Around 7 PM...
Raye, Devin, Lycus, and Jerusha got back to the cabin.
"Oh, you kids are here. Help prepare the table so we can eat."
Old Man Rey greeted them.
"Sure, let us handle it."
Raye replied to him.
"Mhm."
Lycus, Devin, and Jerusha nodded their heads with a smile on their faces as a response.
And with that...
Fwish—
They started preparing the food that the Old Man cooked and setting up the table.
And after they were done...
"Pyro, Zephyrus! Dinner is ready!"
Old Man Rey exclaid that.
Fwish—
-ep!
-We're here!
And when the two arrived and landed on the table...
"Okay, let's eat."
The Old Man said.
""Thanks for the food.""
Raye, Jerusha, and Lycus mumbled.
"Thanks!"
Devin exclaid.
-ep!
-Thank you for the dinner.
Pyro and Zephyrus followed.
And then—
Nom—
The seven of them started eating.
...
As they were eating...
"Ah..."
Old Man Rey rembered sothing.
"...?"
Raye and the others stopped eating and glanced at him, curious.
Then, opening his mouth—
"I forgot to say earlier, but congratulations on winning the tournant yesterday, Devin."
The Old Man declared, looking at Devin!
-ep ep!
-Oh, good job.
Pyro and Zephyrus congratulated him too!
And hearing them...
"Haha, thanks."
Devin bashfully replied, smiling ear to ear!
Raye, Jerusha, and Lycus smiled too. They were happy for him.
They all then continued eating while talking about the tournant.

After having dinner...
Devin and Lycus cleaned up the table and dishes.
And when they finished, around 8 PM...
"We'll be going now."
"Bye!"
They decided to head back to their dorm.
"See you tomorrow!"
"Bye."
Jerusha and Raye saw them off.
Then, after saying their goodbyes...
Fwish—
Devin and Lycus turned their backs against them and started walking away.
"They look like a married couple, and we're just so friends who visited them and are about to leave."
Lycus whispered to Devin, glancing back and seeing Raye and Jerusha standing side by side, waving at them.
"..."
Lycus waved back at them, smiling.
"Right? How can they not be dating?"
Devin whispered back, waving to Raye and Jerusha too.
Then—
"... "
Lycus and Devin looked at each other.
And after a while...
"h."

They just shrugged their shoulders and decided not to think about it any further.
'They'll co around.'
Devin thought.
Then, glancing at Lycus...
'Hopefully, he'll co around too.'
He added that!
...
After Devin and Lycus left—
"Urgh...!"
Raye started training again with spirits.
"Just a little more concentration..."
Jerusha was with him.
Anyway, Raye was trying to change the size of Zephyrus.
-...
Zephyrus had a frown on his face, feeling slight stings all over his body.
Then, after a while—
Fwish—
He beca slightly smaller!
And seeing that—
"Ah! You did it!"
Jerusha exclaid excitedly!
Fwoop—
Raye retreated his mana, and with a smile...
"Haaaaaa..."
He let out an exhausted sigh.
Then, glancing at Jerusha—
"Thanks for staying with ."
Raye said that.
But Jerusha, crossing her arms—
"Don't ntion it. It's nothing special."
She just brushed it off, smiling sweetly.
anwhile, as the two of them were talking...
-Listen, Pyro.
Zephyrus called out to the little fire spirit.
-ep?
Pyro tilted his head, looking at him.
Fwoosh—
Zephyrus flew closer to him.
And opening his beak—
-You need to get stronger too, not just Raye, your contractor.
He declared that!
-ep...
Pyro blinked, slightly surprised.
-If Raye grows but you stay weak, you'll just be a burden to him in battle.
Then Zephyrus added, folding his tiny wings.
Hearing that—
-ep!
Pyro imdiately shook his head!
He doesn't want to be a burden!
And with a resolute expression on his face—
-ep.
Pyro chirped.
Zephyrus nodded, seeing his face.
And with a smile—
-Good...
-Then let's begin, I'll teach you a few tricks on how to get stronger.
He said that!
-ep!
Pyro nodded eagerly.
And with that...
Raye, Zephyrus, Pyro, and even Jerusha—the four of them continued training for a bit more!
...
9 PM arrived...
Jerusha decided to head back to her dorm.
"I'll accompany you back again today."
Raye muttered.
And while smiling ear to ear and blushing—
"Hehe, okay."
Jerusha simply replied with a giggle.
And with that...
Tap- tap- tap—
The two of them left and started walking away.
Zephyrus and Pyro were still training outside the cabin, they were going to wait for Raye to co back.
*****
Around 10 PM...
Creak—
"Fuuuu..."
Raye got back to the cabin and entered his room.
-I'm tired...
-eeeep...
Zephyrus and Pyro were perched on each of his shoulders.
Poff—
Raye lay down on his bed. Zephyrus and Pyro followed.
"..."
Raye closed his eyes, exhausted.
"..."
He remained still, not doing anything.
But just after a few seconds—
"Hup!"
He shot back up and sat on the bed.
His eyes were wide open.
-...?
Zephyrus and Pyro looked at him weirdly.
Fwish—
Raye looked at Zephyrus.
Then, opening his mouth—
"I'm going to take another enhancent pill, help ."
He mumbled that!
And Zephyrus...
-Bruh.
He frowned after hearing that!
-It's ti to sleep!
Zephyrus exclaid.
But still, looking straight at him...
"I want to get much stronger."
Raye muttered that with a serious expression on his face.
-Gugh...
Zephyrus groaned.
Then, finally, after a few monts—
-Ugh, fine...
Zephyrus decided to agree on helping Raye!
-e...eeep...
Pyro, not sure what was happening and exhausted, ignored the two of them and went to sleep.
...
...
"How many should I take?"
Raye asked Zephyrus, sitting in a lotus position.
-How many do you have left?
Zephyrus replied with a question too.
"Three."
Raye simply responded.
Then, with a nod of his head—
-Then take three.
Zephyrus said that!
And that's not all—
-Take them all at the sa ti.
He followed that!
"What?!"
Raye shouted, confused.
"I thought you said not to take more than one at the sa ti?"
He asked.
-That's right.
Zephyrus casually replied.
"Then why?"
Raye followed.
And this ti, without beating around the bush...
-Raye, you're talented in taking drugs.
Zephyrus declared that!
"???"
Raye tilted his head and frowned, he was confused as fuck.
