"I have a request..." Ilora says to me. "A request?" I question. "Well..." She looks away. "Forget about it, I don't think so you will be able to help me with it." What's with this girl? She wants to ask me something and now she's acting like that. Jeez...I sigh. Oh I should speak about this when I have the chance. "Listen Ilora." I say to her putting both my hands on her shoulder. Her face turns red. Is she embarrassed by something? Whatever the case I must speak about her training. "Do you wish to defeat Flora Fiona?" I ask her. "Defeat her...." Ilora doesn't respond for a while. She looks out of the window. "What's with all of this defeat her non sense?" She asks me. "I train to be strong so that I could surpass my opponent, you think you can help me with better training than I am having?" She's being rude. Guess her old character is coming back. I don't speak for a while. "I do." I say after few seconds pass. I don't think saying anything else will good. I must leave her be...For a while at least. I begin to leave. "Tomorrow morning, I will meet you behind the school grounds, that's where the water flow is." I say. If you wish to become strong, you will definitely come tomorrow Ilora Kaori!
I move out of the medical room. Cyan and Mr. Daniel aren't here anymore. Guess I spent too much time talking with Ilora. I decide to go back to my training but...The place where I am training...All of squad Rizing have gathered. "We heard you are going to train us!" That's Sophie Barter, she wears glasses and has long red hair. She is quite an intelligent person as she got in the top 10 charts at the result boards. Anyway's that was real quick for them to know about training. I guess...It was his doing (Imagining Caster)
"So, what are we going to train today at cool guy?" Jacob asks. I sigh. "First, I need you to give me your names and magic and then I will make a group for each of you guys based on compatibility." I say. "What?" Everyone looks confused. "As of right now, I can only see 15 people here. I already know that Erica isn't here but I would also like to know the names of the other two who aren't here and their magic if we have to pass. Remember, this is no more an individuals tournament, it's going to be a teams effort. So, first thing I want to do is, make groups based on compatibility and then once each group is compatible with each other then make those groups exchange people. If you understand what I mean. This way, I want everyone to partner up with everyone and I will say this again. Don't be a glory-hound. Be someone who will contribute. Because sacrificing your pride for your teammate is the most important thing a knight must always remember." I have given them the instructions. Hopefully they begin doing their stuff. "Alright, let's get under way everyone." Jacob says and everyone nods without questioning me. No one actually questioned me...That's strange...Everyone leaves the ground.
Meanwhile, I will start cultivating my mana again. Hmm? That's Sophie right? She's walking towards me. She's kind of nervous. "Henry..." She's is shaking. "Calm down, what is it you need?" I ask. "I need to tell you about this..." She says. "I actually...Have no magical element to contribute like others..." She continues. She's begin to shake even more after saying that. I sigh. "It's alright." I say. "What?" She looks confused. "Tomorrow, you will not be training in a group but rather, you will be training with me. You get that?" I ask. "What are you saying...?" She asks. "I am saying, if your not strong and are without a magical element, then you just have to be physically strong so that you can use magical equipment." I say. Her eyes tear up. Did I say something wrong? "Ah....Are you alright?" I ask. She nods with tears. "Then why are you crying?" I ask. "That's because...They are tears of joy..." She says. "Tears of joy...?" This girl is going to be tough to handle.
15 minutes later,
She finally calmed down. "You see...I always wanted to be a knight but being from a noble family and not having any kind of magical element...I was considered weak and exiled from the family." The noble family sure are cruel. "I was starving and dying...That's when I met Casey." She says. "Casey? You mean Casey from our class?" I ask. She nods with a smile. "She taught me tricks to survive. She taught me to pickpocket, steal things from others and even the rule of kill to survive." She says. Her eyes turn cold. "Let me guess..." Sophie looks at me all confused. "You and Casey got bind into some kind of huge event and then you both were sent to the prison. Am I right?" I ask. "You got everything almost right except for the last part." She says. "Put it, instead of going to prison, we were taken in by Caster Daniel, our teacher. He gave us home in exchange of leaving the life of crime." She continues. "I see..." So Caster gathered them huh? Bunch of criminals, delinquents and failures. "You are quite a kind person and you are definitely no failure. It's quite a surprise when you came out here and were in the same class as us. Not to mention, you did so much for us...We can't let you down now." Sophie smiles. I smile. "I haven't done enough yet though, I have one last job to do before I can have my way to the top of the knight table." I say with a smirk. She chuckles. "I guess...We meet tomorrow, same place?" Sophie asks. I think. "Come behind the school, that's where you, Ilora and Cyan will train together." I say. "Cyan? I understand Ilora but why Cyan?" Sophie asks. "Well, she's a friend in need of my help. So, I need to help her." I say. "I see...You have quite a friendly aura. Guess explains why no one hates you so far." Sophie says as she gets up. "See you tomorrow." She says as she leaves. I sigh.
Guess that's my queue to train until morning. Tomorrow...It's going to be quite a hectic day. I sigh again. Someone better help me with this shit.
