Phantom Guardians|Episode 11|

Shiroi was shot on the leg out of nowhere and he fell on the floor bleeding like hell

"Shit shit what the hell!?"

A lone figure came out of the shadows and walked up to Shiroi with a knife ready on his hand.

He slowly kneeled down and stabbed Shiroi right on the chest.

"Oh fuck oh fuck I'm gonna die!!" Shiroi yelled


Slowly the knife plunged deeper into Shiroi and he was losing consciousness

"whe...where's Grimm when I need him.."

Shiroi was slowly drifting away and darkness started to take over.

"Is this the end?.." he said softly


"SHIROI! WAKE UP!!!"

"huh? has someone come to rescue me?" he thought to himself

"DAMNIT SHIROI! WAKE UP!!"

"He's one heavy sleeper that's for sure.." Grimm said

"Heavy...sleeper? What the fuck?! I'm sleeping!??"

Shiroi shook his head and quickly woke up and saw Grimm and Violet staring at him

"Holy shit, what are you guys looking at?" he asked

"Man..you can really sleep! Both of us tried waking you up for nearly an hour now!" Violet said

"Wow, I didn't even feel a thing."

"Trust us, we tried everything we could..I even tried stabbing you with my scythe!" Grimm said while grinning

"Tell me you didn't..." Shiroi said with a shocked face

"Yeah I was kidding bout the whole scythe thing AHahahhahahah"

"Come on, we're gonna be late for class!" Violet said

"Uhh...you mean breakfast?" Shiroi asked

"No time for breakfast! Class is starting in 5 minutes. If we're late for this class, Professor Polly will punish us like hell!"

Shiroi got up, got ready and both of them ran like hell to the advanced learning class. Today's lesson: Phantom Invocation


.:Be late and die!:.

Violet and Shiroi ran as fast as they could and finally reached the classroom. No sign of Professor Polly yet.

"Shit, we're lucky we made it." Shiroi said

"You said it. Come on let's find a seat before she comes in!" Violet said


They picked a seat at the back of class. Next to Violet was a female student named Chloe and next to Shiroi was a really fair-skinned guy named William. Both of them were new students just like Violet and Shiroi


Professor Polly came in class and the whole class became quiet. She was an old lady with short blonde hair. She was abit shorter than Violet and she wore glasses. She looked like a grandma!

"Good morning class. First thing's first. Attendance time!" She yelled. "Tim?"
"here"
"Deborah?"
"here!"
"Violet?"
...
.... "Ahem...Ms Violet Tsubaki?"
"Oh sorry. Here!!"

It continued on and on till the last name on the class list was read out.

"Okay, now that that's outta the way, Let's begin lessons on Phantom Invocation."

"Phantom Invocation. It is one of the advanced technique that one can learn in their lifetime with their phantoms. It is the act of invoking your guardian's power into the weapon that you wield. This will usually result in your weapon changing it's appearance and allow you to damage other phantom guardians. Once invoked, your weapon will also have some other ability that differs from other people and is unique to you and yourself only.

The ability to use phantom invocation varies from person to person. Some can master the technique faster than others while some may take some time. This technique is very valuable and important to a phantom wielder. It can be used for offensive or defensive purposes.

If one wants to achieve greatness, this is the technique you would want to start out with. Most people usually master this after they master the summoning technique. The easiest way is to practice yelling out 'phantom invocation' while wielding your weapon. Sooner or later you might actually invoke your weapon with phantom powers."


"Psst, William.. you getting sleepy from this lecture?" Shiroi whispered


"DO I hear whispering at the back!? Shiroi Teski!!"

"Uhh..sorry prof...my apologies.."


"For whispering during my class, you shall stay during lunch time and write me an essay on phantom invocations!" she yelled

"Damn. That aint cool prof!"

"There's nothing cool about skool!"

"Ok..sorry..."



Suddenly the P.A system started talking.

"This is headmaster Douglas speaking. It's mission announcement time!"

Everyone kept quiet and listened.

"First on the list is Patrick and Gary. Next pair is Willliam and Suzzie. The final couple is Violet and Shiroi."

"COUPLE?!?!" Shiroi exclaimed.

"The three of these pairs will come to my office immediately to get their mission briefings. That is all."


The six of them were excused out of class and walked over to the headmaster's office.

After Patrick,Gary,William and Suzzie got their mission briefings, it was Violet and Shiroi's turn.

"So..the two new young couple that everyone's talking about." headmaster Douglas said

"Uhh..sorry to burst your bubble sir but we're not a couple." Violet said.

"Yeah! We're definitely not a couple!" Shiroi shook his head
"If Princess Naomi heard about this, I'll never get a chance with her!" he thought to himself.
"Keep dreaming dumbass. Ahahahahhaha" Grimm laughed


"Anyway, back to the mission briefing. You're assignment: Kill a rogue phantom guardian that's terrorizing a small little village north of Angel's Garden."

"Okay no problem. Anything else sir?" Violet asked

"Oh yeah, one more thing. This rogue phantom guardian has killed about 50 soldiers already."

"Holy..."

"Yeah. I'd normally send a trained and experienced student for this but I'd like to evaluate both of you. Do good on this mission and I might have a surprise for both of you." the headmaster smiled.

Both of them walked out and walked out of the castle

"Shit, I don't wanna die yet." Shiroi said trembling.

"Don't worry, we've got Tsuki and Grimm by our side." Violet said as she pat Shiroi's shoulder.

They walked to the teleporter and they were teleported to Angel's Garden.

As they stepped off the teleporter and walked a few steps, another teleporting sound was heard behind them.

"Wait up! I'm coming with you both!" a familiar voice yelled.

They both turned around and saw Princess Naomi running after them.

"Princess Naomi?! Why you coming with us?" Violet said.

"We don't mind though." Shiroi smiled cheekily as his face turned red.

"You don't have to be so formal around me. Just call me Naomi. Oh and I decided to tag along and help you out with your mission. Headmaster Douglas allowed me anyway." Naomi said

"Awesome! Let's go then!" Shiroi said as he started walking infront of Violet and Naomi.

"Hey dumbass, the village we're going to is the other way." Violet laughed

"I...I knew that! I was ..uhh..just testing you!" Shiroi said

Along the way, 5 black ninjas ambushed the three of them.

"Interesting..maybe I should try phantom invocation here."

Violet took out her katana and pointed it infront of her.
"Phantom..Invocation!"


..



Nothing happened.

"ahahahahha noob! This is how you do it!" Shiroi took out his handgun and pulled the top slide backwards.
"Phantom INVOCATION!!" he let go of the slide and it sprung forward.

His handgun glowed black and suddenly changed colour to black with blue markings. The top barrel turned black and the bottom barrel turned silver.

He took aim and shot all 5 of the ninjas in quick succession. Each bullet left a trail of blue mist as they left the chamber.

"The hell!? You weren't even concentrating in class just now!" Violet grumbled

"Wow, that was...pure coincidence, I swear ahhaahhahah" Shiroi said as his handgun turned back to its normal colour.

"You do know that those ninjas weren't phantoms right?" Naomi laughed quietly

"Uhh...right...again I was just testing!!" Shiroi said as he blushed.
"You're blushing like an idiot, idiot!" Grimm laughed
"Shush! Don't make me eat grapes as I summon you so that you can't taste them!"
"Damn youuu!!" Grimm cursed


"Erm guys, do those 3 look like rogue phantom guardians to you?" Violet said as she pointed infront of them

"Hmm, those are intimidating looking phantoms indeed.." Naomi said.

"ILLUMINATE THE DARKNESS FROM WITHIN, TSUKI"

"LEND ME YOUR WINGS, ARCHANGEL"

"WIELD YOUR SCYTHE AND REAP THE WANDERING SOULS, JIM..I MEAN GRIMM!"


Tsuki and Grimm came out while Naomi grew wings and wielded a golden bow as usual.


"Let's kick some ass!" the three of them said

"Hey how come you didn't summon me?" Wakizashi said

"Cause I don't know how to summon you yet AND you're a brat!" Violet laughed

Wakizashi just grumbled


"Angel's Premonition, First Strike!" Naomi plucked a feather out of her wings and she pulled it back on the bow, suddenly the feather turned to a golden arrow and disappeared. It striked the phantom right in the heart

Tsuki quickly dashed forward and slashed around like some mad person. The phantom didn't stand a chance as it got it's limbs slashes off here and there and finally it's head was cut off.

Grimm just stood there, leaned against his scythe and smiled. The phantom was so scared that it fled in terror.

"What the hell?!" Shiroi said "What did you do?!"

"I just smiled." Grimm said

"O..kay pretty weird..." Shiroi replied.

"I'm kidding, I used one of my special technique, death stare. The phantom didn't run away, he died. That was his soul running away. I basically scared the crap out of that soul's,..soul Aaahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahha" Grimm laughed continuously.

"Dude, too far man..too far.." Shiroi said

"My bad.." Grimm shrugged.
