"That's her, that's her. The only zero who was able to enter the academy"

"I wonder how did she survive her last 2 years here"

"No, the question is 'How will she graduate?'"

"Oh yeah, that's right. It was a group competition wherein the individual score will be tested base on ability and physical strength. And another is the group score but who will take in their group someone without ability and would just drag the whole team down. The group won't graduate if they are from the lowest places."

*sigh* she could only sigh. That is indeed her problem right now. No one would accept her into their group. She asked a lot of groups already and they flatly rejected her. They didn't even try her if she could synchronize with their team or if she is capable enough.

As Eureka thinks about this problem she is already walking towards the headmaster's office in order to ask for reconsideration regarding her case. She knows within herself that she is good enough to become a knight of the kingdom.

This academy is the beginning for all the aspiring knights. But most of those knights or to be precise all of the knights, that graduated, have abilities. Those with weaker abilities or those without could only be palace guards.

"Ms. Eureka"

Just as she's about to hold the knob to open the office door she heard someone calling her from behind.

"See I told you she'd be here"

"I see, I see Karen."

"You called?" she impatiently called for their attention, after all, she still has a problem to solve in order to graduate. Why of all times do these people have to interrupt her today, when she's resolved to fight with the head in order to graduate.

"Ah yeah sorry, I'm Feena though I suppose you do know. Anyway, you know that the graduation competition is just around the corner. And you know that it is a group of six right?" she slowly explained it to Eureka as if implying something.

"Please direct to the point."

"Uhmm you see, we really are looking for someone to complete our group..." seeing Eureka becoming irritated Karen went ahead with the explanation.

"I can hear a but"

"Yes, we also know you are Eureka and that uhmmm I mean your ability"

"I don't have any ability so why did you talk to me when your group is not yet complete" She actually already knows what they are implying, she could be on their group but with her non-ability self also known to others as zero, they can't just accept her instantly.

"Fight with us" Feena seeing how irritated Eureka already is, just went and asked her for what they really wanted her.

"Fight with you or fight a duel with you?"

"Oh yes, we want to have a duel with you, in a kind it's a test for us to see if we really could take you in our group. "

"Okay" accepting it instantly startled Feena and Karen.

"You're not going to think about it?" Karen wondered. "I mean we literally told you that you're zero and that you have to prove to us that you can keep up with our group."


"If the strongest group asked for me to duel them in order to join their group, I don't think anyone would think about it. Plus I AM a ZERO. When?" Asking for the time and place of their duel.

"Then tonight at the practice arena, we'll be waiting," Karen said as they wave her goodbye.

"I guess I don't need to talk to the headmaster now." Turning back she started thinking about the group who invited her.

Karen, Earth ability. Hideyoshi, Wind Ability. Mamoru, Earth Ability. Feena, Water Ability. And their leader Raven, Fire Ability, being the top of the class. The perfect group, complete with the top strongest abilities. Of course, there are others with this ability but Raven's group is one with the best synchronization within the team. To think that this group wanted to try her that is more than enough for her.

As long as she can graduate and be a knight, that's more than enough. That's where everything will begin for her.

That night, standing in the middle of the arena. Eureka waited calmly as the whole group arrived.

"Who am I going to duel with?"

"Don't worry just me and Feena is fine. The boys are just here to watch." Karen replied just as the boys went to the stands to have a seat.

"Shall we begin?", unsheathing her sword. Feena stepped aside implying that Karen will be her first opponent. Karen started chanting to begin her attack. As she finished her chant Eureka jumped up and flipped then sliced the earth that was sneakily attacking her. Karen smirked and chanted another bunch of incantations. Spikes started appearing fast from the ground. Eureka, on the other hand, jumped right and left in order to avoid the spikes. The chants never stopped and this time the attack came from above. Eureka this time didn't avoid them but fought it head on not even a single one neither landed on her nor grazed her. The shower is not yet finished when Karen chanted another spell.

"Hey isn't Karen going overboard," Hideyoshi asked the other guys "It is important to try to go overboard in order to test her" Mamoru replied looking at Raven.

Karen's chant never stopped while Eureka kept on avoiding and slicing through her attacks. Just as it seems like all Eureka could do is to avoid and defend, Karen attacked with blocks of earth from four sides and tried to flatten Eureka. But when the four blocks reached the middle, there was no one there.

"Eh?" Eureka's sword was suddenly in front of her.

"Give up?"

Karen smirked at her but suddenly disappeared when she was sent flying by her own attack.

"Harara she fainted. To think that you would use her own attack against her. Mamoru if you please" Feena called when she approached Karen who's currently lying on the ground.

"How did she?" Hideyoshi can't help but ask.

"She used the block of earth's, attacking her from behind, momentum to increase her speed and be in front of Karen instantly" Raven replied.

"So I guess it's my turn to fight you now? Do you need a break?"

"No need let's finish this now."

Feena is currently holding a one-foot silver rod which turned into a whip when water was added to it. Their battle started instantly, Eureka could only dodge knowing that she can't slice through the water. Feena began using high end spells creating duplications of her up to 9 images. But what startled everyone was the fact that she ignored the other after images but went directly to the real one and attacked her relentlessly taking advantage of Feena's shock. When she did recover she instantly created a water wall where she uses her reflection in order to distract her opponents. But to no avail for Eureka instantly located her whereabouts and hit her again.

"That should be enough" before Feena started attacking again someone spoke from the top of the stands.

"Ah, it's the headmaster" Karen who just woke up was the first to speak.

"Good evening headmaster." Everyone greeted.

"It's already late, isn't it that you all have curfews?" Walking down the headmaster started lecturing them. "But oh well, are you here trying her for your group?"

"Yes we are"

"Hmmm seems someone noticed her capabilities that others didn't" looking towards Raven who just stood there. "What do you think?"

"The way she moves, her agility and speed are great, fighting against Feena and Karen who's at the 4th level of their abilities. But her prediction is something else." Answering, implying what he had observed through the two battles Eureka just finished.

"Right right? Those instructors really, they just couldn't accept losing to her on those exams of yours that is why they wouldn't even show her grades to her classmates. They didn't know her worth at all." As if having a tantrum the headmaster spoke stamping his feet on the ground.

"They lost?" the others asked. After all, every exam was an individual one, either they'd show a high-end spell perfectly or do a spell that is acceptable to their instructor. But in Eureka's case, no one knows how she had been passing all this time.

"You see….."
