Also, this world can be considered an AU. I tried to add it to the tag but I couldn't find it so I have just mentioned it in the synopsis.

Shizu looked at the city she was currently leaving with sad eyes. She had arrived here some months ago with Ryuu and it could be said to be one of the most interesting and fun times she had in a long while.
Saying that she is fond of Ryuu is an understatement as She knew that she had developed a little crush on Ryuu.
It was the first time in her life she had those feelings and now it may even be the last. Knowing his age Shizu couldn't help but be ashamed of herself for having such thoughts about such a young person.
Though she knew that if nothing went wrong Ryuu would also live for hundreds of years. This was the only thing that calmed her down but still, due to her emotional instability, it has gotten harder to suppress Ifirit.
She feels like if she stayed with Ryuu any longer the fire spirit may be set free which she cannot have.
Thus she left the city quite quickly even though she wanted to stay longer. Now she is currently heading toward the Holy City to meet her first student.
'I wonder how much she has grown.' Shizu thought to herself as she left the city and began her journey.
After travelling for a week and a half she reached the holy city. As she had already informed Hinata about her arrival Hinata welcomed her inside the city and took her to the knight's headquarters.
She was given a guest room inside the building as Hinata insisted she stayed there. Finally giving up she stayed there and she knew that her stop here would be longer than she had thought.
"So Sensei wanna have a drink?" Hinata asked as they were walking through the halls of the knight headquarters.
"Well it seems like your drinking habits haven't improved," Shizu remarked hearing Hinata's question.
"Well, it does help keep the mind calm," Hinata said.
"So what do you say?"
"Sure, I guess it's good to let loose sometimes," Shizu replied while stretching her arms.
Ifrit has calmed down a little and she knows that too much stress can weaken its suppression so it is a good idea to calm herself down and let loose a little.
"Great, then please follow me," Hinata said and started to walk in a certain direction.
Climbing up the stairs they reached the next floor of the building which is mostly not used as only the captains are allowed entry here.
Walking toward a private resting area Hinata opened a big gate. What came into view was a lone table with two chairs, there were different wines placed on the table with two glasses placed on the opposite side. There was a window next to it with gave the view of the outside.
"Well, you seem prepared," Shizu said as she took a seat.
"I knew you would accept so I had prepared beforehand," Hinata replied and also took a seat.
Opening a bottle she pored some wine for Shizu and then herself.
"Hope you enjoy it they are some of the best from my collection," Hinata said as she took a sip.
"Now you even have a collection. Didn't think the girl I met that time would become so fancy." Shizu remarked as she also enjoyed the wine.
"I didn't think so too but I guess time changes people," Hinata replied as she looked outside.
"Time sure is something," Shizu said as nostalgia filled her eyes.
"Hmm"
A silence descended there but it was a calming silence that let them completely enjoy the taste of wine they were drinking.
As they talked to themselves they drank more, they told stories about the time after they parted and got to catch up with each other.
And just like that night had descended and they had drank four bottles of wine. If it was a normal amount this wouldn't have affected them much but as they are of Hinata's collection there is no chance they are normal.
They are made with magicule-rich fruits from the Beast Kingdom Euruzania which were then processed in the Sorceous Sarion Dynasty.
Each bottle will cost a fortune being equal to the price of a full Rare-grade armor set or a cheaper unique-grade weapon.
As Hinata was stronger than Shizu she hadn't totally lost herself to the effect of the wine but Shizu had completely lost it.
Her face was a pinkish hue and she was drawing a circle on the table with her hands while thinking about something.
"Hmmm, So sensei did you get a boyfriend?" Hinata asked being interested in her Sensei's love life as hers is non-existent.
Hearing Hinata's question Shizu's mind wandered toward a certain someone and her already red face got even redder. With a burst of speed, she quickly replied while shouting loudly.
"I..I don't."
Hearing her reply and seeing her behaviour Hinata got suspicious and looked at her with narrowed eyes. Getting such a reaction to a simple question her curiosity was peaked.
"Hmmm, suspicious. Do you think you can lie to me Sensei?" Hinata said as she folded her hands.
"I-I really don't," Shizu replied again with a shuttering face. As for the reason for her shuttering, it could be either the wine or her embarrassment
Hinata didn't give up and continued to ask her questions not letting go. Having been bombarded by so many questions Shizu crumbled under the pressure emitted by Hinata.
Having no choice or that's what she thought she told her everything about Ryuu and her dilemma. Hinata silently listened to her without disturbing her while taking a sip of wine.
It seemed to have opened the floodgate as Shizu poured her heart out. After finishing her story Shizu silently stared at Hinata waiting for her reply.
Putting her cup of wine Hinata looked at Shizu's eyes and replied.
"You know Shizu sensei you shouldn't worry about such things. If after some years you still like him and he likes you, you shouldn't hold yourself back." Hinata replied.
"R-Really, but will he like me," Shizu asked.
"There is no way he won't like you," Hinata said as she took another sip of her wine.
Hearing Hinata she placed her head on the table and was lost in deep thought. But it seemed like fatigue and caught up to her and she fell asleep.
"Hmm, I wonder what he is like," Hinata muttered as she looked outside the window.
"I should test him to see if he is worthy of Sensei," Hinata promised herself as she looked at the face of sleeping Shizu.
