"The School Competition had start, the first two pair of students is currently fighting, the first pair is two Nobles, while the second is a pair of commoners. It seems that she will fight at the 5th match. I wonder how she can fare" Kaito said to himself. He is currently sitting alone on a dark corner of the Battle Hall. The students of the Academy is great at handling magic, but that does not apply to every students, commoners doesn't get paid much attention at practical classes, that is why, the pair of commoners are getting easily beat up. As Kaito was watching the students, he decided to take a glance at Kairi, which he found that she was looking for him.
"Looking for me, huh" Kaito said while his hands are moving in the air, as it was writing something. A small magic circle appeared and Kaito spoke to it,
"Do you need something?".
"What!, where!" Kairi was surprised, her voice startled Veronica.
"Lower your voice, you're the only one who can hear me" Kaito said as he was maintaining the magic circle.
"This voice, it's definitely his!" Kairi thought.
"Uhh, are you okay" Veronica asked.
"Ahh, I'm fine, it's just that I found a bug" Kairi laughed.
"I didn't know that you were afraid of bugs, Kairi!" Veronica said laughing.
Kairi talked with her for a while then ended the conversation, saying that she wants some time to concentrate.
"So, do you need something?" Kaito asked again.
"I was wondering what you would do once we're fighting" Kairi asked silently as she doesn't want Veronica to think she's talking to herself.
"I don't wish to stand out" Kaito said with an empty voice.
"This magic, is from the Dark Element?" Kairi asked.
"You are correct, this is a dark magic, so if you may excuse me, this consumes a lot of mana to maintain". Kaito replied while slowly decreasing the amount of mana he manipulates.
"S-Sure" Kairi replied hesitantly. She still has a lot of questions for Kaito, but it seems impossible until this event is finished. As Kaito's fight is coming nearer, he prepared himself.
"The fifth match is here!" Bernard shouted.
"The first pair, Kairi Shou and Kaito Ieshi, the second pair, Leo Gisma and Jake Azrec!" Bernard shouted as he guessed who will win. Kairi is the strongest student in this Academy, while Leo is 8th and Jake is 2nd. If they can combine their magic properly, they can win. They were given 10 minutes to prepare.
Jake went to Kairi."If you want, I can make Leo forfeit, so that it can be the two of us that will fight" Jake suggested.
"Thanks, but I can take you both on my own" Kairi said firmly. If she can't beat her enemies right now, she couldn't protect anyone. That is why she has to win.
"Very well then, how about we make a bet?" Jake said with a grin.
"If I win, you will agree with one of my favors" Jake said.
"If I win?" Kairi asked curiously of what Jake has to offer.
"Then I shall let you take a Secret Magic at our family's library" Jake said proudly.
Kairi was surprised. Secret Magic is rare and is very important, it is also true that with the Azrec's Might and Influence it can get it's hand on some Secret Magic. Kairi then recalled Kaito's Dark Element. If they can use it to their advantage, they can win. The Secret Art that Jake proposed is also important for Kairi as it can help her obtain the strength she needs.
"Let me think about it for a while" Kairi said as she turned around.
"I shall wait for your answer" Jake said with a grin, then left Kairi alone. Kairi then went to Kaito.
"I need your help to win this match" Kairi said while bowing her head down Kaito. This took a lot of courage as Kairi was a Noble.
"As I have told you before, no matter what you do, I do not wish to stand out" Kaito said then left to the waiting room. The match will start soon, Kaito chanted something, then a magic circle surrounded his body. It lasted only after a few seconds after vanishing. Kaito then waited for his match.
