It was a four-hour journey to the base of the Lero mountain.
The four of them were riding their own musculars, but the one Tenzai was on seemed more fatigued, for its tongue was hanging out and its breathing was rough, too.
“Let’s split into two groups,” Fabby said. “I and Gossini know about herbs, so we’ll be in separate groups. Eddie, you go with her.”
“W-Why me?” Edgar hurriedly replied. “Tenzai will go with her.”
“No. If you are with me, you won’t collect herbs and will stand on the side, so for a change, you go with Gossini,“ said Fabby, causing Tenzai to snicker. “I’m not being funny, you know. This is serious business. We didn’t form a four-personnel team so we could pl

“What caused that ear injury?” asked Gossini.Edgar whirled around and gaped at her. He was more than a little surprised to hear that question. After Fabby explained what had happened when she returned to the funeral hall, both of them decided to never talk about what took place during that night. So he didn’t know how to reply.“When did you lose it?” seeing his uneasiness, she changed her question.“Two nights ago,” he said even though it actually happened many more nights ago. “Why?”“Two nights…” she pondered for a while. (I can’t believe he’s lying. Imagine the gall! Hmph! I don’t feel like helping him, but… for the sake of kee
WHIT 144 - PIGS THAT PRICK
In muddy grounds, Fabby and Tenzai were collecting herbs, but only one of them had a bright expression on their face. Tenzai was yawning. Fabby slapped his hand because he was picking the wrong herbs. “Look what you’re plucking. We only want the three-sided grass.”“Y-Yeah,” Tenzai replied rather unenthusiastically. (Heck, this is a boring mission. I was expecting to find some beasts on this Lero mountain, but we didn’t come across any beast that stood its ground before the dogs. And what’s more there’s downwind in the path she’s taking us. I should’ve skipped this mission. I hope other groups will kill this boredom sooner than later.) He could only curse his bad luck.Oink~! Oink~!
WHIT 145 - TONY THE TROUBLE
Before nightfall, Fabby and Tenzai had arrived at the southern end of Lero mountain. There were tens of mountains ahead of them, and the valley they were currently at was quite more dangerous than they thought.There were beasts everywhere, but Fabby and Tenzai had to stay there, for that was the promised meeting spot.They came across a couple of groups, but they were also groups led by outer disciples, so they didn’t engage in combat.Because of the lowlands of valleys, the sunset had come sooner.Fabby raised a tall earthen pillar. They stayed at the top next to the fire. Not far from there, the two musculars were feeding on a fox they had killed.“What if this tower attracts others?” asked Tenzai.
WHIT 146 - THE RISE AND FALL OF TROUBLE
Tony’s tooth flew out as he got sent packing to the side. However, he didn’t fall but jumped on his hand and landed on his feet. “To think I fell for a damn feint…” he spat a bit of blood and glared at Tenzai. He was disappointed with himself, but he quickly put that aside.Tenzai disappeared once again and appeared behind Tony, sweeping his leg at the blonde guy’s nape. Red energy suddenly covered Tony’s body, and though the kick landed solidly, Tony didn’t even budge.(Not even a response?) Tenzai landed on his feet and tried to punch from Tony’s five o’clock, but Tony turned around even faster and grabbed Tenzai’s whole face with his hand and lifted him off his feet with ease and roared as he put Tenzai’s head through the ground.
WHIT 147 - THE GROWING DARKNESS
Edgar and Gossini were traveling in the valley on the musculars. Electricity covered Edgar’s hairs and spread out enough glow for them to freely walk around.“Your sister said she’d make a pillar, but why can’t we find one?” Gossini wondered. “Did they think it’s too much of a risk to do in this valley?”“That’s possible,” Edgar looked a bit worried, “but since she said that she’ll raise a pillar, then she will. So she probably hasn't arrived yet.”“Mm…” she still seemed a bit doubtful. “But… just in case, is there any signal that you can give and—”Edgar shot electricity into the air, which formed into a silly-looking jasmine flower. “I h
WHIT 148 - THE HEART, THE WINGS, AND THE CLAWS
When one of her webs sent vibrations, Nura looked to her right and saw Tenzai. She smiled and licked her lips.“Shit! Why does it have to be this woman of all!” Tenzai immediately turned around and fled.“Not so fast,” she plucked one of her hairs and made that strand of hair stiff as a needle by sending drive into it. She put the needle on her palm and gently blew air. The needle went and struck in the back of Tenzai’s neck after piercing its way through his wig. “Got you.” When she closed her fist, he came flying toward her, and his body wasn’t under his control.“Ah, what the fuck are you doing!” he got pulled back with a great force. Tenzai fell right before her feet.“You are quite heavy, but..”
WHIT 149 - EDGAR VS ZYLER
Zyler just watched as Edgar and Gossini approached on their musculars. They didn’t stop but just went past him, without even exchanging glances. However, after going a few feet, Edgar’s muscular stopped. He turned his head back and asked, “Have you seen two people, senior? One blue-haired fellow, and a girl with a shaved head.”Zyler’s eyes slightly widened. “Why do you ask?”“We are all part of a team.”“Oh… but before I say anything, where are your manners?” Zyler’s voice deepened a bit. “You are talking to an outer disciple without even introducing yourself, much less getting down from your beasts.”A few seconds of silence passed as they exchanged stares.
WHIT 150 - YOUNG NIGHT
Fabby and Tenzai just found a cave, and after releasing the musculars to roam nearby, they entered the cave, hoping to hide inside. Luckily, there was a water stream and many plants growing inside because there were holes in the ceiling and enough light reached inside.However, there was already a hooded man, dressed in a green cloak decorated with silver, resting inside. Seeing how he wasn’t wearing a uniform, he could be a foot disciple or even an inner disciple, so the two of them turned to leave.“You can rest here,” just then his voice reached their ears, “if you want.”They didn’t think he was awake, but after hearing his words, they couldn’t just leave, so they sat on the opposite end of the stream.“I’m Tenzai
