"Say Adam, why aren't you practicing?" asked Seraph slightly cross. "Hm? Because I saw you making a scary expression, I went to check it out." Adam replied concerned.
Seraph smiled caringly, "Hun…? When did I make it? You must be mistaken. Come on, now go and practice." He patted his back. "Okay…" Adam nodded making way towards Feng once more.
"No wonder, Zach was constantly keeping an eye on him. Seraph Awan… was it? He is one tricky all-rounder to deal with." told Nagi.
Zach heading back to his seat sat beside Isa. "Did everything went well?" Isa asked. Zach revealing a light smile nodded. Aigou eyeing Heber stood sighing. Elias worried asked, "Is something the matter?" Aigou shook his head right and left. "That boy… why is he jumping on the pitch?" he asked.
Elias replied, "It must be his style, why are you asking? Isn't yours a little familiar as well?" Upon his comment Aigou stood annoyed as if he was seriously offended, "Not in a single way it's familiar!" Elias gulped. "Right… I was wrong forgive me…" he apologized.
"Adam Elamin and Heber bin Saad… these two have a familiar jumping style however, acrobatic is involved in Heber's one. Even the baller gets distracted by his bizarre returns, look." Aigou pointed out as Noah too gazed interested as he saw Azazel struggling with his balling.
"A fine start for the batting line up." Aigou continued.
"Ezekiel is also talented in that point. His illusions are worth looking at." added Elias, "I am quiet interested in him, since, he has a slightly familiar style as mine. A spin countering batsman." "Good for you Elias." Aigou congratulated.
"Huh?" wondered Aaron. His gaze suddenly shifting towards Poseidon who sat beside the pitch taking deep breaths. Gabriel too knelt beside him gently patting his back. "I am alright… don't worry." Poseidon assured.
Standing right before Isa and Orion, Aaron jumped inside the ground grabbing a sports drink bottle. 'What's up with him?" Orion wondered.
"Poseidon Agiel… vice-captain of Eight Generation Academy's cricket team. An ambidextrous spin baller and beside him is Gabriel Harut, a right handed spinner as well. He is the captain of Roots Millennium Academy's cricket club. Both of them share the same qualities as Aaron." Nagi informed.
"Ah… no wonder he seemed quite interested…" said Orion staring at Aaron's back. Isa smiled at him, "The one who was the most curious amongst us all. Aren't you interested in anyone?" Orion shook his head rejecting, "They are all different from me… no one gets crazy while playing like I do. That's why I don't feel like being interested in any one."
Nagi upon hearing his comment pushed his glasses above, "I don't think that's the case…" "Huh?" Orion blinked surprised. "Azazel Minhas… the boy balling Heber tends to get out of control from time to time. Depending on his mental state, if someone displeases him, his alarm ticks off creating chaos." Nagi explained.
Orion eyed him puzzled. "He is isn't much worse than you, so you better be prepared to handle him." Nagi added sarcastically. Zach, Noah and Isa looked at each other puzzled. "But that boy…" Nagi uttered grasping a look at Poseidon seriously.
"Are you alright?" Aaron smiled passing the sports drink bottle to Poseidon, sitting beside him. "Yes… thank you…" Poseidon replied confused. "So shiny…" he thought gazing at his face. "How much longer do you intend to stare at me?" Aaron asked still smiling.
Realizing his actions Poseidon blinked his eyes suddenly apologizing, "I'm- sorry. I- I didn't intent to stare." "Pfft, Haha!" Aaron chuckled at his innocence. "I don't mind it. You didn't have to apologize over something so trivial. The whole world stares at me." he assured suddenly from being serious to proud. His long proud nose could clearly be seen.
Gabriel eyed him annoyed. "I feel like punching that face of his…" he whispered which Poseidon seemed to hear clearly. "Haha…" he smiled awkwardly. "Leaving everything aside. How are you feeling?" Aaron asked his expression suddenly turning into a caring one.
"What about that boy?" Orion questioned curious. Nagi sighed, "He is suffering from an incurable disease." "What?!" Noah and Orion shrieked out. "Indeed, in his academy days he was usually admitted in the hospital making it impossible for him to play in practice matches. However, after a surgery he was able to enter into the inter academy competition where he earned his title with his balling skills despite being sick." Isa explained.
"Unbelievable… so Captain Rauf knows about it all?" asked Noah. "Of course he does. However, he doesn't want to let go of his talent. And for this… the base is doing whatever it can to find a cure for him." Nagi replied. Orion and Noah looked at Poseidon and Aaron anxiously, "No wonder… Aaron feels so attached to him…"
"Pardon…?" asked Poseidon surprised. Gabriel too stared at him alerted. "No need to be on your guard all of a sudden. I already know about it your illness that is." Aaron said. Hearing that Poseidon looked at the ground embarrassed. Aaron instantly patted his head.
"Seems like you're really struggling hun… it's alright. I might not be the best amongst the high schoolers. However, I am indeed unique. So about it… shall I help you?"
"What?" Poseidon uttered in disbelief.
"I'll make sure to help you just like your best friend there does." Aaron pointed at Helios who returned Xavier's balls. Gabriel stood up walking away. A relieved smile resting his face.
"What is it? You look rather… happy? It creeps me out!" shuddered Feng looking at Gabriel. "Shut up!" Gabriel responded angrily. "Ah! Must be my mistake." Feng corrected sarcastically. "Help me… just like Helios does?" Poseidon repeated confused.
"Yup, though it might feel a little strange at first, but trust me my feelings are genuine." Aaron assured standing up. "Think about it and then tell me. Be it illness or pain. I'll make sure that you take over the world with us." he smiled leaving a stunned Poseidon behind.
Aaron walking back sat calmed. "Really… what did you say to him? He's acting as if struck by thunder." Elias pointed Poseidon's behavior of disbelief. "Nothing… I just gave him a hand." Aaron stared at Poseidon who stood up and went towards Cassiel tumbling in between.
"Looks like he'll fall in a second or two." assumed Ren as he wrapped his arms around Aaron's shoulder from the back. His head resting over Aaron's hairs. Aaron looking at Poseidon's clumsiness smiled. "Really, he's so cute." he commented. "I think so too." agreed Aigou. "Maybe… that is the reason I am so intrigued by him…" Aaron whispered.
Elias remarked, "Really… over here we didn't even make up our minds on whom to teach and you even found yourself a student beforehand."
