It was already late at night and the city was buried in silence. Agustin was sitting on the balcony watching the moon that was peeking through clouds. He took a deep breath from his cigarette.   "Just what kind of a mess I get myself into?"   He kept thinking the same thing for a while now. The job was an odd one. Finding a stone that has mysterious energy? Look for it in an abandoned church full of trash? He would take it as nonsense if not for it coming directly from the big boss of the organization he was part of.   He wasn't an innocent person. He was part of an illegal organization that has a pretty bad history with the government. They are criminals who have done very bad things. Murder, theft, and even human trafficking at some point. Obviously, the boss of this kind of organization can't be someone normal. In the country of Utuvis, he was the most wanted criminal.   Agustin looked at the two

"I'm being haunted by the spirits of the leaky ceiling." (Jason) "What?" (Rick) "While we were at the class, drops of water kept falling on my head. But whenever I look up I couldn't find where that god damn waterfalls?!" (Jason) "..." (Rick)   Rick couldn't find a word to utter. Seeing Jason telling weird things with a serious face is probably shocking for him.   Right now we are sitting in the cafeteria. The morning lessons are over and we are having our lunch break. We sit at the table right next to the door of the cafeteria after getting our meals. At our table, I, Jason, Rick, Matt, Mason, and Lucas. We are friends from back in middle school. Not all of us are at the best friends level but still we are all on good terms.   Rick Ortiz. When we were in middle school he was in the next classroom. He is a good guy but I never have talked much with him while we were in middle school. I don't know

"Start!"   With the signal of mister Weaver, the football match started. Oscar gets the ball and rushed to the enemy goal. From the enemy team, someone with blonde hair tried to block his path but Oscar passed the ball to his teammate who is behind him.   The teammate who got passed by Oscar, Matt, quickly caught the ball and move towards the enemy goal. The same blonde came to get the ball but Matt gets past him in an instant with his footwork. But after the blonde two more people were blocking his path.   One of the two was Owain. He just rushed to Matt and before he could escape he get the ball. After getting the ball Owain moved forward. When Jason saw this he was surprised by it. they didn't plan it like this. In their plan, Owain was supposed to pass the ball to him if he caught it.   "Owain! What are you doing ?" "Do not worry I will score a goal!" "Is that so ?"  

"I will now teach you about the basics of water magic. While I can't really teach you how I do it, I can still guide you so you can grasp it yourself."   Kairi stood in front of me and declared with a firm voice. We are now at the cave. After school, I went home and change my clothes, and had a meal. After that, I directly came to the cave. Now that I pay attention to the path of the cave I was surprised. The cave is at least ten meters underground. But thanks to the tiny tunnels Akane opened air circulation is quite good.   After the emergency yesterday, she was asleep for about twenty hours. When she finally woke up she was quite energetic. When I asked the reason it made me a little surprised.   "When we made the contract I gave Spirit Mana to your body as you know. And as your Aether Organ began to near completion, it produce more mana. It isn't complete yet so the amount is minimal. But that amount flows to my body

(Agustin POV)   I need to find something. I should at least have some clues about what happened back then. The more I think about it, the more it becomes blurry and unrecognizable. The other two aren't even aware of what is going on. Well, I'm not exactly aware of everything too.   Right now, I'm just trusting my instincts. They are screaming at me that something is wrong. Why did I leave the church? Where did I go after leaving the church?   There are lots of questions on my mind. The other two are even worse. They are completely traumatized. Whenever they remember the church they start shaking and pass out soon after.   I'm looking for clues now. Both to solve this weird feeling and to find something to please the boss. I need to complete this mission to get close to him. Ugh... Things I do for her...   I should get things straight. We came into the church. We were looking for
