"Oh gosh, did you hear that Lilith." Katelyn spoke alarmed, "I did..." I said solemnly, "Oh no! Does this mean we're gonna die!?" Katelyn whisper yelled at me.

I chuckled at her frantic antics as I replied, "Did you forget that I am trained to deal with this kind of situation?" "No…? Am I supposed to?" She said in a panicky voice.

"Oh... I guess I forgot to tell you... But I've been taking up swordsmanship and magic classes to protect myself." I explained, laughing at her gobsmacked expression.

"What was that sound?! …Ah I see... So there's someone in the carriage!" I heard the rough voice sound out, "...What does that mean boss?" A guy with a ridiculously high squeaky voice asked.

"Well we're obviously gonna hold them hostage and auction them off!" The boss snapped, "No! You can't go in there!" I heard our coachmen yell, with that I motioned for Katelyn to stay with me at all times as I kicked the carriage door open.

Successfully injuring five people, since one of them were about to open the door but got smacked on the face as it swung open and the door came off and slammed four people on the ground.

They groaned and exclaimed in surprise as they quickly pushed the door off of them. "Aww man, I should have slammed the door open harder." I said with a 'sad' smile.

"Don't be so arrogant brat!" The person said in a hostile tone, my playful look turned sharp as I stared at them smirking, "You pick the wrong carriage to rob." The person ignored me and said to his comrades "Look at this beauties, dibs on the one with the sharp tongue." He licked his lips as he scanned my body with lustfully.

I dropped my smirk as I said out loud with a straight face, "Blaze." "What did you just say you slut? I couldn't hear what you were trying to say." The man roared out as everyone laughed, Understood! I felt Blaze's fire roaring with anger as I watched the fire surround all of them.

"Ohohoho~" I laughed in a villain-like voice, "The goddess's judgements never fails." I smirked, laughing at their charred corpses, "Hmm... Now that, that was done… Let's continue on with our journey." I said audible enough for Katelyn and the coachman to hear.

"...What just... Happened?" "The goddesses judgement?" I said unsurely about what she meant. "... I meant, was that fire... your making?" "Maybe it is... Maybe it isn't." I replied back with a mysterious voice, which made her pout as she pounded me lightly on my arm repeatedly, "You meanie! Tell me the truth!"

"*Sigh* Well it's hard to explain, I'm indirectly involved with that. I didn't make that fire but-" "Blaze did?" Katelyn interrupted me and continued. "Yeah, I thought you forgot about him."

"How could I? His name is quite easy to remember and after all, I remember you mentioning his name to me once." Katelyn shrugged, "Well that explains it for me."

After that crazy accident, Katelyn and I safely went back to our homes but the unpleasant thing is when I see or hear the civilian staring at me sympathetically and some haters sent me a mocking gaze, murmuring about my level.

Behind closed doors I rolled my eyes at them, but seeing them face to face I gave them a sad smile and pretended to look down sulkily which made them pity me even further.

I looked our front door as I sighed, opening the door as sneakily as I can, *Creak* I flinched at the noise made as it filled the air, "OH MY POOR BABY!!" I heard my mother screeched as I sighed inwardly.

"IT DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT YOUR LEVELS' SWEETHEART!" My dad screamed hugging the air out of me, "Um... I have a confession to make..." I said softly.

"Yes what is it? If you want anything we'll give it to you!" My father exclaimed, as I deadpanned, they're spoiling me too much. "That wasn't my actual level, I was just concealing it from the public's eye "

"Oh? Than what is your level sweety?" My mom asked me softly, "Well... Do you guys have a crystal ball?" I ask, "We don't but the headmaster of the school has a few extras, we can ask for it." My father replied.

• • •

"Okay place your hand on the crystal ball." The headmaster said, we couldn't bring the crystal ball into our homes because we can only do it at the school. They didn't want us stealing or selling it, "Okay... But don't be shocked." I said gently placing my hand on the ball.

While waiting for the crystal power to state my level I looked arpund the room awkwardly "... Sorry child but there isn't any-" The headmaster try to say

*Crack*

I looked at the crystal ball as I heard a loud crack.

*PING*

The crystal ball cracked and broke into pieces. "...What level are you! The crystal ball even broke!" "Um… No comment." I replied plainly, "Your highnesses from the kingdom of Nyxeria please allow your daughter to study here. I believe it can help her with her growth." The headmaster went down on his knees and pleaded.

"And why should I?" My father replied with a straight face, "Please, I'm begging you. You're daughter will have the best treatment in this school and enjoy it's benefits." He explained quickly, "Well…" My father trailed of looking at me.

The headmaster caught his look as he directed his pleading to me, "I mean… Why not. But on one condition…" I say, "What is your condition?" The headmaster asked.

"I want to bring my guard with me to study alongside me." I answered, "Alright, what is his name, age and appearance." The headmaster asked with sparkly eyes. "Hmm… It might be better to just show you."

Blaze can you come out for a while?  Of course hime. I hear him answer as I held out my hand, pointing at the spot right beside me for him to appear. Fire combusted at the spot as his small figure appeared, the headmaster and my parents just stared at the both of ua shocked.

"W-what is this?" My parents asked, "Um… God's messanger?" I said unsurely, "Well technically I am." I heard Blaze answer my question as they gasped.

They were about to kneel in respect when Blaze shook his head, indicating that he didn't need it. "I'm hime's knight." He said simply, "O-of course… If you may be kind to answer me, what is your name and age…" The headmaster ask shakily.

"My name is Blaze and I'm the same age as hime." He replied stoically, "O-okay, I have already registered you both in as a student." He stuttered, "Let's go home~" I said to my parents happily.

In the carriage ride when Blaze has disappeared…

"Sweetie, how do you know him?" "Um… …We just connected spiritually." I replied, "Ah… Okay we won't ask any further." My mom said after hearing my reluctance to answer them. "Besides, god's messanger probably doesn't want to tell us." This time my dad said as he sighed.

"Uh yeah…" I feel bad for lying but I really don't know how we can talk to each other.  I'm kind of more like your pet…  Really?  Yup… God created me to guide you.  Hmm… Alright.
