272 - The Call
Jai and James left the study and went downstairs to meet with Darrion. The blonde young man was standing in the lobby of the house, talking with Anna the maid. Upon seeing them approaching, the blonde gave a wave. “Hey.”
“Hey… You’re here to see me?” Jai asked, feeling slightly confused.
“Yeah. We’ve been summoned,” Darrion said.
“By whom?” Jai raised one of his brows.
“The Minister. It’s about the last day they’re giving us as part of the prize. Didn’t I tell you it’s postponed until further notice? Now they’re notifying us about it,” Darrion said.
“Oh, it’s about time isn’t it? What a perfect timing,” James said, but he looked in wonder. “Right after you’ve done the survey for me. Though I didn’t imagine it would be this fast.&rd

“Is it really paid by the kingdom?” Ugi asked timidly, making the others chuckle.The Minister smiled. He’s always amused by how village people are often reluctant with what’s offered to them. But he liked that part of them to be mildly cautious in any given situation. “It’s part of your prize, Ugi, so of course, it will be paid by the kingdom,” he said, making the boy smiled shyly. “Well. As I said, this meeting will be brief, and the following details will be sent by letters.”“That’s it?” Mugen tilted his head in confusion. “If the rest of it is going to be put in letters, why made us come here?”The Minister pouted. “Oh can’t I meet my winners by myself? I kind of miss you guys especially after what we went through.”“You were only passing by our classes and smiling like nobody’s business,” Mac said flatly.“He’s &
The Last Thunder 274 - Chance
Doctor Prime knew the person in front of him would hesitate, because that was what he felt before coming here. It wasn’t easy to admit your mistake in front of the people that deserve your apology. He knew he was guilty, and he had admitted that for years. But confessing to the people that deserve it? It was much harder.It’s going to be humiliating, the doctor knew. But he had already come to terms with the fact that this was also caused by his incompetency both as a doctor and a human. James might or might not forgive him, and he was fine with both options. He knew he was wrong. He had accepted his mistake. There’s nothing more to it.“I was wrong. I’m sorry. I will take the blame. However, James, I am a doctor. I have people coming up to me for help with their lives. I will always do my best for them as that is my responsibility. You may not forgive me. I will accept that. But there is this life that I want to save that requires your he
The Last Thunder 275 - Surprised both
Jai returned to the Oakshen household and was immediately welcomed by Anna the maid. She took him to the study right away and to his surprise, someone else was also there.“Doctor Prime?” Jai called in bewilderment.The doctor turned around and smiled as soon as he saw him. “Oh, Jai. Welcome. We were about to wrap up here.”“This is my house, doctor. I should be the one welcoming him,” James said with a slight disapproval look while the doctor chuckled. Then he smiled a small smile to Jai and said, “Welcome Jai. Please, come in and take a seat.”The adjusting needed a little bit of time, but James had gotten a bit calmer after some time talking with the doctor. As he requested, the doctor told him what he would do for this patient of his that suffered the same illness as his daughter. He recognized some things due to him ever read the doctor&rsquo
The Last Thunder 276 - Just a normal day
The next day, Jai trained the village kids again. Since he was finally free, he thought that he should give them a piece of his attention. Again, it was nothing strenuous for children. Just some exercises and a one-two for beginners. The kids were excited to be train with him and they soaked all of his lessons in. Although they didn’t do as well as he had thought, he dismissed it as normal because they were just children.He didn’t do it very well either in the first few times of his training, so who was he to judge?Darrion came by in the middle of the day to deliver the official letter for the supposed holiday. The letter said that the event would be held in the weekend, which would be in three days, and they would be touring around the famous landmarks in the kingdom.“The Flower Meadow is in the first list,” Jai smiled as he read the letter in front of Darrion. “I remembered about that from our first race. It’s the place w
The Last Thunder 277 - Making safe
It was now weekend and the time for the event. In the letter, it was said that the winners must arrive at the Grand Square by 8 in the morning which means that Jai had to depart at around 6 o’clock from the village due to the distance. The letter also said that they will be accompanied by the King and the royal family after their first round of tour outside the castle walls.Upon knowing about this, there was a bit of a chaos inside Barun’s humble abode. The commotion mainly came from Miria who was concerned that Jai wouldn’t have ‘decent’ clothes to meet with the king.“But Miria, I met the king when they announced the winner,” Jai said.Miria looked at him with a frown in her face, clearly disagreeing with him. “But that’s after you were fighting. Walking up the stage to take your trophy after a fight is an honour. It’s different from this time when you will meet him out of battlefield.”
The Last Thunder 278 - Too early
Since he didn’t want to ruin his clothes with sweat, he took his walk as relaxed as possible. He had thought about this when Miria was making a commotion about his outfit today. So he wanted to at least honor her effort by not making it too wrecked.“Hmm, these clothes are comfortable. It’s light to move around in and it looked good, yet it’s simple,” Jai said to himself as he tried to move his body around. It was tight, but not too tight, it was perfect.Jai heard rustlings somewhere to his left and he turned to look. There were several brown blobs not far ahead, playing by the side of fallen trees with some red blobs. Jai tilted his head. “Are those new slimes? I didn’t know slimes can coexist with each other.”What he guessed wasn’t wrong. Those were actually the mud slimes and the fire slimes. They had finally met each other the day after their encounter with the small white ‘abomination’. App
The Last Thunder 279 - Tour (1)
Apparently, the Minister knew that Jai would be coming early. So he purposefully wrote the letter sent to Jai with one hour earlier than the supposed hour. Jai told him it was rather unnecessary to put one hour early in the letter because he would always depart two hours earlier. The Minister replied that he did that because he wanted Jai to take a rest before they start the tour.Jai chuckled as he lowered his cup. “Yes, but an hour early? I think ten minutes is enough for my legs to recover two hours long walk, sir.”The Minister smiled, swallowing his biscuits. “Aah yes. I think I agree with you on that one. You’re a fighter. Two hours walk is nothing to your well-built body. Still, I prefer my guests comfortable and fresh,” the Minister said with a wink.Jai laughed lightly. “I understand.”The two men enjoyed their tea and snacks for a bit longer before one of the committees, this time a man, approached their
The Last Thunder 280 - Tour (2)
There were three bunny mounts ready in front of the restaurant. The winners had taken their seats in the carriages with four people each. Jai followed Darrion to a carriage, but he ushered him to go to the other one where Torfo and Raka was.“Nope, you’re not sitting here, I’m going to sit with these guys,” Darrion said. Mugen, Bara, and Oki smiled and waved their hands from inside the carriage, as if taunting Jai to make a comment.Jai looked at the other carriages. One carriage had been filled by Ruhan, Mac, Ugi, and the Minister while the other one was filled by Raka and Torfo. Jai wondered if he was supposed to sit with the two, because it seems like it was purposefully made that way.Jai turned to the people in front of him to ask, but Oki had cut him short. “The Minister said so.”Jai blinked and looked at them flatly. “Does he want me to mend my relationship with Torfo or what? I already made up with him. W
