Shizu followed June toward the main castle, it wasn't guarded as the number of people currently there can be counted on one hand. 

As they entered through the main door they came upon the figure of Leon walking up the stairs.

"Leon Sama" June shouted.

Hearing a voice calling him Leon turned his head around and looked at his callers with his everyday cold eyes.

"Isn't he cute Leon Sama?" Asked June while showing Leon the fox.

As the gaze of the fox fell upon Leon its eyes turned red and it started to growl at Leon.

"Grrrrrr"

The fox tried to jump out of June's embrace but June kept holding it tightly while trying to calm it down.

"Shh, Boy calm down."

Leon with his cold eyes looked at Shizu who was standing next to June for a while and then continued on his way.

As Shizu felt Leon's gaze her body started to burn and fire started to cover her. Her eyes turned red and she started to float.

"Ru..n Ju..."

Were the only words she could say as the flames engulfed her, as it receded what came to view was a red-eyed Shizu with an emotionless face looking at June. Looking at the still growling fox she pointed her hands at it.

"Shizu..."

She wasn't even able to finish her words as flames started to surround her forming a mini tornado.

"AAAAAAAAA"

She cried out in pain but Shizu didn't stop and still looked at the burning person with an emotionless face. You could see tears forming and evaporating in her eyes as she looked at the now-dead body.

Finally, the flames disappeared and Shizu turned back to normal. She fell to the ground with both of her knees down while looking at the burnt corpse in front of her.

Leon was long gone and now there was just silence in the room. Shizu neither cried nor spoke anything and just continued to look at the dead body.

After an hour or so she finally stood up and picked the body up with both of her hands. Walking toward the farther side of the garden she dug a hole and buried the body.

Giving the place where she buried the body a last look she walked away in complete silence.

Arriving in front of the training ground she came upon the vision of a black Knight training with his sword.

As Shizu entered the ground the Knight stopped and looked at Shizu. Shizu just gave him a nod and put her weapon down.

The knight seeing this threw her a metal sword but blunt. He also picked up a metal sword and pointed it at Shizu.

"In the mood for training hah?" The knight spoke.

Shizu didn't give a reply and just charged at him like a wild animal. Covering her swords in flame she attacked him with the ferocity of an animal.

The knight easily blocked her onslaught and gave a piercing bow to her stomach sending her flying.

She collided with the wall vomiting some blood but still stood up. Even with such an injury she didn't stop and continued to attack him.

Even though she gave such fierce attacks, he blocked them easily and gave her counterattacks severely injuring her.

It had been an hour since the battle started and the knight hadn't moved from his place and showed no injury or any sign of fatigue.

As for Shizu, just looking at her currently one would ask how is she even alive. She had vomited so much blood that most of her clothes had been stained. One of her arms is bending in a direction it shouldn't be able to.

You can see blue patches even through her clothes everywhere in her body. Her legs are shaking and she is barely able to keep her conciseness.

And those are just the external wounds, all the internal bleeding she currently has, broken ribs and bones. If not healed promptly she will die.

"Well, enough of this." The black Knight said and started to walk in the direction of Shizu.

Shizu tried to lift the sword in her hand but wasn't able to and as Claude neared her he gave her a strong punch in the stomach knocking her out.

She fell to the ground with her eyes closed, while vomiting some blood. If someone looked at her currently they would think that she is dead.

Looking at the knocked-out Shizu the black knight took out a high-level healing potion out of his spatial storage and poured it on her.

The injuries she had suffered quickly started to heal but it will take some time.

Finishing that he started to walk out of the training hall and was met with a familiar figure.

"Oh, Alrose what may you be doing here," Claude asked.

"I heard a commotion so I came to check what was happening," Alrose replied.

"And you seem as excessive as always." He again said as he looked at the knocked-out Shizu.

"Well, you know how I am," Claude replied.

"I guess."

"So wana go for a drink," Claude asked.

"No, I have more important things to do like that Hero who is traveling around the world."

"Oh you mean Chronoa, even Leon Sama told us to watch out for her."

"Yes, that's why you shouldn't drink currently."

"I guess you are right."

There talk continued as they walked out of the training field and toward their respective post.

Shizu was still knocked out on the ground and her wounds were continuing to heal. As the day turned into the night and with the moon hung above her head Shizu opened her eyes.

As she opened her eyes she just silently looked at the moon above her. Cold wind passed by her but she didn't care and continued to lay there.

A small tear dropped from her eyes then more and more started to show themselves.

As if the floodgates were opened tears started to flow uncontrollably.

"Waaaaa"

She just cried her heart out, she forgot everything and poured every bit of sadness in her heart in form tears.

"Wa...waaa..haa.haa Never again"

She spoke as she stopped her tears and looked at the moon. With her hands raised high, she promised herself to never let such a thing happen again.

As she said her words she fell asleep, it seemed like the fatigue of the day had caught up to her.

(A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter. As you have noticed I built her past more than in the story because why not? So that's that. I was also able to finish this chapter today so I can be said to be back in my schedule. Anyway goodbye for now and see you in the next chapter.)
