Several days later, 

In the hideout, Luca was studying or rather attempting to prepare for the upcoming finals by reading some books.

"Why are you so worked up bro?", Light asked.

"I am just trying to rack my brain over this page, AGHHH, why do we have to learn the history of magic?"

"Well, it is part of the curriculum", Light answered. 

"You don't need to worry too much bro Luca, even Bon could pass the final exam"

[Wait a second, aren't they my seniors?]

"Can you guys at least tell me how you guys did back then?"

"Bon thinks bro Luca just needs to focus on the sparring match"

"Yeah bro, besides the practical is 60% of the grading anyways", Light said. 

Luca sighed and closed his book. 

"Well, I guess you're right, maybe I should just focus on the practical", Luca said. 

[Besides, I can rely on you when the time comes right, dragon king?]

[...]

[Dragon king?]

[Sigh]

"Now that's the bro we know", Butterouse said with a smile on his face.

"Well, let's go outside and have a spar then".

"YEAH", all three of them said in unison. 

They proceeded to spar till the sky filled with stars. 

The next day,

Luca went to class. He sluggishly sat on his chair.

"What happened to you?", Madeline asked with a concerning look. 

Luca who had a wound on his cheek and bags under his eyes said, "Just...training"

"I thought my training was strict, but I guess not", Madeline said as she chuckled. 

Luca chuckled and could feel a slight pain on his chest. 

"Do you want me to carry you to the infirmary?"

"I'd rather you not"

"Well, class is starting anyway"

Miss Grealina entered the class with an orb on her hand.

"Morning you lots, you all know what day it is today"

[Oh yeah, lottery for the final exam was today]

"I will call you all one by one to touch this artifact and this thing will choose your opponent for your sparring match"

[Huh, that's pretty neat, isn't it?]

"How about we start with you dragon boy", Miss Grealina said as she pointed at Luca

[Sigh, can't she give me a better nickname? well, at least this time she's not glaring at me] 

Luca went in front and touched the orb. A rope of light came out of the orb and went around him.

"Now, that's interesting", Miss Grealina said. 

[Huh?], he thought as he could hear the murmurs and laughter of several students. 

Luca turned back. The rope had pointed to none other than...Marie.

[You've got...to be kidding me]
