Battle OF Grammar: Word Fu! Chapter 34 - About Kismet Coins
“What is so important that you wish to speak with me alone, Master Jin?” Coming into Jin Hennessy’s abode, Dam Son was directed to sit by a table where he would be comfortable.“Listen well to what I’m about to tell you brat.” Jin Hennessy joined Dam Son around the table while sipping on his bottle of wine. He took a few gulps, wiped his mouth clean of alcoholic beverage then gave his lips to Dam Son’s keen ears. “This morning shortly after you left, several no-good characters showed up out of nowhere on my mountain peak. Are you listening?”“I am, Master Jin.”“Those men are members of the infamous Vage Gang that is hidden somewhere within Raixom Academy. They are a bunch of unscrupulous characters, one you don’t want to entertain.”Dam Son asked curiously, “Why did they visit you, Master Jin?”“Why do you think brat?” Jin Hennessy gave Dam Son a dark glare. “They were obviously after that damn Kismet Coin that you stole from them.”“What?” Dam Son touched his head in amazement. “So
Battle OF Grammar: Word Fu! Chapter 35 - Training Under The Great, Master Jin!
Bright and early in the morning, 4 figures were gathered at the nadir of Jin Hennessy’s mountain. They were Dam Son, Sugar Bun, Xuan Li and of course Jin Hennessy. Behind them was a long flight of stairs comprised of 70,000 steps leading to the peak of the mountain. Each student stood beside 3 large empty containers which measured 1 ½ metre in length and a diameter of 3 feet. These items were essential to their imminent training.“Okay, you damn brats! Wipe that sleep out of your eyes and get ready to increase your stamina!” Jin Hennessy shouted through a folded Noun Script he had placed near his mouth. “Today’s training will be mountain climbing. You see those stairs behind you?” He gestured to the endless flight of stairs that seemed to have disappeared beyond the fog above.“We see it, Master Jin.” Dam Son and the others felt slightly threatened as they stared up at the mountain peak, it was extremely high. They could already tell what their master had in store for them.Sugar Bun
Battle OF Grammar: Word Fu! Chapter 36 - Mountain Climbing Training
Many hours had gone by since Dam Son, Xuan Li and Sugar Bun began their mountain climbing training. Now the nightly environment was rapidly taking over and they still hadn't reached the 70,000th step. The trio missed a day of studies at Caromine Institute to enhance their raw stamina and strength. If anything valuable was taught in today’s lessons then they weren’t present to learn it.Jin Hennessy was a hard-ass instructor. He made sure that his students were punished accordingly whenever they messed up their climb. He slapped them, kicked them and even punched them. He spared no expense when it came to enforcing his rules.After so many hours of repeated efforts and failures, Dam Son and the others were now struggling at the 10th step. Their complexion was pale as snow. They resembled a haggard towel rinsed of all its moistures.Breathing very heavily, Xuan Li said to his peers, “I’m extremely tired. I don’t know if I can make it to the 11th step.”“Me neither.” Sugar Bun agreed. “T
Battle OF Grammar: Word Fu! Chapter 37 - Relentless Climbing!
Approximately 5 minutes after the students were granted their rest period, Jin Hennessy hopped up from the ground and reached for his lanky bamboo stick. “It’s time to restart your training!”Jin Hennessy slammed the bamboo on the ground. The impact roused some frightened dust particles that started the trio who were literally dozing off while leaning against each other. Very quickly they were spurred awake.“We’re up! We’re up!” Dam Son, Xuan Li and Sugar Bun had no other choice but to wipe the sleep from their eyes and get back to training.“Stop dawdling around brats! Pick up those jugs and start climbing! I’ll give you 3 seconds! One, two…”The haggard trio hurriedly picked up their respective containers and motioned their butts towards the first layer of steps.“Good, now start climbing!”As the students set foot on the second step, Jin Hennessy hit their legs roughly with his thin bamboo stick. “Too slow! Too damn slow!”“This would be a lot easier if you weren’t hitting us old m
Battle OF Grammar: Word Fu! Chapter 38 - A Diligent Student.
Hours after midday, Sugar Bun came back with Xuan Li tagging at his rear. They discovered Dam Son nearby the tent playing with an amiable monkey. “Isn’t that the Dark-Human messing around with a monkey? He talked so big I thought he would attempt climbing the mountain without us.” “I’m going over there to find out.” Sugar Bun ran ahead towards Dam Son. “Hey, we’re back and we’re ready to climb again.” “Oh?” Dam Son looked towards Sugar Bun and glanced at Xuan Li at the rear. “What about him?” “He’s also ready to climb again. So what have you been doing all this time Dam Son? Were you just playing around with that monkey on your shoulder while waiting for our return?” “Yes, I was waiting for the two of you so that we can continue our training. Remember what Master Jin said? Only when all of us reach the top will our training be complete.” “But how will he know if we complete the training when he isn’t here? He didn’t stop by when we were away did he?” Xuan Li asked curiously. “No
Battle OF Grammar: Word Fu! Chapter 39 - Increasing The Difficulty
With the evening shadows already cast over the skies, Raixom Academy lit up with resplendent nightly decorations. Around the base of Jin Hennessy’s mountains were multiple illuminated flies moving about the shadows. “Ouch, that hurts.” Sugar Bun felt the back of his head for bruises as he aided himself from the ground. “Yep, I feel a swelling.” “Damn that old bastard.” Xuan Li’s ankles suffered livid bruising. The pain made it slightly harder for him to stand up. “Did he have to blast me away too?” Dam Son reached for his sapphire suitcase that was close by and slowly rise to his feet. Just as the students found their footing, Jin Hennessy landed in front of them with his long bamboo stick in hand. After calling out the jugs filled with rocks and water, he said. “This time around, your breaks between climbing will be shortened to 3 minutes per hour. I know you are not pleased but this is your punishment. I will also add another factor to your training.” Jin Hennessy motioned tow
Battle OF Grammar: Word Fu! Chapter 40 - The Climb Is Over
Two weeks later, Dam Son, Xuan Li along with Sugar Bun finally completed their mountain climbing training. At the crack of dawn, they set foot on the 70,000th step with their jugs still intact. To show how much energy they had exhausted, the veins that ran across the contours of their muscles were extremely defined.It took them 2 weeks to complete their training due to the repetitious failures they made. On many occasions, all 3 of them had to start over from the bottom. At first, Xuan Li was in the lead, but he slipped up at the 3,000th step which caused him to start all over. Dam Son restarted a lot too because of Sugar Bun who kept tripping whenever he jumped over a bamboo obstacle.The 3 minutes break they received per hour wasn’t enough to regain any stamina at all. Thus, whenever they took a breather and recommenced their climb, they would often take a minute just to hop onto the other step in succession.Jin Hennessy knew he was being too hard on his disciples, hence he modifi
Battle OF Grammar: Word Fu! Chapter 41 - The Page Coliseum
A splendiferous rounded complex suspended several meters above ground attracted the majority of young, enthusiastic Word Masters to compete against each other in fierce cultural battles. Many Barrier Scripts were floating around this ethereal expanse to keep its borders in check.The Page Coliseum was producing a boisterous atmosphere replete with energetic individuals. Currently, many battles were taking place across the separate arenas designated for their specific divisions and classes.The Page Coliseum consisted of numerous divisions according to the 6 major institutes in Raixom Academy. There were arenas where these institutes could compete against each other within the required terms or they could just compete locally against individuals from the same institute.The Page Coliseum had many-many fields of battle and preferences to choose from. Dam Son and his companions decided to partake in team battles restricted only to students from Caromine Institute. As they entered, they w

Chapter 60 - Getting Kidnapped
After a hard day of training, Dam Son, Xuan Li and Sugar Bun washed their bodies clean inside Jin Hennessy’s soothing onsen. This was the first time he had ever allowed them to bathe there, this meant he was beginning to warm up to them despite his abrasive demeanour.Finished washing up, the students got dressed then prepare to leave for the Tower of Residence. Coming down the flight of stairs protruding the mountainside, Dam Son conversed with his companions about the perks of their training. Eventually, their conversation shifted to something else.“Did you guys hear about the new arcade that recently opened up in the adjoining complex of the Page Coliseum?”“I knew that long before you did, turtle.”“This is the first time I’m hearing about it.” Dam Son was clueless. “What is an arcade?”Sugar Bun answered. “It’s a cool place that has lots of fun games to play. Recently it has turned into the new hotspot for bored students. A fellow classmate told me that the arcade has imported u

Chapter 59 - Under Suspicion
On his way outside the laboratory, Dam Son walked by a dark-robed stranger who glanced at him menacingly. “Ouch, my head.” He felt a slight pain emerging from his forehead but it subsided the moment he went by the dark-robed man.“Hmm…” The dark-robed man stopped at the laboratory’s entrance to stare back at Dam Son’s fading presence. Looking down at the Blue Kismet Coin in his palm, he thought internally, ‘Did my coin just react out of impulse just now or…?’ Not lingering too much on what he felt earlier, the dark-robed man entered the laboratory.“Huh?” Turning his head to identify the intrusive presence, Vor Eyes recognized who it belonged to, “Brother your back? One of these days you’re going to give me a heart attack if you continue sneaking up on me like that.”Getting straight to the point, Tor Eyes asked his little brother, “Who was that kid I saw coming out just now?”“Oh, that’s the friend I spoke to you about last night, remember?”“Friend? Is he a classmate of yours?”“No,

Chapter 58 - 90% Purity!
Finished aligning the refined Mundane Letters in their respective chambers, Vor Eyes step aside so that Dam Son could admire their beauty. “So, what do you think about the refinement procedure, wasn’t it fun?”“Indeed it was. Watching you go to work like that was even better to look at. I can’t imagine how long it must have taken you to get so good at refining Mundane Cores.”Vor Eyes blushed, “It didn’t take me that long to learn. How about you Dam Son, want to try? I have more Mundane Cores chilling in the refrigerator.”Dam Son pondered Vor Eyes' offer for a while before he answered, “You bet I would. I came here with that reason in mind after all.”“Okay!” Vor Eyes became excited to instruct his new friend. “I’m going to go grab another one from the refrigerator. You can get settled around the desk until I get back.”“Alright.” Dam Son motioned closer towards the workbench. As he was about to sit down, his sapphire suitcase became all tingly. “Suit, what’s the matter?” It responde

Chapter 57 - Refining Mundane Cores
Vor Eyes workstation had a particular beauty to it that impressed Dam Son. It wasn’t that big but it had enough space to accommodate certain essential equipment needed for Wordsmiths to flourish. By the main desk was an array of newly developed booklets seamlessly intertwined with a series of portable Arcane Baths. Many thick tubes connected to these booklets ran directly into a larger immovable Arcane Bath located in the centre of the workstation. That was where the finished creation would usually emerge.As he began the process of walking Dam Son through the refining of Raw Mundane Letters, Vor Eyes elaborated on the various tools, tips & trades he would be utilizing. He went over to a storage cabinet where Raw Mundane Letters were being refrigerated. “This is what they actually look like before processing.”“Wow, interesting. I’ve never seen one this close up before.” After Vor Eyes brought the Raw Mundane Letter closer, Dam Son admired it closely. It was comprised of a spherical g

Chapter 56 - Making A new Friend
The fiery rock monster no longer terrorised Raixom Academy’s central hub due to the combined efforts of 4 valiant students. Later that night, Dam Son along with the rest of his classmates were all released from Raixom Academy Campus Station after being subjected to a series of questioning. The head of the guards was an intimidating individual who knew how to squeeze the correct answers from those he interrogated. This being Vor Eyes' first offence, they allowed him to walk with a proper warning.“Guys, you’re finally out.” Coming outside, Dam Son and the others who were previously held captive saw Sugar Bun and Trish waiting for them at the entrance. “What took you all so long?”“Cut the chitchat Trish. We’re heading back.” Cinder Burn led the way for her crew. Together, the Leaf Widows journeyed to the Tower of Residence.Sugar Bun went over to Xuan Li and asked, “So, how did it go inside?”“Tsk, they asked us a bunch of annoying questions.

Chapter 55 - Subduing The Monstrously Failed Experiment
The fiery rock monster that was wreaking havoc on the central marketplace became more vicious in its onslaught. Aside from spitting molten rocks everywhere, it fed on the earth’s surface by combining with the rocky properties to increase its size. Now it was towering over 50 metres long.“Rock Fan, stop it! You’re destroying my place of study!” A concerned stubby boy sporting 4 sets of monocles on his face came rushing towards the fiery rock monster with a particular device in his hand that hosted a portable Arcane Bath. He constantly tapped the moist interface, trying to get his invention to respond.“No! No! No! It’s not responding. The link must have gotten cut off somehow.” The boy looked worried. “What should I do? If the campus guards get here before I can stop Rock Fan’s malfunctioning behaviour then they will destroy its core. I can’t allow that to happen.” The boy couldn’t wait for his invention to be obliterated. He decided to take matters into his own hands to curtail the d

Chapter 54 - Experiment Gone Wrong
The rematch involving Dam Son and Cinder Burn ended in the garden. Cinder Burn emerged the victor, yet she was still displeased by the outcome. “My thirst for vengeance won’t be satiated until I defeat that kid I suppose.” Finally, she withdrew her foot from Dam Son’s chest; allowed him to get up then walked away toward her friends.“It’s about time. I thought you were going to stand on me forever.” Saying this, Dam Son helped himself up from the ground. At the same time, his friends came over to assist him.“I knew you were going to lose. There was no way you could beat that girl in your weakened state.” Sugar Bun checked Dam Son’s body for injuries, “You’re not badly injured are you?”“I can manage.” Dam Son was hurting pretty badly but he shrugged it off as nothing.“I can’t believe you came out of that unscathed, your toughness is truly amazing.” Xuan Li also assisted Dam Son to his feet.Smilingly, Dam Son replied, “I survived because she went easy on me. It appears both of us we

Chapter 53 - Cinder Burn & Dam Son’s Rematch
Dam Son, Xuan Li and Sugar Bun were on their way to the Tower of Residence to get cleaned up after a hard day of training. They were walking through the streets completely soaked in the nutritious water from the Sea of Verbs.“Whew, Master Jin really knows how to work us to a tired tail.” Sugar Bun sighed. He felt more haggard when he reflected on the arduous training he had just been through.“At least the geezer gave us a break this time around. It wasn’t as hard as the mountain climbing training.” Though he was also tired, Xuan Li was excited to have learnt the very basics of manifesting Natural verb Force. “The fish training wasn’t all that bad.”“You’re only saying that because you’ve reaped a lot of benefits.” Dam Son told him. “So what if did? Soon I will surpass you Dark-Human, so you better prepare yourself.”“I don’t view that as a problem, surpass all you want.” Saying this, Dam Son willingly slowed his speed to allow Xuan Li to walk ahead of him.“Hey, what do you think y

Chapter 52 - The Path Of Nouns & Numbers
Within Caromine Institute at the Word Augmenter training facility, Ms Ever Moist was educating Cinder Burn about the fundamentals of successfully manifesting Nounal force. They trained side by side each other mimicking each other’s movements. So far, Cinder Burn was grasping a little of the basics.Nounal Force was quite similar to Natural Verb Force. Both of them were innate elements that stemmed from a certain increase and influx of a Word Master’s inherent Letter Force. What separated the two are their structural application. In short, Natural Verb Force mostly involves manifestation around the body while Nounal Force has to do with boosting a weapon’s capabilities. Trying to crisscross the two would result in an unstable result of element pronunciation.“I think I’m getting the hang of it now.” Cinder Burn followed each step taught to her by her teacher. While rousing a partial property of her Letter Force, she maintained her focus on the Augmented Weapon. Moments later, she began
