There was a slight tension in the air—an uncomfortable one. They had to convince Julio to get their answer to the puzzle, because his relationship with Darrion had to convince him somehow to help. Or at least, he hoped the man would help.
Jai tried convincing, “In a good side, we are able to promote your shoes by bringing yours to the checking table.”
Julio gave another hum and turned to him. His expression was painted with doubt, “I don’t know. Giving away my shoes like that doesn’t sit well with me.”
Darrion looked at Jai, wanting to discuss whether they should change stores, bu

A short burly man with ash brown hair crossed his hands in front of his chest. He had a thick mustache and beard, and this unreadable expression on his face. He was wearing a head protector made of iron, a google slinging on his neck, and a grey tank top with black stains and sweat. His brown baggy pants that reached his ankle was held by black suspenders. His feet was bare, and it was noticably big."I don't like sweets."The man's voice was scratchy and deep. There's this sort of... Gravitas, in his voice, that would attract anyone within its vicinity to cower away slowly. It wasn't anger or irritation, just... A bit intimidating.Jai and Darrion would have gulped. Because this might prove to be more difficult than the situation with Papa Julio. But their surroundings were not very... Supportive.But before that, let us recap so you guys could get what the situation was.Jai and Darrion were

"They are those who have not solve the first puzzle, but are determined to finish it right away no matter what method they use."Jai was thinking what Diggle meant by that. He did not feel anything wrong with that sentence. The last phrase though, sounded similar to saying that there was egoistical or selfish emotion involved."I'm feeling something from the last sentence. Do you remember when Mr. Diggle said, 'no matter what method they use'? It was like, it's saying that, they will do anything to win. But they dismiss the consequences that might come up," Darrion said, doubtfully. The blonde was still not used to think hard over things like this, but he was determined to try."Yes, I'm thinking the same. It involves selfishness, and we had seen that happened a couple times in the first round," Jai responded. He put the show box down on the porch."It's clear as day that those people were visibly vi

"Welcome back!" The twins greeted. "You're almost late!"Jai and Darrion entered the restaurant in Atla Fountain. Despite the crowd in Atla Fountain, the guards looked pissed as well but their efforts in kicking the participants away was futile; the restaurant was not that crowded. Only few people were inside, enjoying their food.The twins were there too and enjoying their snacks. They greeted Jai and Darrion when they entered the restaurant.Darrion took the free seats near the twins table for Jai and him to sit. Jai immediately sat and bent over to the table, wheezing.The bob haired twin offered a plate of cookies while the bed hair twin took his fork. He started poking Jai on the head. "What is wrong with him?" He asked.Darrion took a cookie and munched, saying, "I dragged him while using speed run."The bob haired twin gave an apologetic look and patted
The Last Thunder 030 - See You in Two Days
Wind blew gently passed the buildings and the people below. The sun was setting, and it painted the sky with a soft hue of orange, pink, and purple.Bubbles of light gathered in strings were set in between post lamps in the streets of Aeronvein Castle. Stands for festival were also decorated with lights and other lighting decorations to attract more customers.The streets were very crowded, and seemed to be more crowded than in the day. There were more stands selling small goods and snacks. Some people were also performing on the streets. They were dancing, performing fighting styles, element controlling... Some were also doing stand up and making people laugh. All of them entertaining passerby, children, and stand workers alike.In contrary to day time that was very crowded, the Grand Square was not that crowded during night time. People were bustling on the streets rather than the square, since there were more stands now to look at.
The Last Thunder 031 - Training Spot
Jai stirred the soup slowly. He took a spoon from the dish rack and spooned the soul a bit. He blew it softly before sipping. The taste on his tongue made him frowned.He wasn't a great cook, but he certainly can cook up a dish or two that taste somewhat...okay. In the Before, he might have lived alone and spent his time mostly for work. But that doesn't mean he was too busy to care for his own well-being. He enjoyed good food.Jai took the small salt jar and added a pinch of salt into the pot. He then stirred it once more.Something climbed on Jai's back and settled on his shoulder. The creature watched with interest as Jai stirred the pot."I don't really know what I'm cooking, really. I've never actually made soup with raw ingredients," Jai muttered.A meow echoed in his right ear.Jai shrugged, "I bought my soup from can. They're pre-made, so I just have to heat them up."
The Last Thunder 032 – Big Brother Jai is Training
Jai took a deep breath, and then he let it out slowly. He then raised his left foot up as well as both of his hands… In the stance of a crane or... Well, like a bird that was flapping its wings. He raised his hands until they made an arch above his head, and then he thrust his fists forward with a shout."Ha!!" Jai shouted."HAIYAA!!" some adorable voices followed afterward.Jai then changed position. He was now facing at the river, and he took another stance. He was kneeling with one foot on the ground and both of his hands were in front of him, with palms facing down. His hands now resembled a praying mantis.Another fist thrust followed after, alongside a shout of 'Ha!' Which then followed by cute echoes of 'Haiya!'.Jai's eye twitched. He turned his attention to the other side of the river. There were around 7 children right there, boys and girls, who were looking at him with curiosity
The Last Thunder 033 – Tiny Spark
It was very small. It felt like a soft poke. He tried calling it again, ‘Little lightning?’This time, it felt like a pinch, he could feel it more than the previous one, and the position was in Jai’s left side—a small spot in between his ribs.‘Hello, little lightning?’ Jai greeted.Another pinch. Then the feeling wavered a bit and stayed on Jai’s ribs. The feeling was gradually turning warm. Jai somehow knew that it was responding to him, and that it stayed warm so Jai knew it was still there. Jai tried not to get excited at the sudden respond, but he sure was glad. But he didn’t know what to ask next.‘Uhm… My name is Jai… Do you know that you are inside me?’ Jai asked.There was no response at first, but then he felt the feeling wavered. Jai was confused, he was thinking if the warm spot was as confused as him. He then asked another question, “Uh… Are you a lightning?’The warm s
The Last Thunder 034 - First Skill Unlocked
Jai punched his right fist forward, followed by his left fist. Then he kicked his right foot forward and crouched, before doing an acrobatic front flip.BAM!His right foot landed on the ground with a lightning stomp.It had been 3 hours since Jai continued his training. He almost got the hang of what he could do with his lightning.He kinda guessed about the warm and trickle feeling he felt before the lightning struck out. The trickle feeling he felt was his spark, the lightning, that was coursing through his veins underneath the skin. That was why he felt warmth, because there was electricity stirring his body from the inside.Before he tried the lightning stomp just now, he had a few trials.First, he tried shooting it again from his palm. He managed to do it, but it wasn't as big as the first one, the one when everyone was taken by surprise. He changed to his left hand and shot it again, bu
