On the peak of mount Ou Dong lies the teachers and their teammate all together once more before their parting. Everyone all gets to bid each other farewell before their teacher takes them to fulfill their mission.
"Goodbye I'll miss you"
"I'll miss you too"
The sound of students chatters ego for one last time in the hall of Chakava academy. The villagers who used to hate and curse at the chatter now beginning their longing for there used to be a noisy place until it becomes silent all of a sudden.
"AH! Mayu" "Yuma!" the two boys of the same age one dress in vermillion clothing and the other in gold, it seems that they are close friends.
"I'm looking forward to working with you, but God knows what happens to my fate, What did it I do to end up naming after a chicken soup?" Yumari with a vain poping on his neck having a flashback about yesterday
"So I heard....., I am quite sad too, Yuma, but let forget about this naming business you are lucky to end up with master Ma Hong he is one of the strongest teachers in our school, I bet you will get a lot of experience having him as your mentor, and besides, we can work together in other projects when we finish our mission, don't worry my teammate next time will be you" Mayu consoling seem to be working because now Yumari give him a crook smile
"Yeah, but don't hold me down ok?"
"You bastard, one minute you are piss and now getting cocky"
"BROTHEERRRRR! I going to miss you"
Suddenly a girl who looks to be younger than both of them has entered the scene, she grabs and hugs Mayu arm with a big smile on her face. Mayu turns his attention to her and the atmosphere around him started to change too
"Mayura, focus on your mission and don't be a burden to your teammate ok? also don't lose your coat because it'll get cold at night and eat a lot so you get more energy, make sure to eat your vegetable too and shower daily....." As he closes three buttons left open on her shirt
"Yes yes I got it, mother, stop nagging me" then she unbuttons her shirt
"I am not your mother, I am your big brother" he corrects himself and continues his nagging
"Say, brother, Can you do me a favor? Switch with me pretty please?"
"Mayura you know we can't switch team, right? Why do you want to switch anyway?"
"Oh you know because er....." Form the way she speaks Mayu can sense instantly what she meant
"OH, I get it now.... WHICH BASTARD IS IT THIS TIME?" his aura switch from a noble youth to an almost scary maniac
As you guys can see this the Gurada sibling. Mayu is the only eldest son and he is friends with Yumari since they were just little kids. Mayara aka " The unreachable goddess" is Mayu one and only younger sister. The reason why she is called the goddess because she and Lotus are the only female students who hold the most beauty in school. Her look is beyond comparing and she got everyone's waifu personality both cute and charming at the same time. As for, the unreachable part is because of her brother. Mayu will capture and murder anyone who dares to flirt with his sister if he sees them. That is why attractive as she is boys will have to go through her brother's death trial.
"No, jessss brother forget about it, I'll get going now" she let with a disappointment on her face
"Wait come back! you forgot to button your shirt" he followed after her
"Now teacher comes forth, you may fetch the scroll for your team" The headmaster's assistance place 12 scrolls on the table each with a picture of the 12 animals imprinting on it. Teachers go get the scroll with the picture they are familiar with and head back to their team to getting ready to leave in their separate way.
.......
"Snow rabbit scroll: In the land where no human lied in a forest with ongoing guest, find an old man with a turtle stamp in the mid of thee highest land"
"Master what do you think this meant" a student as master Rahu.
"Take a guest Lotus" Master Rahu smirk and look at all of his young teammates
"If my guest was right I think we need to travel up North toward a village that faced a massacre a long time ago because there aren't human there"
"Good you get the first part how about the second?" no one answer so master Rahu pull out a fan from nowhere and continue his speech
" Do you know why this village go through a massacre?"
"Yes I read about this once, it because of the creature call the Ba Rat" Lotus seem to remember the story which related to that village from the document inside the library
"That good enough let travel up North and I'll tell you the rest of the story on the way"
"Tsk" Ream clicks his tongue as he stared at his mentor in the face. In fact, he stared at master Ruha with the same savage looks all this time. Master Rahu seems to notice it too, but he doesn't utter a word and only smirk at him.
This is Ream the young lord of the Naga clan is he also known as the "The Royal Rebel". For his handsomely attractive appearance and the fact that he is the son of the lord Naga clan who holds a lot of treasure estimated as rich as the royal even richer for that people name him The Royal. However, due to his cunning nature thus earning himself another name the "The Rebel". Ream is the master of cheating, he would use many cunning and creative way to cheat, for almost his school year he was never caught cheating even once, well until master Rahu shows up, but before, Ream is like the Royal of the rebel in the school, He will spread the question and answer to all the student who seeks his help and in return, they will have to pay him a fortune and become his followers. As time goes by Ream would gain a lot of money and sneak out every night to the base of the mountain doing god knows what. He may look like a royal prince from every girl's dream, he is anything, but a royal. That guy got a foul mouth, calling other people names and he would go on and on instructing his followers the torture and bullied the other, his bad deed is undeniable, but once again no teacher can catch him in the act. It seems that his first strike for cheating gets him to become the bottom of his class and now he is really pissed.
..........
On their journey up north master, Rahu would explain many things to his students, however, only two are impressed while the other three, one followed emotionless, one continues to look pissed and the last one doesn't even listen and keeps on reaching for food in her bag. Luckily the village up north is near Ou dong mountain, it should take them half a day if they use transportation.
At last, they have arrived, it is noon now and all of them are very tired and hungry, they haven't arrived at the village yet because they are traveling by foot, due to master Ruha speech about the "Morning Exercise". The team finds a town to stay in and rest. They find a restaurant in an unfamiliar town seemingly the town is newly created and there not many people around. The owner of the restaurant is an old lady, she looks very happy upon seeing the young lord and lady arrival.
"Oh my my where did this gentleman and his little companions travel too? such a hot day, come come let me serve you some tea"
"Thank you, madam, we travel from the village near here"
"Oh my Oh my such young companions too, come in, sit down and I'll serve you to your comfort"
As the nice old lady serves her customer one by one she sees Chan, and at that moment her face widens, she becomes even happier than she is before. "Oh my Oh my what a lovely little surprise" she walks away not saying anything but a big smile on her face
"A Ching come to serve our guest"
"Yes mother"
The youthful lady has arrived at their table, she looks very happy as well
"How may I serve you, sir?"
"I'll have just a cup of tea please"
"Oh, my sir has mother not mention it? Today is a very special day it the anniversary of our opening day all the food you desire is on the house"
"Then I'll have a golden chick please" Tachi hearing the news got so excited and place her order right away
"One golden chick coming up"
The lady walks away not hearing master Rahu nagging Tachi and into the kitchen. a moment later she and her mother come out with a big bowl of chicken soup already prepared and place it on the table, when she opens up the lid the delicious smell spread all around making everyone in the restaurant drooling with hunger. Then the two ladies started to serve the team with sincerity
"Oh my little brother you are so skinny come eat more let big sis serve you" the daughter fill Chan bowl with the delicious soup and feed it to him, her hand nearly remove Chan bandage before another hand stop her
"Thank you big sis that I very kind of you, but we'll take it from here"
Mayu stop the daughter hand just in time and politely thanks hers, the lady see the look on his face then back away, but the smile on her face haven't fainted
"What holds you back gentleman? Why haven't you eating it yet?"
"Madam as much as we love it this chicken soup reminds me of an old friend of mine and I would like to take little time to pray for his soul"
"Have your friend passed away long?"
"No, just recently" master Rahu replied without a fail smile on his face
"Oh I see, I'll go help my husband then"
The two ladies return to the kitchen, leaving master Rahu and his team to enjoy their meal. The students are tired and hungry with a big bowl of chicken soup in front of them no one can stop them now until their master stop them mumblings about "Respect" and stuff and in the end they all end up eating the red bean buns he prepared, while the master himself put away the chicken soup. Now, Tachi and Ream look the most pissed off. The husband walking toward master Rahu table and greeted him and his team
"Good noon everyone do you enjoy your meal?"
"Ah yes sir the food is to our delight"
"Good Good you must be very tired from traveling why don't you rest here for a while"
Master Rahu almost refuse the invitation, but he wouldn't dare as he noticed his team murderous intention, as if he will turn into a chicken soup if he said no one more time
"Yes that a good idea thank you for letting us stay"
The man delightful at what he heard then sent his daughter to prepare the room for them on the first floor of the restaurant. The team prepared themselves then heading to their room. When their head hid the soft pillow they feel their body weight and fall asleep. Everyone rest except their teacher.
"Rest well, I hope you are ready for tonight student"
