A/N: Sequel to Ch. 35: "Cheating".
Isaac, Ivan, and Jenna: Justice
Isaac is reading a book in the common area. An adventure book, this time, because Garet is borrowing his…other book. Isaac is thoroughly enjoying the story when Ivan bursts through the door and proceeds to hide behind the couch Isaac is sitting at. The Venus Adept looks up from his book to ask Ivan what in the world is he doing when Ivan puts a finger to his lips and says in a hushed voice, "Shh! I'm hiding from Jenna."
Isaac raises an eyebrow but shrugs his shoulders and continues reading. A minute later, Jenna bursts through the door and Isaac is taken aback a bit because he can literally see the anger oozing out of Jenna's pores and the Earth Adept wonders what could have possibly happened to make Jenna this angry.
"Where the hell is Ivan?" she demands, her voice dripping in poison.
Isaac turns a page. "Why do you want to know?"
"Because he cheated twenty coins off of me!"
Isaac stops reading to look up at his friend. "He's behind this couch."
Immediately, Ivan pops out in indignation. "Awwww, dang it, Isaac! I told you to keep quiet! Jenna's gonna kill me!"
Said girl narrows her eyes as she hisses the unfortunate Wind Adept's name. Ivan lets out a sound similar to an "eep" and proceeds to run for his life. And before Jenna can even take a step toward him, the blond-haired youth is already out the door. Jenna lets out a frustrated scream.
"Agh! I keep losing him!"
Isaac turns another page. "He has been training with Felix, you know. He's gotten a lot stronger, and a lot faster."
Jenna harrumphs and turns toward the door, determination in every step she takes. "Training or no, I'm gonna find that guy and when I do he'll be giving back more than just twenty coins."
She leaves the room and the door slams shut behind her.
Isaac feels bad for Ivan. Maybe he shouldn't have told Jenna where he was hidden. Then he thinks about what Jenna said and decides that no, Ivan is definitely getting exactly what he asked for.
