----------------------------------------

Currently standing in front of the dorms courtyard garden was Lucca and Savia. Savia was keeping her gaze away from Lucca as her blushing face was the color of the garden's roses.  Lucca on the other hand was also blushing but didn't know what to say. Tolton and his group was currently keeping others away from the garden.

What is she going to say...?

Oh god! He's looking at me! What should I do...

Is she going to do what I think she's going to do...?

Okay. Just five words. You can do it Savia!

Both of them couldn't say a word as each one of them couldn't find the courage. Savia because she didn't want to mess up and Lucca because this is the first time he ever felt like a girl was going to confess to him.

"So what-"-Lucca

"I have somethi-"-Savia

Both of the them interrupted each other and started to laugh. Lucca felt better and smiled at Savia. This made Savia's heart skip a beat. Her gaze became softer as her face seemed to show a sweet innocent girl.

"So what did you want to talk about Savia...?"-Lucca

"Oh. I just wanted to know if you have free room on your team."-Savia

"Oh... So that's why..."-Lucca

"Something the matter?"-Savia

"No! No! Everything's cool!"-Lucca

Savia tilted her head at him in puzzlement but Lucca just awkwardly laughed.

So it wasn't that...

Feeling slightly dejected, Lucca just smiled.

"Yes, I have one more spot. I am taking anyone now."-Lucca

"Really? But don't you already of someone else on your team? I think he wanted to be the guardian type and with your strong magic then you would be the magic type."-Savia

"Oh you see that won't be a problem. I can go either attack or magic type."-Lucca

"Oh. Then does that mean the magic part is open...?"-Savia

"Mmm you seem less surprised that I'm an attack type also."-Lucca

"Well it's you Lucca, you do amazing things."-Savia

Savia giggled as her hair fell to her shoulders. Lucca just laughed softly.

"So can I join your team...?"-Savia

"Of course you can."-Lucca

"Then I am waiting."-Savia

"?"-Lucca

Lucca looked confused while Savia just pouted while crossing her arms.

"You have to ask a lady if she wants to join you. It's proper!"-Savia

"Wha...Oh right!"-Lucca

Getting down on one knee, Lucca took Savia's hand which made her blush. He smiled at her.

"Will you, Savia, join my team in the upcoming school tournament?"-Lucca

"Yes!"-Savia

As if she was going to cry, Savia's face was full of smiles as the color was deep red. Lucca smiled back as he stood up again. Nearby you can hear Tolton and his group crying.

"Ahh! Master! Such a lovely scene!"-Tolton

""Loveley Scene!!"

"Oy! What are you guys doing here!!"-Lucca

"Just making sure that the Master doesn't get a broken heart."-Tolton

"Who is going to get a broken heart!?"-Lucca

As Lucca went on a rampage towards Tolton and his group, Savia just giggled as she stared at Lucca with delight. With that Savia joined Lucca's team.

----------------------------------------

The day of the school tournament came. Lucca's team was made up of Tolton, Savia, and Lucca himself.  Tolton was the guardian type and in charge of protect Savia. Lucca questioned this but only got the same answer from the both of them. Lucca was the strongest so he didn't need protection but Savia on the other hand was different. Savia strengths was Healing Magic and Blessing Magic which was an amazing combo with Tolton. So deciding on what the group should do, Lucca was to stay on offense and be the vanguard of the team while Tolton protects Savia and Savia cast Healing and Blessing magic on the entire team. It was a good plan since Lucca didn't need to focus on protecting them.

"Master! I will do my best to protect Madame Savia!"-Tolton

"What's with the 'Madame'?"-Lucca

"Because Madame Savia will be marrying Master right?"-Tolton

Savia upon hearing this turned around from the group and was blushing deeply as Lucca made sure that Tolton was intimate with the ground. Tolton from than on decided not to call Savia 'Madame' due to the fact that it embarrassed Lucca. The first day was the first years so Lucca and his group decided to watch the students. Even though they were good at tactics, most of the first years were not high in power so they didn't appeal much to the upperclassmen.

It was the fourth match of the day making it the semifinals of the first years. The groups were the teams 'High on Rise' and 'Shadow Rouge'. Shadow Rouge was a team that Lucca was keeping an eye on the most. One of the  members didn't seem to fight at all and looked like to be the guardian of the team. Tolton and Savia thought that the first year was just being useless but Lucca something different and he smiled.

"Interesting. The first year is something amazing. We might have trouble in the future if we win our tournament. Tolton. Savia. Let's go, our business is done here."-Lucca

Getting up Lucca was making his way out of the arena, Tolton who was confused followed Lucca anyways while Savia just followed him without a word.

"Master, are you not going to finish watching the rest of the first year tournament?"-Tolton

"No Tolton, I can tell who is already going to win. We need to practice your guarding Tolton so we are going to the practice yard."-Lucca

"Does that mean...?"-Tolton

"Yes Tolton, I will attack you while Savia heals you. Better do your best."-Lucca

"Unng... Yes Master..."-Tolton

With that, four days passed with Lucca and this teammates working on their teamwork. Five teams were picked by the school for the Combat Festival leaving the last two teams to be picked on the last two days of the school tournament. Now it was Lucca and his teams turn to fight for their spot for the Combat Festival. Lucca stood with his team at the center of the arena where the teams were announced to the audience. There was a total of eight teams. The order of the teams was determined on the rank each student of each team was in the school ranking. Lucca and his teams first opponent was team 'Three Horn'. This team was made of three man who used earth magic and a spear to keep the other teams at bay. Savia stood in the back as Tolton guarded her. Lucca took out his sword for the very first time, this made the audience and the opposing team shudder to the amazing aura that it gave off. Taking his giant sword, Lucca took a stance that others never seen before.

"Lucca."-Savia

"Yes Savia?"-Lucca

"Don't worry about us and go hunt."-Savia

"On it."-Lucca

Savia and Tolton stood back away from Lucca as Lucca gave a grin. Finally, He could use his physical combat skills. He was ready to hunt.
