069 – Jai, Thoughts
Last Updated:
2021-01-10 08:24:21"Master of Ceremony, is it possible that I take some of the time to introduce the guests?" His Majesty asked.
The MC bowed before he turned his attentions to the committee, then to the participants boxes, giving each a nod as a signal. He then returned to the King, "very well, Your Majesty. The time is yours."
Jai saw the King stood up as the MC and his bird went to the side line.
He squinted his eyes to see the King's figure. He had not gotten the chance to see the person in the first round, because he could only hear his voice. But now that he saw the King in person, he could see the regal aura emanating from his figure. He looked like a wise middle-aged man.
"I would like to thank all of you for your participation in this joyous event. As participants, and as the audience."
The King's voice was low-pitched. It sounds like heavy rocks falling from a cliff, rumbling, and like the earth, solid. Aside from

The Last Thunder 070 – Two-side Attack
The battle between Raka and Ugi was interesting.Jai had first thought that being a wind elemer, one will rely on long-range attacks to gain the upper hand. But after watching Raka’s battle until now, Jai had scratch that from his mind.‘Raka was rather versatile. He could change from short melee to mid-range, and also long-range attacks. I’ll have a chance if I can lead the battle with short-range attacks, fight him fist to fist.‘But he had seen me battle, and everyone here already know I have lightning. So there’s a possibility he will try to switch to long-range, or hopefully, mid battle. If he chose long-range, my chance can fly away,’ Jai hummed gravely.Jai also noticed that there’s this... Faint, light green mist emanating from Raka’s body and moved in sync with his attacks. Jai didn’t know what that is, but that could have something to do with Raka’s speed and

Mugen was the first to act.As soon as the committee called the start of the match, fire surged from Mugen’s right fist and he immediately leaped towards Jai with his arm drawn.Jai widened his eyes, ‘Fast!’He immediately dodged to the left as the fire fist rushed past his right shoulder. He could feel the heat as it passed.Jai immediately jumped back.Mugen turned around and the fire vanished from his fist.“You’re fast, Jai,” Mugen smirked, his eyes glinted with excitement.“I don’t think you’re this fast in the previous battle. Were you hiding it for this moment?”Jai walked to the left while Mugen rounded to the right. They were studying each other.Mugen's lips twitched upwards. He raised his hand and once again, fire swirled from his right palm down to his elbow."Just for the finals. Don't worry, Jai. You're

Small feet trotted on the wide pavement street.His grey-blue orbs sparkled with confidence.He had a mission and he was trying to accomplish it. He had to get back fast to the house, but he realized he couldn't run. He feared the thing he was bringing will be soiled if he chose to run. Cause it ever happened before in his home.He passed by the tall plastic cup-like lamps on the street.He glanced briefly to the lamps, considering it weirdly shaped but good, because he had never seen them before in his home. It's good because it illuminated the path in the middle of the night.Not that he needed it though. His eyes were perfectly fine both in daylight or night time.He raised his head a bit to avoid soiling the thing in his mouth. He had to get this back to the house quickly.He turned to the right and entered someone else's lawn. No one noticed of

Jai opened his mouth and fed himself the weird green noodle Darrion had bought. The twins were the ones who delivered it, so it seemed that his blonde friend had called the delivery from their place.Darrion had ordered two noodles, which colors were both green, and two bags of chips possibly potato to mix with the noodles. And boy, Jai loved it.Darrion watched Jai with raised brows, amused at how bloated Jai's cheeks currently were. His friend was enjoying the food in his own pace, dead hungry kind of pace. It kinda reminded him of a frog's throat that Darrion couldn't help but chuckle. He continued his eating.Jai swallowed the food in his mouth slowly until his cheeks gradually becoming normal. He took the cup of water he had put on the railing in front of him, then drank the content. Then he exhaled satisfyingly."Aaah... That was incredibly delicious," Jai pointed out. He was smiling brightly

Darrion's expression twisted into an ugly frown while the person a few feet to his left stood up. Jai saw Torfo walked past them and both of their eyes contacted with each other briefly. Even though none said anything, the glare in Torfo's eyes were clear. It didn’t mean that Jai finally understand what the glare was for though.When the young soldier finally left, Darrion spoke, “Wish me survive and wish me luck. I know I can’t win, but I’d really like it if I can at least punch him or touch him in my wake.”Jai patted him on the back, “You can touch him. He’s not invisible like your wind.”Darrion smiled, “Thanks, Jai. I'll make sure his day miserable.”Jai nodded helplessly.“Good luck, little windlet. I’ll dry your clothes for you,” Bara reassured.Darrion chuckled, “Yes, thank you. That would save me some trouble.”Bara laughed.Then Jai stood up and

The fiery performance surprised everyone in the arena. Even the guests in the noble platform were amused."Mmm~ So hot..." A lady seductively muttered in the platform. She was wearing a slightly open, red kimono with dragon-like designs and gold accessories."Your taste is always youngsters with marvelous skills," replied the big man in yellow clothing. His words seemed playful, but his tone was a little insinuating."Oh hush, I'm really liking this performance," the lady said excitedly. Then she mumbled, "I wonder if it's okay to take him study abroad."The look in her eyes glinted something more than what she just said."Torfo is our youngest and talented soldier. I think I prefer keeping him," His Majesty said, ending it with a laugh.The lady moaned, "I can only wish then... Oh, irony!"The other guests could only sweat dropped.Back to the arena, Torfo stretched

Torfo's fire blazed around him while Darrion was falling with his wind swirling around him. They exchanged look once again. And then Torfo blasted his fire towards Darrion who was still flying in the sky.Darrion glared at the coming shot and dodged it easily. He continued flying down with his eyes focused on Torfo.Seeing the white haired guy glaring back at him, Darrion smirked."I can still do something to you without touching you at all. Let's play for a bit before I surrender, yeah?"He knew perfectly well that his opponent couldn't hear him. But he didn't mind. He wasn't actually asking anyway.The blonde windlet stopped in midair once again, already setting his plan in motion.He stretched both of his hands and grunted, as if he was lifting something very heavy. Then, something happened in the arena.Torfo who was on the ground, felt that his hands and feet were slowly bounded

His friend immediately passed out when Jai helped him lie down on one of the beds.Nurse Lin said that the blonde had used up too many of his energy in the battle and might probably miss two or three upcoming battles.Jai left him in her care and asked her not to wake him until the tournament is over.He already won two battles, and he did say he was happy he could get in among the tenth. The blonde might as well surrender for the rest of the battles and rest his body and mind.Jai could understand that taking revenge on somebody could take a lot of effort.

The Last Thunder 611 – Baby Shower (2)
Jai felt something wrapped around his stomach from behind. He immediately looked down to his waist, spotting two smaller sized hands coiling on his waist.‘A kid, obviously. But who is it?’ Jai wondered. This was a baby shower event, so he wasn’t feeling weird if children attend too. The question is, who is this kid?He tried to turn around to look at the hugger, but the kid was hugging him tight. It wouldn’t be hard to push it, but he was reluctant because it’s a kid. He knew there’s nothing he could do but ask.“Oh? Hello? Is there anything you need?” Jai asked with a friendly tone.He could hear giggles, but the kid didn’t answer his question.“Oh are we playing guess?” Jai asked.More giggles.“It’s a boy.” Someone whispered from his left side. A familiar voice yet he could not name.“Hey!” The boy protested.But from that tone alone, Jai could already figure out who it is. So he said. “Hello, Ruta-kun.”The kid let him go and Jai could finally turn around. True, it was Ruta. The
The Last Thunder 610 – Baby shower (1)
On the day when the baby shower was held, Jai arrived at the place with Baji.The venue is in a mansion in the North Town. Jai hadn’t been in that certain neighbourhood, but he finally understood that the North Town is the place for the riches, and the neighbourhood they were in is probably among the richest. The mansion building is tall, and the garden is so wide. There’s a medium sized pond with two gazebos on the side, and then there’s also a small orchard on the right side of the mansion.Baji leaned in to whisper something. “The party is in the back garden. And keep your mouth shut, please. You’re a famous guy and I don’t want you looking stupid.” Then he leaned back.Jai immediately closed his unconsciously parted lips and recited the plan. He couldn’t, of course, confront an important figure of a clan in a crowded venue. So Baji and Gilbert had made a plan to help him talk alone with Fuuji Fu in the venue. He just have to make sure he could deal with the ‘fans’, though he hoped
The Last Thunder 609 – Invitation
It isn’t a doubt that Cynthia was reluctant to share that information with Harris because Jai was there. So Jai proposed to the brunette to re-visit the place later in the day to ask about it.Baji was there when they returned, and Jai immediately told him about the findings he got also to consult about the Fiery Lotus.Baji crossed his arms on his chest and nodded in acknowledgement. “It’s fortunate that a promising lead is finally here. We’re sorry for the late initiative from our part. We should’ve worked harder.”He didn’t think that he would receive an apology from Baji. But it showed that the man is a responsible person. Jai shook his head. “It’s alright. From the start, it was already a scavenger hunt. But do you know anything about either of those?”Baji fixed his seating before he explained. “Well about the Chief of Fuuji, he’s a strict person on males. He’s nice to females, and he’s really into babies. There’s only one male person he had shown his friendly side to in public,

“So uhh, this person whom you mentioned before with Tsubasa is a very important person. And you want to ask him about Alex?” Darrion asked when they were in the carriage, heading back.Jai narrowed his eyes. “Why aren’t you being straightforward?”“I’m a bit tired from today. There are so many deliveries like yesterday. But ahh… I’m more tired in trying to understand what they say.” Darrion said with nervous smile.Jai forgot that his friend is not adept in Shouha language, it must be hard to work without understanding what anyone is saying.“Sorry.” Jai apologized.Darrion nodded. “It’s fine. Let’s just stick to no name for now, if possible. I… Can’t really erect a barrier right now.”“Sure.” Jai nodded. “The… Family, you know, told me about him. Saying that he is the first person we can ask about Alex. But he has a very high standing, as you’ve listened to me and the father talked about him, so it won’t be easy to talk to him.”“I see. So that’s why you go to them. They can be consi

"Sorry if it's too much of me to ask." Jai said."Oh no, no. It's fine. But my mother is not at home though, is that alright?" Yuta asked as he turned to Jai and Darrion behind him."It's alright. It's very sudden after all." Jai said."Alright then. Would tea be alright?" Yuta asked."Yes. It's fine. Thank you." Jai answered.Fu Fuuji is the head chief of one of the notorious Ten Guardian Clans, the Fuuji clan. After leaving the Komatsu’s residence, he was thinking about how to get in touch with this person. And the Akamine clan is the first thing that came into Jai’s mind.While they don’t really owe him a favor, this family is the closest connection that he has to the Fuuji clan, because they’re also one of the Ten Guardian Clans.Also, he knew that it’s not guaranteed that he would get an audience with Fu Fuuji through the Akamine. There’s a possibility that they are enemies with each other. But he would at least try to ask. So here they were, in the Akamine clan’s residence.Yuta

Returning to the present.“Little Sparks. Fiery Lotus. What the hell are those?” Jai asked as they left the compound.“Quiet down. You’re gonna get us killed for that.” Claude remindedJai turned around and talked in slight whisper. “If it’s associated with the Queen, that means it’s very private. In the North Town, in a community place like thing. It doesn’t ring any bells from the previous search. Do you know anything about it?”He saw an empty horse mount coming in their direction and waved it.The mount stopped in front of them and they immediately climbed in the carriage. “Southeast Windlet Post Office.” He told the horse mount driver.Weaving the air barrier thicker, Claude replied. “I don’t. I’m a hunter, not a mercenary. How do you suppose I know these things?”Jai smiled shortly with a shrug. “Maybe? Ah… But this is a major progress in the case. At least we know he’s not dead, and it will take more effort to rescue him now.” Jai smiled.Claude stared at Jai suspiciously. “Why

They were led to a corridor which have several doors across from each other. Alex immediately knew they are resting rooms, because he could see a bed from one of the opened doors.One of the committees, the previous guy who shot the Cloud Viewing Rune in the ceremony, pulled his hood down, showing his blonde hair. Then he turned around while the other committees went past him, leaving him to deal with the new freshmen batch.“Good morning. My name is Liam. I am one of the guild members and I am one of the supervisors of the freshmen. Well, not really supervisor, but I’m the one they put in charge to look after you when the super seniors are out. Like right now. Oh and umm, I’m not alone. I have my friends with me to look after you. So please don’t do anything rash, because we outpower you by a lot. And we prefer not to hit you, because you’re a potential junior. Please be nice to each other, okay?”Alex didn’t really pay attention. He stopped listening when he uttered the fourth sente
The Last Thunder 604 – The ceremony
That morning on the day when Jai went to the Komatsu’s house, Alex had already settled in ‘the place’.He wasn’t familiar with the kingdom, as such, he didn’t know where he was taken to.And since he was late, he was grouped with those who were also late. Many eyes stared at him when he entered the room—it was an average room with beds—reserved only for those who arrived late.Apparently, those who arrived first had attended the ceremony and the first phase—and those who were late had to attend on their own. But they would be gathered together after that, and he would be able to meet his roommate. That was what Master Fu said yesterday when he dropped him off. But the old man wasn’t lying.He went through a sleepless night—because there were many others here that he didn’t know and he wasn’t keen on getting surprise attacked in the middle of his sleep. But the night went by uneventfully, fortunately.He and the others were given a tray of scone and tea to start the day. He didn’t eat

“Don’t. Test. Me.”Jai’s eyes glowed brighter for a second as he emphasized the last words.The civilians, of course flinched at his threat. All of them knew him as a humble and righteous young man. Always smiling and looked very kind. They never knew this side of him. That’s why they were very surprised. The Kizuato group wasn’t included though, they were there exactly to prevent Jai doing what he planned to do.Akane, who had have enough of her parents’ plan, stood up.“Akane-chan!” Rio tried to stop her, but she went anyway and spoke.But instead of retaliating at the guest in their house like the rest of her family, she was looking at her mother instead. “Just tell him, mother!”Rio frowned deep at her. “What are you saying, Akane?”Akane gritted her teeth. “Just tell him!! If you tell him, no one will be hurt!”Rio shut her mouth and swallowed, but she didn’t say anything.Akane looked at her mother with bewildered expression. “If you don’t, then I will.” She turned to Jai.
