“Are you awake yet Saber boy?” Maria asked, as the boy slowly awoke from his slumber.
“Aw man…my face hurts. What happened?”
“Well I went a little overboard and knocked you unconscious. The match was getting fun and I didn't hold anything back on the last attack.”
“Yea… I can still feel it. By the way, where's everyone at?” Saber asked maria, as he looked around the room.
“They all went to class, but I decided to stay for the day. It's the least I can do for going overboard.”
“You didn't have to. Things like that tend to happen in a fight whether it is a sparring match or not. Hey! Isn't this the same room that I have been staying for days?”
“Yea it is. If you continue coming back here, they might decide to make this your official dorm room.” Maria said as she giggled at her comment.
“Ha, real funny.” Saber got up from his bed and went to wash his face on the sink.
Maria looked at the Black and white highlights' boy from her seat and began to ponder what Saber made upset back in the arena. Saber shut the sink off and looked at the mirror in front of him.
I need to get stronger. If I can't beat maria, how good will I fair against the person responsible for the attack? Not only that, but I am worried about Professor nxy''s video recording. Could that really be me? Well, whatever it is, it responded to my rage and anger of the incident. If I can somehow control that power, I will be able to get my revenge and take out the person or persons responsible for this. Saber thought.
“Hey, Saber” maria asked, as she stood up from her seat and walked towards Saber.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
“Yea?”
“I want to ask you why you got so upset before the sparring match?”
“I wasn't upset. Did I seem upset?”
“Yeah you did. When I asked you where your weapon was.”
“Oh… it's nothing. I guess I got a little annoyed because you kept asking. Saber said, scratching the back of head.
Maria walked closer to the White Knight and scowled at him.
“That's not true. You always scratch the back of your head when you lie to someone.” Maria said getting closer to Saber.
“That's not true at all! You can't even prove that.” Saber said, as he stopped himself halfway from scratching his head again.
“THERE YOU SEE!” Maria yelled.
“OKAY FINE! I did lie but I don't feel like telling you.”
Maria grabbed the boy by the shoulders and pulled him closer to her.
“Saber… we are friends right? Why can't you tell me?” Maria said. Their faces almost a foot away from each other.
Saber's face slowly turned red and he began to sweat.
“OKAY! Okay… I'll tell you if you let me go.” Saber tried his best to regain his composure.
Maria grinned at what he said and didn't let go at all. Instead, she pulled him a bit closer.
“Does this make you uncomfortable?” Maria asked, grinning.
“No… uh… not at all!”
“How about you tell me why you were lying, then I will let you go.”
“I… I didn't want to tell you or anyone because… I had left it at a forest somewhat far from here.
“Was that it?” Maria asked as she looked closely to see if Saber would do any gesture that would make it seem he was about to scratch his head again.
“It seems you are telling the truth Saber boy. Now… was that so hard?”
“Um…no.” Saber said, trying to scratch the back of his head but was still being held by Maria.
Maria let the Knight go and proceeded to exit the room.
“Oh, by the way, you do see me as a friend right?”
Saber took a deep breath simply turned her back to her.
Maria giggled and left to her room. Now Saber was alone in the room trying to decide what to do about his Sword and shield.
Well there is no point in staying here, I need to go get my weapons back, but I would need to ask someone for permission to leave the school. I better ask Professor nxy since he already knows about me being in the forest. I also have a few questions about me being the Black Knight Someone came with a big smile and asked him if he want.to go to Ikebukuro Academy Town Cafe Saber said yes they made thei rway.
