Chapter 11
Lucy sits next to Cobra. She smiles at his sleeping expression.
"Hey Cobra! The doctors said it is alright for me to visit today and I am really happy for that." Lucy's voice cracks slightly from sadness. "How long has it been since I have heard your voice? Seven years maybe?" Lucy tries to laugh it off but fails. She lowers her head so that her eyes are not visible.
"Hey Cobra… I heard the doctors talking and I over heard them saying that the possibility of you waking up is less than ten percent. They must be lying right? I mean you made a promise with me… You said that you would forever stay by my side" Tears start to fall downward on Lucy's face. She grits her teeth and sniffs.
"I know Cobra… Even if you do wake up, you will never forgive me. I mean, I broke the very last promise we made before that incident" Lucy's eyes turn dull and sad. She remembers the loneliness and sadness of this world.
"I'm sorry Cobra… Please forgive me" Lucy reaches out to his left hand and holds it. Her tears fall off of her face, onto his hands.
"It's too late right?" Lucy looks at his face and lays her hand onto his forehead. She brushes his hair back while leaning forward and kisses his forehead.
"Miss Hearfilia? I'm sorry but you will have to leave for today" The nurse smiles brightly at Lucy, making her frown.
"…How can you still smile at me even though you know that he won't wake up…" Lucy whispers under her breath. He glares at the nurse under her bangs. Unfortunately, the nurse didn't see Lucy glare at her; she just continues to smile warmly at her.
"I'm sorry did you say something" The nurse asks calmly.
Lucy just beams a sparkling smile at the nurse and replies, "No, I said nothing". With that, Lucy walks out of the room and starts to weep silently while leaning on the door.
"Why did you have to leave me all alone?" Lucy whispers to herself as she wipes her tears away with her sleeve, yet again. Lucy leaves the hospital, alone, crying softly to herself. On her way out of the hospital, a specific blue haired girl spots Lucy and starts to worry about her. She was going to say something but she just carries on walking.
Today was the day the test, Magic measurer, would start. Lucy stands on the field, ready to take on whatever was going to fling at her. She has her hair up in two high ponytails so that it won't get in the way. Rogue walks up behind Lucy and taps her shoulder. Lucy rotates her head around.
"Hey Rogue" Lucy looks at Rogues eyes.
"Hey Lucy… Are you all right? You seem a bit tired." He says with a worried tone.
"I'm fine…" Lucy says while looking away. "I was just crying. That's it." Lucy mumbles quietly so Rogue wouldn't hear her. Lucy tightens her fist into a ball and tries to fire herself up.
"I'm ready for the test." Lucy says with no expression towards Rogue. "By the way, what is the magic measurer?" Lucy tilts her head to the side in a questioning matter.
Rogue face palms himself mentally and stares at Lucy. "The magic measurer is basically going to measure your magic and determine your level. I predict you will get into the S class or maybe even the SS class" Rogue explains to Lucy.
"I see…" Lucy mentally notes down what Rogue just said. She turns around to look at the students preparing for their test. Some are stretching, while others are training their skills.
"This will be a piece of cake then…" Lucy whispers to herself proudly. She flashes a quick smirk then turns back to face Rogue. "Who is the top mage in Sabertooth?" Lucy asks with a hint of an evil tone in her voice.
"Well that would be Sting." Rogue says as he rubs the back of his head.
"I see" Lucy shines a fake smile a Rogue, making him blush slightly. "Thank you" Lucy takes a big breath and exhales. She observes everyone around her, looking at every single student present in her sight. She calculates the most likely rank for each and every one of the students.
After Lucy finishes 'scanning', she spots Sting and playfully glares at him. "I will defeat you in the magic measurer today!" Lucy points her index finger at him and declares without thinking. She closes her mouth from realization and flushes slightly from embarrassment.
"Haha! You might be good at studies and stuff but you wont be able to beat me when it involves magic!" Sting says proudly as he sticks his head high up in the air.
"Shall we make a another bet then?" A shadow forms over Lucy's eyes as she smirks.
"Fine then. It would make this challenge more interesting" Sting tilts his head to the side.
"…I might as well join you guys then…" Rogue crosses his arms. He stares at the top two students of Sabertooth. Lucy and Sting both avert their eyes to gaze at Rogue. The atmosphere was tense; all three students want to beat each other.
"Whoever wins this bet will have their lunch for a month." Lucy offers. Rogue and Sting gulp; Lucy's lunches were always the best.
"Alright, deal" The twin dragon slayers say at the same time.
"All students please go to their designated area now" The announcer announces.
Lucy, Sting and Rogue all head towards the archery area. A teacher with black hair stands next to the red and white targets.
"Alright! So this test here is to determine your accuracy." The teacher shouts with his hand next to his mouth. "The targets will first start in a still position but they will gradually move as the stages progress." The teacher explains as he points to the targets.
"Use your magic to shoot the targets" The teacher takes his stopwatch out. "Shoot them as quickly and as accurate as possible."
3!
2!
1!
START!
Lucy quickly uses her electric magic to create a bow and arrow. She stretches string at lightning speed and shoots her arrow straight through the middle. The target disappears and three more appear. Shooting three more arrows, Lucy increases the amount of magic she is using to make her electric go faster.
After a few minutes of rapid shooting, Lucy finally reaches the stage where the targets are moving with unpredicted direction.
"…Focus…" Lucy holds her breath and lets the string of her bow go. The arrow pierces the target and confetti is thrown in Lucy's face.
"Congratulations. You finished in a mere amount of four minutes plus you got every single target in the middle! You are the first one to finish" The teacher congratulates Lucy. Lucy eyes widen, staring her teacher.
"First one…" Lucy blushes smiles slightly but turns around and crosses her arms. "It's natural for me to become the first one!" Lucy hides her smile and blush from everyone else.
"Is everyone else done yet?" Lucy looks over to Sting. His face holds a serious expression. His eyes are fully concentrated on the targets. Lucy stares at Sting with amazement; she never knew that Sting could hold an expression like this.
Sting finishes his last stage and sighs. "DONE!" Sting says while shooting his arms up in the air. "See Lucy I told you I would finish faster than you because I am the great Sting Euc-" Sting cuts off his speech as he is met with Lucy's eyes.
"No way… You finished before me…" Sting pinches himself on the cheek as if he thought he was dreaming. "At least I am second…" Sting sulks on the ground.
"Sorry Eucliffe" The teacher looks at him with pity on his face. "You are third" The teacher breaks to Sting.
"WHAT?! Then who is second?" Sting demands.
"Me…" Sting turns around to see Rogue.
"ROGUE!" Sting grabs Rogues collar and growls at him evilly but playfully. "You never told me that you were this good!" Sting starts to shake Rogue.
"You never asked" Rogue says back.
"Anyways!" Lucy interrupts both of them. "What is next?" Lucy looks at her notes.
"We should be on the strategy test now." Sting says with his arms crossed. "I hate this test. It's really difficult" Sting pulls a disgusted expression.
"Strategy huh?" Lucy's eyes start to sparkle. "This test sounds fun." Lucy teases Sting indirectly.
"Well so far, Sting has never gotten higher than me in the strategy test but in the other tests he gets way higher than me." Rogue admits.
"Don't tell her that!" Sting complains towards Rogue.
Lucy continues to walk and doesn't notice the person in front of her. Lucy bumps into the stranger. "Ah… I'm sorry." Lucy apologizes half-heartedly.
"Next time look where you are going. " The stranger flicks her tongue. The woman insults Lucy under her breath.
"Huh?!" Lucy glares daggers into the woman's back. "Do you want to say something to me?" Lucy growls.
"I don't have time to hassle with children. I'll fight you later." The rude woman smirks at Lucy, making Lucy even angrier. Lucy tightens her fist into a sphere, surrounding her fist was now fire.
"Don't bother with her Lucy. She's not worth your time." Sting holds both of Lucy's shoulders, trying to calm her down. Lucy takes a deep breath and calms down.
"Who is this dumb woman anyways?" Lucy says coldly with no emotions. Sting and Rogue shiver from Lucy's coldness.
"That is Minerva Orlando. She always gets in the top five within this school. She is really strong." Rogue explains.
"Hmmm…" Lucy thinks as she puts her finger onto her chin. "I want to battle her. I want to see if she is worthy of insulting me." Lucy says with a creepy smile.
He reaches his right hand out to touch the glass window. He opens his eyes for a moment then closes them again, whispering, "Lucy, I can hear your pain."
