Zachery and Sarah had dinner and were on their way home. Both of them had to bring their weapons with them. Although Sarah's bow could be hung on her waist, Zack's spear was not something that could be easily hidden. Both their reputation and the white shiny face of the spear made them very conspicuous. They couldn't stand it any longer and left without eating.
Sarah had already drawn her bow as she suddenly turned around.
"Who's there?" Sarah lowered her bow as Toma came out of the bushes.
"What are you doing here?" Sarah spoke rudely. Although she had been very polite in the past, she had learnt not to do it anymore. She wouldn't be polite to someone who was stalking her.
"I think I know what it's for. You go Sarah. This is about me." Sarah gave Zack a strange look and turned back to her house.
"I guess you were curious about the spear." Toma's face flushed. She had really come here because she was curious about the spear. Her curiosity about spears had really put her in very bad situations. That's why she had learnt to use a spear. Not only did she use it well, but she had a great curiosity about spears.
She always admired people who used spears in TV series and films, but she didn't even have the opportunity to do it as a hobby. She was a woman. She wasn't that strong, but now she was a developer.
Zack threw the spear at Toma. Toma didn't realise what had happened as she caught it in mid-air.
"You can have it." Toma's eyes widened and she grabbed the spear as if he wouldn't give it back. Zack laughed gently.
"He gives me a lot of trouble. I don't know how to use a spear, maybe I wouldn't have lost it to Jack so easily if it wasn't for this huge thing, so keep it. It's better for you," he said and turned and walked away.
After a while, a bit crunching sound came from his body.
"Blue lightning start centre. " Zack turned back with what came to his mind while he could not get what it was.
" Or am I... "

As it was getting dark, six people were sitting in front of the TV in house 520 watching a film. Jace and Lena were hugging each other and watching the film. Kevin and Melony were also hugging. Kai and Emma were standing side by side, although not hugging. Kai and Emma both wanted to touch each other, but their pride would not allow it. Fortunately, these perverted teenagers were too shy to do anything further.
Everyone was sure Lena and Jace weren't that shy.
"Where's Jack?" Jace said. He hadn't been able to watch that fight. He said he had something important to do. He had entered the house at the same time as the others.
"He said he had something to do and left. I guess he couldn't take being beaten so easily. He's trying to improve," Kai said. Kevin had passed the start peak. He now had a chance to beat Boyd. But Jack was still in the starting centre. and that's why Boyd had cut him in half so easily. He lost in a very pathetic way.
"Kai, what level are you really at?" asked Emma.
Kai laughed heartily and Jace was trying hard not to laugh. This was a funny thing. This kid was at a horrible level.
"Just know that I won this tournament for sure." After watching the film for a while, Lena stood up as if she had thought of something.
"I forgot to tell you. I've reached the peak of the orange lightning."
PUUUUUHHH...!!!
Kai and Kevin instantly spray the coke in their mouths at the TV while Melony and Emma are at a loss for words. The Coke Melony drank came out of her mouth again during her surprise and flowed down her chin.
"The peak of the beginning? The beginning of the peak?" they asked sceptically. Lena laughed.
"The beginning of the peak." Kai and the others swallowed deeply.
'Better than me?' Kai thought. He couldn't swallow his damned pride to be beaten so pathetically. This woman wasn't making progress. She must have swallowed energy like a black hole.
"Lena has a strange quality. She has a very difficult jump from one lightning bolt to another. If a normal person takes 10 hours to get into red lightning, she takes 30 hours. But once she's in that lightning, she peaks at an incredible speed. "Jace said.
"You're not the only one with extraordinary potential, Kai. There are greater potentials than you. You don't know about the other academies. The Red Lightning Academy is the worst of the other academies. Sometimes geniuses like you show up there. Especially this year. Things are different. "Kai was silent and the others didn't understand.
"We'd better tell them. Because they're going to have the most trouble with this. "Kai started to explain while nodding his head.
"This year they have a very different plan than other years. They will use the formation they used in the 1st region tournament in a large region. For 9 months, they're going to send everyone except the 5th graders to an island. We will try to survive there. Since the 1st graders are the weakest, it is thought that they will die first. And since we are the worst academy, it is thought that we will die first. The last school left will be the winner and will get the most supplies from the army. We will stay there for a long time and make great progress. " Kevin, Melony, and Emma were surprised by what they heard. Emma asked a question as soon as she came to her senses.
"Can you give us more information? "Kai looked at Jace, not knowing anything more. They had explained it to Jace when he took 1st place in the 2nd region tournament.
"Actually, this tournament was a type of tournament that was held every 10 years 600 years ago. The battles lasted about five years. In fact, the winning streak was not in an academy, but in a race, the Turks. "
"The Turks were then a simple country living on a not very large piece of land. Their people had a unique talent. It was a talent that was very difficult to use, but those who succeeded were talented enough to help the Turks win the tournament. Students in their 20s used to try to get their second emotions, and at that time there was a generation of young people of different races who achieved this at the Malibu Institute. A generation that worked for the progressives. The whole world was afraid of them. They were also very friendly and kind-hearted. The Malibu Institute hosted incredible geniuses, and since its founder Malibu was a Turk, the Turks benefited the most. "
"Of course, because the Turks and the Malibu Institute suddenly disappeared, the developmentalists lost those glorious geniuses. Humanity lost a race and the developmentalists suffered a great blow in the war. It hasn't even been a thousand years. The developmentalists have been greatly weakened in the last thousand years.
"I'm going to sleep." Kai wasn't interested in that story. The others got up and left one by one. This story was not important to them. At least not yet.
Jack didn't come home that night.
Milah's House
"What are we supposed to do now?" said Jack. He had come up with the idea, but Milah was the mind thief. And it was the first time Jack had ever been in a girl's room. So he was excited. No matter how cool Milah wanted to look, it wasn't so easy with a man on her bed.
"Now I'm going to connect to your mind and you're going to take me to the source and I'm going to absorb it." As Jack nodded, Milah grabbed Jack's head from both sides. Both of their eyes lit up and they entered Jack's mind.
As they both opened their eyes on the black floor, they could see lights in some places.
"Which way are we going?" said Milah. Jack closed his eyes while looking around. After focusing for a while, he opened his eyes again. He pointed in a direction with his hand.
"That way."
The two of them headed in that direction. After enough time had passed to boil tea on the stove, Milah began to speak.
"You know what these black areas mean, don't you?" Jack looked at Milah.
"Do I look like I do?" Milah rolled her eyes.
"It represents your bonds. Your love of things, your love of people. How strange. Most of the white lights are food or things. There are very few people. Why is that?" Jack bowed his head. When Milah saw him like this, she thought he had a bad memory.
"I can tell you if you want..."
Oh, this brat loved to talk, even if he wanted to hide it.
"I was 7 years old. I can only half remember. The first term of school was over. I wanted to show my mother my report card on the way home. When I got home I found my father crying. At first I didn't understand what was going on. I was still young, I thought things like death only happened in films. Until I found out that my mother had an accident. As my father hugged me, the smile on my face returned. It's all so clear. I remember it like it was yesterday. Tears were flowing, but I couldn't speak. It was horrible and I felt alone. But it's not so important now. It's not a reason I don't want to tell you. " Jack's tears flowed involuntarily. Milah couldn't speak either. Darkness suddenly came between Milah and Jack.
When Jack lost Milah before he could understand anything, he turned back. He had a worried look on his face.
"MİLAH!! MİLAH!!! MILAAH!!!"
Milah wandered round the other side, looking for Jack. After travelling further for a while, she saw Jack's small size. She had no idea how close she felt to him as she involuntarily approached him.
