Everyone leaving the sparring room except Instructor, Orhan, and Roy.
"So you are one of the new special entrant students, Orhan," the instructor says with a strict voice.
"Yes, sir," Orhan says.
"And Roy, you have disappointed me with your attitude!" the instructor shouts. "Why did you tell your power to Orhan!?"
"In real life fights with monsters, you will face serious consequences with this loose attitude of yours," the instructor continues.
"Sorry sir, I will remember this and improve on it," Roy says with regret.
"I have to say that you have improved in this battle while fighting with Orhan," the instructor says. "You used your power more effectively than last time."
After that, the instructor looks at Orhan.
"Now Orhan, I noticed that you don't know any type of combat style, but you are good at using your powers with tricks," the instructor continues.
Orhan looks disappointed after hearing this.
"I will improve my combat style," Orhan replies.
"I want to know about which tier your Aether is. And when did you unlock your power?" the instructor asks.
Orhan look at instructor with shocking eyes.
"I recently unlocked my powers and I have Tier-2 Aether," Orhan replies.
"He recently unlocked his power! And with Tier-2 Aether he has this much power?" the instructor thinks. "I have to see his SH-Card to confirm his power level."
"I see. Then give me your SH-Card," the instructor says.
RUSTLE
Orhan puts his hand inside his pants pocket
Orhan brings out his SH-Card and gives it to the instructor.
When the instructor sees Orhan's SH-Card, he is shocked.
"How is this possible? He is really only Tier-2 Fire level and he doesn't have any special talent also, but how can this be possible?" the instructor thinks. "Then how did he break Mivo Stone...?"
"Kid, did anyone do something to your card after you got your card?" the instructor asks.
"Did he notice about me getting a fake mission? Orhan thinks. For now, I can't tell about this to anyone other than my friends."
"No, no one touched my card after I got it," Orhan replies.
"You two can go now," the instructor says.
"I have to search about this kid… maybe he has something that he never told to AGA," the instructor thinks.
Milen walking back and forth continuously in the school yard and Arya sitting on a bench.
"Haaah! Why did the instructor stop them? Did they have something special or did they do something bad!?" Milen says.
"Why don't you think about yourself and train your power and skills! I have 100 wins against you with 0 loss," Arya teases Milen. "I think even Orhan can defeat you easily."
Milen looks at Arya with an angry face.
"Arya!!" Milen shouts and tries to hit Arya with her hands.
SWISH!
Arya tilts his head to avoid Milen's attack and laughs at her.
HAHAHAHA…
"Did I make a baby cry?" Arya teases.
Milen uses invisibility and vanishes into thin air.
FWOOM – fade!
"Arya!!" Roy shouts from a distance.
"Hey, where's Milen?" Orhan asks. "Did she leave already?"
Milen starts to appear from thin air.
SHIMMER – materializing
"So you are here," Roy says.
"Oye Orhan, why did the instructor stop you?" Arya asks.
"Yeah," Milen adds.
"Hmm… it's about our fight. He gave some tips to both of us," Orhan replies.
"Roy and Orhan, let's go to the forest behind the academy to train for the next sparring match!"
Arya's eyes sparkle from hearing "training."
SPARKLE!
"Yeah let's go, I want to check Orhan's power," Arya says. "After watching Orhan and Roy's match, I can't wait to fight him."
"You're not going with us!" Milen says with an angry voice.
"What happened? Why can't Arya go with us?" Orhan asks.
Sigh!
"Arya, did you make fun of her again?" Roy adds.
Milen pouts and looks in a different direction than where Arya is standing.
"Can someone explain to me what happened here?" Orhan asks.
"This jerk made fun of me, just because he is a little bit more skilled than me," Milen replies.
PFFT!
"Little bit!" Arya says.
BONK!
Milen punches Arya on the head and Arya pretends like he failed to avoid that punch and got hit.
"Hey Milen, forgive Arya," Orhan says. "I also want to fight Arya. Roy told me that Arya has a special martial art technique."
"Fine, I am letting him go with us because of Orhan," Milen says. "But if this jerk again makes fun of me then I'll kill him."
"Thanks, bro…" Arya gives a thumbs up in pain.
Five minutes before…
Orhan and Roy left the sparring room and walk in the corridor.
"Where should I learn combat techniques?" Orhan says to himself.
"Hey buddy, you know Arya learned a special technique when he was 12," Roy says. "He defeated a 2nd-year student with that combat technique, and the most interesting part was that student had Combat-Type Aether."
"What! He defeated a Combat-Type Aether user with that special technique?" Orhan replies in shock.
"After watching his power in the sparring ring hearing this story, I want to fight him."Orhan continues.
"You and Arya both are fight fanatics," Roy says.
"What do you mean by we both?" Orhan asks.
"Arya wants to fight everyone who has interesting powers or skills," Roy replies.
They walk a little bit and they see Arya watching something in thin air.
In the present…
Wind flowing from trees and leaves falling birds flying and chirping, animals eating grass and prey.
Sound of walking echoing in jungle.
Milen is avoiding Arya and walking with Orhan and Roy.
"Oye, Orhan. You said you don't know any combat skill," Arya asks.
"Yeah, I never got any training before coming to Hero Academy," Orhan replies.
"Well, you will eventually get some combat training by the instructor — but that's not enough to beat monsters," Arya says. "If you want, I have a personal trainer who can teach you some special martial arts."
"I don't think I can afford this," Orhan says.
"Don't worry, my grandpa assigned him for me and paid him in advance for 5 years — but I don't train from him," Arya replies.
"It's not like he is bad, but I have a special combat skill that needs 10 hours to train and I can't learn so many skills at the same time."Arya continues.
"Still, I can't accept this," Orhan says.
"It's a gift from me for becoming our friend," Arya persists.
"I will accept this gift if Roy will join me in this training," Orhan offers.
"Me?" Roy says.
"Okay, Roy will join you," Arya says.
"I will join too," Milen says.
"Okay, so you three be ready for training, because that trainer is more strict than our sparring instructor," Arya warns them.
Roy is standing on the ground like he doesn't even exist.
"They made the decision for me and didn't even ask my opinion," Roy thinks with blank emotions.
Something walking in the jungle — a fast shadowy figure sitting on a tree, looking at Orhan's group with its big eyes and big teeth surging with saliva.
GRRRR… SLURP…
Arya senses something and disappears from Orhan and others' sight.
WHOOSH – vanish!
"What!? Where did Arya go?" Orhan asks.
"I don't have any idea…" Roy replies.
"Did he also sense that evil presence? But where did he go? It's dangerous if that evil creature catches him alone," Orhan thinks.
A fast wind blows
WHOOOOOOSH!
and without any sound a shadow appears — someone is holding something in his hand.
When Orhan and the others look closely — they are shocked, because it is Arya, and he is holding a Rex Monkey's head in his hands.
DRIP… DRIP… blood falling
Blood dripping from that monkey's head and its internal organs cut so finely like a machine did this.
BLEEEERGH!
Milen pukes after watching this scene and Roy supports her to recover.
"Arya, what's this?" Orhan asks. "And what are you doing with this High level monster in your hands?"
"You mean this monkey? He was about to attack us when we were talking — so I just killed him to prevent something bad happening," Arya replies.
"He just killed a high-level monster like nothing…?" Orhan thinks. "I struggled to capture a real mid-level monster, but he killed a high-level monster…"
"Hey, are you alright?" Roy asks Milen.
"I am fine now," Milen replies.
Orhan… Orhan… Orhan…!!
Milen is saying Orhan's name — but he is stunned after watching Arya's power.
"Oye Orhan, let's go bro," Arya says. "I don't have that much time, and I want to fight you today before going to my training."
"Orhan, didn't you heard my voice Or Arya is more important than us!" Milen asks with frustration.
"I was just thinking about something." Orhan replies.
"Than next time don't ignore me." Milen says.
They continue to find a perfect location to train and fight.
