Saku was recovering from his burning pain that has been becoming more frequent and each time more severely. It was merely brief as Saku stood up straight looking much better but Aureline wondered "Saku are you okay? That looked rather painful"
"don't worry I'll be fine" said Saku although Aureline didn't feel much relief
"It could be due to all the stress. You fought with Mia and then got attacked by Kieran" said Aureline "I feel a bit bad now"
"hey no sweat. If push comes to shove I can always just sit out the match" said Saku easing her worry slightly "so whose your opponent again?"
"That would be me"
They both turned to see a girl walking towards them. The girl, about seventeen, had fiery red hair in a very thick ponytail of hair down to her shoulders. She had blue eyes and her uniform was the same except black and grey. She had a slim figure with a well-endowed bust. As she spoke she seemed to have a lot of confidence in her words "So you the girl are my next opponent?"
"yes and you must be Jessamine" said Aureline in an unwary tone
"You can drop the attitude I was merely asking. I'm guessing you're not the friendly type"
Aureline wanted to retort, she looked annoyed and angry but then it simply left her she could found no answer. As if Jessamine could sense this "hey it's okay. I just get caught in the moment. I'm guessing you got the assist card too" Jessamine displayed a card with the word ALLY "I've decided...not to use mine. I couldn't any trustworthy friends on my level. Which I meant...no aura-fighting friends" Saku could tell she tried to recover from her conceited comment "So have you decided to use yours?" Jessamine then looked at Aureline. Aureline appeared to be unable to answer but then Jessamine looked at Saku "It's you isn't it?" Saku nodded
"yeah that's right. She just asked me. I'm Saku Stritos" he then gestured a hand towards her "nice to meet you"
Jessamine looked a bit awkward which Saku noticed "What's wrong?" Jessamine saw his face and then shrugged off her uneasiness
"no sorry it's my first time meeting a guy with manners" said Jessamine slightly shaking her hand with a smile "the name is Jessamine. I'm from an academy up far to the north" As Jessamine let go she observed him "hmm"
"What...what is it?"
"Your gaze hasn't wandered down once" as she said that Saku looked down to her large chest "Oh strike that last comment" she said with a smirk and folding her arms "they are quite impressive aren't they? It's impolite to look you know"
"What do you expect me to do when you point it out?" said Saku annoyed with a red face to which Jessamine gave a sort of grin
"You have got a point sorry. So Saku do you mind if we talked for a minute...just quickly?"
"yeah just give me a moment" said Saku to which Jessamine nodded and walked ahead.
Saku then turned to Aureline. Aureline looked like she was lacking in energy "Aureline are you okay?" she looked startled
"yeah...I'm fine"
"are you sure okay? Because I'd be willing to help if you'd like" she gave a small smile which made Saku worry
"Don't worry I'll be fine" said Aureline walking past him "I'm going to warm up. The fight will be on in twenty minutes...I'll...see you there" Saku just watched her go with worry and pity in his heart
