Sparring

" level 7 . . "

right now esdeath is thinking about how can she become stronger within short time. she still young but few days ago she see someone her age already level 3. her name was ais wallenstein. one of the younger generation from loki familia.

for apollo familia sake, she need to become strong. even stronger than that ais wallenstein there are still many people. one of the people is ottar. that person will be her ultimate goal. in her head she is counting how long will she reach level 7 with her progression.

at that time, sound of knocking came from the door of her room, 'who is it' thought esdeath with a little annoyed because someone disturb her on rest day. she walk up to the door and open it.

hyakinthos is waiting outside her room. after knocking he stay silent with his head hang down and only raise it when the door opened. he open his mouth to speak when he see esdeath showed up in front of him.

" let's have spar "

esdeath got surprised by the sudden invitation. if she remember it right the one that standing in front of her right now is hyakinthos, he is her familia captain and the group leader when going to dungeon.

she determine to become strong under her god wings, the god apollo familia. that is why she will not backing from someone challenge not even her own familia member. in fact she is happy that right now he challenge her.

" spar? , let's do it ! "

esdeath said while showing very bright smile on her face. the face on hyakinthos become frown after hearing what she just said. without further ado they start walking to the garden area. many familia member see two of the strongest member want to do sparring and surrounding the area.

inside esdeath heart, with many spectator seeing her like right now suddenly she feels she no longer can be defeated. it just what she believe with her feeling right now.

in opposite, hyakinthos feel very bad right now. not only has he challenge new familia member of his but also the member that he challenged is 6 years younger than him. the pride inside him rise because of that reason.

both of them take stance, ready to fight each other.

hyakinthos start to attack first, he slash toward esdeath with his sword but it got easily block by her sword. after the first attack, both of them moved back and hyakinthos start thinking on how to attack to esdeath again.

but esdeath already attacking before hyakinthos finished his thought. he try to defend her attack alas every attack is greater than his. he can't defend it. hyakinthos shirt got torn by the esdeath sword attack.

the next is already can be predicted. all of hyakinthos attack can be connected and not even once hit esdeath on the contrary all esdeath attack hit hyakinthos, his uniform torn on left and right side.

after few minutes hyakinthos starting panting trying to take a breath. he is the only one that got hurt from his opponent attack, it can not stay still like this.

he was supposed to be the older one

he was supposed to be the stronger one

but why right now she is beating him without any spare and tiredness showing on her face.

esdeath stare at him, walking to end this sparring session, but at that time.

both of them can feel their god pressence walking toward them. they turn their head toward apollo way. their god is showing them his pressence. the crowd also notice something isn't right with them and see on the direction they are seeing.

the crowd become noisy after saw their god walking toward them. the follower of hyakinthos is happy because they will get to see their god scold esdeath but beyond their expectation their god smiled and then turn away from garden place and walk toward outside. then a laughing could be heard across the garden.

" HAHAHAHAHAHA "

they turn their head toward the source of laughter. esdeath is the one that make that sound and she even mock hyakinthos next after it.

" you are not suited to be our captain. "

hyakinthos see esdeath stare with a stare, he hate this kid guts and thinking that she will make a revolt.

" god apollo has showed us the answer "

" shut up "

hyakinthos only replied with low voice.

the crowd of spectator can hear her speak loudly but not hyakinthos voice because it is too low compared to esdeath voice.

" give up the captain role. give it to me "

" SHUT UUUUP !!!!! "

hyakinthos raised his hands toward the sky and start chanting his magic words. the spectator become shocked at this development and start ran away disorganized because they know the power of his magic.

" my name is love, precious child of light. i offer my body to my sun . . . "

esdeath stand still in front of hyakinthos, it is like she is waiting for him to finished chanting the magic with a smile on her face showing.

" my name is sin, jealousy of wind. i call a gus of wind to my body. released ring of fire - come, wind of the west . . . . "

on top of hyakinthos there are formed ring of fire and wind. with the gold shine it has formed circling and become bigger overtime he chant. on the opposite esdeath is ready on her stance to accept hyakinthos magic.

" ARO - ZEPHYROS ! ! ! ! "

the golden ring start moving toward esdeath, the messy spectator can see and thought it is the end for esdeath,

" RUPELE ! ! "

" Teigu extract - Ice Pillar "

the golden ring blew up, it make smoke formed by the impact, the smoke very thick that they couldn't see the aftermath of the battle.

but, it become out of their expectation again. the smoke has dispersed. the only thing that left is a big pillar of ice at least 2 and half meter height. esdeath right now is standing while hyakinthos is lying on the ground.

hyakinthos face stepped on by esdeath shoe, if she use more power then hyakinthos head could blew up so she control it. she smiling while see hyakinthos that she stepped on.

" you lost "

on the hyakinthos side, his pride is broken because he lose to esdeath. but a new feeling emerge without he realise. he feels happy now that he losing to esdeath and want to get stepped even more.

esdeath smile is attached on his heart forever until the future . he said the last thing he wanted to before got unconscious from mind zero.

" you are the captain now "

esdeath become happier than before, she raise her shoe to the ground and start stomping it happily. esdeath still bound by her father last word ' the strong live and the weak die '. she can not kill hyakinthos because her god need him.

but if she command the group now, she can choose to go toward middle floor of the dungeon. hyakinthos always reject the idea of going to middle floor but now she has become the captain she will order them so.

and also she feels good stepping on hyakinthos face, she wanted to stepped on his face again next time. hopefully hyakinthos will accept it.
