. After the bathtub is fully submerged all of his body, He stop the water. Then, He hold his breath and drown himself.

He stayed focus to try to slow his Blood flow. So the oxygen in his body move slowly and he can hold it longer.

30 minutes later he went out from the water. Then he drain the water and shower.

It's already night. He wear his clothes and went down to eat dinner. He eat curry as usual and went back to bed. It's his first day on the dorm and it's different from usual.
