The Ruler Of Night

Chap 14's. Bonding

As time goes on, the long and thrilling match between Shira and Tetsu is finally over.

With Tetsu falling after running out of steam and receiving considerable injuries, Hisobu's Master announces that Shira is the winner of the match.

All the disciples present at that moment gave such a loud applause and cheers, as well as the knight teachers of each class who gave appreciation by clapping their hands.

The handshake between Tetsu and Shira signifies peace and the absence of resentment from both sides.

Shira finds out that Tetsu is a person with a good heart and invites her to make friends.

Because during her fight with Tetsu, Shira did not feel the dark aura that emerged from the killing intent from her.

As for Tetsu, Shira was someone who seemed to give a new light of hope to him.

Because he could feel the warmth of Shira, and the glare of her eyes were so shining.

After the match ended, the injured Tetsu was immediately helped by the academy's medical team by carrying him on a stretcher.

Shira soon followed to the treatment room to recover her wounds.

The match resumed with sequence numbers 7 and 8 as participants.

But because he was so happy and mixed with worry, I, Oda and Rin also prefer to go down to the treatment room and see the state of Shira.

"DARRR!"

The sound of the door being opened violently until it hit the wall as if someone broke into it, making Shira and the two medical witch women who were healing Shira became shocked.

"Shira's! Are you okay !?" Asked Oda who was shouting hysterically loudly, while running towards Shira.

"Hey you! Don't make a fuss here!" Said one of the medical women with long red, wavy hair.

"Eh, aren't you the student we were handling before ?" ask a medical witch woman with her short brown hair.

"I-I'm sorry, I came here again just to make sure my friend's condition is okay" Oda replied with a little stammering who realized his mistake.

"Once again forgive me" said Oda apologizing, while bowing his head and holding the palms together on his head.

Soon enough, I and Rin quickly entered the treatment room and went straight to Shira and Oda.

"Shira, how are you doing ?" ask me to worry.

"Are you okay ?" continued Rin.

Shira did not have time to answer my question and Rin, one of the two women medical witch immediately interjected and explained what happened.

"We are recovering from the wound to Prince Shira, but this person suddenly came in and made a fuss to disturb us" the long-haired witch said.

She seemed so upset, because to him back then was an opportunity for her to get close to Shira, but the rare moments actually became a mess because Oda who suddenly appeared and made a scene there.

Rin and I just fell silent with a stiff chuckle after hearing the explanation of what just happened.

"I'm fine, thanks for your help. Now you two can go, and let my friends be here" Shira said softly.

"But prince, your wounds have not fully healed" said the long-haired woman.

"Ah... This means nothing to me, you two better help your comrades to heal the other patient. He needs more help than I do" said Shira, who tried to convince the two women medical witches who helped him.

"But the prince." said the long-haired woman as if to reject Shira's request, because she still did not want to lose the moment when she was nearby.

After Shira says that she is fine and asks the two medical witch women to help Tetsu immediately, they both leave and leave Shira with us.

"Geez, he is so troublesome" said Oda with a cynical expression, but also looks ridiculous.

"That all happened because of your own actions, Oda" I said as I hit Oda on the head.

"Ouch!" Oda was in pain.

"Haha... There's-there's just you guys" said Shira who saw Oda's silly behavior.

"Shira, are you really okay ?" ask me to make sure it's.

"Of course, do I look like I'm in pain ?" shira asked again.

"No, it's not.. During the match, you had received a very powerful attack that destroyed your shield and caused you to bounce to the wall of the arena. Of course it makes us very worried about your situation Shira" Oda explained with anxiety.

"Please tell Shira honestly, if there's anything we can do to help you" Rin continued.

After hearing all of our words, Shira just fell silent and smiled looking at us.

"How lucky I am to have such good friends as you, thank you for worrying about me like this, you are the best friends I have" shira said with a smile filled with joy.

Hearing the words of Shira that so touched the heart, made Me, Oda and Rin become moved.

Spontaneously, Oda and I hugged Shira tightly while crying with haru.

While Shira who was only silent while laughing saw our behavior that was a little childish.

"Shira, your words really make me feel happy" said Oda who was crying sobbing.

"Do you guys not want to see the next match ?" ask Shira.

"No, the most important thing is how our friend was when we saw him get hurt" Oda replied as Oda and I let go of Shira's arms.

"Again, who was the child who was your opponent ? Is she that strong that she can make you like this ?" asked Oda who was feeling very curious.

We looked to the left of Shira's bed, and there was a curtain covering something behind it.

Behind the curtain is a place where Tetsu is being treated with healing magic by the medical magicians of the academy.

"He is a good boy just like you, only his solitude makes him have to keep all the pressure alone caused by all the misfortune that befell. He was so ambitious to become strong after hearing the news of his father's death while fighting against the demons, from then on he continued to train hard alone until he finally became strong as he is today" Shira explained about a child named Tetsu.

After hearing Shira tell us a little about the boy, it made us feel sorry for him.

"Yuuta, Oda, Rin. The account wants you guys to be good friends with him too" Shira pinta said very much.

"Well, we understand how you feel, Shira, we'll be good friends with her. But, how do you know all that ?" answer me and then ask.

"If that is the case, I am a prince. I want to be closer to everyone in this kingdom, so that I can understand the character of all the inhabitants and the problems they are experiencing.

Especially the people near me and also my friends" Shira explained.

The three of us smiled after hearing the reason from Shira, and realized one thing. In addition to being a good friend, Shira is also an aspiring leader who cares deeply about her people.

I am sure that Shira will become a very powerful King and respected by all races in this world.
