Luan arrives at Grandpa Han's house, and Grandma is taking care of the house plants, he hugs Grandma, goes in the training room, it is an old room with several walls as if one were a partition, it looks like a maze. Grandpa Han is next to Derick who is training with his bow and arrow.
Grandpa Han sees him and says:
"Luan go warm up, your endurance training is 1 hour today, then do the hurdle jump!"
Luan confirms with his head, he does his warm-up, his face changes when he is concentrated, he finishes his run, then does tests of muscular endurance of flexion and extension of elbow and of sitting and standing, and finally arrives at the part of the jump in obstacles, but for some reason he seems dispersed at the moment, as if he were thinking about something, the test consists of jumping huge stones the test is to go up down running, the challenge is to break the time record, which by the way is from Derick. So Luan is trying to jump a higher wall, he jumps with determination, but arrives in the middle of it and falls.
-"Ouch...what a bummer!"
Grandpa Han and Derick watch from afar, he jumps and falls over the obstacles, it really is a real chaos, but what frustration, then Derick thinks:
(...he would definitely die if the test was today...)
Luan then gets up, gets ready again, but Derick jumps over the obstacles with absurd ease, and speaks:
"What's so hard about doing that Luan?"
Luan looks surprised and in awe.
"Wow, you're so good Derick ...wow....like you.....wow..."
Derick rolls his eyes and speaks:
"..., get out of here, go home, and on Wednesday it will be 2 hours for you to reward what you did not do today!"
"At least it would have to be 5 hours right?!"
Luan looks incredulous:
"Oh, you want to kill me, huh? I'm leaving, bye!"
They retort together:
"No you would kill yourself child...tsc tsc"
Derick wants to choke Luan, but struggles not to choke him.
"We're a team but I can't always help you, especially if you're distracted, you'll die easily like that, and I'm not going to go after you, you can forget it, I'll leave you there to manage on your own! So improve your focus and concentration, and I'm done talking to you for today!"
Then Grandpa Han calms him down:
"Calm down Derick, the wake-up test is coming and he's anxious, there are too many things going on in his head at the same time, it will all work out soon.
Arriving home, he sees the cat waiting at the window, it is Mr. Fluffy waiting at the window. Luan opens the door and Mr. Fluffy comes running and meowing....
-...meow...meow....
Then Luan takes him on his lap and strokes him.
"Ow...you're waiting for me to eat, right? Hm... you don't like to eat alone, do you? I know, I know I don't like it either, well let's see what we're going to eat today..."
He sees a note on the table.
"Honey, mommy will be late again today for a book exhibition and I need to be there, so eat before me today."
"...Oh...okay...I hope it's a good exhibition, let's see what I want to eat today...."
Llamen, because I'm not inspired to cook today.
Luan looks at the clock on the living room wall and it is already 4:50 pm.
He goes to put the water to boil in the pot, but just then the doorbell rings, and it's a delivery for Luan, so he quickly goes downstairs, picks up a small package. Luan signs for it and the delivery man makes a checklist on the delivery app.
Luan goes up the stairs and back to the kitchen.
"What will it be?"
He opens the sealed box, he looks at the sender it's from Grandpa Han.
"Oh...a box with a bow and a letter...."
"Dear Luan.
I am so happy that you have returned, and that our family is together again, even with the distance, my love and care will always be there. I know it is a new challenge for you, but we are very proud that you can represent our family."
Then he opens the box, it's a watch, but not just any watch. Luan takes out his notebook, opens it to the page that has a clock and it says Time Conjurer Clock.
"Hm, it has a different design, this one in the notebook looks older, and this one is much more modern. I guess the Day of Awakening Test is finally near. Then he takes it out of the box and puts it on his arm."
"Oh, it's very nice, let me see how it works."
He takes a good look at the watch on his wrist, runs his finger across the screen and it lights up and the hands of the watch appear.
"Oh, it's on-....ok seems quite normal even... the watch reads 17:00."
- According to Grandpa, the clock chooses its owner, and passed from generation to generation, but only one person can control it and a long time can pass without this artifact choosing it, the goal is to Control Time and use it to control and conjure a population of fugitive creatures, which are very common in this city, but not everyone can see them, only being descendants of these creatures.
"You paid enough attention, right Fluffy?... he looks at the plant on the coffee table near the couch and remembers to water it, then he makes the llamem, he eats and remembers that he needs to finish a summary of the book, which was not long to go."
"I forgot, I thought I had finished the summary...."
And an hour passes, and the clock goes up and the timer starts.
-Piii...pii...piii...17:01
"Hey, how did I set the timer? I don't remember turning it on, where do I turn it off?"
"Oh, you have to swipe your finger again."
He looks at Mr. Fluffy totally still, looking like a sphinx...
"Fluffy...hey...buddy what's up? Why are you staring at me?"
He gets very close to the cat's face, and smiles...
"Hey..."
The cat blinks and paws Luan in the face.
"Ouch Fluffy, what a fright..."
He looks at the flower vase on the table, with some petals fallen.
"But what happened here? I just watered it... my mom bought it yesterday, what am I going to tell her?"
Then he looks at his watch.
"Has time stopped? It can't be, wait I remembered something..."
He picks up his notebook again and remembers making a remark about something.
"If time is paused for a period longer than 1 hour, everything that is a living being, if it is touched before pausing time there will be a consequence and it will change its present, as soon as time resumes running at its normal time." he says.
"He looks at Mr. Fluffy startled, and hides his hands."
"Oups, how careless of me!"
At the same time, Grandpa waits for Derick to pack his things and go home, but he notices something different in question, his pocket watch lights up and slowly goes out...
He receives a message telling him:
"Your delivery was successful."
Then Grandma Han looks at his watch, he smiles and speaks:
"Finally... we just need to make a few adjustments now."
