Chereads / The heroes of Delijah / Chapter 21 - TRAINING DAY

Chapter 21 - TRAINING DAY

Jason's parents were in the living room, sitting on the couch. Edna's head resting on Gareth's shoulders. She held a glass up straight to her lips and took a sip from the wine and dropped it on the table. Jason sat with Ivy in the living room too, they sat on a soft pouch adjacent to the couch Edna and Gareth sat on."Listen Jason, we think that the fact that you have powers is not a good idea. It's too dangerous for you guys. I'm sorry, but you have to stop with the whole superhero trash. It's all nonsense."Edna said and took another sip. She looked depressed and a little desperate."You've got to be kidding Mom. I can't give up being a superhero... plus training is today."Jason said before Ivy cut him short."Did you just say, Today is training?!"Ivy asked and the goddess of Delijah appeared."Your time is up... time to train!"she said and they(Jason and Ivy) disappeared with her."Ahhhhh! My babies! They're gone!"Edna said and began to sob with her head buried in her palms.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"Jason and Ivy screamed as they fell into a huge portal-like swirl of colours.

THUD!

They landed on a hard, sandy, but pink ground.

"What is this place?"Jason asked dusting off pink sand from his pants. Even his boots were dusty. Ivy's white boots had automatically transformed pink from the sand."Nice fashion colour."Ivy said staring at her new... well pink shoes."So... is this the training centre? A garden?"Jason asked staring at the weird looking birds. They had a lady's eye, and a red beak...and a human's nose."No... This is the Sacred garden of the forefathers of Delijah. Follow me to your training point. They followed the beautiful blue haired goddess into an enclosed corner. Suddenly, they disappeared and appeared in a temple-like Dojo. She led them to a tower and they climbed invisible stairs and found themselves in a room with two beds."This is going to be your room."Cyril, the goddess said and flew out and disappeared in sparkles."So this is it. The beginning of our training. We start from here."Jason said as he examined the beds to check if they were soft. Soon, a horn was blown.

[Report to training centre for your first training lesson]

A voice called with a megaphone.

Jason and Ivy ran to the temple-like Dojo."Whoa!"Jason said with an amazed look on his face. It looked different from how it did 10 minutes ago. Now it looked like those Dojos he saw in movies."This is the best day of my life!"Jason said with a wide smile on his face. Ivy had never seen his excited face before. "Welcome, to the all new Dojo of Delijah!"A voice said . Within seconds, a man jumped down from a tall building that no one would notice. Jason and Ivy felt really awkward since they were the only humans there."... I'm really not as excited as before. I mean look at those guys. We're the only humans here."Ivy said clutching Jason's hand to herself and stepping closer."Relax, how be

bad could this guys be?"Jason said."Humans... You pathetic humans don't stand a chance against 'The Rumps!'So just quit"A voice said. It was Salegh, The leader of The Rumps."Why do they always have to use Delijah in every sentence."Ivy asked. But Jason wasn't listening."Did he say we should quit? Does this mean our training is a tournament?!"Jason asked with surprise. That was when Cyril appeared with a man."Oops. Sorry about that. I accidentally posted you here. Come with me."She said and they all disappeared."This is Quin Chuan. He'll be your trainer. He's the one I said about earlier."Cyril said and disappeared."Jason and Ivy... It's a pleasure to meet you."Quin said."How do you know our names?"Jason asked staring at his hair... his black, long hair, packed in a ponytail."Cyril told me about you."He said."Right."Jason said."If you want to train so bad, you have to get new training suits."Quin said and brought out a basket full of clothes."Put these on"Quin said. Soon they were wearing their new training suits."These are really tight. But I love the Dragons on it."Ivy said and admired her new suit."The training starts now."Quin said and soon a huge masculine figure appeared."Are you ready to feel the pain of training?!"He said.
