'If Master agrees'

Back in the room that had been assigned to the trainees, they all laid on their beds and wondered what the elders were on about in the meeting room.

"it's been barely two days and I already miss being at the Academy so much. Our food is much better than the food here and our water is cleaner... everywhere here is also guarded, we cannot even roam freely" one of them lamented

"but we have gotten first-hand experience of a real battle here, we are now more experienced than the others at the Academy" another one of them tried to look at the brighter side.

"Who cares if we have first-hand experience? I almost died out there... urhhh" the first trainee shivered as he remembered how he had almost been taken down by the enemy's sword if not for the timely intervention of Yeong.

"Now I heard Master wants to negotiate with the Leader of the Dead Owls, tsk tsk... what negotiation?! I would rather he goes to their headquarters and destroy them!!" Yangi, one of the trainees exclaimed

Su and Lu Kang laid beside each other and had been listening to the others.

"what do you think Master should do?" Su faced Lu Kang

"i do not know. He must know best... he isn't the master for nothing"

"true. Ours is to follow his orders"

The atmosphere was a bit too quiet and still.

"Yes. Su, would you like to go to the Town tomorrow?, let us tell father about it tomorrow" Lu Kang instantly had a lit-up face.

"but the Town is far from here, Master would surely be against it. What with the talks going around about meeting the Leader of the Dead Owls" Su was skeptical

"It is not that far, The five of us would go together, Master Yeong can go with us too if father allows it. We should have some fun before going back to the Academy. Who knows when next we would have a chance to follow father out?, Come on, don't be a sissy" anyone could see excitement crawling up his face. He could go on all day with inducing Su.

"who's a sissy?, you dare!" Su started to punch Lu Kang playfully

"aigooo... aigoo... Su is killing a brother. He saved me yesterday from the enemy and wants to kill me himself today" Lu Kang held unto his tummy and made exaggerated cries

"stop with the act. Be serious"

"I'll stop if you agree to go with me to Town tomorrow" Lu Kang was adamant
