The Last Thunder 476 – Roaring Thunder
The distinctive trait of the beast's jaw closing was the sound. The beast made a husky and deep breath-y kind of sound when it was closing in and was about to snap close its jaw.Jai didn't know this at first. It was only an instinct to 'move away!' and 'jump away!'. But every time he heard that, it was always because the beast was about to snap close its jaw. So it became his mark to jump away whenever he heard that behind him.The fairy squeaked when he dodged another clutch from the gorilla. "Fairy, can any of you go and heal Kasuga?""Eh? How about you?" The fairy asked, concerned."I'm–" he dodged the jaw snap right to his front and followed up with a powerful thunder punch to the left side of the beast's face. The beast grunted and paused for a second, stunned. Jai took this opportunity to add the distance between them. He then continued where he left off. "I'm fine."Although his hand felt like it had punched a wall, his thunder enveloped his hand and decreased the pain he shou
The Last Thunder 477 - Cascading
In the same forest, a few moments earlier…A dark cloaked figure appeared on one of the ancient tree branches above in a shrivel of black smoke. The person just suddenly appeared. There were no signs of it appearing. No sounds, no a sliver of light, nothing. It just suddenly there.“Tsk.” The figure clicked their tongue. “Where the hell did those kids go? They don’t just disappear like that.”The figure was following the two windlets who were flying through the forest. Well, only one windlet was followed, but there were two of them for some reason. And also because of unknown reason, they just suddenly vanished. Poof. Without a trace.The figure growled lightly. ‘Surely, I had checked the background of these kids. The thunder boy and the windy boy, both of them cannot teleport. They aren’t a high class elemer. So where do they go? Or was it the doing of that other windlet boy?’ The figure referred to the brunette windlet chasing the blonde one.The figure clicked their tongue in dissa
The Last Thunder 478 - Language Barrier
A few moments earlier...Darrion and Harris went the post after Harris had calmed down. There were two guards stationed at the gate, and they immediately noticed the two when they approached."Halt!" The guard stopped them. "There has been an issue and we cannot grant you passage through this gate at the moment." The guard on the left said.Darrion looked at Harris for translation, and when he understood what the soldier asked, he said. "Sorry, I don't really understand Pyreblair's language. May we speak in universal language?"Harris translated it to the soldiers and the soldiers repeated the same in universal language.Darrion gave them a simple smile and nodded. "Thank you. I understand. However, we are here as backup.""I beg your pardon? Backup?" The guard on the left asked, this time in universal language.The windlets nodded. "We are backups for the Adventurer's Guild. The mission paper said to bring in at least five people and they left without us." Darrion said.Harris nodded
The Last Thunder 479 – Slithering
Harris watched with suspicion, the captain that went inside the post along with the soldiers that had just arrived. He could not believe that the captain purposefully misled Jai and the others. Although the reason is to protect them, Harris still couldn’t accept his decision. Protecting them and misleading them are very different.When the captain and some of the soldiers had their back facing the two, Harris immediately held Darrion’s arm.Darrion was startled at the sudden hold. “Harris?”Harris opened his mouth to say something, but he checked the soldiers again to make sure they weren’t listening. But another scout team then came around and he had to pull back, confusing the blonde.This one had two horses and two lizards. They unmounted their mounts and one of them asked. “Has the captain returned yet?”“Yes, he has. He is waiting for you guys inside.” The guard on the left side of the gate answered.However, they didn’t get the chance to get in to report because the captain retu
The Last Thunder 480 - Small monkey needs a heal
Rina landed on the Gori-gori’s nest. The place was in a crooked part of an ancient tree, which was very tall and very large in diameter. The size of the hole was comparable to a big hut, but due to Rina being short and small for her age, it looked like a small cave to her. The inside was not very spacious since it was dug from tree bark. But it was surprisingly a smooth work for a beast, Rina thought as she knelt and felt the surface underneath her.“I don’t know Gori-gori beast can smoothen things like this…” Rina whispered.“Chipaku bara amashu?” The fairy said, or asked, Rina didn’t really understand.Rina sweatdropped. “I don’t understand what you’re saying, Fairy-san.”The fairy smiled and scratched its own head with mushroom cap. “Aah… Ommen…”“Mm? Did you just apologize? It’s alright, you don’t need to apologize.” Rina said with a smile.“Amilu…” The fairy said, smiling.Rina took a look around the place. Even though the floor was smooth, there were still some parts of the bark
The Last Thunder 481 – Get away
Rina is quite a knowledgeable adventurer. She is young, but she always wanted to be on par with her adventurers colleagues even though the Guild Leader said she doesn't have to. Because she's a smart and helpful kid. What I meant was, she studied hard to be able to work as adventurer.Among the things she studied was monstrology, and this subject, while not really favorite, was among the most interesting subjects. She gets to know various types of beasts, their habitats, and what their weaknesses are. It was easier to remember them when she acts like she is studying animals, that's why she kind of like that subject.Among those monsters she had studied, she remembered a certain kind of snake beast that lives in Shouha's forest. The book said that the snake beast lives on the trees and that it was big in size and can eat children whole if provoked. But it was mostly docile and would only eat insects and birds that are usually found high in the canopy. They are its favorite.But she nev
The Last Thunder 482 – Nick of time
Rina couldn’t move, and so was Raul and the rest of the small creatures that were with them.They were behind an ancient tree, which could be eight meters in diameter and was enough to hide all of them for a moment. All of the ancient trees in this forest are at least this big, and they’re super tall that it’s comparable to the buildings in major cities that are very tall and almost reaching the title of skyscrapers.Raul wasn’t thinking much when he chose a tree to hide behind it. He just did it to take a quick rest. He didn’t know that the quick rest was going to be literally fast that he didn’t manage to even take at least 30 seconds worth of deep breath. He was pausing his breath at the moment he saw the snake beside them, having already sneaked from their right side.And now the snake opened its large mouth. Two sharp fangs could be seen protruding from its upper mouth and looked read to bite into them.“R-Rina…” Raul managed to whisper as Shoru growled and the little monkey hugg
The Last Thunder 483 – Run and run and run
Jai jumped down from their position on the upper ground and joined Beto in the fight.“So how are we going to beat this thing?” Beto asked.The snake was trying to shake away the flames that were weirdly, still burning on each side of its head.“Honestly, I don’t really know.” Jai said, making Beto a little bit startled. “How is your flame still burning it?”Beto looked at the snake. “It doesn’t usually burn longer than two seconds, but I guess the snake produce a bit of oil.”“You mean sweat? Oil comes from fat, and fat comes from—” Jai shook his head. “Nevermind.”Beto looked at him weirdly. “So you don’t have any plans.” She pointed.“No.” Jai answered.The flames then burnt out and the snake turned to them. It sighed deeply.Thunder surged on Jai’s hands. “But beating it to death for hurting our friends is enough, right?”How does he able to produce more thunder after fighting that ape beast is beyond her reasoning. ‘But I guess, tournament winners are on another level.’ She thoug

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,
The Last Thunder 608 – Not on the first one
“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
The Last Thunder 607 – A Favor
"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
The Last Thunder 605 – Red meets Red
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
The Last Thunder 603 – Fiery
“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
