The fire in their hearts burns hard and our desire to learn to intensify. But that flame was immediately put off when Glenn give us such a thing that was never expected.
After we advance to floor 11. Glenn gives us a rest and focuses on training us. I was skeptical about what kind of training he gave us.
Yumi, Taki, and I were in the apartment with a pile of test papers given to us.
“I don’t want to do this anymore! Why do I need to study all this much?!”
I protested.
Even I say that there is nothing we can do for now. Glenn is out working and we are left mostly doing these homework papers. Glenn gave us a week of time limit to finished everything we must pass in certain scores to pass this part of training.
He said that this training is part of having focus and increasing our intellectual ability.
I was grateful that he finally taught us but not in this kind of way.
Regardless of everything. I might give up j
“Laura! Laura! Laura!”“Mama… I’m so happy I’m able to meet you again. But why you look so sad?”I said and hug her. She pulls me on her body and hugs me tightly. Her embrace was so warm.“I said it over and over again right? Don’t go outside of the village… Why can’t you understand me? Don’t go away from the village… Don’t go outside of the village… Just stay in the village… Laura! Laura! My beloved Laura…”Why my mother is always telling me those words? Why I’m not allowed to go outside of the village?“Laura I’m sorry for leaving you behind…”After saying her words she let go of me and turn her body around. She walked toward unknown darkness.“Mama… Don’t leave me… Mama! Mama! Don’t leave me!”I called out for her but she didn’t hear me. I
“I’m very sorry but I can’t lend the three of you money. Master Karyll already told you that the expenses in this place are very high. Battle frontier is one of the most luxurious places in the world. Honestly, I’m still impressed that the three of you manage to live more than a month with 100,000 mels.” “You’re supposed to be responsible for taking care of us.” Yumi protested. “That’s not it… I agreed to Master Karyll request, but the expenses are not my problem that’s why she gave you your allowance. Also, my responsibility is just to teach you the basic building mechanics of making ability and I succeeded in that. I suppose my contract with Master Karyll is over.” Hearing that from Glenn. Yumi, Taki, and I were all confused and shook our heads. “What are you saying, Glenn?” “The contract is over and the three of you will be kicked out in the house starting tonight.” “Eh?!” 3x “Don’t ‘Eh?!’ me… Even birds need to leav
“The so-called prodigy that taken the title of frontier master with only one day. I’m quite surprised that the prodigy was a lovely-looking young woman. I think’s not good to pus some scar on your flawless white skin.” “Hitting a woman while in the middle of a fight… I must apologize because I don’t have an interest in men with a huge age gap on me. I prepared a man that is adventurous and has the ability to make me laugh.” “Well, then I guess you're the type of woman that I hated…” Magus gets one of his five staff from his back. He struck the end of the staff to the battle ring. “... Gravity force!” Accompanied by Magus's words the gravity in the whole ring intensified. The referee that was in the same ring was forced to kneel to the ground upon activation. “A strong gravity magic was cast in the ring. The referee is having a hard time getting up. But there were no points called because player Magus is not making any direct hit
After that incident, Yumi woke up after a half-hour. She woke up on my lap. Waking up she immediately gets up her head and accidentally bumps into mine.My head hurt the same as her. I put my hands on my forehead and rub it. Unlike mine Yumi’s head was bleeding.“Laura’s head as hard as a rock.”She gets up after that ad look around the hallway.Looks like Yumi is still searching for her big sister in this area.“She’s not here anymore… You’re big sister already left this place with Lei Mei.”“My big sister is with Lei Mei. There’s still a huge chance of meeting her… I wanted to defeat my big sister so badly. But my strength is not enough. I put my reinforcement strongest reinforcement magic in a hat surprise attack. But she easily blocked my attack and counter. She didn’t even use magic. My ability didn’t even trigger.”That's true her big sis
After one hour of being unconscious. Taki is woken up and seated down on the bed.“Where I am? What is this place?”“We’re inside the Inn we rented out. It’s not that big but this Inn s the only Inn with three beds in one room. With that, we can save a lot of money.”Taki took her glace out of the window and notice how pitch dark the sky already was. She then put her hand on her head.That earsplitting sound her ability created maybe still making her head dizzy. Meanwhile, the pink-haired girl beside me is dizzy for another reason.“Laura, Taki let's go and eat dinner already… I’m already done eating hot buns.”The hot buns Lei Mei gives to us are really good but eating the same thing over and over again this morning until night is making me what to stay away from hot buns for a while.Good thing that the Inn has a restaurant located below it. With that, the three of us imme
I don't want to fight such a kind-hearted girl like her.This sudden twist. We just became friends just now and we suddenly became enemies. Since our name is been called that means the next time we’re be facing each other is on the battlefield.“Don’t make that face Laura… Don’t hesitate in the battle. We both have something o fight for. In the battle tower, we’re all mutual enemies. But that’s only on the battlefield outside the battlefield. We’re friends.”Fina said as she gives me her smile.She is right, we both have something to fight for. I need to fight to have 50 consecutive wins. She needs to fight because… What is this? Her reason to fight is not selfish like mine.I was fighting for myself that’s all because I wanted to become strong enough to travel this world. Fina is fighting for her mother and little sister.Her smiling at me right now just proves how kind she
Days later the higher we rise the floor the harder it gets. The battle is not as fast like before. Upon reaching floor 30. The battle was only done once every day. Because of that, it will take more than two weeks to completely reach floor 50.Because of some free time we have we started going out a lot, Money is not a problem anymore. I started to know why Fina wanted to continue battling in the battle tower. The reward is very high and it covers all of our bills. We are contented with the Inn we’re currently renting with three beds.Currently, I’m with Yumi and Taki enjoying the fun things in the amusement park. Battle frontier is also an amusement park. There are a lot of fun things to do. We ride many exciting rides and eat lots of things.While smiling and not worrying about anything. I come to a realization.“This is not what I wanted to do! This is not it!”“What’s the problem? Aren’t you enjoying th
“This ride will take three days before reaching the port in Everfloria city. Then, we’re riding the train to the capital city. Thinking about the long way makes me feel very exhausted already.”Looking in this ship. This ship is rather larger and looks very fancy. People wearing a pretty dresses and all people seem like they all having fun.I wanted to be fashionable like them, but money is important. An aspiring traveler like don’ need fancy clothes. If I wear fancy clothes. I will become an easy target for thieves and bandits.And that’s something I wanted to avoid. These uniform clothes are comfortable and I can easily move with them. I will be using this for now.It’s getting colder and thanks to the blazers that came from the uniform. We felt a bit warm. Taki, Yumi, and I were currently sitting at the table. On our table are hot chocolate and snacks.“This life is very comfortable… Hot chocolate
