MIND DIVE 14: First Encounter with Tess (Kyoi Feng) “Feng, see you tomorrow in class! Thanks for the notes again! You really saved me today in class!” a girl waved goodbye to Kyoi near the school gates. “That’s what classmates are for, right?” Kyoi headed the opposite direction of the girl. I inspected the nameplate outside of the school gates. …

Shane and Emily sat at a conference table, holding a meeting with Zhuyu, Kisai, and Shan. A medium sized stack of papers were in front of each hero. The math major stared down at his papers, marking it with his fancy pen. Kisai leaned back on his seat, nodding at their words. Shan adjusted his pile before pulling out a …

“Tomo, are you okay? I heard Zhuyu messed you up!” Ichaival sat down next to me. “I should be fine by tomorrow. It’s just I never actually taken such a beating from anyone before,” I admitted, not feeling the sharp pain from before. Ichaival and En arrived five minutes later.

Magical energy pulsated through the wires, traveling towards Kisai’s body. Wait, that wasn’t Lilith’s doing. It was all of the hero’s own magic.

Ten minutes later, I sat in the stands, pressing an ice pack against my sore shoulder. Tess stood next to me, wearing an ear piece. These seats were much more comfortable compared to my last visit here. Shane and Emily, wearing athletic clothing, sparred with each other while waiting for the two heroes. I’m surprised Tess selected Zhuyu since he …

Future Mock Battle #2: Yuki v Jacque I didn’t know how to approach this fight. In my world, he was a support. If I was completely honest, the artist was just a stepping stone. No offense, of course, Jacque! He was vulnerable to all attacks if no one defended him. Pretty much just me when I first started without knowing …

“Welcome! I arrived too early and cleaned up the exterior!” Yukie appeared from the back, a white scarf tied over her mouth and a apron draped over her clothes. “Yukie, I’m glad to see you’re doing well in the future,” I greeted. Yukie removed her scarf and promptly hugged me. Zhuyu and Jacque entered first, allowing the two of us …

Sunday Spring Quarter 2016 Week 2 “Is it really safe?” I stared at Tess, questioning her judgment. “It’s an efficient, accelerated growth opportunity,” Tess replied, adjusting one of her hairpins. I understood her reasoning but still didn’t like the idea. She pulled me aside once I arrived, asking to speak with me in private. Tess decided it was in my …

Za’ard Eastern District, Block A “You sure no one followed you?” a well-dressed man questioned, tapping the stacks of cardboard boxes with his utility knife. “What do you take me for? This isn’t my first time transporting the goods, you know? Don’t worry about it!” the delivery man opened up a box, giving the customer a preview of the items …
