Everyone was sitting in the cafeteria. When Hikari came into the cafeteria she was surrounded by a lot of kids. The whole school knew that Princess Hikari came into their school so they surrounded her and were offering her lunch. Hikari looked around the cafeteria and her eyes fell at the corner where Hiroshi was sitting alone unaffected by his surrounding. He sat on the empty table where no one was sitting but he was not eating lunch like others. Suddenly, Miha grabbed Hikari’s hand and Hikari didn’t know what Miha was trying to do. Miha tried to make her way from the crowd of kids that were surrounding her and Hikari. She was a strong girl so she easily made her way into the crowd and get out of it. She was grabbing Hikari’s hand and they both were walking towards Hiroshi’s table. Miha stopped in front of Hiroshi’s table and said while blushing a little 

“It seems like you forgot your lunch box. I can share my lunch with you” 

Hikari was standing there like a stone and she just don’t know what to say or do, so she stood there quietly.

The cafeteria became quiet. Hiroshi glanced at both of them and Hikari felt a little nervous, she didn't know why Miha brought her along. 

“I am not hungry,” Hiroshi said.

Then he got up, turned, and left the cafeteria.

The noise in the cafeteria started rising again.​

“Sigh, he became like this after the death of his mother.” A student passed by Hikari and Miha suddenly said. She was talking to herself and wasn’t loud enough but she was close to them so Hikari heard her clearly.

Hikari was dumbfounded when she heard this. 

“What is she saying? Is his mother dead? What happened?” Hikari asked Miha in a low voice.

“Yes, his mother died one month ago, and after that incident, he just come to the cafeteria sit in the corner all alone. There were a few girls who told me that they offered him lunch before but he refused and said ‘I am not hungry' but I wanted to try too so today I offered him and got the same answer.”

After hearing all of this Hikari was suddenly reminded of her mother and she felt pain in her heart. She knew the loss of a parent is so devastating because she lost her mother. ​

Hikari then said,

“I want him to be my friend I will offer him lunch tomorrow and I will try to get him out of this trauma.”​

When Miha heard this she smiled and then said,

 “Yes, we should try this maybe he will come back to his normal self by making friends".

 

The night was cold and the stars were shining brightly in the sky. She was lying on her warm and cozy bed thinking about everything that happened to her in school today. She was thinking about her mother and then about Hiroshi. She was thinking about how to make him her friend. She was deep in thought when someone opened the door of her room. Then she heard the sound of footsteps. She raised her head to look and saw her father. ​

“Yu‘er is not asleep yet. On normal days you are always sleeping at this time so why are you awake today?” His father said this while slightly patting her head.​

Hikari held her father's hand and said with a soft voice 

“I am thinking about mother, and I was trying to sleep but I can’t”, when his father heard this he became speechless he did not know what to say. He knows how hard it is for his child to live without the love of her mother.

Hikari continued and said, 

“Father do you know there is a kid in our class who lost his mother too I want him to be my friend but I don’t know if he will accept my friendship because he doesn't like to talk”. 

His father then dotingly said, 

“Who can reject my daughter's friendship, who is so kind and beautiful. Now, you should go to sleep and stop thinking about anything. Sleep early because you have school tomorrow.” 

Hikari nodded and then closed her eyes. His father then kissed her on the forehead and then left her room.

 

It was a nice sunny day and a light breeze was blowing. Hikari was going to school in a carriage. She was feeling nervous in her heart. 

Will he talk to me? Will I be able to make him my friend?

Hikari was thinking all this and she was nervous. Today she was wearing her hair in a long braid and she was donning a white frock. After a few moments, the carriage arrived near the school. She get out of the carriage and then she saw that the school was closed. A guard was standing outside the school. The guard was an old man with a beard. She came towards the guard and then said politely, 

“Umm, excuse me uncle why is the school closed today?” The guard replied, ​

“There are only 9 days left for the tournament and the students have completed their school training and now they were given a few days off before the tournament so they can prepare themselves for the final test. Didn't your class-fellows or your class teacher tell you yesterday?” 

Hikari after hearing this recalled that her class teacher said this yesterday, but her mind was so occupied with the thought of making Hiroshi her friend that she forgot all about this, 

“No no it was all my fault that I forgot about this. Thank you Uncle for informing me”

She then turned around and started to walk towards her carriage.

Sigh, How could this happen to me? I only went to school for one day and now it is closed. Father sent me here to test my abilities, I should keep my focus on the tournament. We will meet during the tournament or should I wait and talk to him after the tournament. Yes, that is the better option. I will talk to him after the tournament then. 

She then got into the carriage and went home.​

 

Days were passing by and all students were preparing themselves for the tournament. Hikari was preparing herself by trying to control light elements meanwhile Hiroshi just locked himself up in his room. The tournament was nearing and he just plays zither all day long. ​

 

The room was pitch black. It was nighttime and the wind was fierce outside, the windows of his room were opened, a beautiful sound of the zither was coming from the open windows. A kid was sitting and his slender fingers were moving on the strands of the zither. Suddenly, the song that he was playing became louder and more beautiful. Anyone who could hear it would have been hypnotized by it. It was the song for controlling someone's mind. The one playing it could control a person’s mind who is just as strong as him or someone weaker than him. After finishing the song, the moving fingers stopped.

“I have succeeded.” He said and a slight smirk was hanging from his face. ​

 

After a few days, the day of the tournament has finally arrived. It was a day when the sun was burning bright and the day with scorching heat. Everyone was at school. The teacher and students were all gathered on the ground where the students have to compete. The teacher was saying,

“Total 3 matches will be held for each student. In the first two matches, you will have a solo match. In the third match, a team will be formed. The one who will win these three matches will graduate. Now, I will announce the teams.” 

The teacher was telling the students about the teams for the third match and the opposing team to whom they have to compete, the teacher then announced Hiroshi's team,

“Hikari and Yuki will form a team, Hiroshi and Haruto will form a team and those two teams will compete against each other”

When Hikari heard this she became a little nervous. The teacher then continued telling all the students about their teams and their opponent teams. After 20 minutes the teacher was finished and then he said, 

“All of you have ten minutes before the matches will start” Hiroshi’s first match was with a girl named Li Hua and it was the 10th match. After Yuki, Li Hua is the strongest one, and because Hiroshi is very powerful in the school he has to compete against the top powerful opponents. Hikari's first match was with Wei Wei and it was the 7th match. ​

The matches started after 10 minutes and after another 30 minutes, Hikari's match came. The students were eager to see Princess Hikari’s light elements. ​

 

“Princess Hikari I am Wei Wei and I am on 9th level. I am from the double edge sword clan" Wei Wei introduced herself and bowed towards Hikari. Wei Wei was a girl with black hair that was held in a ponytail. Her eyes were blue and she was wearing a blue dress the same color as her eyes. She was a very pretty little girl. ​

“Hello I am Hikari Murito. I am at the 9th level of True Qi Realm”, Hikari said softly while bowing her head towards her opponent. Hikari as usual was wearing a white frock. Her purple eyes were shining, her face looks fairer under the brightly lit sky and her hair was falling on the back. ​

She really looked like a princess. Her manners, her beauty all of these are of royals, Wei Wei thought.

The match started. Wei Wei then unsheathed her sword and said, “Princess I will fight with all that I have” 

Hikari said nothing.​

She then lightly touch her sword with the tip of her two fingers. 

Then her sword looked like it was dipped in the scorching lava. 

“Fire elements made my sword invulnerable,” Wei Wei said “I call this a majestic fiery sword skill.” ​

Anyone could imagine what will happen to that person who would be touched by this sword. 

“This is the ability of Double edge sword clan. They just don’t have excellent sword skills they can also use other elements on their sword which can make it more powerful", 

After saying this Wei Wei struck her sword towards Hikari and 

was just way too close to her that the opposing person will be able to feel a burning sensation in her body when she said, 

“You lost.” and then she looked at the place where she was about to strike and found that no one was there. ​

Wait. What happened? My sword was so close and she was about to lose. Wei Wei was thinking this when she saw Hikari standing five steps away from her. 

“What? How did she get there?” The eyes of all the students were about to pop out when they saw this scene except Hiroshi. He was the only one who was calmly watching all of this. Even the teacher was amazed. Everyone didn't know what happened, they just saw a purple blur. ​

“Princess, what is this I am sure my sword was about to touch you then how did you get there? Your light elements have a teleportation skill?” Wei Wei then asked. 

“Yes, I can teleport myself up to 5 meters away from my opponent. It is one of the abilities of my light elements and I mastered it. I will be able to teleport to greater distance by using light elements when I become stronger but now this is my limit”, Hikari said. ​

“I cannot use fire element for now on my sword because it’s my limit, so I have to fight with my sword skills. I will fight to the end”, Wei Wei said in a determined voice.​

For now, I can only use teleportation skills one time because that’s my limit. I am still practicing 'that' skill but I need to test my abilities. When Hikari was thinking this she was attacked by Wei Wei again. ​

“This match is getting interesting", Yuki said from the crowd of students. ​

Oh no, I am not prepared yet. She put her two hands right in front of her like a shield when Wei Wei was closed to Hikari and her sharp sword edge was about to cut her arm then some light was shone.

Wei Wei was shocked and then was pushed back by several steps. 

In front of her was a purple light shield that was protecting Hikari. 

I succeeded in making this shield, Hikari smiled lightly while thinking about this. ​

Wei Wei due to the clashing of her sword with the light elements of the shield was pushed back about 10 steps away from Hikari. ​

Wei Wei tried to stand up from the ground but her body felt like it was electrified just now. 

“Hikari won this match.” The teacher's voice reverberated into the ground.

The students started clapping hardly. “That shield was awesome.” ​

“Way to go Princess Hikari.” The students started complimenting her. ​

Hikari smiled slightly and then move towards Wei Wei. Wei Wei who was still on the ground. She was trying to get up. When Hikari came close she said, “I lost.” Wei Wei smiled and then said, “You are strong.” 

Hikari then helped her to stand and while helping she said, 

“I didn’t mean to hurt you. I was still practicing that technique and didn’t master it yet. I didn’t know what to do because I can use teleportation skill only one time in a battle that’s my limit. But when you suddenly came towards me I instantly tried to control light elements to make a shield but who would have thought that at the brink of the battle I will succeed it. If I haven’t made a shield you would have a win. You are strong too", Hikari was saying softly.​

Wei Wei just smiled a little and then said, “Let’s be friends.” Hikari looked at her for a moment and then said while smiling softly “Sure.” ​

Hikari was holding Wei Wei so she could stand properly. “Next time you will be on the losing side. You should be prepared, my friend.”, Wei Wei said with a smiling face and determination in her eyes.​

"We will see it next time",

Hikari just nodded her head while smiling ​

Then Wei Wei was taken to the infirmary to get treated. ​
