What is this?! I mean, I knew the floor is destined for the elite heroes but this?! A bar selling alcoholic drinks, a golden restaurant, an enormous pool area, with towels and everything already packed on standby mode. Fountains... What? Isn't this overkill? There are three elite rooms with numbers on their doors. The walls are plain white just like snow.
This whole space feels intense, It's like I don't belong here. Each step toward Sakura's door is like walking on ice. The pressure... why is it so cold? I understand she's the ice queen but still...

*KNOCK

"If it's you, just enter."

I hear Sakura's voice... I point myself. Does she mean me or the elite two? I gulp as I open the door.

The smell of strawberry again, I watch as Sakura is positioned upside down on her bed, with her hair dangling off the bed like a car hanging off a cliff.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" I yell, clenching my fist. Directed toward Sakura.

Huh? A bomb exploded... or it seemed like it anyway.

My surroundings are like I'm in space with stars filling everything, I'm still in Sakura's room. No, I think its more like slapping a texture over the entire room with stars.

I take a step back, stumbling in the process.

The oval mirror walks over to me, forcing me to stare into the mirror.

"Alone" is written in blood above my reflection.

"Lost in time! Your new friends will grow old while you stay 19 forever." A text in blood materializes shortly after.

19? Wha?

"I'm stuck at 19 forever? HOW?!" I punch the mirror. It slowly heals itself.

"You were 19 when you broke time... It's like your body is on pause forever, although you aren't immortal." More texts appeared.

"Pff, couldn't I just commit suicide?" I sigh, deadlocking my eyes in my reflection.

"No... The curse doesn't allow self-inflicted wounds to kill you, so even if you jumped off a cliff, you'll heal." more blood appeared in text.

I-I'm c-cursed? I feel my hands shake profusely. No, I imagine Sakura growing old and dying, leaving me... Alone.

Wait, think... Curse... Curse... It had to be Dexis. I don't remember the spell but it started with a curse, was this her misdeed? I fall to the ground.

I'm living forever, I can't grow old. For some, this would be a miracle, but for me... I know everyone else moves on as I stay behind. What if this was Dexis's idea? Or revenge plan. To keep one of the heroes alive and slaughter them when she breaks her seal. I know it can occur any day now.

*POKE

I feel intense pain as my surroundings shift back to normal, the mirror fades.

*POKE

Did Sakura just poke my forehead?

"Creepy..." Sakura kept on poking my face.

"Sorry, lost in thought aha." I smile, poking Sakura in the forehead as revenge.

Sakura proceed to press the golden button as a microphone materialises in front of her.

Sakura opened her mouth.

"Yum yum time..."

Wha-- I--what did I just listen to?

Sakura stepped toward the door, looking at the floor for a few seconds... She opened it, as the man delivering the door sprinted away... Out of fear? perhaps? Sakura... She's a strange one.

"What-- why? A golden steak..." I slap my head, then sat leaning against the bed.

My belly growls. Oh, the smell of the steak sure is tempting. Had to resist the urge though. I stand up, walked to Sakura's desk and took a seat, staring out the window. A semi-transparent blue dome huh? I wonder how powerful it is.

Sakura walks over to me and places the plate in front of me.

"I haven't seen you eat in two days." Sakura turned, sitting down on her bed. Again, her hair dangling from the edge.

"Why help someone like me?" I direct my attention to Sakura.

I wondered about it for a while now. A man from the sky. Wow, what could be so unique about him?

Sakura tilts her head.

"Curious."

Sakura stated, kicking her legs up and down.

That's it? Just one answer. I find it hard to believe.

"I don't know, It's just a weird feeling." She added.

"What happens when you're no longer curious?"

"Nothing."

Sakura's hands altered to neon blue as a bed next to hers formed.

"Yours."

Sakura's voice would bring all life around her to cease immediately. I've kinda gotten used to it though.

Wait, hold on, I blink twice... WHAT?!

"I'd expected to be kicked out." I stare out the window again.

"No, you live here now. It's pretty clear. After all, your clothing is old plus you don't have a home..."

"WHAAAAA!"I jump out of my seat, our eyes locked. It's as if two lions were challenging each other in the wild. How does she know though?

"Also..." Sakura repositioned herself, sitting up on her bed, and using her delicate hands to restyle her hair into a low bun again.

"Why didn't you use your magic during the entrance exam?"

Sakura folded her arms and then tapped her elbow while looking slightly irritated.

EEK! It's like the dilemma has been modified, Sakura is now a bear while I'm the lion. Dammit, why question me? I don't wanna fight for no reason.

"I forgot my long sword aha"

"What's with the pen then?" Sakura begins to tap faster. I wouldn't be surprised if her dress rips.

It's not like I can just say, Hey, we call entrance exams differently, I'm from Earth... She'll be like "Who hurt you." AHH, I cover my face, It'll be such a hassle!

I sigh, I guess Sakura isn't the number one for nothing.

"pff, I don't know."

"You're strange..." Sakura flicked her hair.

I point at Sakura...

"I swear you sleep in that silver dress!"

As I said that, her whole dress shines neon blue, and then her appearance changed...

Short white over-the-knee socks and a white thigh-split dress.

"Better?"

Sakura leapt out of bed and spun around. Revealing her dress a little high, exposing her silver panties.

I facepalm, why aren't I surprised that they're silver?

"HELL NO! YOU DON'T SLEEP LIKE THAT?!" I roar.

I feel my fingers twitch, Sakura... WHAT THE HECK!

She turned away. Her whole clothing lit up neon blue again...

"A black nightgown" She sat back on her bed.

Doesn't it expose too much of Sakura's cleavage? Ah, whatever I'ma have a nap.
