Making their way to a restaurant, Noah and Jas talked a bit, "How was your stay in Vonol?", Jas Said. "Uneventful". Noah stated while shrugging.
Noticing Noah's cold face as they walked on the streets, Jas couldn't help but ask. "Dude, what's up with your face", he asked with an eyebrow raised.
Not understanding what Jas ant, Noah opened his mouth to talk, "Is there sothing wrong?", he said touching his face.
Noticing Noah's confusion, Jas held back his laughter before saying, "Oh yes there is sothing wrong with your face",
At that point, Noah's steps ca to a halt, many things ran through his mind, until he understood what was going on, "Oh, you an my expression", he replied.
Raising an eyebrow at how fast Noah understood, Jas nodded. Seeing his response, Noah sighed before replying, "Well stuff happened while you were gone and let's say, I was forced to result to this", Noah explained with a light shrug.
This got Jas curious but he decided to leave the matter, after all they had gotten to their destination.
Entering the restaurant, and ordering food. Noah watched with pure disgust, as Jas wolfed down multiple plates, without the slightest curtsey.
After he was done, Jas relaxed, then noticed Noah's look. "What?, I haven't eaten for a whole month, what did you expect?", He said rolling his eyes.
Clearing his throat, Noah gave a helpless smile, the man was right.
He waited a few minutes to let Jas digest his series of als, before starting the conversation that had been on his mind for a whole month.
"So what next?", Noah said. At those words, Jas sighed, "You couldn't even let rest for a bit longer", he replied snorting.
Shrugging his shoulders, Noah replied, "We only have a bit over three weeks before the gas start", he said.
Sighing at the fact that Noah was right, he opened his mouth to talk, "Well we can start the preparations, though I am sure you are ready, so give two days to get used to my new strength", Jas explained.
Nodding his head, Noah opened his mouth to talk, "Do you want to be your sparring partner?", Noah offered with a smile.
Thinking about it, Jas replied, "Why not".

Inside a random clearing in the forest, if one looked, they would notice two young n, but the detail that made this scene special, was the fact that, one of them was dodging projectiles of condensed water with relative ease, while the other, which was the attacker was moving around trying to get his spells to hit the other person.
Of course these young n were both Noah and Jas.
Noah had brought up a challenge and Jas agreed to it, the challenge was that if Jas managed to land a hit on Noah with his spells, he would win. Jas had thought it would be easy, but now he wasn't so sure.
Noah was moving at speeds even his tier 2 eyes couldn't catch, and not a single spell had managed to hit Noah once, in the over thirty minutes they had been at it!!!.
"Is this all, I think I can take a nap between your attacks", Noah taunted, while dodging around ten bullets made of condensed water, they hit so trees and the result was those trees being fell.
Truth be told, if not for his passive slow motion perception skill, Noah knew he would have a bit of trouble dodging Jas spells, not because they were too fast, no because of their numbers.
According to Jas the spell 'Water bullets', were easy to cast and had incredibly low Mana consumption, and each cast created five water bullets.
Casting 'Water bullets", three ti In one second, Jas knew he had beaten his fastest cast ti multiple tis. Ignoring Noah's taunt, Jas decided to change approach.
Rasing his hands up, Jas cast a spell, 'Rain of droplets', he muttered.
And imdiately, a blue magic circle expanded a few ters above them, then imdiately hundreds of bullets made of condensed water rained down at high speeds. After he cast the spell Jas face turned pale, he seed to have used a lot of Mana on that spell.
Watching the magic circle, and the rain of bullets in slow motion, Noah cursed under his breath, he seed to have forced Jas to take extra action.
Seeing their many numbers, Noah was forced to use his weapon.
Retrieving his brown staff from his inventory, Noah crouched slightly.
Raising his staff above him, he executed 'Wave', breathing in and out, in a rythmic pattern, Mana flowed out of Noah's body and wrapped around the staff, which he then spinned thrice, and on the forth instead of a spin he waved the staff to his left side.
Imdiately that happened, there seed to be a slight ripple in space, when suddenly the incoming rain of water bullets seed to co to a halt, just for a second, when their fall resud, their direction slanted to Noah's left side, completely missing him.
Heaving a light sigh at the tily execution, Noah glanced at Jas, and saw that almost puke blood from surprise, "How did you do that?, isn't that against the rules", Jas said his eye wide open from the scene.
"There weren't any rules that I couldn't use my weapon, if I was connered", Noah replied with a mocking smile, while spinning his staff lightly.
At those words Jas wanted to kill sothing, but couldn't, he felt like he had been wronged, but Noah was right. There had been no rule that he couldn't use his weapon.
"Though, what martial arts do you use, I've never seen anything like that, and that wasn't a spell", Jas asked, while he sat down to rest.
"It's a secret", Noah said placing one of his fingers on his lips.
Raising an eyebrow at his gesture, Jas didn't push the matter. "So what should we do next?", Noah asked, quickly changing the topic.
Understanding what Noah was doing, Jas played along, "I don't know. Now that you've showed off, and left drained of Mana, how about when I'm done we go for a little hunting, you know for better bonding". Jas replied, sitting crossed legged to cultivate, and refill his Mana pool.
Smiling at his offer, Noah opened his mouth to talk, "Yeah ok. Nature calleth , I'll be back", He said, turning to a seemingly random direction, and started walking.
Though it wasn't actually a random direction. Through out their spar, Noah had left his ntal waves unfolded, he was still wary of the noble families attacks, and his ntal waves had picked sothing up.
Walking for a few seconds, Noah eyes sharpened, as his figure disappeared, flashing in front of his target, Noah's right hand shot forward, to grab the person's head.
"Please don't hurt ", the voice of a young man rang out.
Noah couldn't help but be taken aback from those words.
Wearing his cold expression, Noah opened his mouth to talk, "What were you doing following us?", he said, Lightning flickering around his figure, to make sure the person knew he wasn't joking around.
Seeing Noah's cold face, and the flickering sparks, the young man began to shake, but he still replied, "I was only following you, because my sister said she liked you, I just wanted to see what you were like". The young man, who looked younger than Noah replied.
At those words, Noah's mind spun, 'Nani' he said inwardly, 'his sister?, there were so many girls that tried to walk up to him after the first girl did.
"I don't believe you, give a better reason, or you'll be visiting god", Noah said as more Lightning flickered around him.
"Please I'm telling you the truth", the guy said, as he started to sob.
At that sight, Noah was at loss of what to do. "What is your na?', he eventually said.
"I'm Duke, sir", the young man said.
"Duke do you want to get killed?", Noah asked threateningly.
"No, no, sir", Duke replied imdiately.
"Then don't go trailing people, they might get the wrong idea", Noah said letting go of him, and straightening his position in a intimidating way.
[Duke]
[Tier: 1]
[Level: 22]
[Chances of death: 0%]
Confirming his na, Noah opened his mouth to talk, "I'll count three, if I still see you...", Noah said letting the young man complete it himself.
"One...
two...
three", Noah counted, he heard so rustles among the bushes and trees, then opened his eyes. The guy was gone, to confirm it, Noah expanded his ntal waves, seeing that he found nothing, Noah heaved a light sigh, before turning and walking back to Jas position.
"That was long, did anything happen?", Jas said imdiately he sensed Noah.
"Oh nothing happened, are you ready?", Noah replied.
Getting up from the ground, Jas dusted himself and replied, "Yup, let's go hunting."
