Chapter 27 - (Part 5)

Rauf looked at the high schoolers who sat surrounding him. "You guys should go back as well. Go get changed and refresh yourself." He stated. "Huh? Are you going to stay here?" Noah asked. Rauf nodded, "The moment you feel recharged, come back then." "Alright, captain." Senri smiled standing up. He stretched his arms wide.

"But, I want to wait for Alan. He hasn't even met us." Aigou mumbled depressed. "Don't worry. We will meet him. Since, it will take him some time to get back. We should get ourselves into shape alright?" Elias suggested patting his head. "Let us go, Zach." Smiled Isa as Zach nodded. "Ah!! My back is killing me~" Ren cried standing up. "Hey Kazuna! Will you give me a massage?" he asked rubbing his back.

Kazuna eyeing him silent for a while walked away. Orion with a wide freaky grin asked Ren, "Leave Kazuna~ shall I give you one~?" Ren gulped walking away," I suggest no one should give me." Aaron smiled, "Looks like we'll have to meet our Alan a little while later." "Seems like it huh…" endorsed Nagi. "Ah! Such a long day!" commented Noah taking the same path as the middle schoolers.

"Say Evan, you aren't coming?" asked Elias facing him. Evan denied, "I am with Rauf and Haruf, you guys go first." "Alright~" waved Ren resting his arm on Kazuna's shoulder. The highschoolers soon made their way back as well. "Such a bunch…" sighed Haruf. Rauf looking at Haruf asked, "So what's the news?" Evan looked at the two of them seriously.

"Really~? Even the path back to the dorms seems as if crossing a desert~" cried Feng. "But still… I seem to be quiet intrigued by that Alan boy." Poseidon marveled. "Him right! I was surprised as well. He is going to come back and forth from the mountain in less than 2 hours?! That seems impossible doesn't it Seraph?!" Adam asked intrigued, unconsciously strangling Ryan as well.

"Let me go…" Ryan uttered. Due to his surprise Adam tugged him even tighter. "It is impossible. That is why I'm so confused…" Seraph replied. "He might be making it all up." Gabriel smirked. "Making it all up with that much confidence? I wonder about that…" Kenzo replied. "If in any case, he makes it back… what do we do?" asked Xavier.

"Wasn't he going on and on about taking over the world again and again?" asked Cassiel. Ryan smiled, "If he does come back. We'll accept his challenge from before." The boys looked at him in wonder. "Pft… something only you would say little prince." replied Feng. Helios grinned, "Then he would be quiet an intriguing figure if he does that." Suddenly Kenzo and Xavier paused in their steps. "Everyone stop." Kenzo warned. "Huh? What's wrong captain?" asked Azazel looking at Heber.

"I think… someone is following us." Poseidon cautioned. "Huh?" uttered Heber as the boys turned around to find the highschoolers following behind. "Huh?! What are they doing here?" asked Feng surprised. "Tch! Do they want another match?" asked Gabriel annoyed. "That would be bad if they do." replied Helios taking his ball out while Xavier and Seraph did the same. Kenzo and Ryan grasping their bats hard gazed wildly at the approaching threat.

"What do we do? Should we ignore them and go?" asked Adam anxiously. "Who knows? Doesn't it depend on them?" replied Ryan.

"Huh? Look aren't they the middle schoolers? Why did they stop?" asked Noah looking at the boys before him, "Do they have something to say to us?" "I wonder about that…" replied Nagi. "They are being conscious." Told Kazuna walking forward. Senri nodded, "They might be thinking that we are coming back to attack them." "So they are scared of us?" Aigou summed up.

"If I were you. I wouldn't say that." denied Isa. "Just like Kazuna said, they are wary of us. Not scared. Just look at their eyes. Are they looking like of those who are about to be defeated?" Aaron grinned. "Geez! We really are the bad guys here aren't we?" said Noah disappointed. The highschoolers walked closer to the middle schoolers who stood on their guard.

"Here they come…" whispered Heber gulping. Upon their surprise the highschoolers went past them without even betting an eye. "Huh?" Feng stood puzzled. "Geez! Why are you all so stressed? We won't eat you or anything." Aaron smiled suddenly ruffling Poseidon's hairs in between. Poseidon and the others blinked their eyes confused. "Come on now." Aaron called waving them.

"What was that?" asked Gabriel. "So… they weren't here to challenge us?" asked Adam. "Really? Their sudden change is sending me chills down my spine for no reason." Xavier shrugged. Kenzo eyed them troubled. The middle schoolers slightly puzzled walked behind them. "So… what are they doing going in the same direction as ours?" Heber murmured. "How would I know?" Azazel replied in his ear.

Hearing their mumbling Nagi turned around, "I suggest that there is no need for you all to be that wary of us now. We aren't here to harm you or fight against you. So you can lend your guard down a little." The boys looking at each other stared at the highschoolers who all stopped in their tracks instantly eyeing them. "Now, that they all stare together… I feel as if I have even lost the little bit of energy I had left in my legs to reach the dorms…" cried Feng.

"Let our guards down you say~" Kenzo smirked. "I am surprised, you can even say that in front of this king after doing all that." He told. "Hmph~" Isa sighed, "King…? Moreover, wasn't it your fault that you were weak since the beginning? The world outside won't be foregoing your mistakes like we did." "Okay, okay, your highness. Don't sweat it." Senri told patting Isa's shoulder. "Yes, your highness. They are still kids. They have a lots more to learn." Continued Elias calming him down.

Kenzo eyed him dissatisfied. "Alright, my king. We don't have to purposely start a fight with them if they don't want to." advised Seraph as Helios nodded. Ryan smirked walking forward towards Kazuna who walked without stopping. "Hey you with long blue hairs, stop!" he ordered. Xavier with the others looked at him in surprised. Hey! What are you doing…?" asked Adam nervously.

Kazuna shifting his face towards the right eyed Ryan grave, his eyes entering his soul with a single glance. "Hm?" he asked. "You know… last night you broke my bat. I had used that one ever since I came to my academy. So tell me… how you are going to compensate me for it." Ryan asked. Kazuna stared at him for a while.

"Huh?! Is that brat still stuck on that?! I told him that I would buy him a new one!!" Feng freaked out. Noah and Ren looked sighing. "Is that it?" Kazuna asked seriously. "Yeah~ that's it." Ryan gazed him back grave. "And here I thought I said we didn't had to purposely start a fight…" Seraph repeated.

"If Ryan would listen like that… than I wouldn't had to be his guardian." Xavier teased. "Tch~ let that brat go for it." Kenzo encouraged. "You really don't know when to stop huh? Didn't thought you all would be this much trouble…" Senri scratched his head. "So… is he the type to fight on things like that?" Heber asked Elias. "Hm… let's see. Nope, our little Kazuna is too kind for that." Elias replied.

"If you want a new one then, I'll buy it for you." Kazuna suddenly replied. The middle schoolers all gasped in wonder. "Haiz~ Kazuna is too kind for that. Elias told you." Orion endorsed. Ryan blinked his eyes in wonder. Kazuna soon walked forward. "Hey, wait! I don't want a new one!" Ryan rejected his offer. Kazuna turned around to face him once more. "Huh? He doesn't want a new one? Then, what does this brat of your want?" asked Noah pointing at Ryan speechless.
