Kai !

"Um guys, ain't you moving in the tent?".

Kai and Kyung Mi stood still. Kai was thinking of how comfortable Kyung Mi will be with two guys in a tent with her, 'won't she be uncomfortable'.

Ollie looked at Kai, "Dude?".

Kai sighed, "Ok, I will-".

"I will stay" Kyung cut in.

Kai looked at her and they made eye contact, he turned sharply to Ollie, "Actually I will go have some walk". Kyung twitched her eyebrows, 'Was that what he wanted to say'.

"Ok Kai. Kyung Mi um I'll help you with your bags then", Ollie took her bags and Kyung wanted to stop him but she withdraw. "It's- it's fine".

She looked at Kai who was already far from them, "What the fuck is wrong with this guy". She snarled inwardly.

Immediately someone tapped her from behind, and she turned.

"Are you alright?".

"Yes, Miss Sanae" Kyung mumbled. Miss Sanae walked away checking other tents.

Kyung Mi looked back in the direction Kai went but he was out of sight, she cursed and made to enter the tent but she stopped and looked around. Miss Sanae was still checking on the tents of other students, she wasn't looking in Kyung's direction.

Kyung Mi walked towards the direction Kai went, she was careful not to drag attention until she was out of sight where the tents were set.

The crunching noise of twigs was heard as Kai walked through the quiet woods. The leaves and trees were brushing up against his white hair. The evening breeze was blowing through his fore-protruded hair towards his right eye. There is a dark path ahead so he kept walking. He didn't budge because it was said to them that the area was secured and it was among the safe zone pro-occupied by the mages.

Immediately something tugged on his pants. They wore normal clothes to east China but tomorrow they'll be in their uniform, the kimonos.

Kai pushed forward trying to disarm the object that held the lower part of his pant in its seams, he tugged slowly but it wasn't letting go.

"Zirpppp" His pants tore. He did tug it harder and that came out as the result.

"Shit" Kai winced, he tried to trace his hands to check out the damage and something cut him.

"Ouch" Kai felt his hand and it was wet, he knew it was blood though the cut was little. Kai decided to go back to the camp area, he was already getting uncomfortable with the woods. He rubbed the cut gently.

Kai haven't gone far, immediately he heard a few twigs crack behind him.

"Huh?" Kai turned to check what made the noise, the light of the moon was dim, so it was hard for Kai to figure out if there was anything there.

He shrugged and continued since he didn't notice anything, not long cracks of twigs were heard again but this time together with the rustle of leaves as if something move so fast within the leaves.

Kai became agitated, he turned slowly. The noise came again but Kai couldn't detect where it came from and it was fast.

The leaves rustled again but simultaneously and it was becoming clearer cause it was making its way towards kai.

Kai's heart clenched as he swallowed a lump of saliva, he put out his hands forward.

"Release".

Ollie wondered what took Kyung Mi so long to enter the tent. 'Maybe she's shy', Ollie smiled mischievously.

"Kyung Mi, there's no need to be" He paused immediately as he came out of the tent.

Kai did tell him that he will be out for some time but Kyung...

"Where is she?".

He looked around, he saw other students, some were scattered, some were sitting around a campfire and were spouting out jokes.

"I can't believe we are missing this fun".

"Kyung Mi, Kai" Ollie called out but with a low tone.

"Jeez, where are they?". He decided to walk down the path Kai and Kyung went through while whispering their names.

"Kai, Kyung Mi,... Kai".

Kai held the katana firmly as it materialised. immediately the noise stopped.

"What the hell is that?" Kai's eyes were moving fast, he was alert but at the same time, he was shaking.

That was the first time he would encounter something strange.

"Kai?".

Kai swerved immediately, "Kyung Mi?, What the heck are you doing out here?".

"What is in your hands?", Kyung Mi noticed that Kai was holding onto something.

Kai folded his hands at his back hiding the katana from Kyung.

"Oh, you don't.." lightning crackled softly at Kyung's fingertips creating a source of light.

Kai breathed in, he wondered what Kyung was trying to do.

Immediately Kyung's eye went wide, and Kai saw it.

"Kai! dodge!".

"Huh?" Kai was confused, he wondered why the sudden alarm.

"Fucking dodge!!".

Kai dived sideways, landing on hard twigs.

Lightening from Kyung's finger shot at the enemy behind Kai with a loud sizzling sound which echoed in the woods.

"Jeez, what was that?" Ollie rushed further just to see sizzling lightning on Kyung's finger.

"Kyung!" He rushed towards her. "What was that?, What were you shooting at?", He looked around and saw Kai lying on the ground, "Kai!, are you alright?". He looked back at Kyung and then to Kai again.

"It's not what you're thinking" Kai groaned. He stood up from the ground holding his ribs, "ouch, am fine".

Kai looked in the direction where Kyung shot, "What was that?" He asked her breathing heavily.

"Something I couldn't-".

Immediately something tugged Kai backwards and dragged him down, "Oh shittt!!!", Kai's voice echoed as he goes down the hill.

"Kai!!!" Kyung and Ollie shouted, they rushed to the spot where Kai fell off and stopped immediately.

"Oh my God, this is a fucking hill".
