084 – Pause
“I surrender.”
Raka stopped his attaks, but the crowds of people were shouting louder than before. They seemed to be conveying their disappointment that Jai chose to surrender instead of pushing on.
But the committee immediately took over the events and declared Raka as the winner.
Jai swallowed the non-existant lump in his throat once again as he tried to hold his agitation. His pride was hurt that he surrendered. But he remembered the reason he signed up for this competition. That's why he tried to live with it.
'Screw my pride. I'm not here for myself. I'm here for Miria,' Jai thought.
He tried to stand, but his hands and feet were trembling. He didn't feel the hot or cold pricks on his arms and feet anymore. But they were definitely warm and a bit numb. His head was still hurting as well, although the pain wasn't as much as before.
He then heard footsteps coming over t

"Wait! Are you sure you want to go on, Jai?" one of the medics asked in concern."Wrong question, madam. I absolutely want to go on," then he grunted as he tried to get up, "You should've asked me if I can."He propped his elbow and tried to push himself up. But his elbows were still quite numb, so eventually, he turned to Darrion and said, "Darrion, help me up."His friend sweat dropped, but he did as he was asked, and Jai thanked him."You can barely stand. Are you sure you can continue with the fight?" Nurse Lin asked, her brows were inclined together."I admit I don't know. But I have to can. I mean, be able to," Jai said with a sigh. "My friend is waiting for me back at the village. So I have to win this."Darrion looked at him weirdly and smiled, "We all want to win this, silly."Ruhan chuckled from his left, "Yes, we do. But, resting more is also go

“Jai, wake up,” Darrion shook his shoulder.“Mmm... Just a minute,” Jai mumbled softly.“No, not just a minute, not anymore minute, wake up.”The blonde softly slapped his cheeks multiple times. Luckily, Jai is not a heavy sleeper and only needed a few effort in waking him up. That also happened in his house when the thunder boy stayed for the night. Hence Darrion wouldn’t agree to Jai getting a bit of sleep before his battle.Jai fluttered his eyes open and sleepily looked around, “Where am I...?”He felt sore all over his body and he just want to rest.“In front of the greatest man alive,” Darrion answered without skipping a beat.Jai frowned, “Who?”“Me,” the blonde grinned while Jai gave him a raise of his eyebrow.“Come on! The battle’s almost over,” Darrion helped Jai to sit up. His friend needed some energy before the battle, and he wanted to
The Last Thunder 087 – Jai vs. Torfo
Torfo immediately took the first strike.He lurched a fire fist towards Jai from the side.Jai immediately dodged to the other side and raised his elbow to hit his face. But he saw the rising elbow and tilted his head to dodge it, but he was a few seconds late so it hit him in the jaw.Torfo grunted as the elbow reached his face. It made him stumble a few steps back and raised his own hands to touch the spot where it hit.He felt something he had never felt before. It was stinging, but there was something like small bites that was spreading lightly to his lips. It disappeared as quick as it appeared, but the aftermath of it was not as smooth as it first appeared.His side jaw was a bit numb now, and when he tried moving it, the small bites appeared for a few seconds before disappearing all completely.The white haired soldier looked at his opponent with slight disbelief.Jai s
The Last Thunder 088 - Hot Hot
The audience also shrieked in fear at the explosion, because the barrier faded away along with the explosion, and smoke started flooding in the audience box. A thud was heard too and a man screamed as something very hot hit his lap and fell to the ground."What is that?! Something fell on me!" The man screamed.The guards immediately rushed in and blew the smoke away with the wind. Soon, it was found out that Jai was the one fall in on the man's lap."Step aside, sir!" the guards said as they approached Jai. One guard knelt beside Jai while the others were struggling to stop the crowds from getting closer.Jai's eyes we're closed and his knuckles were clenched tightly."Jai, are you alright?" the guard tapped Jai's handshake lightly with his gloved hand.Jai's eyes opened slowly and immediately locked on him. The guard was surprised that he flinched back."A-Are
The Last Thunder 089 - More pudding
Cool breeze blew around Jai’s body. It should’ve been cool and soothing, but it’s not. Jai gritted his teeth and sucked in his breath, producing a sound that is a long letter S as he felt the stinging sensation on his skin.It reminded him of the time when he as still training with his grandfather. Every evening he would be uncomfortable to sit because of the bruises and blisters he got. His grandfather would give him an ointment to help reduce the pain, and the salve did help. But it stings when it was applied, even though it was cool and soothing later on.So maybe the feeling wasn’t the same after all. But the contrast might be the one that made him nostalgic for a little bit.Darrion sat by the bed on the side and looked at him with slight doubt and confusion. Then he turned to the medics who replaced him, “Hey guys, are you sure this is going to help him? He looked in pain.”
The Last Thunder 090 - Quick Snack
The sky’s color gradually turned orange and the sun would soon meet the horizon. The day was almost over and so was the two weeks long tournament.The last battle had just been called to an end. Some people were disappointed, but some were also happy for different reasons.Some were happy because their idol won the battle. Some were shouting cheerfully and passionately for their idol in hope to get noticed. And some people were happy with the amazing performances that they had never (possibly for some people) seen in their life.When the battle ended, some of them had already stood up from their seats to leave the arena. But the MC immediately shout out an announcement that made them stop, and eventually, sat back down.“There has been some mixed up, but the committee just accumulated the battles and it seemed that there is one more pair of participants that have the same score. So there will be one more battle, and this will be the

"Lara, I'm thirsty... Can I have some of your tea?" A girl asked her friend beside her."Oh sorry Lessy... I've drank all of it," the girl called Lara looked at Mia apologetically."Oh... It's okay," Lessy shrugged. Then she turned again to the arena, watching the windlets doing some performances and somersaulting in the sky."Don't worry, Lessy. We are all waiting for him, it's not going to be boring soon," Lara hugged her from the side and patted her shoulder.Lessy smiled, "How do you know I got bored? Did you read my mind or something?"Lara giggled, "I'm your best friend. Of course I know what you're thinking. Oh look, Reila is looking to the sidelines again and she’s not looking back."She pointed at the bird beast in the arena.Lessy tuned out what the MC was saying and noticed it too, “Oh yes… What is she looking at?”

He tried checking again the groceries he had bought to make sure nothing was skipped.He folded his fingers one by one as he listed the ingredients that his mom had requested."Potato... Tea leaves... Blue grass... Toriri chicken... I guess that's all?" He smiled.An old woman who was watering the plants in her garden saw him walking by, then she waved her hand."Hello, Little Dari. Groceries for Darisha, dear?"Darrion smiled brightly and waved back to the kind lady, "Hello, Grandma Ilya! Bright morning isn't it? Oh yes, this is my mother's."He said, bringing up the dark green bag full of ingredients.The lady sneaked a peek inside Darrion's bag."Blue grass? What does Darisha need it for? Tea?" the old lady asked."Oh..." Darrion chuckled. "Yes. My friend
