12 - Chapter IV

"Is this your guardian's skill?" The Crystal Fairy asks Luke. "This trap of yours won't work on me! *Crystal Blades!" She stabbed her sword into the ground and lots of blade-like crystals appeared from the ground hitting the illusions of Sakura causing them to disappear. The wall was also broken from that skill but to her surprise, Luke wasn't already there and as she looked back to her master, he is already kneeling on the ground with Sakura's blade placed on his neck.

"One move and game over." Said by Luke who appeared in front of her while cherry blossom petals flew everywhere. "From your previous record, losing here would be the worst isn't it?"

"Wh-What do you mean? H-How did you know about that?!?" Crystal Fairy was surprised what Luke has said.

"You're a strong guardian but right now, you were summoned by a wrong master."

"Tell me, how could I have not won that Holy Book? Is it really my previous master's fault? Are you saying you're the right master for me?"

"I didn't tell you I'm the right master for you but you want to know what a good master is?"

Biglang nag-interrupt si Enrique sa usapan nila. "A-Anong ginagawa mo?!? Bobo! Gumawa ka ng paraan! Iligtas mo ako! Gumamit ka ng final skill mo kung maari! Gamitin mo na lahat ng command spells! By my command spell, use your final skill!"

"Tsk. Then tell me what a good master is! *Finale Skill: Fairy's Touch- Crystallization!" The Crystal Fairy turned crystal and disappeared, appearing in front of Sakura, stabbing her with the sword turning her into crystals in a split of a second. Enrique was freed but now loses already 4 command spells. He was still on the ground shaking and frightened.

"Whoa... Did he used most of those command spells in this game? What will happen in the next game?" Luke said.

"Why still confident? You lost your guardian. You lost the game." Crystal Fairy replied.

"No, he didn't lost me." The Luke who was standing in front of the Crystal Fairy a while ago turned out to be Sakura. "Surprise! This is the ninja way! Oh. By the way, a good master is the one who teaches you and fights with you. Hmm.. like my master behind you."

"Wh-What?"

The Crystal Fairy looked behind seeing her master shouts loudly as he was being electrocuted by a lightning scroll used by Luke who suddenly appeared in front of him. She swayed her sword but Luke parried it with Sakura's knife. Before the game, Arthur stuffed Luke with lots of items to use in battles. There's only 20% remaining on Enrique's HP bar.

Sakura then, with a quick move, rushed towards the Crystal Fairy and hit her with her knife. *"Shadow Strike!" She used it repeatedly depleting the Crystal Fairy's HP.

The Crystal Fairy starts to vanish as she was defeated. "I-It's not my master's fault. It's me, who is weak. Even with my previous master, he depended on me but I kept failing him."

"No you're not." Said Luke. "You're strong. You depleted Sakura's mana by using her illusion skills continuously. This game is all about teamwork. Masters should do their part of battling, not just ordering around."

"So you mean you won because you had a plan?"

"Yep!"

"My, I wish I had an awesome master like you... maybe that'll take some load of my mind while fighting..."

Crystal Fairy vanish completely. With a smile on her face.

"I-I hate this game! I will re-summon a better guardian!" Enrique cursed as he also vanishes as a sign that he lost.

[Z-One]: Man, what a noob, brat player. But good game Nine. You won your first battle.

[Yuna]: It turns out you're the only one left in the game, sir. Congratulations for your victory!

[System]: Game 1 of Round 1 in Rosales, Pangasinan, Philippines is over. The victors are Master Luke Martin and Guardian Corolla Shadow Blades. Congratulations! The schedule of your next game will be v-mailed to you. You can now log-out of the game.

"W-We did it master! We won our first fight and our first game!" Sakura happily said.

"Y-Yeah, you did a good job!" Luke responded proudly to Sakura. She's able to beat a 4-star level guardian without using a single command spell.

[Z-One]: Sa totoo lang, sayang yung guardian. Kung mag-re-re-summon nga siya, pwede ko kunin yung catalyst. Makakatulong siya sa next battles mo.

"S-Seryoso? Pero diba one is to one lang? One master and one guardian?" Asked by Luke with a surprise on his face.

[Z-One]: Sus. Ako pa.
