Sunday Summer Quarter 2016 Week 3 “You wanted to know about our past?” Kaze sparred with me in the training facility. “I was curious about the dimension you were stationed in,” I answered, blocking her punch. “I can answer that once we finish,” Kaze answered. We headed to the rest area in the facility after showering. There was a vending …

Volume 14, Chapter 40: Summer Happenings (I)

Wednesday Summer Quarter 2016 Week 3 I watched Lionel spar with Champ in our training facility. Lionel hurled Champ to the ground, and trapped him in a submission, wrenching the man’s arm. Champ somehow escaped and countered with a weak punch. “Here for some training?” Ruiqi sat next to me. “Just watching them practice. What about you, Ruiqi?” I asked. …

Sunday Summer Quarter 2016 Week 2 I entered the Crossroads and saw Xi. Ruiqi chatted with her as the absolute defender took notes. “Glad I’m not the first one,” I greeted them. “Tomo, it’s been awhile. How have you been?” Ruiqi asked. “Hello,” Xi greeted, putting away her notepad. Ruiqi walked over to the counter. Damn, this was awkward. I …

Shan Shigetzu v. Samuel Samuel wore two silver bracelets, one on each side of his wrist. In a serious magical duel, Shan was outmatched. However, his multiple weapons protected him against most magical attacks, ass long as Samuel didn’t execute anything too ridiculous.  Samuel threw jabs at Shan, disabling the man’s gravitational powers with the aid of his bracelets. The gravity manipulator dodged each one, landing a kick …

Another interesting interior design as always. Ten framed treasure maps hung on the wall alongside posters of flying planes. An open wooden chest, full of sweets, was displayed on the back table. Lyra wore an eyepatch and a matching pirate’s outfit. I yawned, tired from just getting off work. “Welcome, my delightful crew members! It’s time we embark into the …

“Hands up in the air! No sudden movements!” one shouted. Shan raised his hands in the air and glanced over at me. Our opponents dropped to the ground.  I accelerated forward and encased all five in ice. That was too easy. There had to be backup coming. “Jacque, can you drive?” Shan inquired. “I don’t have my license but I’ve …

Volume 14, Chapter 34: Lake Rahu Underground (II)

Shan rose up from the destroyed table, clutching his stomach. He summoned a martial arts staff, steadying himself. The beast flapped its wings, generating a large gust of wind. The hero remained in place. Our enemy snarled at him, charging towards the man headfirst again. Shan swung his weapon upward, striking the beast’s forehead and stopped it in its tracks. He propelled …

“Look who’s back!” Shan pointed at Ichaival. “You know I had something to do that day,” Ichaival responded with a sigh. “Welcome to Tachibana’s Fishing Emporium where you’ll find all your fishing and water needs!” Lyra wore a fisherman’s vest and white cap. “Whoa! I’m always impressed by how much she changes up the place,” Jacque commented, looking around in awe. Different models of fishing poles hung …
