Bahamut barely moved, the energy brushing against its thick, magic-resistant hide without any discernable effect. Blue eyes closed as ice shards were sent flying against it. Then the bolts of fire landed against its hide, chipping away the frozen scales. Their explosions, sheer number, and the smoke they caused easily obscuring Bahamut's body as it pulled its upperbody down and close to itself. Garuda's wind-based arrow flew through the dust and a large crack could be heard as it embedded itself. As silence reigned Bahamut's long maw rolled along the ground and out of the smoke, eyes still closed. The great nose was devoid of ice and great chips and cracks decorated the scales from the heat of Ignazio's fire bolts. But only briefly. A new sheen of ice quickly claimed the scales, caused by the beast's strong affinity with Egyn and it's increadably low body temperature. Before Ignazio's very eyes new spines of ice were already working their way out and along Bahamut's body. However, the beast was not moving.
"Did we get him this time?" Ignazio spoke. The moment those words broke the silence the maw lashed out, fangs bared as it sprung like, and as fast as, a once coiled snake. A single arrow was stuck in the crease of the Dragon's left eye, frozen in place. Bahamut's wide open jaws spread far enough to easily clamp around a truck, much less a teenage boy. The action revealed the soft flesh of its throat, red and slick with fat globs of slobber.
As the arrow hit it’s mark Ignazio was swooped up by the demonic bird-woman seconds before the dragon came from the smoke with fangs bared. Ignazio was then dropped off near the smaller fountain where he once stood before and then Innocentius melted through the ice and came forth. ”From this point on you will obey me.” Ignazio said as he reached inside his blazer with his right hand and held up the card of a man on a chariot. ”From this point on, you will be known by your true name. Hyorinmaru and will take the place of the rider, in my group.” he commanded as the card glowed and the ice began to melt. The black beast vanished as the card began to absorb the frozen tundra that had formed along with the dragon. As soon as the ice and the dragon were captured, Ignazio took in a deep breath and fell to his knees and released Innocentius and Garuda as well back to Gehenna. As soon as the capture was complete he fell face first and began to bleed out more. ”I survived, and managed to capture him. Although…I don’t think I’ll…be…him...awhile.”
With that being said Ignazio passed out in the middle of the destroyed courtyard. The visions of the dragon swirled through his thoughts as dreams along with Innocentius and Garuda.
Watching the fight transpire from the safety of the barrier field, Iganzio Barthomeloi I stood there with a cellphone next to his ear and a clinched fist as he watched as his son was being thrown around by the mighty dragon. His troops were prepared to engage into combat on the simple word, but Ignazio managed to pull through. A smirk appeared on the man’s face as he removed the barrier and began to walk through the grounds slow as the emergency medical team sprinted passed him. Ignazio continued to speak on the phone creating a cover-up for the Vatican about if a S-Class creature was just summoned by his son. Ignazio denied the facts and continued to lie as he looked down at his slumbering son who was being operated on in front of him by the highly skilled doctors. He watched as the Qi moved and healed the injuries through their combined efforts. Looking around at the estate, he nodded at the good work his son managed to do keeping the estate from being completely destroyed. The inside of the house was another story, that’s for sure. Upon hanging up the phone he looked down at Ignazio’s slumbering body and then up at the sky. ”You want to defeat me so badly, you broke the laws and nearly got yourself killed to summon one of those creatures. I’ve got to hand it to you. You are your mother’s son and my son as well. Hell of a fight you put up there. Too bad you didn’t stay awake, because then I might actually think you had a chance in taking me down. If you could fully control that beast.”
Ignazio turned his back to his son and started to walk towards the entrance of the garden. ”Once you’ve finished healing him change him out of those bloody clothes and burn them then take him back to his room at the academy. I also want someone watching him at all times. That creature can’t be released ever again without being on a leash. If he tries to summon it, you are to shoot on sight.” he order as his body made its way through the rose filled maze leaving the doctors to complete their tasks on Ignazio Barthomeloi II.

"For as much as I love my home and those within it, there's just something about the town that always makes me want to return. I'm happy to be back.." Those were his only thoughts as the black car drove slowly through the town itself. Since they were not in a rush to actually get back to the school, there was no need to pressure his driver with any sort of urgency. This time, he would take in each and every one of the sights the city had to offer. During a normal day of class, if he were to enter the Campus Town, it was only so that he could gather supplies for an assignment. Otherwise, he never actually found time to traverse the town and enjoy himself. To say that he was unlike any other student would be more than an understatement. When they stopped at the next light, he took the liberty of rolling down his back window in order to allow fresh air to enter the luxurious car. When the breeze passed through, he could feel his strands of hair dancing along with the air before resting neatly along each other once more. When the light changed, the car progressed forwards, but immediately after, Lloyd had demanded that the car be stopped. The driver, in turn, slammed his foot against the brakes before pulling to the side of the road and out of the way of traffic behind them. The regular humans that walked the sidewalks did not notice, or rather, could not notice. But, the same could not be said of Lloyd. Not only had he noticed, but his familiar and soon after, the driver had taken notice of well. Now, the three were staring out in the direction of the overwhelming presence. In his lap, he could feel Celebron shaking, and the visible expression on his face was that of fear and discomfort. "Lloyd...It shouldn't be here...I-It isn't supposed to be here...A B-Bahamut.."
"I know.." His words were but a whisper as the driver looked back at him in order to await the young male's next instructions. The pillar of light that pierced the heavens themselves, was all the indication he needed to truly know that something truly terrible had been summoned. Not just terrible, but illegal. An action that in and of itself could spell destruction for the entire town if the beast could not be tamed. Closing his eyes, he took a calm breath before moving Celebron to his side. "It is rather difficult to pinpoint where the energy is coming from, since to me, it feels like its everywhere. But, the only people truly capable of bringing forth such a creature are the Barthomeloi. Please, I know you do not wish to, but take me to the Barthomeloi Estate and hurry." With a nod of reassurement, he watched his driver take a deep breath before placing his hands firmly on the steering wheel. As he exhaled, his foot slammed onto the gas pedal, and soon, the car was ripping through the streets, obeying what traffic laws they could, and as best as they could. "An actual Dragon King..A single blast from that demon could level the entire city, and yet someone actually chose to summon it here? Are they trying to prove something? No matter, I just pray I can get there to at least distract it. Then, the Vatican Forces should be able to arrive and contain the beast before measures can be taken to stop it completely. If the situation calls for it, I may be forced into using my Demon Hunter.." Demon Hunter was not something he wanted to use, and having used it once before in his life, he had no intention of ever using it again. A situation like the one he prepared himself for, or worse had to happen before he even thought of doing something stupid. Having all of his Qi pumped out of his body for one attack was reckless, and if whatever he aimed at did not die, then he became an open target, unable to defend himself.
No matter, he would think of that only when the time came. "Are you worried about your friend, Lloyd?" questioned Celebron as the Cat Sidhe quickly made his way onto Lloyd's shoulder. The small demon knew that they would be going into battle, and regardless of what happened, he would be by his master's side at all times. "Of course I am. Although, I am more worried that he may have summoned such a creature while overestimating his own abilities. Either that, or his father has gone mad and pit him against a Bahamut as a test of strength." Celebron fell quiet, and as the ride itself fell quiet, the sounds of the city seemed to disappear with it as well. Sounds did not return until the car came to a screeching halt directly outside the Barthomeloi Estate, and only because of the Barthomeloi family that seemed to take up a lot of the street itself.
"Thank you. Return home and tell only my great grandfather what has happened. Do not stop under any circumstances, and you are not to tell anyone else in the family. Alright?" After watching the driver nod his head, both he and Celebron got out of the car, Durandal gripped tightly within his hands. The car screeched as it made a quick u-turn before taking off down the street. Strangely enough, as they arrived, things seemed to be ending, and he could no longer feel the presence of the Dragon. The Barthomeloi that did recognize him were quick to point him in the direction of the father and son pair that constantly seemed to make a name for themselves. Finally after some time, he caught sight of Ignazio Barthomeloi I. Since the elder male was walking directly at him, Lloyd would take initiative. Bowing his head respectively, he began. "Mr. Barthomeloi. Forgive my intrusion, but I could not help but come here given what once was. I've come expressing my concerns. Is everything alright?" questioned Lloyd before lifting his head back up in order to look directly at the male.
The older tamer looked at Lloyd and gave a gentle smile before looking over his shoulder slightly at the wreckage of his estate, well at least the main house and the training area, those were the main concerns to Ignazio. Turning his head he looked back at Lloyd and his familiar with the same comforting smile. ”Iggy woke up this morning and just hated everything, I guess he’s acquired my aggression for mornings. It was a little scary, but don’t worry he’s fine, the doctors are tending to him.” Ignazio said as he walked passed Lloyd and then in a lower voice he said ”What you thought you saw, you didn’t see it. Even your family knows not one single tamer has that much power.” with that said he continued to walk along his way and made his way towards the garden. ”Oh Lloyd, please be careful around the house, we’re going through some major reinventions, I’d hate to see you get injured on my watch, Iggy took a nasty trip this morning which caused his little outrage it would seem. To say someone had to put him down makes him sound more like a mutt than anything, but I’ll say he fought valiantly until the very end.”
Ignazio soon entered the maze garden and made his leave from Lloyd and Celebron.

What he thought he saw, he did not? Renovations? What did the elder Barthomeloi take him for? "Will do. I'll be careful as I move around, and I'm glad to hear everything is alright." With a smile in return, he bowed his head respectively once more before watching the male disappear into the garden. Once he was sure the male was out of any type of normal visual range Lloyd's smile faded completely before he ran a hand through his hair. What did he take him for? "I know what I felt Lloyd, and whatever he says, you can not believe him! You mustn't!" To his familiar's excitement, he merely began to pet his familiar before beginning to walk through the estate. "I am well aware Celebron. Like you, I know what I felt, and there is no removing that feeling. To be precise, I am sure that I will remember that feeling for the rest of my life. However, I'd keep my voice down if I were you. In a family of powerful tamers, I doubt they'll hold their tongues when it comes to reporting back to their elder." A laugh soon followed before he continued on his journey to locate Ignazio's room. It had been some time since he was last within the Barthomeloi Estate, so his memory was still a little hazy, but for the most part he had a general idea of where things were. What he did not like, was the fact thhat Ignazio's father still believed that Lloyd could be lied too. Perhaps once before when he was a small child, but since that time, there weren't many things he could be deceived on. Especially not when it came to the feelings he received from the demons that were summoned. He would however commend the male for thinking that such a tactic would work on him still.
As his shoes tapped along the floor, he could not help but look and admire that which the Barthomeloi Estate had to offer. When compared to his family's castle, the Estate seemed to be one of the only rivals for his family in terms of outward and inward appearances. But, admiration for their home could be done at a later date. For now, he would focus on finding the male he sought. Celebron however, would not wait for Lloyd to wander until he happened upon Ignazio's room. When the Cat Sidhe took off running through the halls, he chased behind the small demon until they came upon a bedroom door. Pushing the door in slowly, he watched as Celebron made his way up the ornate bed sheet and onto Ignazio's chest. If the male was resting, then he'd surely be up now. "Rise and shine, illegal summoner!" began Celebron before Lloyd ripped the small demon from Ignazio's chest before placing him on the table in the room. There were some snacks on the table, so he left his demon there to entertain himself.
Moving to a chair located at the table, he sat down within the chair before stretching. "Your father told me you fought valiantly until the very end Ignazio. I must say, you continue to amaze me with what you can and can not do. Next time though, aim for something nice and cute, like Celebron." Sure enough, after he said it, he could feel the edge of his familiar's claw poke his skin once as a warning. "I am not cute. I am dangerous." Nodding his head twice, he looked back over to Ignazio, who he hoped would at least get out of bed. "So, are you ready to return to the joys of True Cross Academy?" questioned Lloyd with a smile.
Moaning as he rubbed his head and eyes slowly opened awakening to the voice of the Cat Sidhe and then Lloyd. The weight distribution from his chest of the cat being lifted off of him, waving his hand to swat the cat seconds before it was lifted off of him. ”How about you keep your mouth shut stupid cat.” he grunted as he slowly sat up then grabbed his stomach with his right hand. ’So they healed me enough to get around, it’ll be a good idea not to make too many crazy movements from now on.’ Ignazio heard Lloyd’s concerns and then chuckled before turning his head, he noticed his uniform had been replaced and the scent of blood was gone from him, it was done so fast. Ignazio turned his head again and looked at the clock and then looked at Lloyd. ”Amaze? Lloyd, I don’t know what you’re talking about, I haven’t summoned anything recently but Innocentius and Garuda. We had a little argument, if you didn’t notice half of the staircase is missing and part of the middle of the house. Garuda thought a sunroof would brighten up the dark wood.” he lied as he looked at the small cat and his eyes glowed with a little Qi changing the formation of his eye to appear more like a serpent or a tiger. Ignazio smirked at the cat as he started to talk again. ’Dangerous as a loud speaker, right?””If they came here because they felt it’s presence, then that would mean the barrier didn’t completely contain it. Now the question is, how far did that demonic aura travel.’
Ignazio shook his head of the thoughts and then pushed himself out of bed and stood up before making his way over to his table where all his weapons were including his summoning tarot cards. Ignazio grabbed the holster of cards and attached it to the inside of his jacket on his left breast followed by the sutras directly underneath the strap and then his knives he slid into different slots of the jacket and under his pants leg. Ignazio looked as if he was a secret agent or something similar to the method he hid his weapons. ”So what brought you here today? I mean I thought we were going to meet up at school, I didn’t think you were going to come here personally to pick me up.” Ignazio slid the final knife into his right sleeve and turned to face Lloyd as he buttoned his blazer and slid his right hand through his hair. ”It’s been awhile since we actually had class, I love vacation. My father said that during normal holidays the Cram School still had to go to classes and rarely had free time and this method is making us lazy. What do you think?” he asked with a fake chuckle and smile before turning to face the window reaching down to the table and grabbing a small green backpack and throwing it over a single shoulder.
So it seemed that Ignazio was up and well if he could call Celebron a stupid cat. Patting the top of his familiar's head, he turned in his chair in order to watch Ignazio's movements. Like his father, he chose to lie to directly to his face, which in turn, caused Lloyd to stop listening. Sure, he could have said something important within the time frame of Lloyd's ignoring spree, but it mattered not. If they did not think he could be trusted with the knowledge of the illegal summoning that took place, then so be it, but he would not hold his tongue before them. "While I am sure you and your familiars had the time of your lives arguing with one another, I doubt your loyal familiars would do anything out of place without your permission. But, perhaps a sunroof would look better? You should have taken Garuda's advice." spoke Lloyd quietly before turning back to face the table. He merely stared down into Celebron's eyes as the Cat Sidhe seemed rather annoyed with the recent turn of events. They were not fools, and to think that they would continue to endure being lied to was unheard of. When he saw Celebron prepare to speak again, he covered the Cat Sidhe's mouth by hugging him tight to his chest. Instead, Lloyd would speak up. "I had every intention of heading straight to the school to meet you there. However, the summoning of a Bahamut, and the pillar of light that shot the heavens themselves were enough to make my driver, Celebron and myself stop immediately. So, we followed the presence to your once undamaged house. I will tell you this though, summoning a Bahamut was reckless Ignazio, and while many in our school may not, I do fear for your safety at times. I'm also very sure that you took precautions to minimize whatever damage would have been caused, and to that I commend you." Putting Celebron back down onto the table, he took a calm breath before looking back to Ignazio once again. "However, if I were to tell the truth without holding back, I would express my annoyance with you and your father. There is no replacing the overwhelming presence a Bahamut gives off, and I am no fool. While both of you may lie directly to my face, I will not accept that you merely got into an argument with your familiars. Its beneath you. If you fear that I would go out into the world and tell others of what happened, then you are mistaken."
The words 'Like Father like Son' flashed across his mind before he stood up from his seat. Holding Durandal out in front of his body he looked directly at Ignazio before speaking once more. "If you require proof, then I will show you. I swear by my name, and by that of my blade. I will not breathe a word of what has happened to anything or anyone, living or dead." Allowing his arm to fall down to his side once more, he stretched before picking Celebron up. When the familiar was perched on his shoulder again, he yawned softly before glancing around the room once more. For a moment, he debated whether or not he should have answered Ignazio's last question to him. Surely it was a way to move the conversation along so that talk of the Bahamut would not be brought up again. However, with what he had just said, he doubted it mattered anymore, so he answered. "I can not say the same for vacation. It is nice to get a break from one another, and we only become lazy if we do nothing with ourselves..Seeing as you are now dressed, shall we go? I sent my driver back home so our means of transportation is on you today. We can walk, or drive to the school itself."
Ignazio stopped preparing himself once Lloyd started to show his concern and all him a liar, although it was true Ignazio lied to him, but to think his father even spoke about something like this to Lloyd was out of the norm completely. Sighing he rubbed the back of his head with his right hand and looked at the ceiling and admired the fine artistic skill around the edges before giving a response ”If you saw that light then that means the barrier wasn’t summoned fast enough. Although, for you to know it was a Bahamut without ever actually experiencing one to my knowledge is a little bit more than peculiar to me, although the fact you’re a tamer as well would explain why you could have some kind of link to noticing the Qi change between demons, but most upper level demons tend to have the same Qi pulsation from a distance especially once a barrier is created around them, containing the energy flow. So, actually proclaiming I have such power to summon a Bahamut is a little much; even for you to be my friend. I mean, that’s like calling me a criminal before even asking me if I committed a crime. You should have asked me if I summoned anything recently Lloyd. ” Ignazio lectured as he walked towards the door and turned back and gave a smile to young lord and his cat demon. Before standing proud and waving out towards the door. ”It was an accident, I didn’t think it would take the bait that simply, I was actually attempting something else, but the burning desire to defeat my father was a little bit greater than my will to find a reliable familiar.” Ignazio continued before heading outside the door and walking into the hallway which was partial destroyed, getting to the bathroom or his sister’s room would be impossible just as heading higher up the stairs which were missing. Ignazio looked down the hole which lead to the basement and started to chuckle. ”Perhaps, I did overdo this one.” he muttered before he started giggling and leaping over to the stairs and landing softly on the second step before the final step into the abyss. He began his decent as he called to Lloyd. ”Come on now, I admitted what you wanted to show my friendship, so I don’t expect anyone from your family coming after me because of this. I am not in the mood or condition to fight people on that level today.”
So, it seemed as though the young Barthomeloi was finally going to explain why, or how he had summoned the Bahamut. But, to think that a barrier put up by the Barthomeloi had not gone up fast enough was actually, sort of, amazing. They were revered as great when dealing with summoned demons, yet they could not completely seal the Dragon's presence. "True indeed, my being a tamer did help tremendously with taking notice of the Qi shift. But, the one factor that helped more than my own knowledge and ability to understand, was Celebron. He was the one who named what had been summoned. I would have asked you directly had I thought you would have told me the truth immediately. However, since your father denied be the truth for the moment I even hinted at the summoning, I assumed you would do the same. I apologize." Following behind the white-haired male, he made his way into the hallway before stopping besides Ignazio in order to examine the hole that had formed as a direct route to the basement. "At least you survived against it. Not many do, so count yourself lucky. You had Lloyd worrying over you for our entire ride!" Knowing that Ignazio could admit when he may have gone overboard was comforting, for those who could not admit their states were generally doomed to suffer from them. Not only suffer, but the world had a strange way of making sure they paid for it on the second time around. "Perhaps."
Following Ignazio's motions almost exactly, he lept to the stairs in order to land on the step. Once he had secured himself in order to make sure he wouldn't go tumbling into the darkness, he resumed. "No one will know of what happened, except my great grandfather. You should not fear anything from him though. Right now all he does is keep secrets from the rest of the family and make jokes about others in the family when they are not looking or around at all. If anything, he'll send you a letter commending your bravery, or what he'll see as good time. He will not reveal secrets about those he likes. I am oddly pleased to know that you think of us as a threat worth fighting at full strength." Laughing after his words, he continued to follow behind Ignazio as they progressed through the house. "So, can we get a ride please? I really don't want to walk, I mean not that I walk up here anyways, but still. My little paws can't handle it!" Hearing his familiar whine about the walking he would not do made Lloyd smile. In spite of disaster, a formerly-injured Ignazio and others, Celebron never loosed his child-like nature. Such a nature, whether he admitted it aloud or not, kept Lloyd sane when things seemed to be at their ultimate worse. That, and Celebron's equal refusal to back down when facing opponents.
”Was he now, well that was rather sweet of him to be worried, although it seems like even you were a little worried about me. I’ll try not to worry you both with another crazy stunt like that again.” Continuing on his walking down the stairs until reaching the based and then made his way over to his personal attendant that was with him in the basement during the summons, and explained the situation. After expressing his concerns for Ignazio’s life and how worried he was he pulled out his cellphone and made a call over to the garage to call for a car, the maids circled him and went to check on his wounds, before ogling over his body as the checked him for wounds; it was a mandatory procedure that Ignazio had put into place whenever his father would have someone heal him outside of the people Ignazio personally hired. Sighing and shaking his head and begging the girls to stop touching him, Ignazio turned his head around slightly and looked at Lloyd for a second with a smile before giving thumbs up. ”Alright, enough girls, I’m okay, but not perfect, you’re kind of hurting me.” he said as the girls slowly stopped touching him and pouted before lecturing him about the dangerous summons and how even their healing skills can’t bring back the dead. Ignazio nodded as he fixed his clothes, bring back perfection to his aura. He walked pass the group of maids and men in suits before exiting out the large doors which opened from the outside by two larger men where black sunglasses.
”Alright, I’ll see you guys later, we’re leaving now.” Ignazio chimed as he waved goodbye to the men and women inside the house as they were getting back to work moving things around. But as he was waving goodbye construction workers began to show up to the house and a small luxurious black car pulled up to the front door at the base of the stairs. ”Lloyd, let’s head out.” he called back to him as he made his way down the stairs smoothly holding a single strap to his backpack and upon reaching the car he opened the door and entered the rear seat. Setting his bag on the ground, Ignazio reached his hand into the back of the leather compartment behind the passenger seat grabbing a manila folder and smiled before closing his door. The car waited for Lloyd and Celebron to entered, meanwhile Ignazio opened the folder and pulled out a few files and went through the material carefully. ”Interesting, the demographics this semester are going to be more interesting that last it seems” he said to himself as he continued to read through the ‘confidential’ files he had requested, as well as the information on the new students of True Cross that would be living in his House.
The words flew through his mind as he looked at the images and the names of the new students joining the cram school; in which all the names and faces in the folder belonged to those whom were joining this semester. Ignazio, personally didn’t care for all the other students at the school, unless they were being used as his pawns to boost his popularity within his normal classes. Closing his eyes for a second, he thought to himself about the material as he memorized it. It was all zooming through his mind, but the initial fear of the mighty beast he had recently tamed was still stuck in his mind as well. Ignazio opened his eyes slowly and placed the folder on his lap, and waited for Lloyd, the moment the boy would enter the car, they would leave for the Academy.
"I was not worried about you! I could care less if you died! Its just that, Lloyd would be unhappy if a friend of his died!" Laughing as the two went back and forth, Lloyd remained quiet while following behind the male. Ignazio was swarmed by attendants from all corners, but even as he was, Lloyd made no noise, and no remarks. He had also put his hand over Celebron's mouth in order to keep the small demon from screaming once again in protest of Ignazio's words. When it was finally time for them to leave, Lloyd slid into the back seat of the car before closing the door behind him. School would finally begin anew, and he simply could not wait. When the car began to move, he turned his head slightly in order to watch the sights go by as they drove passed.
Two weeks had passed since the completion of his mission with Lloyd and the others; ending with the tamer having a broken arm, leg, and a few ribs. Ignazio awaken one again in his Victorian style bedroom in his family home. It had been a few months since he had been back to the Barthomeloi Estate, his father had the entire estate remodeled and built after his summoning of Hyorinmaru. Even more so, his room was a little larger than it was before. The damage to the grounds and the main house were unnoticeable at this point, the garden was still under construction at this point, but it was only because the gardeners were still arguing over which flowers belonged where and what would go around the fountains. The past two weeks was almost like living a nightmare. From listening to his father give lectures to dealing with doctors all day and night long in order to put him through rapid Qi based healing. Two weeks of hell was how he explained it; but those two weeks were worth it. His body had finally become normal once again, he was able to move his arm and leg normally and his ribs were no longer bruised or broken. No pain, other than the few headaches he was gaining from his father’s voice on how he’d have to defeat the competition without mercy and bring the Barthomeloi name to glory once again.
Today, was the day. The Exorcist Qualification Examination; this day, was going to be one that Ignazio would remember for the rest of his life, for the next two weeks, he’d be challenged in different fields and tasks in order to prove he was ready to become an official Exorcist and receive his license, by the end of everything Ignazio knew he’d cease from being a Exwire and become a full fledge Exorcist. Upon leaving his room after giving himself a long look in the mirror, he was wearing his Rajaion Uniform, but at the Exam he’d have to wear something else due to his family traditions. Ignazio, wasn’t extremely comfortable wearing the Barthomeloi traditional clothes as a tamer, they seemed really flashy, even if he looked great within them. He turned around and looked at his packed suitcases laying on top of his bed neatly, with another outfit lying down next to the black briefcases. One of the cases held all of Ignazio’s equipment he’d need for the examination, he was sure to bring extra just in case he ran out. He spent a large portion of his morning writing in Sanskrit in order to have enough talismans for this journey. Ignazio made his way over to his bed and folded the outfit into a perfect square; the boy moved his arms over to the suitcase with his clothes in it and unzipped it and pulled open the mouth before placing the traditional robes on the top of the neatly folded outfits his father collected for him to wear during the tournament.

Five minutes later after he had double checked all his belongings Ignazio’s room was crawling with men in black suits and sunglasses. The tamer sighed and took in a deep breath as he knew it was time to leave as they began to pick up his luggage. Ignazio grabbed his briefcase that held all his weapons that he was bringing with him. His tarot cards within his holster which was attached to his hip rather than his thigh now, after his incident with the Cerberus, he’s learned that a leg holster wasn’t practical for this line of work. Walking out of the room with the trail of servants behind him Ignazio’s eyes were closed as he made his way to the steps and his eyes soon opened. He wasn’t worried for the exams he was more so worried about his friends at this point. The rules did allow fatal force, but if he did use fatal force he’d kill them for sure, but if he didn’t a certain Knight would take it as an insult for holding back. Ignazio shook his head and sighed as he had found himself in an odd predicament. The thoughts filled the young tamer’s mind as he made his way down to the limo that was parked out in from of the house. Ignazio’s father waited for him at the bottom of the stairs along with his personal hand maids, whom wished him luck. The only words of encouragement that the older Barthomeloi used were ”Bring the Barthomeloi promised victory home.””Don’t worry, I’ll win for sure papa, and when I do, you better remember your promise to me.” Ignazio said cheerfully once he reached the door. Soon the male stopped and turned around and bowed at the waist and looked down at the ground. ”Thank you everyone for all your hard work! I pledge my victory for the greater glory of the Barthomeloi and to achieve our great goal!” he called out before causing the house to explode in cheers.
Ignazio raised his body and turned to the open door and made his way down the stairs to the limousine. Before he reached the stairs to reach the car Ignazio reached into the inner part of his blazer and grabbed a pair of black sunglasses and placed them over his eyes. He soon made his way down the stairs and entered the car after the door was opened for him. Ignazio placed his briefcase of weapons into the vehicle, on the floor and soon entered. Three other men entered the car after Ignazio and the four man closed the door after securing the young master’s luggage in the trunk. Moments later the car began to move and they were off, to claim victory and Ignazio’s place as an Exorcist.
