As Kaiser and Micheal were amidst the crowd of students waiting their turn to have their class revealed something in Micheal began to brew up
Hey Kaiser- can I ask you a question?
Kaiser was visibly taken aback by Micheals' request- causing Micheal to momentarily rethink if expressing himself at this moment was a good idea
...Of course you can.
Micheal with a sigh of relief began to look a Kaiser before expressing his concerns
To be 100 percent honest- I'm terrified- horrified even. All this talk about getting our classes and all this pressure that's been building up has been killing me.
Micheal-
I know- I know- I shouldn't worry about it because this isn't something that i can control, but that right there- that reason- it's the whole reason I'm afraid in the first place.
Kaiser... i have so much riding on this, more than you probably even realize- I'm not in a position where I can afford to be satisfied with a mediocre class. I "must" get a good class.... but what if i don't- then what?
With each word Micheal said Kaiser began to grow more and more concern about Micheal. It wasn't because of Micheals' fearful state, but because he understood the severity of such an outcome.
Internally Kaiser understood what Micheal had on the line and who he would lose in the process.
...
I- just don't know what to do Kaiser- I'm scared-
Micheal stared at Kaiser with tearful eyes and a face that screamed terror. On the other hand, Kaiser looked at Micheal with empathetic eyes and a face that was oddly unreadable to Micheal at the time, but soon Kaiser made a swift motion towards Micheal.
!!!
With a face brightly red and stunned by Kaisers' actions Micheal began to hold his face while looking at Kaiser.
Listen, i understand where your fear is deriving from- trust me if there's anyone here who knows then it's me- BUT I'LL BE DAMNED IF I SIT HERE AND LET YOU COWER IN FEAR.
Kaisers' face intensifying in anger with every word he shouted- while at the same time disregarding the attention he was attracting, because to him it didn't matter who might have been watching- no one at that moment nor in that area took priority over Micheal.
I- I understand. I really do and if it makes you feel better, I'm also terrified as well.
Only after those words from Kaiser did Micheal snap out of his trans and finally realize that Kaiser was shaking and had been shaking this entire time.
Just standing in this line- having to wait to find out how my destiny might unfold- idly standing by while having no control of my future- not knowing whether I'll be able to give back to my mom for all that she has given me. It terrifies me deeply.
But- that's the same reason why we must not allow ourselves to fall apart here- not before our journey starts. You're strong Micheal- I've seen the things you're capable of- which is why I'm confident that you'll carve your own path with or without a good class, so wipe your face and march forward.
To say that Micheal was overwhelmed by Kaisers' words would be to understate just how Micheal felt in that moment- to him the Kaiser in this moment was comparable to the Kaiser he met all those years ago, and this was more than enough for Micheal.
You're right. Regardless of whether i get a good class or not i will continue to strive for my end goal. Thanks for putting my head back on straight.
No problem man- what are friends for if they can't do this much right, but speaking of that it looks like you're up next.
I' am? Wow so much time has passed that i didn't even realize. Well wish me luck...hehe.
Be confident, luck has no part in this- just be who you are "confident"
Right.

Alright Mr. Phenix, are you prepared and ready to have your class revealed?
Micheal with a nervous but confident a smile on his face gives her a nod as he walks forward onto the altar while internally telling himself to be confident and to remember that he has no room for failure.
At that same moment, a great and strong aura began to envelop Micheal. Kaiser seeing this sight began to smile for Micheal as this was an indication of a strong class, but soon his smile began to fade away while being replaced with a concern look.
Huh- a dual-colored aura?? Of all people!!
Kaiser wasn't the only one to share this thought- in fact almost every student there had the same thought as Kaiser, and before anyone could even blink the room began to fill with a sense of blood lust as a note of pure energy appeared and read as such-
A mighty warrior sits on top of bone and ashes. Covered in the blood of his fallen foe with a massive sword in hand- a new creature- soon destined to bring forth a new dawn.
UR Grade Class: Dragon Slayer.
As Micheal read this text his body began to fail refusing listen to him as all the stress he had build up was then almost immediately replaced with joy- however this caused him to fall off the altar. Luckily Kaiser caught him just in time saving Micheal from hurting himself
Congrats on the class man- i never doubted you for a second.
Thanks man...go up...there...and...
Before Micheal could finish, he passed out due to the sudden rush of emotions- leaving Kaiser with nothing else but to go up to the altar.
Gulp- looks like it's my turn.
Are you ready Mr. Ulrich?
As ready as I'll ever be i suppose- let's just get this over with.
With each step Kaiser took the more his worries began to grow- sweat began to run down his face as he got closer to the approaching thought of not gaining a suitable class, and before taking his last and final step onto the altar he looked at Micheal with a nervous smile.
Ha... who am I fooling- I'm sorry Micheal it seems that I'm selfish- I'll make sure to apologize later.
After making that statement, Kaiser with a last push was finally on the altar, and with a deep breath- he stood there- thoughts flying at light speed- mind racing faster and faster until suddenly-
MR. ULRICH GET DOWN NOW!!!
Huh- Ms. Rias-
And before anyone in that area could even react a giant explosion went off directly at the altar. An explosion so strong that it caused everyone in that area to be pushed back- some were hurt- others were in shook- some were curious, but none that mattered- not to Kaiser at least.
Man… why do I feel so light. Huh- Ms. Rias why are you screaming. I feel like taking a nap….
***
Wake up!
Huh- what? Who was that?
With a swift jolt Kaiser woke up, or at least he thought he did but looking at his surroundings, he couldn't tell what state of mind he was in.
Why is it so dark in here?
Hmm- so it's a human huh? It's been ages since the last time I met a human, but how did one with such weak energy even make it to this place?
Kaisers' entire body froze at the sound of this unknown entity. From Kaisers' point of view the voice of this unknown entity strangely came from everywhere in every direction. Leaving him even more confused in his whereabouts.
Where- where are you? Where am I- What's happening!!!
Calm down human- if you continue to panic like that then you will lose yourself in this infinitely expanding void, and to answer your question… well in simple terms your currently outside of the observable dimension.
Dimension? Wait wait- that can't be right- I was just on planet Iris!
Human, do you remember how you gained access to this place?
Uh, no not really. All I remember is going onto an altar for class selection and then and explosion went off and-
At that moment Kaiser came to a scary revelation, and the more he thought about it the closer closer he came to accepting this thought.
Am- am I dead??!! It all makes sense now. This aloft feeling consumed my senses, so then doesn't that make you God?
Although Kaiser could not see the entity for some odd reason, he could sense that it was baffled by what he said and at that same moment the entity began to laugh.
Boy- I' am much more then some lowly god. You couldn't even comprehend what I' am, but it put it in terms you can understand I'm a being that exist outside of everything.
I see…
And no your not dead. The souls of the dead do not come here. For some odd reason your subconscious was brought here.
Hmm- oh maybe it's because your supposed to give me my class.
The entity jolted back at the arrogance of this thought from such a lowly being. Uncertain on whether this human was serious or not caused the entity to think about the unpredictability of humans.
Boy I don't even know your name.
Oh yeah that's right- my name is Kaiser Ulrich
[!!!]
I see… well since your capable of making it here I supposed that I shall grant you sponsorship.
Kaisers' eyes flared up with excitement only to be shut down just as fast.
Calm down that amount of power you will be given will be dependent on what you can currently handle, so I'm a sense how strong you are is entirely up to you.
Ah I see- well thst should still be fine. This is infinitely better than getting something trash-
(Awake)
Huh-
Before Kaiser could even comprehend or digest what had just happened, he came to the realization that he was staring at a ceiling and after taking a look around her soon realized that he was in a hospital.
But before he could even come to his senses properly- he noticed someone in the corner of his eye siting right next to him.
Kaiser…
Mom…
And just like that Kaisers' mom hugged his body tightly which obviously, but at the moment Kaiser didn't care about anything else besides embracing his mother's warmth.

DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!!! THAT FUCKER SHOULD BE DEAD!!!!
Mr. 1 please calm down- you're letting this set back get to you. Relax yourself well have plenty of opportunities to kill him.
…You're right Ms. 2- I got to carried away with my anger, but while we're in this subject where's Mr. 3
Oh, he said that he had an old friend he had to see today.
