Spectacular Ninja Skills

After the last period bell rang, we went to the school canteen to have lunch. It seems that a rumour was going around that all class 5A students was punished by the Principal. The rumour was supposedly spread by the teachers to hide the truth about us and to clear any suspicions. It seems that there was another organization that had contractors who was against the World Order. However, they were on a truce for now in order to solve the current problems arising in the real world. Only the higher ups in authority of the opposing organisation knew about the new contracts. In order to prevent any leak of the information, only the veteran contractors are allowed to be in this school to protect and train us.

“Don't you guys feel like we are now a secret military weapon or something?” Rudy started the conversation as we eat our lunch.

“Yeah. I don’t know if the principal saying that we are strong is true though. I see some of us, especially Harry, have quite a powerful ability but others such as myself, a Spear Master, is too reliant to my weapon. I’m basically a normal human without any spear, and I can’t wield any other weapon too.” Zafi complained shoving a spoon full of rice.

“Yeah, I could say I am powerful but, I could see Adam’s power to be potentially more powerful than mine. I mean, I don’t know what skills he possessed. That will be another factor to consider how powerful we can be.” It was true though. During the first try he even levitated himself even for just a few seconds.

“Oh, yeah, you’re right. By the way, what skills do you have Harry?” Zafi asked again curiously.

“Hmm, I think we should keep our skills a secret from others. There’s a possibility of information being leaked. So if there was any chance that our enemy attack us, we can use our skills as our trump card.”

“Woah, you really think that far, Harry? I’m really impressed!” Maru suddenly join the conversation. His voice was just loud that others are looking at us now.

However that was one of the reasons though. Honestly, I just did not want my friends to know my skills since it can be considered too powerful. For those who are weaker, they tend to avoid any kind of contact with those who are strong. In the end, they will try their best to eliminate those stronger than them just to ensure there are safe. It was a common rule of 'society'. I did not want anyone to avoid me just because the difference in strength. Although, I know my friends would not do that but others will.

“Harry, what are you thinking? You looked so serious.” Ari’s voice finally made me threw away my thoughts.

“Your voice sounded as beautiful as yourself Ari.” I looked at him intently with my chin resting on my hand.

“There you again, please restrain yourself from teasing me especially when we’re in public.”

“Hahaha, then it is fine if I tease you when we’re not in public?”

“W-what?! No! Just stop teasing me already.”

“Umm, Ari…you’re attracting quite a lot of attention right now.” Zafi puts his hand on Ari's shoulder and calmed him down. Finally realizing others at the canteen looking at him, he bowed down while apologizing for making a scene. The lunch continued with a lot of teasing and laughter.

After we finished with lunch, we went straight to the classroom. As we enter, I saw a lot of my classmate in the sitting area. Some were studying while others were chatting. Some of them even went in and out of the training ground (the barren land that the Principal created). It seems they also realized that they could utilise this classroom which was now a lecture hall.

Before this thing happens, no one even bother using this classroom for after-school activity because it is burning hot during the afternoon. Well, this is a tropical country so of course it would be hot throughout the year. Most would just go home and study while some would go to the library since they have air-conditioning. Now that the classroom became a cold and comfy lecture hall, it would be a waste not to use such a good facility. Then I saw Adam, studying alone at the corner of the seating area.

“Hey, Adam is here. Rather than me, don’t you think it would be better to ask a guy who got first for the last exam to teach you?”

“Yeah, I think it’s better than a Lazy Inchou though. The explanation is crappy too.” I just wryly smiled with my blood veins popping out. Maybe I should ask Ember for skills that gives me immunity to Maru’s insult.

“Hahaha yeah, my explanation is crappy. So you don’t need me now, then I’ll just try out my power.” I walked to the door leading to the training ground. Before I enter, I sneaked a peek to them and saw Ari was looking down. Well, whatever, he would understand Adam’s explanation rather than mine. I just know that I am really bad at teaching others so it's better this way.

On the training ground, only four persons including me were present. It was Darrel, Adriel and Aslan. They saw me enter and asked me to summon weaker undead for them to train. At first, I wanted to refuse but seeing how diligent they looked to train themselves, I summoned 3 normal skeletons without any weapons or armour. I hope this would be weak enough for them to defeat. After giving out orders to the skeleton, I walked further away from them to try out my new skills. Since they were occupied with fighting the skeletons, there would be no risk of them noticing me using my skill. I woke Ember up who was sleeping in my shirt pocket to ask her about the skills.

She had been sleeping in my shirt pocket ever since lunch time. The reason for this was that she was tired from using up her mana for the blood oath last night. She did not get any rest since then, so I asked her to rest during lunch time. Now that I have woke her up, I asked “Okay, how does my new skills works? Do I have to imagine the same way I summon the undead?”

“No. Some skills are considered as active while some are passive. The active skills can be activated by just thinking of the result of the skills. To put it simple you don’t have to think of the mana flow and only think of the end result. For example, raiton no jutsu can be easily activated by imagining electricity or lighting and the mana will flow out automatically, the mana cost to activate the skill is so much lower than chanting it or imagining of the whole process. That is why skills is very important. As for the passive skill, such as absolute mana control and chantless spell, it will be activated constantly without the person consent. It cannot be turn off, the passive skill are permanent. The fact that passive cannot be turn off may be an advantage or disadvantage to you, well it all depends on what the skill is.”

“I see, than all I need to do is imagine the result I want?”

“Yes, that is all you have to do. However, there is limit for the skills. The skills can only be improved or strengthen if you level up.” She said while stretching herself.

So skills do have their own pros and cons. I cannot deny that I was a bit disappointed, but all I could do was to level up. I took in a deep breath to calm myself down. I remembered from a ninja anime that raton no jutsu is used by the Mc’s rival, Sasu*e.

I took a deep breath to calm my mind and imagined lightning ball forming in my right hand. Slowly I saw sparks forming and enlarged into a sphere in a mere seconds. The lightning was exactly the way I imagined it, a bright blueish lighting sphere, floating on my palm. I can feel the strain in term of mana consumption of this skill. The feeling of mana flowing out in my hand just felt like bursting a piss after holding it in for so long.

Now that I got the lightning ball, I still need a target and I need it fast before this lightning ball drain my mana dry. I hold my left hand up and felt the mana flow out of my left hand. Then I imagined a huge creature, a zombie-troll, 4 metres tall, wearing a plat-armour and wielding a huge wooden club. This time, the magic circle did not appear under my feet but appeared at the ground my palm was pointing at. The ground started to shake and a hand pierced out of the ground on the magic circle. Its hand gripped the ground and pull the rest of the body out.

Sensing that so much mana was drained out just to summon this creature, I immediately use the surrounding mana to supply it to this creature since my own mana was drain fast by this lightning ball. Somehow I just cannot use the surrounding mana to keep up this lightning ball. Maybe because this lightning ball is considered a skill and my mana manipulation is also a skill. So skills cannot overlap with another skill.

After the body was fully out of the ground, it let out a huge howl and speak to me in a weird way “I come. Order?” It took me quite a while to understand what it said as the foul stench of dead body was too much for me.

“…ah yes. Stand there and be my target for my training.” I point out at an area 100 metres away while pinching my nose.

“Yes. Will do.” every time this creature opened his mouth, a piercing stench just stab my nose like a knife. After he arrived at the place I was pointing, then I ran towards it as fast as I can to gather up momentum. As expected, I close up the distance in a mere 5 seconds. My running speed was very fast, faster than before. It did not feel unusual to me even though im running faster than an olympic runner. This must be the boost of my stats causing this extraordinary speed.

As I approached it, I hit the zombie-troll with my lightning ball directly at the stomach while shouting “Rasengannnnnn!” For a second there, I wanted to take back my words it was definitely wrong. A loud thunder reverberates througout the field and a blinding flash struck my eye as the lightning ball hits.

I was blinded for a few second as I did not expect the bright flash. After my eyes recovered from the flash, I looked at my hand and the lightning ball was gone. Then I looked in front of me, the zombie-troll was also gone! What was left there were charred ground and pieces of steel which I probably was the zombie-troll's plat-armour. As for the body, I looked around and saw a huge burned corpse more than 300 metres away.

The corpse suddenly turned into a dark smog and dispersed away. Still shocked, I turned around to see Ember with her mouth wide-open. “M-master! That was splendid! I never would have thought lightning strike could be use that way! I’m totally shocked and I'm so proud of you Master!” She was shouting out those words while flying around me.

“H-honestly, I have no idea that would happen, I expected it would just end with the troll being pushed back a few feat due to the momentum and a slight burn to the plat-armour.”

“What?! You don’t even know how you did that? Hehehe, don’t worry, I can explain it since I know a little bit about that lightning strike. Basically, Raton no Jutsu is a skill almost similar to a wizard ‘lightning strike’ spell. Both can call upon a single lightning strike but the difference is that Raton no Jutsu is a skill special to the ninja class. I think for your case, you gathered all the power of a lightning strike in your palm and released it at a single point, directing the force to that direction. The shock was so powerful that you knocked a 4 meter troll more than 300 meter away and the heat released burned it to char. That would probably be the best explaination.” Ember said and started to mumble and talk to herself. This skills of mine was definitely overpower, I cannot deny it anymore. Luckily the mana consumption was large, if it wasn't then Im definitely too powerful.

"Well, at least this skill really consumed a lot of my mana. If its consumption is much more lower than I might have been able to kill a demon already." I laughed it off while scratching my head.

"Wait Master, you can just refill your mana with the surrounding mana. So basically you can use this skill as many time as you want. Hmm, but your mana is quite dense so it might take quite some time to refill it..." she stopped and put her hand on her chin, thinking really hard.

"What?! If I can refill my mana then I definitely..."

"I get it now!" she shouted before I could finish my sentence, "Your mana was just so dense that is why that lightning was so powerful. I just know how dense your mana is. The fact that you use the same amount of mana with such density to create the lightning ball makes it 10 times more powerful! Or it might even be more powerful than that! What if you use a lot more mana to create that single lightning strike? It would just be as powerful as anvil crawler lightning! No wonder your summoned creature looked so strong and the skeleton knight was so intelligent too..."

Ember was just so amazed the she keeps spinning around me while saying many things. I just didn't want to interfere while she was just so happy. She even said, "I knew it! I knew I made the right decision to choose you!"

I finally realized that there was still a few of my classmate on the training ground. They were also shocked with wide open eyes. I ran up to them and begged them to keep it a secret from the others. They agreed but I have to summon more undead for them to train since they already defeated the weak skeleton I summoned. Without further a due, I summoned a Lich, a skeleton necromancer that could summon another undead. If they need more undead then they could ask the Leech to summon some. The Lich can only summon the lower ranked undead but it was fine because they can only defeat a weak skeleton with their current level. With my current mana reservoir, I still cant keep up with the mana consumption so I had to use the surrounding mana.

After they agreed, I continued on my training. I still have that one skill I wanted to try. Bunshin no Jutsu. This was the most famous Ninjutsu that I think everyone that watched ninja anime knows about this technique.

It took more than 10 minutes to fill up my mana just to replenish a quarter of my mana reservoir even with the help of mana manipulation. No wonder Ember took so long to fill up my mana on the first night.

I started my duplication training by creating one clone to get use to it. So I imagined another copy of myself appearing in front of me. Unexpectedly, my shadow on the ground elongates and protruded out of the ground creating a black 3-D duplication of my body shape. Then spots of colours started to appear on the clone. Finally a perfect duplication of myself was created. The process took about a minute but it was definitely me, 180 metres tall, a refine face, short black hair, deep-brown eyes, lean-build body, and the most striking thing was that…there was something hanging…it was NAKED! I was so focused on imagining how I look that I forgot to think of the cloth.

“Ember! Don’t look at me! Close your eyes! I really mean it! Don’t peak through your fingers dammit!” I panicked as I try to imagining cloth for my clone while hugging it to cover him up.

After a while I finally managed to dissipate my clone instead of thinking to cover him up

“*sigh* did you see it?”

“I-I didn’t see anything…I really didn’t see anything hanging really…there was no stick or anything…really I didn’t see anything” she said whilst blushing as red as an apple.

That was definitely a lie. Luckily the others did not see it because they were too busy training. Whatever though, I just need to see what the clone can do. So I summoned it again this without forgetting the cloth.

“Ember, please stop your naughty thoughts. Just tell me what the clones can do.”

“Huh, n-no I’m not imagining anything! Well, since it’s your clone, it can do most of the thing you can but it’s very weak to attack and have limited mana. He can summon undead and use the exact same skill like yours. So its just very that even a single punch from an average human can destroy the clone. The mana is limited to how much you gave it when you created it. Right now, the total mana for it is 15. A single use of Raton no Jutsu used up to 45 mana. So it can use the Jutsu for once with much less power then it will cease to exist. If you let it be, then it will probably only survive for 3 minutes or less.”

“If it can use skills, then don’t absolute mana control be in effect for my clones?”

“No, using absolute mana control will cause fluctuation in the clone’s mana reservoir. The mana is basically yours and yours to control, but if the clones use absolute mana control it too then it will fight with your control and the mana will disperse. In this case, some passive skills are switched off due to certain condition. Plus, the clones have the same intellect as yours but they don’t have any consciousness. They will only do as you order. Orders can be given through telepathy too.”

“I see, I understand now. So my clones can only be used for offence since they cannot even get a single hit.” I punched the clone and he swaggered a little bit before turning back into shadow then disappeared just like that. Somehow, there was some kind of message in my brain telling me my clone was destroyed. This must be the telepathy that Ember said. I see a lot of potential for this clones as it will be useful for future recon missions and more.

Intense Battle

After trying out my skills, I went to Darrel’s group to watch their training. Their teamwork was improving but they still lack firepower. I took the opportunity to order the Lich to attack them using magic. The Lich lost since it have been using up the mana to summon lesser undead. They seem to have level up to level 8. I think they have higher level than the others now as I remembered most of them were level 3 or 4. They looked exhausted as they have used up a lot of their mana. So we headed back to the lecture hall and saw everyone was already packing up their bags. The training made me lose track of time and it was almost 5 o’clock.

“Harry! Did you enjoy trying out your power?” Ari called out to me as he walked along with Maru, Zafi, Rudy and Adam near the door.

“Haha, it was very fun. So how was your study?” I asked.

“It was okay, Adam explained properly but I still don’t understand some of it.”

“Sorry about that Ari, I should have explained it in more detail.” Adam smiled wryly as he apologize to Ari.

“No no, it’s okay. I should be thankful for your kindness for teaching me. Thank you.” Ari bowed to Adam. The conversation goes on with Maru interfering and of course, getting on my nerve. We walked together to the school gate and I bid farewell to them as I walked back alone.

Arriving at my house, as usual, I saw Auntie walking into the garden with her gardening tools. I wanted to greet her so I followed her to the garden. However, the garden that I have always played during my childhood was full of fairies, flying here and there, conversing with my Aunty. She saw me and greeted, “Ara, welcome back Harry…and you too Ember. How was school?”

“W-wait, you know Ember?! And why are there so many fairies here?!”

“Hohoho, you can finally see them huh? Then I think it’s time for me to explain it to you…” to make it short, she was born with the ability to listen and understand the feeling of plants. With that ability, she became a very good gardener and my father hired her. Before I was born, this garden never existed. So she was the one who planted all these flowers with care and they grew beautifully. Slowly, the beautiful garden attracted fairies and they ended up taking up residence here. She said that I used to play here a lot when I was small and my cheerfulness was also a factor that attracted the fairies. However I remembered one of Human Emperor’s rule was that only human were allowed to live in the real world. She explained that these fairies are born from the manifestation of mana in nature and some were even born from my cheerful and happy emotions. So their existent were special and was given special permission to live in the real world. “…arara, we have chatted too long. I still have lots of work to do, so can we continue this later?” I gave her space for her to continue her gardening.

I entered the house, still astounded with Aunty’s explanation. “I’m back!” the usual greeting and no answer. Seems like mother was out again. In my mind, I thought, ‘Shall I watch that ‘thing’ today?’

“What is with that smirk Harry? Naughty thoughts again?” brother Juu greeted me as he slides down the handrail of the stairs.

“Tsk…” I clicked my tongue at this dejavu. After I took off my shoes, I looked up and saw a fairy, again. With shaking hands, I point at the fairy standing on brother Ju’s shoulder. “…i-is that what I think it is.”

“Are you blind my brother? You have one on your shoulder and you’re still doubting the one on my shoulder?”

“Y-you have one too?!” I was so surprised with another shocking truth.

“Tsk, you’re so lucky my brother. To get such a cute fairy as that…” Now that I saw it properly, brother Ju’s fairy was a male with muscular body. The fairy snorted after hearing brother Ju’s word. “…well whatever, I have a few things to discuss. Meet me at the car-porch after dinner tonight.” He went to his room on the upper floor after saying those words. Somehow, I got a feeling that my family was keeping a secret from me. Aunty knew about fairies and brother Ju have his own fairy. Maybe the other family members have it too?

During dinner, everyone was present, but it was unusually silent. I see both brother Ju and Aunty did not bring their fairy. Ember was standing on my shoulder and I saw Daddy taking a few glances at her, so he must be able to see her. As for mother, she was only silently eating her food. I did not saw any fairy around her or around Daddy. There must be some kind of a reason. After dinner, I remembered that brother Ju had something to discuss with me and I went to the car-porch. I saw him leaning on his car with his fairy. “Oh, there you are. Get in the car”

“Ah, wait, why?”

“Just get in!” I opened the door and sit.

“What is it that you want to discuss?” When brother Ju entered the car, he mumbled some words and I could feel some kind of magic fluctuating around the car and I stared at him with my hand ready to activate Raton no Jutsu.

“Calm down bro, you’re over reacting. I’m just putting up a sound barrier around the car so no one can hear our conversation. Actually, I’m surprised you could feel my magic since it was so low in frequency.” I let out a sigh of relief as I let down my guard. I was also surprised that I could feel his magic and that it can be used to block sound.

“So what is so important that you put up a sound barrier.”

“I’m sure you are surprised to see me having a fairy. Aunty must have explained her parts.”

“So you are a contractor too?”

“Yeah I am. I’ve been a contractor for 7 years now. I was recruited when I was 15, younger than you are now. So I want you to know the risk of being a contractor and all. You can still back down from this task. You don’t even need to do this at all. You can keep your fairy and just quit while you can now.”

“Wait, what are you saying. I’m not quitting this. It’s already my responsibility and I should fulfil my job. I’m not going to be lazy anymore since this is a crisis our world is having...Did you perhaps, already quit?”

“*sigh* you are still new to this Harry, this is not just about saving our world, but there is a more sinister motive behind all this. You shouldn’t trust people too easily.”

“What?! What do you mean by sinister motive?”

“Well, forget what I say. Let me just say this straight, Mom is worried you know. She knows I am risking my life in doing this. And now, you’re risking your life. It makes her worries double. Brother Fi(Eldest brother) had already reach success in his life, a normal life. Unlike me, I’m already stuck to this weird world. For you Harry, you can still quit now before it’s too late. What I’m saying is that, think carefully before taking this seriously.”

“…so Mom knew? That means she have a fairy too.”

“No Mom doesn’t have any fairy and she can’t see it too. Aunty told her.”

“Huh? Then the conversation last night was all about me?”

“Yes, Aunty told her you were going to have a fairy.”

“I see, then Dad?..”

“Dad used to have fairy but I don’t know the reason he stopped.”

Hearing all these things make me think again about Mom, she must have been worrying about me this whole time. “…but I’m not quitting. I’m going to do this till the end. If this world is in crisis, then all of us would be in trouble. I must stop it before anyone get hurt. I’ll stick to this reason.”

“*sigh* whatever it is, just don't regret it okay?” I nod to his question.

“Hey Harry, your fairy looked pale. Did you even give her something to eat?”

I looked at Ember and she does looked pale with her hand holding her stomach “Wait, am I supposed too? Can’t she get it herself? Oi Ember, why didn’t you tell me you were hungry?”

“What the heck are you thinking? You’re her master, she have to wait until you allowed her to do so.” Then brother Ju handed me a packet of bread from his grocery bag. I hurriedly opened the wrapping and pinched some of the bread to suit Ember’s size and gave it to her.

“T-thank you Master.” She ate it slowly as she sat on my shoulder. It was so cute as if it was a hamster eating a nut.

“Seriously, you are so irresponsible Harry.”

“I have no idea okay!” I keep pinching off a piece of the bread and gave it to Ember until she was full.

“By the way, you’re going to pay me back for that bread.”

“Okay I get it!..So can I get off the car now?”

“Hmm? Want to have a battle?”

“…can we?” i looked at him, feeling slightly excited.

“Of course we can, I’ll take you to a place.” He drove the car to a large empty field near a river. It took about 30 minutes to get here.

“Harry, you always workout around this time of the night, right? Then, take this battle as your workout instead.” He got off the car and walked a 200 metres away and I started to feel another fluctuation of magic but this time it felt huge. I got off the car and stood 100 metres away from the car.

“Master, be careful. I sense a very powerful magic coming from him.” Ember told me with a serious look.

“Hey Harry, I’ve already put up a barrier so no one can hear or see us fighting here. Try your best okay because I won’t hold back.” I swallowed my saliva as I readied my stance nervously. Then he took out a staff out of nowhere and struck it on the ground. Suddenly a bluish magic circle appeared under his feet. He then took out a coin.

“You can ready your buff and all now. I will flip this coin and once it hits the ground, the battle starts.”

Hearing that, I summoned two skeleton knights and activate Raton no Jutsu. With the sparking sound of my lightning ball in my hand, I call out, “Okay, I’m ready. Flip the coin!” Tinggg, the metallic sound of the coin resounded and I kneeled like an athlete ready to sprint. The coin spins in mid air and hits the ground with a thud on the soft grass. I kicked the ground to boost my acceleration and shouted orders for the skeleton knights to attack. I suddenly fell with my face flat to the ground as something pulled my feet. I looked down and saw a tentacle-like rock was clinging on my feet. It must be brother Ju’s magic. I broke free of it by punching it with my left hand. I was surprised to see my punch was powerful enough to break the rock.

I looked up and saw brother Ju finished his chant and a fireball was heading towards me. I did not panic as the skeleton knight shield me from the fire ball. The other skeleton knight keep running towards brother Ju and swing its sword vertically at him but was blocked by a magic shield. It kept swinging and slicing but the magic barrier was too sturdy.

“O Ra, give me the light of the sun, protect us from the vile creature of the night, Light Ray!” with that chant, the attacking skeleton knight was blown away as it was hit by a bright light coming out from the staff of brother Ju. The skeleton knight was emitting a dark mist and disappeared after that first hit. Iit must have been a powerful light magic, powerful enough to one-hit-kill it.

I sprint off towards him again, this time carefully evading any protruding rock tentacle. The skeleton knight that was slower was left behind as I arrived in front of brother Ju who was creating a layer of magic shield. Seeing that, I hit the shield with my lightning ball as hard as I can and closed my eyes.

*Boom* a loud thunderous sound echoed along with a bright flash shining throughout the field. For a while there, I heard a shattering sound and I opened my eyes. I saw brother Ju was standing a few metres away while staggering and whipping his eyes, probably blinded by the flash. The ground I was standing was charred and replaced with a small crater

“Kuhhh, I didn’t expect your attack to be that strong.” the shattering sound must have been the magic shield that I destroyed. Brother Ju complaint with his eyes still half closed. I could also see some part of his cloth was burned. He started his chant again but the skeleton was already in front of him. Startled, he struggled to block the incoming swings from the skeleton knight using his staff. Suddenly, lots of rock tentacles protruded out of the ground and captured the skeleton knight limbs stopping its movement. I ran again to break the skeleton knight free but was too late as brother Ju chanted Light Ray and I was also blown away by the shockwave.

I stood up quickly to resummon my skeleton knight but brother Ju had already finished his chant “Fire Arrow!” A series of about 30 fire arrows started to form above brother Ju’s head and as he point towards my direction, all the flame arrows was shot out in all direction. I knew summoning undead would be too late so I activated Raton no Jutsu, but this time I forced the lightning ball to explode in front of me. Again, a loud thunder and a bright flash reverberated throughout the field.

The shock of the lightning strike shot through my hand managed to destroy dozens of arrows but the survived arrows hit the ground and gave out a small explosion. I was still blown away by the shockwave of the explosion. Laying on the ground, I pulled myself up slowly with a groan but brother Ju was already standing in front of me while pointing his staff towards me.

“You lose Harry. You got my compliment for actually managed to injure me like this.” When I looked up, I saw his left shoulder was slightly burned and bleeding. Probably that last lightning strike grazed brother Ju’s shoulder.

“*sigh* that was a hard fight. You win brother Ju.” Sitting down, I tried to hold in the aching pain on my whole body. Those explosions sure did throw rocks and debris at high speed making my left hand and both legs bleeding due to deep cuts. Brother Ju squat down and started healing me,

“I’ll tell you honestly, you really did fight well. Those dark knights were definitely strong. If you were to summon a lot more of it, I’m sure I would be cornered. Plus, the lightning strikes were also powerful. Not many people can break through my magic shield. You can be proud with that.” I felt slightly relief hearing those compliments. After brother Ju healed himself, we went back to the house. When we arrived, Aunty was already waiting at the entrance and said he would sew our torn cloth and kept our battle a secret from Mom.

Even though brother Ju’s healing also cleanse dirt from my body, but I still took my shower to cool my head down. I was determined to get stronger and make sure I will not be defeated anymore as I tucked myself in the bed. ‘To protect myself, no to protect others, I need more power and to do

that I need to train myself harder’.
