"All of you shall start the next step of your ability training on a different time, I am still preparing for the proper and appropriate place for you to begin your training. For now I want all of you to spar with each other using your abilities, incorporating it with your chosen weapons. You all have done a great job improving this much with the shortest possible time," Eureka commented. She had told Raven that it is better for him to wait for the others, that way she would be able to prepare the appropriate place for them at the same time."Theo, on the other hand, improved more than a lot. I shall step up your training," Eureka added facing Theo.
His concentration was indeed remarkable, with only just a few hours to spare for the past few days he had improved from hitting medium sized moving objects to small moving objects.
Azusa"s eyes showed different emotions after hearing Eureka"s compliment to the others. She had improved but Theo have out run her already. It feels like she is at the bottom of the cla.s.s.
"Azusa, shall we talk by the lake?" Eureka suddenly asked.
"Eh? Uhmm yeah it"s alright," she replied.
"Go on first, I"ll just leave some instructions to these guys before I speak with you," Eureka replied to which Azusa followed.
She threw a confused look to Feena and Karen, and they threw her that same look as well.
"Don"t hold back in your sparring like your life depends on it, but don"t go over board either. Triple check your strength once you have used too much of your energy. Your body isn"t acquainted with your new found strength yet and so I need you to understand that going overboard might cause you your life. Theo, after I speak with Azusa we shall continue your training, for now spar with them."
"We understand," they stiffly replied while Raven just nodded.
After she left, Karen instantly faced Feena, "Is that because we barged in her house awhile ago?"
"I don"t think that she is that petty," Feena replied looking at the path Eureka walked to.
"But her aura is too scary. It"s too cold that it felt like we are threading on a thin ice," Karen answered looking at that same path as well.
"If it isn"t because you guys barged into her house, then is it something that she encountered before our training?" Hideyos.h.i.+ chimed in,
"Might be," Mamoru answered they then looked at Raven.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked.
"Well, we"re just wondering if you have any idea where she went before coming here," Theo answered, he too is too scared to try and get close to her right now. Despite him pestering her for the past few days.
"*sigh* The news you heard this morning," Raven started. Of course he was able to piece together the information he had in order to understand what made the change in the aura surrounding Eureka.
"About the conspirators?" Mamoru asked.
"Yes, who do you think would call for someone regarding that matter?"
"Do you mean that she was called by king Akihiro?"
"Then Theo," he looks at Theo.
"What?"
"Do you remember the time in Archic when they clashed at each other?"

"I do remember the people telling me about it. And they all said-" he stopped talking while his eyes grew wide.
"It"s the same as back then, I guess their conversation didn"t go well and that caused the change in her aura. But obviously I have no idea why they clashed once again," Raven answered.
They all started contemplating on what he had said.
"That"s enough for now, she is professional enough not to mix the two together, she had given us instructions, let"s do just that," Raven broke their thoughts and commanded.
"You"re right, nothing will come even if we think about it on our own," Theo then added before all of them started pairing up in order to spar.
*****
"What is it?" Azusa asked, they"ve been staring at the lake for some time now and she is starting to feel awkward especially since the aura around Eureka is very much the same as when she fought against king Akihiro.
"I want you not to feel bad about your ability," Eureka spoke after who knows how long.
"What... do you mean?" Azusa asked despite having the feeling of what Eureka is talking about.
"I couldn"t help you with your ability because of your father," Eureka then said.
"Do you know my father?" Azusa asked looking at her.
"No but I am very much acquainted with the ability he had pa.s.sed on you," Eureka replied facing her.
"What of it?"
"The enemies does not need you but your ability instead."
"My ability?" Azusa"s brows furrowed.
"You have his blood after all, the hero of the kingdom. Once you have greatly improved those enemies might target you even more in order to acquire it. I don"t want any more risks, when you were kidnapped, that was already out of my calculations. We can"t let that happen again. I don"t plan on not helping you, but I would very much help you once everything is over. Once we have defeated all those enemies lurking in the dark. But I do wish for you to remain diligent enough on your sword fighting, using dual sword ain"t as easy as how others portray it. But you were able to grasp it in just a few months, adding your speed, you have a lot of weapons with you. For now I can only help you with adding your ability to your weapon," Eureka explained thoroughly.
"I do understand what you are saying. But do explain to me what does it have to do with my father," Azusa asked.
"I can"t tell you that just yet," Eureka said before she started walking.
"YOU CAN"T TELL, YOU CAN"T TELL. YOU"RE ALWAYS LIKE THAT. BUT DON"T YOU THINK THAT IF IT IS TRULY CONNECTED TO US WE HAVE ALL THE RIGHT TO KNOW!!" Azusa snapped. Her father was brought into the conversation she just can"t leave it as is. She wants to know what"s so special about them, what"s so special about their family.
"*sigh* Your bloodline was the one who had found out that speed ain"t limited with the word itself. But it became a taboo, after the first person disappeared it was then lost. Your father is a curious fellow and researched the silent years from your bloodline and found out about it. He knows how dangerous it is that so after learning it he kept quietabout it and decided to only use it when it is truly necessary," Eureja explained.
"What is that "it"?"
Eureka faced her as if a.s.sessing her without using her eyes.
"What is it Eureka?" Azusa asked once more after Eureka just faced her.
"I am wondering if you are already prepared for what you are about to hear?"
"Huh?" Azusa furrowed her brows.
"If I tell you what it is, I will also tell you what it had done to you and your surroundings, will you really be prepared?" Eureka asked becoming even more serious.
Azusa was suddenly lost for words, it seems that she would be greatly hurt of what she is about to hear. After thinking about it for a few moments she raised her head and looked straight into Eureka"s eyes, her eyes full of resolve.
"I am, I have faced so many things already, I know I will be able to handle what you are about to say," she then said.
Eureka"s eyes s.h.i.+fted for a bit, it"s very little that Azusa didn"t notice it.
"We won"t allow you to carry it on your own, we would like to know as well. We have to know in order to help," Mamory said as the five of them approach.
Azusa and Eureka both already knew that they are approaching so it is no longer a shock to them to hear it.
"*sigh* First the king, now it"s you guys. I am getting tired of all this explanations that I have to do," she looked to her side as if she is just exasperated from all the work.
"Really I"m tired," but she had actually murmured these words.
"It already came from you, one day all stories could be told. I suppose this time is the best time to tell this story," Feena said not one of them hearing her last words.
"Kaoru," Eureka then called.
Kaoru could only walk out defeated, he really can"t conceal himself from this person, and seeing the startled look from the others it was only Eureka who noticed him.
"Can you create a barrier around us, a barrier that won"t let anyone see the inside and not a sound will come out."
"I can," Kaoru pouted. Her att.i.tude is telling him, this is your payment for eavesdropping again.
Without waiting he did as he was told, after that walked to another side, "Why didn"t you join them?"
"I am not yet qualified to stand on that same place as they are, they barely know me, I can"t just barge in and demand to know the secrets," Theo replied as he could only look at them.
"One day, I know those guys will tell you as well," Kaoru said patting his shoulder before looking back at the group.
