I know <that this is a dream>.

My hands feel disgustingly warm. There is something warm and slimy wrapped around my body. The contamination of Human Stagnation filled the air around me and made breathing difficult.

(gasp)........(gasp).........

I squeeze breath out of my lungs. Even though I am very familiar walking in this forest, I cant move forward at all under the light of the moon. I let my [Dark Cloud] go ahead of me as I walk behind it. Harsh rain drums against my body and the sound of thunder beats down on my eardrums.

No...no..!

My brain is refusing to accept the things that happened right before my eyes. Its triggering my nausea as I feel the stomach acid come up my throat. Dead. Everyones dead.

I dont wanna die..I dont wanna die.

Someone is chasing me down from behind. I know that much, but I dont know who it is. Is it the person who committed those atrocities? Or is it someone escaping from it just like me.

Why did all this happen to us.

Lightning flashes and thunder immediately follows.

The next instant, I felt the presence behind me.

HE-HA-HA-HA!!!

<POW!!>

In the rain, I manage to barely dodge a large stone flying towards me and hear it collide against the tree behind me. I look behind me to see a large, gaping hole in its trunk.

Ah, as expected of our towns genius! Its the first time anyones dodged my Spell!

........why...why did you.

The rain leaves us both drenched.

Isnt that obvious? If I didnt, <I would have been killed>. Is that..is that why you killed everyone?!

The boy in front of me did not confirm or deny the accusation. Silently, he manipulated his Magic Power. I could not recognize what he was doing at the time. I didnt even know how to detect that kind of thing.

But my body moved instinctively on its own.

[Those who crawl and suffer, come out from the darkness]!!

[Stone] Tetsura

[DEVOUR HIM]!

<ZUN!!> (*sfx)

The ground below the boy is tainted by a giant shadow, and countless sharp, twisted teeth emerge from it. It chomped down hard against the boys lower body.

Before my eyes, before the boy could finish his incantation, with overwhelming speed and unimaginable power, the jaws of the earth tear the boy in two.

DAMMIT.dammit-dammit-dammit..

With just his upper body now, the boy continues to curse repeatedly.

........I knew it...its all about talent after all

I want to help him.but I cant..

If I help him, Ill be the one wholl be killed.

If I didnt take him down, it wouldve been me who would have died.

Watching the life drain out of him, I just stood there and watched him die.

I knew it. The rumors were true about you <YOORI>!

With those words, I awoke.

I woke up on the top bunk. Just the other day, the school sent out a repairman to fix the broken window frame. Below me, my roommate whos definitely not a morning person is still asleep. I get out of bed and get dressed.

As I climb down, I see his sleeping face.

Yoori: .........Igni

Today, his face is scrunched up. I wonder if hes having a bad dream.

I thought about waking him up, but from experience, I know that hell just fall right back asleep.

Yoori: If you were there

A pointless "IF" scenario.

But I think about these things because Im human.

Yoori: Would you have saved me? No one will ever know what would have happened then.

And even for Yoori, he sought no answer to that question.

<<<<>>>>

Yoori: Its almost the summer break.

Igni: Yeah, its gotten warm.

They both were dressed in the summer school uniform and walked towards the school. On the way there, the met up with a Witch who rode on a broom and a girl walking beside her.

Igni: Yoori, are you going anywhere for summer break? Yoori: Im thinking about going back to visit my family. I havent gone back once since coming here.

Igni: Family, huh.

Igni doesnt have a family to return to, so its not something he can relate easily. He thought about how wherever his Grandfather was would be considered his home, but his grandfather has strong wandering habits and would never be able to settle down in one place.

In short, Igni doesnt have a home.

Yoori: What will you do, Igni? Igni: I...need to train more, so Ill find a place to do so.

Yoori: Thats amazing. Youre a hard worker as always, Igni.

Although Igni wasnt talking about Spells but rather, his skills on how to become more Popular, no one got his real message. Actually, he meant for it to sound ambiguous in the first place. A man who says Im going to train to become more Popular wouldnt able to become Popular.

Igni: Alicia, what about you?

Alicia: Me? Im not going anywhere. Ill be here the entire time.

Considering Alicias situation, itll be awkward for her to return home right now. Shes apparently communicating with them periodically but that doesnt mean that shell be able to go home so easily.

But part of the problem is how Alicia feels as well.

Alicia: What about you, Lilly?

Alicia decided to toss the question to another.

Lilly: I will return home once. Lura and Lady Clara will be waiting for me.

Alicia: I see. What about you, Iris? Alicia continues tossing the question around.

Iris: Me? I havent thought about it.

Iris held an annoyed hand to her eyes against the bright morning sun

Igni: Id like to go somewhere with Sara during the summer break.

Alicia: Yes, itll be sad if shes left down there the whole time.

Igni: But where should we go? We went to the beach already. We already went to the forest...I guess, whats left is the mountains? Alicia: A hike up a mountain? That sounds like fun.

Igni: I hope Sara can walk the whole way though.

And they continue to chat as they arrive at school. Igni has some business with the Student council so they split up there.

The school is equipped with a Magecraft Artifact that dispenses cool air so its quite refreshing inside.

Miko: Hey 1st Years. You guys are late today.

Igni: I was looking for my summer uniform and lost track of tim..

Ignis words fade into the air.

There was a bomb before his eyes.

Before, President Mirus breasts were hidden under thick layers of the winter school uniform, but now came back with a vengeance in the summer uniform.

And the summer uniform is short sleeves. With short sleeves, what will happen?!

Thats right..! You can see their second arm! (specifically the bicep/tricep area).

<<<<>>>>

[Grandpa, whats this?!]

[What are you referring to...oh? When did you buy this picture?]

[No! I found it on the ground!!

Igni was holding a niche picture that was emphasizing the second arm.

[You picked up something amazing. This is an expensive piece of work]

[No, not that! Why the second arm?! Thats weird!]

[Whats weird about it?]

[Because..! I get it if its a picture of a breast or rear, but why the second arm?! Its just an arm!!]

<SLAP!!>

[WhWhat.?!]

[..........(sigh). Im disappointed in you, Igni.

[AAbout what?!]

[Im severely disappointed in you. The second arm is just an arm? You dont understand. You dont understand anything.]

[.......whwhat do you mean?! What are you getting at?!]

[If the second arm is just an arm, the breast is just a solid piece of fat. The rear end is also just a piece of fat. Am I wrong?]

[.......but thats..]

Igni was at a loss for words.

[But no, its not like that at all. Neither the breast nor the rear is simply a ball of fat. In it, it is chock full.]

[WWith what?]

Lucas falls silent, and looks directly at Igni.

[it's full of dreams, no?]

[WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!]

[Its the same with the second arm! Unlike men, it is soft, pleasant to touch, and in it, it is filled to the brim with dreams!!]

[IIs it really!]

[Igni! Do not ever forget about this even after a good nights rest!!]

[Since were talking about dreams?]

<SLAP!!>

[Thats a stupid joke!!]

Igni was beaten up relentlessly by Lucas logic.

<<<<>>>>

But..!

If it was just a second arm, Igni wouldnt get so excited.!!

But there are moments when even the second arm can become overwhelmingly powerful..!!

Thats when she supports her breasts with her arms.!!!

Her pale white skin glisten as they stand alongside the emphasized breasts!!

And on top of it all, this is one of the Student Councils Top 2 President Mirus breasts!!!

Igni: (Its.incredible..!!)

Miru: Okay, ready to do our morning patrol?

With that, Miru gets up out of her seat.

Igni: Yes, lets!!

From very early in the day, Ignis excitement was through the roof.

CHONK TL LiT (Lost in Translation)

Ni-No-Ude ()

No, not Ni-No-Kuni. Ni-No-Ude. Literally, the second arm or the second part of the arm. This is somewhat of a fetish, but for those concerned about their physical appearances, people in both Japan and the U.S. worry about their arms looking fat. In Japan, the area is referred to as the second arm but it more specifically refers to the bicep and tricep area. In most cases, people will point or tug at the fat on their tricep and refer to that as the second arm.
