บท 191: Oli vs Jonon, Round 2

Pacing back and forth, Jonon was more impatient than ever. His typical calmness was gone and nowhere to be found. He walked back and forth within the confines of his large classroom building. 

"Why are you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous, I'm excited!" laughed Jonon. "But what's taking Pops so long…"

"We'll just have to wait a bit longer than expected. What's the big deal, Jonon?" joked Keldon.

Not far from those two were Oli and Vloz, both seated and patiently waiting. Vloz chuckled at the banter between the enthusiastic swordsman and the curious merchant while Oli had closed his eyes to mentally prepare. "Just relax and let go. Right now is your chance to best test your capabilities before the competition, so make the most of it."

"Thanks, Uncle Vloz."

"You know, you could just call me 'uncle'…"

Chuckling and loosening up a little more, Oli rephrased, "Thanks, Uncle."
