Hey...! austin, austin to earth, why are u spacing out like that?

ahamm...it felt as if i heard it before,

really? they must be great people then, huh?

the one who told you that it shows how much they value the relations and people around them dont you think so? not knowing the familiarity he nodded with a childish smile, mean while oliver was called on to the battle feild, diverted to the fight they leave their words unspoken...Oliver is 23, son of second rank mage named zhang wei, the opponent approches oliver as the fight beguns oliver moves along waiting for him to attack the moment his opponent attacks he defend himself and give back a counter attack in the next blink the fight get too intense for a second it was like he would loose but as time moved the 2nd half was to start oliver takes lead and gives his opponent a killing attack wins by finishing it, on his return everyone cheer him, are alright with a worried tone said, ava... emma and evelyn encouraged him, as for the guys they were brushing his hairs and hugged him with silly smiles in the air as he walks away...that was one tricky way to play, good fight oliver said luna, he smiled and moves his way on. in the gap of next match "spirits war" the team discuss whom to lead, they talk about the spirit powers when luna interups who is our opponent? shouldn't we plan against their powers than comparing ourselves? luna is correct said lee, their power is fire member so shouldn't we use ice? well Ashley will be up but looking towards her hesitation luna suggest "nope lets send ava isnt she earth power she can put off fire with sand attacks, her sunkin sand attack must be good enough to put out the fire as well as drown the opponent in a pool of sand" what say? with a surprised expression everyone stood quietly...sam speaks his mind luna how do you know her attack? yeah its not like you guys know each other, do you ava? i dont know her we just met like you all said ava, may be its the mask that cant understand who it is said emma, can you show us yourself remove the mask said Ashley, before she could use an excuse oliver returns breaking tbe suspense, its easy to identify attacks once you get to know the power, may be thats how she knows... yeah with a hesitation she reply's, before others could question back the match begun and ava was called 1st, as luna explain ava defended and attacked with sunkin sand attack, when everyone were busy cheering ava..! austin and lee looked towards luna thats weird why do i get a familiar feeling about her? mee to said lee, forwardon they keep a close watch on her. Meanwhile ava wins the match and says thank you luna, its all you, your power's was good enough to defeat them ava smiled back as luna Complimented her, lee and austin look suspiciously toward luna as if they were on to some thing... with more going on, it was the final stage "rampage". As usual fights the team forms an attack circle as the match begun they move forward in attack circle form as they walked ahead luna felt left out yet she walked with lee and in the secounds after match started they walked towards "Necrosis" a semi demon in form of zombie, its strong against physical attacks and weak against magic so austin advice the team to use magic to send it back to its grave, sm teleported everyone high and low to attack the monster, being sages flying was easy butas flying also reduces the manna luna advices to take help of sam for high grounds attacks at the end they defeat "necrosis". They taught everything was done thats when they sense a strong wind gust heading towards them, they look around but nothing to be found and suddenly a loud voice approach them oliver looks and point towards the sky and say " Gr.. grp.. its Gryphon", austin looks at luna, runs towards her and yells out loud everyone take shelter no one should be in the open feild they run towards the forest shelter themselves under the huge trees, where luna is pushed to the trunk of the tree and austin covers her over, breath they exhale brushes each other cheeks looking deeply in to austin eyes luna turns red, with the heavy gust wind around suddenly a branch cracks open and falls up austin, luna pulls him closer to escape the crash and accidentally austin lips rub on luna's lip making lee the witness they stood there shockingly...luna runs in to the open leaving austin behind...watchout yells lee, listening to it austin runs towards luna to protect her they attract gryphon up on them as it approch to fetch them both oliver yells... sam teleport them to a safe place and evelyn attack it with your wain web, as they get teleported oliver takes the lead to command and defeat it with help of lee rock attack. After getting teleport luna lands on austin where they accidentally kiss each other leaving emma as witness this time, luna makes a quick move and gets away from austin as other teammates approach.

"Are you fine austin said, ashley"..! it was a reckless of you luna to run into open feild, lee smiled silly as luna kept standing with hesitation,austin changed the topic to cut the awkwardness and they walk ahead with silence growing up luna keeps looking at austin and looks away as he looks back they steal their eyes from eachother as if they had so much to ask and talk about, it leaves a suspicious taught "arnt they acting weird said sam", lee smiles your still kid... kiddo, emma walks towards lee "hey..! did u see something that you shouldn't she said", what do you mean? ok don't freak out on what am about to say... oooohhhk..!, i saw them kissing lee laughed emma completes by saying it was when they teleported...whaaaat..? that happened too... shhhh... ssshhhh..! we both will be dead if ashley finds out about this...what, why would she do that for?? huh..! beats me... said emma, as they decided to stay quiet they walk onto the snow field encountering a snow beast before they could react the beast attacks and evelyn feets get stuck and froze up emma helps evelyn with the fire flame but before they could recover the beast attacks again in a confuesd taught don't know that to doaustin palns to attack back but they fall weak compared to the beast with worries in head they seek shelter to hide from the beast thats when luna scans the beast to know it level and surprisingly the beast level is on 8, hero sages could only defeat them she soon lets the team know, with so many questions austin askes oliver to inform the high authorities to check with any malpractice is done in the program and recheck with luna can you find any weakness, its way to strong for us said ashley, normally it uses its body to target the opponent and causes a great danger to them looking at its level i suggest to escape and run out listening to her luna responds with a harsh tone "never" if its that easy to give up you shouldn't have applied to begin with looking towards luna everyone cheer themself to fight back till the last one and attack as expected fighting level 8 monster was a suicide case to the sage of beginner's level , with one roll the beast took down the team and the danger awaits upon them, thats when luna decides to fight solo and advice sam to teleport the team and ask lee to build 4 blocked wall between them and the beast austin insisted on staying with her, next time we fight together for now your work is done till here now rest well leader said, luna. Before he could tell anything sam teleport them to safer high grounds from there they looked towards luna wishing her safe returns, with the confusion in the air how will she win that beast all alone its level 8 we couldn't do it as a team how will she do it and why is lee building a wall between us said ashley, with so many questions and nill answers they look towards the battle feild. Meanwhile the hight authorities send the hero sages for their rescue its was just few distance away luna slices the snow beast in to two with the wind slice attack and wins the battle to escape the attack which was so strong the hero sages fly high as for sam he gets the answer after seeing the wall split in to two that it was build as a sheild to protect us from her attack with joy and confusion they enjoyed the evening dawn and with that our crystal hunt comes to and end.
