“Hey, I’m going outside for a bit of air, want to join?” Naoki asked Torfo after he wiped his mouth with a napkin.
“No, thank you. I have an appointment with Teacher Sora for some review lessons,” Torfo said.
Naoki smiled as he looked at him. “Look at you. Always busy. Come on, don’t you want to spend time with your friend after so long?”
“But… I’ll accompany you after that. It’s just for an hour,” Torfo said.
“We’ll go with you, Naoki. Jai and I need some air anyway,” Darrion said after swallowing his food.
Torfo looked like somebody who just got a million dollar stolen from him. His eyes were wide as he looked at Jai beside Naoki. “You’re not coming with.”
Jai raised his eyebrow in slight confusion. ‘Did he really just ask me that?’
“Why wouldn’t I come? My friend invited me. I need some air,” Jai replied.
The look on Torfo’s face was… Indescribable. His
A loud smack could be heard in the garden.“OWW!! What was that for?!” Jai yelled at the blonde in front of him. He looked at his friend in slight annoyance and rubbed his own head where the blonde had slapped him. He was walking in the garden, trying to calm his own train of nerve when suddenly he was smacked on the back of his head.He didn't know why his friend did it, but he's certainly not enjoying the surprise at all.“For being an idiot!” Darrion replied, equally annoyed.'Oh that's why... Wait, what?'Jai’s eyebrows crossed. “I stood up for us!”“You said it just came out of your mouth!” Darrion replied.Jai parted his lips to counter but stopped halfway. He could only open and close his mouth like a fish, but he couldn’t make any comeback. He eventually sighed and looked away.“I don’t know what I was saying… I just realized it after I said it,” Jai said helplessly.“Then why did you continue the rant? You even listed w
"Is being a thunder elemer... A bad thing?" Jai asked.His question should be easy to answer, but Darrion and Naoki were weirdly quiet. It was because they didn't know what he was thinking that made him think like that. They were just talking about Torfo.Since he didn't know what Jai was saying, Naoki voiced out his confusion. "Why do you think so?"Jai raised his head to look at their left, to the cliff. It attracted them to look to the left also. They could see rock formations about a mile away, the mausoleum, and the air dock. They knew because they could see the huge gate with relief and a ship that was docked there.There were some lights that were placed in different spots on the ship, and they way they were placed was the one telling them there was a ship there.The silence stayed for thirty seconds before the middle man broke it."I don't know," Jai said, looking at his own hands. "It's just... It feels wrong somehow. Like, I shouldn'
"The White Lady lives in the mountain with her two guardians. It is said that one kid was ever lost in the forest and accidentally met her. The kid was tired from walking around with no clue where to go, so he rest under a tree and fell asleep. He was woken up by the sound of something he had never heard before. Almost like the sound of when his mother was ironing his clothes," Naoki told them.'Ironing clothes?' Jai frowned. In the previous world, he lived alone, so he did everything by himself even laundry. That means he also did the ironing by himself. He even bought a decent iron suggested by the kind lady next door to iron his clothes better. It wasn't until she told him that iron has different quality that he knows different quality irons exist. At first, he thought irons were the same every where. Made of irons, has induction properties, electric, and can be used to soften clothes. He didn't know that the metals used, the surface of it to be exact, had to be of cert
Like the previous day, Jai and Darrion went over their plan again for getting the fern. Now that they knew the fern was indeed here for usage, they were trying their best to focus on potion making.Since Jai had never made any potions before yesterday’s class, Darrion had been the one teaching him about potions and alchemy mix that he knew. It was not more than a novice because it wasn’t his expertise at all, but Darrion tried.“From what I’ve gathered back in the kingdom, Blue-tip Fern has some kind of cold property inside it. Almost like the cold stone used by blacksmith. Somehow I’m guessing from the blue tip of it,” Darrion said with his eyes looking upwards slightly, seemingly thinking.Jai didn’t know what cold stone is, so he tried remembering the fern in the class instead. It was like the mini version of a coconut tree leaf. It was green in color from the base, but gradually turning blue from the middle of the leaf to the tip. It was around a forearm lo
“Hey Darrion, what does this Cold Drink do again?” Jai asked.Darrion, who was busy cutting up the fern, stopped for a while to tell his friend. But he frowned when he saw what Jai was doing. “You’re reading it.”Jai then read the recipe in his hands. “Cold Drink is used to cool down your high temperature body. It can also be sued to treat first degree burn. If you mix it with honey and red herb, you can treat a second degree burn. The recipes. Blue-tip Fern, Herb, Salt, Fall Four Seasons leaves, Barley Tea leaves, Blue Slime essence, and water. Wait, slime? Is this real? People are drinking this?”Jai was visibly confused. He didn’t know slimes can even be consumed.Darrion got back to cutting the fern. “I think it’s used to strengthen the fern effect.”Jai looked at his friend who seemed normal by what he was bewildered at. “You eat slimes?”Darrion looked at him, stopping his cutting once again. Then the blonde blinked. “Jai, slimes are del
Darrion took a step back and re-read the recipe. "Wait, wait. I thought I read that salt part here, in the beginning. You read it too, didn't you? Right..."The blonde read it once again to make sure that his eyes were playing with him. And then he found the salt part and pointed it to Jai."Here, isn't it? It says salt. And you even read it again to make sure we don't miss a thing like I did just now," the blonde asked, looking at Jai with a deep frown.Jai looked at the recipe again and narrowed his eyes. Then he grimaced. "Well... I thought I see it, but now I think it just slipped my sight. I read that the Four Seasons leaves were put in, and I think I mistook seeing salt because the list was right beside it before it continued downward. I glanced at it again when you put in the leaves, and realized that we're wrong."Jai took the recipe from Darrion and showed it to him. "Here, take a look at this."
Jai frowned as he looked at the recipe and the brewing pot back and forth. Then he shook his head lightly."I don't understand... This should be one hundred degree celcius. Microorganisms shouldn't be able to live. Except water bear, of course. They survived in space, of course they would survive in one hundred degree celcius hot water. So why would we need... Hmm..."Darrion, who was pouring the Four Seasons leaves brew into the filter, turned his face slowly towards him and looked at him like he had just grown three heads. "What the hell are you talking about?"Jai turned to Darrion with that still bewildered expression. "Umm..."Darrion ignored Jai's stammer and put down the pot. "Now clean the pot with the salt."Jai blinked. "Why did you make me do that?""Cause you're the one who asked the teacher about it, so you do it. I've never clean any wares with salt before," Darrion said, putting
“—squeeze! There you go! You’ve leveled up from clothes squeezer into herb squeezer, congratulations,” Mac said without any bright tone despite his words being one.“Your sarcasm knows no bounds,” Jai commented while putting away the herb he had squeezed to the bowl they used for the leaves before. His partner and Mac’s partner were grinning on the sides watching their exchange.“That’s still mild sarcastic. If you want the worse one, I can give you here right now,” Mac offered, taking away the bowl of leaf remains under the table.“No thanks, I think I know,” Jai replied.Mac shrugged. And then a boom could be heard from the table in front of them and a white smoke arose from in front of Bara. It attracted the attention of everyone in the class and all wondered what happened.Bara coughed up smoke from his m
