Suddenly, Fei felt a few drops of rain. However, before he could even react, the few drops of rain became a gigantic, freezing

downpour. Fei sighed and quickly sprinted to the bottom of the hill and quickly made his way back to the forest that Endou,

Kidou, Gouenji and Fubuki had chosen for all their teams to train at together. They thought that it would be a good bonding

time and a great place and opportunity to refresh the mind. Everyone bonded together quite well. Except that there were a

few frequent minor incidents and disputes that couldn't really be helped but caused annoyance anyway, like when Yukimura

placed his bag on a tree and completely forgot about it, causing it to fall onto a very irritated Senguuji Yamato's head. And

Hayabusa constantly reminded Midori of her tomboyish behaviour and whined about it, as well as tormented her with it as

well, resulting in arguments between the two, usually when the coaches were not around. But the coaches knew most of

what was going on, thanks to Wondeba, who kept keeping an eye out for everyone, saying that they could get lost or

captured easily in a forest, even though most of the forest consisted of extremely large clearings and sufficient amounts of

light and limestone, which had a light colour to it. Fey continued to sprint back, and in the process, tripped over a

large log, spraining his wrist. It hurt a lot, but at least he could run. After 20 minutes, he finally reached the clearing that

everyone camped in. Tenma was the first to see him.

"Fey!"

Tenma yelled and sprinted towards him. Fey had no energy and instead, just smiled wearily and stood there. Tenma stopped

in front of Fey and started to make a huge fuss, causing some others to realise that Fey had made it back. By then, the

torrential downpour had stopped. Tenma still continued to fuss, though.

"Where were you actually at? Didn't you say that you were at the 5 opposite clearings? But I couldn't see you in the 5 opposite clearings when I went there! Are you okay? We were worried sick for you since you hadn't arrived 10 minutes even after it started pouring! And we searched everywhere in the forest but we couldn't find you anywhere! We-"

Aoi quickly stopped him and smiled pleasantly at Fey and Tenma.

"Fey obviously looks tired and he needs rest, so why don't you allow him to dry himself inside his group tent and have some rest, then ask the questions?"

Fey wondered how she managed to stay cheerful even after the rain and cold weather.

"H-hai…" Tenma replied, but looked a bit worried for Fey and suspicious at the same time. Fey quickly went to his tent after

that, then dried himself and lay down. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but every time he did that, bad memories came

back. He guessed that it must be the side effect of even allowing himself to remember such a tragic, horrible, horrific

incident. After a while, he felt stressed and decided to just sit up. But he felt strangely hot and cold at the same time. Fey

tried not to groan out loud as he felt his forehead. It was burning. Why did he have to fall sick near everyone? Now he

would just trouble them, and he wouldn't be able to participate in much of the activities, which was obviously a waste.

"Fey…?"

Fey looked up and saw that Hakuryuu was in front of him. He remembered that Hakuryuu was in the same tent as him.

He thought that he was looking for something and was about to ask him, but decided to just say hi first anyway.

"Hey,"

Fey greeted Hakuryuu and tried his best to smile, even though he was feeling cold and terrible. And his wrist felt like it was

about to explode. Hakuryuu didn't say anything. He just maintained a poker face and walked out, but by this time, Fey was

too busy with trying not to faint and yell out loud from how irritated he felt at himself to worry about that. But less than a

minute later, Hakuryuu came back with a first aid kit.

"Hakuryuu…why would you need that?"

Fey smiled a fake smile, trying to hide the fact that he was feeling so terrible. Hakuryuu took out a cooling aid and stuck it

onto Fey's forehead.

"…Its so obvious that you're having a fever, you know. And I can tell that your wrist is hurt,"

Hakuryuu mumbled while bandaging and applying some medicine to Fey's wrist. Hakuryuu looked like a professional nurse,

Fey thought.

"How…can you tell so easily…?" Fey asked.

Hakuryuu looked away after bandaging Fey's wrist and sat down.

"These sort of things happened all the time…during Fifth Sector training…"

Hakuryuu looked forlorn. Fey could see that Hakuryuu sounded upset, so he decided to change the topic.

"What do you think we'll be doing next…?"

Fey asked, trying to smile just a bit. Hakuryuu just smiled back as well.

"You're so thoughtful…even though you're the one in pain…I really admire you for that. And you've been helping out so much, besides, everyone gets sick once in a while, so you shouldn't feel bad or like you're troubling everyone when you fall sick and they have to help you."

Fey just stared at the ground.

"I still don't like troubling people, even if they don't feel like it's trouble."

"If no one allowed other people to take care of them, then no one would be taking care of each other. You can have the willpower, but if someone won't allow you to help them, your efforts won't really have much of an effect," Hakuryuu replied.

"I guess you're right…"

Fey murmured. His expression was the same as when Tenma asked him about his family.

"Well, we had better get going, it's dinner time already,"

Hakuryuu said, then smiled at Fey and stood up, reaching out his hand to Fey. Fey grabbed it, but almost fell immediately.

"You okay?"

Hakuryuu looked concerned.

"…I'm just feeling dizzy, but I'm fine."

Fey smiled back weakly.

"Don't worry. I'll help you guys."

Hakuryuu and Fey turned to see Tsurugi at the tent's doorway.

"Just on time, Tsurugi, but I think I can manage."

Hakuryuu smirked, and Tsurugi smirked back, knowing what his rival was thinking as well.

"I'll piggyback him."

"I'll carry him bridal style!"

"Um…guys, both of you can just carry me in the superman style together…"

Fey sweatdropped.

"Its time for dinner," Akane softly called for the for three of them at the entrance of the tent.
