"Good Morning Everybody!" I said.
"Give me back my pudding!" Magna shouted as always. Luck had stole his pudding yet again.
"Geez, Luck. Grow up. You're 15." I said as I glared at Luck.
"Hehe." He laughed sheepishly.
"Hi, Charmy. Are you stuffing yourself with food again?" I asked as I saw Charmy and a big plate of food.
"Yes. I'm eating again. Delicious! This is so delicious! You want a piece of this cake?" Charmy asked as she happily chow down her food.
"Thanks. I could never turn down delicious Matcha cake." I just couldn't turn down sweets. I guess I have a sweet tooth.
"Erin-Chan!"
"Vanessa-Chan!" I said as I saw her. "Are you OK? You look a little dizzy?"
"I just drank too much last night." She couldn't even look at me in the eye.
"Vanessa! Drinking too much isn't healthy! But anyway, I went to shopping last night, and I have some gifts for you…"
"Oh my god! Where did you get this push-up bra? And underwear! This is awesome!" Vanessa said loudly.
"I know right! I can't believe they were on sale, too. So, I decided that I'm going to buy you some, because we are sisters!" I said.
"Thank you! Best gift!" Vanessa said happily.
"Hey girls! Anyone happen to have anytime to date with me?" Here comes Finral.
"Sorry, Finral. You're handsome, but I'm not interested." I rejected him quickly.
"Oh, Erin-Chan. That was a quick rejection, a little too quick. Do you already have a boyfriend? Or do you like someone?" Vanessa asked.
"Umm, n…n…no." I said suspiciously.
Gosh. I thought of him again. Zora Ideale. The only boy I had ever loved. I seriously don't understand why I still like him. It's been almost ten years since I've last seen him. It's been so long. But, yet, I… I… I… still like him. I was so sad that he was just gone. Gone. After his father's funeral, I couldn't find him. He wouldn't talk to me, his facial expressions have become intimidating, and he… his life was wrecked by his father's death. Uncle Zara was a kind man. He had always take care of me and Zora. He makes everyone happy and he was a huge part of Zora's life. I wasn't sure when I started have feelings for Zora, though. Maybe it's that rainy day…
[Flashback]
"Zora! It's raining! Quick! Get under my umbrella!" I said to a lonely Zora stuck in the playground. Zora rushed over to my umbrella and got under it. We were sharing an umbrella together in a rainy day, like a couple, but we didn't think much since we were only 11.
"Erin-Chan! Will…Will you ever leave me?" Zora asked.
"What are you talking about?" I asked. I wasn't sure what he meant.
"I'm scared, Erin-Chan. Will you leave me? I only have dad ever since I was born. He's the only one I've got left if you leave. I don't know how to live on without you! What would life be? Would you be happy? Would you…" Zora was getting melancholy again. Thanks, Monday, for messing up Zora's mood.
"Zora. Stop being ridiculous. I'm not going to leave you, for now. After all, we are best friends right! Besties forever!" I said to him with a smile.
It turned out that my reply was ridiculous. I left Zora. I left him all alone. I don't know where is he and how is he now. I dumped him. Plus, I lied about the best friends forever part. I was wrong. I loved him and I still love him now. If I ever met him again, I'm not going to only be his best friend. I want to be something… more than that.
"Erin! Erin! Erin!" Finral shouted in front of my face.
"Woah!" I shouted as I was snapped back into reality.
"You're crying! Are you alright?" Vanessa asked with a concerning look.
"I'm alright. You shouldn't worry too much about me. I'm fine, really." I replied.
That was lie. I do not feel fine now. There's tears dripping down my face. I feel bad for leaving Zora alone. I should of helped him, but it's all too late…
"You sure you don't want to go to a date with me?" Finral asked again.
"I'll go to anywhere with you, Finral, just as a friend. I would never be interested in you, but I'm not exactly feeling great now. Maybe some fresh air would help." I rejected his date again, but I do want to go to somewhere. I feeling a little bored inside our headquarters.
"Aww. You rejected me again. But fine, let's go to the Royal Capital together, as friends." He said bitterly.
"Alright!" I replied with excitement. It's time to get some fresh air!
[Moments later…]
"I'll go to pick up some girls. You can go to the shops. We'll meet here an hour later, got it?" Finral is such a womanizer.
"Fine. Just don't harass them. I'll go grab some ice cream, see you later!" I said to Finral as I happily went off to walk to the ice cream shop.
Ice cream time! I love ice cream! Strawberry, Chocolate, Matcha, Blueberry, which flavor should I choose today? I mean chocolate is really sweet but matcha is awesome and…
"Look out, brat!"
A beam of fire was shot towards me. I was able to dodge it just in time, though. I saw a weird masked man and a group of magic knights fighting.
"Bastards like you aren't magic knights!" The masked man shouted. "You bastards have betrayed our country!"
"So what?" A magic knight from the group asked. "It won't matter anyway because today you'll die here. There isn't any magic knights here to save you now! HAHA!"
The masked man seemed badly injured and outnumbered. At this rate, he is soon going to go down. I could sense hostility from the group of magic knights. I needed to intervene.
"Hello, anyone calling for a magic knight? What are you trying to do to this man?" I asked.
"A magic knight from Black Bulls trying to stop me here? You must be joking. Go away, little girl, or else we'll kill you too." Another man from the group said. I was pissed. It's time to teach them.
"Red Thunder Creation Magic - Thunder Machine Gun!" Multiple little thunder bullets were shoot towards the magic knights. They were hurt by the bullets, but they survived.
"Fire Magic - Flame Attack!"
"Rock Magic - Rock Fist!"
"Snow Magic - Snowstorm!"
Multiple attacks were thrown towards me. But, I've gotten stronger. Experiences of training and missions had made me become a better magic user, and I can certainly take on these attacks.
"Black Water Magic - Sea Devil's Shield!"
The attacks got reflected by my shield and hit the ground. It's time for another strike.
"Thunder-Water Creation Magic - Lightning Water Sword!"
I summoned my thunder-water sword and started attacking the magic knights.
"I'm not going to go down here! Fire Creation Magic - Fire Blade!"
[Zora P.O.V] (Yes, the masked man is Zora, but our pure little Erin doesn't know yet.)
Shit, the girl is in trouble.
The problem with her combat skills is that her sword swings use far too little strength. Her swings are weak with no determination. She couldn't even attack, all she can do is defend her opponents' attacks with her sword, meaning that she will lose… She also relies far too much on her attacking speed and her wrist's flexibility. She's didn't even do any damage yet. Fuck. They are going to win!GODDAMMIT! Stand up Zora! Stand up before something bad happen! Quick, Zo…Wait… She just defeated… her opponent? With a power slash?
I thought she didn't have any attacking strength, but she suddenly slashed the opponent and the fire bastard went down…
What the hell? Is she not using her full strength before?
[Erin P.O.V]
"OH! She's defeated our leader! Run before it's too late!"
"Too little too late, guys! Red Thunder Magic - Thunder Devil's Flying Tridents!" I said as multiple red, thunderous tridents flew towards them and knock them out cold.
"HEHE. You didn't see me in the back!" A magic knight said as he sneak-attacked me.
"Black Water Creation Magic - Water Shuriken!"
The shurikens hit the man. He was injured. Time for the final blow.
"Black Water Creation Magic - Water Bow Triple Shot!"
Three power arrows come out of my water bow and hit him straight up. He was defeated. I won.
"Hey brat, so who are you?" The masked man suddenly asked.
"Umm… I'm not a brat… But, I'm Erin Lancaster, a magic knight of the Black Bulls. It's nice to meet you."
Sorry, there was bugs in this chapter, it's fixed, though.
