章 60: Match Over!

The match between Squad Fighters and Squad Heping was over. Denvil gave a huge laugh and mocked us about how his team was great and how he was going to win this academic tournament again. On the other end, I saw Cyan in the medical room, she was unconscious and recovering. She had bandages all over her body and face. Ilora kept an eye on her just like me.

As soon as I entered our locker room, I saw depressed and scared faces. I sigh. "Really?" I question. "What?" Brenna looks confused. "After getting up to this point you guys are being all sad." I look at Hister. "Why are you shivering? It's not like you could have done anything for Cyan." I say to her. I sigh. "Just have your mind as calm as you can." I say. "We still have a match before we could face them." I continue. Everyone seems to have cheered up a little. I sigh again. After watching that match...I don't think anyone would want to fight that monster.

I begin taking a stroll in the hallway. I see Crumi walking towards me. "Hello there!" Crumi says raising her hand. "Hi..." I am confused. Why did she greet me? "Are you out on a walk?" Crumi questions me with her hands on her back and a cute face right in my face. "Yeah...Why are you asking me?" I ask Crumi. "Let's walk together then." Crumi says with a smile. "Alright I guess..." I say. I am still confused by what she wants from me but I guess a little walk won't be of any harm.

"That friend of yours...She was quite brutally defeated, neh?" Crumi asks me. "Yeah...It was pretty rough but I plan on fighting that Hayden head on...And defeat him." I reply clenching my fists. "That means you have to defeat me right?" Crumi asks me. "Of course I have to." I say. "I see..." Crumi smiles. "Good luck..." Crumi says with a smile and leaves. "What's with her?" If Amy and Ilora aren't confusing...Now she's here to confuse me too. What's with all this confusing girls popping out outta nowhere? I sigh.

The next match is about to begin. I step in the arena with my team and I see Crumi in front of me with her team. "GO GET EM ALL CRUMI!!!" Oki cheers up and so does the crowd. "Before the match begins, I have something to say." Crumi raises her hand. Everybody on her team looks at her all confused and even Oki does. "I wanted to say that...I-GIVE-UP!" Crumi says with a smile. "Eh?!" I am confused and so are my team. "Oh so you want to-WHAT?!!!!" Even the announcer is confused. What the hell just happened here? Someone has to explain to me what happened here...

"HEY CRUMI IS YOUR HEAD IN THE RIGHT PLACE?! YOU GIVE UP?! WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS THAT?!" It's like Crumi doesn't want to pay attention to anyone and keep smiling. "Are you sure...Madam that...You want to give up?" The announcer questions Crumi. Crumi smiles, "Yes for sure! After all, I can't fight my future husband." Crumi says with a smile. "Eh?!" Future husband? "Future husband? Whose that?" Richard asks. Crumi begins walking towards our team. I wonder who her future husband his..."Hmm?" Crumi is standing in front of me. "Nya~" She grabs be tightly and begins licking my cheeks. "HUUUUUH?!!!!!" All of the stadium erupts along with Oki, Squad Eclair and my team. "Playboy, tsch!" Did I just see Ilora get jealous and leave? "I guess...This match...Is over..." The announcer announces. The crowd begins to downgrade us. "Oh come on...The next match isn't even going to be that interesting." "Fighters squad will dominated this noob squad." Stuff like that was thrown around the crowd.

"YOU PERVERT!!! YOU GOT ANOTHER GIRL!!! THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!" Richard screams. It's not like I want all the woman to attract me. It just happens... "We don't have time for chit chat...The next match starts at 10 pm sharp. We only have 30 minutes before that and you guys already know who are facing against..." Ilora says. Her look is still the same cold one but there is a glimpse of anger in her...

I get up and begin to leave the locker room. "Where are you going?" Ilora asks me. "I just want to take a stroll that's all." I say to Ilora. Brenna sighs. "The captain is never here for our discussions, what a bad captain he is." Brenna says. Everyone look away like they already knew about it.

I heard that Cyan had awoken while our match with Eclairs was going on. I begin to make my way to meet her. "Hey, you there Cyan?" I ask knocking on her door. Cyan smiles looking at me. "Hey Henry, nice to see you again." Cyan says with a smile. Cyan has bandages all over her wounds. I sigh. "You pushed too hard." I say to her. "I had to...Even though I wasn't strong...I had to...I had to show that I was not a weakling like my brother says." She says. "But I failed...I couldn't defeat him." Cyan's face saddens. I pat Cyan's head. "Hey, you maybe weak but you know what...It's not a bad thing. To be honest, it's not a bad thing if your weak rather it's a bad thing if your accepting your weak. You can't accept your a weakling...Not now nor ever or else...People will always look down on you." Those were the words mother once said to me. I can't believe I am just repeating her words. "And look, few months ago, you wouldn't have even touched a level 5 spell and now...Your controlling a level 5 spell. That means your not a weakl-" Cyan gives me a tight warm hug. "Thank you..." She says. I can feel her smiling... "Hey now...I promised for you that I will kick your brothers little butt. So you can't thank me just yet. I will win against your brother, just watch." I say with a smile. "I know you will...Because you are the one person who will never lose to a person like him." Cyan says. "A person like him? What do you mean?" I ask Cyan.

Cyan explained to me about her past. Cyan was a daughter born in the noble family. She had everything she needed. High calibre of magic, wealth, fame, everything but that happiness didn't last for long after her mother died due to cancer. Her father married with a woman who married Cyan's father for his wealth...Her new mother and the also the blood mother of Hayden. Since the arrival of her new mother, Cyan's torture begun. Every single day...She was tortured by her brother and her mother until one day...Jian found her lying on the street on beaten and with bruises. Cyan also showed me a wound given by her new mother when she was little. It was a burn wounds that were given to her on her chest and on the back of her shoulder. Tsch! That's one cruel family...And what was her father upto during all this happened. I clenched my fist in anger.

When it comes to feelings, I have never felt anything throughout my whole life but right now...I have a surging anger which tells me to go and smash her brother's face into the ground right now...Right away. I pat Cyan's head. "Everything will be fine." I say with a smile.

At that moment, Cyan felt like she had met someone...Someone who could listen to her cries other then Jian. Cyan gave a heart warming smiling. "Do your best...I will be watching."
