HEARTLESS
CHAPTER 1

Omg! It's 10.00 am. I am late again. I was getting ready for ‘The Ripples battle’. Here everyone has a pet with them. They are not normal pets. One who has a connection with a Ripple warrior only can get that. It's the symbol that they have powers. I have a pet too. It's a little dragon. I call it Draco. For playing ‘The Ripples battle’ one has to complete five battles with their pet. When they will complete all the battles and will win 10 Sylvia bronzes. Then the winner may have a chance to play ‘The Ripples battle’ and have to break the last Ripple warrior’s record. Till now no one has broken the last ripple warrior’s record. But Draco and I will do our best to break that record. Finally, I have reached the training house. Actually, it should be named as a training field. But everyone calls it the house. I was going to practice at my favourite spot. Then I noticed there is a girl waiting for someone in front of my practice side. She was wearing a short jumpsuit with short boots. I couldn't see her face properly. I guess I have seen this outfit before. Suddenly, I remember. No wonder. It's her. Annexa.

I wonder how such an extraordinarily delicate face combined with a troublesome personality. Although she also has a pet and it is really powerful. Her one is a tiger but she named it Venus. She got this pet from her mother. Needless to say, her mother was also a ripple warrior and still no one has broken her record. I have no doubt that her daughter will down her name. I have known Annexa for five years. Her mother was a student of my grandpa who was also a warrior as well. Along with her father, my father is an emperor and they know each other. Annexa is one year younger than me. She is sixteen.

I was trying to skip her but she saw me.

‘Hey, Eric!’
‘What are you doing here?’
‘For training’
‘But you never practice here, right?’
‘Yeah. But Miss Lethensia told me that now I should practice some battle techniques to participate in it.’
‘Who’s Lethensia?’
‘Don't you know her! My teacher. She taught me skills .’
‘Oh, yeah, your teacher. I remember.’
Actually, I don’t like that woman, she don’t know any skills, only know the dance , and for sure Annexa is calling her stupid dance a skill.
‘Actually, I want to practise the battles with you, I mean I want to be taught like you .’ she said.
‘Why don’t you talk right away.’ I said.
‘Why don’t we make a partnership ?’
‘ “Partnership” with you, huh!! Dream on.’
Huh!! If I tell you that it will benefit you .’
‘How it will benefit me.’
‘To play the Ripple battle, you have to complete the stages, and to play some stages you need a partner and if you bring powerful pets together and win it, then you can easily get two bronzes in the case of one!! Also for your kind information, there are only three members who have that power!!’
This woman, she barely knows that in that three-members, one is me, other is her and the third one is Poison Invy, he’s father is a philosopher. But I don’t know how he got that creepy snake, it's really dangerous. He also tries to beat my record but can't.No wonder he doesn't like me, She knows that won't be my partner. But anyhow I want the bronzes. I can't see anyway without accepting it. After thinking a little bit I said, ‘Fine, I accept the partnership but if I don't like your performance, then I have my full rights to cancel it, deal?’
‘Deal.i will ever give you that chance.’
‘Overconfidence isn’t good for health.’
‘Aww..are you caring for me?’
‘Never.’
‘Then, let's start the practice.’
‘Yeah, But at first I want to see your Venus’s performance, in a way your teaching skill.’
‘ Why not, Venus, ready! Go.!!’ she said with joy.
Her teaching skill is not that much worse, I mean Venus really has good skills. But I am more interested in her teaching skill, that stupid dance skill, Miss Lethensia thinks that one can fulfil a battle with the skill of Magic dance. How illness. After completing today's training, suddenly she asked me, ’ So, now can we be friends?’
‘How long we know each other?’
‘Five year's.’
‘And how many times have you asked me the same question?’
‘Uncountable, ’
‘And what was my answer?’
‘As usual, “No”’
‘Then, why bother me by asking the same question!’
‘What I just demanded from you, a simple friendship!!’
‘Stop it. It's very late, go to your home.’
I came to my home, I saw Draco was trying to say something but was sputtering.
‘What?’
‘Why don’t you make her your friend? she’s such a nice girl.’ he said.
‘You know that I don't like this friendship or any other bonding. And please stop talking about her.’
