The next day, Suzuha woke at 11:00AM in the morning, the birds were chirping, the sun light shone, the day was just pleasant. Suzuha sighed softly, she touched her head and noticed that her head was filled with cold sweat "Sweat? Was I sweating in my sleep?", she asked herself. Suzuha just took a sigh "Whatever, it was just a dream. I'm a full grown woman now....", she got up from her bed "I shouldn't be so scared of things like I used to be.", Suzuha walked out of her room. She went into the kitchen and started washing the dishes, after that, she walked to the bathroom, took off her clothes and started having a bath. While Suzuha was taking a shower, she couldn't help but to think of her friend who died in war when she was still a young teenager. She remembered the smile he had on his face as blood rushed from his head, hands and the rest of his body. Suzuha snapped back to reality, she blinked "It's about time I went to his grave.", she started to wash her hair. Later, after she had finished her bath and had dressed up, she walked out of the house. The house she lived in was one that was surrounded by a wide training ground that stretched up to 300 meters in size and length, there were also large forests around her the place too. [BOOM], she heard a large explosion, she looked forward and saw Roy, blasting fire balls into the air continuously. Suzuha sighed "Early in the morning, and he's already prepared to cause chaos.", she said to herself. She called out to her brother "ROOOOY!", Roy looked back and saw his elder sister standing on the hill their house was on "Oh, great. She's awake.". He walked all the way to Suzuha "Yeah, I'm coming.", Suzuha started to drag her younger brother by the cheek "How many times have I told you to be great full that I'm awake. Stop seeing me early in the morning and thinking I'm a drag....", Roy replied while his left cheek was being pulled "This is exactly the reason why I always say that, you're a hassle.". Few minutes go by, Suzuha was doing a few stretches while Roy sat on the grassy floor "So, where are you going?", Roy asked, Suzuha explained "Im going off somewhere, I don't have any missions I'm doing, so I'm having a free day. What of you?", she asked her younger brother if he had anything to do. Roy explained "Well, I have a mission today, it's just a patroll mission. I was planning on hanging by myself today, so I guess it's fine.", Suzuha looked at him "You've gotta take all missions seriously.", she nagged, Roy replied "Yeah, yeah. I know.". Suzuha went off "Well, I'll see you in a bit.", Ralfold on the other hand was standing infront of a grave. He looked at the grave with the name [CID DARKHEART], Ralfold had an almost dissapoited look on his face while looking at that grave. He began go mutter "Cid. It's been nine years since you died in that war against the Knight Country. As you very well may know, I'm an adult now. I've had time to work on my skills, I've gotten tons of stronger, and I'm even a teacher at the academy. I forgot to mention that last part each time I came to visit your grave, I'm sorry.". Ralfold continued to look at the grave "Both of my students have become stronger too, they impress me every day. As a teacher, I'm very proud of myself. Suzuha is doing fine too, she isn't as much as a cry baby as she used too, looks like she's grown a pair.". Suzuha's voice asked "A pair of what.....?", Ralfold was a little caught off guard "A pair of-", Suzuha cut him off "Finish that sentence, and I'll burn you.". Both Suzuha and Ralfold stood at Cid's grave "How long have you been standing here?", she asked, Ralfold replied "Since 8:00AM. I sent a clone to spar with my students while I came here and stood the entire time.", Suzuha scoffed "You really are depressing.". Ralfold asked "Hey, Suzuha. If Cid were to still be alive, do you think he'd be strong like us?", Suzuha replied "Offcourse he would. Cid was very strong, stronger than most kids our age at the time. He was very skilled with a sword, he knew all sorts of techniques, and he never gave up at all. If he carried that same personality to adulthood, he'd be just as strong as we are now.". Both friends kept quiet again, Suzuha then asked "Ralfold....", Ralfold responded "Yeah?", Suzuha asked "Have you ever wondered how we've been able to get this strong?", Ralfold replied "Beats me. I worked hard and realised I'm strong. Now I'm here, the same thing for you too.". Suzuha sighed "Ahh. You're so blunt, you know?", Ralfold replied "Whatever.". Suzuha then teased him "Hey, Ralfold. When are you going to get a woman to like you....?", Ralfold got annoyed and flustered at the same time "Shut up! I'm too busy actually lusting to the point that I don't care about the personality of any female I do it with.", Suzuha laughed "You're so sad. Well, as for me, I'm with Kojin. He's going to take care of me and give me the best life imaginable.", Ralfold smiked and looked to the side "Good luck with that.".
