MISSING SCORE:

Chapter I – "Who Needs Girls!"

At the Prontera Knights School , 3rd year, Section Wielding Spear –

"Hey losers! Check it out! I'm already qualified according to the head knight to be ready for my job change!" shouted the young knight as he entered the room.

Anthony Nefala, a 15 year old braggart swordsman of the spear, one of the best students of the knights' guild, was able to pass the tests with flying colors. His talent is so superb that it reached the High Knights Council.

"Shut up Tony! Even though you are one of the top students here, your attitude sucks! I wish that the council will withdraw the decision!" One of his classmates stood up, unable to resist the pressure of Tony's boasting.

"Come here and say that again…if you don't want to be cut into shreds!" Tony countered his classmate with a threat, unsheathing his sword slowly.

"Bring it on Tony! Gimme your best shot!" replied his classmate as he moves his hand, attracting Tony to get closer to him.

As the fight is about to start, Tony quickly prepared his stance and struck the first blow.

"Baaaaaaaaaa----!"

"Stop this, you two! This will lead you to nothing!" a girl's voice was heard from the scene.

"Sakura! What the hell are you doing here! You're from the other section! Don't even bother disturbing our own business!" Tony shouted.

Maria Sakura Kisaragi, a 17 year swordsman of the two-handed sword, section Breakers, also one of the top students of the school, she's Tony's classmate in the 1st year, but they got separate sections since 2nd year because they have different builds.

"Me? I'm here to congratulate you. But since your bad attitude reached me, I'll just take back my words." Sakura replied

"Wha…what? You're here to congratulate me? Why would I believe your story!"

"I won't force you to believe. I'm going now. Good luck to you then…" as Sakura turned about and left the room.

"You were lucky someone had to butt in! You would have been history if she hadn't interfered!" Tony said to his classmate cutting the climax of the fight.

Tony couldn't believe what Sakura said, so he decided to talk to her one on one after classes.

KRIIIIIIIING! the bell rang for dismissal. Tony rushed to section Breakers to converse with Sakura.

"There she is, now is the time!" Tony said to himself

"Uh…Sakura...Would you mind if I talk to you for a sec? Something bothers me, you know...?" Tony was looking at the floor while talking.

"What is it now?" said Sakura in a seemingly bad mood.

"I'm sorry for what happened…and uh…about what you said earlier, why would you congratulate me? I'm not that famous you know…"

"Oh that? Forget about what happened. And about the thing that I said…when I was helping the vice-principal arrange his papers, I saw your grades, progresses and mastered techniques there. They were all top-notch. I was hoping that if you could help me on my training…"

"Me! Sure I'll help you out!…if it's the only way you can forgive me…" Tony replied in a humble and sorry manner.

"I already told you to forget about what happened. But thanks anyways! Can we start tomorrow after classes? That is…if you don't mind…" Sakura shyly asked.

"I don't mind! I have nothing to do at those times anyways! See ya at the sparring grounds tomorrow!"

"Thanks! You're such a nice guy. I'll be going home now. See ya!" Sakura waved her hand to Tony as she was running towards the exit.

Tony blushed as he was staring at Sakura waving at him. And he slapped himself left and right.

"Damn! What's wrong with me! What's this feeling! I feel strange…or maybe I'm just tired…I think I also have to go home now…" Tony said to himself as he was leaving school.
