The Legend of Azhakkstadd

CHAPTER XXVIII: BACK TO REALITY

-Kuzma-

            "Back to reality guys ahahahaha" I said in between my laughter reminding them that it's training time again, after everything that we knew still we have to train and do our part to graduate, student duties ahahaha

            "Did we have a vacation on Fantasy land?" Kurezma asked mocking me while doing her best to make herself sound so innocent, she's very good at killing my trip, but she won't stop me from getting back at her though ahahahahaha. I laughed sarcastically and looked at her disgusted

            "I did not literally mean that shallow," I said as I looked at her with a blank expression "Jog thirty rounds" I snapped as I looked away from her while taking steps toward the field, I saw her face turned to disgust too before I could turn away, I heard the others laughed softly because of us again

            "Shut up" she replied with irritated tone "You can't even handle that yourself" she continued in a sharp tone as if she's hitting into something while walking behind me

            "Of course I can, I did forty rounds once" I reminded her what I just did sometime before... i-it's true I managed to do it once, I'm strong alright... no need to retell everything that had happened, the bottom line is that I did it, truthfully... I managed

            "Yea you did, that was the time you fainted.... oh yea I remember, when you forced yourself to do that just to show off, right?" she exclaimed between her chuckles and obviously with sarcasm "That day when you can't move your legs the whole morning... I remember.... that was...." she continued as her chuckle turned into a laugh, gosh! so talkative... how dare she!?

            "You shut up... you must have forgotten it already to mess up your memory," I told her and walked faster... how dare she say that ahahahaha but it is true... a little, though.... but at least I jogged forty rounds, no one has ever beat my record of doing so

            "Do you guys know already how to use thunder with your swords?" Ashtan interrupted as he asked about their little assignment that he gave them before many things had happened

            "I was about to do that, but as you know I was caught by my dream for days" Aisha answered reminding him about what happened to her that made her being able not to do so, but instead of learning that technique she just acquired a legendary skill, that's way cooler!

            "I was at the healing center so probably Kurez didn't do her part, you know... no one was there to remind her" I teased Kurezma as I chuckled when I looked at her. Her face became red out of disgust which made me chuckle. Her annoyance is my happiness ahahahahaha just kidding, I'm not as bad as that, I just want to play around with my little sister, that's all

            "Duhh we were all at your house, looking after Aisha, so we didn't have time to do that" Kurezma glared at me as she defended herself to Ashtan explaining her side

            "Were you looking after her the whole time?" I teasingly asked her then gave her a teasing wink that made her annoyed even more

            "We can do that today, anyway" she uttered as she walked faster towards the field after she gave me a dagger look

            "You could've learned that faster" I just said before she could go further and then laughed loudly

            "You're always annoying her," Ashtan said as he looked at me with a silly smile that I responded with a little laughter

            "Don't worry about her... let's go" I stated and we walked quickly to catch up with Kurezma

            I did not actually mean to let Kurezma run thirty rounds around the field though, and if I did mean that, she won't obey me anyway. I told them to start their stretching and some physical exercises, which they all did with Ashtan leading them... well, actually us... I also jogged with them and did some stretching, doing exactly what Ashtan is telling us to do, but I separated myself from them... I have my own exercises.

            After doing our exercises we sat down on the ground and rested ourselves first before proceeding with the training about the technique.

            "I wonder why do we have to do those exercises, we're just combining thunder with our weapons and control it" Kurezma started a conversation, she's strong but still she's dumb... of course that's necessary, she just don't like exercising because of her laziness, I know her

            "I wonder where did your brain go" I answered her mockingly with a playful tone and expression, then she just glared at me and looked away ahahahaha she really looked hilarious, that's why I love doing this, it makes my day

            "You snatched it remember? you needed two brains to function" she replied back the mockery I just threw at her ahahaha it's so funny that she doesn't get offended easily, instead she just rides the idea and go with the flow

            "I didn't get your brain, I can't make use of it anyway" I answered her but she didn't look at me but I saw her laughing softly

            "Yea because your dumb, you don't even know how to use your very own" she just blurted out and stood up to get her water

            "But you're dumber" I added before she went away, I just laughed while sitting down and having my rest

            "You're so mean ahahahaha" I heard Aisha commenting, she's beside me resting too, I looked at her and saw traces of laughter on her face

            "Don't mind it, she won't get offended just by it anyway" I assured her as I smiled her and looked away

            "She's got long patience" Nazif cut himself in "Unlike some people around here somewhere who starts teasing others but ends up offended when being teased too" he continued insinuating something obviously to Aisha but not laying his eyes at her

            "Hey I'm not like that" Aisha looked at him and blurted out as she struck him on his arm lightly

            "I didn't mention a name. I didn't say it was you" Nazif said as he avoided Aisha's gaze looking far away ahahaha they looked so funny playing together

            "But you're pertaining to me!" Aisha insisted as she grabbed Nazif's arm closer to her

            "No, it wasn't you, but if you're affected then it's not my fault ahahaha" Nazif responded as he turned again to meet Aisha's eyes with a soft laugh

            "See? you were pertaining to me!" she exclaimed with disgust on her voice as she struck Nazif again on the same arm

            "I didn't, just think what you want to think, I don't care" Nazif just rolled his eyes and looked away from Aisha

            "I don't care about you too!" Aisha exclaimed as she looked away from Nazif too, these two are so funny ahahahaha the typical love story of some lovebirds ahahahaha

            "You say you don't care but you do" I whispered but I made sure that it's enough for them to hear, I laughed softly before I could hear their reactions, so silly

            "I really don't!" Aisha quickly defended herself saying that she isn't but, gosh it's so obvious ahahahaha she's just saying it right now

            "I don't either" Nazif defended himself too without looking at Aisha ahahaha among the two of them he's more obvious, he looked awkward

            "Yea, you don't" Ashtan agreed with Nazif as he laughed, he sounded so sarcastic ahahahaha I know what's going on here, I don't need a clue to decipher anything "From how you acted these past few days, you really don't" Ashtan added

            "Why? what did he do?" I asked although I already knew, but I just asked to make it more obvious and to make the situation even worse ahahahahahaha

            "Let him say it ahahahaha" Ashtan teasingly poked Nazif lightly "That's ok dude, you can do it" he added

            "What are you talking about?" Nazif grunted disgustedly and stood up

            "What's happening?" Kurezma sat down with curiosity on both her tone and face

            "I acted normal!" Nazif exclaimed and left the spot, I followed his gaze until I sat down somewhere turned away from us, but before he could leave I noticed his face turned tomato red ahahahaha I'm sure Kurezma noticed that too. That made her smile playfully understanding what's going on right now. Nazif must be pissed off when we interrupted ahahaha but I know him too, he'll get over it soon

            "What is it?" Aisha asked with curiosity too, she had no idea what's going on, she was gone that time after all

            "Ask him" Kurezma teased her but she just frowned and stood up while picking up her blade staff

            "I'm not talking to that guy" she slowly said with a threatening tone

            "As if you can" Ashtan interrupted as he laughed out loud but loud enough for us to hear

            We all stood up and picked up our swords, we found Nazif's ax laid on the ground. I looked at Ashtan and Kurezma and winked at them. I left the ax laid on the ground and ignored it as if I didn't see it, the two of them must have understood what I did. They also ignored the ax leaving Aisha no choice to pick it up and hand it to Nazif. I'm sure she noticed it because I heard her gasp as she turned her head towards it.

            "Hey, it's his" she uttered softly and picked it up... told you... she got no choice but to do it though ahahahahaha haayyyy these lovebirds... I'm sure they're not the only one ending up together...

-Kurezma-

            Nazif and Aisha looked so funny a while ago ahahahaha but they looked sweet too, I felt romantically excited about them ahahahahaha I'm jealous, I hope I had something like that too, it felt so happy and alive... I'm just to young for that

            "Hey! your ax, sloppy" Aisha handed Nazif's ax in a sharp and snappy way, she raised her hand holding the ax waiting for Nazif to get it... this scene is so cute, gosh... they really looked like a couple, if only they weren't that bitter...

            "I'm not sloppy" Nazif answered with a tone the same as Aisha's, he looked at his ax on Aisha's hand for a while and suddenly grabbed his sword quickly and pierced it to the ground... The movements were so quick that my eyes didn't have time to see it, Nazif just grabbed Aisha's hand holding the ax a while ago, it was so fast, I didn't even catch the event "T-t-thanks.... and... s-sorry" I just heard Nazif stuttering cracking his voice, his face looked pale it seems like all his blood drained from his face due to nervousness ahahahaha he looked cute though, he's so genuine while Aisha looked dumbfounded, and froze there for a while now

            "Yea thank me" Aisha snapped out of it and composed herself immediately then turned away from Nazif, she may sound sharp but I can see pure happiness exploding in her eyes, she's good at hiding her emotions at this moment, but as a woman like her, she's not that good because I can still see her bright smile right through her eyes.... hmmm... it's so transparent, duhh

    I moved my gaze towards Ashtan and Kuzma who's frozen at the moment, they must have understood Nazif's gesture, reading him like a man too ahahahaha. I'm so happy for them, but you see love is blind... the ones undergoing it are totally being blinded not to keep track about what's currently happening to them ahahahaha

            I walked towards Ashtan and Kuzma who were standing near each other without moving, their face just stared at Nazif and their mouths dropped open in awe

            "Hey, the show's done" I poked them both waking them from a very pleasant dream "You've watched enough romance this day, let's get back to training" I stated as I walked towards the center part of the field, I felt them following me silently and slowly, perhaps they still haven't moved on yet

            "Guys! Let's start" I called them, they haven't woken up from that scene yet ahahahaha these men were really hit that hard by what they saw, now they can't get over it "What are guys thinking?" I annoyed them so that they'd snap out of it, I noticed they suddenly composed themselves and acted normal again... do guys often act like this after witnessing romantic scenes? I thought they hated this, it seems like they are the ones that are most affected by it, they're just hiding it out of embarrassment... guys are the sweetest they're just secretive ahahahaha I've seen that from my brother

            "Let's start ahahahaha" Kuzma exclaimed as he laughed and held his sword properly and so as Ashtan, they were both laughing like crazy, they must have noticed that they looked so stupid and funny already

            "Yea, right" Ashtan agreed to him, I just walked towards them, Nazif and Aisha walked towards us but from a different direction, this felt so awkward ahahahaha

            "What's wrong with you? First time to see something like that?" I asked them teasingly as I poked Ashtan lightly on his arm

            "Shut up" he just said in between his chuckles and pointed his sword towards me "You're next" he added and left me hanging in there... what does he mean by 'you're next? I'm next for what? Does he want to kill me?

            "What?" I asked him as I ran to catch him up, anyway where is he going? we're about to start training "Come back here, we're about to start" I called him but he didn't turn to me nor stopped

            "I already know that technique, you should start yourself without me," he said softly while shaking his head off as he continued walking away from me...what's wrong with him?

            "Ok, let's start, he doesn't want to join us" I turned around to face the others calling them to start the training ourselves, they just stared at me with a playful smile... what's wrong with these people, especially Nazif and Aisha who just felt awkward a while ago? Quick change, huh?

            "Yea, enough with that. Let's start" Kuzma snapped out from it and held his sword pointing at us one by one "Into your positions!" he commanded us that we immediately follow. We sat ourselves on the ground and calmed ourselves before we started meditating.
