2021-06-13 21:35:00Dinner went on normally. And it was time for the evaluation. The participants were brought to a room in the Flame Wing, the one across from the children's room. All the teachers came to attend, also Carrola and the Minister himself.
It was an evaluation, so everyone had the chance to speak up. The teacher went first, and each participant was discussed. It was not a berating or a harranging, but it was jist like the meeting called: An Evaluation.
The participants were given the points they had a chance to work on, notes on their skills, and encouragement on certain things they could do to get better.Each and every teacher gave their notes to each participants, with Radcliffe being that last to comment as per his own request.
Jai thought that Radcliffe would be on a small rampage on the notes, but he wasn't. The teacher was very professional and only spoke what he needed to say about certain points they were still lacking. Furthermore, he gave ea

The next morning, the participants woke up early. The Minister didn’t specify the time, but they did wake up like they usually do in the morning. Carrola was already there in the morning to tell them to start getting ready. The scholar was also there to pick Jai up for his request last night.When Jai was talking with the Minister, he also asked for permission in taking the leftover herbs from their alchemy class. He knew Teacher Enji permitted him to take it, but asking the Minister was more official.“Of course, I’ll tell the committee to pack it up for you. Are you interested in alchemy, Jai? I can have you join the academy at any time and recommend the best teacher for you if you want,” the Minister asked.Jai almost forgot the committees were coming with them here, but he didn’t see them anywhere for the past week. But maybe that was just Jai not noticing them. But then he was intrigued

“Brother Jai!!” Ina cried into his shirt.Since there was a sudden little reunion, the participants stopped walking. It was when they reached the second chamber that Ina crashed into Jai and surprised them all with her echoing high pitched voice.All of them saw the little one buried her face into Jai’s hips, refusing to let him go even after her blonde sibling tried to take her away.Jai nodded to Hans, who was trying to get his sister away, and mouthed to him ‘It’s alright’. Hans nodded and stepped back to give them time.Jai rubbed her head softly. “Good morning, Ina,” he greeted warmly. Darrion took the sack from his hand so he could give the little girl more attention. Jai knelt down to look at her in the same height. “Did you get a good sleep last night?”He tried to soften his tone and not make her more stressed t

Darrion put on the gloves and examined it on his hands. A smile crept up to his face when he turned his hands around to see the gloves on his hand. "Wow, these Hunting Gloves are cool!""How do you know they're called Hunting Gloves? They look like ordinary gloves to me," Jai examined his own gloves on his hands."They're sold at the kingdom too but with a higher price. My mother had a thought of buying one for me once, but since I'm not into hunting, she didn't," Darrion said, clapping his hands to feel the gloves' texture.Jai suddenly remembered he wasn't in a modern time civilization, so hunting creatures for food should still exist here. That made him curious on many things. And now since they had nothing better to do on the ship, he decided to ask some questions."Hey, Darrion. Do you only use Hunting Gloves for hunting, or you can use it for something else other than hunting?" Jai asked."Well, you can actually use Hunting Gloves for a

J ai likes to think positive. Even when he was facing something incredibly bad, he was always trying to look at the brighter side.“Huurrkkkk!!” Jai retched into the bucket. His face was pale as a vampire and glossy as a fish. The last one was necessary so you won’t daydream Jai being shiny like a diamond, because he wasn’t feeling as good as diamond right now.Beads of sweat ran down the side of his face as he felt like his spirit was leaving him. He looked like a ghost.Jai didn’t like to complain. He always tried his best so that he would not be complained either. But sometimes, no one can control what is going to happen. Although this one right here was definitely something controllable, it got sort of uncontrollable real fast.He could’ve refused. He could’ve rejected. Sadly, he didn’t. He could’ve stood still and let Darrion go by himself. But, he d

When he reached the forest, it was already dark. But lucky enough, the weather was clear and the moon was high. Sorry, the moons were high. So it wasn’t too dark to see the way.Jai stopped for a while to look at the moons and he was amazed by how big they looked. They weren’t gigantic per se, but if compared to the Earth’s moon, they were bigger. Like an egg compared to a Fuji apple. He wondered if there was any person that had reached those moons before like how Armstrong reached their Earth’s moon.Jai put that wonderment aside and continued his walk past the dead trees of the dead forest. He went through this forest for quite a few times by now that he was used to the scenery. Barren and dead. Not really a great place to get used to, but it made him more curious instead.“What happened to this forest and why?” Jai wondered.He had heard that there was a war ages ago. He wond

Dinner was served right after Jai finished cleaning up, and Barun was already home by then. The old man expressed his relief by patting the boy on the head affectionately. They ate dinner together along with Usha, just like usual. And just like usual, Miria asked Jai to tell them his experience, and he did just that. He told them from the incident of Watch Tower 1 until the problem about Torfo. But he left the part of the stolen artifact because he thought it was too risky to tell them that. Besides, the Minister had specifically asked the ones involved in the incident to never speak of it ever again.As he recount the story to them, he couldn’t help but notice Yaju’s disappearance after he was caught and detained by the Minister and the teachers. After the incident, Naoki just miraculously showed up and replaced Yaju as the assistant. And he was even more curious why no one asked why Naoki was replacing Yaju.Sure, Raka and Dama

“Will you be home for dinner?” Miria asked as she gave him his scarf. Jai easily put on the scarf and nodded. “Yes. Do you want or need anything?” he asked that as he re-checked his money pouch in his pocket. His prize money from the tournament was still existent. He didn’t know if one hundred gold is a lot, but apparently, Barun had helped him exchanging them into silvers and coppers. However, he still needed help in determining how many they really are in his pouch. Meaning, how much their worth. Oh yes, they still use pouches in this world, or that’s what Jai noticed. He preferred using his wallet though. He brought his wallet with him when he transmigrated here, but it sat idly in the drawer in his room just like his old clothes. He wondered if wallets had already been invented or not, knowing that paper money had already been invented. These papers were obviously folded in the pouch. But luckily, the designer of the pouch was smart enough to install two spaces i

The inside was just as fancy as it looked from the outside. There were many curious things inside the store, like a magician’s shop, but with more chemical tools on display.There was a smell that was unknown to Jai. But he guessed it was the mixture of various herbs in the room, and from the arrangements of chemical glasses in the left side of the room. Those glassy bowls and tubes that contains some kind of light purple, pink, and blue liquids in each glasses. They were connected with some kind of circular and loopty loop tube, and at the end of the last tube, it was left open and Jai could see lavender colored gas coming out of it and disappeared instantly.‘This doesn’t smell weird, but nicely herbal,’ Jai unconsciously smile from how fragrant the smell actually was.There was a golden globe like thing in the corner of the room, near the door frame that Jai guessed must be the back of the stor

The Last Thunder 611 – Baby Shower (2)
Jai felt something wrapped around his stomach from behind. He immediately looked down to his waist, spotting two smaller sized hands coiling on his waist.‘A kid, obviously. But who is it?’ Jai wondered. This was a baby shower event, so he wasn’t feeling weird if children attend too. The question is, who is this kid?He tried to turn around to look at the hugger, but the kid was hugging him tight. It wouldn’t be hard to push it, but he was reluctant because it’s a kid. He knew there’s nothing he could do but ask.“Oh? Hello? Is there anything you need?” Jai asked with a friendly tone.He could hear giggles, but the kid didn’t answer his question.“Oh are we playing guess?” Jai asked.More giggles.“It’s a boy.” Someone whispered from his left side. A familiar voice yet he could not name.“Hey!” The boy protested.But from that tone alone, Jai could already figure out who it is. So he said. “Hello, Ruta-kun.”The kid let him go and Jai could finally turn around. True, it was Ruta. The
The Last Thunder 610 – Baby shower (1)
On the day when the baby shower was held, Jai arrived at the place with Baji.The venue is in a mansion in the North Town. Jai hadn’t been in that certain neighbourhood, but he finally understood that the North Town is the place for the riches, and the neighbourhood they were in is probably among the richest. The mansion building is tall, and the garden is so wide. There’s a medium sized pond with two gazebos on the side, and then there’s also a small orchard on the right side of the mansion.Baji leaned in to whisper something. “The party is in the back garden. And keep your mouth shut, please. You’re a famous guy and I don’t want you looking stupid.” Then he leaned back.Jai immediately closed his unconsciously parted lips and recited the plan. He couldn’t, of course, confront an important figure of a clan in a crowded venue. So Baji and Gilbert had made a plan to help him talk alone with Fuuji Fu in the venue. He just have to make sure he could deal with the ‘fans’, though he hoped
The Last Thunder 609 – Invitation
It isn’t a doubt that Cynthia was reluctant to share that information with Harris because Jai was there. So Jai proposed to the brunette to re-visit the place later in the day to ask about it.Baji was there when they returned, and Jai immediately told him about the findings he got also to consult about the Fiery Lotus.Baji crossed his arms on his chest and nodded in acknowledgement. “It’s fortunate that a promising lead is finally here. We’re sorry for the late initiative from our part. We should’ve worked harder.”He didn’t think that he would receive an apology from Baji. But it showed that the man is a responsible person. Jai shook his head. “It’s alright. From the start, it was already a scavenger hunt. But do you know anything about either of those?”Baji fixed his seating before he explained. “Well about the Chief of Fuuji, he’s a strict person on males. He’s nice to females, and he’s really into babies. There’s only one male person he had shown his friendly side to in public,

“So uhh, this person whom you mentioned before with Tsubasa is a very important person. And you want to ask him about Alex?” Darrion asked when they were in the carriage, heading back.Jai narrowed his eyes. “Why aren’t you being straightforward?”“I’m a bit tired from today. There are so many deliveries like yesterday. But ahh… I’m more tired in trying to understand what they say.” Darrion said with nervous smile.Jai forgot that his friend is not adept in Shouha language, it must be hard to work without understanding what anyone is saying.“Sorry.” Jai apologized.Darrion nodded. “It’s fine. Let’s just stick to no name for now, if possible. I… Can’t really erect a barrier right now.”“Sure.” Jai nodded. “The… Family, you know, told me about him. Saying that he is the first person we can ask about Alex. But he has a very high standing, as you’ve listened to me and the father talked about him, so it won’t be easy to talk to him.”“I see. So that’s why you go to them. They can be consi

"Sorry if it's too much of me to ask." Jai said."Oh no, no. It's fine. But my mother is not at home though, is that alright?" Yuta asked as he turned to Jai and Darrion behind him."It's alright. It's very sudden after all." Jai said."Alright then. Would tea be alright?" Yuta asked."Yes. It's fine. Thank you." Jai answered.Fu Fuuji is the head chief of one of the notorious Ten Guardian Clans, the Fuuji clan. After leaving the Komatsu’s residence, he was thinking about how to get in touch with this person. And the Akamine clan is the first thing that came into Jai’s mind.While they don’t really owe him a favor, this family is the closest connection that he has to the Fuuji clan, because they’re also one of the Ten Guardian Clans.Also, he knew that it’s not guaranteed that he would get an audience with Fu Fuuji through the Akamine. There’s a possibility that they are enemies with each other. But he would at least try to ask. So here they were, in the Akamine clan’s residence.Yuta
The Last Thunder 606 – Arrangement
Returning to the present.“Little Sparks. Fiery Lotus. What the hell are those?” Jai asked as they left the compound.“Quiet down. You’re gonna get us killed for that.” Claude remindedJai turned around and talked in slight whisper. “If it’s associated with the Queen, that means it’s very private. In the North Town, in a community place like thing. It doesn’t ring any bells from the previous search. Do you know anything about it?”He saw an empty horse mount coming in their direction and waved it.The mount stopped in front of them and they immediately climbed in the carriage. “Southeast Windlet Post Office.” He told the horse mount driver.Weaving the air barrier thicker, Claude replied. “I don’t. I’m a hunter, not a mercenary. How do you suppose I know these things?”Jai smiled shortly with a shrug. “Maybe? Ah… But this is a major progress in the case. At least we know he’s not dead, and it will take more effort to rescue him now.” Jai smiled.Claude stared at Jai suspiciously. “Why

They were led to a corridor which have several doors across from each other. Alex immediately knew they are resting rooms, because he could see a bed from one of the opened doors.One of the committees, the previous guy who shot the Cloud Viewing Rune in the ceremony, pulled his hood down, showing his blonde hair. Then he turned around while the other committees went past him, leaving him to deal with the new freshmen batch.“Good morning. My name is Liam. I am one of the guild members and I am one of the supervisors of the freshmen. Well, not really supervisor, but I’m the one they put in charge to look after you when the super seniors are out. Like right now. Oh and umm, I’m not alone. I have my friends with me to look after you. So please don’t do anything rash, because we outpower you by a lot. And we prefer not to hit you, because you’re a potential junior. Please be nice to each other, okay?”Alex didn’t really pay attention. He stopped listening when he uttered the fourth sente
The Last Thunder 604 – The ceremony
That morning on the day when Jai went to the Komatsu’s house, Alex had already settled in ‘the place’.He wasn’t familiar with the kingdom, as such, he didn’t know where he was taken to.And since he was late, he was grouped with those who were also late. Many eyes stared at him when he entered the room—it was an average room with beds—reserved only for those who arrived late.Apparently, those who arrived first had attended the ceremony and the first phase—and those who were late had to attend on their own. But they would be gathered together after that, and he would be able to meet his roommate. That was what Master Fu said yesterday when he dropped him off. But the old man wasn’t lying.He went through a sleepless night—because there were many others here that he didn’t know and he wasn’t keen on getting surprise attacked in the middle of his sleep. But the night went by uneventfully, fortunately.He and the others were given a tray of scone and tea to start the day. He didn’t eat

“Don’t. Test. Me.”Jai’s eyes glowed brighter for a second as he emphasized the last words.The civilians, of course flinched at his threat. All of them knew him as a humble and righteous young man. Always smiling and looked very kind. They never knew this side of him. That’s why they were very surprised. The Kizuato group wasn’t included though, they were there exactly to prevent Jai doing what he planned to do.Akane, who had have enough of her parents’ plan, stood up.“Akane-chan!” Rio tried to stop her, but she went anyway and spoke.But instead of retaliating at the guest in their house like the rest of her family, she was looking at her mother instead. “Just tell him, mother!”Rio frowned deep at her. “What are you saying, Akane?”Akane gritted her teeth. “Just tell him!! If you tell him, no one will be hurt!”Rio shut her mouth and swallowed, but she didn’t say anything.Akane looked at her mother with bewildered expression. “If you don’t, then I will.” She turned to Jai. But
