Chapter III
"I shouldn't be in here"
Yaya thought to herself, feeling the drowsiness will take over her but just as she was about to fall asleep,a loud rapping on the door yanked her out of her drowsiness.She heatedly wrenched the door open, glaring at the young man Infront of her who stood with it's arms crossed.
"What do you want?"she asked, lacking enthusiasm at the man.
"Are you Yaya Yah?"the man asked while covering his nose and shot her a disgust gaze.
"I know I practically smell.Just tell me already so I could go back to sleep"she said while crossing her own arms around her chest.
"You can't sleep"
"And who told you that?Am I basically being robbed off of my human rights aren't I?"she asked as the man raise his brow's at this."I don't have time for this.Lady Valice wish for me to fetch you for she has something to discuss with you but first,I need to recommend you to go to the bath house"he said and walk away while yaya pulled her hair roughly and followed the guy.
"People in this place surely are cold hearted"she thought glaring at the guys back.They suddenly stopped Infront of a big door and the man face her with same disgusted look.
"Go in and take your time.Everything you need is already inside.I will be waiting in here"he said and leaned his back on the wall.Yaya then followed him and went inside,only to for her jaw to drop at the sight.The room was filled with medium size pools with steaming water was on it.On her side was a drawer of fresh towels, clothesline and hygiene kits.There are only few people on the bath house so she took off her clothes and wrapped her body with a towel.She walk through one of the pools and stepped in feeling the warm water touching her skin.
"This is heaven.I clearly needed this bath"she thought and started to scrubs her skin with soap and put some shampoo on her hair.After what's seems for twenty-five minutes,she excuse her self on the pool and took something on the clothesline.To her shock,it was the academy uniform she pull as she check the other rack for some ordinary clothes but she didn't find one.Sighning,she just wear the uniform and dried her hair with the towel and exited the bathhouse only to see the guy was still on the same position she saw him before she enter the house.
"You sure have taken you time"he said and stood while Yaya scratch her cheeks and smile sheepishly.
"Let's go"he said as they walk for two minutes until they arrive at a certain clearing and there Yaya saw Valice on the center practicing her swords skills.
"Lady Valice,my apologies for waiting you longer"he said as Valice stopped what she doing and face them."It's okay Sai,I hope it's doesn't bother you anyway"she said as the guy named sai shakes his head."It's fine lady Valice.I shall take my leave then"he said as Valice nod and the guy disappear.
"Yaya, finally your here.I only have 10 hours to teach you some of the basic swordsmanship skills.Come hold this sword firmly"she instructed and throw a sword towards YaYa's. direction who widen her eyes at this but still manage to catch it.
"Good,I thought you will only let the sword fall first before picking it"she said as Yaya only smiled at this.
"Lady Valice,why are you helping me in this?"she ask while the lady knight look at her direction and smile.
"As long as your in Etheria Yaya,you are my responsibility and I'm happy to teach you anything about swordsmanship you know"she said as Yaya felt enlightened about it.
"So basically, Claudette is one of the celestial circle,the current sixth ranker.She's good in handling weapon so as controlling her haki but she is also known for having quite temper.If someone insults her hair,she will definitely go mad and you could see some opening in her attack which will be your advantage on your fight"Yaya didn't know if she would like the idea of insulting her opponent or she would be happy that she was somehow have some advantage on their fight.
"Also if you could destroy your opponent swords,this will be your victory so let start with the basic now.Remeber,you can't underestimate your opponent Yaya."Valice said and was gone with her happy and energetic self and was replaced by a cold and stern woman as Yaya gulped at the sight.They were somewhat doing it for almost five hours, practicing her balanced and feet position, holding her sword and some attacks,and predicting the opponents and deflecting it.
"Your a fast learner Yaya.I thought we would be struck at your feet's position but boy,I was wrong.You learned it easily"she said as Yaya smiled at this and fall on the ground, breathing heavenly.
"My body hurts"she said as valice reach out her hands for her.
"It's only in the beginning Yaya,you will get used to it.Take your remaining time to rest and exactly five,breakfast will be serve in the cafeteria and the duel will start's at seven"she said as Yaya bow down and both leave the room and take different paths.
While Yaya was walking through the dark path towards her room and thinking on her practice,she didn't notice that she bumped into someone as she then look Infront of her.There are two person standing Infront of her,one is a male and the other is a female.She estimated the guy around 6'4 tall.His hair is something like brown but darker because its night and has one white streaks on it while the girl is around 6'1,taller than her by inch.She has long black hair that reached her hips.Both wears and identical robes and their eyes stare at her.
She eventually gulp as red and blue eyes stare at her making her stepped back a little.
"I…I am sorry.I wasn't looking at my direction"she said feeling the intense aura from the two.
"Be careful next time"the girl coldly said as the two passed by her and when she looks at her back,they were no one instead of her alone in the pathway.
"Ohh my god!I just talk to a ghost!"she slapped her cheeks and run quickly to her room and hide inside.

Two person was walking side by side at the dark pathway,their boots were making loud noises of footsteps that echoes through the whole place.The girl suddenly stop Infront of a huge door and look at the guy who stopped as well.
"Do you think fang is still awake this time?"she asked while the guy face her.
"Its obvious, knowing fang he would be waiting for us inside"he replied as he then open the door revealing a huge, dark and spacious room.The floor was carpeted and ornate loveseat were position in the center of the room,encased in bronze frame.There was a fireplace further back into the room.On the huge glass window stood someone,it's blazing crimson eyes stared at them from a far and with a flick of it's finger,a spears made of shadow appeared, soaring through the air and towards their direction as the girl sigh and place her hands Infront, stopping the spears immediately inside of a blue sphere.
"You traitors!How could you go on a mission without me?"the man from the window ask,while opening the lights making the two covered up their eyes.
"It was urgent and you were busy flirting fang"the guy replied and walk away towards the wall and place his sword and the vacant space.
"Shit! You could have called for me boboiboy.Both of you were fast, especially you ying.You could've find me sooner"fang said pointing his finger at the girl Infront who follows the guy name boboiboy and place her own swords.
"I don't want to see such hilarious thing"the girl name ying coldly said and disappeared in an instance.
"Huh!Just admit it that you were jealous of me seeing together with another woman!"fang shouted as boboiboy then face him with a glare.
"Enough of this fang.Im warning you!"boboiboy growled while his chocolate brown eyes change to red ones."As if I'm afraid"fang retorted,his crimson eyes were changing into purple ones.Both shared a staring state and launch to each other with each swords in hand causing a gust of wind to envelope the whole place.
"For Pete's sake!What's going on here?"a fat guy panickly asked while holding some bag of chips and stare at the two.
"Don't interfere Gopal"the two said in a low tone that sent some chills around the fat guy named Gopal as he climed towards the stairs while shouting someone's name.
"I swear I'm getting you out of the circle fang.Your attitude makes me sick you know that?"boboiboy spat,red sparks of electricity were surrounding him.
"As if I likes yours.You act like your so braved and powerful but yet you were just letting your anger to consume you"fang said, purple sparks was surrounding him also as the two engaged in a combat and exchanges some hard blows at each other.
"Ying,Sheilda!They are getting out of hand.Please stop those two before they could kill each other"Gopal cried while pulling two of his female friend who only glare at him and stared at the boys trying to kill each other.
"They can't kill each other Gopal.They might argue or fight sometimes but they were still friends,so let them be.They might be just setting off their frustration at each other"sheilda,a woman with curly brown hair and a pair of green eyes said while scratching her left eye.
"Ying do something!"Gopal scream as the said girl glare at him and then run downstairs in a blink of an eye.
"Stop it already boboiboy,fang!"ying warned crossing her arms over her chest and tap her feet a couple of time but it didn't seems to reach both of the guys ears.
"I said STOP"this time,she screams her lungs out as the two spare her a glance still, blocking each other's attack.
"If you two don't stop right now.Then I shall tell your father's about this"she warned as the two glare at her.
"You wouldn't do that"boboiboy said, retracting his sword and sheathe it back.
"Make me!"she replied, crossing her arms as fang walk towards her and grip both of her shoulders.
"You know what, its not only boboiboy who I found annoying.That includes you too you know?Your annoying and you shove those people who were trying to help you after your sister died because of you.You act brave and cold so no one would know your true self.Your fake,weak and pathetic self.Even your parents thinks the same"fang said while shaking her body at this.Boboiboy instantly pull him away from her and punch him in the face.
"What are you doing?How could you say that to her?"boboiboy asked while punching his face repeatedly.
"Boboiboy stop!"ying said, stoping his hands from punching fang again.Boboiboy push fang's body on the ground and look at her."Why are you defending him?Can't you see his insulting you?"he asked angrily as ying sigh and bend down and place her hands Infront of fang's face who's eyes were only staring at her.
"I'm not defending him.Im also not affected to it,you might forget that I have shut all of my emotions years ago.I just don't want to see my friends killing each other"she said and leave after doing her thing.Fang touch his now fully healed nose and stare at her retreating form.
"Why can't you just go back to your old self?I like it more better!"he softly said making boboiboy glare at him."No one ask your opinion.You better apologize to her later"he said and went upstairs, passing through sheilda and Gopal.
"It's your fault"shielda said to gopal and walk towards her room.
"Why me?"he asked back and followed her.
"I totally missed up"fang thought as he walk towards the sofa's and layed in there.
