Chapter 23

I better get going or I'll be late. I take one more look around my room to make sure I haven't left anything and head to the training room. After our last fight, we had to reinforce the room. I head towards the training room and start thinking about things to come. We are going to Kuoh town today, mum and dad bought a load of plots and built a mansion for us to live in.

As I'm walking I see little Lilith running towards me. "Are you really leaving today, big sister Scarlet?" She asked with a sad expression on her face. "Yes Lilith but we'll be back on holidays, and I'll bring you back something to play with." I said giving the cute little girl a hug. It seems me being here has changed a lot, like Sirzechs having a girl instead of a boy.

I keep hold of Lilith and we continue on to the training room. I look at Lilith thinking that if not for the crimson hair, you would think it was Grayfia, just a smaller version. I start thinking I still haven't managed to have a spar with Serafall yet, she always says she's busy but I don't buy it. We get to the training room and I open the door.

Vali is there waiting. "Yo Vali we have an extra spectator." I say lifting Lilith a little. "That's fine, but don't go to hard on me, I nearly died last time." He said with a grim expression. "Don't be so mellow dramatic, I was very careful in not hitting any major organs." I said remembering that time with a smile. "Freaking sadist, I had nightmares because of you." He said with a sobering tone. Looking at his face I can tell he is reliving it. "As I said stop being mellow dramatic, plus you still come back to fight more, masochist." I said with a smile, I should ask Sirzechs to spar, that might be fun.

"Alright this time, let's see how long you can divide my power of destruction for." I say as I put down Lilith and she is at a safe distance. I start to weave my power of destruction with my aura. "Oh I forgot to mention that if it's not done within an hour, I'm going to throw it at you." I said with the sweetest smile I could muster. Vali looks visibly shaken. An hour later, all that was left was a small ball, so i flicked it at his leg. It went straight through his scale mail and though his leg.

He looked like he was in pain. "Use the healing magic I taught you." I shout. He just looked at me. "Stop looking at me, it's going to get worse if you don't heal it." I said as he looked shocked and started casting. It took him ten minutes to finish healing. "I think we need to train how fast you heal." I said looking at the other leg, I made a small ball and flicked it at Vali's other leg. This went on for about three hours and only stopped because Kara came to get me. "That's a shame I was having fun, well you know what to work on while I'm away." I said and waved goodbye.

"You know, you are going to make that kid scared of women if you keep that up." Kara said looking at him with a pitying expression. "Are you afraid that I'll make him scared of women or scared of you?" I ask while laughing. Kara seems to have a soft spot for Vali, they may end up together you never know. Kara starts muttering. "What are you talking about? I just think your being hash and I want to see him happy..." She trails off.

"So is everyone ready?" I ask trying to get Kara out of her mutterings. "Oh eh yes yes we were just waiting on you." She said with a noticeable blush on her face. "Ok let's not keep them waiting." I said as I go to where Lilith has fallen asleep, I pick her up and carry her out. We make it to the gathering point and I see Grayfia. "Hey Grayfia, Lilith come to watch me fight Vali and fell asleep." I said giving Lilith a kiss on the forehead and passing her to Grayfia.

I give mum and dad a hug, as they send us off. We use a teleportation circle straight to the house.
