Semua Bab Clouded By The Stars: New Moon: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Kylie, Davies, and Jack were standing on the general training grounds. The three were stretching to prepare themselves for a long day of training. Unlike the personal training sessions Clara held for them, the general training was not tailored to one person. There were a lot of workouts and strategy learning as well as skill implementation involved in the training. So, it took much longer than the personal training. While waiting for their instructor, they warmed up their bodies by following the daily routines. They had just finished their 45 minutes run and were preparing their bodies for the team building exercise that would follow. Unfortunately, they had to wait for their instructor first.After about twenty minutes, a man as stout as an oak tree walked through the doors. In his hands was a dossier. His eyes were stern and uncompromising, and the trainees stiffened when he gazed upon them.“What is the Shattering Lion doing here?”“I don’t know. Maybe he’s here to give an importan

“A duel?” Kylie was jogging alongside Davies and Jack. Although they had already had their morning run, their new instructor – Shattering Lion – had ordered them to run a few more laps. Kylie and he group were behind the others, serving as the tail of the long line of trainees marching steadily around the field.“It is a surprising outcome, but it does make sense. This guy’s father is famous for being unpredictably crazy.” Davies murmured. His words were heard by both Kylie and Jack, and while Kylie chuckled at them, Jack’s twitching eyelids suggested that if it wasn’t because they were currently outside and within another’s eyesight, he would have very much liked to pummel Davies into the ground.“I wonder how it would be like, and what the criteria for choosing the representatives would be like,” Kylie could not help but voice out her thoughts. Shattering Lion had been open enough to inform them of the location of the dule and how many representatives would be required; however, Kyl

“If it isn’t the famous Kylie,” Philip smiled charmingly and extended his hand towards Kylie in greeting. While his expression and mannerisms were as astute as that of a prince, Kylie could see the craftiness of the snake hidden within. She frowned as she stared at Philip’s outstretched hand. To the trainees who were watching on, their eyes stinging pleasurably at the sight of a dramatic break that would wash fatigue from their minds, Philip was the perfect gentleman. After all, he was someone who was gentle and kind to them all; but Kylie knew that this was just an act.A snake like Philip was only known to be himself around his enemies. Gathering allies with lies and filling their heads with fairytale behaviour was what people like him knew best. Kylie knew this. Davies knew this, and Jack knew this; but the other trainees did not. Kylie didn’t want to accept his hand at all, but she knew that in doing so, her already diminished image would grow even more diminutive. She could alrea

The days went by quickly and two weeks passed by swiftly. Due to the duel with the Clan of the First, things were very active in the Lion King Clan, specifically, the Kingsman mansion. Kylie, Davies, and Jack hadn’t been to school in the past few days – since the incident with Sam and Igneous – and just like every other trainee, they focused on their training. The list for the representatives had already been published. Shattering Lion had unsurprisingly picked the trainees he felt were best for this mission. These were the five representatives he had chosen: Kylie, Jack, Davies, Philip, and a boy called Razor. Kylie was the only female rep. Her place would have been disputed by the trainees under normal circumstances with them wondering how a 1 Star got selected, but after her little display, the noise around her had died down; those annoying whispers had turned into pleasant gongs. What they didn’t know however, was that Kylie would have been selected anyway. After all, Galbraith’s

“Our first match ladies and gentlemen is one that waters the mouth and wets the tongue. While many would assume that the first battle would be one that would prepare us for the highlights to come, the Barren Battlefield is no place for preliminaries. This is a warzone, and the first match is going to be just that!”“From the Clan of the First, we have our first representative. He is someone whose name rocks the world of geniuses and reminds us of our inadequacies. His first achievement was coming third place in the Rookie Championship ten years ago. His exquisite blade techniques and dagger skills elevated his name to the lips of both the new and old generation alike, making him the envy of young men his age but a catch for our poor young daughters. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome the one who is called the Son of Blades…”“Davidson!”“DAVIDSON”“DAVIDSON”“DAVIDSON”Surrounded by the loud chants of the crowd, a young man who looked to be in his late twenties walked out of the tunnel.
