Chapter 26 - (Part 4)

Alan speechless, took a deep breath, "Looks like… you won't even let me talk properly huh old man?" And, as soon as the bottle approached him once more Alan swirled his bat around facing the bottle and smack! Slammed it with force harsher than thrown, it flew towards Nidou.

His eyes brightened gazed at the bottle in utmost fury. "You know… before taking your anger out on others you should probably ask if they called you a million of times before and if how busy you were even when they did!!" Alan declared. The speed doubling itself pushed the bottle towards the terrace. "Such power…" Poseidon murmered taken aback.

"Unbelievable… such strength form such a small figure." endorsed Seraph as the others stared. "So this is how much powerful, he has become?" wondered Noah grinning. Rauf gazing at Alan sighed. The bottle soaring into the air went past by Nidou's face and was slammed on the wall beside Seles who stood in utmost horror.

"Watch out! Brother Seles! And, Old man… I am back. I hope you have been well." Alan greeted as the bottle burst into tiny pieces while water drizzled on the terrace. "That… could've killed me! At least warn a little bit sooner!" Seles shrieked tracing the bottle busted beside him terrified.

"Say… was it a four? Or a six?" Alan asked Nidou teasingly. Nidou smirked, "A four only… don't get ahead of yourself." "Moreover, the brats you want to take on so crazily, will die shortly from now." he continued. Hearing his words Alan stood stunned, "What?! Why?" The middle schoolers who were confused too looked at each other. "Who said that we are about to die?" asked Feng. "Who knows…?" replied Ezekiel.

"Those rascals have been training without sleep and food since last 2 days. One more toil now and they'd be as good as dead!" Nidou warned. "Ah! Right! You guys haven't eaten anything!" Damian realized. "Ah… now I realize what was missing." Replied Gabriel who had totally forgotten that they even had to eat.

"No way~" cried Alan in disbelief. "So until they get their stomachs full. Go and get sports drinks from the hill!" Nidou ordered. "Huh?!" questioned the boys together. "But? Didn't we bring cartons of them just now?" asked Cassiel. "Looks like it's his punishment." Kenzo smirked.

Alan sighed, "Alright…" "How many do you want?" he asked turning around. "20 boxes!" Nidou replied. The boys stared at him with wide eyed. "20 Boxes?!" Xavier repeated baffled as Ryan too stared at Alan bewildered. "Isn't that impossible? We only bring four boxes with us every time we go? How is he going to handle 20 on his own?" inquired Feng.

Helios and Poseidon gazed at Alan silent. Alan smiled shaking his head, "20 hun… as merciless as ever." "Well Nagi my boy…" he called. Nagi standing up asked, "Hm?" "Hey, is our ignoring time finally over?" Aigou asked. "What was my time limit the last time I climbed the hill?" Alan asked warming up.

"Let me see… you came back in 2 hours and 17 minutes approximately with 15 boxes." He told. Kenzo gasped, "What did he just say?" "2 hours… 17 minutes?" repeated Seraph stunned. "Don't tell me this is a lie?" asked Adam surprised. "2 hours 17 minutes? Isn't that too much? How about this time it's 1 hour 55 minutes?" Alan challenged.

"Are you serious?!" asked Noah walking over to him. "Hm, from your voice you are Noah right?" Alan asked turning around to face the highschoolers. However, the boys stared at him surprised. "Why did you close your eyes?" asked Zach.

"Because right now… I can't meet you all evidently. So I won't look. I want to greet all of you one by one commenting you on your progress. That's why I won't look not right now. So wait until I come back. Don't worry, I'll be as quick as I can." Alan replied. Kazuna stared at him along with the others. "Is that so?" he asked.

Hearing his voice, Alan flinched. "Kazu? Kazu…?" he asked lightly. "Then I'll wait. Hurry up and come back." Kazuna replied leaving. Alan smiled, "Alright, I'll be back."Now Nagi my boy. Get your stop watch ready and hand it over to brother. Okay?" he asked. Nagi nodding threw the stop watch towards Rauf who instantly caught it.

"Haiz… who would believe that our little Alan will now stand up to break Captain Rauf's record." admired Ren proud. "He has grown a lot huh?" remarked Evan. Alan standing up looked at the middle schoolers one last time as a vivid smile rested his lips, "Say… if I pass this test, will you take over the world with me?"

Kenzo, Ryan with Helios, Poseidon, Xavier, Seraph, Gabriel and Adam gazed back at him blinking their eyes. "Well, no need to be so shocked. I will be the one to decide who is worthy of going with me and who is not. Think of it just as an invitation." Alan added blatant. Kenzo twitched his brow with veins popping on his forehead, "I think I have one more rascal to take care of on my list now." "Are you ready?" asked Rauf.

Alan turned around nodding, "Of course!" taking his position he waited. "Go!" Rauf called. And, as soon as those words escaped his mouth Alan rushed at the speed of lighting outside the base as the boys stared at him in wonder. "So fast!" commented Cassiel. "Hey… could you even see him?" asked Heber blinking his eyes.

Kenzo taking a deep breath sighed gazing back. "You brats!!" called Nidou from the terrace above. The middle schoolers looking above pointed a finger towards themselves. "Us?" asked Ryan. "Of course, you all! Who else?" Nidou asked. The boys glanced at him and again at each other. "Go back to your dorms now. Eat something and get some rest. Your training for today is over. Tomorrow meet me back here at the same time." Nidou ordered.

Helios looking at Poseidon nodded. "Finally~ I am dying." Cried Azazel brathing relieved. "Looks like we should head back now as per the coach's orders." Xavier told. "Yeah, since right now we are not in our best conditions at all. We can't afford a match nor game with anyone." Seraph continued. "Tch! My blood boils when I even look at them." Sneered Gabriel clicking his tongue vexed at Rauf as who gazed at the highschoolers before him grave.

Adam kept his hand on Ryan's shoulder. "Mikael, Christopher and Damian, you guys go back first alright?" asked Poseidon. Zak, Jonah and Damian looked at each other who were hurt as well and decided to head back first. "Alright you lot. We are also heading back." added Kenzo a little while later as the thirteen middle schoolers soon made their way back towards their dorms as well.
