2 Ch.2 Battlefield (1/2)
The sun rays are getting rising, nature looks calm and here is the part that I particularly dislike about. The day has been in the morning. Like usual Luc-chan will wake me up. I didn't know how did I end up nakedly in the bed and rest peacefully yesterday.
”Good morning little Lylia, you better wake up or you won't have breakfast this morning.”
”Ehh? It's morning already?” I couldn't speak louder in the morning because I am still sleepy.
” Anyways, Lylia I have stripped away from your wet and smelly shirt just now. Go take a bath or you'll smell like the bluefish.”
”HUH!!!!!!! How the heck did you just do to me while I was sleeping!!!!!” I was so mad at him!
”And errrmm, as a result of our practicing yesterday, your chest is growing up for time being. So please keep train to the fullest of your heart” He just said it out without even feels a bit of embarrassment.
”PERVERTIII!!!!!GET OUT OF MY ROOM YOU BASTARD!!!! I shout angrily! This is barely early in the morning. Oh Gosshh.
Then Luc-chan go out without hesitancy like he doesn't care about my feeling as he assumes that is a normal thing. This is why you're always being alone. Demon are terrified things urgggghhh. And I go to the shower room. Cleaning myself then does some makeup before breakfast. Luc-chan already wait at the table for breakfast. With my mad mood I dare go to the table and eat. However, Luc-chan's food never disappoints me and I always forgive him for what he does. I don't know if he uses any spell on his food or is this the only thing that Luc-chan good at? Well eating and finished the foods made by Luc-chan himself are the first priority as a female hero hahaha. While I was chewing the food happily, Luc-chan said something.
” On your exam today, please be careful and come back safely.” He just said it out nowhere.
Those words came from Luc-chan mouth. This is the first time I ever heard such a caring word from him in my life. I feel like I wanted to cry out of joyfulness. Those words are really entered into my mind and heart. He said it like he wished me good luck. Without showing my joyful tears, I continue expressing him a great smile while eating his flavorful food. Thank you very much Luc-chan. I will do my best. After the dramatic scenes over, I carried out my bag and put on my shoes. Luc-chan is opening the door for me.
” I'm going to school now Luc-chan!!! See you when I got home from school. Make sure you cook a special menu today because I'm going to win this match.” I said it's sincere since the heart and smile happily.
Luc-chan smiled at me. I never really remembered how he smiled before but today was a special day that I won't forget how he smiled. My heart beating faster and I think this feeling is something else. I was happy and nervous.
” I'll wait for you here. And one more thing Lylia.”
” What is it?” I ask him
” The mana.....you can use the mana starting today.” He replied.
” For real? Alright I'll use it when the time has come.”
He told me I can use the mana that I was given. It's been a long time I never used it.
Actually, I have a weak body which can't produce mana in a short time. Furthermore, I'll die without mana. Because my body is too weak when I was a kid. So Luc-chan passed his mana into my body, so I can live. And believe it or not, he never gave me permission to use his mana in a battle because it was uncontrollable, I know about this because I once used it and ended up almost killing someone by using it.
From that horrible experience, he never gave me permission to use it up until now. But I want to use my real mana that I produce this long time. I'll only use his mana when it was urgent. I don't want to make any trouble that will be a burden for Luc-chan. He had already taken a huge responsibility to raise me.
I started my trip to the school like usual passing through the jungle. Luc-chan probably cleaning the house or watering the flowers at the back of the garden every day. Like he had a place to go anyway hehehe. Just 5 more meters in front is my school, it's very big and looks stylish. It is well known, a school with 6 blocks and 5 floors. There is also a basement of the fireplace that is only allowed to store sports equipment or other items. As soon as I arrived at school, I immediately walk into the examination room where all of my classmates are told to gather there. It's like a big stadium.
Just below us, there is a tournament arena that will we use to have a battle. But, now I was looking for my pal Raph-chan but for godsakes, I accidentally confront this troublesome hater in front of the physical test registration desk area. It was Seren Knightwalker, a royal knight daughter and her gangs. They are paladin types. They quite have a guts here you know. Their ranks are higher than mine. I could say that it was hard for me to battle with her. Anyway I'd rather not make any worthless duel.
” Oh my Oh my, looked what do we have here? A weakling? wimpy? coward? or a demon's daughter? Wuahhahaahahh whuaahahah hahaha.” She laughed maniacally with her gang.
” You think I'll get into your trap if you're doing that you maniac badass queen?” I act like how Luc-chan does to me every day. And it seems like it works to trigger the maniac queen. I mean Seren.
” What did you just say you demon? How dare you talk back to me!” She is furious about what I said earlier. I think she is a short-tempered person too I could say that.
”Oh my oh my, didn't expect maniac badass queen had a hearing problem recently until she asked me to repeat what I said just now hihihiihi.” I said this to play with her emotion.
She can never beat Luc-chan's worst attitude over me if she can't even handle this huhu. So, I'm toying with her because she really pissed me off. If you want to insult me, I'm okay but don't you dare to insult Luc-chan. You never know who he is. The short-tempered Seren almost use her power to hit me, but she was stopped by her friends around her. And Raph-chan comes out from nowhere.
”Not again Lia, you should change your bad behavior. Or you'll never be a favorable warrior.”Raph-chan said.
” Don't worry, I was just kidding with her anyways.” I tried to consume her.
” I can't believe it if it was from your mouth.”
” Anyways, where did you come from? I didn't see you anywhere just now” I change the topic.
” I was registering my attendance at the registration center just now. You haven't registered yet Lia ?” said the joyful Raph-chan.
”No I haven't. But I'm going now.” I'm about to register for my attendance at the registration center.
” Lia, what type of role will you register this year?” Raph-chan asked me out of wonder.
”I haven't thought about it yet. I always register to be a fighter since I am always carrying my sword. But this year, I think I didn't want to be a fighter role anymore. I want something more than that.” I answered Raph-chan instead.
” Seems like a surprise! What could it be Lia?” Raph wanted to know more.
” I want to register as a....PALADIN!”
Everyone who listen to what I was saying just now stared at me with silence. And that's a moment of silence. Even Seren gazed at me with a shocked surprise look, they then laugh harder. The room sounded like a silly stuff happen here. I seriously look at them. Seren talk to me.
” A demon could never be a hero, what else becomes a paladin? Huh? Hahahahahha stop making fun of paladin role. You're not even suit with it. Don't be a burden you bastard.”
” Are there any wrong with it if I choose to be a paladin? Is there any impact on you if I choose to be a paladin?” I said it with a serious look in my eyes.
They silence again and started to ignore me and do something else. I then registered my attendance. There was 15 minutes before the exam started, so teacher Mica(the teacher who'll be monitoring us, an adult female teacher in her 33 years old, brown ponytail hair, wore a glass and red lips) and gathered us all in a corner to briefing us. So we were divided into a group of three. And each group will represent their strength in the battle. The battle will only end if the opponent surrender or three of the members cannot stand anymore. Here's the bad news. We're already being chosen to group according to the name list. We can't team up with anybody freely anymore. This decision has been made by the principal. It seems like the principal had planned this from start.
” Raph-chan I think we can't team up anymore.”
”I never imagine that I would have to separate with you. This is so bad”
” Well that's a shame that the team has been decided. So, we should follow and do our best for the exam.”
” YES!” Raph-chan said it with high spirit.
According to the list, I was team up with ....
”WHAT THE HELL!!!!”
I was teaming up with the weakest? A supporter and a mage? Oh no, this is bad, I'll lose the battle. I'm dissatisfied with this. Furthermore, our group will have a match with the bastard maniac queen, and the top five assassins in Goryu rank,it's Yujima Hanzo and my bestie...Raph-chan. Dammmnnnnn !!!! How could this happen? It's unfair. The gap between our level was too far. I looked at Raph-chan and she showed a gloomy face. I didn't expect I will have a match with them with these two person I didn't even know their names or what are they looked like.
” You must be Astaria Lylia a Paladin role right? Nice to meet you I am Layla William a supporter, and I am an elf.” A soft sound person greets me and raise her hand to shake hand with me. I was startled and amazed but I shake her hand instead. Her aura of gentleness is glowing up like an angel from heaven. A sharp ear with a pretty face, she is an elf.
” Yes I am. Nice to meet you too Layla-san right?”
” Ahh, just call me Layla since I see you as my friend”
” Ffffffriend? For real? Doesn't people dislike for who I am”
”Yes we are now officially a friend from now on Lylia. I don't really think you as a demon. Your appearance is just like the rest human, it's normal.”
” Thanks Layla I appreciate it. Anyways it's rare to see an elf's role as a supporter, doesn't they always choose to be a marksmen type?” I started a conversation.
”Well, actually I am skilled in not just healing the wound, but I am also mastered to increase my partner's physical movement and raising up their mana. So rather than being a marksman, I instead choose to be a supporter.” She said it proudly.
” That's a good idea, hope we will have a good combinations out there”
” yes”
Someone's behind me and try to reach me but I realize it soon and turning my back. In front of me must be the wizard. He looked like a cute girl but actually he is a little guy. He was shorter than me, yellow hair, wearing a blue hoodie, cute blue eyes, a cute outfit, and he sounded like totally a girl's voice. He really is a shy person. And I ask...
” You must be the wizard?” I ask gently.
” Y.. Yes” He nodded while answering.
” Don't be shy, my name is Astaria Lylia. You can call me Lylia Or Lia-chan because now we're friend” I talk to him, so he could over calm his shyness.
” My name is ...Benedict..Reus. I'm looking forward to your teamwork in the battle.”
”Yeah, Looking forward to this too Reus-kun!.”
We all laughed happily and get to know each other before the exam started. I think I should not underestimate their ability from their look. We got closed in just a few moments but feels like we have known each other for a long time. I am glad that I teamed up with these kind people. Even though everyone disliked me by my identity, but they're different. Plus, I still worried about them. Then the exam just started and all of my classmates yell for the first group that will be the first one to perform the battle.
Everyone's busy watching the battle while I'm busy making a strategy with my fellows. We gathered and give and suggest any idea to counter our opponent. As we discuss and think of it, my throat is getting thirst and I excuse myself to get some water. While I grab a bottle and filled the water into my bottle. Suddenly something hit in my mind. I quickly tell my group and planned a strategy. Even though this is to risk. We have to do so or do nothing. This might be hard for them to follow up on my strategy.
When the time comes, our group are being called to get prepared on the battlefield. While on our way to the battlefield we met up with the maniac queen. She laughed like she has won this match. But we ignore them and focus on what we had. Raph-chan, I didn't expect we'll be battling each other this year. It is a vast field with many trees around us. The ground is flat and the wind is not strong, we are now on the battlefield. The audience(only my classmate and some teachers or maybe some of our senior who's wondering around) began to make loud cheers. There were also some of them who insulted my group, but I ignored it because Luc-chan did not allow me to react to people who had not taken any action.
So, our status displayed on top of us before we begin to battle and teacher Mica is giving us a minute to do the last preparation before battling. Reus-kun readily stand his pose like a female mage, his cute, but I was nervous that he was actually too (nervous) than me. While beside my right side, Layla looked relaxed while observing our opponent. I tell them over and over to stick together with the planned we've discussed earlier.
”Listen Layla and Reus-kun!!! No matter what happens....always stick to the plan.!”
”YES!!!” Both of them replied bravely.
”Don't get nervous, the real battle is just about to begin.”
Half a minute left, I told Layla and Reus-kun to check the opponent's status and do not afraid of their status. I just told them to inspect their status, so they know something about the opponent even though their level is higher than us. The biggest obstacle we had to face was their assassin, Yujima Hanzo. He held a title as a 'Silent Rage Killer' by his fighting skill was as silent as the sky. His skill could knock down someone in a close range and I really have to protect these two of my friends since they are long-range types.
