Welcome to Fairy Tail!

6.4 - universe

Erza brought out her sword and placed it in front of her.

"You don't say," Crystal was in shock.

"Yes, I say," Erza smiled. "Train and battle with me."

"What?!" Crystal tried to run but Erza got her so she cant escape.

"Let's start," Erza positioned herself. "Don't let your guard down, Crystal. Apply what you've learned."

Crystal took a deep breath and started positioning. She started analyzing and examining and focused on what's happening right now.

The guild members started to feel intense magic power, even Master sensed it too. Erza and Crystal catched the attention of everyone and they started watching them.

Crystal got distracted and gotten nervous as they watched. But just like Erza said, she shouldn't let her guard down, so she faced Erza again and these words repeated in her mind: dearest universe, help me revive m strength and let me win.

"Now!" Erza yelled and the both of them started to run towards each other.

Erza requipped in her Japanese cloth so that she'll be free in moving but she didn't requip her sword because it'll be hard for Crystal.

Erza let a hit but Crystal blocked it and she sitted down on her toes and kicked Erza's feet with one foot. Erza jumped to avoid the kick. Crystal smirked.

"Just like what I predicted," Crystal whispered. She threw her sword and it hit the sword of Erza's and the two of them flew in the mid-air. Crystal quickly jumped to those two swords and grabbed them. Erza was in shock. Crystal already knew that'll happened so she kicked Erza as she landed and Erza got beaten up.

"I ain't done yet!" Crystal exclaimed. She landed on top of Erza (and Erza is lying down on the ground because she landed on it when she got kicked) and quickly threw attacks but Erza immediately requipped two other swords and blocked them. Erza kicked Crystal back and Crystal flew and landed in front of a tree.

Erza ran onto the tree and chopped it with her swords. It was cut in half and the trunk is gonna fell on Crystal. But, Crystal stood and spun with her swords raising up. She closed her eyes (while spinning) and started to whisper, dearest universe, give me strength and courage to win this battle.

The tree fell down on Crystal but she has cut the tree in half with her swords. She jumped over Erza and they battled with swords. But Crystal kicked Erza once again without her noticing it (because she kept her busy with the swords). She jumped over Erza and Crystal landed on top of her. She crossed her arms and placed the swords by the sides of Erza's neck.

She catched her breath and Erza smiled at her. Crystal began to stand up and she helped Erza to stand up too.

"Great job, Crystal," Erza said. "You improved with swords."

Everybody cheered and clapped including Master. Crystal felt happiness and the success. Again, she thanked the universe for it.

"Here," Crystal handed Erza her sword back but Erza refused.

"Keep it," Erza smiled. Crystal hugged Erza and let out her tears of joy. Thank you, she whispered. Erza hugged back.
