I like the way I taste you. You taste like a strawberry- a soft and soft strawberry. Your addicting smell lingering in my nose. You smell like cigarettes- a sweet cigarette

Emilien Kwon was never one to invest himself into romance. It was time-consuming and set himself for failure that he had yet to want to experience. Heartbreak was a better term for that. Yet, it wasn't until he set eyes on Bambi Lee that he realized there was more to life than what he had.

After I got assaulted by Marcel's flurry of words, I then sat down with some engineers where they had gathered all necessary measurements that they need to extend platform from one end to the other end. It would also take some support vertical and horizontal beams and some planks the works on rectification could be performed.

After getting what was required, and doing away with the need for additional stairwells, the engineers set themselves to gather the necessary materials. Before they left they informed me that the works at the cold storage had begun and would be completed before lunchtime.

"Thank you for the report guys, I would be heading there in a jiffy. Besides, it's just a few building away. Oy my friend, I would be leaving you alone here first." 

"I will go and see Priestesses Imelda's progress and I would be monitoring the movement of the items from both sides pretty soon. Its Autumn now so I would deduce that there would be a lot of hunting soon."

"Game meats need to be stocked up for winter before those wonderful meats would eventually hibernate and become thin when they appear during Spring...!"

"Alright... I will proceed to Old Jack's to inform him of a new task and see if he would be up for it. Cheers mate. See you later..."

Marcel replied as he continued his work on making that signage right after he uses an awl to bore two holes on the top corners of the sawn-off planks. Besides, he would need to sun the signage before he could mount them up. Using a small ¼ inch horsetail brush, he carefully stencilled the required signage for all kinds of grains and flour.

As the engineers would be continuing the rectification works, he would be gone by the time they arrive so as not to disrupt their work and head down to Old Jack's to chug a few mugs of strong ale there.

=*=

"Hiya, Priestesses Imelda, how was the progress for the frozen unit compartment? My... There's a lot of tether hooks here and lots of shelving units installed as well. So... I assume that the boar and venison would be hanged here in the deepest section of the frozen unit compartment here, right? And these shelvings would be used to store those bags and baskets for fish, meat parts and poultry in suppose."

I noticed there were 4 tiered shelves installed within the first level of the cold storage. The platform had been extended as well and now it covers the ceiling that made up the second level of the platform. 

Swinging wooden double bay doors represent the entrance of the frozen unit compartment. A few winter wear and mittens were hung at the bay doors so if someone uses one, anyone would see it's missing from the hook which indicates that someone was working inside.

"Hello, Your Majesty. The rectifications works had been completed and someone came to sweep the sawdust and dirt off the floor already. Pretty soon, the floor would be laid with straw to retain the coolness not to be absorbed into the floor like the one we Ave right now."

"Too bad we can't transfer any of the items except for these hooks and the shelves.l that would be added here accordingly. The temperature here would be 30° Fahrenheit, a tad below the freezing point."

"Oh yeah before I forget... You are not being fair to me because you didn't allow me to make the strawberry ice cream to sell during summer... "

I raised my eyebrows and looked at Priestesses Imelda as wisps of steam came out from her mouth as she speaks. "Strawberry ice-cream... Strawberry ice cream... Strawberry ice cream...?" I let the words lolled in my mouth as I tried to jog back the memories and then I suddenly remembered.

I slapped my thighs and also my forehead and apologies to Priestesses Imelda as I suddenly remembered that she made strawberry ice cream last Autumn.

My gosh... Its been a year and how time flies...!

But the most important thing was — Strawberry ice cream that was made in the conference hall during the time when she freezes the balances and I had a mouthful while the rest had been devoured by Heather...

HOW DARE I FORGET AND ALLOW THE DEPRIVATION OF CHILDREN'S JOY...!! How despiteful had I become... I too missed those ice cream, you know... Wuwuwuwu.

"AARRGGHH... Alright... Calm down... Calm down... There's no need to panic at all..." I reached out for the sides of my face as I shrieked out my absentmindedness.

"Priestesses Imelda, you may get the help of Old Jack to make some trays after this and then you can make those strawberry ice creams and store them in the frozen unit compartment here right?" 

"It could be made into bars with a reed stick at the end of it so the consumers could hold the stick and lick the ice cream, could they?" 

"Oh yeah, you could even make a small pushcart with a mobile insulated wooden box and store them because if you mix those foods here I think it would smell and even taste of raw meat, fish or poultry."

"Like a food cart, Your Majesty? This is already the start of Autumn, do you think there would be people who would be eating them? But as for me, I don't mind it at all since I could mingle with the crowd and also eat the ice cream too."

"By the way, I could sell it in various flavours, right? Hahaha. Thanks for giving me the go-ahead and some ideas Your Majesty. In that case, I could sell them around to the children first. Maybe 1 copper would be enough."

Priestesses Imelda wanted to rush out from the cold storage but was stopped by me. "Eh, have you completed your job yet?"

"No, I haven't. But I would get the people to make me a push food cart with two front wheels and back legs. It would be a wooden chest that I need to imbue the freezing properties first before I make the ice cream in trays. I also need to get the flavours set. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will get back here again to complete the works. Just only the chilling unit compartment that I would need to imbue it to regulate the temperature to 39°F. I'd be right back, Your Majesty... "

With a trailing voice, Priestesses Imelda left the cold storage as she skied across the ground as she went to the woodcutter's area and also the Blacksmith to get her ice-cream pushcart. 

Then she went to the meet Crystal over at the livestock holding area to retrieve some milk and to the bakery to get fruits and boiled red and green beans to make an assortment of flavours.

She left a lot of afterimages in her wake as she goes around to all the places she had visited to make her project possible and launch soon. 

Slightly before lunchtime, she came back to the cold storage to complete the other part where she imbued her special abilities and brought the upper platform of the cold storage to a temperature considered as safe refrigeration for all fresh fruits, vegetables as well as drinks and other perishables. 

By that time I had gone to Old Jack's with Marcel as we discussed with Old Jack about a nut and bolt concept of a lifting boom. 

After Marcel had scratched the diagram on the floor with a stick, Old Jack then knew what we both were trying to convey and he told us that the lifting boom would be ready soon by night conference. 

With the assistance of Andy and Samuel along with the 4 lads from Durham, the works to produce such a simple contraption would only take some hours. 

Besides that, Priest Michael also assisted to conjure up the minerals required which resulted in the Blacksmith to produce an alloy stronger than steel.


Abby entered the mart and smiled a greeting at the security man who opened the door for her. He gave her a huge smile in return, he felt flattered and surprised at being noticed by a lady as beautiful as Abby. 

Most of the people he opened the door for usually just pass through without glancing at him, today must be my lucky day, he thought to himself.

On getting inside the mart, Abby realized the inside was bigger than what it appeared to be from the outside as its length extended much deeper inside than expected. That means she could get everything she wanted here.

 She walked around and quickly picked some basic groceries like beverages, pastries, frozen foods, canned foods, and also some fresh fruits.

'Since he paid for my hair, the least I could do is cook him a nice meal, only God knows the last time he had a good home-cooked meal' she smiled to herself, the thought of cooking for him excited her. 

To Abby, cooking is a hobby and not a chore like some people might see it. Apart from fashion designing which is her job, a job she's very passionate about, if she was asked to pick the one she loves the most between, her two hobbies, cooking, and gaming, she wouldn't be able to choose because she loved both hobbies equally.  

Cooking simply makes her happy and her cooking can be likened to a first-rate chef, she learned the culinary art from the best chef ever. Julianna who is a seasoned chef herself thought her only child the amalgamation of varied food cultures and the creative uses of different ingredients and foods of both local and international cuisines.  

After she was done with her shopping inside the mart, Abby pushed her cart to the cashier's station and excuse herself to go get something outside. Before entering the mart she had noticed a small kiosk filled with different kinds of fresh vegetables and other ingredients for cooking local dishes.

 'Since today is my birthday, I'm treating myself to a richly cooked edikaikong soup and a quick shrimp pasta for the oyinbo man' she mused.

She bought the ingredients for the soup and went back into the mart. 'I need something for the road,' she thought to herself, she then picked two medium-sized bowls of vanilla and strawberry ice cream before going back to the cashier to pay with her debit card, packed up her groceries back into the cart, and left.

Tunde was amazed when he saw her pushing the shopping cart towards the car. 'Why does she need so much stuff?' he wondered, it never occurs to him that she would think to shop for him. He quickly got out of the car to help her unload the cart.

"Why do you need so much stuff!?" He asked her, surprised at how plenty the groceries she bought were.

"They are for you... The holy book says to be our brother's keeper, so I'm teaching you the importance of a full pantry since it's lost on you." 

"Ohh... Thank you so much, mom!" He said and smiled, amazed by her kind gesture. 'I wouldn't even know what to do with this much food but Mide would' he mused.

They unpacked the cart and got back into the car. 

"It's Saturday!" Paul groaned when he noticed the traffic had started to build up..." shouldn't there be less traffic on the road since most people are usually home on Saturdays." He hated being caught in Lagos traffic and started to regret not allowing Shegz to drive him. 

"It's not much... There is a traffic light up ahead, I believe that's what's causing the traffic, don't worry it will move in no time."

She brought out the ice cream and offered him one since she bought it for two people. 

"Ice cream?"

"No thank you. I don't like sugar" he politely refused, watching her as she opened the ice cream with delight.

"I'm not offering you sugar; it's strawberry and vanilla ice cream! Who wouldn't want that?" She asked with a frown on her face, not believing anybody in their right sense would reject strawberry and vanilla ice cream.

"Me obviously...but I thought all women are scared of gaining weight. Aren't you afraid of getting fat...counting calories and all that shit?" 

"Nope!... I don't count calories. I'm one of the lucky few who can eat whatever I want and not gain weight."

"I see..."

She put a spoonful in her mouth... "hmmm..." she closed her eyes and moaned with pleasure as the smooth velvety taste of the ice cream melted in her mouth.

Tunde watched her foodgasm as she took spoonful after spoonful from the ice cream bowl. His suppressed hot desires for her now coursing and burning through his veins. 

He swallowed out of the desire for her, wishing he could kiss her right now. He wants to give her a real orgasm, more than what her boyfriend had ever given her. He wants to hear her moan and see her writhe under him with hot pleasure.

Kei waited outside the class he gripped the medallion that allowed him to call forth his rustung.
the armor he received from his father the man who designed most everything the human race uses against the einst.

he remembered what his father said if you need any weapon ask and you shall receive.
right now I need the courage of a legendary warrior. I thought.
the door opened up.
"you can come in now mister haramaki." Said the teacher.
I walked into the class.
"My name is kei Haramaki ,it's a pleasure to meet you ,please treat me well." I said.
All the girls looked at me with blank stares.
then I was bombarded with questions.
" is it true you're from Hiroshima." A girl with a Texas accent asked.
"yes" I said.
"so then do you know ninjutsu." a soft spoken brunette with a bountiful bosom said.
Er no I study kendo and Kung fu. I said.
" so then that explains your manly figure" a girl with glasses and brown long hair said.
" exscuse me" I said.
"Don't mind her suger,a girl with reddish brown hair
"she's just in charge of the protective flight suit designs for Schneider pilots." She continued

"so then what's your rustung?" Asked A girl who looked to be about twelve.
"um it's called genesis." I said.
finally this all ended when a Bodacious blond slammed her hand on the desk.
" ladies, mister haramaki is our esteemed guest at this academy so give him some respect." She said.
she must be the incho sama. { the class representative}
now mister haramaki let me formally introduce you to our class.
she began over going the girl's names.
the four who were mentioned were Sarah jones. The blonde.
Veda  McDonnell. the soft spoken busty brunette.
Heidi Woodville. The red head who called me sugar..
"felicity" the brown haired girl with glasses.
and strawberry liquorish.  no I'm not kidding you.
well um it's nice to meet you all.
after class We were brought to the arena where I met a girl from the sophomore year.
"My name is sakura kotomia, and I will be instructing you on combat with your rustung."she said.
now let me see if anyone would like to volunteer for a demonstration.
"how about the boy." She said.
I stepped forward.
"Call forth your Rustung!" She said.
"as you wish" I said and I focused my mind.
"Rustung come forth." I shouted suddenly I was enveloped by the radiance  of a silver glow and 
 I stood before them dressed  in a silver body armor a silver helmet with a red face shield like a hooked bill a golden fin creat over hung on my head. a long braided ponytail hung up back a square shield on my left arm and an energy revolver by holstered On my left thigh.
" Awesome!"strawberry liquorish said.
"where are your weapons!"she said.
"I don't need them my armor is limitless" I said.
and I attacked her she transformed in a flash and now stood in a red and black armor with a horn a shield And what appeared to be a rifle she shot off a bolt of energy it glanced off my shield 
I held my hand out a focused my mind on the image of a sword I pictured a long knight sword and attacked her with my will.
the sword appeared in my hand and I attacked her with a flying 
"hi giri!" I shouted and cut her rifle in half fortunately the weapons of Rustungs can regenerate. After every battle.
The upperclassman drew a energy axe and attacked me with it but I parried her axe and quickly disarmed her using a familiar maneuver then I threw my sword down and snapped of a shot from my energy revolver.
she looked up at me and gasped.
I had shot of her horn.
she bowed
"you beat me in this demonstration kuhai." I thank you for the lesson.
later I found my dorm witch when I opened it I saw an image I would never forget.
veda stood their stark naked putting on red lace panties.
I was frozen in my tracks.
she blushed all she could say was 
"close...the door...please.
 Braking from my stupor I closed the door and helped her with her clothes.
Once she was dressed I apologized for intruding and ogling her.
she forgave me.
there was an awkward silence then she spoke up.
"what did you think..." she said in her quiet manner of speech.
All I could do was give her a thumbs up. 👍🏻

then I grabbed my free change of clothes and a towel and washcloth and took a shower.
after coming out I swore Veda was blushing.
she noticed my hair was long but not long enough to bey like my ponytail in my Rustung.
I explained it was like a Scorpion's stinger.
after laying on my my uniform on my bed I began going over my toa's of my Kung fu style it was a Muslim Kung fu technique called hsing i liuye quan.
the technique combined the internal art of hsing i quan witch focused on releasing forceful light punches with the xioalin martial art of liuye quan witch uses snake monkey dragon and bear forms.
after finishing this Veda looked at me.
"you fight like that...but use a sword... and revolver?" She asked.
I smiled at her.
"I practice swordsmanship and gun fighting as well." I answered.
"I see..." she said.
I got up and said I'm going to go for a walk.
she nodded.
and I walked off to the school grounds suddenly I saw sakura kotomia.
She noticed me and came over.
" what the hell was that!?" She asked me.
"What?" I said confused.
"you have the power to materialize weapons!"
"like I said before my armor is limitless!"
she looked disappointed but then she smiled wickedly.
"your going to need a good Schneider"then she said.

Kei haramaki is the only boy who can use the rustung.
A special armament designed for the use of combat against the aliens known as the einstel.As a result he is sent to the academy for training those who use the rustung and the robot battle suits called Schneider’ now he must adjust to school life in as the lone boy in a school of all female.

Gely was already angry as he had been tracking this bastard's tail for more than a week. For a Royal Magmapien this alone was an extreme humiliation, not to mention that the human was just a puny Late Sargent evolver.
However, this was a direct order from his father.
Leaving him without any option, he gritted his teeth and went directly to the Inner Region to find out what had happened with the heir of the Sword branch and the human that was responsible for all this mess. Who could have expected that the moment he caught the troublesome guy, he would find the most important treasure of his race- The Fruit of Rebirth.
He was shocked!!
For generations, The Fruit of Rebirth has been the most important treasure of the Magmapien race. Naturally, even Gely didn't know exactly what it did or the uses it has. But he was sure no matter who absorbs it, he or she will gain something incredibly precious... or at least that what his father said.
Seeing that the human was just a Late Sargent stage evolver, he wanted to kill him as soon as possible and took the fruit for himself.
Of course, he didn't plan to absorb it immediately. He knew that the Royal Family had many ways to discover if you had taken the fruit for yourself. Even if he was a Royal Magmapien himself, the moment they found out that he had eaten it… 
They will kill him with the most painful methods and then extract those precious energies from his core.
Even his father couldn't save him against the wrath of the Royal Family!!
So, after killing Max he would hide the fruit for some years until a perfect opportunity appeared to escape from this underground world. But sometimes, things didn't turn out the way you expected them. Not only did the human dodge his sneak attack but at the same time used some strange methods to shoot himself upward in the air, and in a swift movement took the fruit and...
EAT IT IN FRONT OF HIS FACE!!!
****
'It is quite sweet' Max had to admit that although the strawberry didn't seem to be edible, it was actually incredibly sweet. Much more than any strawberry he had ever eaten.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
This thought only stayed a second as dozens of golden wheels were fired by the enraged Gely.
He paled a little bit, seeing the might of those blazing wheels, that not only were powerful but also very swift. To his luck, he dodged almost all the wheels, except one that grazed his left shoulder. Leaving a deep dark cut and a fiery type of energy that wanted to spread throughout his whole body.
The pain was so high that Max's consciousness was clouded by an instant, leaving him vulnerable against the Magmapiens attacks. Luckily, the Chip took control of his ability and started fighting against the blazing energy from that golden wheel.
Light-blue flames explode all around Max's left shoulder, covering the ugly wound that was filled with charred skin, muscles and blood. Inside the ball of fire, there was a rice-size golden speck which was desperately fighting back against the light-blue flames. Although the golden speck's quality was higher, the quantity of light-blue flames was just too much and it was vaporized after struggling for some seconds.
"~phew!"
Max breathed out a sigh of relief and shifted all his attention to the dozens of golden wheels that were constantly being released by Gely.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Max used his jets to dodge every single one of them as he ran towards a tunnel that goes directly to the surface.
The Royal Magmapien was very powerful, but he was even slower than Knor, so Max was not too worried about shaking him off. 
But who could have expected that after running for less than twenty meters… his body abruptly froze. It was not only him. Gely, the lava and even the fire bursts from the lava ocean were frozen in both time and space. Seeing this, Max's back became drenched in a cold sweet.
Well… having your body frozen in both time and space was far for being something pleasant, but extremely horrifying! As time was completely stopped, Max couldn't measure how much time had passed, as it could be a second or a year.
This is what had almost given him a mental breakdown!!!
After an unknown amount of time passed, small black cracks appeared all over the space that was locked. Some were the size of a fist and others were bigger than a human head, but all of them share the same pitch-black color. It was so black that it didn't even reflect the light!!
But the scariest one was definitely the one before Max, which was two meters tall.
However, different from the rest, this crack kept expanding itself until it was five times bigger than Max.
Suddenly, a massive suction force came from the pitch-black crack and sucked Max inside it, with tons of dirt and rocks from the surrounding.
"Noooooooo!!!!" Max screamed inwardly as the black crack swallowed him, but there was nothing he could do against such heavenly power.
…
In an unknown cave, a pitch-black crack appeared and a body went out of it hitting the hard soil.
Thud!
Max opened his clouded eyes, trying to understand what had happened to him and where the hell he was. But apart from his eyelids, he couldn't move a single muscle of his body due to the tiredness and the sheer pain that was making his body shake and tremble.
Only after some minutes, did the discomfort started to gradually dissipate and with great effort, he stood up.
"WHERE THE HELL I AM!? AND WHAT IS THIS!!!??"
Max looked at the floor and saw that it seemed to be made out of a certain type of pitch-black substance which was similar to the marble from Earth, with the difference that it has an eerie black luster on the surface. He looked up and saw that he was in the middle of a huge cave but he couldn't see much of it with the limited light that his flames provided.
However, he could feel the gravity here was at least two or three times stronger than outside. Other than the increased gravity, the surrounding temperature was also high, at approximately 50 degrees Celsius. Max didn't know where he was or even if he was on the same planet, so these changes did not surprise him much.
Even though he didn't seem to be nervous from outside, deep inside he was totally frightened with all this bizarre chain of events. Hence, he took a deep breath to concentrate and cool his mind.
"I should explore this cave… if I'm lucky, this crack might have just thrown me not to far away from my previous position"
After gathering all his courage, he took a step onto the pitch-black soil…
Shake! Shake! Shake!
Not even a second passed before Max noticed the earth-shaking and when he looked down, he found there were numerous spiderweb-cracks appearing on the ground, and these cracks were spreading at very fast speed.
Max didn't notice these cracks forming, when he fell on the ground earlier, as he had other things to be worried about. But now he could see the spider web-like cracks forming in the ground; he couldn't believe what was happening.
His lips twitched uncontrollably.
First; he had unknowingly eaten the blue strawberry then, something or someone had paralyzed him in both time and space before being swallowed by an enormous black crack. And now he was going to fall from this abnormal cave to who knows where...
"JUST WHICH FUCKING GOD IS PLAYING WITH MY LIFE!!!!" He cursed loudly, increasing the number of cracks beneath him.
"FUCK IT!!!"
Before his voice could even disappear the ground collapsed, taking Max down with it before he could do anything about it.

Cally was actively growling. The question and answer session had broken down and Marcus was talking to President Renard, Sarah, Gladys and several council members. When everyone's hair stood up. Cally was using either consciously or unconsciously subharmonic sounds along with fierce growls to warn off Councilwoman Angela Perez, Jessie and Abby. Marcus looked over and realized his bright beautiful girl, who was a singularity in the entire world was guarding a platter of chocolate covered fruit.

Councilwoman Perez was frozen. She was incapable of movement while holding a chocolate covered strawberry. It was a work of art. Cally's growls were getting more intense and the subharmonics were starting to seriously effect everyone in the room. President Reynard was aghast, "Christ she took the Wotan's food. We had multiple meetings about this!" He could plainly see Cally's eyes were starting to glow. "Marcus, you have to do something!"

Marcus walked over to the frozen in fear councilwoman and took the uneaten strawberry and placed it back on the platter. Instantly the subharmonics stopped. The growls tapered off quickly. Marcus flicked Cally's forehead with one finger. "Are you not ashamed? A grown woman acting this way over a fruit? This table is full of food and you are acting like the proverbial dog in the manger! You were scaring people."

The strawberry was easily the size of a small apple with its added white and milk chocolate designs. Half of it disappeared in Cally's mouth. After chewing for a minute, "Ashamed, no. It's mine." Taking her eyes off of the attempted chocolate thieves, she stared at Marcus. Cally finished her strawberry and delicately licked her lips. "What's mine is mine."

Cally looked over her yummiest yummys. There was chocolate covered strawberries, cherries, blueberries, pineapple, pomegranate, oranges, dried apricots and others she couldn't decide on till she ate them. Picking a chocolate covered pineapple, she smelled it, licked it and nibbled the edge while smiling temptingly at Marcus. "You and the council had more questions?"

Marcus folded his arms in front of his chest. He considered the audience around and went back to questioning her. She probably was listening to his conversation and everyone else's conversation while she was eating. "What are the chances that the FBI agent that came here knew we were werewolves? Or that werewolves exist?"

"Hm, it depends on his age, his coven and his  grimoire  or book of spells. If he is way older than he looks he could have encountered werewolves or other supernatural entities. He might have an old powerful coven that would have histories of werewolves.  Or his grimoire which is basically a  textbook of magic,  would mention encounters with us." Cally was popping chocolate covered blueberries like there was no tomorrow. "I personally don't think he is more than 50 years old" At Marcus' look she added, "I know. I know. he didn't look over 30 but I think he has managed to add at least 20 years to his life. I can't make any guesses about his coven or grimoire. But I doubt he could have any knowledge of us. Could be wrong but I don't think so."

"Would he definitely be part of a coven?" Cally thought for several minutes. She was making fantastic headway through her fruit tray. Gladys was still taking notes and was wondering if Cally was going to answer. Maybe she forgot the question, didn't know, was going to finish eating first? Marcus waited patiently. Finally Cally answered, "Sigh." Reaching up she rubbed her temples as if in pain.

" No. Maybe. I don't know. I did my damnedest to wipe out most of the powerful covens. But some witches are loners that take on apprentices or have children later. One becomes two. Two becomes a coven. Like cockroaches.  I have seen much evil and I believe in 'Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live'. At least not the black ones. White witches are okay as long as they don't 'turn to the dark side'."

She is the strongest, the oldest, the Supreme Alpha wolf. And she was born yesterday. She has lived many lives and had too many names. Her loved ones have come and gone several times. It is best if she temporarily forgets.         
    After too  many centuries were-wolves lose their humanity. They become nothing more than ravenous beasts that must be destroyed to protect  humans and weres alike.    She is the answer. Now she is going home, the world has changed on her again. She must adapt and she must learn to lead her people through this crazy new world and she may even find her chance to love one last time.

After the black cloth was taken off by the worker, everyone is surprised to see what inside.

"What fruit is that?"

"How can a fruit have a shape like that?"

"It's fake, right?"

While everyone is speculating whether or not the fruit is real, Xu Ling smiled, "Sister Xue, it seems your help isn't needed," she said.

On the participant's area, Su Wen gasped, "Song Tian... You..." she exclaimed.

Pedro Costa sighed, "Darn, the appearance alone already makes me lose my confidence in my watermelon," he said.

What Song Tian brought to the auction isn't only a fruit, but a whole strawberry plant.

With his [Transplant] ability, Song Tian moves a plant to a huge pot, close it with a breathable glass and cover it with the black cloth.

What makes everyone surprised isn't the whole plant, but the fruit itself. Each strawberry has their unique shapes. 

From star shape, square shape, and other shapes are present in the plant.

The plant also only has ten strawberries in it.

Su Wen asked, "How did you do it? Did you use a fruit mold or something?" she couldn't help but ask.

Pedro Costa nodded. He's also curious about how Song Tian manages to make fruit like that.

Song Tian shook his head, "I'm not using any mold, it grows that way naturally," he said.

Pedro Costa snorted, "Nice story, no one would believe that bullcrap," he said.

Song Tian laughed, "You'll see it later," he said.

On the stage, Maeda Shin looking at the fruit, especially the one in front of him, "How is this possible? Is the farmer using a mold for this strawberry?" he thought.

The strawberry which caught Maeda Shin's interest the most had a shape like a thick stick coiled by a snake.

Maeda Shin picked the other fruit to began the taste assessment. 

Shen Lan, who sat on the chair not far away from Song Tian, chuckled, "Even if the fruit has a unique shape, there's no point if it has a regular taste," she said as she looked at the stage.

Shen Lan smiled as she saw Maeda Shin's eyes widened after tasting the fruit, she thought the strawberry taste didn't meet Maeda Shin's expectation.

Not long after, Maeda Shin handed an assessment letter to the worker.

The worker who saw it is surprised, he immediately went to put the result on a huge screen.

Shen Lan laughed, "How is it? Song Tian's product must've been disqualified already," she said.

Jiang An coughed, "Young miss, you might want to look at the result," he said.

Shen Lan smiled, "Well, I guess it's time for him to realize his wrongdoing," she said.

Just as she turned around to look at the result, Shen Lan's face changed, "Impossible!" she said.

Shen Lan thought the result will be the same as her prediction, but turned out she's wrong.

On the screen, Song Tian's strawberry base price already decided, and it's $50.000 for one fruit.

"$50.000 for one fruit? Did I see a typo?"

"Wow, look at that price! I can't believe Maeda Shin put a higher base price than his own fruit."

"Didn't he also sold his fruit for $50.000?"

"You're right, but the base price for his fruit back then is only $30.000."

"Does that mean it's even better than his own fruit?"

"Who knows, since Maeda Shin himself put that much of a price, it must've been better than the fruit he sold last month."

"Even the previous judges for the Archaine Farmers Festival didn't get that much of result, the highest one from them only got $25.000."

An old man pushed a button on his table, "$50.500! That fruit is mine!" he said, which makes everyone surprised.

Not long after, several rich people started to bid to get their hands on Song Tian's fruit.

In the participant's area, Pedro Costa asked, "Are you prepared? Soon, people might ask your credibility about this," he said.

Song Tian smiled, "Relax, I got this," he said.

"$56.000, but I would like to know whether or not the fruit is really cultivated by the farmer himself."

Before Su Wen says something, she heard one of the bidders already started to ask about the plant.

Song Tian chuckled, he looked at Su Wen and Pedro Costa, "Wait for me here," he said as he walked toward the stage.

Everyone could see a long-haired young man coming up to the stage.

The host looked at the young man who's talking with the worker, "What a handsome young man.. I mean, what is he doing here?" she muttered.

Maeda Shin asked, "Who are you?" he said as the young man walked towards him.

Song Tian smiled, "I'm the one who cultivated this plant," he said, which makes Maeda Shin and the host startled.

Song Tian looked at the host, "Can I have the microphone?" he said.

Looking at the young man smiling at her, the host tried to hide her blush by looking downward while handed the microphone to Song Tian.

With a microphone in his hand, Song Tian looked at everyone, "First, let me introduce my self. I'm Song Tian, the one who cultivates this strawberry," he said.

Song Tian continued, "Since someone asked whether or not I'm really the one who cultivated this strawberry, I have something for everyone to see," he said.

On the screen, a video of Song Tian held his Intermediate Hoe on his farm could be seen.

Song Tian smiled, "It'll be easier for all of you to see the process itself," he said.

Song Tian continued, "Here's one-week timelapse video from the start of planting the strawberry until it's matured. Don't worry, I also have raw footage of it if you want to watch it later," he said as he nodded to the worker on the stage.

On the screen, everyone could see the process of Song Tian planting the strawberry seed and taking care of it.

Everyone could see the strawberry plant quickly matured, and each fruit started to grow into their own unique shapes.

Maeda Shin surprised to see Song Tian didn't use any fruit mold to change the strawberry shape.

At the end of the video, everyone could see Song Tian moved the plant to the pot and covered it with a glass.

"If everyone is wondering, the glass has several holes in it, so the plant can take the oxygen."

After watching the video, the one who asked the question earlier started to push the button again, "$60.000," she said.

"$61.000."

As everyone started to bids again, Song Tian handed back the microphone to the host.

Maeda Shin looked at Song Tian, "Mister Song Tian, are you interested in selling your plant to me? I'll buy it for one million," he said.

The host who hears it couldn't help but startled.

Song Tian smiled, "That's too expensive, I only plan to sell the fruit," he said.

Maeda Shin sighed, "That's unfortunate," he said.

Maeda Shin handed his business card to Song Tian, "Come to visit my garden in Japan if you have the time in the future," he said.

Song Tian smiled, he also handed his business card to Maeda Shin, "Alright, I will," he said as he left the stage.

Pedro Costa looked at Song Tian, laughed, "Darn, that was smooth," he said.

Su Wen sighed, "You could've told them one month instead, to avoid any troubles in the future," he said.

Song Tian laughed, "I could've just answered them that it was a speed breeding," he said.

Song Tian continued, "Look at Pedro and other farmers, they also use their own unique speed breeding to fasten their crops growth rate," he said.

Ever since he learned about the speed breeding on the internet, Song Tian found out Pedro Costa, and other farmers he knows uses that method.

That's why Song Tian didn't cover up on his crop duration anymore.

Pedro Costa nodded, "That's right, one week for a plant isn't that rare," he said.

Hearing that, Su Wen is somewhat relieved.

On another table, Jiang An sighed as Shen Lan unconsciously crushed her phone in her hand.

Hearing no one bids anymore, Shen Lan gritted her teeth, "Let this over already," she said.

BEEP!

"$75.000."

Shen Lan looked at the source of the voice. She saw Wang Hai and Yoshida Kenji. They're grinning at her, which makes her veins bulged.

Not long after that, the other guest started to bid again.

In the end, Song Tian's fruit is sold at $80.000. The other eight strawberries also sold to the others.

Several moments later, in front of the hotel, Wang Hai saw Song Tian and Su Wen, laughed, "Yo, your ex is really mad at me," he said.

Song Tian sighed, "Of course she is, you purposely increase the price," he said.

Song Tian continued, "Where is she?" he asked.

Wang Hai laughed, "She's already left," he said.

Wang Hai continued, "She also told me that it's not over, and she will come back again," he said.

Yoshida Kenji chuckled, "She sounds like one of those villains in the cartoon," he said.

Song Tian's mouth twitched, after talking for a while with his friends, he went back to his farm.

In the car, Su Wen found out that Song Tian prepared the video yesterday.

Su Wen thought Song Tian really made the video for seven days. Turns out, the video is manipulated by Song Yi.

Song Tian also does the manipulated video thing when he sold his bluefin tuna to Charles Smith.

Song Tian purposely reduced the amount of strawberry to ten fruits for the auction purpose.

As for the shapes, Song Tian picked a random plant on his [Elite Field], which most of the plants relied on the fertilizer.

Once Song Tian uses [Elite Quality] fertilizer upgrade for his crops, the shapes will be randomized.

Inside the house somewhere in Central Milverion, shattered glasses, vase, and other household stuff could be seen littering all around the floor.

Shen Lan leaned her back on the couch, staring blankly at the ceiling. "Uncle An, if I were to train diligently, can I take him by force?" she asked.

Jiang An's face changed. He shook his head, "Young miss, it's even more impossible if you're using that method," he said.

Jiang An continued, "Even Grandmaster Shen didn't dare to offend Song Family," he said.

Shen Lan sighed, "Then, what should I do?" she said.

Jiang An answered, "You have to accept Young Master Song being a farmer, that's the only way," he said.

Shen Lan scowled, "Impossible! Either he chooses me or his farming nonsense," she said.

Jiang An sighed, "Isn't it obvious already? Young miss, you have to face reality," she said.

Shen Lan glared at Jiang An angrily.

"Welcome to Marineford."
Marineford. This name alone brings terror in the hearts of the majority of the pirates.
For them, Marineford signifies death. And they are correct.
Being the most fortified base all over the world, Marineford is the HQ of the Marines.
Marineford is not just a base, Marineford is a symbol for everyone in the world.
It signifies Justice, Fairness and Strength. At least it should.
Nowadays, corruption is rampant in the organisation. What was once an organisation that truly wished for the ideals mentioned, has now been degraded as dogs of the nobles, followers of tyranny.
Marineford is situated near the Sabaody Archipelago and was directly next to Mary Geoise.
Mary Geoise is a city located on the Red Line and it's residence to the Celestial Dragons and their slaves.
Marineford is a crescent moon-shaped island that is composed sorely of steel and bricks, with hundreds of cannons on the edges.
There are 3 locations in Marineford: the Marine HQ building, the Marineford Town and lastly the Marineford Bay.
The Marine HQ building is at the back of the base right in the centre. It's remarkably tall and it was built based on eastern culture.
Marineford Town. As implied by the name, it's where the families of the marines live. At the centre of the town, the Oris Plaza is set. It is a plain and empty area, but it was built on purpose this way as it had to represent the frugality of the marines.
Lastly, Marineford Bay. In here hundreds of ships are found, showing the absolute fighting power of the marines.
The recruits were shown all of this, to create a sense of belonging to such a prestigious organisation.
Finally, the group arrived at their temporary residence, the barracks. That is until they end the training camp, where they will be entitled to own a house in Marineford Town.
"This is where you stay, feel free go and claim your bed. Tomorrow morning at first lights you will be called. We will have a competition. At the end of the competition, you will be told if you are in the Elite camp or not." Said the guide, while turning around to leave.
"Sir, please wait a moment." Called out Luis.
"What it is?"
"I have my little sister here, where should she sleep?" Said Luis pointing at Cara.
"Girls sleep there." Said the guide pointing at the building next to the barrack before leaving.
Luis looked at Cara and said: "You heard the man, go on and sleep well. See you tomorrow."
"You too Luis-nii, goodnight!"
________________________________________________
The next morning everyone was standing on the training field, with the only exception being Cara that was looking from the edge sitting on a bench.
In front of them stood a marine that was shouting the competition format.
2 people will be randomly paired and the winner between the 2 will qualify for the next round.
This keeps going on until a final winner is established.
Sadly no one was listening to him, as all the recruits were nervously looking at the figures sitting on the balcony that had a direct view over the field.
This balcony is exclusive to Vice-Admirals and above, so you can imagine why most of the recruits were nervous.
Word got out that Zephyr himself wanted to come to watch this competition as someone told him that a truly talented man was amongst this group.
Because of this many officers that were free decided to come by.
The most known was surely Admiral Aokiji, with his usual lazy look on his face, Former Admiral Zephyr and Vice-Admiral Strawberry.
"Have you understood?" Asked the marine after having explained everything.
"Yes sir."
First battle Alex W. vs Rick Q.
....
45 minutes later.
Luis vs Shawn Dasser.
Hearing this Luis calmly took the lance that he got from the marines and walked towards the stage with indifference on his face.
Shawn Dasser instead took his sword and walked forward with clear anxiousness.
At the same time, Zephyr from the balcony changed his otherwise bored expression into one more focused.
Seeing this Aojiki and Strawberry exchanged a glance before Aokiji asked: " Z-sensei, is this the promising young man?"
"Yes. From what I've heard he got a lot of talent. I want to see if it's true." He replied.
"Arara let's see him in action then." Gave a slight chuckle Aokiji while Strawberry just watched.
At the same time on stage.
"Start."
Without wasting any time Luis just ran forward and clashed his lance with the sword that came swinging from Shawn. Because of the huge disparity in strength amongst the 2 contestants, Shawn wasn't able to hold on his sword and fell to the ground.
Luis just took the lance and placed it right above his heart.
"Luis, win."
On the balcony.
"Arara, this wasn't even a challenge." Said Aokiji.
"I suppose not. From what I know he killed an 80 million bounty.
While the rest of the recruits aren't bad, they are far from being able to contend against him. Well, I can already see who wins this." Replied Zephyr.
"Still, he uses a lance... That's a strange weapon. I don't think we have a lance user, do we?" Intervened finally Strawberry.
"We don't. But we do have Harry, he uses a spear, but the principle behind the weapon is the same. If Harry has time he could give out some pointers to him." Said Zephyr.
Fights kept on, and finally, Luis got called again on stage.
The fight again ended with Luis winning in a single clash. And not only this one. They all ended the same way.
In the end, Luis won the competition. 
Many of the spectators remained surprised at the strength of this new marine. There are not many that are so strong and yet so young.
' He will become someone important before long. He is already so strong. As soon as he learns haki he will become really strong. ' was the thought of many.
Without any suspense, Luis got accepted in the Elite Camp along with a few others. 
Everyone started leaving.
And right before leaving Zephyr said to the 2 next to him: "He will become a pillar of the Marine. I will personally train him. Afterwards, I will try to get him a good Devil Fruit. With this, he has the potential to become an Admiral." 
"Arara, I'm looking forward to it Z-sensei." Said Aokiji 
"Good. Strong people are always needed to fight those damned pirates." Said Strawberry

_________________________________________________
 I would like to note to everyone that while this story is a Fanfiction, it will only be so until the protagonist reaches Godhood. At that point I tried to create an unexpected twist, making it so that from there on it will be original.
Surely by reading the prologue you will get an idea of what I mean.

Summer's pov 

"You did't mean it,"he said darkly.

"I am afraid that I did,"I said with fake sympathy.

"So, you didn't felt anything when I kissed you,right?"he asked again in a husky voice.

"N--o,"I replied while stuttering.

"Now?"
His lips were now on my cheeks. Softly and slowly biting them.

"No,"I softly whispered.

"Now?"now it was on my neck softly kissing and biting.

"Ahh,"I moaned softly.

"Still denying??!huh,"he said with a smirk.

Then he suddenly started deeply kissing me on the neck and then he sucked on my sweet-spot. I was a moaning mess right now, again.

"Found it,"he said against my neck smilingly.

Then bite my neck hardly and I screamed.

"Are you still gonna deny,Baby?"

It was hard for me now to stop myself from kissing him.

So,I did the most unexpected thing and kissed him on his lips.

He was frozen for a moment but quickly gained his conscious and started kissing me hungrily and deeply. After breaking the kiss he rested his forehead on my forehead.

"Umm, strawberry is my new favorite flavor from now,"he said looking at me intensely with a hint of mischief in his eyes and after few seconds I remember that today I used my strawberry shampoo and body wash. Even my lipblam contained strawberry.

I am sure that I was a tomato by now.

He let out a sexy chuckle and said,"you are too innocent for the world,baby." after saying that he went out but not before giving me a lingering kiss on the lips.
