She's That Knight Known as Zero 7 Murderer

During the after party.

"You really were amazing Eureka," Karen enthusiastically said as they watch the party unfolding from the sidelines.

"That is the hundredth time you said that Karen, give our ears a break," Hideyoshi complained.

As the group chats together another group approached them.

"Well, well Raven I see that you found yourself a very capable ZERO group mate." One said as he smirked at Eureka.

"What do you want Kyro?" Mamoru asked the one who talked.

"What? I'm just congratulating your group for passing the first round." He answered sarcastically. "And by the way, you do know what date it is tomorrow don't you Raven?"

"You don't need to ask," Raven answered without looking at him and instead was looking outside the window.

"*scoffs* Acting indifferently, that's so like you." He looked at Raven with contempt.

"If that's all you have to say I shall take my leave now." Raven looked at him, but it didn't escape Eureka's eyes the emotions behind his eyes.

"You really are despicable, acting normally, befriending people as if you didn't steal the time of another person." He got close to Raven and whispers so that only their group could hear whatever he's about to say. "Murderer"

He moved away looking at Raven, with the murderous aura surrounding him. Then he looked at Eureka. "You shouldn't really get close to this group, you might end up dying once they're done with you."

Mamoru and Hideyoshi were about to rebuke when Eureka opened her mouth. "Aren't we just using each other to gain what we want?"

This shocked Kyro a bit before he laughed, "Why don't you just join our group? We can kick out one of our members and let you join after all the groupings could reshuffle before the start of the next round?"

"You-" Mamoru started but was cut short by Eureka.

"You called him a murderer but you're willing to accept a massacrer? I'm amazed" everyone looked at her with shock.

"*laughs* you think I'd believe that?" Kyro replied but with a hint of hesitation in his voice. And before anyone could react she swiftly moved behind his back and placed a dagger in his throat. This sudden turn of events sends shivers down his spine.

"We can try it now if you don't mind," she said icily pressing the dagger to his throat.

This not only shut Kyro and his group up but Feena and the others as well.

"What's going on over here?" the headmaster suddenly interrupted. That's where everyone realized that the whole place turned silent and that all the people around were looking at them. Watching what's going on.

"Sh-She- She's trying to kill Kyro." One of Kyro's minion spoke.

"Eureka!! What are you doing?!?" the headmaster frantically said.

Eureka then released Kyro and sighed. "Headmaster what I am holding is a plastic dagger, how could I kill someone with this?" she tossed the dagger to the headmaster, who caught it and saw that it is indeed a plastic one, looking around it is one of the designs for the party event.

"They actually got scared of a toy? How foolish" the whole venue started speaking in a mocking way towards Kyro's group.

"We're not yet done" Kyro angrily walked away from them and out of the venue.

"Are you okay? You're still pale." One of his minions asked seeing how shaken up their leader is.

"That girl isn't joking, I felt it behind my back when she was holding me. She isn't someone who can execute such movements without any experience. Her demeanor, her voice, her eyes everything about her that time represents someone who has her hands tainted with blood." Somehow even though everything was over he can still feel the dagger on his neck.

Back at the party. The group is just standing there trying to comprehend what had happened.

"I lost interest, I will take my leave now," Eureka spoke first and started walking away.

"Ah-" Karen wanted to call her back but couldn't find her voice. Raven tapped her shoulder and followed Eureka.

Outside the venue.

Eureka thought to herself as she looked up at the sky. Then suddenly realization hit her. She laughs internally.

"You're thinking something too deep aren't you?" she suddenly heard Raven's voice behind her. She looked back and saw him looking at her without any emotion in his eyes.

"Why did you come out as well? Did you lose interest in the party as well?" she asked as she started walking again.

"No, I'm just wondering why did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"Why did you help me?"

"Help you? I don't think I helped you. I was speaking the truth, he spoke to me so I answered him, if he didn't I wouldn't have. Plus isn't it true, I needed a group in order to graduate, you needed a member to complete your group. So, in short, we are just using each other." She replied nonchalantly as they continue walking towards the dorms.

"Then what you said after that was true as well?" he asked stopping while staring at her.

"Your father is the head knight, I don't think you didn't hear about me? And the beginning of my stay here, I wouldn't be under the headmaster's guidance without the head knights knowing of it." She spoke as she stared back at him.

"I've heard that you were found in the middle of the forest gravely injured." He then remembered his father coming home saying that there must be a unique ability user hiding in the shadows for a certain girl to suddenly appear in the forest without anyone noticing her, especially that the forest is within the academy's walls.

"They thought I was there with the help of a unique ability user," Eureka spoke his mind.

(Unique ability user is someone who has an ability that no other person had, or that it was not in the record of the history or an ability that appears one in a thousand year. The Ice and Magma abilities are not unique for it appears in a certain lineage but only one in the family could bear it, while the past bearer would have a weaken ability if another one was born.)

"It actually took them a month before they decided to let the headmaster take me under his wing, but I suppose me being under Kaoru's guidance is the only way for them to monitor my movements." She said as they started walking again.

"Your demeanor, voice, eyes back in the party-" Raven stated

"They were similar to that of a murderer? I already told you right? I'm a massacrer." She said as if what she's saying is nothing of importance.

"You were from a place in the middle of a war?" he asked.

"Who knows," she said not planning on answering his questions. "Well, then goodnight," she said for they have arrived at the girl's dorm. She turned her back and Raven could only watch until she entered the building. He then walked towards the boy's dorm.

Thinking to himself as he entered the dorm.
