thequietgenuis- thanks for your review. i only work on short chapters because the story is for my friend who doesn't like long fanfics. But I'll do my best to make it longer.

Due to the attack on Sophia, Fayt decided that it would be best if Sophia will have extra training so she would be stronger.

But, there was a small problem. There wasn't anyone who is available at that time. Everyone was busy.

"Great…" Fayt said and sighed.

"Who can train Sophia? Oh, that's right I haven't asked Albel yet. It would be a real miracle if he agrees to do this. Well, there's nothing wrong in asking!"

Albel was sitting near the window, staring blankly outside. Again, he was in his own world thinking about whom else, Sophia. He was really confused, you know.

He didn't hear Fayt saying something to him.

"So, I was wondering if you could train Sophia since you're very strong and all…" Fayt said.

"Umm, hello! Earth to Albel! Fayt nearly screamed.

Albel snapped out from his thoughts.

"Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever, worm."

Fayt was taken aback. It was a miracle!

"Gee, thanks Albel! I thought you wouldn't agree. She'll be waitng for you outside Airyglyph after lunch, okay. I'll go tell her right away."

Fayt left leaving Albel all alone.

"What did the worm just say?"

Uh-oh Albel is in a lot of trouble!
