"Anyway,You must keep my identify secret ,no matter who  they are ,understood?"(Ezax)

They nod hastily,because seeing Shiro punishment they know if they mess up.Though it just drink my special drink which combine some medicine for example laxative.Of course this is 100% safe ,this is one of medicine that i use for people who make the worst mistakes.Now Shiro are in toilet,i will bet 5 hours before she go out from there.

"Oh yeah,i forget because i wake up late today,but if you slipped to my bed again,i will give you 10 hit of paper fan."(Ezax)

Hikari,this days getting more more dangerous,to think she wake up and go away from my room just before i wake up.why don't you become assassin instead?Well even my dragon looks like doesn't care if she doesn't do dangerous to me.

"Ezax,about today match how is it?"(Eliza)

"Pretty good actually ,but you kinda slow when parrying i think you should focus on dodging more Eliza.."(Ezax)

"Yes!!"(Eliza)

Eliza immediately become happy.Well considered girl that i berfriend with she is the easiest to handle while hikari is the hardest.i can't predict what she do because she was to random when it comes to daily life and love,the worst type for me apparently.I think i should lay some trap tonight.

"Anyway,There is a day free before semi  final,what do you want to do Eliza?I suggest you take a break from training.."(Ezax)

"If ezax say so ,i will sleep."(Eliza)

"Boss,can we "try" her?"(Minion)

As the guy try to rape hikari,hikari face went paled,then suddenly a guy with mask stand behind them.That mask the one who save her.He wear a sky blue cape and has silver align on it.

" Such a thing is impossible because you won't survive this night."(??????)

A light went flash their neck...immediately all of the minion heads were severed by light sword..It was very fast even Hikari could barely see it.The leader try to attack him by doing a spin slash but the spin slash only hit air,then immediately 5 sword hovering around his neck.Hikari was surprised a light magic user the same as her.

"I will give you everything!!Just please spare me!!!!"(Noble)

"Hoo?Then tell me your relation ship with the kidnapper no Poison Lizard crew."(Masked guy)

The masked guy wear a mask,but everyone could hear he was sighing.

"Looks like i must be alert until everything over,what a pain.Well thanks for answering  and goodbye."(Masked guy)

Immediately the sword stab his neck and he stopped moving.

"hmm!!Hmm!!"(Hikari)

Hikari try to ask who is him,but the masked guy only say.

Looks like the masked guy was missunderstand what she want to say.it is normal though,so hikari doesn't mind it.The masked guy tied the rest of guy then put them on barn.after that he take their wallet ,he set hikari free.

"Now follow me quietly,we don't want to let anyone knows where we going okay?"(Masked guy)

"Nn!!"(Hikari)

Hikari,was sure this guy doesn't has bad intention beside he already save her once so she will follow him,once they go to some alley,finally Hikari sighed out of relief ,then she ask him.

"Who are you?why you save me 5 years ago and now?"(Hikari)

Because he wearing a mask ,he cannot show his expression,but surely he was grumbling.

"Sigh. The world is so small.never expect the girl that i saved 5 years ago was you."(Masked guy)

Immediately he unmasked himself,Hikari then face cramped...yes it was Ezax...

"Really..Hikari,next time please be careful.What kind of person get kidnapped twice."

Ezax was the person she loved,he was also Royal Blade the one  who she is idolized what's more he was her first love...he was unconsciously make Hikari fall in love with him more.But Ezax is block head in this matter so he will never realize it.Shaking her head to get rid of her blushing she then said.

"Ezax,I swore i will never let you go.I will make you fall in love with me."(Hikari)

Ezax,in his heart was regret not keep his guard up,now there is more reason for her to follow him...he should keep his guard up..well considered the information it isn't that huge mistake.beside he knows hikari are someone who cling on hope,because she doesn't cry ,just pale..

"Anyway Hikari,Until the tournament over- no until we are out of this city be careful.Poison lizard are name of  certain of bandit group and the leader was S rank adventurer ,so run away once you feel danger.."(Ezax)

"Ezax,is he someone you know?"(Hikari)

Hikari noticed Ezax expression turn into hatred once he say poison lizard...there is great chance he said that because he has connection with them.

"...pretty much,The leader was the previous Royal Blade candidate after all."(Ezax)

Hikari was surprised,Why previous Royal Blade become turned bandit.

"Don't try to fight him no matter what,it will be hard to protect you once you become their hostage..beside i have responsibility to kill him after all.It is my fault to let such a criminal alive after all."(Ezax)

Ezax,that is right...this is his responsibility as someone that failed killed him.the one who was thirst for power.
