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.”

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.

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.

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?

093 – Surprising bodyguard“How is Miria?” Jai asked as they walked to the main square.“She is alright. I asked her to not do anything too heavy for her. 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
The Last Thunder 094 - Closing ceremony
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
The Last Thunder 095 - The Prize
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 096 - Refusal
The MC stared at Jai with wide eyes. He then made sure to turn off his echo so that no one can hear what he was discussing with Jai.“Why would you refuse the prize, Jai?” Relii asked in deep concern.Jai waved his hand lightly, “Oh it’s not all the prize. I’ll take the money, but I refused the guard position.”Relii shook his head in disbelief, “Alright uhh… Why would you refuse that position?”“Because I’m not interested,” Jai answered simply.Relii’s eyebrows were knitted together by now. He was very confused to why would Jai refuse the position that many people would want.“But it’s a very good opportunity! You’ll be taught by the Captain and the Major, and you’ll be included in the special force!”Jai tried telling him again. He made sure to keep his normal smile and talk slowly.“Yes, but… I’m just not interested. I want to go exploring, and I don’t think being a guard allows me to do that.”The MC paused for

And then Reila the flower bird appeared with her beautiful voice.The competition had finally come to an end, and everyone left the arena with satisfied belly—heart.Jai, Darrion, and the other winners were then gathered with the committees. The committees told them about how their training would be.“There’s a sudden climate change in the training grounds. We have to make sure your dorm there is ready for your stay, so it will be postponed and held in three days. Also, we are waiting for Mac to return,” the head of the committee, Ganshu, said.
