13 A fight

"Hue… you're so mean!" Ashley whine clinging to Zeolite who just returned with Celine, "get off of me." Zeolite said a tick mark appeared on his head, "not until you and I go to a mission!" Ashley pout, Zeolite sigh, "can it be tomorrow?" He ask, "Really? Mhm! It can!" Ashley said happily, "fine, tomorrow then, now, let me rest." Zeolite said ordering a coffee.

"Alright!" Ashley grinned sitting beside him, "Jeez, you can at least tell us that you're going on a mission with Celine. We think you two were kidnapped or something." Hector said worried, "If I tell you, you guys would want to come isn't it?" Zeolite ask plainly, "That can be true…" Hector said holding his chin.

"Oh right, I want to visit my hometown. But when?" Theresa said wandering, "Oh! I want to go! I want to know your hometown! Can I?" Hector ask stars in his eyes, "sure, sure, anyone?" Theresa ask, "Hee, I miss playing with kids there, count me in!" Ashley cheered, "the place is peaceful for what I've heard, yea, count me in too." Zeolite said opening his book.

"Seems fun." Celine said, "Where master goes, I'm in." Arkus yawn on Hector's head. "So many want to come. Then Saturday?" Theresa ask, "Sure!" Ashley said, as the other nod, "I'm so happy." Theresa smile.

A member of Fiery Spirit bangs the door open, panting from the run, and said, "Master! A fight happens!"

[Central of Kenryoku]

"Really? Asagi? I didn't know you are easy to get mad." Akane teases while dodging the lights magic, "Shut up! You're the one starting all of this!" Asagi yelled, magic circles appeared beside her, shooting light magic at Akane, "whoops, then, you wouldn't mind if I fight back." Akane smirk, blood spears formed above her, shooting at Asagi. Asagi clicked her tongue, she was about to form a barrier but she was caught off guard, the spear is right in front of her right eyes, until,

"Stop it! You two!" Someone shout, Akane spears immediately stop working, "ah, Commander Sen, hello." Akane smile waving at him as nothing happened before, "Commander!" Asagi said surprised, "Asagi, I expect you to control your temper. Remember?" Commander Sen ask glaring at her, "Y-Yes sir…" Asagi said staring at her foot.

"Man, chill, I started it first, no need to blame her." Akane said her hand behind her head, Commander Sen sigh, "Miss Murasame. I expect a wise choice from you. You are one of the top 5 best mages, please think before taking action." He said his hand behind his back.

"Don't care much, I was just picking at her. Besides, I've never ask for the position, you all declare me as one." Akane smirk, "Whatever. Let's go, Commander Asagi." Commander Sen said motioning his hand, "r-right." Asagi said following him.

"Oh, Asagi!" Akane called, Asagi turn around, "what?" she ask a little annoyed, "You're still beautiful as always." Akane flirt, "Shut up!!!" Asagi yelled before running away to catch on with her Superior.

"That man is no fun!" Akane groans cracking her neck, "Miss Akane, I would like an explanation." Master Fang said staring at her, "oops, I'm in trouble." Akane laughs, "Let's go." Master Fang said walking away as Akane followed.

Senjou and Senov just got out from a café, sweatdrop at the damage Akane cause, "why was she our leader again?" Senjou ask a nervous smile on her face, "it's us who choose her. Since she's the strongest and most trustworthy. But not really." Senov sigh, "yeah, we should do something to kill time." Senjou said. "And what is that exactly?" Senov ask, he keeps saying in his mind, 'not a bar please, no, no.'

"Whoa, these damages is insane!" Hector said amazed by the damaged central. "This is crazy." Zeolite sigh massaging his forehead, "How much to repair this?" Ashley ask wondering the price, "these two are extraordinary." Theresa sweatdrop. "Ah, so this is their power..." Celine said staring at the half-destroyed.

Ashley eyes land to a group of kids waving at their direction, "Kids!" She cheered running at them, "big sis!" They said happily.

"Since when did she close to kids?" Zeolite ask his hand rest on his hips. "She always like to play with kids." Theresa giggles, "She seems to have fun." Zeolite said a little smile on his face. "Yes, she is." Theresa smile.

"Wah! Zeolite is smiling!" Hector said surprised, "shut up." Zeolite said his smiles drop. "Fufufu. What does make you smile O Emo Boy Zeolite." Hector asks a stupid grin in his face, "watching someone beating you." Zeolite said glaring at him ominous aura lingering around him, "forgive me." Hector apologize bowing.

Celine giggles when she sees their relationships, "what are you giggling about?" Arkus ask he is sitting on Hector's shoulder. "Nothing." Celine smile.

"Miss Akane, please, show a good impression. If not, I will have to suspend you from the guild." Master Fang sigh massaging his forehead, "Tsk. Fine, I'll try." Akane said leaning on the wall. "Good. I'll give you another chance. Please take this seriously." Master Fang said, "Alright." Akane nodded, "I have some interesting news." She said crossing her arms, "and what is that?" Master Fang ask, "Zosce, one of his team is lingering around here." Akane said.

"What? How can they break in?" Master Fang ask trying to control his tone of voice. "The barrier is broken. Someone broke it by force." Akane said, "This is bad…" Master Fang said panicking a little, "I suggest that, we need him to come-" "No! We don't need him! We can take care of this!" Master Fang snapped, when he realized he has raised his tone, he took a deep breath. "Senov can't handle this type of barrier, I know he will work hard, in result, we will lose him, which I can't allow that to happen." Akane said her eyes shows seriousness.

"First. I need you three to find them. Then we'll try to fix it on our own." Master Fang said, "fine, but Senov will not repairing it." Akane said not wanting to lost her team, "We'll wait for her to return. For now, we'll just do what we can." Master Fang said closing his eyes, "waiting for her to return? Impossible, she'll return in 2 years!" Akane argues, "We're taking the risk. And that's it." Master Fang stated. "Tsk. Whatever you say. If things go out of control, I'm calling him." Akane said pissed, exiting the room.

When she left his office, Master Fang hung his head low, "It's not that simple miss Akane…" he muttered frowning.
