Hello my dragon army. So now here's what I needed the fan art for. I'm doing profiles for each of the Phantoms and basically giving them two theme songs (since I can't decide on one) as well as small bonus chapters of some funny things that happened to them off screen that were mentioned a few times in the story or just scenes I found funny but couldn't find the time or place to put them in. That's what the next few chapters will be about. And the last one will be the entire team. The rest of this chapter will be me giving shout outs and giving credit where credit is due. Please do read through this because who knows? You may find something for you in there. 

Inspiration: Assassination Classroom and Persona 5.

First I need to thank Yusei Matsui for creating Assassination Classroom. Being honest I've only watched the anime and read fanfics about the series but that doesn't mean the series didn't have an impact on me. It did. Assassination Classroom is the only anime that has actually made me cry my eyes out at then end of it and Karma has and always will be my favorite character. Persona 5 is part of a video game series that my friend Brooklyn recommended that I watch. I'm glad she showed me it. When I first started this book I immediately hit a road block with it because I didn't know how to continue it. Thanks to Persona 5 I was able to make the story unique in it's own way.

Shout outs: To Spacedemon61 and ShadowTriad14     

You two know who you are. When I first got the idea of writing a Karma x Reader Spacedemon encouraged me to do so. And I'm glad she did. I'm glad that she kept reading this story and awaited the next chapter patiently. Thank you for being here all the way through! ShadowTriad kinda acted as a co-writer half way through the story. She gave me a few ideas and has been helping me with ideas for the sequel and helping me brainstorm things for Kiss of Insanity 5, another Karma x Reader that I'm working on (first two chapters have already been published). And I'm happy to know that these two will keep helping and supporting me. Thank you both!

Shout out: To Madiarts    

Madiarts has been a wonderful support throughout this story and many of my other books. She's a talented young artist and I really appreciate the support from her. All the pictures of the Phantoms in the next few chapters are all made by her so go an check her out! Madiarts thank you so much for supporting this story and making art for it! 

Art: I OWN NOTHING!

The cover of this book I found on Google if you know who drew that give them my thanks! Anything else is either part of a video I found on YouTube or was made by Madiarts. Once again thank you for being amazing!

Final Shout out: To all the readers

Thank you all so much for taking the time to read Red and Black Blood. It means so much to me that you all decided to sit down and read this story from cover to cover, and it saddens me that this is where the story ends (or is it?). This is the first x Reader that I have ever made and I'm happy that I was able to complete it. For all the readers that have been here since the beginning thank you for supporting me and reading though this journey. For any new readers that may have stumbled upon this book after it's completed or you just recently found this story I hope you'll continue reading some of my other stories. Like I mentioned earlier I do have another Karma x Reader on this channel. Thank you all for reading and supporting. It is appreciated greatly. 

Final News: The Sequel,  Editing, and Koro-quest

Now I'd like to point out I am making a sequel to this story. Just because the anime ended doesn't mean that I have to stop this story. I love it to much to let it go just yet. The sequel will be about the Phantoms and their adventures seven years after the events of the anime. Another thing I'd like to point out is that this story will be going under editing for a while. I will be changing up a few things in the first few chapters so that things line up a little better as well as spell checking things. I'll be fixing grammar, spelling, as well as just tweaking a few things here and there. Back to the sequel. I'll be calling the sequel Red and Black Blood 2. Yes I suck at names, I know. The cover will be different but it should be out sometime after this story is completed. So make sure to keep your eyes peeled alright? Now I'm also making a Red and Black Blood Koro-quest version that will be released between this book and the sequel.  

I think that just about covers it...It's really ending huh? It seemed to go by so quickly. I truly did enjoy writing this story...more than most of you might realize. Reliving all the memories and moments from Assassination Classroom with my own spin on them thanks to Shadow was truly wonderful. It almost felt as if I was a part of the Assassination Classroom myself. I'm so happy that I was able to share this with you all. Thank you. Thank you so much for reading this story. May the stars light your paths my dragon army. Goodbye for now.                     

Although the winds of change have swept through the forest of life six trees remain unchanged. The first tree, with bark as dark as the night sky, still stands tall over all the other trees. She remains standing strong to take the brunt of the wind, snow, and hail. She protects those smaller and weaker than her just like she always has. The second tree, the fiery red wood, still never backs down when challenged. Not even the strongest winds have been able to make him lose his ground. Never wavering, he continues learning from the tallest tree, so that he to can protect those under him. The third tree, smaller than the rest, has drifted apart from their close circle. But even so he finds himself next to them once again. Ready and eager to learn from the black tree once again. The fourth tree, the blooming sakaura tree, still continues to watch over the others. Using her colorful petals to watch the winds and warn the others of what is to come. The fifth tree, the silver tree made of stone, is just as strong and un-moving as he was. Still he learns from the tallest tree, admiring her for her courage and strength. Looking up to her as not only his best friend, but as his mentor. And finally the sixth tree, the newest one to the family, still keeps a watchful eye out for his comrades. Happy to be a part of his true family. He still learns more about them and himself everyday. And he still appreciates the support he gets from the tallest tree. They all remained the same but what's this? It appears two new saplings are growing from the roots of the second and the first tree. And two new trees are seen in the distance. One just as tall and as strong as the first tree. And the other smaller than all the rest but just as strong as the rest. Are these new additions to the family?                                                              ~Flame Dragonheart Draco/Author-Chan
