Erza POV

"So what the master of a Fairy Tail knows about curse marks" I asked, as we walked down, Wendy and Lucy had told the others what happened. Now everyone wants to learn magic, so we were going to the library to find books about the magic we want to learn. I didn't need to go, but I didn't want to be around Jellal today, and plus I was hoping for some really good books to read. We got to the library and spread out looking for books. Lucy went to the celestial magic section, Levy went to the script magic section, Wendy went to the wind magic section, while me and Mira went to the curse section, to see if we could find anything about curse marks. I found a book, titled, The Black Wizard, it interested me, so I took it, then I found a book called, Demon Books of Zeref, so I also got that book, I wanted to see the dark magic. I sat down and started to read, I finished the first and started on the second. Zeref was a wizard who was cursed apparently for trying to bring his dead brother back to life, he created things called the, demon books, that had demons in it. The demons were actually real and powerful, but I didn't get anything else. Then I went out of the library to see exactly how big this place was, I was walking in the courtyard and heard metal clashing together, I knew that it was two swords hitting each other. I followed the noise and when I saw what was making that noise I saw, Jellal and a guy fighting with swords, Jella was like a clumsy child, while the guy was like a dancer, instead of fighting. I knew that he must've been teaching Jellal how to use a sword, but he was doing it wrong. So I walked out and said, "stop" both guys looked at me, and the guy said, "who are you" Jellal said, "this is Erza, my maid, what do you want" I smiled and said, "I'm here to help you, I see that you don't know how to use a sword properly right, well I could, teach you, this oaf is not helping you at all" that seemed to make the guy mad because he said, "how about you fight me, whoever wins, is right" I smiled and said, "ok" that seemed to set the guy off of his game a bit. But he picked up his sword and pointed it at me. I said, "requip" and my body glowed, when it was over I was in my Clear Heart Clothing, which consisted of, a sarashi around my upper chest, and a red hakama that had a flame pattern at the bottom, and my hair was tied into s ponytail, and I had a sword in my hand. I faced him, and he attacked me.

"So Jellal, now hold the sword and get ready to fight" I told Jellal, he held the sword but I saw that he held it to tightly, and with both hands, and I saw that the sword was a one handed weapon, I laughed and said, "no, don't hold the sword so tight, it should be relaxed not tense, and that's a one handed sword, you don't hold it with one hand" he let go of the sword with his left hand and held it in his right hand. He also loosened his grip on the sword a bit, I smiled and said, "now attack me" he looked confused but swung his sword to attack me. But he was slow and clumsy, and I easily blocked it, I found out what was wrong though, he was to tense, even though he loosened his grip his body was tense and stiff. I stopped and said, "no, you got to relax, sword fighting is like dancing, imagine the sword being part of your arm, it's a limb that you have, you have to be one with the he sword, or else it's just going to be slow, clumsy, and you'll never get any better" he stopped and said, "this feels weird, I'm being taught how to use a sword by a girl and my own maid, who beat the best sword fighter in the estate without even breaking a sweat" I laughed and said, "well I better get a strawberry cake after this, now attack me again" he nodded and attacked me, then he said, "if you win I'll get you two strawberry cakes, but if I win you have to eat a jar of sour plums" I said, "your on" then I attacked him, he blocked it, he attacked me I blocked it. I saw that he was getting faster and better, he no longer looked out of place, he was relaxed, like dancing. I smiled and kept attacking him.

"Ow, that hurts, I'm going to have to go to the infirmary, to get these bruises taken care of" Jellal said as we walked, he was limping slightly, while I was walking beside him without a scratch on me, he was covered in bruises, where my sword hit him, I didn't break any bones or made sword cuts, my sword was dull, so he only got bruises, I laughed and said, "well you aren't going to quit on me tomorrow, even if you have bruises, you need to master pain" he nodded then said, "sorry but we can't do this tomorrow, I totally forgot, tomorrow our cousins are visiting as a family get-to-together" I nodded and said, "well if you need me call me" I walked away. I started to think about everything that has happened, this experience has been fun, and we were safe from the curse marks, but how long would that last. I was still thinking about that when I went to bed.
