Torfo blasted his flame right after Teacher Grenner had finished talking. But that wasn't that surprising to Jai. They might have only fought once, but he had watched the young soldier fought a couple times in the tournament. So he was a bit familiar with the soldier's movements.
He instinctively dodged to the side so the flame shot missed him completely. But that didn't seem to stop Torfo at all, because he fired more flame shots.
Jai dodged some of them too, but he shot his lightning right towards the next flame shot. It went straight through the shot and Jai had to dodge again to avoid the fire coming right at him. But the shots had stopped.Jai turned his head to look at Torfo, and saw the guy was touching his right upper arm. Jai didn't know what happened so he turned to the others in hope anyone would say anything.
The first to speak was of course, the teacher.
"Are you okay, fire guy?" Grenner asked.
Torfo's adam's
A very adorable meow that is cute and adorable came from the one and only, Usha, the small white kitten and Jai's only connection with the previous world. This little kitten should've been a very good battle pet if it wasn't small and vulnerable. Also the fact that it's under age.The adorable feline gave a long meow, rubbing its head towards Miria who was currently sitting on her bed and knitting."Nyaaaww~" Usha said, the edge of his jade blue eyes glimmering as if he was up to something."What is it Usha?" Miria asked without turning her attention away from knitting. She didn't want to be distracted or she would have to undo all the way if there's even a single knot fail."Nyaro?" Usha said again. This time, he climbed up to Miria's folded legs and looked up at her."Yes, Usha... I'm here," Miria said, still not looking at his direction.Usha raised his ri
"Once upon a time," a voice started in the darkness. "The people from the ancient times depended on the sun to give them light, only moving when the sun is out. But after dusk... Moon was their only friend," the voice told. Loneliness and sadness pitched from the tone to make the atmosphere slightly weary.Suddenly, there was a faint white light making the shape of a crescent. The audiences expressed their 'ooh's and 'aah's, entertained from the sudden cinematic effect.And then the voice continued. "The moon shone their way and kept them alert from all the dangers that the night time has... It was their only friend in the dark."One of the small orphan girls leaned to her friends beside her. "Why is there only one moon?" she whispered.Her friends shook their head. "I don't know. I thought our moon is two?""Maybe they forgot the other one," one of the girls joined in.The girl who asked before didn't seem satisfied with the answe
Darrion rubbed his stomach and sighed satisfyingly. "I'm full!"Some boys imitated him and also said. "I'm full!"Some of the participants chuckled and Jai smiled at their behavior.They just finished having dinner with the kids. The original long table did not fit for everyone, so they had to sit on the ground. The monks had moved the tables and benches to the side to make room, and everyone had dinner on the floor. Of course the nuns had prepared some wide carpets for their seat.The participants and the children sat in a big circle in the middle, joined by the Minister, the Abbess, the Abbot, Matron Theresa, the teachers, also some older monks and nuns. It was a big dinner.Jai commended the mausoleum people for doing this, because he sort of noticed they did this for the kids and also the participants. They saw how the participants interacted with the kids, and they deemed it would be okay for a big dinner.
Awaiting is not very comfortable, especially if you're in a bunch of kids that's as scared as you are of what's about to happen."What should I do, Gito? I've only drank seven cups of water," whispered Piko, the timing boy with glasses.He stood closer to his brother and held onto his brother's upper arm.Gito turned to him and took his brother's hand in his. He managed a smile towards his brother."It's alright. At least you drink seven already. That's a good thing," Gito said. His tone was calm, although there was a slight change in the middle that reflected his actual feelings.Piko frowned and pouted, just like the other kids around him. "But Brother Jai said to drink eight glasses..."Gito gulped and didn't know how to respond. He was actually also a bit weary. But he got his brother to depend on him, so he shouldn't feel the same thing as his brother. Him and Hans had been the one th
Since Raka, Torfo, Ugi, Mugen and Bara chose to stay at their rooms or do whatever it is they wanted to do, the rest five joined the Minister for a night outing. They asked permission to the guards and left the Falcon Gate. They walked past the pedestals that were now shining brighter than previously they returned. Jai saw the white fire had become slightly bigger and now filling the entire inside container of the pedestals."Didn't you guys say you're tired and can't wait to sleep?" A certain orange head asked after they passed the pedestals."Weren't you the one complaining a lot about when's the show gonna end?" Jai replied him with a question."And the one who messed up his own water element introduction and had to be hit on the head so the show could go on," Darrion added.Oki snickered and Ruhan tried holding his laughter.The Minister raised his eye brows. "Oh so that's what the smack was?"Both Jai and Darrion chuckled and then Darri
"Bed time story!!" shouted Hans while holding a picture book that has a green dragon and a white bird on the cover. The title said: The Scale and The Feather."Yes! Bedtime story!" shouted Ina."Bedtime stowreeey~!!" the others sang excitedly.The Matron chuckled and took the book from Hans' hands."Ventusien tonight? You must be loving this story so much, don't you Hans?" The Matron kindly said.Hans grinned and nodded, his pale blonde hair swayed as his head moved."Do any of you wants one more story?" The Matron asked as she went to the small shelf beside one of the kid's bed."No thank you, Mama. I think that one is fine," one of the girls said."You can read anything for me, Mother. I just want to go to sleep," Amy said, already lying on her bed and putting her head on the pillow.One of the girls looked at her and smiled knowingly. "Yeah, and dream about Brother Jai~"Amy looked at her and threw her pillow at h
Kent's eyes flickered open slowly. The familiar gray cobblestone wall that looked very well smoothened immediately appeared in front of him.'Why do my body feels tired?' Kent suddenly thought.He groaned softly before turning his body to the other side, overlooking his room. His back was tired, his hands were tired, his feet were tired... It was as if his whole body’s tired.“Maybe I’m too old…” Kent muttered to himself. “I’m not exactly as spirited as my fellow Matilda.”Abbott Kent groaned again as he got up. He then looked at the tall grandfather clock in the right wall, right beside the couches, and saw that it was a quarter to eight. He slept quite well and he woke up like usual around these hours, but he felt more tired today.It made him slightly afraid and sad that any of these days, his fragile back would give away. He would have to find a replacement soon. He wasn’t actually pry for his ag
A loud shriek pierced the sky as a spreading white lightning exploded with an indignation bang."Ah!" Jai gasped, bending his body over as he was out of breath."One more time, Jai," Teacher Sora said calmly while fanning himself slowly. His long white hair and long white beard swayed lightly from the gentle breeze.Jai gulped and raised his index finger towards the older man."One (heave) minute..." Jai choked out, before he caught his breath again.Teacher Sora hummed briefly. "Very well. You look like you need a breather," the teacher said with a small smile.Jai, with those droplets of sweat flowing from his face and down to his chin and neck, silently thanked him in his heart. Because he couldn't afford to say anything right now."Finally, some calm..." Mac whispered.Someone chuckled from his side. Acertain blue haired young man who was dressed in a firm robe and looked like a wandering scholar."His noise is supposed t
