141 - A Hunch
Jai entered the main hallway of the building and entered the dining area. There was always a nun or a monk standing by in case anyone’s hungry after their shift. Jai never saw the dining room lacking people, so he assumed that these monks and nuns had their own shift in doing their activities in the mausoleum.
He could hear familiar voices when he entered, and noticed that the children were already awake and currently eating. One of them, Hans, noticed him immediately when he glanced at the door.
“Brother Jai!!” Hans greeted while raising his fork of mushroom.
The rest of the children’s attention turned to him. “Brother Jai!” they greeted.
“Hey kids,” Jai smiled and stopped by their table.
It felt the same as lunch, but the difference was that the Matron was there this time.
“Good evening, Jai,” the Matron greeted.
Jai inclined his head in respect and smil

Yaju ran while limping. He was in a hurry that he forgot to put on some shoes. The only thing on his mind right now was to escape quietly.'I can't go to the docks. I won't get far with this wound. And the guards would spot me right away. So where should I go?' the dark haired guy thought. He needed to be fast, but he needed to be careful.Then he got an idea. He didn't know if it's going to work, but it was the only thing in his mind right now. So he kept on limping forward.He saw Jai's back not too far ahead and then he saw the guy turned left into the dining room. He hurriedly walk down the hallway, trying to ignore his injured feet.The guard near the kitchen door spotted him immediately and noticed his funny walk."Hey young man, are you alright? You don't look good," the guard immediately approached him.He stopped like a deer in headlight. His mind racing as he tried to find an excuse.He was still sweating and it was seen ver

Jai hurriedly walk back to the participants’ dorm and knocked on Raka's door. Raka immediately opened the door.“Jai,” Raka greeted briefly.Jai nodded in response before telling him. "The guy's not in the bathroom. I'm going to ask Darrion to help me find him, can you–""–it's alright, Jai. I've calmed down. It's alright to let him be for now," Raka said.Jai blinked for a few seconds, but then he shook his head. "Wait, what do you mean?”“Let’s just wait until he comes back. He might be looking for someone to help with his sickness, but I’m sure he’ll come back. I’ll wait him here before I question him about his actions to my cousin,” Raka said. The guy said it calmly like how he usually interacts with people. He was different from the serious person he saw just a few minutes ago.He’s only been gone for around three minutes. But that’s not the point.“Yes, that. Can you look out if he ever comes back to the dorm?” Jai asked, to which Raka nodde

Darrion rolled his eyes at his friend.“Yeah, yeah. So, I’ll try asking the wind. Do you have any specific question in mind? So that I can focus on certain words they say,” Darrion said.“Wait, before that. I want to ask,” Jai said. Darrion raised both of his eyebrows, gesturing him to continue. “How exactly do you communicate with the wind? You ever told me that they talk to you and you listen to them, but you didn’t exactly say how they really ‘talk’ to you.”“Why does this seem very familiar?” Darrion looked up and put his hand under his chin, looking as if he was in thought.“What is?” Jai asked.Both young men were too preoccupied by their own discussion that they didn’t notice little Ina snuck up beside them. She was looking between the two of them back and forth, listening to their conversation. When Darrion hummed as a response to Jai’s question, Ina took that as a chance to speak up.“What are you two talking about?” Ina asked innocen

Yaju tossed his body to the side. His body felt hot and it was making his sleep uncomfortable.“Mmrh,” he grunted.The heat was only on the side of his stomach at first. It was when he was still in his room.It started out as warm, like a cozy warm blanket wrapping around his stomach. It felt slightly nice because the air suddenly felt cold. But then it started getting hotter and hotter, and eventually, it spread all over his body like a fire in a forest. His entire body was soon burning. And it didn’t feel like the usual fever to him.Yaju tossed his body around again. His brows were frowning and his face, full of sweat. Eventually, he woke up with his body feeling very hot and burning. He opened his eyes wide because it felt like blazing fires of hell were lit inside.He swiped his hand under his chin to wipe the sweat away. His adam’s apple was moving up and down as he swallowed in his dry throat nothing other than his tiny bit of saliva. His temper

Yaju walked faster after he entered the main hallway of the Falcon Wing. His body had cooled down a bit, which he greatly appreciated. Although not entirely, because he was still feeling hot. Clearly, his fever had not come down at all. But lesser heat in this situation was a blessing to him. He was able to hurry his pace walk more normally.However, he had to slow his pace a bit near the dragon statue. Because there are monks and nuns around the statue, also adventurers. This made him frown.“Why are there so many people in here? It’s even more crowded than yesterday,” Yaju whispered to himself.This time, he was not exaggerating, it was indeed crowded. And it got even more so when he entered the restaurant. No one was allowed in or out, and there were already a crowd to begin with. But he didn’t know that, because he was in his room all day today. He missed whatever announcement there was. In addition, he only passed by here when the participants passed

“Is this all, Mac?” an old man asked after checking the crates inside the wooden cart.“Yes, sir. I think we’ll be able to sell some delicious lettuce next week. The fertilizers you brought us were very useful, they made the foliage looks delicious to munch. Sadly it’s not harvest time yet. I really wanted to try them out too,” Farmer Mac said.The old man chuckled. “It’s thanks to Jai. We got some reliable suppliers because of his reputation. These fertilizers were a recommendation of his friend’s mother, she knew the best.”Farmer Mac sighed. “Oh Barun, you got a very nice son-in-law.”Barun narrowed his eyes at the farmer. “Careful Mac.”Farmer Mac nervously scratched the back of his head."Well I'm coming home for a bit to tell Miria I'll be leaving the village for a while," Barun said."Alright. I'll wheel this to the entrance for you," Farmer Mac said. Then he turned to a young man lying on too of the stacks of hay."Wen! Let's
The Last Thunder 148 – Usha, Visit (3)
An hour earlier, a certain small white kitten was sitting by a river. It was munching on a fish it had just caught with gusto. The fish was not that big in human standard. It's just a small sized fish with silver scale and thin body. But it was a satisfying lunch for the furball knowing the size of his stomach.Usha licked around his lips once he's done eating, leaving only the head and the tail untouched.'Fish head and tail are yucky,' the little one thought while looking at the fish bone. He then pushed it lightly with his paw towards the river. The fish bone fell into the river and floated away with the water current.The kitten licked his paws and rubbed his own head, trying to clean the fishy smell off from him. But the smell somehow got stronger.'I smell more fish,' the kitten thought in confusion.He decided to wash his own face in the bank of the river. The river was not that deep, but he would easily be washed away if he reached the middl

Rugard walked back to the cart with the little kitten in his arms."What was it?" Barun asked when the middle aged man approached.Rugard showed the little kitten to Barun like the baboon held the baby lion on top of the weird rock formation.Barun blinked once after seeing the little kitten calmly looking back. "Oh hi, kitten," Barun finally said after pausing a few seconds."He surprised me, but he's the one who fell back," Rugard said, putting the kitten inside the cart, just in the front part where there's a small spot enough for the kitten to sit and relax."Usha surprised you?" Barun mocked.Rugard held the cart's hands before frowning at the old man. "He suddenly jumped in front of me.""Silly human got scared," Usha commented.Rugard looked at the little furball while frowning. Although he could only hear the small cat meowing, he could feel the cat mocking him. "Hey, you're the one who fell back right away. Don
