" I swear to pay back this humiliation in ten folds." swore Xia.
" You should try acting like Nicholas. Strategize before you attack.Stop showing your weakness and find a way to correct your faults.Make sure you don't become a burden to others when you reach especially your brother Hedrick ." scolded Mayla. de
Upon hearing the statement, Xia lowered his head in same upon hearing the words. He wanted to refute but upon hearing the last statement. His expression changed instantly.
[TL: I damn loved the way the Devil's Son acted cool like he was fighting flies. To an extent of calling them corpses. Damn! I guess he literally meant 'Beat up those people who are no different from the dead. Let me call them corpses for they seem to insult the living.' He was like
' Come on! How can you be called living when you can't even fight back. Good for nothing. '
Just love his character 'finish everything in a clean way. '. Let's continue with our corpses lol.]
" Work hard, you'll have a long way to go when you arrive at the camp." said Mayla as she patted his shoulder.
" Keep fighting.''
" Let's move on after taking a shower and resting."
" Let's spend the night here."
Let group had their spirits low and hence not many words were exchanged among themselves. At night as Mayla was sitting on a tree trunk viewing the moon, Prosper approached and sat aside her.
" Sister Mayla, how do you think Brother Hedrick is doing." asked Prosper as he stared at the moon.
" What kind of person is your brother?'' asked Mayla instead of answering.
" Brother Hedrick is a person with few words but is always in trouble. He spends very little time with us because he is always summoned by the school."
" Quiet? "exclaimed Mayla.
" Yes, brother Hedrick is always quiet and only talks much when joking around. He good at using weapons and spends some time teaching me basic spear skills and the others sword skills.'' said Prosper proudly.
" Awesome!"
" Yes, brother is so awesome. His archery skills are also not lacking in the slightest. You are the second person with good archery skills I have so far seen seconding Brother Hedrick."
[ TL: The f**k! I didn't see any of the skills this dude is talking about. The Hell! this is too much. This fantasy world is even making me have hypnosis. I think some even are invisible and are in the future past tense lol. Anyways we move on.]
' Who thought that the good for nothing could be so good?' murmured Mayla under her breath with a hidden smile.
" What did you say?"
" Aaaaa nothing. I'm sure he is doing fine with his abilities."
" I hope so. I miss big brother so much."

In a valley covered by flowers, three youths were lying down on the ground. They then slowly began gaining there consciousness and sat up. Two of them were upper class beauties despite their difference in skin color and tone. One was in a sapphire dress with black hair falling onto her back complementing her snow white skin. And this was naturally Aisha while the other was in a pink dress with phoenix pattern and short brown hair complementing her chocolate skin tone. This was naturally Lynd and opposite them was a young male in blue robes and a sword aside him. Without question, it was naturally Nicholas. Upon checking their bodies, everything seemed okay as the area around them seemed new.
" I'm finally out. I'm still alive. I'm finally out. I'm finally out." shouted Nicholas cheerfully as he once again checked his body . He stretched his hand and pinched his cheek.
Aauuuch! Shshshs
" That was painful. it's real. it's not a dream. I'm alive. I'm alive."
" Thank you Netherland king for showing mercy. Thank you." said Nicholas as he knelt down and bowed three times without stopping.
" Hey, where is that strong hero who wanted to kill ghosts."teased Lynd as she stood up and stretched her limbs.
" I'll kill them. Who is scared." Nicholas drew his sword and stood in a fighting stance.
" Aaaaa... " cried Lynd with a scared expression folding her hands like she was begging for mercy with her entire body shivering.
" What's wrong? Don't think you can scare me." said Nicholas .
" Ske..leton! Gh.. ghosts! behind you.." stammered Lynd as she used her finger to point behind Nicholas.
A shadow from behind and covered Nicholas and then hands came from the sides of his face.
" Please... please.. show mercy. I was just joking. I never meant anything I said." stammered Nicholas as his sword fell from his hands, cold sweat appearing all over his body. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and closed his eyes waiting for his death.
" Aaaaa..." he cried bitterly as he clenched his fists waiting for whatever was going to happen to him.
A few seconds later, loud laughters sounded from the back and front awaking Nicholas from his state.
Hahaha !hahaha !hahaha! hahaha !hahaha!
Aisha and Lynd were laughing out loud holding their stomachs in pain but couldn't stop. The pain like one that did not exist. Moments later, the laughter came to hold. Lynd stood and began to imitate Nicholas's stance and voice.
" I'll kill them. Who is scared?"
Another round of laughter echoed throughout the valley as Nicholas just watched on in shame.
Half an hour later, the laughter came to cease completely. The girls cleared the tears of laughter from their eyes and cleared their throats but couldn't stop the small sounds of laughter from echoing.
" come on! be a man for once and don't be a coward."said Aisha seriously.
" Take the example of Hedrick who fought without even knowing how strong the enemies were but still held up until he defeated them. There is a difference between him and us. He has the potential to protect us. That differentiates the females from the males. Stand up for once and be a man or change to wearing skirts and dresses. Do what Hedrick could have done if he was around.''
" Back to business. Does anyone remember what happened?"asked Aisha and he looked around.
The two thought for a while but eventually shook their heads.
" I guess we all don't remember. Let's just head back to our original plan. The campsite. We still have a week before the deadline arrives."
The three made arrangements and then later set off.
