3. Agreement

"Please?" the masked girl said cheerfully.

"Pl, please!" Akara shouted reluctantly.

Now they were silent, staring at each other without any movement. Gradually Akara became annoyed, until his eyes widened.

"Alright," the girl said, standing up again, making Akara's facial expression change 180 degrees.

"Really!?" he exclaimed with joy.

"I will give you a realm training technique, but with a condition,"

"What is the condition!? I will do it!" Akara exclaimed excitedly and agreed without thinking, before the girl gave her condition.

"within this week, don't let there be any wounds on your body. Even if you fight, you have to win without any injuries,"

"One week!? That's too long!" Akara shouted until he looked like he wanted to cry.

"If you don't want to, then fine." The girl teased Akara, by taking out two rolls of paper, then shaking them.

"I'll do it!" Akara shouted without hesitation and walked away.

"Where are you going?" The girl suddenly appeared in front of Akara and stopped him from leaving.

"Home!" Akara exclaimed, then walked away from her.

As Akara passed her, the girl suddenly turned and grabbed the sword on Akara's back.

"What are you doing!?" Akara snapped and rushed to get his sword back.

The girl dodged with just a small jump back, but it made her body float. She looked as if she was lighter than a feather blown by the wind. Her pink dress swung freely as the wind hit her from behind, as did her black hair that sometimes covered her mask.

"Ugly girl, give it back!" Akara shouted, trying to run after her.

"If you don't want to call me pretty, call me by my name!" She slowly took off her mask, showing her beautiful face, while still floating backwards.

"My name is Lisa!" she continued, pointing to her eyebrows, now her sweet lips smiled widely, making her eyes squint.

"Ugly Lisa!" Akara shouted, but the girl just smiled, then put her mask back on and floated away from Akara.

"Chase me!" Lisa floated towards the dense trees in the forest, away from the river, carrying away the wooden sword of the little boy.

"Stop! Give it back!"

"Watch your head." Lisa pulled a tree branch, then let it go until it flew towards Akara.

Plakk !!

Like a hard slap, the tree branch hit the little boy's face until he almost fell.

"Watch out for you!" Akara kept running, even though his face had a red mark like a stamp from a tree branch.

"Your face is injured, you know, do you still remember our agreement earlier?" Lisa turned around and teased Akara.

"That's your fault!" Akara shouted, making Lisa laugh with satisfaction.

The girl was still in a state of flying backwards, until she didn't notice that there was a tree branch flying in her direction.

"Watch out front!" Akara shouted in panic and sped up his run.

"What's wrong?" Lisa casually turned around, but the tree branch was right in front of her.

Brukkk !!

Akara fell to the ground because he jumped to help Lisa, but it turned out that the girl had stopped right in front of the branch. Her face was only a few centimeters away from the branch, and then a few moments later she came down.

"Hurt?" Lisa was quite worried, as seen from the way she reached out to Akara.

"Are you okay?" Akara turned around, showing a bruise on his chin from hitting the ground.

"Hahaha, why are you asking me when you're the one who fell?" Lisa now flew around the little boy who was sitting on the grass, looking at the wounds on his body.

"You said your face is a valuable asset? Be careful, don't hurt your face," Akara said calmly, reversing the words Lisa had said to him before.

"Hahaha, smart talk." Lisa flew higher and higher, until she reached the branch that she had almost hit and sat there.

"Don't you want to take this?" Lisa showed Akara's two wooden swords, then shook them again.

Akara didn't answer her, then stood up and tried to climb the tree. On his first chance, he fell right away and made Lisa laugh at him. Akara kept trying to climb until he fell several times, but finally succeeded. Even so, he was shocked when Lisa was gone.

"Slow." Lisa stuck out her tongue, she had flown away from Akara.

"Sneaky!" Akara hurried down, making him slide and his arm scratched by the tree bark.

The little boy kept chasing her, even until he fell into a hole and was thrown a beehive by Lisa. The beautiful girl kept teasing him and laughing if she hit Akara.

When the sun was right above the head, Akara came out of the forest and appeared on the riverbank. There was Lisa who had left him earlier. Akara's condition was very messy, his body and clothes were dirty, and there were wounds on his arm and bumps on his face from the bee stings. Akara's face looked funny, because his cheeks and lips were swollen, making Lisa unable to hold back her laughter.

The next day, Akara returned to meet Lisa in the same place, the girl was still there and sitting on the cliff. Seeing Akara's arrival, she immediately smiled and put her mask back on.

Akara frowned when he saw Lisa who was on the cliff, remembering their first meeting. However, Lisa suddenly disappeared.

"Gotcha!" Lisa turned out to be behind Akara, and took both of his swords.

"Chase me!" Lisa flew back to the forest, but Akara ignored her and sat by the river. The little boy was so gloomy, he bent his legs and used them as a headrest.

Because Akara didn't chase her, Lisa looked at him for a moment, but then snapped her fingers. A small electric current appeared from her snap and crawled, heading towards Akara's body.

"Ahh!" Akara was surprised, until he jumped into the river, while Lisa laughed with satisfaction.

"Why!?" Akara shouted as he tried to get to the land.

"Chase me or our deal is off!" Lisa shouted, flying to the forest, without waiting for Akara's answer.

Akara hurried to chase her, following the dense forest. Lisa's mischievous behavior reappeared, she bounced and dropped tree branches towards Akara. Then she made Akara fall into a hole and provoked the anger of an elephant to chase Akara.

The activity continued over and over for several days. Akara, who used to look clumsy when passing through the forest, could now pass it with agility. He jumped over roots and fallen tree trunks, and avoided branches with ease.

On the seventh day when Akara wanted to go to his usual place with Lisa, he met the young master Cor Beton, his three friends and also Kana.

"The trash!"

"The coward who ran away!"

"Hahaha." They blocked Akara's way and mocked him, followed by laughter.
