Next morning, Kyle and Ellie were surprised looking at Ariys new look after woke up, they all were still wearing pajamas and was at cooking section. As for Fri, he was exhausted from hearing the same questions from Ariys and praised her for whole night, he left as soon as they arrived.
"I don't know that you wear specs. Why you don't wear it before this? Also, how can you still look okay like you doesn't have any sight problem" Kyle asked, curious while brought two cup of hot chocolate.
"Oh, because my specs are missing before we meet, and my sight is not that bad. I just have a glare problem " Ariys answered and still energetic, even though she didn't sleep last night.
"So, why are you wearing them today?" Ellie asked.
"I don't have a spare pair of specs at home. I get this from Fri. He give me this last night" Ariys answered, smiled brightly made Ellie furious at her cuteness.
"You look so cute, Ariys. Please let me hug you" Ellie said before hugged her.
"Thank you, sis" Ariys hugged Ellie too.
"I think that's enough, you guys need to go prepare for training now" Kyle said.
"Yeah, that's right. By the way, where is Qylaa. I don't see her in her tent" Ellie responded, she let go Ariys and took the cup of hot chocolate from Kyle.
"Let me search her. I'll tell her to get ready" Ariys voice filled with excitement as she wanted to show her best friend her new look. She walked away.
When Ariys left from there. They expression changed immediately, they eyes were widened and they mouths were opened looking at each other.
"Kyle, I don't misheard, right? Ariys said that she receive gift from Fri" Ellie asked her boyfriend while shook his body.
"Yeah, you're right, Ellie. I hear it too. It's hard to believe Fri is giving gift to someone" Kyle replied.
They then returned normal and took two pieces of bread for breakfast and started gossipping about Fri. Meanwhile, Ariys arrived at the lake.
"Qylaa should be at here" Ariys talked to herself as there were nothing else Qylaa could go.
She looked around at the lake and found Qylaa and Fri not far from her. They were beside the lake from where Ariys stood. Just about she wanted to call Qylaa, Fri made an unexpected movement. His hand touched Qylaa. Ariys felt angry looked at Fri.
"How dare you touch my best friend!" Ariys shouted as she ran toward him at full speed. She then jumped and kicked Fri's face, Qylaa was startled saw that.
Fri was pushed dived into the lake followed by Ariys. They took a seconds to floated, Ariys extended her hands to blocked Fri from went to Qylaa. Ariys and Fri stared at each other.
"I think it's time for us to sign a peace treaty. We always attacking each other since the moment we meet" Fri sighed and suggested an idea.
"There's no way I'll sign it with a pervert like you" Ariys voice was echoed through the camping area. On her back, Qylaa gritted her teeth.
"Huh, pervert?" Fri confused.
"Don't play dumb with me. I saw you trying to touch my best friend" Ariys said loud and clear made Fri frown.
Qylaa then swam across Ariys, making Ariys question it.Qylaa showed Fri the leech that was adhered to her arm. Fri took the leech carefully and threw it farther away into the sky.
"Thank you, Fri" Qylaa felt relieved.
"No problem" Fri responded. He and Qylaa looked at Ariys that tried to ran away from there.
"Hey, shorty. Don't you think you need to apologize to us first before run away" Fri's voice sounded assertive.
Ariys felt incredible pain penetrated her heart when she heard 'shorty'. She then swam back to them and grabbed Fri.
"I know that I short, but you don't have the rights to call me shorty. Also, I'm sorry for not asking first before acting" Ariys shouted on Fri's ear. She looked at Fri, he was grinning.
"But you're the one who introduce yourself as shorty, remember?" Fri said while teased her by pretended he didn't see Ariys, he even looked around searched for her. " By the way where are you? I don't see you"
Ariys was really pissed off with that. She then fought with Fri. Qylaa tried to separate them, but she was pushed down into the water when interrupted. Out from they zone, a cup was flew towards them. The cup landed between them, separated them. Ariys and Fri looked at where the cup came from. Ellie was stood there and glared at them with Kyle by her side. As for Qylaa, she just kept pretended she was drowned and let her body stumbled in the water.
"I thought I have said to you clearly that you need to prepare now after found Qylaa, Ariys" Ellie said, her commando aura can be felt by Ariys, Fri and Qylaa.
"Sorry, madam. I'll get ready right away, madam" Ariys's voice trembled. She quickly got out from the lake and went to her tent.
"I'm safe" Qylaa thought, but her thought was wrong as Ellie spoke to her.
"Qylaa, how long do you plan to acting? I know that you are not drowning and you have ready for training. I suggest you quit your acting and start training with Fri" Ellie said, but her eyes was looked at Fri.
Fri could read what the meaning behind Ellie's face. "Please teach her properly this time with no violent or I will disband you from party" he saw those word above Ellie's head. In front of him, Qylaa quit acting and apologized to Ellie. They then went to the center of the lake and started training there.
"It's done, now let's get ready too, Ellie" Kyle said while stretched his body and did a little warm up, but Ellie still not quit from her commando mood made Kyle confused. "What's wrong, Ellie?"
"What's wrong? Do you know what you just throw now?" Elli voice was low but still sound terrifying.
"A cup" Kyle responded casually while rub his head.
"And what kind of cup?" Ellie still asked.
"Your creation cup, I guess" Kyle still relaxed, but soon he realized that the cup was Ellie gift for him when his age 15 years old. "Sorry, Ellie. I thought that glass is made from you" he jumped into the lake and hopes that glass wasn't broken.
Ellie became cheerful again saw that, she then went to her tent and got ready.
After a couple of minutes, Ellie had arrived to open area not far from their camping. That open area was adorned with a nice, bright green grass and surrounded by many kinds of tree, such as eucalyptus, willow and fern. The lighting there too was pleasant, it was bright, but not too hot and that open area was mostly covered with tree shade. Ariys sat in the center, enjoying nature. She then stood up when Ellie approached her.
"So, what kind of training we'll do today, sis?" Ariys asked.
"Fight training" Ellie answered while showed her fist in front Ariys' face making Ariys fell to the ground, startled. "But before start, give me your specs" Ellie said.
"Why? I love this specs. You can't just take it from me" Ariys insisted with a sad voice.
"I just want to upgrade your specs, so it can last more longer. Do you not want your favourite specs to live longer?" Ellie responded.
"Yes, I want this specs remain with me until my journey reach its end" Ariys said, quickly gave Ellie her specs. Eriys stored the specs in her etherium ring.
"Wow, sis, you have etherium ring. How much it cost?" Ariys asked, her voice filled with excitement.
"I just steal it from factory in my country" Ellie responded casually. She made it looked easy to stole a unlimited space ring from factory.
"Is that a joke? I know that ring is expensive, but to steal it from factory. It's impossible. The lunarians race isn't something human can win over even when use mystic force" Ariys thought.
"Let's start your training now" Ellie announced.
"Wait, why me and Qylaa train separately? Aren't it more easier to train both of us" Ariys asked.
"Yes you are right, but in adventure having two person on the same role is not going to help you a lot, so you and Qylaa will be learn a different styles of fighting. Don't worry, you will also be teach by Fri. We will do it alternately" Ellie answered.
Ellie then tought her a defensive martial arts.
Meanwhile on the lake, the sun was shine brightly. Qylaa who was in the lake felt so hot, even though she was in the water. Actually she had exhausted by her training with Fri. She need to dive in the water and tried to struck him.
"It's hard to fight in the water, I need to consider many things. My movements, my breathing and my enemy movements" Qylaa thought, felt desperate. Her breathed was quick.
Fri realized that Qylaa can't held much longer to train, so he suggested to Qylaa "let's rest first, it's too hot now to continue"
Qylaa nodded, but soon her body cramped when she swam to the ground and she began to drown. Fri who was not far from her quickly approached and grabbed her to surface.
"Are you okay?" Fri asked, worried Ellie might scolded him if Qylaa was drowned.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Thank you, Fri" Qylaa replied, her arms was on Fri's neck.
Fri then swam and brought Qylaa to the shore, he let her lying on the ground while he got something. While Fri was not there, Qylaa was lost in her though when she looked up to the sky.
"This training is surely making me lose more confidence each time it passes" Qylaa sigh while recalled her training when she learned taekwondo. "It was nice back then. Knowing my opponent would be some normal human and not a creepy super powerful beings" as she said that she realized why she was brave when she was young.
Suddenly she was awake as Fri dried her hair with a little towel.
"Oh, you have awake" Fri said, covered his face that clearly showed interest with Qylaa's hair with another little towel.
"I'm not asleep, I'm just remember something nice when I was young, but hey, you sure like my hair, huh" Qylaa responded, she still lying there, even though her body wasn't cramped at all.
"Nonsense, why do you think I like your hair?" Fri replied, but his hands still dried Qylaa's hair and his eyes showed some sparks that he actually didn't have.
"Better you tell me the truth or I will not let you touch my hair" Qylaa threatened Fri and she got ready to sat up.
"Okay, okay. I like your hair. I'm not sure why I find it so interesting, maybe it's because your hair is pretty and the way you tie your hair make it more beautiful whenever I see it" Fri said without realized that he was making Qylaa blushed.
"It's good that no one is here n..." Qylaa just thought they were alone. Suddenly a loud voice interfered.
"I find it, Ellie. The cup still in one piece" Kyle shouted as he reached ground from the lake. He spotted Fri and Qylaa and went to them.
Qylaa quickly grabbed one small towel from Fri and wrapped her red face except her hair with it. She also tilted her body away from Kyle.
"Fri, where is, Ellie?" Kyle asked as he wanted to let his girlfriend knew he had found the cup.
"Please don't ask about me" Qylaa repeatedly said in her head.
"Ellie is training Ariys at the open space" Fri answered, he acted casually while still dried Qylaa's hair.
"Huh, safe" Qylaa thought.
"Oh, I see thank you Fri. By the way, what's wrong with Qylaa?" Kyle said while tried to got on other side.
"Please don't let him see me" Qylaa hope.
"She is asleep and do not want anyone see her. Please don't tell Ellie that she is resting when train with me" Fri told and begged to Kyle.
"Thank you, Fri" Qylaa felt relieved.
"If that the case, I'll go first, see you soon and take good care of Qylaa, Fri" Kyle said while walked away from there.
When Kyle had gone away, Fri grabbed Qylaa's head and let it on his thigh.
"Why Fri?" Qylaa asked as she was startled.
"You are lying so far from me. It's hard for me to dry your hair" Fri answered and continue dried Qylaa's hair that he couldn't reach.
Qylaa was too blushed as she had never had anyone try to pick her up before. She sat up covered her red face from Fri. She also started to dry her face. "I prefer to sit when someone helps dry my hair" her voice stuttered as she spoke with Fri. Fri was okay with it and didn't questioning it.
After a quick rest and Qylaa condition was fine. Fri continued training her in the ground. He tought her an offensive martial arts and improved her power on taekwondo.
--------------
At the open area, Ariys was lying on the ground.
"Sis really doesn't have talent for teaching" Ariys sighed as she didn't understand anything from Ellie method of training.
"Hey, get up little girl. How long do you think you can lay on the ground on battlefield?" Ellie commanded, her feets approached Ariys.
Ariys tried to deflect Ellie's attacks, but she made a mistake on the process. "Crap" Ariys said. She became panic, she closed her eyes. She then felt a wind blew her skin.
"Hey, Ariys you can't close your eyes in a fight. You still have hope if you think calmly" Kyle advised while hold his girlfriend feets.
Ariys opened her eyes and thanked Kyle.
"Looks like you're still bad at teaching, Ellie. Hold this for me, I will take it from here" Kyle handed the precious cup to his girlfriend.
With Kyle help Ariys movements became more smoother. Ariys could felt the difference between Kyle and Ellie method of teaching. Kyle launched attack same like Ellie, but he could also helped Ariys with her stance and form in the fight. His instructions were clear and easy for Ariys to follow. Not like Ellie, she just explained how to did it and strike without helped Ariys at all.
Ellie felt pissed off looked at them, so she just sat at the ground, waited for the night to came patiently.
