"If you lose, then be mine." Mozart stated his term. Erza was dumbfounded for a few seconds.
"Just kidding." Mozart chuckled.
"Fine."
"What?" It was Mozart turn to be dumbfounded.
"I will be yours if I lose. However, if you lose, I want you to forever be my friend. Help me to achieve my dream." Erza said seriously.
Mozart deeply looked at Erza in the eyes as he was considering about her condition. He was fully aware of the consequences if he lost. After all, Mozart had his own means to get information.
He knew that she was a half demon, and he knew about her ambition. In fact, he guessed that was the main reason she dated Qi Long. His background and clan support were not something that Mozart could also offer her.
Therefore, he was half joking when he said his term. Unexpectedly, Erza accepted it. Was he still a man if he let go of this opportunity?
"You know that if you lose, then you would ruin all of your schemes so far?"
"Yes, if I lose, then bring me out from this place in the future."
Mozart was surprised with her calmness. This bet had very serious consequences for her if she lost. She would have to start a new life somewhere else in the future, leaving her friends and those people she loved here.
"You know, I won't go easy on you."
"Yes, I will be disappointed if you are getting soft on me. I want the real Mozart as my friend."
"Fine."
Elder Black and the other students were confused looking at Erza and Mozart who kept staring at each other. They knew that they were talking via voice transmission, however they did not know what they were talking about to cause the atmosphere around them to slowly turn heavier.
Soon, the pressures coming from the two youths were too much for the other students to withstand. Elder Black had to interfere by setting up a barrier to isolate the two youths. Luckily there were in a special room for practice, so space was not an issue.
Around her, more and more black lightnings started to appear, whereas Mozart was surrounded by red flames. They were all accompanied by thick baleful aura.
Dark matters were floating around Erza. They were more like the mini version of 'Dark Sphere' and they kept circling around her shoulders.
In front of her, Mozart also had dark matters behind him. They were in the shape of small daggers and the amount kept increasing by the seconds.
Both fighters dashed at the same time and they were both going for a punch.
*kaboom!*
Their fists met and the floor under them was destroyed by the after-impact. Red flame and black lightning spread to their surrounding and the barrier trembled violently. Both fighters were pushed few metres backward before they could stabilize themselves.
Next, Mozart sent his dark daggers to Erza. She responded by sending her mini dark spheres. More explosions occurred as the dark matters crashed into each other.
Erza pointed her finger at Mozart and soon a dark energy beam shot toward her opponent. Mozart then shot similar dark energy beam from his eyes to meet her attack. Another explosion occurred.
Mozart then used the dark particles around him to create more daggers and shot them to Erza.
She dashed forward and avoided most of his attacks but some managed to leave scars on her body.
'Dark Gravity!'
Once she was close enough to him, Erza then casted a middle rank dark magic called 'Dark Gravity'. The dark particles above Mozart then pushed downward creating a heavy pressure on his body. Mozart knees touched the broken floor as he was struggling to free himself. The ground was destroyed even further.
'Judgement Fall!'
After some struggling, Mozart finally managed to finish his casting. Soon, small meteors made from dark particles coming down to Erza.
Erza was finding it hard to avoid the meteors and was eventually hit. She crashed to the ground, leaving a big hole.
The other students had long stopped fighting amongst themselves and watched Erza and Mozart fight. Elder Black was forced to reinforce the barrier a couple times to ensure that there would not be any accident.
Erza and Mozart kept exchanging attack after attack for the next 30 minutes. Their battle suits were long destroyed, leaving Mozart leaned upper body exposed.
"Cover yourself a bit." Mozart was speechless looking at Erza. She looked very calm despite her current appearance.
Realizing that part of her chest was showing up, Erza decided to take out a small jacket from her storage ring and covered herself.
"What are you two thinking? This room was not designed to hold a serious fight. It was called PRACTICE room for a reason." An academy staff suddenly barged in as the control room was notified for the damages.
In the end, Elder Black had to cover for Erza and Mozart, so that they did not get punished by the academy.
Walking back from the disciplinary office, Erza and Mozart kept arguing amongst themselves about who was the winner. They eventually decided to postpone their match until the year end assessment. They would continue their fight at the competition.
As usual, Erza had dinner with her friends before returned to her room. They usually spent their Saturday night talking in Lisa and Linda room, but today Elsa said that she had something to do and needed to go back earlier. In the end, Erza, Lisa, and Linda decided not to meet up and returned to their own rooms.
Arriving at the garden nearby the cafeteria, Elsa was nervously looking around for Mozart. However, she could not find anyone in the garden.
'What was he thinking? Why did he invite me this late at night?' Elsa imagination run wild as she continued searching for him.
"You really come." Mozart voice suddenly came from behind her. She was shocked by his sudden appearance. Elsa truly did not see his coming.
"What do you want to talk about?" Elsa was trying her best to be calm.
"What do you think about a half demon? Do you despise them? Or are you indifference toward them?" Mozart asked her after setting up an isolated barrier around them.
Elsa face turned serious. There was no more smile on her face.
"What are you getting at?"
"Please just answer my questions." Mozart stated while looking at Elsa in the eyes.
"You know that my mother is the best friend of the Empress?"
"Yes."
"Then do you also know that the Empress collaborated with a Demon Emperor to kill the Demon Ancestor which eventually ended the Second Realms War?"
"Yes." There was no lies in Mozart eyes.
Elsa face turned even more serious after hearing his answer. Not everyone was aware of that fact. Most people just knew that the Empress killed the Demon Ancestor, but they did not know that she collaborated with a Demon Emperor to achieve that feat.
"Are you a half demon?"
