Cai Kang was in her room trying to study but just stopped to groan. She decided that the other girls go back despite their protests with only Nuying staying behind. There are five girls left on the island that she can't find. She needs a bath but stops upon noticing a large water basin to wash her face in. She is reluctant to try it but she's been practicing it for a while since she discovered it.She did a couple of handsigns she remembers seeing in one of her dreams and she shrunk to a tiny size and jumped in the basin. She then appeared at the beach. She quickly went back to normal size and immediately felt dizzy and nauseous. Realizing she's gonna vomit, she quickly ran to a secluded part of the island and threw up. This ability to change size is useful but it causes extreme changes to the body which would come with its own side effects especially vertigo. She should be glad that her organs are still in the right place and size. She hasn't mastered it for long so it will take a whi

Cai Kang suddenly appears in a familiar setting with no idea how he got there. It is filled with many lushous trees and after walking a bit further, he can see he is at the edge of a cliff with a view of a river, immediately recognizing the place. It's the Fujian province. He thought then continued walking a bit more until he saw a giant tree. "This was not there before." He said to himself before walking towards it. He then saw a large engraving on it. "明" he said to himself and touched it. He looked at it for a moment and realized something.Cai Kang opened his eyes to a view of the ceiling. With a gasp, he stood up wide awake noticing the number of beds in one room and all the people on them. It was everyone and they are all injured. Even the girls were not spared lightly. The only one he doesn't notice is Nuying. Of course she's fine. Her own self-healing abilities are far stronger and faster than all of theirs. Cai Kang isn't injured but he feels sore for the first time in years.

Cai Kang looked at the tree with the poorly carved character 明 on it. Ming. It means bright. There are many meanings to Ming. He can't help but stare at the tree, not understanding its meaning but mesmerized by it. Then he saw someone in the distance. Due to the sun's glare, he had trouble seeing what is in front of him and could only see the sillhouette. The sillhouette is a young woman with long wavy hair and wearing a school uniform. Then after getting closer, he recognizes her. Her hair and eyes were the color of the desert sand and her smile is just as joyful and hearty."Maiko," he says is bewilderment. Upon hearing her name, Maiko turns to see Cai Kang with her usual joyful smile. She pulled his arm and led him to the grass and twirls him around and around like they are in a ballroom dance before pulling his arm somewhere. It is clear that she is leading him somewhere. No words are said.She led him to a cliff which shows the view of a large civilization that stretches beyond t

After the trio were finally let in, Nuying and Xianliang sneered at the guards as they walked in and made themselves comfortable."What is up with the security? Did you have a break in?" Xianliang asked."It is the Nadeshiko Squadron. They are an elite squad who are normally positioned in Osaka but they are here for some reason." Konomi said. "They just appeared and surrounded the place." she stared at Cai Kang and Kurai. It is quite clear to her. "Do you know why they're here then?" Ren asked his sister."I help administrate and manage the Shiratori family but not its military. I'm afraid that I know nothing." she said."Surely, you must've known with that sharp hearing of yours." Nuying said to Kazuha."No, I won't in my own house." she said. "Ever since my potential unlocked, there is a barrier in each room to prevent sound from coming out. That barrier has strengthened since the Nadeshiko Squadron entered. Even if I want to eavesdrop, I won't be able to." "They're here for us." K

Kurai followed the pair but before he knew it, he suddenly felt like the ground beneath him is light and felt himself falling. He is tempted to use his fire to fly but stopped by a sudden roar."Don't you dare use your flames!"Kurai didn't argue back but is still falling before it suddenly stops and Kurai opens his eyes and held his still fast beating heart and noticed he is extremely warm and sweaty as his clothes are completely wet. He was panting in both fear and is obviously perturbed. He looked behind him to see Yuto also panting a bit but he doesn't seem as overwhelmed as him."How do you feel?" Yuto asked while using his towel to pat himself dry."Strong" Kurai said. His chi feels warm and he feels like he's strong enough to create a fire wheel but it feels incomplete."Congrats, that was your first chakra point. It was a lot faster because you apparently remember something that triggered it. Normally it would've taken days but with us as dragons, it gives quite a boost.""Trig
