087 – Jai vs. Torfo
Last Updated:
2021-01-31 19:57:39Torfo 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.

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

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 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?

She still cooks and cleans, but she was starting to get easily tired. Wen’s mom told me she is sleeping twice in daytime now. So I told her to only cook and let the cleaning chores to Wen’s mom or let it be until I got home,” Barun answered with his eyes slightly downward.“What is Miria suffering from, uncle?”Barun frowned, “Ice inflictions... The doctor was not sure what sickness it is, so he called it that.”Darrion frowned, “Ice inflictions? What are the symptoms?”“There were no symptoms. But sometimes when it acted up, Miria gets tired real fast and she feels very cold. She said it’s just how one would catch a cold, but there’s no warmth felt at all. Just plain... Cold.”This was the first time Jai heard ab

Jai was grateful that the Minister and the Princess were there to 'escort' him. Because as they got closer to the square, there were much more merchandise that represented him, thus, having more people crowding it wanting to buy for themselves.He knew how those popular people back in the previous world were loved by their fans. And at that time, he could only think that being idolized by someone must be an incredible feeling. He had only ever be idolized by little kids back at the karate club near his home, and even that, he was already very happy.But now that he had many people idolizing him, and the fact that many of himself were being put up for purchase, he didn't know how to react.It actually felt quite nice if the fans were like Madam Serena or Madam Rue, they were subtle. But he was a little bit, just a little bit, cautious for the hardcore ones.'Thankfully, it hasn't happened,' Jai was really gratefu

When Jai walked on the stage, the audience clapped their hands for him, whistling, and shouted his name. All of them were congratulating him for winning the third position.Jai felt a warm feeling spreading from his core, and he’s sure it wasn’t the little lightning. Winning something with your own effort and congratulated for it did feel very good.Jai approached the MC who was standing in the middle of the stage. Reala the bird immediately tried rubbing her head on Jai's head like their previous meetings, but he stopped her."Sorry, Reala. My hair looks good right now and I don't want to mess with it. You can rub your head on my shoulder instead," Jai nervously said.The bird chirped tilted her head a bit and stared at him for a few seconds. Jai thought she didn’t understand what he just said, but then she chirped softly and rubbed her head on his upper arm instead. It seemed like she respected Jai's rej

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
The Last Thunder 606 – Arrangement
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.
