"This...is a storage again! What the f..."
[Calm down, it not storage. Now, let Hibiscus stand in the middle.]
"Hibiscus, please stand there." Zi Zen point to the middle.
"Sure? So what now?" Hibiscus ask
[Think of your home]
"Think of your home"
"Ok"
Instantly, the whole interior start to transform. Tree, plant, soil and many more start to fly in from the storage train car. Slowly, they form into a forest. Well, not that Zi Zen can see well from outside with the leaves and stuff blocking his view while the thing fly from storage into train car 02.
From the inside Hibiscus shout "Wow, so amazing. What a amazing magic. Look, tree house. Exactly like what I have back home."
Then, Hibiscus jump to Zi Zen leg and hug it from the one of the tree in the forest train car. She say "Thank you."
"You are welcome. But why you like to hug my leg?"
"Then, can I sit on your shoulder?"
"No"
"In your pocket?
"This cloth has no pocket. I didn't make one."
"No, can't you fly or something?"
"I cannot fly, I not a fairy. I only can climb, jump and run." Hibiscus say while she start climbing his leg.
"....Kinesis"
Hibiscus fell something grab her. "So you let me sit on your shoulder. Hehe" She didn't resist and just let something grab her until she realise Zi Zen is not using his hand. She floating.
"Ahhhhhh, help me" she start to scream
"Calm down, it my skill" Zi Zen say.
Hibiscus floating beside Zi Zen. Then, together they walk into the train head.
"I wanna to ask but not sure whether i should ask or not."
"Say then"
"Can you please don't grab me too hard. I feel like getting crush here."
"Hmm, one moment." Zi Zen grab a big leaf from nearby tree. Then, put Hibiscus on it. Then, he use kinesis to keep the leaf in place.
Now, it look like Hibisucs is riding a leaf and fly beside Zi Zen.
They walk inside the train head and to the control panel chair.
"Where the tree?"
"It the biggest tree in this area. From here, you go right and just straight. After few hours, you will see it. It just you can't see it due to the tree are blocking it. "
"Ok" Zi Zen reply. Well this sidetrip better be worth it. Well Tutu is being taken care off so I don't have to rush. This mean I can have time to do farm for crystal, familirise with my skill and try to understand more on this train. Hmm. Now the problem is how to defeat the dragon. Chock it with soil?
Wait, can't I use the method I use when I being test? I have wood, but no chain and hook. However, launcher can be can be substituted by my kinesis skill. Wait, I don't have the strength to do it. Hmm, how?
Zi Zen speak to the train [Hey, you heard her. Move it]
The train still stop.
[What with the tone!]
[You have not explain yet why the treatment between me and her so different?]
[What you mean, I treat everyone the same]
[Yeah right, but reality is different. Until now, where my personal train car? Not even few minutes pass after join, Hibiscus get her train car. Me? I have to sleep in the train head for few days. She get a house, but not me. House? I sleep on the floor only layered with animal fur. And that I hunt it myself.]
"Why you getting angry? Did I do something wrong?" Hibiscus ask.
"No, nothing."
[You better explain]
[Well I can't let such a cutie to sleep on the floor. You on the other hand can just sleep on the floor. Ha, ha, ha.]
----------
Few hour later
The train is moving slowly than usual but aside from that, nothing happen. Nothing. No monster or animal pass by, not even a single word was speak. Hibiscus is not use to this ackward silence. Even though the train is moving, no sound is being heard by other than people in this train due to the effect of stealth.
Hibiscus keep on thinking is it appropriate for her to start speak first or should she wait he start first.
On the other hand, Zi Zen is busy training his kinesis and water manipulation after the stingy train decide to compensate him with a new skill call enhance sense. This skill allow enhance one of his sense, so he choose to enhance his sense of touch. Why only sense of touch? Because this skill only allow to enhance only one sense at a time.
"Are you fine, errr mi~~~ster?"
"Urgh, am I look that old to you?"
"Ahh, nonono you look mature to me. Hehe" Hibiscus put her best smile to Zi Zen (I speak without thinking again, almost make him angry. Dummy me).
"I fine, no need to worry about me."
"But you puke just now"
"....Just forget the incident just now."
"Ahh, sorryyyyyy" Hibiscus jump away from Zi Zen seat and land on the other seat . Then she stare at the train panel.
Haih, so good to be carefree. And I here dealing with this stupid scammer. If I want to enhance other sense, I have to purchase more enhance sense skill which cost 1000 crystal per skill. And what got me mad was not only the price that ripped me off, is that I currently only able to use one at a time. Just now I try to activate all of the enhance sense (Touch, Sight, Hearing, Smell, Taste) at the same time time. Oh, how I regret it. This happen few minutes ago.
The instant I activate all the enhance sense, my eye go super vision like binocular plus HD. My ear bombard by the sound of wheel turning and smoke puffing. The black pungent smell of smoke from the furnace assault my nose. Even the shaking that I hardly feel before this was like magnitude 10.0 earthquake. And the worse that I experience was due to the sudden changes, I feel like puking. I ran to the window which was just few step away, but as I activate all enhance sense it, I fell down face first, blood coming out of my nose and slam to the window edge when I get back up. Then, I puke. The result, my face feel like get prick by thousand needle, my body hit by truck, smell of blood and the bile so strong making me almost pass out. All this just happen within 30 second but for me, it fell like eternality. What a great lesson I learn today. Don't be stupid and greedy.
Now I just training to adapt my enhance sense of touch first. At the beginning I try to adapt to my normal sense of touch, then enchance sense of touch. After that I use kinesis without enchance to get the feel. Finally, it kinesis with enchance sense. It took me quite skme time before I finally get rid if the overwhelming feeling where shaking feel like earthquake. Now, I trying to feel an object depending on the touch. The ground, leaves, the tree branches. Hmm, this feel different, feel like some animal. Rabbit. Food.
[Stop]
The train come to halt in just few second. Then, it remain hovering.
"Now" Zi Zen say out without him realising. He too focus on the animal that is still drinking beside the pond. All the kinesis power is gather around the animal. It realise something is tightening around it and try to struggle free but it too late. With a nice twist on the head. It dead. Then, it carry over to Zi Zen..
Hibiscus who is daydreaming suddenly shock awake by Zi Zen. She still blur see a dead rabbit with head twisted come flying at a distance. "Ahh, vengeful rabbit come for revenge "
"Relax, it just dinner."
"That it? No vegetables or fruit?"
"No, I not familiar with this forest nor I know which is edible or which is not."
With smug face "Leave it to me"
Hibiscus jump down from the train. After a few steps, she turn around and say "Don't leave me behind." She hasten her step to the nearest bush and start dancing. Look closely, from how it seem, Zi Zen feel it closely resemble how Hawaii people dance.
The bush mysterious stood up follow by Hibiscus jump on top of the bush and they take off running. I guess? Slowly they disappear into the distance.
"..." Should I switch to my enhance eye? But I not used to it yet. Should I follow her by foot then? Too dangerous especially at this forest. But she going alone more dangerous. Nah, she live in this forest and she doing well before meeting me. How could there be any problems?
Zi Zen sit back down at the chair. I know, I will have the train to follow her.
[Hey, follow her.]
[The area she is in now have heavy vegetation. It still get me stuck. I don't want.]
[...]
"Fine, I will go myself." Just bring this knife just in case.
-----
"Ahhh, berry. I just take as much as I can carry." The bush help carry by forming a bowl make of leaf and Hibiscus fill the bowl with berry.
Rustle, rustle. Hibiscus quickly stop collecting the berry and hide inside the walking bush. A brown bear emerge from the overgrown near her. The bear sniff around and then move towards the bush where Hibiscus is currently in.
"!!!" The bowl of berry is being exposed. She forget to hide it. It getting closer and closer until it just right in front of the bowl of berry. Hibiscus know she in danger as she just right beneath the bowl in the bush. One munch from the bear is enough to send the bowl of berry and her to the bear stomach.
The bear slowly lower it head and proceed to open it mouth. Right at this moment, Hibiscus make that bush aside. The bear munch on empty air. The bear look confused but it just proceed to munch again. Hibiscus again make that bush aside and it bear munch on nothing again. This time the bear, put both it leg on between the bush. Hibiscus in danger as it couldn't fool the bear anymore. She nearly cry out loud but manage to withhold it. Right at the moment the bear put it face near the bowl. Some force smack the entire bowl of berry on the bear face. The berry juice spill out and get into the bear eye. It roar in pain.
"Yes got it" Now to grab Hibiscus and get back to the train. D*mn, I can't find and grab her with the bush in the way. I still inexperience in my control. If I try to focus it will waste too much time. No other choice expect this.
"Before it recover"
Zi Zen run to the bush and start finding Hibiscus in it. Hibiscus is found unharm but frozen in place.She is immediately grab away. He run as fast as he can back to the train.
[Open the door and prepare to close as soon as I get in.]
[Sure]
[Start moving as well in low speed and shift to top speed as soon as I say so.]
"Roarrrrr" The bear recover it vision and it very angry. It look around and spot Zi Zen running away. It starts to chase him down.
"D*mn, it coming" Zi Zen try plucking leaf and snapping branches with it kinesis which then throw toward the oncoming bear hoping to slow it down. The bear was unfazed by leaf nor branches and still charge like mad beast. Seeing that it doesn't work, he try to control water and wet the forest floor creating puddle of water. Well, it does slow a bit but not too much. Arrr, I know. This will do it.
Zi Zen start running stray off from it path and the bear as expected chase after him. A few water screen appear behind Zi Zen. The bear run through the water screen not even slowing down. Thought the real purpose is for it to not notice something. He run for a while then stop in front a tree. A bunch of sand and soil being pick up by kinesis skill is being throw directly at the eye of the bear temporary blinding it. Right before it run through another water screen. He then concentrate to create a ball of water as big as the bear head. The bear blinded by the sand, crash into the tree. Right at this moment, the ball of water engulf the bear head.
"Hahaha, how you like that? Better catch your breath while you can. That if you can! Hahaha."Zi Zen then proceed to the train and get on.
[Full speed]
[Sure]
