Ajax POV.
"Maybe... Just maybe shattering our Auras before the tournament wasn't the best idea..." I weakly say lying on the floor.
Hana leans over me with a soft smile.
"Hm... Maybe it wasn't," she then offers me a hand and I take it. "Good thing I am a healer and you'll be ready if you're chosen."
I take her hand and allow myself to be helped up with a pained grunt. "Yeah, hopefully."
Looking over to the other side of the court I see that Titus is poking Zack's unconscious body on the floor.
"I'd like to think you're ready for whatever comes to you since you managed to beat all of us."
"You think so?"
"Of course! You managed to beat three of us. Even though your Aura got shattered, you took on three students!"
"I suppose that's right. What time is it anyway?"
She takes out her scroll and turns it on. "It's quarter to eight."
"One hour before the matches resume then." I take a deep breath. "Do you think you can heal me by then?"
"I don't know if I'm being honest..." She frowns followed by her gaze falling to the floor.
"It's okay," I place a hand on her shoulder. "I don't need all of it."
I winked at her with a confident smile. A smile also crept on her face.
"G!"
I pivot around to notice Zack had regained consciousness and was currently strolling toward us.
"How are you doing?" I ask him.
He energetically smiles. "Doing swell! How 'bout you?"
"Same here. Nice going by the way."
I extend my hand for him to shake it.
"You too, man!" He takes and shakes it. "How about we call ourselves equal?"
I dramatically faked being in thought.
"Hmm. How about...? No." I responded coldly.
Zack seemed visibly hurt.
"You need to be mindful that Geist took on the three of us." Titus intervened. "You did give him a great fight."
"Yeah... I guess you're right." Zack's frown quickly turned into a smile. "Not everyone gets to shatter G's Aura."
"Yeah yeah, rub it in will you?" I say, making my team laugh. I can only smirk at the sight of my friends having a good time.
The moment was interrupted as I get a message on my Scroll. I take it out and look at the notifications. I received a message from Weiss.
Oh shit, I wonder what is Yang's fate now.
Maybe Weiss could tell you.
"Guys, go take a shower, you smell," I tease, earning a punch from Hana to my right arm. "Heh. But really, go on ahead if you guys want to."
Right after a collective nod, they started walking back to the dorms.
I then unlock my Scroll and open the message:
W: "Where are you?"
G: "Just got my Aura shattered wbu"
W: "WHAT?!"
