"Okay lead the way" I said. She lead me through the rich house until we arrived at the place with the wide open space and wood floor.

"What kind of weapon do you use?" she said to me "I use kunai" She brought me some kunai "Here you go." she said to me.

She was carrying a samurai sword that was perfect for her size. We walked to the middle of the wooden floor. "Lets spar" she said to me.

"Come at me" she said. With that I stepped in and stabbed with my kunai She deflected my kunai. I slashed with the other arm. She blocked that as well.With a slash her sword stopped right beside my neck. She had defeated me in three moves.

"Lets go another round" I said. "Okay" she said. I lunged and she sidestepped and brought the sword up to my throat. "This is even competition," she said to me. "How are you so good" I asked her. Ive been training with the sword since I was ten. "Your totally going to win the island tournament. "I think so too she said to me. "Lets go one more round."

I set of a sunspot in her face and then tried to slash her. She stepped away from it cleared her eyes then slashed at me faster than I could react. Her sword stopped right at my chest. "You were going easy on me" I said.

"Yes I was you're to slow. Was that sun part of your abilities or is it an ability ring." "Its part of my abilities," I said

"Thats so amazing have you ever used it in actual combat?" While giving her back her kunai I said "No I haven't "

"It would be super dangerous if you tried to set one off inside someone." She said to me.

I had got beaten badly and did want to show weakness to her after all I had used my ability and she didn't go invisible. It was a total defeat.With that I made an excuse and went home and just lay in the sun for an hour. Eventually, I got up and went to the library and finished memorizing the map. I went home and went to bed. The next day when I woke up clara was standing there in a black black dress that must have been custom made and expensive because it showed her curves off perfectly.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

"Are you ready to go eat?" With a roll and sit up in bed I said "Yes I'm ready." With that I sat up and got out of bed. "Do you want to have coffee before we go" I asked

"No its fine lets just go." With that she grabbed my hand and started pulling. It was the first time she had grabbed my hand inside. She pulled me out of the house and to the front gate. And then she went invisible. "Why did you go invisible? I asked her.

"For fun" she said to me. We eventually arrived at her courtyard again by now the sentries recognized me and let me in.

We made our way to our special table and sat down to eat. "This is the last day do you have anything to tell me?" I thought about it and then said "thank you so much for everything you've done for me" I picked up my fork and started to eat my fish. After I was done clara was still eating and I decided to tell her that I was leaving tomorrow. "Clara tomorrow I will be returning to the outpost." She froze up for a second and then responded with "I wish you luck." I looked at her but she wouldn't make eye contact. We need to do something fun before I go lets do something today.

"Okay I want to go clothe shopping today" Clara said. "Okay then lets do that." I said to her.

With that we pushed in our chairs and walked out of the courtyard. Our hands touched and we both reached out at the same time and held each others hands. When we got to the market we made our way to a clothing shop. "Do you like this one?" she said while holding up a blue dress.

It looked alright but it wasn't really her style. I said "No" "I like how you dress normally lets get some dresses like that"

Dresses the displayed her body in the best possible way. "I found a white one that suited her style and asked if she wanted it. she said yes so I bought it for her. She also picked out a green dress that she liked. It was fun to spend time with her like this. We stopped by a restaurant and just ordered dessert.

"This is so fun" she said to me see this is why you should stay. "Dont tempt me I might actually stay."

"Then do it" she said to me. Im afraid my use is elsewhere I'm good at making things"

Then make me a ability ring when you get back to the outpost and ship it with strong guards to make sure it gets here.

"Okay ill do that for you." Ive got to tell my dad he will be so happy your going to do that for me."

I started eating my desert while clara brushed the hair out of her eyes she was truly beautiful I thought to myself. Are you allowed to use whatever you want in this tournament.

"Yes, it isn't happening for three months ill still be sixteen. "So will I" I said to her.

She finished eating her desert and asked "is there anything I can say to make you stay?" I was happy she wanted me to stay that badly. No I have to go ill be back to watch you compete in the tournament and that's a promise. With that we walked back to her courtyard and dropped her off she gave me a kiss on the cheek goodbye.
