18 Chapter 18: 2 years after...

"Come on Master, is it the best that you can do?" Kiara said lazily as she watch her young master pant heavily, sweat running down on his face and structure.

"You're just too good!" He exclaimed like a child then pouted like one. Kiara just shakes her head while massaging her forehead.

"Can't I just use you?" He asked again.

Kiara shook her head.

"Nah-ah! If you just use me then I'll feel embarrassed whenever you swing me like swinging a stick side by side to a wild dog, so you need to learn then I'll teach you how to use me" Kiara said with the matter-of-fact tone.

Hako's shoulders gave up and he sat on the cold floor.

The truth is, he was already considered as one of the best swordmasters in the school. He was also a martial artist even before Kiara came but the only unfortunate thing is, he can't win over Kiara — his own weapon and he is training for already two years now.

Kiara's identity is still in secret, only the seven of them knew about it. She is also in the third grade, since she showed her weapon in the test that was needed to pass the 2nd grade.

He still don't know what she can do that was a huge disadvantage for him and she'll just let him know if he can make her bleed once.

He sighed.

Weapons should be obedient to their Masters but his weapon is the only one on its special case to oppose him and rule over him. That was frustrating already since she don't even let him instruct things.

He looked at her whose eyes stared at him. Many students already thought that she was his girlfriend since they are always walking side by side.

"I know what you're thinking" Kiara suddenly said. He groaned.

That's another, she can hear his thoughts! No sign of privacy at all!

"Stop reading my mind! tss!" he said as he throw his sword at her that she immediately caught.

"Why it's fun!" Kiara said smiling widely. And there goes that smile again, it is like a medicine whenever he gets angry, reliever like it was.

It made the bitchest girl fond of her and the most silent girl to laugh out loud. Laden began courting her actually and Leon began to like her.

He sighed for the second time.

"Stop sighing Master! You look like the most problematic person in the Academy" Kiara said while laughing.

'Am I not?' He asked himself in his mind and the girl started to laugh again, probably she heard what he just said on his mind.

The situation interrupted when three loud knocks was heard in the Training Room's door.

The door opened revealing a certain energetic man with blue hair.

"Hako, there is an announcement in the Dorm Main Hall" he said then he looked at the girl.

"Hi sis!" He said then Kiara just smiled.

Thomas was about to leave when there's something he remembered that made his face serious and worried.

"Letter Grades will be there Hako bro, will you be okay?" He said. He just lowered his head thinking of multiple scenarios that might happen.

"I must be..." He answered in a low tone.

"Okay" he said then leave after he waved goodbye.

"Letter Grades?" Kiara asked turning her head to her master.

"Those were the students that was studying in the Higher Campus. They finished the studies here already and they were classified in 5 ranks, 2 groups each rank — the excelled and regular after graduation. Unfortunately, my elder sibling are already there and that is place where my friends will go also after their 2 year freelancing on the Academy" he said.

"We should go" Kiara stated as a weird smile appeared on her face.
