General Gavin then left the room with rein and vishan unto his side.
They were headed to a place where there are no much people gathering around. In short they were headed to the unawakened training ground.
It was night and all quiet. There were no annoying sound could be heard, but only the sound of their footsteps as they walked to a plane surface.
Rein gaze at his surroundings, and natures were the only view to be seen.
The flowers were beautifully fluctuating at night while the trees swung along with the wind.
Vishan stopped for a moment when he saw a purplish flower.
He's eyes then widened from astonishment and surprise as he touched the flower gently,
"I... I didn't know flowers could be this beautiful!"
As he was gently touching the flower which looks like a lavender. General Gavin then interrupted him and said,
"Flowers are only for your eyes to see. Its not to be touch by hands."
Without a question vishan then instantly replied,
"So—sorry"
"You don't have to be, let's head to the safer surface first. Where no unknown person could eavesdrop."
Troubled, what general Gavin would say. Rein then thought of a possible topic.
Is it because of the highly-looking kaz Retro that he almost killed? Or is it because he interfered on vishan and retro's fight....
Rein tried to look for a possible solutions to answer general Gavin question, but it was stopped when vishan interfered with a question.
"Uhh... General Gav—Gavin, where are we heading at?"
"Try to guess it."
"Umm we are leaving the palace." Vishan said while pointing at the large gate, just a few fifty meters away from them.
"So it's true."
Baffled, vishan tried to asked desperately.
"Wha—what do you mean by true?? "
"Its true that you are an idiot."
"What do you mean I'm a idiot?!! I'm a 100% genius in our class!"
"Really? Vrekerd said so to me that you are an blockheaded one. "
"It—it wasn't me it was Derek!"
"Hahaha!, 'Now hes back to normal."
Laughing while heading to the unawakened training ground. Rein then punched vishan stomach.
"Aww! What for!?"
"You almost died earlier. If I hadn't been there in time then your muscle head will really got cut in halves, also why did you stood up anyway knowing that you had been paralyzed by his electro punch? Are you really acting tough?"
"...."
"So you knew I got paralyzed by his punch."
"How can't I know? I know in that verge of moment you would fight even to death, yet you are just giving your life to anyone else. "
Without a word to respond vishan mouth were all agape— luckily, General Gavin interfered.
"Now, now, you kids should stop that. Past is past, you can't change what happened no matter what you will do. You can only change your future. So you two should try to get along."
"Fine."
With a saddened face vishan then replied to rein,
"I'm—I'm very sorry.I was reckless... reckless enough to get myself be killed...."
"Yeah you were!—"
"But I was reckless because—because I know you were there to lend me a hand. "
"...."
Rein was baffled about what he would reply. He don't know what to say, knowing that vishan were really giving him all his trust.
Suddenly General Gavin shouted,
"Now we are here!"
With a shocked expression general Gavin gazed at the surrounding surface with full of amazement.
As he gazed at the two unawakened students besides him. They were all
"gloomy"?
"Hey! Why are the two of you all dark and gloomy?"
With a gloomy face, Rein and Vishan then replied instantly,
"This place being some dark emotions and dark memories."
"I'm—I'm tired of this place! There are only sand and wooden dummies around!"
"You forgot the wooden bench though."
"Oh and the wooden bench!"
They were happily conversing about how ugly the surroundings could be. It was like an debate. General Gavin were the affirmative while the rein and vishan were the negative.
Time passed quickly along when they talked until the large bell on the top of the Palace clang.
"So the party has started?" General Gavin muttered.
"Seems so."
"Ahh then you.... Wait what's your name again? "
"I Thought you knew... It's vishan. "
"Oh vishan! You should leave first. "
"To where?"
"You need to attend the party. You unawakened will be awarded by the King of premians. "
"Awarded? Ahh for helping the maidservants arrange and pile the tables? "
"Wha—what are you talking about? You are awarded by subjugating an 10th and 9th star demon boar. It's a large feat so claim your Knight badge. "
"Badge? Isn't the party postponed because of our fight? Also i managed to destroyed some tables, will it be really okay?"
"Yes, yes its really okay. Let the Knights and the maidservant take care of it for it is their job. It won't even take five minutes for them to replace it to a much better looking one."
"Then, then, what about rein? Isn't he coming with me?"
"Sure he is, but I still have something important that I needed to talk to him, so you should head back to your room first, and change that lousy, bloodied outfit of yours."
"Oka—okay, then I be heading out first. Just try to catch up to the awarding ceremony rein." vishan said while running; heading out to his room.
†
General Gavin and Rein were the only ones left on the unawakened training ground.
It was quiet. The two of them were not trying to start a conversation.
As rein started to get bored, he started to get nearer from one of the wooden dummies while general Gavin just sat on a bench just near besides him.
The cold night breeze, passed along by, when rein picked up some wooden sword on the ground—he strengthen his composure, then started hitting the wooden training dummy infront of him.
Without a thing to say. Rein just keeps hitting the wooden dummy infront of him. Like he was trying to throw down all his dark emotions into his sword, and pass it into the wooden training dummy.
As he was confused why General Gavin is gazing at him with a stern look. He tried to stopped for a second and asked,
"What? Are my stances and my techniques wrong?"
"No, no, no. I'm not thinking something about that, it's just that you are trying to make the wooden dummy a thing to vent your anger. "
"Sorry about that, as you can see, I—I'm just a person who always tries to hide their feelings and emotions, also this is the first time that I had did this, and my feelings started to get light everytime I hit the wooden dummies."
"Oh, sure it will. You were slashing it in bits and pieces, and then you move to a better another one. "
"Hahaha, sorry about that. "
The two of then laughed together. Rein face were widened as he laughed hysterically, while general Gavin face were still mysterious. The only thing that rein could see upon his face were his blue mask and his naturally tired expression like general vrekerd.
In a sudden moment, general Gavin stopped laughing. He was deadly silent, Rein now knew that his emotion had change.
In a few seconds of thought General Gavin then decided to speak,
"...."
"Though, this may be a rude side of me but—Rein, are you aware of how strong your power is?"
"Power?"
