The Labyrinth Court R Chapter Two

Sorry for the long wait, I'm always so preoccupied with my Yu-Gi-Oh fandom and my brain just craves for it. Anyway, let's get this started!

The Labyrinth Court R

"Geez, you're really left-handed and you've never even bothered to tell me?" Meryl whistled as Mazia started effortlessly hitting the rocks over the net, and by effortlessly, I mean just almost perfectly. "You never asked, it's only fair Meryl." She retorted nonchalantly as Meryl rolled her eyes. "Whatever, anyway you've already reached the goal. Congrats, you've gotten a hundred percent on this room." Mazia nodded and placed the racquet in the corner as the net descended down. Meryl was waiting, holding Mazia's black and gold racquet.

"So, which room is next?" Mazia asked as Meryl handed her the racquet she owned and they walked out the room. "Next is speed- ah, the advanced exercise." Meryl commented as they entered the room. There were many tennis balls in multiple baskets and there was some type of treadmill but the handles weren't equipped to it. "In this room you'll be running that treadmill while hitting back the balls, you're goal is 500 miles per hour or more." Meryl explained as she pushed Mazia onto the treadmill. "Now, let's start before class does!" Mazia nodded and got into position to run and swing her racquet. "Geez, is training like this done every day?" Mazia asked as the treadmill started. "Yep, the training is used to strengthen our weaknesses and specialties. After all, we're aiming for the Nationals!" Meryl cheered as Mazia was hitting ball after ball on the treadmill.

"Sounds fun but you can't win." Mazia commented as Meryl blinked, "What do you mean?" Mazia smirked and hit another ball back. "You can't win without me of course." Meryl rolled her eyes at Mazia's reply and watched her hit ball after ball. "Well, it really wouldn't be much of a tennis team if we didn't have someone who's practically obsessed with it." Meryl playfully shot back as the treadmill went faster; right now it was set on 50 miles per hour. "Thank you," Mazia simply said as she hit the ball back once again and it went up another mile. More and more miles were added as sweat started to trickle to Mazia's chin, but she didn't give in to exhaustion.

"Approximately 50 miles more and you'll achieve your goal and a hundred percent for this room, Mazia." Meryl says as she could barely spot Mazia nod and hit another ball. "How's she doing so far, Mer-chan?" A third year girl had walked in, she was Urusumi Reika, and Reika had bright wavy locks of dark violet and sharp blue eyes like Fuji Syusuke. Reika, she is considered a very analytical and quiet girl but she's not all that bad once you get to know her.

"She's at about 458 miles per hour right now," Reika nodded and wrote something down, she left quickly but had informed them, "Classes are about to start in fifteen minutes, after this you two should hurry and get changed." Both Mazia and Meryl nodded as Reika left the speed room. "Well, that can only mean one thing!" Mazia shouted and sprinted as the miles increase as the ball speed did as well. "Mazia, take it easy or you might break the treadmill!" Meryl yelled as Mazia got the wrong idea, "Are you calling me fat!?" "NO, OF COURSE NOT MAZIA!" Meryl frantically waved her arms as Mazia reached 480 miles. "Sure," Meryl rolled her eyes and glanced at the racquet shaped clock on the stone wall. "Better finish this before class starts," Mazia didn't reply as she panted and kept on running. "490 miles; 10 more to go,"

LATER

"I hate this…" Both Meryl and Mazia had quickly tried to dress themselves as the clock was ticking. "Being late on my first day, tch, well my attendance seems very good." Mazia sarcastically cheered. "Well it's not my fault someone tripped," Meryl pointed as Mazia dropped her hat on her head as she stuck her tongue out, "Well it's not my fault someone decided to leave their jacket on the floor to get tripped on." She countered as Meryl countered her counter with a counter, "Well it's not my fault someone is natural clumsy." Meryl grinned victoriously as Mazia smirked, "Well it's not my fault that someone has no common sense in their genes." She slung her tennis bag over her shoulder and smirked triumphantly. "Sorry but you can't beat me now," Mazia swiftly rushed out of there as Meryl shook her head and sighed. "That girl never changes," She smiled to herself despite that. "But I guess that's a good thing."

SOMETIME LATER

"My name is Mazia… it's nice to meet everyone." Mazia blandly introduced herself as the teacher looked at her strangely. "Just 'Mazia'?" He asked as Mazia glanced at him. "Why not, now please tell me where I am to be seated." She replied as everyone was silent. "O-of course, you'll be seated next to Echizen. Echizen please raise your hand, Echizen?" Mazia followed the teacher's gaze and found a boy who rested his head on his desk. "I guess not, well Mazia-san… your seat is next to that sleeping boy over there." The teacher pointed as Mazia followed the direction. As she sat down, Mazia set her tennis bag down and the golden letters of her name shined. The teacher stared at her for a moment as he said, "Umm, no hats in the building please." Mazia's hand twitched and hesitated.

"Is that acceptable?" Mazia slowly nodded and she placed her hat into her tennis bag. As her hat came off, Mazia's midnight blue hair flowed out and took its place loosely. "Not a problem," She replied as class begun.

SOMETIME AFTER CLASS

Mazia was organizing her stuff as someone came up to her, "You like tennis right?" She stuffed some stuff into her school bag as she replied, "Yep." The boy grinned arrogantly and introduced himself. "Well my name's Horio and I have two years of tennis experience!" As she finished, Mazia turned her head towards Horio and blinked. "Good for you, I have nine years of tennis experience and my name's Mazia." Mazia stood and slung her tennis bag over her shoulder as she walked out but paused. "And nice to meet you." She politely finished and left him standing dumbfounded.

SOMEWHERE AT THE (ABOVE GROUND) TENNIS COURTS

Mazia casually strolled around the boys' tennis courts as she sighed. Suddenly, at the corner of her eye something piqued her interest. There was three second-years and three first-years on the court, Mazia watched some boys poorly serve to a can. Discreetly, she pulled out her black and gold racquet as she placed her bag gently on the ground.

"Horio, with two years of tennis experience will now try his hand." Horio announced as Mazia quietly watched and entered through the door. She silently took her place next to the guy she previously sat by, Echizen.

"10,000 yen is mine!" Mazia watched the ball fly past the can silently sighed.

"You can't even hit it even with 100 tries!" Horio exclaimed as he served and the ball had skimmed the can. Mazia perked up hearing the sound the can emitted when it was hit, 'There are rocks in the can…', she thought to herself.

"Hey you two chibis over there, you should try it too." One of the second years asked as Mazia secretly smirked to herself and held her racquet in hand. "Sure I'll do it," Echizen replied as he took his red racquet out. "I'll try it too," Mazia also replied as the second years stared at her for a moment and laughed. "Sure, more money for us."

"You can't knock it down if you went directly at the can," Echizen said as the second year asked, "What are you talking about?" Mazia looked at the second years and replied, "There are rocks in there, when that guy hit it a sound came from the can faintly sounding like rocks." Echizen served and the ball hit the top of the can as it dropped and rocks had fallen from it. "Well there are no excuses now," Mazia commented as she served as well and the ball had hit creating a small dent in the can. Both Echizen and Mazia began hitting the can over and over without a miss.

"If I hit it 100 times, are you going to give me 1,000,000 yen?" Echizen asked as Mazia added, "Sounds fair," Both continued to serve at the can continuously but Echizen was interrupted by the second years. "How can you use that tone with a junior?" One of the second years yelled as Mazia watched Echizen reply, "Just because you were born a year earlier doesn't justify you doing this." Suddenly, Mazia heard a swish of a tennis ball in the air. Instinctively, she sharply turned to it and saw the ball hit and create a dent larger than Mazia had created herself earlier. It seemed to be a second year named 'Momo' so Mazia had walked over to her tennis bag and slipped her racquet in. Echizen was about to take his leave as well but he was stopped by Momo. Mazia decided to pay no mind to it and slung her bag over her shoulder but other voices had begun to join in. About two more girls that seemed to be first years like her and reporters, Mazia was about to walk away until she heard the words… Twist Serve.

"I have the 'Labyrinth Court' to worry about… not this." Mazia muttered to herself as she finally took her leave but was once again paused in place. "Hey, aren't you going to stay and watch Ryoma-kun's match Mazia-san?" Horio asked from the umpire chair as many looked at her. "So you're Mazia-chan," Momo had said as Mazia glanced at him. "What about it?" He shrugged and replied, "Nothing really it's just I heard from Meryl-chan that you want to join the girls' tennis team." "Eh!?" She could hear some of the fellow first years (excluding Ryoma) exclaim as the reporters glance at her.

"Mazia-san, what's your last name?" The male reporter asked as Mazia stared at him. "Harunai… that's my last name."

(DUN DUN DUN)

"H-Harunai, as in HarunaiCorp?" The male reporter asked in shock as Mazia stared at the ground. "Yes… as in HarunaiCorp. My full name is Harunai Karin Tsubasa Hikari Mazia, if that's what you wish to know." She replied and began to make a step towards the opposite direction. "Mazia-san, you're not going to watch the match?" The girl with the braids asked but Mazia was tired of answering questions and left as soon as possible.

SOME OTHER TIME LATER THAT DAY

Mazia yawned as class ended for the day and grabbed her tennis bag to hightail it out of the classroom. Silently putting on her favored cap, her mind flew elsewhere as she leisurely walked through the halls towards the tennis courts. Not particularly paying attention to most of the objects around her, Mazia miraculously made it… to the boys' tennis courts… again. She sighed to herself and walked inside to ask where the girls' courts were. Turns out, the tall man wasn't there at the time to answer for Mazia.

"You…you were from earlier." The second year from earlier had pointed out as Mazia glanced at him. "Harunai Mazia is the name, not that it'd be relevant." He grits his teeth and replied, "Being disrespectful to your senpai with not go unpunished kid." Mazia leisurely stared at him in the eye and confidently said, "You're not worth my time if you aren't a challenge."

ON THE COURT (A/N: It'll only be a one game match.)

"I'm going first," Mazia stated as she got into position. The second year, Arai, didn't mind and took his position opposite of her. "Do your worst, chibi-chan." Arai smirked, hoping that Mazia would be agitated by his remark. Although, she shown no sign of expression except for… boredom.

"Shiagari (Translation: Finish)," Mazia mumbled as she threw the tennis ball up high and smacked it with her racquet. It looked like a normal serve so Arai had dismissed it as one. As he was about to return it, the ball was still spinning nonstop on the ground and suddenly cast itself upwards a few millimeters as it glided around Arai's ankle and dropped.

"W-What kind of serve was that?" "Even pros never invented a serve like this!" "Who is she?"

Mazia ignored the whispers and served the same serve as Arai tried to return it, "Ite!", but tripped by doing so. "By the way, I call this serve… Teguchi Tenkuu (Translation: Trick's Air)." Mazia added as she served Trick's Air two more times.

Both players went to the middle and Mazia asked, "Where are the girls' tennis courts?" Arai grit his teeth and pointed to the direction. "Thank you and," Mazia had her back turned to him as she finished, "Work harder or you'll never reach my level." She smirked tauntingly and left nearly all the bystanders dumbfounded but there was one boy in the crowd who shared the same smirk.

"Mada mada dane."

END OF CHAPTER TWO

Well we didn't get to see all the rooms of the Labyrinth Court but we will in the next chapter most definitely! Also, I'll have most moves be in romanji but after it's shown I'll refer it to the translated name. Anyway, you've got a glimpse of Mazia's service ability so what do you think's next? Find out in the next chapter of the Labyrinth Court R where everything is different!

"Haruka's Pas De Deux… is completely sealed."

"Sorry but… it's time for me to get serious, Haruka-senpai."
