"*clears throat* Go on and bring these knights to their tents. At the same time you have been belittling her, I suppose this event proves her real strength, and that you will start leaving her alone," s.h.i.+gure commanded, his voice stern.
The other knights followed, s.h.i.+gure and Akihiro"s group returned to their tents.
"Was that her strength?" one knight asked Raven.
"Nope, she considered who she"s fighting against and didn"t unsheath her swords. But if you really are her enemy, then you will be meeting the death G.o.d, who loves taking a bath in a pool of blood," Raven replied looking at Eureka who returned to her sit before the commotion.
Those around him gulped upon hearing his words. Somehow they can imagine how she must have looked like. Matching it with her emotionless look, truly scary. It is truly scary.
"Come to think of it, have you seen her in such state before Azusa?" Raven asked looking at Azusa.
"I haven"t but somehow I can see it," Azusa replied thinking about it.
"And to think that she even defeated those generals on sword fight," one knight commented.
"I already told you, stop belittling her."
Those around nodded furiously, "We would stop. We would really stop."
*****
"Why don"t you rest, I"ll stand guard for now. You haven"t had a proper sleep since we came here," Raven said as he sat down beside Eureka who"s sitting at the edge of the group.
Eureka looked at him first and seemed to be thinking, before replying, "Then do allow me to sleep."
After saying this she lied down and fall asleep. She really haven"t been sleeping properly, she couldn"t trust the people of archic kingdom so she had always been on guard. But since Raven offered and she knows she could trust him, at the same time she needs more than enough rest for the upcoming battle. She had decided to accept his offer.
"Was that her full strength?" s.h.i.+gure asked Yukimura and Akihiro.
There"s only the three of them at the tent, Gato is currently guarding outside. Patrolling the surroundings.
"Your generals were drunk and is not using their abilities, while she didn"t unsheath her sword so I really can"t say that, that is her real strength. But she did defeated 40 peak leveled ability users that once was trying to kidnap our knights," Akihiro replied.
"40? And their abilities?"
"Some of them have the elements while the others are in variety."
"A zero who could do such thing? Just who is this knight of yours?"
"The biggest mystery in our kingdom, I suppose."
"You have a variety of amazing knights, Akihiro. I truly envy you. Most of my knights are just full of themselves," s.h.i.+gure couldn"t help but sigh.
"You have a variety of amazing knights yourself, you do know that right?"
"Yes, indeed."
The next day, changes were visible. The other knights started traveling behind Eureka.
"Seriously I am embarra.s.sed of my knights," s.h.i.+gure couldn"t help but lower his head. Akihiro could only chuckle seeing his new found friend fl.u.s.tered.
Their journey became peaceful, the knights would try to befriend Eureka but it"s for a naught, she is as aloof as ever.
"Azusa was not your lover, so is it Eureka? We"ve noticed how close you two are," one knight asked Raven.
"Where did that idea come from?" Raven asked in return.
"You always sit beside her, while others try, she pushes them away. How come you"re the only one allowed to sit beside her while she sleeps?"
"*sigh* Did we come from the same kingdom?"
"Eh, Ah no?"
"Isn"t that the obvious reason? We all barely know each other. And that girl does not trust almost everyone."
"I see, that"s logical enough."
"Anyway it"s becoming colder, isn"t it?" one knight commented afterwards.
"Allow me to help you," Raven replied conjuring a fire.
"That"s too d.a.m.n hot, come on are you trying to roast us?" all those around him stepped away.
"But this is what I usually conjure?" Raven was baffled.
"What usually? This is hotter than the past fire your conjuring."
Raven couldn"t help but to look at his bunch of clothes and then to where Eureka was sitting.
"Excuse me for a bit," he said before walking towards Eureka.
"Is this the reason why you made me stay at the sauna and made me use this bunch of clothes?" he asked as he sat down beside her.
Eureka faced him before answering, "You asked me to train you. Did you think that we were just playing?"
"But why is it hotter for the others while it"s still normal for me?"
"Of course your mind subconsciously conjures fire that your body could handle, that"s the reason you yourself aren"t burned. But at the same time this fire could still burn the enemy. The one wielding the ability would obviously have higher tolerance to what they conjure compared to those they attack."
"So will staying on the sauna for a year helps?"
"That"s just the first step. The next one would be different, and the last step would be for you to burn yourself alive," Eureka said.
"Wh I will have to kill myself?"
Eureka faced him, "I"m not telling you to kill yourself, I"m telling you to purify your body with your own fire. That will give you a purer fire as well."
"I shall be looking forward for that then."
"And once you survive that. You"ll be able to conjure the ability weapon that is only possible for the ice, magma and four elements."
"Ability weapon? There"s such a thing?"
"The purest abilities can conjure their very own Ability Weapon. You"ll see it once you survive in purifying your body."

"But no record had such thing."
"Indeed cause that came from a different timeline. Upon research I found out that it is still possible in our timeline."
"Then I will look forward to such an event."
They sat there for a while Eureka had lied down before Raven asked once again, "Aren"t you cold?"
"What do you mean?"
"Your only wearing your training clothes, those guys who are born here would still feel cold. You would even sleep in the snow covered ground. Aren"t you cold?"
"Training my body I guess, we were given a chance to live in a place where coldness is all you could feel. This is a good chance to train my body as well."
Raven decided to lie beside her.
"What are you doing?"
"Trying what you are doing."
"You are currently training with your ability which is the opposite of coldness."
"That"s right," he sat up upon remembering.
"You should rest now as well. You"ve been the one guarding for a few nights already. I"ll do it tonight."
"I"ll accept your offer then," Raven closed his eyes.
This had been their routine for the next few nights, until they arrived at the battle ground.
"What are you staring at?" s.h.i.+gure asked as he noticed Eureka staring at the sky.
"Can I borrow your bow and arrow?" Eureka instead asked a knight close to her.
Though baffled, that knight gave her his bow, the others who can see her, watched her movements very closely. They never saw her wield a bow and arrow and that is why they wanted to know if she can properly use it.
*WHOOSH*
The arrow flew leaving behind a sound that could only be created when an arrow was released properly.
*CRACK*
The arrow flew up high until it hit an invisible wall. After hitting it, the wall shattered.
"An ambus.h.!.+" the other knights roared preparing their arrows, there were five people on the other side of the wall. But before anyone could even release their arrows. Five continuous shots were released, hitting all five before they can even escape.
"They used their barrier and gravity abilities quite well, it seems that it"s not ambush they"re trying but spying, your highness," Eureka said returning the bow and arrow to the knight before facing s.h.i.+gure.
"I didn"t hit a vital point and if no one subdues those five, they"d end up escaping," she said to those who are staring at her.
One knight was looking at Raven wide eyed while pointing at Eureka.
"I told you to stop belittling her, she may not be using any abilities but she can definitely kill those who are."
