I shivered in remembrance. He was merciless. But that made so strong. I can easily defeat anyone. Well....except my brother.

Hey! I still won a few fights against him. I pouted. I left the bathroom with a fluffy pink towel wrapped around my body. My room had a hot pink and white wallpaper while my floor was covered in a soft baby pink carpet. My queen sized bed was also pink. The covers were pink as well. All in all I loved pink! My whole room was of different hues of pink.

I went into my walk in closet and picked out a pair of dark blue jeans, a black tank top and grey sneakers. I tied my waist length blonde hair in a high pony and went downstairs.

"Hey, brothers." I greeted my brothers who were sitting on the dining table having their breakfast.

Derek had grown taller in the last 4 years and Charlie too. He had just turned 12 years a week back. His hair was now spiked up.

I took my seat and grabbed a toast and started applying chocolate jam on it. I nibbled on it as we siblings made small talks.

"Lucy." Derek called out. I looked up.

"Hmm?" I asked while eating my toast.

"You are done with your training. I have taught you all I could. So I think you can join the academy today. What do you say?" Derek said. Oh my god!! Is he for real! This is great!!

"Of course. I'd love that! Let's go now!" I said jumping in glee.

"First finish your breakfast. Then we'll leave." He sighed.

I quickly munched on my food and was done in a minute. "I'm done! Now let's go!" I shouted. They sighed and got up.

Over the past 4 years I copied a number of other Alices. I have...I guess 45 Alices? Yup I have 45 Alices and I have mastered all of them.

"Ready?" I asked excitedly. They nodded and I transported us in front of the Principal's office. This time I knocked and we entered.

"Master!" I yelled.

"Lucy! Derek, Charlie! It's been a while, hasn't it?" Master asked. He hadn't changed a bit.

"That's right!" I replied happily.

"You seem happy, Lucy. Oh I think I know why! You finished your training, am I right?" Master asked a large smile stretched on his face.

I gave him a thumbs up and said, "Bingo!"

"Oh my dear I'm so proud of you! Especially since you were trained by your merciless brother!" Master said and hugged while crying crocodile tears. I hugged him back crying crocodile tears too.

"I know. He didn't spare me at all! And I'm his one and only sister too!" I yelled dramatically.

"I'm right here, you know." Derek spoke up from behind. We both froze. I could feel a dark aura behind me. And I know perfectly well whose it is. I turned behind slowly, smiling nervously.

"I'm sorry, dear brother?" I asked. He just sighed.

"Master can you just explain her the school details and get it done with." He said, losing his patience.

"Yes, yes of course!" Master said, a bit scared.

"Well...first of all Lucy, there will be 5 classes everyday leaving Saturday and Sunday. You will be given a schedule of all your classes and lectures. And out of the 5 classes the last class is the fight class." Master explained.

I nodded, suddenly curious after hearing the word fight.

"In this class out of the total 300 students only 270 take part. The fight class gives you a rank. The more matches you win the better rank you get." He continued.

"What are the ranks? How many are there in each rank? And what happens to those who don't take part in the fight class?" I asked.

Master chuckled at my curiosity. "The ranks are rank D, rank C, rank B, rank A and rank S. Rank S is the best rank. In rank D, there are 130 students. There are 70 in rank C, 55 in rank B and 14 in rank A. Once you're in rank A or rank S, the students are once again ranked in numbers." He said. Quickly calculating in my mind, I found one student not assigned to any rank.

"Master there's still one more student left. Which rank is he or she in?" I asked.

Masters face darkened a bit. I could see that both my brothers were calm but there was fear in their eyes.

It's quite normal for Charlie but for Derek to be afraid now that's something. This person must be really terrifying.

"The last person is the only one in rank S. He is the most powerful guy in the whole academy maybe even in the whole city of Clastill." Master said.

"What Alice does he have?" I asked.

"He has the Fire Dragon slaying Alice. He's the same age as you. Or maybe a year older than you." Master said. "And his name is....."
