Bring the World Back

What happened to Raven?

Micah and Fifi return to training, this time facing Sakuya and Pia. They were both extremely dangerous sword-wearing girls. Remembering Sakuya had given Raccoon Leaf alone had made Micah feel goosebumps.

"Well, are you ready? This is actually unfair because it's two against one."

Micah started frowning, then looked at Fifi who looked annoyed, as it was not considered.

"I'm with Fifi, how can you say that I'm alone?"

"The wifi? This faerie is just a Summonning creature. No matter how great he is, it won't count in a Collossum fight."

"Tomorrow!"

Suddenly someone called out his name, making them all turn their heads. Raven looked at him. Oh my God, he misunderstood.

"You are ... Raven Kane?" ask Sakuya in surprise.

Raven suddenly approaches Micah, then slaps Micah instead. Everyone gasped, not expecting that Raven was acting in such a manner. Sakuya and Pia began to look at each other, while Micah was as if sculpting.

"Hey, why did you slap Micah?" ask Sakuya annoyed.

"That's none of your business! Micah, I didn't think that you were a striped nose!"

Micah starts staring at Raven, who is seen crying, then runs away. He did not believe Raven's words at all. Batikai Pond nose? Is Raven actually jealous of her closeness to Sakuya?

Sakuya began to ask, "Are you her boyfriend?"

Micah immediately turned his gaze towards Sakuya. "Just a childhood friend."

"Really?"

"That's not true!"

Someone is back to sound. Micah began to look towards those who were apparently Collete and Rusk. The two of them had come, which seemed to them to be very upset. "Well have you forgotten, as a child you and Raven made a promise in the Flower Fields in the name of heaven and earth as a true match?"

Sakuya was shocked. "Well, are you and Raven married?".

"Huh? It was just a game in childhood."

"Basic stupid! It seems futile to explain it. Come on, Brother Rusk, let's go."

Micah started scratching his head. What is this again? Micah and Fifi's training atmosphere became uncomfortable. Micah begins to feel sad as his friendship with Raven is now broken, and he has no idea what to do.

"What should I do now?"

Meanwhile, Fifi felt neglected because Sakuya and Pia did not consider her whereabouts, and it made her feel sad as well. However, he stays loyal to accompany Micah and help him train his fighting skills.

"Well, we're still going to practice, aren't we?"

Micah nodded his head, then began to pull out the dark sword which this time no longer had its dark aura. Fifi was also ready.

"I don't not understand. But why do you choose Faerie as Summon's creature, when I think fire tigers or the like are better at attacking. I don't mean to insult Summon's creature, but is it because you can only have the ability of Initiator Cover so choose Faerie as Summon who is indeed more ability towards Core?"

Micah started to frown. Come to think of it, an animal like the fire tiger was indeed better at attacking because it could make direct attack contact than Faerie who could only Magic attack. However, Fifi was no ordinary Faerie. He and Fifi had understood each other, even Faerie was obtained not because of Summon's contract seal or the like, but voluntary. The Summon Seal in Micah's hand was also not the Summon Seal binding.

"You should not underestimate Fifi. I hope you guys don't cry once we do a Combo attack."

Pia and Sakuya started looking at each other, then started to get ready. "Combo in reply Combo! Beware of our Combo attack!

Micah and Fifi began to look at each other, then suddenly Micah pulled out his sword of light and was grabbed by Fifi. Then start advancing forward to attack!

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Raven still gets annoyed with Micah. He could not understand why Micah could become so close to Sakuya. She feels as if Micah has fallen in love with Sakuya so begins to forget her.

To be honest, Raven actually liked Micah since childhood, when Micah was still a plain man. Recalling clearly how Raven always stuck to Micah, even when he slept together while camping with the family, at that time their father and mother were still there.

When their parents are killed, Micah and Raven join hands to strengthen their feelings, even hugging each other. At the time of the incident at Flower Fields itself, it was not a fabrication from Collete. The seyia oath actually happened because of Raven's own desire, intended to fence Micah so that no one can have but himself.

"Calm yourself, Raven."

Raven was still crying, starting to curse herself. "It's all my fault, why should I give Micah the distance until it starts to approach another girl."

"Raven, relax. I understand your feelings. But you are a very strong girl!"

Rusk's words made Raven cry even louder. Collete started rubbing Raven's back. "It's okay, cry. I'm sure you'll be a little calmer, Raven. We are your friends, you can share your grievances when we are.

"I was really jealous of Micah's closeness to the girl. From the looks of it, they had had a special relationship until I heard it directly from Shara that the girl had even entered Micah's room, only to meet. Really, I don't take it!"

Collete and Rusk sighed softly. Instantly they begin to understand, why Raven slapped Micah. Turns out the girl had done what Raven had done in childhood.

"What's less than me, until Micah starts to turn his back on me?"

"You're not lacking anything, Raven."

There was a sound of Jack approaching Raven. The man began to understand a little about what was happening.

"Micah only considers Sakuya as her friend. He said he helped the girl at the end of Spring. From then on, the girl started sending letters to Micah. However, Micah never took the letter so seriously.

After all, Sakuya does seem to have a taste for Micah, but Micah does not respond to her feelings at all. Shara said it."

---\~\~\~\~---

Returning to the training ground, Micah and Fifi were seen so posing swinging swords after Sakuya and Pia managed to defeat them. It looks so arrogant.

"Well, you're so arrogant!" sakuya said annoyed.

"What about our sword combo ability?"

Pia started to stand up, then rubbed his dusty clothes. "Looks like Fifi you've been training. It's rare for people to train their Summon Animals."

"Yes, and this is the first time I've seen a Faerie wielding a sword."

"Still think Fifi is weak?"

"Tch, Fifi I admit is strong, but the weak one is you, Micah. You're too capable like the Tanker who always does cover. Looks like the weakness is in your Faerie. If you're without Faerie, I think you're just someone who's very easy to beat."

"Huh?"

Micah was startled. This time, he was weak. "Me, weak?"

"Let's fight in the Collossum arena without Fifi. I want to see how strong you are in the Collossum fight without Fifi's help.

Micah has to fight alone without Fifi's help? How could Micah agree!

"Hey, using Summon is legitimate! Who are you to start organizing me?"

"Well, anyway. But relying on a Summon creature as a Core was a weakling! I don't like it."

"You!"

Micah started to feel emotions. In the soul of a fighter who is especially a man like Micah, must feel very angry if considered weak because the speech hurt his pride.

However, Fifi touches Micah's shoulder, hinting to ask Micah to accept the challenge and give his best in the fight.

Micah started to turn around and started to move away. "If that's what you want, then I'll show you how much I'm capable of, at least, breaking through the top eight!"

Yes, Micah finally accepts the challenge and gets ready for the next fight. He knows that the fight will not be easy, but he will try not to give up and keep fighting. At that very instant, Micah's friendship with Sakuya had collapsed.
