In the same spacious and dark room.
Two persons are sparring with each other again.
"You got stronger boy. I hope for the day when you will defeat me."
"I also look forward to it".
The man and boy continued sparring, the boy having the disadvantage since there was barely any light in the room.
"You need to sharpen your senses even in the dark".
"Okay."
The two fought until midnight. It was then the boy went to his home, bruises covering his shoulders. But even though it's like that, he still had a smile on his face, clearly happy with his progress.

It is the second week of July, and the students of Rubando School are celebrating the Healthy Diet Week.
The school held a short program and the occasion is quite lively. There are some parlor games and and many more. The event was led by the student council and the science club.
While the event is going on well, Jay and Bren are just sitting in their room, with Jay closing his eyes and Bren chattering nonstop without a care if his friend is listening or not.
"This Healthy Diet Week is so boring actually. The only good thing is that classes are paused due to this event. Haysss", Bren finally spoke and sighed.
"What time is it?" asked Jay.
"Oh, it's nearing lunch."
The only thing going on in the minds of the two is the free lunch offered by the school because of the event. Since it is Healthy Diet Week, the foods to be served are rice, vegetables and meat. All in all, it's quite a healthy meal.
In the gymnasium, Natalie and Mark participated in the eating-the-apple contest, while blindfolded. The rest of the Aquarius section cheered for them. The time started and all the participants of each sections started munching on their apples. Natalie, who is quick, almost choked herself but quickly regained her composure and continued her assault.
Bren who saw this with Jay laughed out loud.
The game ended with the Aquarius section landing third place.
Overall, the event was a happy one, and it is time for lunch.
All students are lined up in four lines in all, while waiting for their served meal.
Bren and Jay are both in the last part of a line. While waiting, they saw Tyson and his group inserted themselves in the middle of the line, making their line longer.
Bren who saw this was irritated.
"Watch your place damn asshole!" Bren shouted at Tyson.
Tyson, hearing Bren, turned around. "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes you! Who else could it be?!" Jay couldn't help it and held Bren's shoulders to calm him down. Even he was annoyed at Tyson, but still kept quiet.
Tyson only smiled evilly and just ignored Bren. For him, Bren is nothing in his eyes. He also chose to not cause a commotion since there are teachers around.
"Fuck him and his ancestors", Bren muttered quite loud and Jay could only shake his head helplessly.
"Damn it. I feel like I don't have the appetite to eat anymore", Bren spoke angrily after he saw Tyson and his group walked away, holding their served food.
"Tsk!"
While nearing the foods, Bren saw someone. Immediately, a smile crept up on his face. Jay noticed this and looked to the direction of his sight. There he saw a girl, a girl he knows.
She is Charlene Gregorio, a girl from Libra section and a member of the Literature club, so it's natural Jay knows her.
"That girl, don't tell me you're into her?"
Bren snapped out of his fantasy and whispered to Jay, "You may not believe me, but I actually like her. We just had our first conversation yesterday, and I actually fell in love. Hihihihi", Bren said cheekily.
Jay who saw Bren's change of mood because of a girl just shook his head helplessly.
'Such things...haysssss...I don't really care.....'
