Episode 1-Epilogue(1): Strength Training

****Glory's Outfit above^****

While in the library, Glory and Grim were browsing books for research to find her way back to her own world since Merlin cancel their training early morning since he had a private meeting with Riddle about keeping their meeting a secret which he did.

"Ughhh why are we doing this again?" Grim groans who is lying on the table bored.

"I've told you minutes ago Grim, I need to stop by the library to do research so I could find a way to get back to my world." She told him. Grim rise from the table and spins his head.

"So what's your world like?" Grim asks curiously with his arms crossed. Glory tilts her head a bit pondering about her world.

"Well...nothing really special. In Belle Reve, it's a small town where there are shops like a bakery, library, tailors, restaurants. There's also a beach nearby our town and a carnival that only appears during the summertime." Glory explains and this had Grim's tail stood straight up and a smile is formed from his face.

"Carnival!? You mean like they have rides and food!?" Grim asks excitedly.

"Yeah, but like I said before. It only appears during summer, but..." Glory let's out a sigh and gazes at the window.

"It's been days since I got here, I hope they're doing ok." Glory mutters.

Matter of fact, I wonder how Crowley is doing with the research of getting me back to my world?

Glory thought curiously tilting her head a bit.

"You really missed them do you?" Grim asks curiously and Glory smiles giving him a nod.

"I do actually, my parents are my rock. More importantly, I missed my best friends as well." She says.

"Best friends?" Grim curls his brow.

"Yeah. Zara and Harriet are my best friends. We've been together since we were kids." She told him.

"Oh? What are they like?" Grim asks curiously and Glory smiles when he mentions them.

"They're quite genuine people. Harriet is quite sociable and outgoing, but can be blunt with her words, quite sarcastic, and aggressive most of the times, but she means well." She explains to him when talking about her friend, Harriet.

"So she's basically the female version of Ace?" Grim assumes making her giggle and grin.

"Sorta like that, but she's not as harsh as him." Glory reassures while giggling at the image of Harriet and Ace making a troublemaking duo if she were in Night Raven College. Grim nods understandably.

"And what about this 'Zara' girl you mentioned?" Grim asks as Glory grins warmly when thinking about Zara.

"Zara is quite chill and reserved, but she's actually a pretty sweet girl once you get into her comfort zone."

"Really?" Grim asks and she nods.

"Yeah. She's pretty shy and quiet when it comes to new people, but she'll warm up eventually if you treat her with respect." She explains making Grim tilting his head.

"Hmm if she were here, she'll be definitely fit in with the Igni-something dorm." Grim ponders making her giggle.

"Ignihyde, but I could see her working in that dorm. Since Trey mentioned about Ignihyde being well-known to be good at building equipment or digital things, Zara would definitely pull it off since she's an avid gamer and dreams becoming a programmer. And if Harriet were here too, she'll be definitely put into Heartslabyul dorm since she's good at cooking and baking." Glory states it.

"Hmmm yeah..." Grim hums. Suddenly, she heard a bling from her phone as she grabs the phone from her pocket and pulls it out to see Merlin's text.

Dear Sundrop,

Meet me at the Sports Field stat.

-Merlin.

Glory becomes deadpan when sees his text.

Why does he make it a letter?

Glory thought as she sighs and puts her phone in her pocket.

"Merlin?" Grim assumes.

"Yup, he wants me to meet up with him at the sports field." Glory told him.

"Well in that case, I'll be in my way-"

"Hold up." Glory stops him and grabs his collar. She then yanks him and lifts him from the table.

"Haven't you forgotten that I'm the supervisor here? Like Crowley instructed, it's my job to keep an eye on you. Deuce, Ace, and Trey may taken over my role as supervisor, but this time, I'm in charge today!" Glory seethes as she drags Grim out of the library.

"Eeeeehhh come on!" Grim whines while being dragged.

"Aah shut up." Glory retorts as she and Grim left the library and head straight to the Sports Field.

—————————

An hour they arrived, Glory and Grim meet up with Merlin at the sports field where they meet an unexpected guest.

"Eh? Che'nya?" Glory widens her eyes.

"Eeek! It's that cat with the cat puns!" Grim shrieks.

"Hi, sundrop-chan nice to see ya again!" He greets them merrily.

"Aah, there you are my sundrop. Glad you came." Merlin says.

"Why did you call me here?" Glory asks curiously.

"Yeah and why's that cat here?" Grim asks with a frown making Che'nya chuckle.

"I'm a cat, but I also have a name. Besides, you're a cat too." He points out.

"I am not a cat!" Grin retaliates glaring at him making Che'nya chortle. Merlin sighs and shakes his head.

"Yes, yes, we get it Grim. You're an unidentified tiny beast with a pompous attitude that wishes to be a wizard." Merlin sasses.

"Hey!" Grim yells with a scowl making Che'nya chuckle at his previous tutor's typical sassy comeback. Merlin ignore his whines and turns to Glory.

"First off, don't mind Che'nya. He came here to visit me from his school." He told her.

"Aah right, he's from Royal Swords Academy." Glory understood.

"Yup. I just wanna see my former tutor, so I could talk and tease him about his height; just like the good times." Che'nya jokes.

"And you will not do that, while I'm training Gloriane. Do I made myself clear, Che'nya?" He asks blankly with a red vein throbbing from his head. The playful cat grins and salutes.

"Nyaa~ Right back at'cha, teach!" He replies cheerfully. Merlin sighs and strokes his mustache.

"Moving on. The reason why I'd brought you here is because we need to increase your strength." He instructs.

"My strength?" Glory baffles.

"Yes. You've already know how to used the healing incantation, so we're moving on to the physicality. Why? You ask? Let me tell you, not all healers focus on their voices, they focus on strength and agility as well. Besides, we don't you fainting after using that unique magic of yours now don't we?" Merlin reassures making her sweat drop when he reminds her of the kiss.

"Yeah...I know." Glory awkwardly replies.

"Which is why, I asked Vargas for his permission to let me used the field so I could increase your strength and mentally so you won't deal with the same results like last time. However, you still need to practice your recitals as well." He reassures and a Glory understood it all and nods.

"Right. I'll do my best Merlin!" Glory affirms.

"Very well, now let's start with the tracks. Afterwards, we'll do the agility. Then combat skills. And most importantly, we'll practice on your swordsmanship skills, understood?" He asks and this boast her confidence since Glory is a track runner back in high school so this will be a piece of cake for her.

"Oh hell yes! This outta be a piece of cake! Besides, I'm a track runner after all. I think can handle this one." Glory boldly proclaims and Merlin chuckles.

"Aah confidence. I appreciate that, now let's get to running!" He instructs and she nods affirmably.

"This is going to be a long day." Grim sighs.

"You can do it Glory, I'll be cheering ya on!" Che'nya cheers making her grin.

"Thanks Che'nya!!" Glory exclaims. Then Merlin grabs his stopwatch.

"Three, two, one..." As Glory gets into a running position, Merlin starts the timer.

"SPRINT!"

He shouts as Glory bolts her way where her strength training begins.
