Chapter 13: I Am In Team 7, Am I Naruto? by Harem-Fan

     Crack! Ah~! Yeah, that was the sound of my spine and ribs cracking! I-I think I am going to die!

     "Nevin, if you keep hugging me, I am really going to die, bro!"

     "Cough, Hehe, Sorry Sam, I was too happy, haha. Oh, man, we are really family now, I am so happy!"

     Nevin, after finding out that I accepted his sister Rebeca as my wife officially, just made him too happy. I patted his big shoulder after getting my breath in my lungs.

     "Well, your sister was able to get me to do anything, and honestly, I had no chance to resist her care for me, sigh. Women are scary, when they want something."

     A few of the Knights from Nevin's school had been watching us, and seeing that I was wearing a Knight overcoat, made them interested in who I was. Nevin seeing their looks pointed and said.

     "Hey guys, this is that guy who became a Mage in Rosecrans, see, I told you he and I are best friends, and you did not believe me, and now he is my Brother-in-law."

     I wave to the three boys, and I introduce myself.

     "Hello gentlemen, my name is Sam Roland, Mage Knight. My skills are complicated, so I will leave it short."

      The first of the 3 men walked to me and introduced himself. He has red hair and hazel eyes, and is a muscular man with Chain-mail Armor. His weapon is a Greatsword.

     "Hello, my name is Franklin Starling, Fire Strong Knight."

     Huh, Why does this guy seem a bit familiar to me? Then the next guy came up...

     A huge Meatball of a man, about 6 feet tall, and very heavyset. Not overly fat, but definitely big boned. He has black hair with pork-chop sideburns, like Elvis Prissily, with black beady eyes and a fearless grin.

     He is wearing Breast-Plate Chain armor, and his weapon is a huge Maul. He said while thumbing his chest proudly.

     "Names Chuck Donald, Dark Vanguard Knight! It is a pleasure for you to meet me, hehe!"

     This guy is both overly proud and funny. I nod to him, and the last guy says hello.

     He is a short, thin man, who is bald with no body hair. His eyes are squinted, and very hard to see clearly, and he only wears a Chain-shirt armor. He has a pair of Short-swords on his waists, and he grins with a sneaky smile.

     "Rando Miller, Time Swift Knight, nice to meet a friend of Nevin, he is a good guy. I am also the Team Leader of Team7! I look funny, but I am smart and also your team leader for this mission."

     Now that he said it, I can see a bit of silver in his eyes. For Swift Knights, the two best Elements are Time and Electricity, with Time being the very best!

    "Well, I am looking forward to following you guys, and I am glad I can team with my buddy Nevin. Um? Do you know what girls from Rosecrans are also with us?"

     Rando handed me the paper, and I shook my head.

     "I do not know this Healer or this pair of Mages. But they should be easy to find, if they only look for me."

     And shortly after saying that, 3 women all wearing their hair in ponytails (common practice in war

     "Kelly Walker, Ice Healer..."

     This tall pale-blue haired woman spoke crisply and briefly. She has a cold temperament, because of her magic.

     The shortest woman with pale-green hair, waved and introduced herself warmly.

     "Hello gentlemen, just call me, Megan Wallis, Life Mage"

     The last girl of average height nodded seriously, neither hot or cold, and waved.

     "You do not know me now, but I am the 1st year's strongest Mage... Sue Tree, Light Mage"

     All of the Knights reintroduced themselves for the three new girls, and It was my turn.

     I greeted the three girls, and said.

     "Well, you should know me, but I am Sam Roland, Water and Electricity Summoner."

     And telling by their expressions, all of them know me well. I am sure I have seen them in class, but with all the cute women in the school, they kinda just blend together.@@novelbin@@

     Rando saw my Longsword and asked me.

     "You are a Swordsman? Nevin mentioned you did not graduate but had the best swordsmanship in your Elementary Academy?"

     I do not openly admit it, but...

     "I did not graduate, but consider me as a 1st Circle Knight. My swordsmanship is something I am proud of."

     Rando's eyes opened a bit, and seeming to see through me, only nodded not exposing my words, and said to all of us.

     "Then if everyone is ready, let us check in, and get a head start to leave the others in the dust. I would rather lead than follow in this trial."

     This guy that seems strange, is actually a smart fellow, and is probably one of the smartest of the 1st year Knights. He will probably become an Officer in the future.

-

     Talking to a pair of teachers, one from each Academy, they gave us a map, simple instructions, and sent us on our way.

     As we are going, I saw Vera with her group forming, as finding it easy with her Gold Golem she named, Doll.

     I had planned to ignore her, but she said in her proud tone.

     "Do not be too far behind me, Sam Roland. Keep up with me."

     My lip twitched, because I do not hate this woman who acts like one of those Tsundere. But, I really want to spank her though.

     But I suck in my urge to hit her butt, and smile at her.

     "Well, with Doll, you should do well, and I doubt any monsters will even approach you guys, good luck."

     I walked in the lead of our group, with Nevin grinning at my side, because he recognized the girl from the forest. Judging by his expression, he thinks I added her to my harem, sigh.

     I then said to Nevin once we are far enough.

     "That was the 7th Princess, Vera Lucas..."

     Trip Thud! Everyone had to stop, because big-ass Nevin had a misstep and fell forward. I grin evilly and said to him,

     "Stop worrying about my love life, and think about your Milly, haha."

     He shot up, red-faced from either the fall, or my teasing about Milly, he said under his breath.

     "Don't talk about her, those other girls might know her, and what would I say?!"

     I smirk and say louder.

     "If Sister-in-law Milly hears that, she will be sad..."

     Thwack! And a gauntlet-clad fist, punched my left shoulder, and I busted into laughter, but Nevin only smiled goofy at our friendship.

     Yeah, we missed each other after a long month. We had never been apart for more than a week before.

     Five minutes in, I told the others I needed to find a tree for relief, and ran off to a huge tree with the girls looking at me funny.

-

     "Freya, come forth... [Call Summons]"

     And in a flash of light, Freya was there. She was beautiful as normal, and she smiled at me, seeing the Beast Forest around us.

     I quickly explained the situation, and she confirmed.

     "Alright, well, I will just follow you and only jump in when the situation is dangerous. Oh, and I ate that funnel cake, and it was amazing!"

     Then the two of us walked back to the group.

-

     When we got back to the group, the Fire Strong Knight screamed while pointing in fear!

     "A-A-A-Aunt Freya, why the hell are you here?!"

     Freya also was stunned and her eyes of hazel, looked at the red-haired hazel-eyed young man, and said with some surprise.

     "Little Frank, is that you?! I honestly did not know you were here..."

     I slammed my fist in my left palm and said.

     "Damn, red hair and Starling, I should have guessed it!"

     Franklin, now going by Frank, pointed out.

     "You are supposed to be escorting the 3rd year on the East Sea trip, so why are you in the Beast Forest?"

     She smiles, because like Rosecrans, the Royal Knights do not leave the campus till the end of the month, and unlike the rest of the world, the news of her becoming a Summoned Monster has not made it into his ears.

     Freya briefly thought of her first week as a Summons...

-

     She remembered when she went home for the first week, the Starling Family was in an uproar about her fate.

     But when they learned the details about her Summoner, their complaints dimmed to just being annoyed, to possible ties, to... telling Freya to say good things to her Master.

     Her Mother grilled her for two days straight about her relationship with the young man, but she refuted it, but now Freya is confused.

-

     But she pushed the thoughts and said to her nephew...

     "Well, due to some personal reasons, I am here as protection for Sam Roland. Right, Sam?"

     Oh? She wants to pretend to not be a Summons for now, got it.

     "Yeah, Teacher is just following along, cough

     Nevin, who appears dumb on weekdays, is a smart guy when it comes to me, and when he saw how close the two of us stood, a glint of brilliance showed in his brown eyes, but he hid quickly, and he smiled.

     I did not notice his gaze. Yeah this guy knows me too well.

     Rando asked Freya.

     "Teacher, will you be pulling Rank here, or am I still the Leader?"

     She waved her hand and said,

     "Just consider me not here, I am only protecting Sam if big trouble comes. If I interfere, you will learn nothing, so ignore me."

     Frank, the Strong Knight, protests his Aunt's words.

     "What, you won't help me?!"

     "Get lost you little bastard. Do not pretend to be a child around me, you are a proud Starling, so act like it."

     I smile, because only I can tell she cares about her nephew, but she is a proud woman who does not want him to act like a spoiled brat. When she saw my smile, she glared at me, oops!

     I had no idea, she only wanted her Nephew to not embarrass the family in front of me, because she wants to bring me to meet them all.

      Rando, tired of all the fuss said in a Leader persona...

     "Chuck you are Vanguard point, with me and Frank on the left and right flank... Rosecrans in the center, protect the Healer, and Sam takes the rear with Nevin, since you two team up together. Now let us travel South Westward, I think the Beast there will be better."

     """""""Yes!"""""""

-

     A half hour later...

     Whoosh Boom~! And Dark Vanguard, Chuck, smashed in the head of the 1st Circle Giant Rabbit, and said with his lips smacking.

     "Damn, I want Rabbit stew tonight, haha!"

     Renaldo said to him.

     "Same rules, if you eat it, you clean it."

     The tubby Knight said greedly.

     "No problem, I will get ya the Core and then I will put the rest in my Space Satchel."

     While the front group was dealing with the small kill, Freya and I nodded to each-other, drew our swords, as we sensed a group of Humans from behind, so I said to the team.

     "We are being hunted, heads up everyone..."

     Nevin, knowing our teamwork, took point and placed his Tower Shield in the ground, ready, while Freya walked behind me, to not be noticed as much.

     And from a cluster of large trees, a group of 5 Mercenaries from another Kingdom showed themselves...

     The woman leading the 4 Knights accompanying her, said in an accent.

     "Western Desert Kingdom of Anubis Representative, Daniella Windless... I am here to take Sam Roland home to my Kingdom, please do not resist."

     I could feel from my connection, Freya was really pissed...

LOCATIONS

Northern Kingdom of Lucas. Home of Rosecrans Academy and Royal Knight Academy. Further north are the Endless Arctic Sky Mountains. To the south is the Beast Lands. And to the East, Great Eastern Sea.

     Rosecrans Academy: This floating island in the clouds, is roughly 10 miles wide, with only a low 3 foot stone wall on its edges. In the center of the island, is a massive building standing about 75 feet tall, divided into 3 floors with high ceilings, for tall creatures, most likely.

     The Lucas Royal Castle was a very impressive stronghold of all pure white marble, with decorations and flags of royal blue and gold. The entire Royal Castle is protected by a 20 foot wall of magically reinforced white-stone, to match the Marble white Castle in the distance. From my first guess, the castle must be about 20 Earth floors of a building, and as wide as 5 miles, a stunning massive home.

Southern Kingdom of Argus, the Mage Queen led nation. Home of the Exodus Academy. Even further south, are the Dead-Lands. To the north, are the Beast Lands. And to the East, Great Eastern Sea.

Western Desert Kingdom of Anubis. Home of the Whirlwind Academy. Further west, is the Deep Neptune Ocean.

Great Eastern Sea. The other-side is the land of Demons, Elves, and Demonic Beasts.
