Chapter 3 - One Can't Describe the Joy of Being Close to Someone

Student: I look forward to our fight Ms. Nakayama.

Ryker: Huh?

Yurie: Just call me Yurie, I don't mind it. I look forward to it as well and I wish you good luck.

Student: Same to you.

Ryker: You got this Yurie. Show em what you've got.

Yurie: Thanks.

Student: Whispers* Listen to me Ryker.

Ryker: What?

Student: It would be in your best interest to leave her alone if you want her to ever be happy. Nobody likes you and never will. The more she is exposed to filth like you, the more she will be hated as well.

Ryker: Nobody asked. If a lowly rat like me according to you is enough to tarnish her reputation then she was never that amazing to begin with which couldn't be further from the truth. Trust me, she's too awesome to be "tarnished" by a nobody like me.

Student: Huh, not only are you overly cocky but you're greedy and inconsiderate.

Ryker: Ditto idiot. Now get out there and get stomped already, it smells like hypocrite in here.

Student: She may be pretty but that won't help her in combat.

Ryker: Heh, that depends. Also, She isn't just some kid man. She's a lot more talented than you think.

Teacher: Positions!

Student: Good luck Yurie.

Yurie: Same to you, let's get this going.

Teacher: Begin!

Yurie: Don't talk to him like that ever again.

Student: Wha-

Wam! Yurie dashes towards him and lands a heavy gut punch on him making him fall to his knees.

Ryker: How did she hear that? And wow she's strong!

Student: How did you-

Yurie: I'm not just a pretty girl, I'm a very capable fighter and I'd like it if you didn't talk like that to people. Please forfeit, I really don't want to hurt you anymore. It took me a lot of effort to take this class at all.

Student: B-but he's a Monster. How can you trust someone like him.

Yurie: One can't describe why they enjoy someone's company enough to capture it. I won't bother telling you because you wouldn't care anyway. Now please forfeit.

Student: You're dumber than I thought. I Forfeit sir.

Teacher: Very well. Yurie Nakayama wins!

The rest of the class took up their matches until the final 10 out of 60 students had been selected. After the matches had ended, Yurie and Ryker headed off to meet up with Hera who was practicing Witch level magic in the ThunderDome. Students go there to take tests to advance to the next level of magic. Unfortunately, Ranland University for magic only teaches up to Advanced level magic so Hera is pretty much the strongest person at the school and can only use half of her main element.

Ryker: You think she's learning a new spell or just shooting stuff for fun.

Yurie: I'd say she's doing the first one.

Ryker: Well I'll go with the first one, she messes around a lot so I don't think she'd actually be-
