he thought full of conviction . "Will I be facing such strictness in the near future," as they move forward, Theo asked Raven .
"If you are serious with that, then you will indeed face such strictness . "
"I wonder if I would really improve?" Theo asked out of the blue .
"You have watched Azusa train right?" Raven asked him .
"How did you know?"
"I"ve seen you go to where they train a lot of times, and don"t be surprised that that girl knows you were there as well," Raven replied pertaining to Eureka .
Theo could only scratch his head, he was really doubtful of them at first but soon he just ended up watching how they train in order to learn as well, "There"s nothing I can do . They treat me differently over there and seeing how she trains Azusa, I just ended up wanting to learn from watching them . "
"And you have seen Azusa"s imprivement . "
"Indeed, I have, and she really did improved a lot . "
"If you are hardworking enough then you really would improve with her training . "
Theo looked at him before smiling at him and raising his hand towards him, "Then I shall work as hard, we are allied with each other already after all . "
Raven smiled and fist b.u.mp with him .
*****
Cheers surrounded them as they pa.s.s through the city towards the castle . News of their achievements reached Aurora Kingdom after all .
The whole kingdom heard about how their help to Archic Kingdom"s battle greatly affected the battles end and allowed the two kingdoms to be allied with each other .
As they got close to the gates of the castle .
"I"m amazed you still returned," Kaoru said as he stood there with his arms crossed .
"I know you"ll be mad," Akihiro replied as he went down from his horse .
Kaoru"s face became even darker .
"Okay, okay, I apoligize . I"m really sorry for taking this long to return . But we have achieved our goal, so just be happy for us, will you?" Akihiro then said .
All the officials around felt very light . Its been so long since they saw these two talk this way . After Kaoru returned in the past their relations.h.i.+p was completely strained then Kaoru decided to leave the castle and stay at the edge most part of the city and took up the position as the headmaster of the Knight Academy .
Kaoru"s eyes went past him and landed on Haruka . He can"t see her face but he can still feel, even if some wouldn"t recognize the person they love despite their face changing or their face being covered, he was not like them, he knows . He completely knows .
"Shall we go inside before we have other question and answer portion?" before he could open his mouth Akihiro put his arms around his shoulder and pulled him inside .
Yukimura and the others followed, the officials waiting for them looked at Haruka and Theo before guiding them inside, of course they were already informed that two Archic people will be coming back with them .
"I"m amazed," Eureka suddenly commented as the four of them walk at the back of the group .
"Amazed of what?" Azusa asked .
"They didn"t make their move," Eureka replied .
"Who are you referring to?"
"Those traitors, they must have lost contact with those from Archic and Confederate Kingdom but they still decided to not make a move . Truly I"m amazed . "
"Maybe they"re just waiting for the right time," Raven commented .
"I hope they make their move soon . "
"Why would you be wis.h.i.+ng for that?"
"They are not our main enemy, if we are able to finish them earlier then we can focus on planning how to defeat our main enemies . "
The three of them kept quiet, she had been thinking only about the enemies they are going to face . She didn"t care whether she had defeated a lot already or have won a lot as well . All she cared about was how to defeat the enemies .
"Why do you only think about the enemies?" Theo asked .
"Not until we finish all the enemies, especially those who will threaten all of our lives, then I won"t stop . I came here for that one reason alone," Eureka replied, coldness suddenly surrounding them .
"Our enemies are not yet around, stop exuding your murderous aura," Raven commented as he pat her head .
"I"m not a kid," Eureka replied .
"I know, I"m just stopping you from having your mind full of killing and war," Raven said as he put down his hand .
"You four should go and take Theo around, he will be staying here for a while after all . At the same time take this time to rest . We have been through a lot and you must not have rested properly while in there, now go," Akihiro then said facing them .
The four of them bowed down to Akihiro and the others before turning ready to leave .
"AZUSAAAAA!!!!" just as they got out of the castle, they suddenly heard a shout coming from the side .
Just as they truned to look, Azusa was then pushed down .
"Ouch, that hurts . Karen you"re heavy," she complained as she sat down .
"We missed gou soooooo much," Karen replied as she stand up and looked at Eureka .
She grinned before jumping at Eureka as well, who just stepped out of the way, Karen could only pout .
"I just want to hug you," she complained .
"Geez, stop that Karen, it doesn"t suit you," Feena said as she approach them .
"It"s good to see that you two are alright," she then said to Azusa and Eureka .
Despite both of them knowing that Eureka has no emotions in her, they still decided to keep her company until the time she decides to accept that they are someone who really wanted to be with her .
"It"s good to see that both of you have improved while we"re not around as well," Eureka replied feeling the aura surrounding the two of them . She can tell how much they have trained using their abilities .
*CLANG*
That"s when Raven suddenly pulled his sword and parry with another behind him .
