AWAKENING - the adventure

Chapter 25: Thoughts and Memories



Lenny lies in his room, exhausted from the training he done with Ichiro.

He then stretches his hand to the air and wraps it with aura, smiling of his new learned technique,

Lenny: "I have to get stronger"

He says to himself, giving his best so that Jack doesn't have to protect him anymore.

Someone knocks on Lennys door,

Jack: "Lenny? You there?"

Lenny: "Y-Yes big bro, come in"

He replies, looking at Jack while he enters his room.

Jack: "I haven't seen you the whole day"

Lenny: "Y-Yeah I have been…eh been outside"

Jack: "Outside? What's so cool outside?"

Lenny: "You tell me, you have been outside too"

Jack: "Yeah, Henry and I explored the residency and found a training room"

Lenny: "A training room?"

Jack: "Yeah its pretty big and it seems that someone trains there all the time"

Lenny: "But I thought that the Mitsunaga's only have daughters"

Jack: "Apparently there might be a distant relative who lives here so who knows"

Lenny: "Alright, good to know"

Lenny's stomach growls loudly,

Jack: "You hungry?"

Lenny: "Yeah"

Jack: "Alright then let us get something to eat"

Henry is outside, still exploring the residency when he suddenly hears a familiar sound,

He opens a door to get outside, seeing Emilia and another girl near a pool, drinking

cocktails and laughing together,

Henry: "Emilia?"

Emilia stops laughing, turning her head to Henry, feeling like if she got caught doing something she shouldn't be doing,

Emilia: "Henry! How are you doing"

Henry: "Who is that girl"

Emilia: "Oh this? This is Hinata. Hinata this Is my little brother Henry"

Hinata smiles at Henry,

Hinata: "Hey Henry, nice to meet you. Your older sister is so nice, she told me everything about you"

She says while chuckling,

Henry gets nervous,

Henry: "W-Where can I get something to drink?"

He says while nervously smiling,

Ichiro walks around outside as well, simply minding his own business.

After a while, he delves into his thoughts,

Tadashi: "1000 penalty push-ups"

Ichiro: "Why?"

Tadashi: "Your form was bad, and you used aura to cut down the tree when I strictly said you should not use it"

Ichiro: "B-But it is impossible to cut a tree with only a stick"

Tadashi shakes his head, deeply disappointed in the young Ichiro.

He picks up a stick from the ground and strikes it at one of the many trees in the

forest they are in, cutting it in the middle.

Ichiro: "WHOA, HOW DID YOU DO THAT?"

Tadashi: "By having good body control and strengthening your core, you will awake your true potential"

Ichiro: "That was so cool, I want to learn that too"

Tadashi laughs, patting Ichiro on his head,

Tadashi: "Then start by doing 1000 push-ups and after that you do your 1000 penalty push-ups"

Ichiro: "WHAAATTTT???"

Ichiro smiles, thinking about his past,

Ichiro: "Master Tadashi, even thought I am a troublemaker, you always gave your best to

train me"

Ichiro sees a tree, he then picks up a stick near the tree and strikes it with the stick,

cutting it in the middle.

Ichiro: "Still got it"

He says before laughing,

Arashi: "So you are not a complete weakling, good"

Ichiro turns around, questioning who said that,

Ichiro: "Who are you?…I know who you are"

Arashi: "Im just a hunter, looking for his prey"

Jack and Lenny are sitting in a cantina, looking at the menu,

Lenny: "Where are we?"

Jack: "Apparently, this is the canteen for the servants, but guests are also allowed to eat here, or that's what one of the servants told me"

Lenny: "What's Udon"

Jack: "I think noodles"

Lenny: "Let me have one"

Jack: "They also have Yakitori here"

Lenny: "I already had It in Eryndor, let me try something new"

Jack: "I will stick with the Yakitori"

Jack stands up, looking at the table number before walking up to the counter,

Jack: "One portion of Udon and one portion of Yakitori"

Servant: "[hai]"

Jack: "Something feels off with Lenny; his aura feels different, did he train?"

He says to himself, waiting at the counter,

Servant: "Oden and Yakitori"

She says, giving Jack a tray with a plate of Yakitori and a bowl with Udon,

Jack: "Here is our food"

Lenny: "Thanks big bro"

Jack looks at Lenny as if something is wrong,

Lenny: "Is something wrong big bro?"

Jack: "You trained your aura, right?"

Lenny makes a shocked expression,

Lenny: "How did you find out?"

Jack: "Where did you learned it?"

Lenny: "Since you would never train me, I went to Ichiro"

Jack: "Ichiro? Really?"

Lenny: "Yeah, he trained me, and I will continue to train and there is nothing you can do against it"

Jack: "You bring yourself into danger Lenny"

Lenny: "I am always in danger and because I never trained, I can't help you or even protect myself"

Jack: "You don't have to, that's why i am here"

Lenny: "I have to"

Lenny stands up angry, leaving his Udon unfinished,

Jack: "Lenny"

Lenny: "Leave me alone"

Lenny leaves the cantina, leaving a saddened Jack.

Lenny: "I can't believe this, he never wanted to train me and now when I started training, he gets mad at me"

Jack: "Lenny? Where are you, I can sense your aura"

He shouts from the distance,

Lenny: "Oh come on, of course he can"

Lenny stands up and runs away, stumbling over a step, falling of the way and falling

into a pit that hid between the grass next to the way.

The pit is not deep, Lenny could easily get out of it, but he doesn't.

He notices a small gap that lets him look into a dark room,

Lenny: "Hello?"

He calls into the gap

???: "Is someone here?"

A mysterious and bizarre voice calls back,

Lenny: "IS SOMEONE THERE? HELLO WHAT ARE YOU DOING INSIDE THERE?"

Lenny shouts into the gap, worried.

???: "I am trapped, the Mitsunaga's have captured and hold me here for a long time"

Lenny: "DO YOU NEED HELP?"

???: "Please, free me"

The voice says,

Lenny: "OKAY, DON'T WORRY, I WILL GET YOU OUT SOON, WAIT UNTIL"

???: "Okay, what is your name?"

Lenny: "I am Lenny, and you?"

???: "Kaelvyn"

Lenny: "Okay Kelvin, hang on for me, alright?"

Lenny gets out of the pit, running back to the way,

Kaelvyn: "I will wait, Lenny…"
