Lockers Orphanage PART TWENTY-FOUR
[Nowo’s POV] We ended up accepting the dwarves’ offer because we simply didn’t have any choice but to do so, or else we would end up being stuck here on the slope of the mountain. The dwarves' base was nicely hidden inside the huge tree. There was a big hole at the center of it, and after they cast some magic words, boom, we were now inside. I even thought our height would shrink, but it never changed. This land never failed to show me different, amazing things. “We’re like a family with lots of children,” he grinned. Those words left a different impact on me, though I knew he was just trying to tell a joke. Still, it felt weird. “Shut up, Moha,” I flushed. I was about to hit his head, but then, “Hey. I was just kidding,” he interrupted. Moha’s personality these past few days has been so unpredictable. There were times he didn’t want to speak to me and even pushed me away, and now, he keeps on teasing me as if seeing me in such embarrassment satisfies him. “You have such a beautif
Lockers Orphanage PART TWENTY-FIVE
[Nowo's POV]Isn't greed and hatred both powerful enough to turn someone into some kind of evil person? I also can't stop wondering why darkness has to exist in a land protected by Gods and Goddesses. I mean, if Pricus badly wanted to be a king, then maybe he should find some other land to reign, a place where no other creatures he could possibly step on.“What were you thinking?” Moha suddenly asked me. Maybe my sudden silence bothers him.I slightly smiled at him and shook my head once. “Nothing much. I was just, um,” I responded, and then I paused for a while. “Mad,” I added.“Mad? And what makes you mad?” He asked between his little laughs.“About everything that is happening. I mean, it's good to inherit this sword from the great Queen Aria, but it makes me angry as well that she had to die because of someone's greediness. You know what? Once I get really strong, I would kill that Dark lord with my own hands.”I heard no response from him, and as my gaze went in his direction, I

[Nowo’s POV]We never knew what would happen if Fraise and Raiden didn’t come to help us. Perhaps our entire bodies would be a perfect example of huge human-shaped grapes due to these creatures’ poison. But as we fought the scorpion men, why did I feel like something unusual was happening? Whenever their tails nearly pointed at our skin, they suddenly veered in another direction. Like killing us was never their goal.I decided to pause wielding my sword for a second and whispered to Moha, “Have you noticed it as well? The difference in the way they attack us compared to Fraise and Raiden?” Moha nodded once and responded, “Yes. And whatever the reason may be, it still doesn’t feel right.” I agreed with what he said. We weren’t sure about their plans, but being creatures that served the dark realm made them unreliable. We shouldn’t be bothered by it. Maybe we should use this opportunity to win against them instead of wondering until we lose focus and get defeated.“Lane, could you and

[Nowo's POV]"I hope that Fraise and Raiden also found out about these creatures' weaknesses," I told him. "Maybe we should look for them?""Raiden has an incredible IQ, while Fraise would never let herself lose to these creatures. So, there's no need to worry about them," he responded.Moha has a point; maybe I was just being paranoid. Well, he can't blame me for that since I'm afraid to lose one of my comrades and friends. We may not have acknowledged each other as friends yet, but I do consider them as some of the most important people in my life.It seems like the lights are not only freezing them but slowly destroying their bodies as well. Maybe because their bodies couldn't withstand the strong range of light and began to self-destruct. If only I had realized it sooner, then we wouldn't have needed to use almost all of our energy for an endless fight. We waited for them, but there were no traces of Raiden and Fraise. So, instead of searching and wandering around, we both decided
Lockers Orphanage PART TWENTY-SEVEN
[Nowo's POV] The Jotnar does look like an enemy rather than an ally, but then he never did something bad to us, despite that we're all close to him. After grinning at us, which looked creepy to me, he began to stand up straight and took a deep breath. "My name is Jotnar. If you were sent by the former king, then you must be here to fight me," he told us. What he just told us made me crease my forehead, "Fight?" He nodded his head, and then he responded, "Yes. You need to defeat me in order to get your corresponding crystals." Nobody told us about needing to claim a crystal from a giant here in this forest, and I am also doubting that we would possibly win over this creature since he's able to use his brain and strength, unlike the other creatures we have fought. "You mean, fight you as an individual?" I asked him. "That's how it is supposed to be, but then, you don't have much time left, and I am still able to fight a pair," Jotnar told us. "And why do we need those crystals?" I
Lockers Orphanage PART TWENTY-EIGHT (1)
[Nowo's POV] I could feel the power of my newly improved sword creeping from my hand through my veins as the golden chains dangled on it started to embrace my right arm. It wasn't a normal feeling that I got from it but a rare one, like it literally became a part of my body. This magical thing made me have a strange and wonderful experience. I could now feel the fire inside me getting stronger due to excitement, but at some point, I also felt worried about the disadvantage of being too fired up. Maybe sooner or later during this fight, I would lose my self-control once again. "Don't be so confident, female defender," the Jotnar warned me. "You may be a woman, but I would never go easy on you," he added, and then he smirked. I shrugged both of my shoulders and smiled at him. "Well then, give me your best shot." I guess right now, I'm already not the usual Nowo they all know. The new one melted away all the nervousness and fear the old one always felt. Mr. Jotnar started to stand i

[Nowo's POV] I stood up on the colossal's right shoulder, but his sudden shaky body made me lose my balance. Good thing is that I was able to clasp onto his hair, which is why I am able to sit on it. One thing that surprises me is that when I accidentally touched his nape, he started moving weirdly as if he was about to lose his balance. That's why I tried touching it once again, and then after that, I finally figured out that his nape is his weakness. I can hear his loud laughs as I constantly tickle his nape with my fingers, and believe it or not, he fell to the ground. I stood up and asked the Jotnar that is currently lying on the battle area, "Are you alright?" I saw him blinking his eyes, which means that he's perfectly fine. "Well, I guess you're still alive," I breathed. "Of course. I was just tired of laughing. By the way, I want to congratulate you, female defender," he said with a hearty tone. Adjusting himself into a sitting position, he continued, "You were the first on
Lockers Orphanage PART TWENTY-NINE
[Narrator’s POV]There's hidden magic in the hunters' mountain that all defenders weren't aware of. The reason is that the said magic refers to the wonderful knowledge and lessons they were all going to gather, molding them into perfect examples of great warriors. Judging different sets of creatures was never easy, especially for those dragged into this land unprepared. However, none sees it as a disadvantage and takes it as motivation to strive harder and become better.The huge improvement in their skills and abilities is now visible, and Arphen's goal to fix their flaws is becoming progressive. Both Alasdair and the said one-eyed man knew that after passing through the other side of the mountain and before accessing the whereabouts of the magical lake named Lake of Aria, will be the hardest part of their test since they are now going to learn the truth behind their origins.“This will be the last yet the most complicated stage of the test,” Alasdair uttered after he commanded Arphe
