The Lost Wielder

Chapter 4

"Alright just stand right here with your Dite out." Harley told her.

Lyra nodded her head as she walked over to where Harley told her to stand. "Restoration," she mumbled and watched as her dite appeared. Harley then went on to connect a few wires, attaching two to her sword and one on her wrist. He then led the wires back to his computer, attaching them in certain sections.

"There now I need you to let a small stream of kei travel through your weapon," he ordered, as he started pressing buttons on the computer.

Lyra just nodded her head. She took a deep breath and then allowed her kei to flow into her weapon, causing a green glow to appear around the sword.

"Is this good?" she asked.

Harley stared at the monitor for a few seconds before replying. "A little more please," He asked.

Lyra nodded closing her eyes. With a deep breath, she increased the amount of kei. Lyra sighed. she could feel the flow increase and pas through her veins. It made the adrenaline kick in as well as now her eyes were wide in excitement, as she remembered what day it was.

Today was the day. It would be her first interstate platoon match. Lyra was excited. This was the day. It would prove that all her training really did pay off. With that thought in mind, she took a deep breath and let it out. Unfortunately, Lyra forgot where she was standing. The thought of the platoon match excited her so much that her kei flow increased more. It was too much because her sword started to brighten. The electricity was seen passing through her into the blade.

"Wah! Too much!" Harley called out.

Lyra blinked out of her thoughts and looked down at her dite. She instantly retracted the kei, lowering its energy level. "Sorry!" Lyra apologized. She concentrated on her dite to make sure the energy stayed stable

"Phew much better," he sighed. He bit his lips, watching the computer screen and then looking down to write down the readings. He kept nodding his head every now and then. Lyra just stood there stood there controlling her kei flow, as it flowed through her sword. She wasn't sure what he was looking at, but knew better than to ask. At the moment they didn't have much time.

Everyday for the past week, Nina had Lyra coming in to train. Lyra wasn't sure if the training was necessary or not, but she assumed it was so that the captain could understand her fighting style better. Unfortunately it was too much for Lyra's poor dite. Harley had warned her to use it carefully, as the dite did not have enough memory to handle her attacks. The dite now started to crack and was in need of repairs. Luckily Harley was working on it fast trying to fix it, but even he wasn't sure if there wasn't enough time.

Of course it had to happen the day of the match. This irritated Lyra, but Nina assured her that it would not be a big problem. She was planning on starting off with Lyra backing up Layfon who would be in the front lines it wasn't that concerning to Nina; however, Lyra still didn't like it. She wanted to be of help in this match, but because of her dite, she would have to stay back and guard it.

Lyra sighed, looking around.

Everyone except for Layfon and Nina were there and ready in their uniforms, which surprised Lyra. She expected that Nina would be on time, in fact early on this day. Especially since she had been nagging at Lyra about getting good rest and being there on time.

"It's probably because of work." Felli had explained in her monotone voice. Lyra nodded. Nina did tell her that the work there was hard. On top of that, discussing the option with Layfon, Lyra discovered that Layfon worked there as well and that both scheduled to work that day. With that being the case, Lyra assumed that the work would have been done quicker, but it seemed that they had been working late and slept in.
