Hidden Legacy

Chapter 5: Reunion with old Friend.

It's been couple of weeks since Dream stayed at the dorm. The school is started next week. People right now is moving in to the dorm. And there's still no sign of another people moving to the very top room.

'Don't worry about stuff. I'm gonna be your homeroom teacher. I will tutor you so you become strong!'

Is what Elaine said to Dream. He already knew what class he's going into and who the homeroom teacher is. But he still doesn't know about who's going to be his classmates.

Dream doesn't want to become the center of attention because he's afraid that the 10 Bringer might know where he is. So, this past weeks Dream only train his physique inside his room.

Even right now. Where's people should be moving and talk to each other, Dream still training. He's currently doing a one handed hand stand. He's sweating really heavily. His sweat is dripping to the mattress. He already did this for 10 minutes. If people see this, They might not believe how he does that. How can he do that? What happened to the blood flow.

Apparently, Dream doesn't know either. And now, He begin his normal training. Push up, Sit up, Planks, Squats. Dream does Pull up on the tree.

"Huft. That's intense. Every time I train I feel really good."

Dream muttered. Yoga immediately ask Dream.

'Master! What are we doing after this?'

"I don't know. I really wanted to train with you. But I can't do that without Miss Elaine permission."

Apparently, Elaine told Dream to not use Yoga without her permission. Because Dream know it was for protecting himself, Dream agreed.

'Master! I want to fight...'

"Me too Yoga. Should we go to the Gymnasium now?"

'Aye master!'

Dream, Go down to the Gymnasium to check on an opponent. As usual, There's a lot of people there. Mostly boys. And inside is a 1 on 1 match.

Dream observed what is actually happened in here. Then he see a sign that said '1 on 1 match! If you hit me one time, You get 10.000 Rue! Sign up for 1.000 Rue'

Dream finally realize that most of the people here is a new students.

"That's how it is huh? Try to make money from this poor students. Not Bad."

Dream said to himself. Yoga ask Dream.

'Master, What are you gonna do?'

"We're going to try it. It's free money after all!"

Dream wait until the match is over. It's lasted 3 minutes per match.

"Is Anyone want to try it?"

"I want to try!"

Dream immediately put his hand up. Because most of the people here is new students, They don't know who Dream are.

"Oh! Come in!"

Dream pay 1.000 Rue to the senior. The Gym now filled with people.

The bell rang. The senior started to jumping around. He can't attack Dream. He's so confident with his movement.

But that confidence immediately get crushed by Dream. He can't even follow Dream movement. Dream already touch his shoulder.

"I win right?"

People let out an amazement voice.

"O-Of course! Here!"

The Senior immediately hand Dream 10.000 Rue. Dream, Without saying anything else, take the prize and vanished.

"T-That's Dream Enpierce..."

The senior recognize him. He immediately stopped the competition.

'Master, What are we doing now?'

"I don't know."

Dream is sitting on top of a tree. Dream face is looking really bored. He wish that there are people to play with.

"I'm so bored! The city is too dense! I really want to go back to the forest and fight monster!"

Dream grumble. There's nobody there to hear all of his rambling.

"You know what, Let's go to Miss Elaine"

Dream fall down from the tree and take his time walking slowly toward Elaine office. He felt really lazy that he doesn't want to go fast.

"You know what, Let's get back to bed. I rather just sleep rather than doing stuff."

Dream, change his plan from going to Elaine Office to go back to his room. He just felt like sleeping is more fun rather than going somewhere.

He could just go explore the city and probably found something fun but, He just go to sleep.

"So yeah. Can you attend the class on the first day?"

Elaine is currently talking with a girl. She's the other person that Elaine invited to join. They're currently talking in Elaine Office. The girl finally talk.

"Yes. Thankfully, I successfully convince my family to let me do this alone. As you said miss, Showing them how far I've grown make them easier to let me go."

The Girl is talking with a happy tone.

"Hahaha! See what I say? If you show them your power they're going to let you."

Elaine said while grinning.

"So Miss, When Can I meet the other person you invited?"

"Don't worry. I will let you meet him later. After all, Both of you lived at the same floor. So you can greet him later."

The Girl immediately get excited

"Really? Then what will we do after this?"

"Follow me. Lily."

The girl identity is none other that Lily Woodrow. She look at Elaine confusedly as she walked toward the corner of the room. Elaine touch the button that opened the lift.

"Wow!"

Lily can't hide her surprised feeling.

Both of them went inside the Lift and immediately went down. Lily ask Elaine what is her plan.

"So, You know about the Weapon of 7 Sins and Virtues right?"

"... Yes"

Lily looked at Elaine suspiciously.

"Don't look at me like that. No need to be alarmed. I'm just going to give you the 7 Virtues. After all, The 7 Sins already on the hand of the other person."

Lily looked like she noticed something.

"So your plan is to invite us who can wield it?"

"Correct. I can't use any of the weapon. So I need people that can hold the power of that weapon. After all, those weapon is the key to killing Chaos once and for all."

"Alright then Miss. I trust you to about this."

Lily smiled once again. Elaine started to feeling happy after hearing Lily answer.

"Don't worry. I will train both of you personally."

Once they're down, Elaine and Lily walked toward the glorious room full of weapon. Lily only stares in amazement. Can't say any word.

"So this is the room. Let's- Lily?"

While Elaine try to guide Lily toward the weapon, Lily already walked toward it. It's like something dragging her to come to the Virtues weapons.

Elaine only stares so that she doesn't want to disturb Lily.

Little by little, Her eyes lost its light. She woke up on a battlefield like Dream did. But, There are no corpse.

"Where am I?"

She's holding a white Katana.

'I welcome you. My name is Gava. I'm the core of the Virtues.'

The voice that comes inside Lily head make her trip.

"Wait, You're the core of the weapon? Will you be mine?"

'If you want me to be yours, Complete the task first.'

"What should I do?"

Lily ask Gava about the requirement.

'Fight the monster. Don't let anyone die. Show me your power. If you can do that, I will acknowledge you as my master.'

"You have my deal."

Suddenly, From the sky, There's a thousand of monster pouring down. It's ghouls. The same type of monster that Dream was fighting. And suddenly, A lot of soldier comes from her back.

"LET'S GO!"

The Commander said.

"Alright then. I must kill the ghouls quickly before they can kill anyone."

Lily immediately rushed toward the battlefield. Passing through the commander, She s***h the ghouls with a beautiful motion.

She's also adapted Eita footwork. So she slide around easily and slice everything that stand on her way. She finally on the middle of the Ghouls.

"Lily Original: Full Moon s***h!"

She swing her sword and her body around. Making a circular motion. With the power of Gava, The wave that is made from Lily Full Moon s***h, Cut every ghoul into two.

'I admit it. You are strong. Now, Let's see if you can kill that giant.'

Gava said. Hearing Gava compliment, Lily immediately get happy. She immediately feel tense after she saw the giant.

"Lily Original: Blade Dance!"

Lily hold her katana up. The Giant swing his club very slow. So she waited. After she felt comfortable with the distance. She immediately jumped toward the club. She s***h the club like it was nothing. She keep slashing non stop with a Rhythm. She keep running and slashing while going up the club.

Making her way to the hand. Cutting the hand. To the shoulder, Cutting the shoulder. And finally she reached the neck.

"Lily Original: Half Moon s***h!"

She s***h the neck of the giant off easily. She jumped down to the ground.

'I acknowledge you. For protecting the people and killing the evil. I Gava shall become one with you. Master.'

"I'll take care of you. Gava!"

Lily said. Then Gava immediately levitate from her hand. Going inside her body. Then Lily went back to the normal world.

"How about it Lily?"

"I did it miss!"

She called Gava to her hand. All of 7 weapons levitate toward her. Then just levitating behind her back.

"Congratulation. I know both of you can do it. Now, Don't let anyone see that. Other than Me and the other person, I want you to hide that weapon. If you want to use it, Please ask for my permissions first."

Lily immediately look confused at that statement.

"Why is that miss?"

"The other person I invited, He was targeted by the 10 Bringer. So, I want both of you to be safe. Now that he have the 7 Sins series, There's a big chance they want him even more. Same as you Lily."

"Okay. I will keep that in mind"

Elaine and Lily went back up to the principal office.

"Then, Go take care of your room. You room is going to be side to side with the other. So, After you done, Meet me after Dinner. Make sure to bring him too. He doesn't have any friends."

Elaine said that Lily need to Bring Dream with her after dinner.

"Okay miss. I will see you later."

"Yeah."

Lily went out and go upstairs to her room.

"I wonder what kind of person he is. I hope he's strong."

Lily said her wishes as she walk up the stairs. She set up her room while Dream is sleeping.

It's 5 PM. Dream finally wake up. First thing he does is go to the bath room. To take a bath. As usual, Dream bathe with cold water. To wake all of his cells. Then he get up and clean his body. Then he showered to wash everything off.

He brushed his teeth and finally done. He went outside and wear his clothes. He brew a cup of tea and drink it slowly. While looking down to the window. Admiring the view of Students walking around the school.

He keep sipping on his tea while reading a book. Even though he doesn't need to worry about his grades anymore, His old habit keep coming back. He always read his book everyday.

After finishing his book, It's already 6 PM. Dream decided to go to the Cafeteria. Suddenly someone knock his door.

"Is Miss Elaine here?"

Dream was wondering if it was Miss Elaine. From the outside the room, They finally talk.

"Is anyone here? I'm your neighbor."

Dream opened the door.

"Who is it?"

When they look at each other they look surprised.

"Lily?"

"Dream?"

Both of them confirmed each other identity.

"Long time no see. Glad to see you doing well."

"Long time no see! I'm surprised seeing you as my neighbor"

Dream and Lily talked like usual. They laugh and smile.

"Well Dream. Shall we get Dinner? Miss Elaine told me to eat with you and go to her office."

"Really? Let's go then."

Both of them walked down toward the cafeteria. While walking.

"So, Are you the one who take the 7 Sins Series?"

Lily ask Dream. Dream looked shocked after hearing that. Then He realize something.

"Yeah. So you're the one who take the 7 Virtues Series right?"

"Yes. I'm actually really surprised about that. Miss Elaine really hide it from me."

"I know that feeling. Fortunately I can use it."

They keep talking about themselves. They always wanted to meet each other for a long time. They missed the feeling of fighting alongside each other.

"I heard from Miss Elaine. You are targeted by the 10 bringer."

"Yeah... Unfortunately I'm. They almost killed me."

Lily immediately look surprised.

"Really? What did they do to you that they almost kill you?"

Dream stop on his way. Lily also stop on the place.

"They just manipulate a strong monster to attack me. And after I almost killed the monster, I think one of the student is also out to kill me. Then The monster eat that student making the monster regenerate. Fortunately, I managed to kill it."

"Really?"

"Yeah. For now, Let's go eat first. We can talk more in Miss Elaine Office!"

"Yeah. We don't want other person to hear our conversation."

Both of them started walking once again. They sat down on the table for two and ordered their food. Dream ordered a curry and tea while Lily ordered Steak and tea.

Both of them talk and wait for the food to arrived.

"Hey Dream. Do you have any friends? Miss Elaine told me you don't have any friends."

"I have a few. If they managed to passed the exam."

'Jasmine Group is my friend right?' Dream thought.

"Really? I'm glad then."

Lily smiled at Dream. Then the food came.

They both ate their food and drank their tea.

"So Lily. Tomorrow, You want to train together? I'm bored training all by myself."

"Sure. I'm also bored Training by myself. Let's go together then."

"That's set. Now let's go to Miss Elaine Office!"

Both of them stand from their desk and pay their food. Then they immediately went upstairs.

"Ah, Isn't that Dream? Who is he with?"

"Long Silver Silky hair and Red eyes. Isn't she Lily Woodrow? His partner in the tournament."

"Oh Really? Well, Let's leave them alone for now."

The one who is watching them is Dream friends. Jasmine and the other. They're wondering about Dream and Lily. But soon give up.

Dream and Lily is already outside of Elaine Office. Lily knocked on the door while Dream is behind her.

"Come in!"

Elaine voice can be heard from inside. So they opened the door. Inside is Elaine and Eleanor.

Both of them walk inside slowly.

"So Miss, What are we doing here?"

Dream ask.

"Ah, I just want to give this to both of you."

Elaine gave Both Dream and Lily a tube. They opened the tube.

"What is this?"

There are 2 ear pieces on each tube.

"That is a Device for Long communication. You can talk to me or each other using this!"

Dram and Lily looks confused.

"Why are you giving us this? Doesn't it's too much that you done for us?"

Lily ask. Dream nodded in agreement. Elaine smile softly.

"Both of you are the wielder of 7 Sins and Virtues. You are the foundation to a better future. I will do everything to keep both of you safe!"

Elaine said with conviction. Dream and Lily immediately look at each other and nodding.

"Then Miss, Thank you for this. We will definitely won't betray your observation."

"Great then. Now, Thank you for coming. You can go back now."

"Excuse us miss."

Both Dream and Lily went back out.

"Do you think they will notice sis?"

Ask Eleanor to Elaine.

"I don't know... I hope so."

Elaine said. She look so concerned at both Dream and Lily.

"Dream..."

Lily said. Her tone of voice indicating something.

"Yeah. I know."

Dream said. Both of them understand something. They look at each other.

"We're already being targeted. That's why she gave us this. If something went wrong, We just need to call her."

Dream said.

"This is weird. That means someone already spying on us. Let's keep our guard to the max"

Both of them part to their own room.

Dream immediately change his clothes and go to sleep. They change their plan for tomorrow. They planned to search for the person that's spying on them.

Both Dream and Lily set a safety alarm on their room to their max setting. If people try to break in, It will send a notification of intruder to the whole school. And Sending their info straight to everybody. Which is great. They can sleep without worry.

Morning coming peacefully. Dream wake up and turned off the safety alarm.

"Thankfully, There's nobody coming last night."

The Safety alarm really is handy. Dream immediately wash his face and went down to have breakfast.

As soon as he see Lily, He immediately went the other way. Dream doesn't want to be seen together with Lily too often. They need to determined who the real target is.

So Dream sat down near the corner. Girls look at him with rosy cheeks as usual. While the boys stare at him with jealous eyes.

Dream Ordered Noodle and water. On the outside, He look calm. But on the inside, He sharply looking at everyone. He look for any suspicious movement. Same as Lily. Both of them is on the different corner of the cafeteria. So their observation include the whole cafeteria. And they not only observe the students, They also look at the employees.

He mindlessly slurping his noodles until it's gone.

'Master, Don't worry. There aren't any suspicious people here. So I think we're okay.'

Yoga telepathically said to Dream.

Dream immediately felt relieved after hearing Yoga said that. So Dream pay the food and go back to his room. He hold the door handle. And he heard a noise from the inside. It's sounded like a footsteps.

Dream barge in.

"Who is there?!"

As soon as Dream got inside there are nobody there. So Dream Put the Safety alarm at its max and Chase down after the intruder. He jumped down from his window. When he was falling he saw a robed man running toward the trees.

Dream is currently very behind. So he use the wall as his step. He launch himself downward toward the ground. Shattering the ground and shocking everybody there. Then he quickly regain his full speed and chase after them.

As soon as he entered trees, There's a barrage of arrows with a liquid on the tip of it. Dream immediately force himself to slide down from the arrows. Once he get up, The people already gone.

"Tch, They run away..."

Dream immediately use the ear piece to talk with Elaine and Lily.

"So, I just got attacked. I try to chase them down but, They laid a trap on me. Now I can't find them."

Dream said. He got a response from Elaine.

"It's okay. Get back and don't chase them. I'm currently tracking their whereabouts."

Elaine said. She cut down the communication. Then Lily started talking.

"Dream, Come to the cafeteria right now. It's seems like I found a clue about the spy inside."

Dream look delighted hearing that. So He grabbed the poisonous arrow and threw them to the trash. People doesn't know what happened to the ground because Dream is gone when they look at it.

Dream once again, Went back to the cafeteria. It's a hell of the day. They're not even started school yet. And It's already this Chaotic.

Dream meet up with Lily in the Cafeteria. She seems like holding a lot of paper.

"So? What do you got?"

Dream ask Lily. Lily grab one paper out of the stack of papers. On that paper is written the identity and the face of the person.

"His name was Newton Alman. He work as a janitor on this academy. He's from the Scouting Division of the 10 Bringer."

Lily pointed at the paper. Newton Alman is a man with a beard and a friendly looking face.

"Him huh... Well, Thank you for the information. Are your room okay?"

Dream ask Lily with a concerned tone in his voice.

"Yeah. I feel like they don't target me. So We sure they were targeting you Dream."

"Great then. So, Any information from Miss Elaine about them?"

"Sadly no. Miss Elaine is tracking them from yesterday. But They are to good so there are no result. Now, Miss Elaine manually tracking them with her power."

Dream sighed hearing that. He ordered iced tea and resume talking.

"Why can't I enjoy my normal life?"

Dream genuinely ask Lily that question. Lily chuckled hearing that.

"I don't know. But, I think this is enough for now. They already get all the information from you. So Make sure to hide your weapon from them. I think you will be okay if you keep it secret. When they don't expect it, Smack them with that."

"Sounds like a great plan. Though I might need Miss Elaine permission."

They finally started to relax after that. They are safe for quite a while after this incident.
