16 Ch. 13 Promise (2/2)

”Did the academy know that I fainted?”

”Nope, we took you and escape behind the cafeteria to brought you here.”

”That's a relief. If they know about this, I might be disqualified from the tournament.”

”Oh my oh my, you should also thank us, that we told Rumia-senpai not to tell anyone about what has happened to you earlier.”

”Ehh? Whoa that's a good job. Reus-kun and the others?”

”Reus and Mario-senpai drag the attention of the sellers at the cafeteria while president Mila gives the permission for us to escape. Hahaha” said Seren.

”I should thank President Mila too.”

”Maou-san, how was Lia's condition?” Raph-chan asked Luc-chan about my condition.

Luc-chan is now sitting on a chair near to my bed while that damn Seren is clinging lovely to my Luc-chan.

”Ahh, Lylia you have used a lot of your mana on your battle. I heard that from Seren's story. I've told you don't use your own mana, or else you might die out there. Luckily, your brilliant friends quickly brought you here.” Said the mad Luc-chan.

”I'm sorry...”I replied as I admit it was my fault.

”Moreover, I have sealed you from using mana again.”

”Eh? Sealed?” I asked.

Luc-chan gets up from the chair he sits and moves closer to me. He then grabs my hand that I use to cover my body.

”Eh!!?” I was red again.

”Look at here. I've put the spell that seals your mana.”

I quickly take a look at my chest. It was real. A tiny size black magic spell is now on my chest as it glowing.

”This…”

”I have stabilized and added back your lost mana. From now on, I'll not allow you to use your mana again. If you want to use magic too, you'll have to use my mana.”

”Eh!? So, I can't use my mana uwu.

”Yup. But looking at your condition…I don't think you could continue your match again.”

”What!!? No way!”

”Maou-sama, don't worry. Our match for the next round has been decided to be held two weeks after the second round. This is how it works every year. So, I think she'll have enough rest at that time.” Said Seren.”

”Is that so?”Luc-chan doubted.

”Yes, that's true maou-sama. That's how the Rank Event Tournament works. For our next round, they.. I mean the Ten Kamiryu will have to analyze and decide our opponent. They'll not pick some random opponent for the participant, that is all the winner in today's round will be having their match two weeks from today.”

”Hmm, well that's great. Damn Lylia, you never tell me this.”said Luc-chan to me.

”You're the one who never wanted to hear me at first when I want to tell you about this. You always prohibited me from having a worthless match.” Luc-chan and I are glaring madly to each other.

Raph-chan tried to calm both of us but Seren suddenly change the topic

.

”Anyways Lylia, you stats…this year you have duel for seven times including today's match. And you win all the seven match without losing and rematch right?”

”Yup. Why?”

”Huahahah. So will you lose in the semi final again like last year? I always checked on your status every year you know huahahaha, you'll always record 1 lose match every year.

”Tch. I'm going to change that this year. I'll reach the new record where I never lose to anyone.”

”Hahaha, let's hope that will come true.” Laughed the maniac queen as she is doubting me.

”But, isn't that is great? Lia always loses to 1 match every year, not like us. We've been lose several times in one year” said Seren.

”Huh, my match is even valuable you know…”Seren said and comparing her match to us.

Luc-chan left us and went to the kitchen. He probably prepared us some snacks since Raph-chan and Seren was here. The three of us are having a nice conversation. We were being called by Luc-chan for lunch. Right after having our lunch, Raph-chan and Seren then excuse themselves to go back home. Luc-chan apologizes and thanks to both of them for bringing me, my weapon and my heavy beg to here. He gave them a box of recovery potions and some food in reward. And they went home happily.

Luc-chan then comes closer to me and he told me to sit on the floor. Wow, that was a surprise for me. But I do as he orders me to do it. Luc-chan also sits on the floor but he is behind me. I was wearing my usual white shirt and short pinky pants, sit on the smooth floor in the living room. Luc-chan is in his usual black shirt and his hair tied up. He suddenly touched my back.

”What is it Luc-chan!”

”Shut up. I'm going to do some check-up for you.

I was red again. I can't see behind me as Luc-chan is still touching my back. He holds his hand press on my back. White shiny light is glowing out from there. I want to ask what was this about but, I better didn't ask him. So, I close my eyes and try to move on from this embarrassing feelings. Huh.

In about five minutes later, Luc-chan finally opens his mouth and we're now in a conversation while Luc-chan still holds his hand on my back. What is this atmosphere? It seems like we're having a smooth calm and serious talk. The living room was quiet in the evening and it is not that hot. Only the sound of our breaths could be heard.

”You used a lot of mana today…”Luc-chan tells me.

”hmm, I know that…”I replied.

”…you might die back then if they don't bring you here you know that…”

I didn't answer Luc-chan yet I feel sad from the bottom of my heart that I have made him worried. Out of all the things that happen to me, Luc-chan really worried about me if I use too much of mana.

”I've told you hundred times… you're different from the others… your body can't produce mana once you use it too much…” Luc-chan seems mad at me.

”But…” I respond.

”You should use the Qi. That's the only thing your body capable of now.”

”But, my opponent was so strong…”

”Then why didn't you just surrender? You should think for yourself first.”

I was shed in tears and didn't answer Luc-chan. Luc-chan stupid! How could I surrender for the worth battle!

”Moreover…I don't want to see you die again like your mother! I already promise that I'll find the cure for your illness. ”I still didn't answer him and hold my tears.

”Plus, you should have used your Qi to the fullest. I'm sure you will be able to strike down an enemy in just a second...” when Luc-chan was about to continue his word I interrupt him.

”You also the same like the others…sob…sob… what the heck with beating someone?! Strong? Power? All of you are damn living… I...don't want to be a hero that known for my power!!! The hero I want to be for everyone…. is a hero that could fulfill the promise…in other words, I want to protect everyone in danger…”

”You..”Luc-chan wanted to say something yet I continued my words.

”Plus, I haven't got to the semi-final. So, please wait for me, I definitely will keep that promise!” I have already shed the tears without realizing that my shirts have wet by my tears.

At the moment, I feel frustrated and cried out, suddenly I was being pulled to his chest. Luc-chan hugged my tiny head. And he said something.

”I'm sorry Lylia. I'm not really mad at you… I 'm just worried about you. Please…don't die yet…”Luc-chan said it in emotional expression.

So, Luc-chan was worried that I could die at any time. Suddenly, I recalled back all the things we've done together. Ahh, from the bottom of Luc-chan's heart, he still regrets the incident that happened to my mother and my grandmother. He sure had the heart of a human doesn't he? Suddenly, there's something wet fall to my hair. Luc-chan…was crying too? He hugged me tightly as he wrapped his hand all over my body to his chest. I was also crying and grabbed his hand.

”Please don't leave me again this time…I'll be lonely again…”Luc-chan was saying this from his sincerity of heart.

”Hmmm! I promised I won't do that again!”

That moment, both of us cuddled each other. I could feel Luc-chan's heart beating. I just hope this moment lasts a little longer. The living room was quiet and calm, only the sounds of insect and the birds at the outside, the sun is getting set and here we are, a pair of untold lovers in the house. I'll keep this as my memories. But suddenly, it was ruined…

”(*Cough)er erm… It looks like I need to buy a new size of your bra. Your chest is getting bigger Lylia.” That Luc-chan already changes the mood that fast as he loosens his hand on me!

”Oi! That was too quick. Moreover, you really touch my breast back then don't you?! DAMN PERVERT LUC-CHAN!!!.” I was mad out of sudden.

Luc-chan really could handle the mood. Damn it. The living room is now getting merrier by our fight. That was so quick. He just changes the mood, does he had any feelings towards what is happening just now? I turn around and start mumbling and nagging on him. But he shows me his usual gloomy face as he ignores me. I won't forgive him for that thing!!!

”Anyway Lylia, I have checked your body. You've recovered fully. No damage or any pain.” Luc-chan reported that to me.

”Hmm, like hell I'll thank you.”I was sulking to him.

”Like hell do I need your 'thank you' too.”

”(*angry)” I was mad.

”One more thing Lylia…tonight I'll teach you how to draw out Yang energy after dinner.”Luc-chan said as he gets up.

”Ehh? Yang energy? but I just recover from…”I was about to finish my word but he interrupts me.

”No excuses. Your body has been recovered fully I said didn't I? So, there's no excuses. Moreover, you had met with a strong opponent in the match. How much did you use your Qi today?”Luc-chan asked me while he is standing and I am still on sit on the floor.

”In about forty-five percent. Why?” I asked him out of wonder.

”Hmm. That is what you think you have used. Actually, you have use seventy-five percent of your Qi.”

”WHAT!!!” I was shocked. I didn't realize I had used that much.

”Yup. There's no time anymore. That's why I'm going to teach you Yang energy as soon as possible. I don't know if you accidentally might meet someone who's more powerful than the opponent you fight today.”

”What the hell? I didn't know I had used that much. Rumia-senpai…she's so strong. Especially, when she transforms to Force Mode form. Plus, I was fighting her servant too.”

”Force Mode huh. I see, you've already fight someone like that. No wonder you use a lot of mana and Qi. I could see your hand earlier, it had worst swollen. At least you could survive from that.”Luc-chan said with his gloomy face.

”Well, like I have another choice. Bring it on Luc-chan.” I was talking about the training but suddenly, my stomach makes a hungry sound.

”Hmm, I see you in a high spirit. But, at least we should have dinner first.”

”Err, I think you're right. Well. I'll help you cooking today Luc-chan.”

That evening, I was having fun with Luc-chan in the kitchen. He scolded me a lot. I don't know how to cook and most of the spices that Luc-chan told me to get from the rack are wrong. Heih, this is all was his fault. He never taught me how to cook since he was the one who always in the kitchen. Well, you can imagine how fun I am in the kitchen with Luc-chan. Never thought that it was this fun when there is Luc-chan. He scolded me and taught me over and over about kitchen things. Plus, he mad at me every time I eat the grapes that should be the main recipes to do juices. More or less, at least I spend the time being with Luc-chan here until the dinner. Both of us finally made some delicious food.

”(*Smell)… hmmm yummy. That fried honey chicken and the carrots look delicious Luc-chan.” I said as we're already on the table.

”Tch, if you weren't there, I should be prepared more delicious food earlier than this.” Said Luc-chan as he mad at me.

”Tehee…I go first! Yum yum yum.” I eat the food that both of us have made.

”Ahh, Lylia!” Luc-chan called out my name.

”Yes?”I replied.

”This… I give my hair bend to you since your hairpin and the binder was broken.”Luc-chan gave me his red hair binder.

”Huh aww. Thank you very much. I'll treasure this.” I said this while I tied my hair.

After we finished our dinner, Luc-chan is going to wash the plate and throw away the leftover food while I take out the wooden sword from our store. Then I bring it to the yard behind the house. This is our usual place every night I train. Not long after that, Luc-chan already here. He brings something with him.

”What is that Luc-chan?”I asked him.

”Oh this? This is something you'll wear from now on. I just created this thing. Well, I haven't given it a name yet. I'm going to call this, 'WEIGHT GRAVITY BRACELET'!!!”He said it with a proud voice.

”...…..lame…what the heck with that thing?”I asked.

”Hahahaha, you're going to wear this on your both hands and both of your feet.” He came closer as then he put it on my hand.

Bukkk! The sound of falling to the ground. These bracelets are not a regular bracelet. Damn it, this was something people use to train their bodies. Right after Luc-chan put it on both of my hands, my hands can't hold the great weight of the bracelets.

”OIII!!! What the hell with this heaviness! My back auch,… ” I try to get up as I pulled my hand strongly.

It was really heavy. I barely could stand but… I was forced to use my strength into this. Luc-chan then, put it on both on my legs. Now, my body feels the pressure. I can't move slightly as usual because this sh*t bracelet is limiting my movement speed.

”You'll wear this thing until the day of your match. So, you could practice your strength every day. Believe it or not, you'll get faster than ever, you can even blink as flash. So that, you don't have to rely on your teleport skill anymore.” Luc-chan explained proudly.

”But… this thing…is…heavy you…know. How can this thing train my Yang energy?”I'm asking Luc-chan while I'm dealing with this heavy sh*tty bracelets.

”Well for that… I'll make you hmmmm…?” Luc-chan still thinking. Isn't he supposed to know what he was going to teach me?

”Anyway, did you also train yourself like this?”I asked Luc-chan's training while he is thinking.

”Hmm? As you can see, I have once used the bracelet too but not anymore. The shirt that I wear now was five hundred kilograms.”He said that with his usual gloomy face.

”WHAT!!! FI..FI..FIVE..HUN…HUNDRED!?!”I was really out of shock.

No way, that's mean he is way more powerful than the top global boxers. The shirt that he wears, it's the same for every day isn't it? I didn't notice it was heavy too. Moreover five hundred kilograms?!!! How can he lifted something like that like it was nothing. He could move like normal people do.

”Well, for a beginner like you, I prefer you train with ten kilograms first. So, that's mean, your pressure weight by the bracelets right now is forty kilograms.”

”......…..” I was stunned.

Suddenly Luc-chan comes closer to my face and glares at me. I was blushed. Why the heck he suddenly acted like that. He was too close, it almost our lips could touch each other. Kyaa!!! Don't tell me he wanted to confess to me out of all the time?! No, no, no. Luc-chan is not something like that. He…don't tell me he already fall in love with me?! Bad Lylia what are you thinking. Oh God, I could hear Luc-chan's breath sound, his smell, and arhh!!!(*blushed) Luc-chan raises his right hand then he is patting my head.

Ehh, what's this feeling? Luc-chan… no, you can't… when I was about to think something else that out of my imagination, something is rubbing my breast. I noticed it and quickly take a look. Luc-chan is the one rubbing my innocent body. He then smiles to me as it was nothing.

”KYAA!!!!! PERVERT DEMONNN!!!I'LL KILL YOU FOR SURE!!!” I shouted.

”AHAHHAAH. Catch me if you can.HAhahaha” that Luc-chan is playing with me right now.

I was mad and I'm trying to releasing forty percent of my Qi just to lift up these crazy heavy things. Luc-chan is running around me. He avoids all my slow-motion hit at the same time he slapping any part of my body where I can't catch him. So, is this your true intention by giving this useless training just to touched my innocent body? I then release seventy percent of my Qi. I ragingly turn around and because I could not run like usual, I jump towards steps by steps to catch that pervert demon. Not long after that, Luc-chan stopped and at the same time I was jumped towards him. He noticed it and he just stopped me with his one hand. He grabs my face and I was completely stopped by then. He sighs…

”No, you shouldn't use Yin energy Lylia. We're training the Yang energy. As I had told you before, Yang energy is more intense and it needs more negative aura. That's mean it need your other side, your different self. It's completely different from Yin which generates positive energy.” Luc-chan explained to me.

”Ehh? So, that was for…training?”I was surprised by Luc-chan. So he is actually teaching me the Yang energy by making me mad.

”Yes, what do you think I'm going to do just now huh? I'm not that pervert to touch you little…” when Luc-chan was about to finish his word but I interrupt.

”I'll kill you pervert demon.” I stare at him furiously.

”By the way, don't release any Yin energy again. Use your madness, use your angriness, and just focus on me. If it actually generated negative energy around you… I believe, you'll feel the tremendous fearsome of power from your body.”

”Whoa. So you purposely make me mad just now to let me know how is Yang energy generate from. But you don't have to touch my breast randomly for that!” I was red and mad.

”No other way, that's the only thing that you'll get mad to me easily. Just release that madness of your heart, let it conquer your mind…but don't let it conquer completely you heart… or else you won't be able to back to your normal state.” Luc-chan explained further.

”Luc-chan could you show me a demonstration how did you draw out your Yang energy?” I asked him so that it would be easier to understand if he shows his.

”Hmm. Well, alright I'll show you mine. This is my first time showing one of my power. Watch carefully and learn from this little Lylia.” Luc-chan agree to my request.

”UNDERSTAND!!!” I said this while still lifting these heavy bracelets on my hand and feet.

Luc-chan closed his eyes as he takes a deep breath. He stands firmly and his hand makes a ready pose. The atmosphere begins to changes in the yard where we were training. I could feel something godly powerful from Luc-chan. Something rage, sorrowful, madness and it feels like a murderer intense glowing out from his body. Without realizing it, I was shaking in fear. Damn it, my feet trembling in fear. I am still watching at Luc-chan who's just in front of me in about 5 meters from my feet. The wind is flowing through him that night, his face begins to show rage expression. Dark aura has finally come out from him then he shouts out of nowhere.

”ARHHRHRHRHRHHRHHR!!!!” Luc-chan angrily shouted.

Enormous of power creates a great shockwave from his body and it blew the direct wind arounds him. I could feel that as I'm falling down to the ground now. Is this the power of Luc-chan? This is way too far… he opens his red shiny eyes. Then he finally speaks.

”Arhh, I think this is good enough. I don't have to show you my full power yet. Hahaha.”said Luc-chan whois now showing his Yang energy.

”Wait, wait, wait. You haven't show your full strength yet?”I was surprised by his tremendous power yet he said he hasn't used his full strength in Yang energy.”

”Yup. You haven't reached this state so… I don't have to show that much.” He said it while he shut down his Yang energy and back to the normal state.

That was totally insane. The level between us was far a hundred years to achieve the power as Luc-chan. He then come closer to me again and help me get up from the ground.

”Well, you got it?” Luc-chan asked me.

”Y…ye…yes…a little…is enough.” I was still shaking in fear by his evil power. I could feel that he might kill me anytime.

That intense of murderer scared me too much. But, when I see Luc-chan back to his usual self…I feel a little relieved. Yet that Luc-chan suddenly dashed to behind me and slapped my butt.

”AUCHH!!! YOU PERVERT SH*T DEMON!!!” I was scared just now, but he manages to change the situation back and keep me in training.

”You'll be slapped over and over if you can't resist back quickly little Lylia ahahah. Plus, you wear the black and white stripped underwear that I buy it for you on the other day right? It's fit on you though. But, I guess you're still growing up hahahah.”Luc-chan intends to make me mad.

”This is too over you moron! Come closer you stupid pervert!!!” I was mad and I ragingly move a little faster.

I didn't realize about the weight anymore. I move like a crazy woman just to chasing after Luc-chan. Actually, he's not that far from me. His speed in avoiding and playing around me make me triggered and wanted to hit his face once. That night, my butt was slapped until I couldn't sit properly and he even rubbed my innocent body. (sighs*)! It's hurts you know. I was exhausted and tired that night. After taking a shower, I went to my bed and sleep nicely. That was a wonderful day and the most irritating day ever.

The wooden swords that I took out earlier from the store were left behind the yard hahaha. In the end, I didn't use the wooden swords for this kind of training. Moreover, I think my training is getting tougher than before. Luc-can told me that I can't take off these bracelets until the day of my match. I'll suffer the heaviness until that day damn it. Well, I guess I can't anything about it. I think that's all for tonight, thank you for today's memories and your kindness everyone. I'm glad and happy today because I get to the next match. Raph-chan is amazing, she could even withstand someone that higher than her, Seren is also great, she might look short-tempered by her appearance, but she is the most genius and strong rival ever, I can sure that, Layla…I haven't met Layla today hehehe, I guess I'll see her tomorrow morning. Even though the match will be held two weeks from now, but we still have to go to school as usual.

So, Lylia has been tired for today. She had battling with her competent rival Rumia Camilla, and she also faints out because of her illness after the match. Luckily, she was brought by her friends quickly to her house and let Lucifer treat her. Plus, she also had train with Lucifer for the night. Lylia is now probably sleeping peacefully while Lucifer… do his usual things. Lucifer wash Lylia's dirty uniform and fix her battle uniform. He sewn Lylia's uniform quietly. Then he also fixes the broken sword. While doing all that thing, Lucifer recalling back to his past and almost touched by it.

(Lucifer's heart says).”…You're really acting like a real hero Lylia…your mother definitely really glad about this… Lamia, your daughter had a strong heart…like you. May your blessing upon her always… and lead her to the path she wanted for herself. As long as I'm here, no one could harm her…”

Lucifer was touched and also embarrassing for himself because he had showed his real self towards Lylia in the evening. But, he tries to not be bothered by that. Lucifer then do his own stuff in the kitchen after finish washing Lylia's cloths , sewn Lylia's torn uniform and fixes Lylia's broken sword. That day was filled with warmhearted, kindness, gentleness, and love.
