Chapter 11
…
…
Student Council Office…
After the fierce battle between Elsword and Ara, Raven went back to the SC office to report the result and everything he found out during their battle. He explained to Rena and Eve who the two stayed in the office since morning for their work as the council member.
Raven gave them a quick detail explanation on how Elsword manage to control his power and unexpectedly attained his Avatar mode.
"Wow~ that was fast indeed, we should thank Ara-chan(Eun) for a job well done~" [Rena]
"…What happen to Elsword after the battle?" [Eve]
"When I left, he was currently unconscious due to extreme fatigue" [Raven]
"I...see"[Eve]
"Eve there's no need to worry about him, you said it yourself his strong and tough so something like that won't bother him" [Rena]
"You're right…" [Eve]
Eve nodded, actually during her work she was always looking outside her window watching outside like she was looking at someone.
She was very worried and restless during the time of their work that Rena had to cheer her up from behind. Of course, Eve didn't doubt him, he was strong and obstinate that nothing can bring his will down as long as he can put everything in to it.
That's why she believes in him…
"There is…something else"[Raven]
"Hmm? What is it?" [Rena]
"…?"[Eve]
"While I was observing their battle, I had sense a strong intent that was lurking somewhere…I believe there were intruders that were well concealed while watching the match but as soon as I went to check it out, they quickly vanish" [Raven]
"Is that so…Eve what do you think" [Rena]
After hearing this, Rena asked Eve's of her opinion that also left her with a troubled stern face.
"I have a bad feeling…we need to hurry" [Eve]
"Right it's a good thing Aisha returned just in time" [Rena]
"She's back?" [Raven]
"Yes, thankfully Aisha came a few minutes ago from her concert tour hence, finally the seven of us are all complete, we can now prepare the ritual for the Teleportation to Elrios, right Eve" [Rena]
"Yes…I'll contact Mother afterward" [Eve]
*Knock~ Knock~*
While the three youth were in the middle of their discussing, a knock was heard that they immediately held their voices.
"Come in…" [Rena]
"Excuse us" [?]
As the door opened, Rena and the others were relief to see two familiar faces that came in, it was Chung and Ara who followed back after the battle with Elsword
"Ara-chan~, how is it? Did you have some fun with Elsword?" [Rena]
"Fueh~! w-what are you talking about rather I made I big mistake that I almost kill him!" [Ara]
"Ara-senpai please calm down…" [Chung]
"But thanks to you Elsword awaken and Aisha just return a while ago from her trip …with this we can finally proceed to the next stage" [Rena]
"Wah? Does that mean we can finally go to Elrios!" [Ara]
"Yes~"[Rena]
"Kueh…"[Ara]
"Ara is there something wrong?" [Rena]
"Kuhhu…f-finally I can save my Onii-sama…I-I'm glad" [Ara]
Ara cried while watery tears had started to flood her eyes.
"Come on now don't start crying over it we need to prepare our self in order to succeed, that's why be strong."[Rena]
"H-Hai!"[Ara]
"By the way, where is Elsword?" [Rena]
"Ah, he said he was already tired and wanted to go home first for a bath"[Chung]
"Oh may~" [Rena]
"Is there something wrong?" [Chung]
"It's just a bit coincidence but Aisha too said the same thing not long ago…" [Rena]
""…""
Suddenly, the room mood froze like a cold breeze passes by.
As they slowly comprehend what Rena just said, everyone was stone speechless in a brief moment and after a few seconds finally someone stood up and spoke to break the killing silence.
"We better go home quickly…"[Eve]
Maybe because she experienced it before, Eve somehow felt uneasy and with that everyone agreed.
…
…
…ELsword POV
On the next day…
"Urrghh…"[Elsword]
As I opened my eyes…I woke up having a throbbing head ache and when I tried to sit up to the bed, I quickly held my head due to sudden vertigo.
Huh…?
There was a bandage wrapped around my crown, which I didn't remember when did I get a head injury.
Did I got it during my battle with Ara?
Hmm…Strange…I can't remember anything after that…
I crossed my arms trying to recall yesterday event but after thinking it thoroughly nothing came out, no matter how hard I think the memory was blurred and at the same time my head hurts when I'm forcing it, is like there something traumatic that's blocking my mind as if I am not allowed to remember it.
…Sigh never mind, with a heavy sighed I stood up and made my way to the bathroom to wash my face as I passed by the living room I remembered that today is Monday…
We have classes today and when I looked at the wall clock it's 5:50am, which is a bit early from the usually time I woke up.
It's a bit early should I go do some light jog or maybe some sword swing to pass time either way anything is fine since everyone might be still in bed.
But before that I better prepare a light breakfast first.
Thus I went to the kitchen to look something inside the refrigerator that can be eaten.
"Ohayo...Mr. Hentai~"[?]
"Oh? Ohay—Wahh!?"[Elsword]
While I was busy looking for food, I suddenly heard a voice and once I turned to see who it was.
There was a girl already sitting at the dining table eating fresh toast and then in an instant, a nightmare which began to flashes back to my head as recognized her face.
The bath scene and the sound of foot stumping, all of it remembering it in an instant that I franticly shrieks away a few steps to the wall.
"Isn't that I bit rude to shout once you saw my face?"[Aisha]
The girl made a fixed smile, a furious one which made obvious that she's dreadfully irritated.
Exaggerating as it seems, it made me terribly surprise after that tragic incident that happened yesterday which leads me to more…cautious of her.
To be more precise, this cute purpled twin pony-tailed girl with a fierce look like a cat is my childhood friend, Aisha.
Well somehow she seems different from what I remember…
"What are you doing here?"[Elsword]
"Hah, Are you stupid? I live here you idiot"[Aisha]
"Idiot!?"[Elsword]
I know I'm not a bright person but since when did she start calling me that!
"Hmph!, a-anyway how's your head?"[Aisha]
"My head?…ah right I'm fine this is nothing, haha"[Elsword]
I bitterly laughed, frankly the pain wasn't that much to complain about compared to the injury I suffered in my previous battle this head injury is nothing.
"I…see"[Aisha]
"Are you perhaps worried about me?"[Elsword]
"Wha!? wh-wh-wha-t the hell!, I'm not! I'm just worried that we might waste some time waiting for an idiot like you to recover, since everyone decided to perform the Teleportation ritual by midnight but because of the incident yesterday…I-I went a bit overboard…is not like I'm guilty nor felt any regret of smashing a pervert like you…but it will be a problem if we delay any more time, S-so don't misinterpret it, you stupid idiot!"[Aisha]
With a mad red face like a tomato, she slammed the table with her hands and started yelling at me.
"Calling me stupid for no good reason are you also an idiot?"[Elsword]
I sarcastically asked back.
"What did you say!, you stupid pervert peeping tom!, clearly your dumb enough cause you can't tell you're a monkey brain who went straight to the bathroom to peep!"[Aisha]
"What!"[Elsword]
Obviously, I did went straight to the bathroom and since I don't have the slightest idea that there was someone already inside more like a girl…thought it's already the second time anyway how should I know since I thought everyone was still away and more importantly it's not my fault that she walked out naked with only towel on!
Relax…sigh
I shrugged as I breathe out heavily…ok let's take this easy, there is no need to start a fight instead I'll be humble since it's our warm reunion.
"Ok I apologize for what happened yesterday it's truly my fault but don't worry I didn't see a thing since there is nothing worth seeing" [Elsword]
"Hoo…what do you mean? May I ask want you were expecting?" [Aisha]
Aisha said while slowly building up hostility toward me, well since she asked I'll tell her my honest thoughts.
"Hmm…on the contrary I didn't expect much after seeing you with a towel on, since your Fla—kuhh!"[Elsword]
But before I could finish my sentence, Aisha instantly grabbed an apple which was place at the table and with that apple she threw it directly in my face.
"SHUT UP AND EAT THAT!"[Aisha]
…
…
Aisha Sanders
From what I remember at my childhood years, she's very different, I mean literally different from this current one who most likely act violent with an obnoxious mouth.
During those days, well she used to be very docile, timid or should I say weak. Since Aisha was young she has a weak constitution which made her distant from the kids of her age due to constantly staying at home.
Nonetheless, there was a time where her body was well that she sometimes went to nearest park to play however, because of her timidity she was like a small animal hiding from a tree at the park while watching other kids playing and because of her passive attitude she eventually got herself bullied.
Of course I helped her out that soon after that I became her friend and we started playing together.
How should I put this…reflecting that time, she used to be clingy around me but now
"Idiot stop dozing off!"[Aisha]
*Smack*
"Ouch!"[Elsword]
Back to the present, Aisha hit me with a large paper fan.
How did I got myself into this mess…
Thinking back 10 minutes ago, after eating the apple that Aisha generously threw at me.
She quickly dragged me outside to train.
'We're going so hurry up and eat that already!' [Aisha]
'Huh?'[Elsword]
'What's with that dumb face I'm going to teach you how to control your Mana since you need to in order to participate in the ritual tonight'[Aisha]
With that said she is now mentoring me on how to control my spiritual energy or also known as Mana. A unseen powerful force that every life forms has, the concept of this mysterious energy which cannot be explained by science instead they compare it by physical force or so they say but what is a mana? Some people with a great number of years can control it, and once it can be control extraordinary things can be made either a miracle or a disaster.
Anyway Aisha explained this to me but honestly I don't understand any of this…
"That's why I told you you're stupid! Mana is the very center of our powers meaning our Skills supplier" [Aisha]
"This is a pain…Why do I have to know this since I already awaken and also I can perform my skills quite well without learning this mana thingy" [Elsword]
It's not a bluff even if I just awaken yesterday, my fight with Ara went well with the skills that was passed down by my predecessor
"Is that so? Then please hold my hand" [Aisha]
"I what?"[Elsword]
"Are you deaf? Hurry up!" [Aisha]
"Hai!"[Elsword]
With a loud command, I reluctantly grabbed her hand.
It was small and soft as expected from a girl…shit! what with this sudden development, that somehow I felt nervous and my chest is throbbing fast.
"Now close your eyes, if you truly are able to master your Mana flow then harmonize it with mine" [Aisha]
Again, what?
Before I could ask for further explanation, Aisha shut her eyes closed and quietly concentrating.
As she remains silent, she tightly held my hand that it was harder for me to concentrate yet in the first place I don't know what should I suppose to do.
…?
After a while her body eventually glows into lavender like color and soon a gentle wind gathered around her. Once the color of his aura got stronger something unexplainable happen
"Guahh!"[Elsword]
I was blown away by a unknown invincible force and the impact was strong enough for me land hard to ground.
"Hmph, as expected you didn't know how to control the flow, what a shame"[Aisha]
"grr…"[Elsword]
"What?, if you just listen carefully to my instructions without whining this wouldn't happen you know"[Aisha]
"…Like I said before I don't know how this Mana works but I honestly said I can perform my skills without a problem" [Elsword]
"Yeah…yeah I can hear you quite well, you're an idiot and a stubborn one too"[Aisha]
This girl…
Furiously, I jump back to my feet while glaring at towards this spiteful girl who obviously looking down on me.
"Anyway what the hell was that!" [Elsword]
"As I told you didn't I, harmonize you're Mana into mine and since I'm the only one who was able to flow my mana into yours which you didn't balance it, it repelled you right away...it's a good thing I lowered the intensity or else you would have been disintegrated into dust by now" [Aisha]
"Wait, what?"[Elsword]
"Oh, right you didn't know sorry since it's a pain to know how it works I skip some small details~"[Aisha]
"You!"[Elsword]
I angrily clenched my fist, it was clearly as day that this girl making fun of me.
"That's it I'm going back!" [Elsword
"So you're quitting already?"[Aisha]
"That's right I can't take this shit anymore!"[Elsword]
I stayed here any longer, ahh god only knows how much patience has left in me. I might lose my mind because of her.
"Then you're just a half-ass person who turns back from what he says" [Aisha]
"What did you say?"[Elsword]
"I heard from the others that you will lend your power to defeat the Dark lords and his minions but since you easily surrender to learned how to master the flow…then you will just be a burden, so I guess leaving and turning back what you said might be very convenient for you"[Aisha]
"Oi…are you seriously mocking me?" [Elsword]
"Mocking? oh no…I am just plainly laying down the truth" [Aisha]
That's it!
As I clench my teeth I finally snapped that I promptly rushed back to her, she obviously had gone too far for looking down on me which she needed to be taught a lesson.
I then glared at her face to face.
If she was a man I would have hit him and maybe resulting to a brawl
However, I didn't do anything not because she's a girl it's because of her eyes.
"…"
It was the eyes full of strong resolve, which glaring back at me like sharp daggers that I eventually lost my anger.
I wonder, what happened to her that it made her like this…so strong that she no longer resembles her old gentle weak self.
"…Aisha what happen to you?" [Elsword]
Once my anger dispersed, I asked for her reason that change her so much, as possible I lowered my voice sincerely which is very surprising for me to do so.
Maybe because she was my friend no…she is still my friend…
"…I"[Aisha]
In respond to my sudden change of mood, Aisha widened her eyes but as soon as she heard my voice, she cast down her head and was sadly averting to look back at me.
"What are you two doing?"[?]
""!?""[ElsAi]
Then suddenly, I heard a familiar voice from my side that I instantly turned.
It was Eve, she is standing not far with a picnic basket at her hand while stoically staring at us.
"Whahh!"[Elsword]
I just realize that my face was too close to Aisha that I began to panic and retreated away from the spot.
"E-Eve Ohayo…"[Elsword]
I greeted her with wry smile
"…"[Eve]
But she didn't greet me back.
"…Ohayo Eve, is that our breakfast?" [Aisha]
"Yes…Ohayo Aisha"[Eve]
On the other hand Eve nodded as she replied to Aisha
Eventually Eve approaches us while handling the basket in front.
"Here…"[Eve]
"Thanks, El-baka we're going to take a break first"[Aisha]
"Ok…wait stop adding weird nickname on my name!" [Elsword]
…
…
Breakfast…
As we decided to take a short break, we spotted a tree nearby and since the grass is soft, I carefully laid a blanket for us to sit on eventually we handed the food from the basket which are surprisingly different sushi and onigiri(Rice balls).
"Sushi?"[Elsword]
"…Ara made that she said she wanted to make you some because of the trouble she had cause"[Eve]
"I see…well it look delicious so…Itadakimasu~"[Elsword]
As I munched the bite size sushi it was…
"D-delicious!"[Elsword]
Even thought the sushi was out of place since its still breakfast but who cares as long as the food taste great I don't mind at all.
*Munch* *Munch*
"Jezz, take it easy you really are a glutton"[Aisha]
Aisha complained while she was watching me eat.
"Ite's oni natuoral for a gguy tou eat a loht" (It's only natural for a guy to eat a lot)[Elsword]
"Stupid, don't talk when your mouth is full, mind your manners!"[Aisha]
"…"[Eve]
While Aisha and I were being noisy, Eve on the other hand was quietly looking down from her cup, she haven't touch it or even the food.
In some way, she was in deep thoughts…
I wonder if she's in the bad mood, but because of her cold stoic face it was hard for me to find out what's in her mind or maybe it was just my own perception.
"…Is there something wrong with my face?" [Eve]
"N-no not at all"[Elsword]
I didn't realized, that I was constantly staring at her too much that she noticed it.
"Do you want some tea?"[Eve]
"S-sure…"[Elsword]
Eve took out the thermos bottle out from the basket and then poured some hot tea to my cup.
"Wow it's smells nice…"[Elsword]
"…Aisha do want some too"[Eve]
"Of course!"[Aisha]
With a happy face Aisha too received a cup of tea from Eve.
"Haa…this tea scent…could it be that you made this"[Aisha]
"Yes…"[Eve]
Eh? Really…
Once I learned who prepared it, I gradually looked down at my cup and carefully I realized it has a black purpled bubbling liquid that clearly this is not just an ordinary tea
I gulped…at the same time I remembered her first homemade meal that my instinct was telling me not to drink it.
"Fuuh~ as expected of Eve's special tea, it's so refreshingly good!"[Aisha]
On the contrary, Aisha made an opposite reaction, after taking a sip and then gulping it down in one go.
She was surprisingly gleaming of energy without any side effects.
Does that mean this tea is different…
Ok…
With my trembling hand, I slowly moved my cup to my mouth and gently sip it.
…
"Kuhh!?"[Elsword]
I fell at my back once I just taken a sip from the tea bitterness and sweetness were all mix up…no it's not that there is something else that I really can't explain what it is and why in everytime I get exploded away from her meals even if it taste good but the aftertaste was…'beyond this world'
"Nice reaction El-baka"[Aisha]
As Aisha saw me she snickered back at me.
"Urghh…"[Elsword]
I groaned as I sit up straight.
Starrrrre…
And eventually, Eve stared at me with her cold intense eyes
"I-it's taste great…"[Elsword]
"…I see"[Eve]
But her facial expression remains unchanged even if I tried to compliment her
Sigh…this is troubling…
"Fufu~"[Aisha]
Again this girl she is giggling to her heart content at my misery.
Even though she's fine after drinking Eve's tea she is indeed perfectly fine(being mean), the hell with her taste buds!
"Eve can I have seconds"[Aisha]
"Sure"[Eve]
Eve gentle refilled Aisha cup with her tea.
"Fuahaa~~Nice!"[Aisha]
And gulped it again in one go like drinking Sake(Rice wine).
"I really love your tea and your cooking Eve…but it's a shame that I can't learned it even if you taught me…anyway it's ok I'll look forward for your next turn"[Aisha]
(A/N: Kitchen duty)
"Gladly…"[Eve]
Surprisingly this two were getting along quite well, I wonder...
"How did you guys met?"[Elsword]
"Oh, right…you can say its destiny hehe"[Aisha]
"Pardon?"[Elsword]
"Eve and I are very alike no more like were somehow related, right Eve" [Aisha]
"Yes…"[Eve]
With a smile, Eve nodded in agreement.
"You really are cute when you smile~"[Aisha]
Once Aisha saw her gently smile, she quickly hugged Eve with her arms wrapping around Eve's neck.
"Ok now I don't understand…"[Elsword]
…
…
Back to training...
After the short break we continue the lesson, of course Aisha was still in command while Eve decided to watch us.
"Ok do it again remember to concentrate like you were just meditating, then once you drown yourself inside you(soul) feel the flow of your spirit that overflow like a calm river"[Aisha]
"…" [Elsword]
As I sat down and tightly closing my eyes to meditate, Aisha diligently instructed me step by step.
"Now imagined to dive in that river…"[Aisha]
"…"[Elsword]
"As you go deeper below…you…huh?"[Aisha]
"…suuu"[Elsword]
*Pop vein*
"El-baka! who said you can sleep!"[Aisha]
"AHHH! My ear!"[Elsword]
Without a warning, Aisha popped a vein once she noticed that I fallen asleep.
Well it's my fault anyway but shouting through my ear with a high volume is too much
"Kuhh…"[Elsword]
"Seriously, why can't you properly do it, it's very simple everyone in the group already accomplish it in one go but you…your hopeless!"[Aisha]
"Hey, It's not that simple it's very difficult to understand what the hell is that river you were talking about the moment I imagined it the more I wanted to doze off" [Elsword]
"Ah! I give up…Eve please spared this monkey some of your wisdom I can't take this anymore!"[Aisha]
"Stop calling me names!"[Elsword]
Aisha cried while I desperately complained
"If he's having difficulty in meditation…why not help him directly…use 'that'"[Eve]
After hearing Eve's suggestion, Aisha suddenly froze for awhile.
"Wh-wh-wha-what!?"[Aisha]
"Oh so there is another way…Aisha you should have told me"[Elsword]
"Sh-shu-u-shut up! Pervert!"[Aisha]
Again what's her problem, she suddenly got flustered that her words were shaking.
"Eve that m-method is to-too much! I can't do that…t-to him"[Aisha]
Now Aisha had turn pure red with steams coming out
I'm confuse is she angry or what?
"Then shall I?"[Eve]
"HUH!?"[Aisha]
"Ok can anyone fill me in…"[Elsword]
I raised my hand like a student which obviously I don't know what their were talking about
"Shut up! Be quiet for awhile!"[Aisha]
"But I—"[Elsword]
"I SAID SHUT THE HELL UP!"[Aisha]
"Hai!"[Elsword]
She roared like a 'oni'(demon) which made me surprisingly succumb in an instant.
"Eve you can't, not someone like him…his a pervert you know"[Aisha]
"I don't mind"[Eve]
"Well I happen to mind it, so no way in hell!"[Aisha]
This conversation is going nowhere, Aisha was anxiously red while Eve was coldly calm, about what?
"But Aisha if we can't have him control his mana for today will have to reschedule the ritual"[Eve]
"Guuah…fine I-I'll d-d-d-o it I'm not letting my Eve be tainted by this p-pervert…"[Aisha]
"…!?"[Elsword]
From just her strange reaction I could guess that this will lead into something bad that I instinctively step back.
"Hey!"[Elsword]
However, Aisha caught my collar with her wobbly hands.
"H-hold still...I-I w-wanted to end this quick so stop struggling!"[Aisha]
Though I am not really struggling, I am frightening right now because of Aisha's weird complex face that she gradually held my face with her small hands.
Whatever this method is, I don't want to do it not to mention Aisha was teary, it's like she's about to cry
"C-close your e-eyes…I c-can't do it if you're staring"[Aisha]
I gulped even if my mouth is dry I can't helped not to be so nervous on what she meant on that
But I did what she ask
"…"
"…"
However, while I was worriedly waiting, I had the urge to peered a little from my left eye
Holy Sh—!
Then I gasped…Aisha was approaching close toward me with her eyes close that her face was just centimeters away.
D-don't tell this is the method!
While my mind is in the state of panic, Aisha was slowly lessening the gap between us.
*Doki~*
My heart started to race so fast that looking at her tender lips closer was making me brashly red
Oh shit!
"…!"[Aisha]
However, Aisha stopped
…
What happen after that was unexpected…
Once Aisha had opened her eyes widely and had noticed that mine wasn't close.
She began to tremble nonstop before shouting…
"AS I THOUGHT I CAN'T DO IT!"[Aisha]
*BASHH!*
"Kuah!"[Elsword]
Aisha quickly pulled me closer but instead of doing 'that', she gave me a nice HEADBUTT
*crack…*
Did my cranium crack?...ahhh I'm losing it…
[K.O]
…
…
A/N: Did I just wrote an ElsAi?...yeah I just did but I'm still rooting for Eve so making her jelly won't be a bad idea since she's cold and calm…That's I need to shatter that with a strong Rival so she can express her own feeling somehow.
Anyway thx for reading see you next time, I will have to go back to PET since it's going to be hilarious I mean terrible day for Elsword fufu~
