She's back

Monumento Arcadian Elementary School.

Clark arrived at his school and entered.

"Has she arrived yet? Hopefully she's here already so that i can tell her" Clark said to himself and walked toward his dorm.

Dorm 7

Clark walked in his room and was ready to shower because after a week of training in the mountains, there was no shower there.

Clark was about to go to the bathroom,

"You idiot! Where have you been these past days? When I arrived here you were already gone?!"

It was Elizabeth, who arrived a few days ago when Clark was training his body on the mountains.

She spoke when Clark arrived and immediately hugged him without her realizing this.

"You're finally here Elizabeth, you have been gone for a long time" Clark hugged her too without him realizing too.

After a few minutes, the both of them let go of each other and blushed and were silent.

"Where were you Clark?" Elizabeth broke the silence.

"Ahem, my teacher and I are starting the second part of my training" Clark stopped blushing and said this.

Elizabeth was curious and said,

"Second part of your training? What kind of training is it?"

"Body training!" Clark immediately replied.

"No wonder you were gone when I arrived here!"

"By the Elizabeth i have something to tell you" Clark said

"What is it?" Elizabeth replied with a curiosity on what he was about to tell her.

"I will train with my master for a year in the mountains and I will not be here with you for a year !" Clark said to Elizabeth with a serious look, waiting for her response.

Elizabeth heard this and didn't know what to say to him.

After a moment of silence,

"Okay, all I can do is to agree with you. This training will benefit you and I don't want to be the reason to delay you, so I will support you here and will train to get ahead of you" Elizabeth broke the silence.

Clark smiled and with a smirk on his face,

"Of course this will benefit me greatly! But don't be confident! After a year I will surpass you!" 

She chuckled then added,

"Okay i will wait for a year, but today we have a duel remember?"

Clark remembered when he read the letter when Elizabeth left, she told him that she would surprise him.

"Yes! I remembered! But first let me take a shower first! I didn't shower for a week because I'm in the mountains training, there's no bathroom there, just trees" Clark replied to her and he walked to the bathroom.

Elizabeth laughed so hard,

"You really stink idiot! Go take a cold shower, I will wait for you!"

"Okay!"

15 minutes later,

Clark was done showering.

"You're finally done showering! You took so long! You kept me waiting!" Elizabeth said angrily.

"Of course I took my time, it's my first shower in one week!" Clark replied.

"Let's go, I will beat your ass in the training grounds" Elizabeth said to Clark

"But first let's eat, I'm quite hungry right now!" Clark pulled Elizabeth.

Elizabeth blushed,

"Okay! Whatever you say!" She followed him to the cafeteria.

School's cafeteria.

Clark and Elizabeth entered the bustling school cafeteria, the aroma of various dishes swirling around them. The room echoed with the din of students chatting and utensils clinking against plates. They made their way through the line, filling their trays with a variety of foods: steaming bowls of noodles, crispy fried chicken, and colorful salads.

Clark glanced over at Elizabeth, a smirk playing on his lips. "Quite the spread they have today," he remarked, balancing his tray expertly.
