Sizhi's facts made Jyu think hard. Now that the memories of the past, as well as his skills, seemed to be clearly pictured, Jyu remembered important things!

  Before being killed by deadly poison, Jyu was a young man who lived on the outskirts of the city. His life was very difficult, which is why he had to be clever in everything. Jyu was quite tough in fighting, and his brain was no less intelligent. In the past, he was known as a young man skilled at deception. Every word that came out of his mouth could always influence people. In a sense, he was the most maniputive person in his area.

  Remembering this made Jyu realize that possessing Kuma’s power was a destiny.

  “This is my destiny!” he said.

  This was a very long night for Jyu. On the one hand, he came to know all the veils of his demon power. But on the other side, he had to face punishment for his previous behaviour.

  If Jyu was healthy enough, he was scheduled to return to the DV Army headquarters tomorrow morning. The trial was already waiting for him, preventing him from sleeping as he thought about it. Jyu grew more worried, afraid of being thrown into prison or perhaps something even worse.

  But no one knew Jyu’s fate next. Surely his mistake would be paid dearly, whether with suffering or death. His thoughts were chaotic until they made his heart pound in fear.

  ---

  Jyu’s body condition recovered quickly. Today, he and Sizhi would return to the DV Army headquarters. Sizhi would of course immediately resume his training, while Jyu had to undergo judgment.

  Wirtz was assigned to escort both of them. Since 7 in the morning, he had arrived and brought these two DV Army students directly back to the headquarters inside the forest.

  “Control yourself! You are no longer an ordinary human, you must not act foolishly like yesterday,” said Wirtz who began advising Jyu during the journey.

  “I understand, forgive me!” Jyu answered briefly.

  The atmosphere inside the car became awkward. Everyone was silent, including Sizhi who only stared at the road with an empty gaze. Not long after, they finally arrived at the DV Army headquarters.

  “Jyu, follow me!” ordered Wirtz.

  “Sizhi, it’s up to you whether you want to train immediately or rest first.”

  Without further words Jyu immediately followed Wirtz who was walking quickly toward the elevator and went down to the first floor. But when the elevator doors opened, Master Jenna had already greeted them with an intimidating smile.

  “Hey, have you recovered?” she said.

  “Come with me now!”

  These words made Wirtz a little confused, because Jyu had to be judged immediately in the courtroom. “Sorry, Master Jenna, Jyu must take responsibility for his actions first.”

  “Maybe Sizhi can go with Master Jenna,” Wirtz said again.

  Master Jenna immediately gave a sharp look that made anyone who saw it feel afraid. “That’s your business! My business now is to go with Jyu and Sizhi.”

  There was no more negotiation, Wirtz did not want to argue anymore. He obeyed and allowed Jyu to go.

  “Jyu, Sizhi, you come with me. We’re going to have fun outside,” said Master Jenna.

  Of course, both of them immediately obeyed and followed Master Jenna out of the DV Army Headquarters.

  “Who can drive a car?”

  Jyu and Sizhi immediately looked at each other. “I can, Master,” said Sizhi softly.

  “Alright! You drive the car,” ordered Master Jenna.

  The three of them were now inside a sedan. Sizhi drove, Jyu sat beside him, while Master Jenna y down in the back seat. Now the three of them were heading to a beach located quite far away.

  More or less they had to travel for three hours to get there. Sizhi focused on driving, while Jyu provided directions by using the Google Maps guide. Meanwhile, Master Jenna slept soundly with a slight snore.

  In truth, Jyu and Sizhi were afraid at this moment. Both could only remain silent, hoping not to encounter any serious obstacles while with Master Jenna.

  “Hey, are we really going to enter this beach area?” Sizhi asked Jyu when they were almost at the intended beach.

  “Look at that!” said Sizhi while pointing to a rge tree across the road.

  “Forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter,” said Jyu while reading the writing attached to the big tree.

  Both of them were confused, Sizhi even slowed down the car.

  “But this is the correct direction, we’re not wrong. This is indeed the road to the beach,” said Jyu, trying to convince Sizhi.

  “Should we just continue the journey, or maybe you want to wake up Master Jenna?”

  “No! Let’s continue the journey,” answered Sizhi firmly.

  Now the car moved again at a moderate speed. In an instant, from a distance, the beach they were heading to could already be seen. The view was very beautiful, and the hills fnked this beach. The waves were calm, and the atmosphere was very quiet.

  “Have we arrived?” Master Jenna suddenly woke up and asked in a frightening voice.

  Jyu and Sizhi were extremely startled. “Not yet, eh, yes Master, we have arrived at the beach,” said Jyu a little nervous answering his teacher’s question.

  “Stop at that hut,” said Master Jenna while pointing at a hut not far from the shoreline. “We will stay overnight here.”

  “What...? But this is a forbidden pce, Master?” asked Jyu, who was slightly afraid.

  “Fufufufu! Indeed, this is a forbidden pce. Now you two look for fish or anything edible. And don’t forget to look for firewood for a bonfire,” ordered Master Jenna.

  Now Jyu and Sizhi immediately searched for food ingredients. “Why do we end up like sves?” protested Jyu, who felt unwilling to be ordered around like this.

  “If you don’t want to be beaten again by Master Jenna, you'd better just follow her orders,” said Sizhi softly.

  For some reason, in this difficult moment, Sizhi began to open up. He seemed to start opening himself, especially with Jyu. When invited to communicate, he was no longer as cold as before. Sizhi even began to dare to express his ideas.

  “I have an idea, it’s better if we just fish. With my demon power, it seems fishing is not a difficult thing,” he said.

  “That’s a good idea! Alright, now you fish, and I will look for firewood and other food ingredients,” expined Jyu.

  Sizhi’s demon, Svider, appeared and immediately flew into the sky to catch fish. With its threads, this demon was able to ensnare fish on the surface. In an instant, he had already obtained several fish of various sizes.

  Meanwhile, Jyu chose to walk in the hilly area that had dense vegetation. He also quickly gathered the wood scattered on the ground. Jyu also used his bck sword to chop the wood into small pieces, making it easy to carry.

  Now the two of them had gathered again, bringing food ingredients and firewood. Jyu and Sizhi decided to return to the hut where Master Jenna was.

  “So fast?” she said when she saw Jyu and Sizhi coming.

  “Immediately make a bonfire and cook those fish,” she ordered again.

  Without much protest, they immediately carried out every instruction from Master Jenna. With great effort, they prepared a meal for their teacher. It took quite a while for this dish to be served.

  As evening approached, the three of them had eaten the grilled fish heartily. But there was a slight strangeness, the atmosphere became tense, making Jyu and Sizhi afraid.

  Actually, the weather was cloudy, and the wind was also blowing strongly, but Jyu and Sizhi were sweating instead. Both of them now felt the aura of mystical creatures threatening their safety. It was just that neither of them dared to tell or ask Master Jenna about it.

  “You are afraid, aren’t you? It is indeed time for them to appear!” said Master Jenna suddenly.

  “Who?” asked Sizhi in a frightened voice.

  “Fufufufu! Mystical creatures, this is their territory. Soon we will fight them,” answered Master Jenna with a satisfied ugh.
