Mistakes are not intentional, please tell me if you found one. and please drop a review or a power stone xD

=============================================

"R-Ruby, what?" Albert said in shock, everyone looks at him, "you know each other?" Asked Kuro, Albert walked beside Ruby "This is my sister, Ruby, The Dragon Princess" everyone was shocked, they then stared at Albert then turned to Ruby, she clearly looks like a human! Albert knew what those gazes meant so he started explaining, "We dragons can transform into a human, the only difference between me and her is that she was much better in using transformation magic so she looks like a normal human."

Everyone gained some understanding then they stared at Albert pitying him, a vein popped in Albert's head, he just snorted, he knew he was bad at magic, "Then when we saved you last night was practically no needed?" Seven spoke, everyone then realized what that meant, did they just tried to sacrifice for a dragon? a being who was feared by many? Seven even got injured in that fight.

"Actually, Yes, but I am still thankfull for helping me that time"Ruby said then she bowed, Albert who was beside her had a shock on his face, while the others was also shock, except for Seven though he thought it was appropriate for her to thank them, but the others thought was 'The Dragon Princess just bowed to us!' while on Albert was screaming on his head like he had seen a ghost.

"Okay, Thats Enough, The practice is gonna start, Practice spiking now!" Kiraly stopped them and started to his spartan mode, everyone then went to start their practice, Ren was the setter while the others would spike as for Kuro, he was stretching, he was the libero so it was useless for him to practice, Kiraly then turned his head to Ruby who had her eyes fixed on Seven, it was like she was staring on her prey, ready to pounce anytime, Kiraly shivered and averted his gaze, this time Seven was in big trouble.

After spike, they practiced receive and the Kiraly spiked the ball around the court while the players would chase and receive the ball, even though Kiraly was old, his spike was still powerful but he felt exhausted for a while, then he remembered Ruby was here, and she was from the dragon race, her power was also above average, so he let her try, the players thought this would be easy except for Albert who was shivering by the side, at the same time it was Ren's turn to do the practice, he took his stance in the middle, Ruby stood on a high platform, just a little above the net then she raised the ball with her left hand then spiked it with her right hand.

Ren who was ready felt a strong gust of wind and something passed by him, he turned his head around and saw the ball just hit the ground and was already bouncing up, everyone was surprised and the most happy of all was of course, Kiraly, her spike was faster than the bullet! he thought, "Again!" he shouted at Ren.

Ren nodded and this time, stared at Ruby who was now raising another ball, she then spiked it, Ren used his fast eyes, but before he could see what happened the ball was in front of him, "Bang!" a clean hit on his face, then the other members "oooh'd" in unison, they felt that pain, Kiraly then commanded Atlas to take Ren away, the next on the line was Albert, reluclance was in his eyes, he knew well how strong was his sister, she was much stronger than, him.

Albert looked at her sister hinting her to take it easy, Ruby noticed the gaze and smiled at him, Albert also smiled, a little while later, Atlas dragged Albert away from the court, and his condition is much worse than Ren, next in line was Kuro, the team libero, Kuro prepared himself, the speed of her spike was about 105 mph or 169 km/h, just then Ruby raised the ball and spiked it, Kuro didn't see the ball, it was really fast! but as a libero he followed his instincts, he dived at the right and extended his arms.

"Boom"

Everyone had their mouths wide open, Kuro missed! it was a little bit low, but the ball almost hit his arm, Kuro punched the ground in frustration, he then stood up and yelled "AGAIN!", Kuro then stood back into the middle and his eyes carefully looked at the ball, everyone felt a little pressure, it was like Kuro was on a hunt, looking carefully at his prey.

...

[Flashback happens XD]

Kuro was watching the T.V, his eyes glowed, in the sport PowerVolleyball heights matter, but right now he could see a small, very small player, playing with this giant players, he was not a spiker nor the setter, he was there at the back, he was isolated in the middle, Kuro was surprised, "Is the team dumb? leaving one small man in the middle?" he thought, just then the enemy team spiked the ball in great speed, it was in a open place, no one was there, he looked at the other team mates of the small player, they didn't help him, they took positions like they were going to attack, Kuro thought they were going nuts, but just then the small player appeared, like a swimmer he dived, extending his hands, the ball landed on his arms, the ball flew high, and it went just above the setter, the setter tossed the ball in the air where one of the spikers was waiting, the spiker spiked the ball and they scored.

Kuro's mind was blown, "Wow!" he thought, its not that the team was dumb or they didn't care, it was because they trust the small man in the middle, Kuro smiled and can't help but exclaim "So cool! I want to be like that!".

"Yes, I want to be like that" he thought.

[Flashback ends]

Kuro went back to reality, just then Ruby spiked the ball, This time, Kuro can clearly see the ball, it was fast but in just a moment, everyone saw a shadow, it was very fast and then Kuro appeared in front of the ball, he smoothly received the ball, Kuro wiped his sweat and smile, he raised his right hand and clenched it, "I will be like that!" he thought
