Winter Break 2016 Week 3 Tuesday “I don’t like where this is heading,” I remarked. “Don’t worry so much. We’ll have fun,” Felicity said. Felicity convinced Tess to allow me a rest day, declaring I needed a break from training. Our destination was Kisai’s house to do…. something. “I’m helping you out. You’ll get to know everyone better,” Felicity said. …

Ace sat on the branch of a tall tree, watching a young woman enter her house. She leaped downward, a twenty-foot plunge, and landed with grace. The former leader then knocked on the front door. “Yes, how may I help you?” the young woman questioned. “Sorry for bothering you so late. I’m new to the area and I’m a bit …

“That should be it. Time for classes. Wonder what we’re learning today?” Ichizen said in an excited voice. I sighed and followed him to the next class. I still couldn’t fathom how we evaded punishment after that. I noticed Chihiro and Yuka already in class. Oh yes! I didn’t have to be stuck with Ichizen anymore. “Yuki, you seemed tired. …

Semester 1 2014-2015 School Year Week 8 I opened my eyes, seeing Ichizen. How was that possible? I inspected my clothes, noticing a high school badge on it. Was this a mind dive into my own memories? No, this was different. I was no longer an observer, but an active participant. “Are you sure you got enough sleep? You look …

“A third party, unrelated to our matters, has appeared,” Ace said, standing on a rooftop. A nearby crow landed, hopping towards the woman. It gave out a loud caw and ascended upward, dropping something from its claws before disappearing from her sight. She knelt downward, picking up a piece of string. “It’s from a masquerade mask. Why don’t you just …

“Long, I hope you don’t mind, but we would like to do a checkup,” Shane requested, carrying a clipboard in his right hand. “Go ahead,” Zhuyu agreed, nodding his head. “This might take awhile, so you might want to check out the attractions nearby. Tess, I would like you to stay behind. Feng too,” Emily suggested. “As you wish,” Tess …

“Okay, are both sides ready? Go!” Tess shouted, jumping down into the fighting area. At first, neither side made a move, staring each other down. Zhuyu didn’t even look at the couple, monitoring the ceiling with concern on his face. Was he just messing around and not even trying? If so, Ichaival would be screwed. “Come on, what are you …

Bartholomew fell to the floor, tripping on one of the many invisible strings Lilith wove. Once his foot contacted the string, a loud explosion triggered. He emerged from the resulting smoke, coughing and charred from the blast. “You’re still not agile enough yet,” Lionel commented, offering him a helping hand. “Thanks. I still don’t know how you manage to slip …

“The bus is here, Tomo. Let’s go,” Tess shook my shoulders. “How many stops until we get there?” I asked, following the Gatekeeper to the middle section. “I never counted. From what I can recall, it’s around twelve stops,” Tess replied. Oh, how rare. Tess usually was very observant. Out of habit, I placed my hands down expecting to pull …

Once outside, I squinted as the bright sunlight shone down on us. Tess glanced at her tablet screen. She circled something with her stylus and glanced at the street sign in the corner. “Let’s head toward the park. There is a portal leading to where we need to go,” Tess commanded. The large park contained swings, slides, see-saws, balance beams, …
