One More Time: Rebirth 74 Leto's Original Spell

My husband and I have been busy for the past two years. We have left Sarah's care to the servants. I feel like a bad mother. Leaving my kids for work. My husband and I weren't even there when Sarah went to school. I wonder how my poor little Sarah feels. She might think that her parents hate her... No! I don't want that! Also, there's Edge, he grew up too fast. The determination in his eyes that time was intense. I wonder what he's doing now... Those people even gave him that detestable nickname "the reaper." Muuuuu, Every time I remember that event when everyone threw stones at my little Edge.

Oh, how hard did I try not to fry them. But worse than that is this irritating true humanity. Hiding like rats after causing that much destruction and death. They weren't satisfied with that, they even got me and my husband wasting time looking for them. Oh, how I wish to see my children.

Edge's POV:

I started teaching my sister and her friends the moon edge style. It's been three days since then. While I was teaching them I tried to get information on what happened the two years I was gone. 

It would seem that last year a group of people brought back Setsuna to the Eastern Kingdom. Based on what people saw that day he wasn't forcefully taken. In fact, many students from the Eastern and Western Kingdom have been leaving school as of late. 

...

As I was gathering information I continued to teach my kohais, all three of them are learning fast especially Sarah. She was improving at an incredible rate. Yet though I want to focus on training them and myself... Tsukiyomi and I are first and foremost STUDENTS of this school.

Even though we have countless privileges because of our rank, we are still required to do the bare minimum. So we took two old classes that I'm truly interested in. We are required to take only two subjects. So I took:

Cooking

Summoning

I'm not giving up summoning. No, I will never give it up. I want to summon something cool. Though Tsukiyomi didn't want to do any of the two, I told her I wouldn't budge from my decision. She wanted to retort some more but then Eri said to her "petty." After hearing that though she looked really, really reluctant she agreed in the end.

Summoning classes start tomorrow morning. OH yeah, I'm so excited! This time! This time! This time I will summon something awesome! This time for sure! So with my current level of excitement, we went to the cooking class.

The same as before Tsukiyomi was only good at eating and has zero talent in cooking. On the other hand, Eri was surprisingly good. She wasn't allowed to join in the process of making the food, but still, she would give advice on how to make the recipe better. After following her advice I was able to create the best porridge the teacher has ever tasted. Quoted from the teacher's own mouth.

The class ended during midday so we got a whole afternoon of free time. The three red clads were having classes right now so I guess I'll go train with Eri and Tsukiyomi. The three of us were heading toward one of the training fields when I suddenly spotted Leto-senpai. No to be more precise Leto-senpai spotted me. He came running toward me.

"Yoh onii-sama! What ya doing? Where is the cute wife/little sister Sarah?" As usual, his main focus was on Sarah. Behind him, I could see Clarise-senpai following. I really do pity this childhood friend of Leto-senpai.

"She's in class. I was about to train, with Tsukiyomi and Eri. Also once again I'm not your onii-sama! How many times do I need to say that? Actually I can't believe I needed to say it more than once."

Leto-senpai laughed, "haha no need to be embarrassed. So you're going to go train? How about letting me train with you, instead of Tsukiyomi, and Eri-san. We can't have two supreme lolis' getting hurt now can we?" I can never understand this guy's thought process.

"Kukuku, you Leto the #1 pervert, are you telling me. That you can be a better training partner than I the eternal moon?"

"Yes, also Tsukiyomi it's not Leto the #1 pervert, it's Leto-senpai, do not forget S.E.N.P.A.I." Tsukiyomi smirked when he heard Leto-senpai's response.

"Alright then prove it Leto the #1 pervert. If you can beat me in a spar I will acknowledge your abilities and allow you to be Edge's training partner. But if you lose promise me that you will stop showing your face in front of me. So will you accept Leto the #1 pervert?"

"Sure as you wish my loli Goddess." Oh I feel sorry for Leto-senpai somehow. I don't know what level of skill he's at, but even if he is a black clad I doubt he would win against Tsukiyomi. The level Tsukiyomi is at is not something normal humans can handle.

"Clarise-senpai, how about stopping that idiot. Tsukiyomi will just pulverize him. I'll feel sorry for him if that happens." Clarise-senpai looked at me surprised for a moment then she smiled.

"You're really kind Edge-kun, even though you must feel irritated at Leto. Well do not worry, I not have a clear picture of how strong Tsukiyomi is, but I do know she's extremely powerful. Still I don't think Leto will lose that easily."

"Why?"

"Leto has a special skill for opponents like Tsukiyomi."

"Hey, Tsukiyomi-san can I prepare something first before we start?"

"Sure do what you must. It doesn't bother me because either way you're going to lose." Leto-senpai smiled at Tsukiyomi before giving out an answer.

"I will not lose! The loli God's will be sure to give me their blessings."

Leto-senpai then started chanting. The words he spoke were not base on any of the elements. Is this his original spell?

"I call upon thee, go beyond the doors of time. Go beyond the ends of life. Open the door from beyond thy path. Follow the radiance of my soul and come before me! [Spirit summon]" A blue orb suddenly appeared in front of Leto-senpai. The moment I saw that orb something deep within me was resonating with it.

"What is that? What did he do?' I asked Clarise-senpai.

"He summoned a spirit."

"Summoned a spirit?" 

"Yes, he summoned a spirit. This is a secret spell created by his family. They would summon strong spirits from other planes, other pasts, other futures, other dimensions, other worlds. Also even though I say spirit, it doesn't necessarily mean a dead spirit. He can also summon a person's spirit even if he/she is alive. The only requirement is that it's supposed to be a strong spirit. I only saw this spell in action one time, at that time he summoned the spirit of a hero so that he can beat an A class monster when he was eight years old."

"So can he pick who he summons?"

"Unfortunately no. The being that will be summoned will always be random. So sometimes he gets to summon a strong spirit but not stronger than him. Only in a rare occurrence, he can summon someone stronger."

"So what's Senpai doing now?"

"He's doing [Full merge]. He's not only gaining the knowledge and skill of the spirit but also the physique and memories. Basically his going to become the spirit he summons, his mind and personality will be taking a backseat. He would then talk to the spirit in his mind. The spirit is then manifested in this plane as if truly summoned body and mind. Yet after that the spell would only last for about half an hour. Also after using this he would lose energy and would sleep usually for about two hours."

I see what an unusual skill. Also, it takes too long to prepare. But that doesn't answer my question. Why does it feel like the spirit is resonating with me? Did Leto-senpai somehow manage to summon my past self?

After a few minutes of waiting, it seems like Leto-senpai was finished merging with the spirit. Leto -senpai started to glow for a moment. That was when I noticed that his presence changed. The one in front of me is no longer Leto, it was the spirit he summoned.

A guy who looked about eighteen years old was standing there in front of me. His hair and eyes were black, he was wearing Leto's black uniform and even had Leto's sword. He had an annoyed face while looking at his surroundings. I was surprised really surprised, the presence of this guy was overwhelming. He was merely standing there yet the force of presence he emitted was staggering. He then started talking to himself.

"Huh? Loli Goddess? Fight? Summoned? Oh so basically you summoned me here to fight this chick in front of me." He must be talking to Leto-senpai in his mind. That was when he showed a vicious grin. "Sure I'll fight! Hey you girl over there." The summoned spirit was pointing at Clarise-senpai.

"Me?"

"Yes you, lend me your sword." Still confused Claris-senpai handed her sword. 

"Hmm not that bad." He then unsheathed Leto's sword, Dual wielding? Same as Sarah. He then looked at Tsukiyomi and then he looked at me.

"Oh, so that's why." The spirit walked towards me and looked at me from head to toe. 

"What is it?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Why aren't you using it? Why are you suppressing your power?" 

"Huh? What do you mean?" Hearing my question the spirit shrugged his shoulder and answered. 

"Never mind, you'll get there when you get there." The spirit no longer looked at me and walked back to his previous position. 

The spirit then took a stance or something of the sort. The two swords he held their tips were pointing downward toward the ground. This was the first time I saw such a natural looking stance. He then emitted a pressure far worse than before. It was as if my heart was being gripped tight by someone's hand. Clarise-senpai held her breath as she was starting to sweat.

Eri was visibly shivering. Even her usual poker face was crumbling, she was showing signs of fear. Tsukiyomi on the other hand looked shocked beyond belief. She was even trying to get as much mana she can get from me without killing me. I sat down, I needed to concentrate on sending her mana. The summoned spirit then spoke.

"COME AT ME! SHOW ME ALL YOU'VE GOT!"
