Erasa woke up that morning feeling sad and worried about her mother and her teammates who had been captured by the bandits.
"They nearly killed me, I wonder how the others are doing? My dear guardian angel, if you can hear me, please save my mom, Ethan, and Effuien." Erasa said as she began to weep.
Captain Hiru walked into her room.
"Dad" Erasa said as she wiped her tears.
"Don't worry Erasa, I'll talk with the Dragonlord today and request to complete your mission, I will save your mother and the others so cheer up." Captain Hiru said.
Erasa smiled "I will prepare for school now dad." Erasa said.
Meanwhile, in the Ayenhayze residence, Reis was lost in the deepest abyss of dreamland. Shin was drooling and hugging his pillow tightly and Kyla was… oh here she comes with the pan lids.
"BANG! BANG!! BANG!!!" Kyla banged the pan lids.
"Bring it on Di Devilli! I am prepared!"
Reis jumped from his bed half asleep and attempted to punch Kyla. Kyla blocked with a pan lid and Reis' knuckles cracked. The shock of the pain awakened him.
"Good, one down, one to go" Kyla said as she brought the pan lids close to Shin's ears and bang!
In the next instant, Shin sprang up.
"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!!!" He yelled instinctively.
"Oh, it's just you Kyla" Shin said after completely waking up.
"Honestly, is fighting all boys ever dream about?" Kyla asked.
"Honestly, is romance all girls ever dream about?" Shin retorted.
"Here we go again" Reis sighed as he walked out of the room and closed the door behind.
Reis entered the bathroom and turned on the shower. He let the water flow down his face as memories of the previous day flooded his mind.
"I hope I'm doing the right thing by keeping that secret from Erasa" Reis said with a sigh. After Reis was sure he was completely clean, he towelled himself and came out of the bathroom. He walked to the room and opened the door a crack.
"Good, Kyla isn't around" Reis thought as he entered the room.
"You're done, I guess it's my turn" Shin said as he left the room.
Reis and the others had breakfast, and then Master Jin left for the Rangers HQ. Reis, Kyla and Shin began their walk to Dragon High. Reis looked worried.
"What's bothering you Reis?" Shin asked.
"It's Aurora. I wonder what she is up to this time. And I think I have to apologize to her about yesterday" Reis said.
"Reis…If you apologize to Aurora…I will kill you!" Kyla said as she gave Reis the evil eye.
"Oh it's on now!" Reis said as he gave Kyla the diabolic stare.
"Aiiee! Evil eye vs. diabolic stare, it's another evil eye lollapalooza" Shin said in awe.
Soon they reached Dragon High. They walked along the corridors until they reached their classrooms. They opened the door and walked in. Mistress Kira was not in the classroom.
"Whew, at least I made it early today" Reis sighed.
Kyla and Shin walked to their desks and sat down. Reis walked absent-mindedly towards his desk. He hadn't noticed that Erasa was sitting at his desk. He reached his desk and put his satchel beside it.
"What are you trying to do Reis?" Erasa questioned angrily.
"Oh…uh…umm…sorry, this is the desk I brought to the class yesterday and used so…uh…" Reis stammered.
"Okay, okay, I get it, it's your desk so I will just go and get one for myself" Erasa said as she stood up.
"Don't bother, you can sit here, I will just get another one for myself." Reis said as he walked away.
"Sheesh, her attitude towards me has already changed. I think Aurora has gotten to her already." Reis thought to himself as he walked out of the class.
In a few minutes, Reis returned with another desk. He had no other choice but to sit beside Erasa since the class was full and Aurora wouldn't let him sit on Jared's seat. Reis sat down quietly and removed a book from his satchel. It was a book on the history of the Rangers' guild. He found it interesting and soon he was completely immersed in the book. It however got to a point where the history began to confuse him and he put the book away. At that moment, the bell rang for classes to begin. Reis stared at the door nervously expecting Mistress Kira to come in any second. The door opened and Mistress Kira walked in.
"Good morning class" Mistress Kira greeted.
"Good morning Mistress Kira" Everyone responded.
Mistress Kira walked around the class and finally came to Reis' desk.
"You are early today" she said.
Reis gulped.
"Good job Reis" Mistress Kira complimented.
"Uh…thanks" Reis said with a little uncertainty.
"So class, today we are starting our lessons with elemental control practice. Leave for the field immediately" Mistress Kira informed the class.
"YEE-HAH!" Everyone cheered.
Reis was quite unsure of what she meant by 'elemental control practice' but he followed everyone to the field.
At the field, he ran into Aurora.
"Reis, shouldn't you be in class? Last I checked, you can't control any element" Aurora mocked.
"You couldn't be further from the truth" Reis thought silently.
Erasa walked towards them.
"Hey Aurora! Over here!" Erasa called. "Uh…sorry, am I interrupting something?" Erasa asked.
"Sheesh Erasa, you know better than to suspect anything going on between Reis and I" Aurora said angrily.
"Sorry" Erasa apologized.
Reis silently slipped away when they were not paying attention to him.
Everyone formed a line across the field.
"Great! So each of you will have to demonstrate how far you've improved with your individual elements. Start by showing off your aura!" Mistress Kira ordered.
Everyone took in a deep breath and yelled as loudly as they could as they tried to extend their aura around their bodies. Their auras became visible and each had a distinct colour.
"Whoa! Darak's aura is really impressive!" Reis thought.
He didn't know why but he wanted to see Aurora's aura. It was probably so that he could find something to tease her with but when he saw her aura, he was really astounded, for Aurora's aura was just as intense as Darak's.
"Whoa! That's really impressive for a girl" Reis thought to himself.
Then he noticed Aurora smirking at him.
"Haha! I see she wants to use her power against me" Reis smiled nervously.
"Aurora truly wanted to use her power against Reis and before he knew it, a huge dragon made of water was heading his way. Reis leapt out of the way and somersaulted to evade the water dragon's strike.
"Sheesh, Aurora is so mean!" Reis growled as he evaded subsequent attacks with the complex moves only an experienced swordsman could possess.
Everyone stared at the two of them in awe.
"Aurora! Stop that now!" Mistress Kira ordered.
Aurora dispelled her technique.
"Sorry Mistress Kira" Aurora apologized.
"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to" Mistress Kira said with a look of anger and disappointment in her eyes.
"What?! You want me to apologize to Reis?! I won't do it!" Aurora yelled.
"You will obey me Aurora!" Mistress Kira ordered.
"You can't make me do anything! You're not my mother!" Aurora yelled defiantly.
There were exclamations of shock.
"Honestly Aurora, I knew you despised me from the beginning but…I never thought you were this selfish!" Reis yelled as he stepped between Aurora and Mistress Kira.
"Shut up Reis! Stay out of this!" Aurora yelled back.
"No! You shut up Aurora! Do you think you're the only one that has lost a loved one?!" Reis yelled back.
Aurora was shocked by Reis' reaction.
"You were even lucky to know your parents and Jared! I never knew my parents…not even their names. You are lucky to have grown up around people who love you! I grew up around people who treated me like a plague! The only love I ever knew was that of my grandfather. Even now that I've gained a new family, I still have to deal with the contemptuous looks of everyone in this guild, especially yours, so grow up already and stop acting like a selfish spoilt brat!" Reis yelled.
Then he turned and walked away. Aurora stared at him in shock as tears flowed down her face.
"Reis!" Aurora called.
Reis stopped in his tracks.
"You'll pay for this! I'll make you pay for this if it's the last thing I ever do!" Aurora yelled.
"Fine! But at least apologize first and for the record, the first person you need to apologize to is yourself" Reis said as he headed for class.
Aurora smiled.
"I'm sorry for my ungratefulness Mistress Kira. You're a great mother" Aurora chuckled nervously but she was crying inside.
"I forgive you Aurora" Mistress Kira said with a comforting smile.
Aurora hugged Mistress Kira and burst into tears.
"Hmm, that Reis sure is an interesting person" Mistress Kira thought silently.
Just at that moment, the bell rang for break. Reis decided to stay in class just to avoid any more confrontations. Erasa came in after him.
"Reis" she called.
"Erasa, is there something I can do for you?" Reis asked as he turned around.
Erasa gasped in shock.
"Uh-uh-um…" Erasa stammered speechlessly.
Reis realized why.
"Erasa, I know I have green eyes but I'm not a Guardian Angel or anything of the sort and I certainly do not have dragon powers" Reis said with a smile.
Uncertain about Reis' words, Erasa glanced at his right shoulder and saw the red bandanna around his shoulder.
"Can I see your shoulder Reis?" Erasa asked.
"Uh…um…How do I get out of this one?" Reis thought nervously.
Suddenly, Kyla and Shin walked in.
"Hey Reis, come over here for a minute" Shin called.
"Excuse me Erasa" Reis bowed respectfully and walked away.
"Wow, how convenient for me" Reis sighed in relief.
"You did good out there. Not only did you strike a chord in Aurora's icicle of a heart but you really touched most of our hearts" Kyla said with a smile.
"I was just being honest and following my own heart" Reis said.
"So, does Erasa know that you're her so-called Guardian Angel?" Kyla asked.
"Shin?! I thought I told you not to tell anyone!" Reis glared at Shin in disappointment.
"She tortured it out of me!" Shin said with a look of depression.
"No, she doesn't know but I think she's beginning to suspect. Just before you called me, she asked to see my shoulder" Reis said.
"Maybe it's not such a bad thing for her to find out" Kyla suggested.
"Sure, it'll be just fine if she found out that I have powers that no dragon shared with me" Reis said in sarcasm.
"I see your point. It is kinda weird" Shin agreed.
Meanwhile, Evil Eghan was planning his revenge with Dossou and Cudjoe and they somehow managed to get Erasa involved. They knew that she suspected Reis to be her Guardian Angel so they came up with a diabolic plan to test Reis.
"The plan is simple. All you have to do is lure Reis to the Kaiser Lake. If you can get him into the water, all the better and if he manages to get hurt in the water, that's even much better. If the Kaiser-pentia comes out, we'll see just how much of a Guardian Angel Reis can be" Evil Eghan said with wicked pleasure.
(The Kaiser-pentia was a terrible water beast that resembled a sea-serpent. It was known for its strength and once caught by it, a victim was destined to be drowned at that very instant. No one had ever escaped its clutches.)
"But what happens if it isn't Reis. He'll end up seriously hurt or worse. I cannot be involved in something like this!" Erasa said seriously.
At that moment, Aurora walked up to them.
"Come on Erasa. You can't seriously be thinking that Reis is a Guardian Angel can you?" Aurora asked.
"I have my reasons. Besides, if he turns out to be one, I bet he could save my mom, Ethan and Effuien" Erasa said.
"Then go along with Evil Eghan's plan. You'll find out for yourself if Reis is your Guardian Angel and besides, it will be good payback for me" Aurora said with a smirk.
In the Rangers HQ, Captain Hiru stood before the Dragonlord and requested that he might complete Erasa's mission.
"I can't let you do that" the Dragonlord said plainly.
"Why not?!" Captain Hiru demanded an explanation.
"For two reasons. One, you are emotionally involved with this mission and that could result in you making irrational decisions and two, you are needed here. You are the captain of this Guild's entire security system and we cannot afford to lose you now" the Dragonlord said seriously.
"But they are my family! I can't abandon them!" Captain Hiru said desperately.
"I know. That is why I will send a team to rescue them. Don't worry Hiru, they are highly capable. I will appoint them personally" the Dragonlord assured Captain Hiru.
Captain HIru sighed.
"The Dragonlord is very considerate, we seek his wisdom to find light" Captain Hiru said with a bow.
Back in Dragon High, classes had resumed. Mistress Kira had ordered the students to open their history textbooks. Reis took out his textbook and opened the prescribed page.
"Great, it's the one page I can't seem to understand" Reis rolled his eyes in boredom.
"Reis Dragonhaӓrt, will you care to tell us which kingdom first allied itself with the dragons?" Mistress Kira asked.
"Cool, there is no way he'll get the answer. This is a trick question" Aurora smirked.
"Excuse me ma'am. This must be a trick question because the people that first allied with the Dragons were not a kingdom since kingdoms did not exist in their time. They were more of a community, much like this guild" Reis answered confidently.
"What?! How could he know that?! It's not in any of our textbooks and I only learnt it from Mistress Kira. Who really is Reis Dragonhaӓrt?" Aurora wondered.
"Excuse me ma'am. You look so serious. Am I wrong?" Reis asked nervously.
Mistress Kira stared at Reis in surprise and intrigue.
"No Reis, you are right" she answered.
"Wow, Reis is so intelligent!" some of the students exclaimed.
"What a geek!" Evil Eghan's group teased.
Reis laughed nervously and sat down.
"Reis" Erasa called nervously.
"What's up Erasa?" Reis said in an attempt to sound cool.
"I'd like to speak with you after school. Can you wait for me?" Erasa asked.
"Okay, I'll wait for you" Reis laughed.
"Am I doing the right thing? Reis seems so…so innocent" Erasa thought silently.
"Uh Erasa? You look disappointed. Is that not the answer you wanted?" Reis asked.
"I'm not sure anymore" Erasa said silently.
Classes continued and by the next four hours, they were over. Reis packed all his stuff and walked out of class. Kyla and Shin were waiting for him outside.
"What are you waiting for Reis? Let's go home" Kyla said.
"Sorry guys but I can't. I already promised Erasa that I'd wait for her after classes" Reis informed them.
"So you really are changing your sights from Aurora to Erasa" Shin teased.
"Cut it out! It's nothing like that besides, I don't need to go around searching for love, love will come to me…or so I've heard" Reis said with a sheepish grin.
"You lost confidence in an instant. Fine, we'll just see you at home" Kyla said.
"Oh and one more thing Reis, if anyone asks you to go to the Kaiser Lake, don't go. It's probably a trap" Shin joked.
"I'll keep that in mind" Reis said as he waved them goodbye.
Soon, they were out of the school gate and out of sight. Reis remained standing in front of the school's main entrance. Soon, Erasa came out. Aurora, Evil Eghan and some other students followed close behind.
"Sorry Reis. Did I keep you waiting for too long?" Erasa asked politely.
"No, but I thought you said you wanted to speak to me in private" Reis said suspiciously.
"Actually, I need you to escort me somewhere. It's not far from the school field but…I'm terribly scared to go there alone" Erasa said nervously.
"But why me? You could have Darak or anyone else you know better than me, escort you there" Reis said seriously.
"It's because I trust you" Erasa said.
"Trust me? You barely know me" Reis became even more suspicious.
"What I mean is, I trust your eyes, they don't lie" Erasa said with a nervous laugh.
"Well, if you insist. So where is this place you want me to escort you to?" Reis asked.
"It's…the Kaiser Lake. I seem to have lost something precious there. It's a…a…um…" Erasa tried to come up with something.
She glanced behind Reis and saw Aurora and Evil Eghan hiding in the hedges. Aurora mouthed the words 'Sapphire ring'.
"It's a what?" Reis asked curiously.
"It's a sapphire ring my mom gave me. It has been missing for so long and I've been afraid to search for it since" Erasa told a half truth.
Reis recalled Shin's warning regarding the Kaiser Lake.
"Will you come with me please? I can't ask anyone else because they will call me a coward of a Dragon Ranger" Erasa pleaded.
Reis stared into her eyes. He could read her emotions. She wasn't being entirely honest but she was quite desperate. The sort of desperation that comes from a life or death situation. Reis smiled.
"Of course, I'll go with you. If a memento of my parents were to get missing, I'd be just as desperate as you are" Reis said.
"Thank you very much Reis" Erasa said but in her heart, she was really saying "I'm sorry Reis, please forgive me".
Erasa led Reis through the school field into the Kaiser forest behind the school. Aurora, Evil Eghan and the other conniving students followed quite close behind, yet concealed by the trees and the darkness of the forest. As they walked through Kaiser forest, they could hear the howls of the Kaiser-wolves. Erasa drew closer to Reis for protection. Reis felt uncomfortable with her closeness but he tried not to think about it.
"How far to the Kaiser Lake Erasa?" Reis asked.
"It's not too far now" Erasa said.
However, they walked for quite a distance before eventually leaving the forest.
"There is the lake!" Erasa said as she ran ahead of Reis.
They stood on a cliff and the lake was just below. The lake was quite wide but it seemed to be on a lower level than the surrounding land.
"Come on Reis, I'll race you!" Erasa said excitedly but as she neared the edge of the cliff, she tripped on a stone and began to tumble into the lake below.
"ERASA!" Reis called and in a flash, he was at the edge of the cliff.
He caught Erasa but her weight pulled him down. He knocked his arm on the jagged edge of the cliff dislocating it in the process but he held tightly to Erasa's hand and endured the pain and somehow managed to prevent both of them from tumbling into the lake.
"Th-this is bad!" Aurora exclaimed from her hiding place.
"Stay put and watch Aurora" Darak said firmly as he viewed the situation from behind a tree.
"Reis' speed was really impressive. I would say it was in fact unnatural for a person without a dragon bond to move that fast. It was just like back then" Darak said as he recalled his fight with Shin and Reis' dragon parry move. "There is much more to Reis than he is letting us see. I can feel he's hiding something" Darak said seriously.
"I agree" Aurora said.
Meanwhile Reis was still holding Erasa's hand tightly.
"Reis, you saved me" Erasa said gratefully.
"Erasa, I think I broke my arm. I'll stretch out my other hand. Hold on tight and I'll pull you up" Reis said as he stretched out his other hand.
As he stretched out his hand, the jagged edge of the cliff pierced his flesh and he began to bleed. Drops of his blood fell into the lake and that was bad news for no sooner had the first drop of blood touched the surface of the lake than the monster in the lake awakened! Reis struggled but he managed to pull Erasa to solid ground further dislocating his arm in the process. When Erasa was on safe ground, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she saw Reis' dislocated arm and guilt began to fill her. She burst into tears.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Reis. You got hurt trying to save me" Erasa wept.
"Stop crying Erasa, I can fix my arm" Reis said as he pulled his dislocated arm suddenly.
There was a cracking sound and Reis' arm looked good as new.
"See? My arm is alright" Reis said with a reassuring smile.
"I'm sorry Reis. It's all my fault. I lured you out here…" Erasa was saying.
"Lured me out here? What do you mean?" Reis asked but suddenly, a huge navy blue tail shot out of the water and divided the cliff in two!
Reis was standing on the safe side but Erasa fell into the lake.
"ERASA!" Reis screamed.
At that moment, Aurora, Darak, Evil Eghan and the others sprang out of their hiding places.
"I see! So this was another trap for me!" Reis yelled angrily.
"Can we resolve this later?" Aurora tried to avoid a direct confrontation.
The tail went back into the lake and in the next instant, a huge navy blue sea serpent with vicious fangs and terrible spikes running along its body arose from the lake.
"Oh no! That's not the Kaiser-pentia! It's…it's…" Aurora stared in fear.
"HELP ME! HELP!" Erasa screamed in fear.
"It's the king of Kaiser-pentias! It's the Kagua-Serpentia!" Evil Eghan exclaimed in shock.
"My power is useless against sea creatures!" Aurora exclaimed in fear.
"I'm at a disadvantage too! Damn! It just had to be this beast!" Darak exclaimed in exasperation.
"Stay out of this! You guys have done enough already!" Reis yelled angrily.
"Are you saying you'll deal with this creature?! You have no dragon abilities!" Darak yelled.
"No, I don't" Reis said as he unsheathed his sword.
"You're crazy! You'll die!" Aurora yelled.
"Even if it puts my life at risk…I won't let Erasa die! I may not have Dragon abilities…but I have…MY SECRET ART!" Reis declared as he ran to the edge of the cliff and dived into the lake.
Erasa was unconscious by then due to the shock and she began to sink. Reis brought her to the surface and struggled to pull her to level land while Aurora and Darak distracted the Kagua-Serpentia. The Kagua-Serpentia in a rage, shot multiple spikes at Aurora's gang. Some of the spikes headed towards Reis and in an effort to protect Erasa, Reis bandanna was ripped from his shoulder. Finally, Reis managed to bring Erasa to level ground. Reis pumped the water out of Erasa's lungs. Erasa began to cough and soon she had spewed out all the water. She opened her eyes slowly. The first thing she noticed was Reis' green eyes, then his dragon scar. She opened her eyes in joy and excitement.
"M-My Guardian Angel was you Reis" she said in surprise.
"Darak! Aurora! Take care of Erasa! I'll deal with the Kagua-Serpentia!" Reis said as he charged across the lake.
"I-IMPOSSIBLE! He's running on the lake!" Aurora exclaimed in shock.
The Kagua-Serpentia shot spikes from its body but Reis deflected all of them with his sword. In a rage, the Kagua-Serpentia shot out its tongue! Tentacles grew out of its tongue and headed towards Reis. Reis managed to block a few but there was clearly a difference between blocking something rigid and something flexible. One of the tentacles wrapped itself around Reis. The Kagua-Serpentia lifted Reis into the air and kindly used him to reshape the terrain.
"REIS!" Aurora and Erasa screamed in terror as Reis fell into the lake.
Reis stood up and began to laugh.
"Is that all you've got? You sure have some guts trying to hurt one of my friends! BRING IT ON YOU STUPID BEAST!!!" Reis screamed as he charged to attack the Kagua-Serpentia.
"His character sure changed all of a sudden" Aurora said with a funny expression on her face.
The Kagua-Serpentia sent its tongue after Reis once again.
Reis enforced his sword with lightning and sliced the Kagua-Serpentia's tongue in half.
"Don't you know it's impolite to poke your tongue at people?" Reis teased.
The Kagua-Serpentia hissed in pain.
"I've had enough of you. I'll end this battle with my next move!" Reis declared as he charged towards the Kagua-Serpentia.
The Kagua-Serpentia shot multiple spikes towards Reis! Reis evaded all of them.
"In the elemental balance, water is weak against lightning. I guess I'll have to thank Kyla for forcing me to study" Reis said with a confident smile as he came within range of the Kagua-Serpentia.
"TAKE THIS! RAIZINN STRIKE!!!" Reis roared as he focused as much lightning power as he could into his sword and slashed across the Kagua-Serpentia's head.
There was a great discharge of lightning that charged through the surrounding lake and converged on the Kagua-Serpentia. The shock from the attack caused the Kagua-Serpentia to collapse into the lake. The battle was finally over and the Kagua-Serpentia lay defeated at the surface of the lake.
Reis walked to Erasa. She could not look at him after all that had happened.
"I'm sorry Reis. I needed to find out whether you were my Guardian Angel or not" Erasa apologized.
"Why?" Reis asked.
"I know I've betrayed your trust but I've got a favour to ask. My mother, and teammates are being held hostage by bandits. It seems they work for a man called Erikkus Di Devilli. I beg you to save them" Erasa pleaded.
"We'll help too" Aurora volunteered.
"Sure" Darak agreed.
"Thanks guys" Erasa said gratefully.
"Reis, I guess we owe you an apology. We went too far this time" Aurora apologized.
"Yes, you did" Reis said as he helped Erasa stand up.
"I'll walk her home so I hope you guys don't have any more underhanded tricks up your sleeves" Reis said.
"No, at least not for today" Aurora smirked.
"So it's a Kagua-Serpentia today. I guess your next move will be a Kaignis-wolf" Reis said sarcastically as he walked away with Erasa.
"I think we've set enough traps for Reis and this one nearly backfired. We'll just have to find another way to make his life miserable" Aurora said with a smirk.
Meanwhile, Reis and Erasa had reached the school gate. They had walked from the Kaiser Lake in silence.
"Reis…I-I'm sorry for today. You saved my life and I was so selfish" Erasa apologized.
"No Erasa, you were selfless. You only wanted to discover the identity of your 'Guardian Angel' so that he could rescue your family. It was my fault. I never should have kept my identity secret from you" Reis said.
"But I put you in danger" Erasa said regretfully.
"I admire your faith in me but…I'm just as human as you are" Reis said.
"You are something more Reis. I will believe in you. You are so kind too. It's such a pity that Aurora doesn't see you for who you truly are" Erasa said.
They were nearing Erasa's house. It was sunset by then.
"I don't blame her. Jared's death really hurt her" Reis said.
By that time, they were at Erasa's house.
"We're here. This is my home Reis" Erasa said.
"Go and get some rest. Take a warm bath too. It will prevent you from catching a cold" Reis said with a caring smile.
"I'll be sure to do that" Erasa said.
"Okay, I'll see the Dragonlord tomorrow so goodbye for now" Reis said.
"See you tomorrow Mr Guardian Angel" Erasa waved.
"See ya later!" Reis waved back and soon, he was out of sight.
By the time Reis arrived home, it was night time.
"Where were you Reis! You're really late!" Kyla scolded.
Reis smiled.
"Thank you Kyla, you really saved my life!" Reis said as he hugged Kyla.
Kyla was surprised.
"What have you been up to? You better explain yourself before I smack the heavens out of your brains!" Kyla scolded him.
"We were really worried about you!" Shin joined.
"S-Sorry, I went to the Kaiser Lake with Erasa" Reis said.
"You're kidding right?" Kyla asked.
"No, I'm serious" Reis replied.
"Sheesh! So much for my warning! So were you attacked by the Kaiser-pentia?" Shin asked.
"No, I was attacked by the Kagua-Serpentia but don't worry, I already defeated it" Reis said coolly.
Kyla and Shin stared at him in shock.
"He-D-did he just say he defeated it?" Kyla stammered.
"So calmly too" Shin said in surprise.
They turned slowly to look at Reis as he ascended the stairs.
"Just how strong are you Reis?" Shin asked rhetorically.
"I'll leave that to your imagination" Reis said with a laugh.
He was so tired that he went straight to bed. Soon he was fast asleep. He felt satisfied with the day's events.
Little did he know what the words "Kaignis-wolf" would mean in his next adventure. Watch out for Episode 7-The New Team Kira.
