Torfo clenched and unclenched his fist. His teeth gritting against each other behind his closed lips. His eyes constantly darted to the unconscious young man on the makeshift bed on the floor and his white knuckles. He was angry.
'Why did father want you to come with me? Why do I have to bring you here? You humiliated me in front of these highly esteemed people,' The white haired young man thought as he looked towards the unconscious man in anger.
His mind was racing as he thought of the reason why his assistant did something like this.
He hit the desk lightly a few times, trying his very best to hold back his anger.The door opened and the teachers and the Minister walked in. Torfo took a deep breath and tried to be calm. He then looked up and met the gaze of the Minister.
The teachers sat down in the benches around while the Minister took a seat across from him in the front of the room.
"Torfo," the Minister greeted. His signature smile
The third day passed with a very hectic event. Everyone in the mausoleum worked hard. Monks, nuns, teachers, also the winners of the tournament. They tried their best in managing the peaceful environment and the security in the mausoleum. The storm was hard on everyone, and everyone was spent. But two certain winners of the tournament was the most spent of them all.The helped in catching the thief even though they weren’t asked to. They weren’t even involved in the first place. But their inner heart could not stand knowing that there is a possibility of children being the burnt end of the match. So they involved themselves. They took it upon themselves to protect the children and their mother even though they weren’t asked to. They were caught in the end, but instead of getting an earful, they were asked to help in continuing what they were doing.It was seriously just a coincidence that they caught the real culprit. Of course, suspicion was thrown, but it was also with
While the participants were studying, there was another activity going on in another room. It was a certain activity involving the problem that had been going on in the mausoleum lately.Yaju’s consciousness was triggered when he felt his feet freezing. He got up with a jolt and immediately retracted his feet.“Cold!” he shouted.The nun who was tending him retracted as well and the guards were instantly on alert. One of them pulled the nun back behind them and raised their weapons towards the young man on the ground.Yaju gradually gained his awareness as he rubbed on his feet to make them warm. He noticed he was on a pile of puffy leathers that could be considered as a makeshift bed, on the floor. He then looked around, finding that there were four other people in the room and they were all looking at him. He knew one of the people, though, and he wished he wasn’t here.“Finally up, hm?” a heavy and ruffy, but masculine, voice asked.Yaju gazed
Jai and Darrion put their heads on the table and sighed loudly. Ruhan was looking at them with a smile, Mac was looking at them with a smirk, and the others were also smiling looking them.“You two eat like a bull,” Mac commented. His comment made the rest of them laugh, even Raka was smiling.They were having a short break from Teacher Rissiya's class. Carrola was already there outside of their class to escort them to the dining room where there were already some snacks prepared. Except for Jai and Darrion who skipped breakfast, they were prepared two servings of food each.“It’s not usual for us to have a short rest in a class,” Ugi mentioned as he munched on his cookies."Must be because of these two skipping breakfast," Oki patted his fellow windlet's back and earned a chuckle from the blonde.“Well, whatever the reason is, I’m not complaining,” Mugen said as he munched on his own bread.“Me neither,” Bara laughed before he continued eat
The participants were collected and escorted back to their classroom. True to Raka's words, Jai and Darrion regained their full awareness before entering the classes. They no longer felt sleepy, but they did feel embarrassed from their initial behavior.The others just laughed them off.Teacher Russia was already there waiting for them with a cup of tea. The pretty teacher put her cup down and greeted them for the second time today."Good morning to mid noon, my students. How are your snacks?" Teacher Rissiya asked nicely, her soft jingling voice melted the boys into jellos."I hope you are charged this time. Because we will be learning more about your element's nature. We have water and win for the first half of our class this morning, now we will move on to earth and fire. And of course, since we have a thunder elemer in the class, let's put him into good use," the kind teacher was smiling very sweetly like she was enjoying her class.
"So where do you want to go?" Oki asked Darrion as they walked side by side in front of the group.Darrion hummed as he looked up. "I think we could separate the group first. I mean, with a group this big, we will attract unwanted attention.""You mean something like that?" Mac gestured to the side.The group stopped and looked to their right where a group of nuns and children were giggling while looking at them.One of the kids, a girl to be exact, stood up. With a flower crown in hand, she jumped over the stone steps in the middle of the river."Ina!" they called her, worried she might slipped her foot on accident.But she didn't fall nor even stopping. She crossed the river and ran towards the participants, particularly towards a young man. The young man knew she was running at him, so he crouched down and opened his arms for her."Brother Jai!" she greeted excitedly when they hugged.Jai chuckled and picked
This was initally agreed as just a slight stroll. When Darrion suggested that they went out for a stroll, they agreed because they were quite bored inside the mausoleum and that they needed some fresh air. Although they had gotten out in the previous day. But yesterday was for class, not to enjoy themselves.It was also a perfect timing because today was quite an easy day and they were allowed the rest of the day for themselves. So they tried to enjoy it to the fullest.Jai's group walked until they reached a bridge, which they knew exactly well from their second day of class. They walked while talking to each other, and they shared the story of Teacher Grenner fishing in the river to Ina and Hans. The boy laughed hard at how silly their teacher was while the little girl giggled. Jai had told them that the teacher insisted they eat the dishes that the teacher had caught while the teacher actually didn't."But you thundered the fish. It should be yours isn't it,
Jai peeked again from behind the tree, noticing the lizards were getting closer. The beasts were still tens of meters, but if his group stayed still for another two or three minutes, he's not sure whether they can run away or not.He was not trying to exaggerate. Because he remembered his first encounter with these creatures when he was out here with Kefara. They were fast despite their big bodies, and pretty durable. Anyone would need weapons to beat these creatures. And Jai was lucky the other day that he got to stun one of them and ran away.Jai returned behind the tree and asked the kids, "Ready?"Hans and Ina nodded with a smile.Jai smiled. "Great. Don't worry. It's just going to be like a game of tag.""But the ones 'it' are the lizards," Hans said jokingly.Jai chuckled. "Yes. They are the ones 'it'. Alright. We're a go."Jai then gave the signal to the others. The others nodded in silence and commenced with the plan.Ok
"JAAAIII!!" He heard the guys calling for him.The thunder elemer was busy landing electric punches towards the lizard that became his opponent. They had been at it ever since they baited them away from each other to better the fight. Either Bara or Jai knew that Oki would help them once he get his breath back, they just have to stall. And this was what Jai was doing too.The lizard screeched loudly and opened its jaw widely towards Jai. But he dodged the bite to the side and jumped back.Hearing the call from his friends, he stepped around the lizard slowly as if assessing it.'They're calling for me. Are they done? I guess two people are enough to take down this thing. I'll wait for them to come and help me,' Jai thought. Little did he know that they were actually the ones needing help. But Jai was so positive they could beat and had taken down this creature on their side, so he didn't respond anything to their call. He knew that he didn't have to
