The Last Thunder 594 – Firm
The day before.A woman wearing dull olive clothes and brownish pants walked up the stairs leading to the Komatsu mansion. She is one of the two attendants in this house. Formerly, they have three, two females and one male. But the other female was fired recently, because she helped the male escape. Although the male attendant was eventually caught, she still couldn’t save her job.The woman stopped just in front of the door. She checked her bag once again, making sure the groceries are indeed correct and nothing less.“Fruits, vegetables, flours… The milk was delivered this morning.” She looked to the side of the door, where the crate of milk is usually put by the milkman, but she didn’t find it there. “Oh the milks and the newspaper’s gone. Haato-san must’ve brought it inside.” She thought out loud.She shrugged and entered through the door. But she was immediately surprised by the figure in front of her. “Eh? Akane-san?”A young woman with short, pale brown hair and beautiful hazel

Akane went to wake her mother. The old woman woke up feeling joy to see her lovely daughter coming home. But the next second she told her about her concern, the old woman’s smile faltered. “Can’t you persuade father, mother? It’s pitiful. Just for something we can earn just by waiting a few more years?” Akane asked. Rio sighed and folded her blanket on her lap. But then the folded blanket was pulled by the little Shitone sitting beside the futon. The old woman let her though. “Akane-chan. Your father did this to protect our family.” “But we did just fine with Uncle Fu’s help! I mean, please, mother…” She pleaded to her mother. “Imagine me in his place. Would you be fine with that?” “You’re different.” Rio immediately said. “You and Haato are different. You’re our precious daughter while he’s just someone else. Don’t compare yourself to him, Akane-chan.” “But he still has family. You can’t deny that.” Akane said. “Yes, but you don’t have to worry. He’s going to the queen, and you
The Last Thunder 596 – Meet-up
Some says that the King is being unreasonable for speeding the Hunting Event. But actually, he was being the opposite. He was being reasonable because the said event was actually postponed because of his sickness. Of course, since the Hunting Event was never in an exact date, it could be held more than twice a year, so no one else really cares when it was held unless it’s the Hunting Season.In the Hunting Season, well, like its name, is the season for hunting monsters. At this time, the monsters from the last breeding season would’ve already grown into adults, which means they’re more dangerous, which means the kingdom would perish if they let all those monsters roam around freely.But no, this previously postponed Hunting Event is the kind to see the talents of youngsters over the months. It’s held specially for the students to show their progress to their teachers. Or for students to be legally paid for the hunt in the event. Since students are not allowed to work or involve themse
The Last Thunder 597 – The Registration
Still on the same day, but three hours laters, a meeting was held in a different place in the Fire Kingdom. In the North Town, to be exact, it was less crowded than other towns.This is where the elite gathers after all. They do not flock themselves together like sheeps thrashing the streets like what was happening all around. No, they do it in their way. They held tea parties and lunch meetings to ‘have a chat’.Due to the surprise announcement in the paper, people’s plans had to change, and they have to give this sudden Hunting Event attention.Among these elites that were having their meetings with each other, there were some others who were invited to join. Others who weren’t ‘elite’. And among them, is the Komatsu family.“Oh don’t be nervous, Sen-chan.” Rio patted Sen’s knee.Sen, who was looking outside the window of the carriage, turned to his mother-in-law. Looking a bit confused, he said. “I’m not nervous. Why do you think I’m nervous?”Rio giggled. “You’re fidgeting.” She p
The Last Thunder 598 – Grinding (1)
Torfo finally put down the weights he was pulling. Sweats rolled down his face and necks, and all over his topless body. He leaned on the wall of the barrack for a couple of minutes, evening his breath and relaxing his muscles. Working out always help him clear his mind. He was a lot calmer now than he was an hour ago. Before, his head was spinning with worrisome thoughts, specifically about his best friend.It had only been a few weeks that Jai’s letter, but it felt like months to Torfo. He wanted to know if he managed to find Alex yet. He was very worried. If only his departure is not a threat to the peace between Aeronvein and Pyreblair, he would’ve gone already. But he was very famous after the tournament, and he couldn’t just go like that. Disguise could only go so much to cover him, but also his post in the military.He’s a bright soldier here, and he held a figure to every lower ranks. Even if he is someone favored by his higher ups, they couldn’t let him go willy nilly because
The Last Thunder 599 – Grinding (2)
Claude searched on the opposite blocks of where Jai was looking. There were some shops, and a guard post. He had to study many things in the past, including being a temporary windlet, so he knew what he had to say in asking people. Thus, it didn’t take long for him to find some ‘rumours’.“So I actually got through some people that they claimed to have seen a redhead around a week ago. And they think that he’s related to the Komatsu because he was carrying a baby and one of the Komatsu girl was walking with him. None of them knew what relation they have.”Jai leaned on the building behind him as he looked over to the Komatsu’s mansion. Shoru’s head was poking from the bag, her tongue only partially out, making her look absolutely cute. Jai fed her some treats to keep her entertained, and while he was doing that, he replied Claude. “Who are the people did you ask?”“Uhh… A guard, a man manning a stand, a woman who was watering her lawn, some people.” Claude answered beside him. “How ab
The Last Thunder 600 – Confrontation
Jai and Claude dodged the stars shot at them to opposite sides from each other, which effectively separates them two of them. The two ninjas immediately moved between the two of them, hindering them from working together. The one in front of Jai is the skinny ninja while the one in front of Claude is the bigger ninja, and from their appearance, both of them looked like men.“Careful, Jai. They’re very agile.” Claude warned his friend on the other side.Jai’s knowledge about ninjas are only from the animated movies that he saw. Even in the movies, ninjas are shown to be swift in their movements, and is a master of disguise. While Jai didn’t know if they have definitive outfits or not—because the movie he usually watched shows the ninjas wearing casual outfits, along with blue or black ninja boots that show their toes—but he knew the thing that he should look out for is the hands. Even in movies, their hands could swiftly change weapons in a matter of millisecond. If he misses that weir
The Last Thunder 601 – Meeting the Komatsu
Jai obviously wouldn’t back down, and he seems to care about breaking this house down along with whoever is inside it more than himself being recognized.What’s more is that the art of exploding oneself is not a beginner course. It needs to be studied fully and under supervision in order to at least master the process of the action—because no one could come back after exploding themselves. Not even dragons could bring you back if it does happen.Hayate actually doubted that he could actually do what he said he would do. Because in the record, Jai Waetford came from a small and insignificant village in the Wind Kingdom. But the fact that he could obtain the 3rd rank in the recent, medium scale tournament, it is an amazing feat. For someone who has never participated in a tournament before, and for someone who does not study in the academy to control his magic before, Jai is obviously a rare gem.Which is why even though Hayate doubted him, he didn’t want to risk it happening. Because b
