The Aftermatch

"Ah! you know Ryuma? There's this guy..."

"Hahaha, is that so?" Ryuma chatting with his classmates to kill time. And then, a guy came into the room. Everyone was confused about the guy's reason to visit Ryuma.

"You're Ryuma Ochirou I assume?".

"Yes that's me".

"My name is Meres Lucifer. I'm the judge who'll decide about the condition for the winner and loser on the duel." Meres bring out a piece of paper...

"Ryuma Ochirou, as you lost the duel I hereby you're to be expelled from Herreson's Magic Highschool. Ryuma was silent meanwhile everyone was shocked.

"What, It can't be true!? We've never even heard of this!?"

"Ryuma! tell me this ain't true!"

"I'm sorry but that's the reality. Ryuma accepted the duel condition from Prince Harris. 'If Ryuma Ochirou were to lose in a duel againts his opponent, He must swear to never set a foot on Herreson's Kingdom ever again'."

"This can't be happening! Ryuma is the anchor of our class! If he's gone from this class..."

"That's not my problem. Ryuma Ochirou, you had a time until tomorrow to bring everything from your room and get out from this place. Then, excuse me." Meres left the room.

"Ryuma..." Ryuma was looking down and silent.

"I'm sorry guys but can you leave me for now?"

"But Ryuma..."

Vesmon stand in front of his classmate trying to persuade them to left Ryuma alone."Guys, I think right now is not a good time. Let's leave him alone for a bit."

"Fine then..." everyone silently walk out from the infirmary. Vesmon is the last one to leave the room but Ryuma call out to him.

"Vesmon, I wanna talk to you about something." Vesmon was confused by Ryuma's question.

"What do you wanna talk about?"

Ryuma sighed while looking out to the window. "I wanna confess something.""Vesmon feel like this is so important he feels nervous about it.

"What is it?"

"Actually, I've never want to become the strongest magician. More like, I already give up about magic a while ago." Vesmon look at Ryuma with surprise face.

"But why? why do you have to lie about that?"

"The truth is I've only interested in magic because of my curiosity. From the childhood, I've had many curiosity around me. What's that candy taste like? What's it feel like to feel pain? Will I'll be able to get through a day without sleeping?"

"I've done a lot of weird things just to satisfy my curiosity. My hunger. And it's never been full. The more I take interested in something, I'll always want to know more about it. But I guess it's just me huh? I'm pathetic aren't I? Losing to a guy I've knew I would won if I try to."

Vesmon was silent. After a few second he open his mouth."No, you're wrong. I always thought you were the best leader everyone want to. Ryuma, do you remember the first time you helped me?"

Ryuma recalled the memory when Andy was grabbed by one hand by a bullies Vesmon on the other hand, was grabbed by his friend."Shuuu~ You've never told me you've brought a airship to the school Vesmon."

"Shutup! That's my friends! Let him go!"

"Then, here comes the airship! Wide open you mouth~" And then someone grabbed the bullies hand. Andy was immediately escaped thanks to his grasp.

"Oi, I've got a airship here too." Before Vesmon knew it, The bullies was on the floor.

"AAAAHHH!!! MY FACE! MY HANDSOME FACE!"

"And for you too..." He was refering to bullies's friends. After a minute, they all were lying on the floor."Oi, I remember you're from the class. What's your name again?"

"Name's Vesmon. Umm... I want to thank you for saving my friends."

"Don't mind about it~ It's just... just looking at them makes me feel sick. That's all. Let's go. The name's Ryuma by the way." Ryuma lend Vesmon a hand to get Vesmon up.

To present," I've became strong today thanks to you! You're the light of our beacon of hope. Class 1-E, a class full of commoner have go this far thanks to you. You might forget this but I'll say it again. Thank you for leading us. Leader." Vesmon said that while bowing.

"Hah, this is the fifth time you've said the exact same thing. Of course i'm not gonna forget it."

After a few minute, Vesmon left the room. Ryuma lie on the bed and looking at the ceiling. Ryuma look at his hand. He realized that despite almost can't use the magic, he instead has been given a physical prowess."Hmm, maybe I'll try to become an adventure next..."

At night, Ryuma just got back from the infirmary. As he flick the switch...

"SURPRISE!!!" Ryuma was surprised and confused.

"Wait, I thought my birthday was about six month later?"

"Of course not dummy! This is a farewell party for our Prez! We've only planned for this so don't expect any cake though."

"Good, I didn't even eat sweets anyway."

Ryuma took the steps forward and joined his classmates. They had a fun night.
