Claps resounded in the air. "Well done. I certainly didn't expect you to be quite a challenge" Draven turned his head to the voice, his brows raised. "Who are you?" "Andrew Baron, but from your reaction, it seems you have no idea who am I?" "That's good" Draven smelt an opportunity. Fire converged around his body and flashed in front of his last opponent and swung his blade down from his head to his waist, and water hose, blood splattered on his armour. Draven froze with his mouth agape. "Did I just kill him? Shouldn't the system teleport him out?" A dagger darted to his unturned back. By his reflex, Draven tilted his head to the side. "Nice. Good reflexes! Now I am starting to doubting my choice." Andrew's voice echoed in the space. His forehead scrunched in thought. 'He is alive, but

Their unsteady footsteps echoed against the wall, water dripping from the ceiling and sizzled. As a fireball hung over them, casting light on the path before them.His brows pinched together. He took a glance at his wrist and thought. 'I hope this isn't an illusion.'Even after Vernon's confirmation, doubts never settled, defying his wish for silence. As a sea of thoughts shouted negativity in the recesses of his brain. He gritted his teeth under a calm front and led his team.The hairs on his forehead raised as stiff as needles. He said, "Enemy Incoming"They changed formation and huddled together with their backs against each other. With a shaky grip, they pointed their weapons at the front, waiting for the slightest signs of the enemy.Scales crinkled against the rough ground, Chad shifted his gaze to his left, hissing grew pronounced as it crawled closer to his back. Sweat clung to his shirt. He closed his eyes and turned around. Found nothing

Coach said, "Alright guys, take your seats. The match is going to start." His students rushed to their seats in the dugout. "Watch carefully, because after this I will ask questions. ""Hey coach, can I sit with Draven?"Becky said and sauntered to the last row. Coach ran a hand down his face, said "Fine, but please don't interrupt"Becky giggled. "Don't worry, sir"She leaned against his shoulder; a hand ran down her back. She whispered, "You heard him, you better behave.""Fine" Draven grunted.A holographic screen dropped before them. Coach sat in the front with his trainers.Thomas Walter marched with his team in a strict formation, kicking sand clouds in the air. Osborne yawned. "Boring"The rest chuckled. Coach grunted. "Silence!" they suppressed their snicker.From the other side, a group of girls stood on a wave, leaning over the shore.The commentator announced. "The match between Eagle High and Tottem Hi

Coach eyes shifted from his chatting students to Lester Hart, who sent him a wave which stiffened his face. He lifted himself to his feet and threaded past them. “Coach, where are you going? I want to ask you something?” his back shivered and stopped in his tracks, as the room suddenly quietened. He turned around, said “Draven, can you hold on for a minute? I need to grab myself a drink… a beer, I guess”Draven snickered, said “Sure you can go but there aren’t any stalls that sell beer”“Oh, thanks…” he walked out of the dugout with quick strides, almost knocking the doors of Draven’s suspicion. He tilted his head to Becky. She said, “Are thinking what am I thinking?”Draven tightened his grip on her hips and pulled her closer with a grin. “You mean make out in the washroom?”Becky leaned into him, bit his ear and said in a stern tone. “That would be ho

First light peeped through the tinted windshield and inched along the maple dashboard and touched the soles of feet above the moving steering wheel. The car turned itself to the bend; the light glimmered the bangs underneath his cap. He hunched forward and puffed a breath within his palms, said. “Becky, can you switch on the heater?”Her forehead scrunched she said. “Hmm… but you can easily warm yourself”    His cheeks flushed while he said, “I… just don’t want to spoil the seats” Draven thought. ‘I would have if I could control it!’“Fine.” She leaned, pressed a button below the GPS monitor. “So, are we there?” she said while looking through his window.“I don’t know. I have never been here before, but I think we are almost there.” He said, glimpsing a lone seagull flying above. In the moment of silence, he sneaked a glance at her
