Fairy Tail Endless

Chapter 9

Clock alarms...

Yawns.

My head feels so heavy and so are my eyes. My body is telling me to go back to sleep but my mind is saying the contrary.

"I'm... Going... Back...to...sl--"

"Hey!"

The sound of the door opened full force waked the crap out of me.

"Breakfast is ready." Rhyl half shouted, half whispered and walked away.

Crap! I'm supposed to cook breakfast.

I dashed out of my room in just a measly second and was surprised to see everyone on their seats with food served on the table.

"How-" I trailed off but I was cut off.

"If you don't wake up early, everyone will end up getting late." Reishin said, stuffing his mouth with food.

"He's just a little shy to say what he really feels but he voluntarily did your task for you. Right Reishi?" Rei then pivot his body and clings to Reishin and obviously, Reishin got annoyed.

"Shuddap!" He yelled.

I let out a small laugh as I take my seat. Living with them isn't that bad, after all.

Everybody was ready for class. When the gates of our dorm were about to open, Ryou said something like ,"Stay in the middle of us." I was curious about his instruction but I still didn't listen.

"Aahhh!!!! My Princes!!!" The squeals of the girls outside the gate makes my ear bleed so I covered them using both my hands. Suddenly, I got pushed by someone, and because I didn't stay at the middle, I fell to the ground. Or so I thought.

I waited for the impact but it didn't come. When my eyes opened, I saw ocean blue eyes, staring at me. I became curious when the surroundings became silent so I looked around and saw the Princes facing my direction. I once again took a glance at the guy who supported my back. "S-s-sorry," I mumbled and stepped a couple of steps backwards.

"You really disappoint me, Princes. Is this how you treat a girl? Your own Princess?" The hero guy said.

I wanted to yell, 'if only you knew that I'm their maid, not their princess.'

"It's none of your business." Ryou suddenly took his stand in front of me, pulling me behind his back as if he's protecting me from something.

"Whatever." The guy said and walked away, only did I notice he also had some other people following him.

"Are they a group?" I suddenly ask.

"The Axis." Ryou mumbled but he didn't say anything else so I didn't mind digging into things I shouldn't dig.

He then turned to me, kneeled down, took my hand and planted a soft kiss on it. I became numb for a second.

"Are you hurt somewhere, my Princess?" He asked gently.

Yikes! Who is this guy? His sudden change of character gives me goosebumps.

We resumed walking towards our classroom. I could hear some girls cheering while some are murmuring. They didn't know that this is the first time I was treated like a Princess. They had no idea of the hardships I have to suffer and yet they get jealous of me. I really wish they'd replace me here and so I could have my normal life back.

The moon class only have five students, including me of course. I could feel the big difference between this class and the regular ones. This includes more strict rules, more advanced lessons and add to the list a very grumpy, however,  handsome teacher. I doubt if my body could keep up with these high standard lessons. I bet I won't last long.

Third period. We proceeded to the training room where we will test ourselves and also our magic powers' endurance and strength.

At the training room...

"Ms Heartfilia," Mr. Grumpy called. I snappily stepped forward.

"Yes?"

"Hit this crystal with all you've got." He instructed. Then, a crystal ball came into sight. I exhaled deeply, gathered all my strength and did what I was told.

After that, a question mark floated inside. I wonder what that meant? I returned back to my line and noticed everyone pinning their gazes at me. Their faces showed that they're...surprised, I guess? Did they underestimate me to the extent that they couldn't believe I could do such simple thing? I strayed my eyes to our teacher, which had the same face.

"Sir, did I do something wrong?"

I simply did what I was told.

"Nothing. Let's proceed. Ryou, next."

He said it was nothing and yet there he is, looking as if he is in deep thought.

It was Ryou's turn. The same with what I did, he first concentrated. Then I felt the wind rushing to his direction, the air became hotter and hotter and after that, flames started to engulfed Ryou's body.

"Don't forget me." A voice echoed in my head. All of the sudden, I felt intensive pain like my head is being split into two.

I let out an agonizing voice and consecutively dropped to the ground. I curled myself.

Before I completely got consumed by darkness, I could hear everyone calling out my name. At least, they're concerned, even just a little.
