One... two... three... four... five... six... almost seven minutes had gone by and Su hadn't run out like they had expected. Yangi had refused to believe that Su would continue to bath with all that noise so he came out of hiding himself to check. He hadn't even bothered to send any of his bewildered musketeers. He had himself ran into the bathing cubicle; only to find it empty!.
There hadn't even been a trace of a human flesh!
Yangi had been so scared that he immediately felt chills down his spine; his eyes bulging out. He then beckoned on his followers to come over and see for themselves the miracle he was witnessing.
They were making their way over to their 'leader' when Su appeared from thin air as though he was a shadow assassin and beat Yangi to an almost perplexed state. He had then gone on to Yangi's followers, beating them one after the other. By the time he was done, both leader and followers made for a sorry sight.
By now, all other trainees in the Academy had gathered at the bathroom as they had heard the loud bang from the fire cracker and the wails from the beatings.
Ever since the incident, Yangi and his followers had known better than to cross the little devil's path. They had tended to the painful injuries inflicted on them by Su for some weeks. They had even missed some days of training and had been jeered at by their peers. Yangi had since then kept all his anger and unhappiness to himself.
Everyone in the Academy had silently resoluted in their minds to not bother to unravel whatever secrets Su worshipped in the bathroom. The thought that he should be left alone with his body subconsciously had been planted in everyone's mind from that day.
The young man would always find excuses to not go with them for a bath at the river, or even sign up for some contests they held where they fought with bare chests. Luckily for him, even as he grew, he didn't have a voluptuous chest; this could have been a result of the vast and strenuous trainings they had every day. He was just as the others, except that he was inches shorter and a bit on the lean side of the scale.
