The Last Thunder 600 – Confrontation
Jai and Claude dodged the stars shot at them to opposite sides from each other, which effectively separates them two of them. The two ninjas immediately moved between the two of them, hindering them from working together. The one in front of Jai is the skinny ninja while the one in front of Claude is the bigger ninja, and from their appearance, both of them looked like men.“Careful, Jai. They’re very agile.” Claude warned his friend on the other side.Jai’s knowledge about ninjas are only from the animated movies that he saw. Even in the movies, ninjas are shown to be swift in their movements, and is a master of disguise. While Jai didn’t know if they have definitive outfits or not—because the movie he usually watched shows the ninjas wearing casual outfits, along with blue or black ninja boots that show their toes—but he knew the thing that he should look out for is the hands. Even in movies, their hands could swiftly change weapons in a matter of millisecond. If he misses that weir
The Last Thunder 601 – Meeting the Komatsu
Jai obviously wouldn’t back down, and he seems to care about breaking this house down along with whoever is inside it more than himself being recognized.What’s more is that the art of exploding oneself is not a beginner course. It needs to be studied fully and under supervision in order to at least master the process of the action—because no one could come back after exploding themselves. Not even dragons could bring you back if it does happen.Hayate actually doubted that he could actually do what he said he would do. Because in the record, Jai Waetford came from a small and insignificant village in the Wind Kingdom. But the fact that he could obtain the 3rd rank in the recent, medium scale tournament, it is an amazing feat. For someone who has never participated in a tournament before, and for someone who does not study in the academy to control his magic before, Jai is obviously a rare gem.Which is why even though Hayate doubted him, he didn’t want to risk it happening. Because b
The Last Thunder 602 – Alex, Leaving
The day before, after the meeting with The Association, three Komatsu members that attended the meeting went to make a few arrangements with the other members regarding their share in submitting their ‘chilrdren’ to the guild.It took a while and they’re home in the afternoon.Maid Hana is the one who welcomed them home, and she was surprised to see two other people behind her masters. She immediately stepped aside. “Good afternoon, and welcome to the Komatsu’s household.”“Prepare tea and tell Haato to come to the tatami room, Hana-san.” Rio said to the maid.Hana bowed politely when they entered the house. As Rio brought them to the side garden, Hana immediately closed the door and went to do as Rio had ordered.As she went to the kitchen, she could only think that those people might want to look at Haato like Master Fu did before. It shouldn’t be a big deal then, right?She entered the kitchen and found him immediately. The poor boy was plucking seeds off a strawberry before eating
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
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 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 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 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
