~•Time Skip To Training•~

"There they are!" I exclaim.

Yukino and I have been waiting patiently for at least 15 minutes for the Twin Dragons to arrive.

Sting and Rogue are running towards us at a fast pace, but they're still a good 500 feet away from us. I smirk, realizing this is a great time to demonstrate my magic.

"Enhance Speed: Fifty Percent!" I chant, my hands surrounded by my (f/c)-colored magic.

The same colored magic also surrounds Sting and Rogue, and I can see they're thoroughly surprised at how fast they're running.

Within a couple of moments, they stop in front of Yukino and I.

"What's your magic?!" Yukino asks me, eyes wide. Since she's a newcomer to the guild, she has never seen me fight or even use my magic.

I grin.

"Support magic." I respond, sort of vaguely, but she'll understand once we're fighting.

"That'll be handy in a fight." Rogue smiles at me.

"Yeah, but how are you at actual fighting?" Sting questions, grinning, his tone competitive and challenging.

"Why don't we find out?" I say, smirking with slight confidence.

"Are we doing tag team battles, (Y/N)-san?" Yukino asks shyly.

"That's actually not a bad idea. I say yes. What do you guys think?" I ask the Twin Dragons.

"Yesssss! I call (Y/N)!!" Sting says, like a child.

I narrow my eyes slightly but chuckle.

"Don't call me, be with me." I say, then turn bright red as I realize what I just said.

"I-I mean...that's not what I meant!" I stammer out, while Rogue laughs his ass off. Yukino softly chuckles at my embarrassment.

Why did I say that?! Stupid, stupid, stupid me. I think. They already think I'm weird enough.

It must be my imagination, but I think I see Sting blush lightly.

I cover my face with my hands.

"Kill me nowwwwww." I accidentally moan out. Rogue laughs even harder because of my unintended innuendo, while Sting just blushes a deeper red. Yukino looks slightly uncomfortable, but laughs all the same.

My face now looks similar to the lost Titania's hair color.

"L-let's just start." I look down, embarrassed at my awkwardness.

"Start what?" Sting winks sexily at me. (A/N: Probably not a real word, but whatever XD)

"Pervert!" I say, blushing, and I hit Sting playfully on the arm.

Rogue finally recovers from laughing.

"I think my abs got a workout from all that laughing." Rogue says, smiling.

"They'll hurt even more when I'm done with you." I tease him, but my tone is seriously seductive.

"W-what?!" Rogue asks, turning bright red.

I smirk at him.

"Anyway...let's start training!" Sting announces with a hurried voice.

"Good luck, (Y/N)-san, Sting-san!" Yukino wishes politely before standing next to Rogue.

"You too." I answer.

We all are in ready-to-fight sorts of stances, except me. I take the first move: a step back.

Exciting, right?

That earns me a questioning look from Sting, and Rogue lunges towards, planning to pack in a punch while Sting is distracted.

"Enhanced Strength: 25 percent!" I shout, and Sting easily blocks Rogue's fist with his hand. He smirks and uppercuts Rogue's jaw, and Rogue skids back a few feet.

"Open, gate of the fish, Pisces!" Yukino summons with a golden key. Two giant sea monsters, practically, burst out of the ground, tearing the hard-packed soil to pieces underneath.

They start to circle Sting, mimicking how a predator circles their prey.

At the same time, Rogue starts moving towards me.

"SHADOW DRAG-" (Shadow Dragon's Roar)

"NULLIFY MAGIC: SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT!" I interrupt, then easily dodge his weakened roar.

The good thing about knowing a powerful magic is that you typically have a larger magic capacity. In other words, I can use many Support Magic spells at once.

"Enhance Speed: Twenty Five Percent!" I cast upon myself, not wanting to waste my magic by using a higher percentage.

As I start running towards Rogue, I see Sting dodging Pisces' attacks with ease.

I turn my attention back to Rogue. I punch him right under his rib cage, taking him by surprise. He attempts to kick my side, which I avoid with nimble feet.

  I then stomp on his left foot, which triggers him to punch my face. I duck under his arm, and swing my leg around to kick his unprotected right side.

  As he starts to fall, he sticks his foot out, which being the clutz I am, actually fall from.

  I awkwardly fall onto Rogue, and he hesitates before locking me into a classic choke hold.

  I don't panic like most would, instead I elbow him in the face. Hard.

  His grip loosens, and I easily slip out of his grasp. I stand up and back away a few steps to monitor Sting.

  He looks very solemn as he finishes beating up Pisces.

  "Nice one, Eucliffe!" I shout as Rogue starts standing back up.

   "Thanks!" Sting answers. He turns to Rogue, and sees the pained expression on his face.

  "Ha! You're getting beat up by a girl, -" He is cut off by his own high-pitched scream as Yukino's Gravity-Altering Spirit, Libra, activates her magic.

  Rogue laughs.

  "At least I don't scream like one!" Rogue grins.

  "Oh, we'll see about that." I smirk, before activating another spell.

  "Decrease Speed: Fifty Percent!" I cast on Rogue.

"How the (f/i/t/b) do you have so much magic power left?!" He asks.

I smile innocently.

"I wonder, too!" I say, laughing at his frustrated expression. He growls.

"Shadow Dragon's Slash!" Rogue says, but he moves a lot slower than he's used to. So, he puts more power and effort into it.

  Smiling, I easily sidestep and release my spell, and the unexpected momentum causes Rogue to crash to the ground onto his face.

  He yelps a little, but doesn't scream.

"Ah, so you are an actual boy!" I joke. "Not a five year old girl like someone."

   I direct the last part at Sting.

    Rogue chuckles into the ground.

  "Sting, you just got told!" Yukino laughs.

  "Damn this anti-gravity magic!" Sting yells as he gets squished to the ground from Libra's magic.

  He somehow manages to sit up. Struggling the entire time, of course.

  "Magic Boost: Ninety Percent!" I cast it on Sting as Rogue slowly and surely starts to get back up.

"White Dragon's Roar!" Sting shouts, and the directed roar totally obliterates Libra. Yukino is also caught up in the roar, so she's also out.

"Shadow Dragon's Crushing Fang!"

I am caught off guard, and the shadowy substance is rewarded a direct hit on my shoulder.

Gritting my teeth, I decide to end it.

"Enhance Strength: One hundred percent!" I shout.

  I punch Rogue in the stomach, and he is sent flying back at least twenty feet.

  When he doesn't get back up, I fist pump, breathing heavily from all the Magic Power and exertion.

  "Victoryyyyyy is mine!!" I laugh.

   Sting runs over and high fives me.

  "Hah! You are good at fighting!" He exclaims. I blush pleasantly.

   Wh-what?! Why am I blushing?! He just...complimented me...? I think.

   H-he's just being nice! I argue with myself.

   "T-thanks." I smile.

  These stutters will be the death of me.

  Rogue groans and stands back up.

"I think I underestimated you." He admits. "I'm going to be so sore...urghh."

  When I look over back at Yukino, Libra has disappeared. Yukino is still laying on the ground.

  I quickly run over to Yukino and offer her a hand. She gladly takes it.

  "Hey, are you okay?" I ask. She smiles.

"Y-yeah, thanks (Y/N)-san. Your Support Magic is really cool!" Yukino responds.

  "Are you kidding?! I wish I had a couple Celestial Spirits to summon from golden keys!" I say, laughing lightly.

We walk back over to Sting and Rogue.

"I'm glad we're all teammates. I think we'll do well at the Grand Magic Games." Rogue says in a serious tone.

  "Yeah. Isn't that...in almost three months?" Sting asks.

  "Yep. Three months of intense training." I say, groaning. Then I perk up as I have an idea.

  "Hey, why don't we arrive at the guild early tomorrow? Then we can research training spots." I offer.

  "I agree. Should we invite Orga and Rufus?" Yukino asks.

  "Actually, I think they already left for training." Rogue says. "We should also find a good training spot."

  "Exactly." I say.

"So, what time do we want to meet up?" Sting questions.

  "Five....?" I suggest.

"Five?! That's so early!" Sting says, looking at me like I'm crazy.

  "That's the point. It'll give us time for researching." I say. "Plus we'll have to ask...Master Jiemma."

   They all gulp.

"Fair point..." Sting sweat drops.

  "So, five it is." Rogue confirms.

  There is a moment of silence.

   "Well, see you tomorrow!" I say awkwardly, waving.

"Can I walk with you, (Y/N)-san?" Yukino asks.

  "Sure." I smile, and we start walking away.

  "See you at five!" Sting calls, while Rogue just waves.

  And that was the beginning
  of absolute chaos.
