Chapter 4: Chapter #4: day in the capital
On a train a girl with shoulder length messy black hair with silverish gray eyes is seen looking out the window with a melancholic smile on her face. 'It's been three years so let's see everyone be surprised by my speed style praying mantis based swordsmanship! I'm especially excited to see Claire's face when I win.'
She then sighs as two kids run by her seat laughing blissfully ignorant to the struggles of those in the know of the Cult of Diablos. 'Ignorance is Bliss...' The train then stops, and Chloé then had her expression shift completely from a thoughtful one to an kuudere one as she stands up to get off the train.
Finally getting off the train, and walking out of the station she looks around at the capital, and sighs before walking up to an Arthur Pendragon lookalike. "Uhm, excuse me are you new to the capital?" The guy turns around, and looking at the girl who had two swords instead of one strapped to her plus the uniform.
"Yes i am, my name is Alexander Eragon are you going to ths academy? If so I could show you the way." Hearing the boy's British accent made her facade almost shatter completely but stopping that she replies with a blank expression. "Sorry no I wanted to visit Mitsugoshi first. See the sights of the capital, and all."
Hearing that Alexander points down one of the streets before speaking. "Yes head down that road, and you should reach it no problem. The street to the left when you reach Mitsugoshi will let you reach the academy with ease." Simply nodding Chloé than bluntly replies. "Thanks." She then walks down towards Mitsugoshi.

Finally arriving at Mitsugoshi she directly walks up to Nu who was shocked to see the leader of shadow garden it honestly felt like an honor. But she was then let's out of her stupor when Chloé uses sign language. |I need to see Gamma!| swiftly Nu nods, and beckons Chloé to follow her which she does.
As she walked through the department store, and was lead to the throne room on the roof she decided to ask Nu a question to break the ice. "So how's your training going Nu?" Startled at the last question Nu stammered for a few before answering. "It's going well I've come a long way since I joined Shadow Garden."
"It's good you think your improving but always think it's not good enough that you could do better. Basically never believe in a "peak" once you do you grow complacent, and with our mission... need i say more?" Nu was in awe at the wise words she had just heard. "Alright well thanks Lady Nacht also we are here."
Nodding the doors to the the roof are opened, and then they walk up to a second set of doors that are also opened upon approach. "Gamma it's been awhile how are you?" Gamma seeing her lady smile at her with true joy warmed her heart.
"Yes it has Lady Nacht what brings you to our humble establishment might i ask?" Sighing before gaining a serious expression. "I'll get the more serious matters out of the way first. Lutheran Barnett I want him watched constantly, and all people he talks to regularly, associates with or happens to just bump into all documented because he is a former Knight of Rounds."
Gamma was shocked to say the least. This information was brand new, but there was a sneaking suspicion this was not all. "Your correct Gamma it's want him watched because he plans to frame us in the near future... while I won't deny some evils might have to be done it shouldn't be a necessity. If he succeeds."
"We won't be able to operate as open as we need to right Lady Nacht?" Gamma having finished her lady's sentence merely gets a nod before a sketch book is pulled out three sketches one was titled "Akame's outfit" the next one was labeled "Sanguine Gaze" which had detailed instructions on how to make both.
"My lady what are these for exactly?" Smiling brightly. "It's both a theory on the mana conductivity of jewls, and they are both my weapon, and outfit for this year's God of War festival. I wanted to use a scythe to show my philosophy of anything being a weapon. will it be taxing on the organization?"
"No it won't plus I doubt Eta would complain much at the possibility of discovering something new, is this all Lady Nacht?" Chloé beams at Gamma before turning to leave. "Yea it is thanks again Gamma I appreciate you." Continuing to walk off she eventually reached the fron door leaving.
Afterwards she walked down the street Alexander told her to, and eventually reached the academy just in time.
(Timeskip)
'Finally school is over, and huh?' Immediately a girl with snow white hair, and amethyst purple eyes stepped directly infront of Chloé's path along with Alexander from earlier, and another guy who had messy grey hair, and emerald green eyes. The white haired girl spoke up first.
"You are now my rival so fight me!" The two guys look at her like she's crazy but Chloé just sighs. "When, and where. Also who are you I'm Chloé Kagenou it's nice to meet you miss rival." The girl was shocked by how blunt the girl infront of her was then her name clicked in her head.
"Are you Claire's little sister? Also my name is Olivia Valedstorm you seem to know Alex already but this mopey guy here is Cassian Greymoore. As for when, and where my rival. Right here right now work?" Chloé merely nodded at Olivia who was about to draw her blade before she was stopped by Chloé.
What had Chloé done? She already drew both her swords, and had them both in a scissor like X formation to her neck being the honorable person she was Olivia let go of her sword, and put her hands in the air surrendering. "It's my loss." Nodding Chloé sheathed her swords before walking away to her dorm.
