Jai fluttered his eyes open slowly. He could see something white and light green in his blurry eyesight. He blinked his eyes slowly for a couple of times, trying to get the blurriness out of his eyes.
"Oh, you're awake now, are you? Good," a familiar voice asked beside him.
The voice was soft and a little bit cute. The tone was a bit insulting to his ear, but he detected the concern in the voice.
When his surroundings had become clear, he saw a familiar nun with curly twintails, right by beside him. Jai noticed a faint glow on his side and he turned to look, and that's when he felt the cool soothing feeling in his abdomen. He realized she was healing him. And he realized he was bare chest, but when he didn't see any visible scar on him, he relaxed.
"What have you gotten yourself into, thunder boy?" Asked the nun as she swiped her hands upwards to his chest. The soothing feeling moved slowly along her delic
Jai and Darrion walked to the dining room and was immediately greeted by a very heartwarming atmosphere.“Brother Jaai!!” the kids shouted cheerfully as they ran and hugged the thunder elemer.Jai chuckled and hugged them back, though his hands could not hug all of them at once. “Hello little friends. How are you this evening?”“Lovely.”“Hungry!”“Amazing now that you’re here!”Those were the replies the children gave him, making smiles and chuckles echoed in the dining room from the people adoring the kids.“You always smell good, Brother Jai,” Amy said while hugging his neck, trying her best to lean on him and savor his scent. He was kneeling on the floor and letting the kids swarmed him.“Yes! Brother Jai smells good! Like Brother Darrion!” Ina said, leaning on the s
The previous day want on quite calm because the previous day from it was the storm. People needed a break from the concern and fear when the hurricane struck. So today, the fifth day, went on with a little bit of business. As in, people were starting to get busy doing activities.For the winners of the tournament, today was the day they would be learning about basic healing and potion making. Both were equally waited by most of them, especially Jai and Darrion. The former was actually only for Jai, because he was very curious whether his element could somehow be used to heal or not. While the second one was what the both of them were very much waiting for, because there’s a chance of having the Blue Tip Fern needed for Galum’s parents’ antidote.“Do you think it’ll be there?” Jai asked as he put on his shirt.“I don’t know. All I know about it is the shipment and where they are distributed in the kingdom. But for what they are used for… I don’t really know. The
Despite re-learning the basic of medical treatments, the class was not that boring as everyone had thought. They got to improve their skills in basic treatment. Among them, Oki was the one enjoying the class very much because the Teacher Rissiya was there, along with some nuns that joined their group to help with the lesson. He didn’t even feel the sarcasmic burn Mac gave him after class by purposefully enjoying how jealous the peachy haired young man was. It was an interesting class.After class, they had lunch and were allowed to take short rest because their next teacher was not done with his class.“We have to give the teachers some activities before teaching you or they’ll be bored to death,” Carrola said before sipping on his tea. He had joined the participants in their table after lunch. Since they still had to wait for the teacher to finish the class, they decided to wait at the dining room with the monks and nuns that were having their lunch.They neve
“So… You are my next wave today, yeah?” Teacher Enji asked after Carrola had left. The teacher sat on his seat in front of the class with a plate of food and a glass of water on his desk.There was this unpredictable air around the man as he observed them with his unusual smirk and flat eyes. It was a rather mocking face if Jai had to say.“I want to start this class by saying that I’m hungry,” Teacher Enji said, eyeing the food in front of him with pumps of his eyebrows. And then he looked at the participants, and then there was silence.A few seconds passed and then the teacher said, “Wow. No one ask me why I said that?”The teacher was slightly frowning.The students turned to each other in reflex for a second, but someone immediately raised his hand. “Umm… Why are you hungry?” Ruhan asked.The teacher
The participants, no, students now that they’re in class, were asked to read a book of recipe as Teacher Enji explained about alchemistry. Each and every one of them in the room had their own interest in joining the class. It’s not that they do not have any before, but now they were much more interested.Firstly, Jai and Darrion. They were excited because the Blue-tip Ferns that they were looking for were lying on the ingredients table in the room. Back in the kingdom after the tournament, they promised to help Galum find an antidote for his parent’s sickness. And after some intense information gathering, they found out that the medicine for the sickness needs some Blue-tip Fern. Unfortunately, the ferns were uncommon and not really used for many medicines, thus, the demand for it was low and it didn’t have many crates in the market.However, Darrion found out that the military had a sudden need for it, and that they bought all of them in the market. This piqued Darr
"…mustn’t drink purified water directly,” the teacher said.“Wait a second. Why? Isn’t it clean already? You said it yourself, it’s purified,” Mugen asked.“Yeah my uncle ever said the same thing, but I never asked why,” Ugi added. “Is it still dirty somehow even though it looks clean enough for us to drink?”“That question is almost correct. You see, it’s because of the substance within it. Notice when I said purified water and not pure water. Pure water came from the water source which was already filtered by the mountain. The water underwent a natural filtering process and ended up becoming a river, or a waterfall. But purified water is the dirty water that we purified using purifier. That is not filtered naturally. It’s purified by adding something else. That is not healthy for us because there is an added essence inside it,” the teacher answered and explained slowly.“But how do you know the water you drink is pure or purified? They’re both cryst
An intelligent looking scholar had just left the Minister’s room. He was wearing a dark blue shirt with long sleeves that had white ruffle on the wrist parts. There was a big pattern of circular line with a single leaf in its center, and other faint leaf patterns printed in gold in a line near the hem. He was also wearing a long black silk pants and Chinese styled shoes.The good looking scholar closed the door before sighing. He looked tired and sleep deprived, indicated by the bags under his eyes.‘All that’s left is from Jai and Darrion. I hope they know where it had gone off to. But if they do, they would’ve told us and gave it back. Or maybe they don’t know how the artifact looks like, so they didn’t even notice that it was an important item? Oh mama, this is very complicated,’ Carrola thought to himself while pinching the bridge of his eyes. Even he didn’t know what artifact that was kept in here. He knew there was some kind of artifact kept in here, but he nev
Carrola opened the door to his room and entered. “You can enter. Please close the door after you.”Jai and Darrion then entered the room after Carrola and closed the door as requested.Carrola’s room was located in the Flower Wing and very much like the Minister’s room, but smaller. The furnitures were the same as those in the Minister’s room, with a desk and a small bookshelf beside it, a couch and an armchair with dark orange leather, a coffee table, and a wardrobe.It was quite baffling that his room could be in the Flower Wing where there should only be girls allowed, so Jai asked Carrola that.The charming scholar chuckled as he pulled out a book from the bookshelves. He then gestured them to the couch. “My room isn’t in the Flower Wing. It is still near the main hall, so you can say my room is before the entrance to the Flower Wing.”“So where does that makes your room at?” Darrion asked as he and Jai sat at the couch while Carrola sa
