The sunlight from between the curtain wakes him up. After getting ready he wait for Adam near the stairs. Elena walks quickly to him with a naughty smile.
"Hey V! Waiting for someone?", she knows Vyrut don't like that.
He sighed. ' Whats wrong with her', he thinks as he turned his head to her.
"Stop that", he said annoyingly.
"Why should I?", From the corner of her eyes she can see Adam walks to them with an unknown girl.
"Good morning Vyrut. Elena", Vyrut replied with a smile.
"Who's she Adam?", she look at Elena.
"She's Elena. Elena this is my friend Anna", they ate breakfast together before went to the hall.
"Before we start the last test, the man's group please proceed to hall A1 and the girls to hall A2", said the voice from speakers. The candidates just does as told with a confused look. Adam and Vyrut walk together. There's two man standing at the platform when they arrived. Ashera goes to the centre.
"We will start the next test. A genshi manipulation test. Please enter the room when I called out a number", they look at the red door behind him.
An hour passed when about half the people went in but no one goes out. Adam is curious about the test content. Vyrut realize the anxious look on his face.
"Don't worry to much. I know you will pass it"
"Number 280!", Vyrut gets in the room. It's been five minutes when Ashera called the next person.
'Looks like he pass huh'
When it's his turn, he opened the door nervously. The room is completely white that he can't differentiate between the wall and floor. Two judges stand at the left side.
"For this test, you need to show us the most proficient genshi skill you have", said the man in his 40. His black hair is neatly styled. He looks at Adam through his black sunglasses. The other judge in his mid twenties just nods.
Adam readied himself as he imagine the skill his teacher teach.
Vyrut look around with his ruby eyes, searching for Adam near the glass wall. There's 50 people standing in this room. He's been contemplating something since he met him. His eyes caught someone with a flaming red hair that stands in the crowd.
'He's here too huh'
Adam let out a relieved sigh as he walks out the room. He made it! He quickly search Vyrut throughout the room.
"V!", said Adam while waving.
Vyrut look a him with a smile. 'Just as I thought', he's glad Adam managed to pass the final. Now they only need to wait till the badge ceremony.
"How's the test?"
"Piece of cake", for someone like him it was too easy.
"Congratulations to candidates that passed the final test. The ceremony will be held after 2 days"
"Let's buy some food and eat in your room", Adam just nods. He's tired because he used a lot of his genshi just now.
Vyrut take away two chicken rice. Adam scan his room card. Vyrut put the food on the table as he took two set of cutlery. The room is quite big for a single person. It has a kitchen, dining table and a huge television.
Adam took a seat on the sofa after finish eating. Vyrut wash the dishes and hang his grey jacket. He take a seat facing him.
"You should rest a bit"
"What are you gonna do then?"
"I'll be back after I take my book", Adam lay down on the bed. Vyrut ran into Elena on the way.
"Oh? What're you doing in his room?"
"Nothing to do with you. Need something?", he said with irritated tone.
"It's nothing... Did you see him just now?", she said carefully. They haven't talk much since that time.
Vyrut just walk past her without replying. Elena just let out a sigh. Wondering how long this gonna take.
He bring a few books with him. It's three in the afternoon when he closed the book. Adam still sleeping soundly. He take a closer look and cover him with blanket.
'I supposed the genshi consumption is a bit too much for him'
Adam stretch out his arm as he woke up. He take a look around. 'Where's he?' He look at the book left on the table. He must still be here. He goes to wash his face. The front door is being open and closed.
"Up already?", Vyrut look around. Adam pop up from the bathroom door.
"Want to go training a bit? There a training hall here"
"Hmm.. Sure", he need to do something for the remaining two days.
The training hall is located at a seperate building. There's a few people training as well. Vyrut search around for the red head. He let out a relief sigh. They stretch a bit before starting. Adam runs around the training hall a few rounds.
Vyrut teach him the technique he used the other day. Adam connected his arrow with a genshi thread. It's tough to keep the thread in place. He start with an arrows.
"I'll be there if you need anything", he put on quiver on his left arm and the bow sling to his index finger. He took a bow and a few arrows, does a stance and aim to the target. He let go the arrow but it missed.
'Hmm... It look easier when brother did it', his older brother is a bow master and won a lot of competition. He teaches him a bit before but he's more comfortable using his rapier. He starts practicing it since he know he need to learn other skills too.
Thirty minutes passed as he put down the bow. He took a drink that's been prepared and hand over a cup to Adam.
"Thanks", he drinks all of it.
"Are you okay?", he was so focused that he forgot about him.
"It's fine but I only managed to control one arrow", said Adam.
"You will get a hang of it later. Just keep it up"
After resting a bit, they continued. Vyrut wrote down the total of arrow that hit the target on his notebook. The hall light turn orange, the time to used the hall is up.
They walk along with others as the sky turned purple hues. They brought dinner and wash up first.
"Oh... So you're the only child huh"
"Yup. It must be nice to have little brothers or sisters"
"Not really. I have a lot of brother's. The like to joke around and tease me", he said with irritated face. 'Except for him'. He's closer with his older brother.
"Haha. But you still love them right?"
"Well they're my family. I could be your brother if you want", he said jokingly.
"How old are you V?", he looks older than him.
"I'm 17"
"You could be my lil brother. How about try calling me brother?", 'I doubt he Will', he thinks to himself.
"B-brother..", he really said it.
"I was joking. No need to call me like that", he chuckled a bit.
"Ah... Right...", he feel a bit disappointed. Maybe because he always wanted an older siblings, a brother.
Vyrut feel that he step on a landmine. He distinctively touch his hair. What has he done. What should he do now?
He took both the plates and turn on the water. Vyrut turned around, don't know what he's supposed to say. Adam took a seat by the bed and look out the window. Vyrut went to seat beside him.
"Uhh... If you don't mind we can be brother's", he immediately hug him.
"Really? Then can I call you brother?", he said happily.
"B-brother?", he stuttered a bit. He's the youngest in his family so he's not used to someone calling him that.
"I can't?", he looked up with puppy eyes.
"Uhh... sure. You can call me whatever you want", seeing his round Amber eyes makes him unable to turn down his wish. He patted his fluffy black hair.
