After desperately trying to fight - or as other students called it "running away" - Luca could finally rest, however, he would find himself being carried by the three delinquents.

[Sigh, at this point, am I even surprised]

"We heard the teacher went crazy on you bro", Light said.

"Well she is called the "tiger teacher"", Butterouse said.

"Don't worry bro, Bon will make you strong like Bon", Bon said.

After arriving at the hideout, they put Luca down.

Luca sighed and said, "Well, I guess I still need to figure out "Strengthening", you make it look so easy Bon".

"Well, Bon can keep showing you", Bon said as he started clenching his fist. After a while, his hand started to glow. He then proceeds to punch a tree, leaving his mark on it. 

"You just need more guts bro Luca", Bon said. 

"Guts huh?"

Luca clenched his right fist and closed his eyes.

[Guts...Guts...Guts], He thought as sweats started dropping from his face. 

The wind around them started circulating.

The trees sounded restless.

Luca's fist started to glow. He opened his eyes and smiled, "Hey, I did it"

"NOW PUNCH IT WITH FULL STRENGTH BRO!", Bon ordered

Luca punched the tree, leaving his mark on it. Even if it was shallow, Luca smiled from the result.

[I...I did it]

"HE DID IT", all three of them said in unison while throwing him in the air. 

"Hey, Guys, stop, we still need to train. HAHAHA", he said as they dropped him. 

"I am gonna keep going, so, let's have a battle royale", Luca said as his palms had two different coloured magic circles, red and blue specifically.

"YOU'RE ON BRO", All of them said in unison.

They sparred until the sky turned dark, leaving them all on the grassy ground, looking at the stars.

"Bro, where did you learn to fight like that?"

"Genuinly bro, i can't believe you combine fire and water like that!"

"Bon couldn't even see a thing"

"This is how I usually play with the kids from the orphanage, but you guys are good to, I would have never thought of using light magic like that"

Light said, "It's quite simple really, your mist makes it easier to make afterimages bro" 

"and that exploding rock trick was cool to Butterouse"

"If you want to see it again, I can easily show you bro"

"Well, maybe some other time, let's all rest for now", Luca said.

They all rested in the hideout. 

The windows were open, letting the cold night air cool the hideout. 

Several days later...

"I, as captain, will take command of this group", Madeline said in front of 4 people, which included Luca, Vale, and two other students.

[Seriously, why out of all people, I AM STUCK WITH HER!]
