24 Chapter 24: External Spirit Bone
When they get back to academy, everyone went their way to get some rest. Since Rai doesn't feel tired, he decide to head out for a night walk. When walking around the school for a while, Rai saw Tang San talking with Rongrong. 'They must be talking about hidden weapon. Should I tell Xiao Wu so she doesn't misunderstand?' Rai thought as he continue walking. 'Na, Rongrong will tell everyone tomorrow.'
As Rai head back to his room, he remember 'Right tomorrow is the day Tang San discover that he got an external spirit bone from the spider and his master will be arriving too. Alright I'll watch the fun drama tomorrow and wait until Xiao Wu talk to Tang San before telling them the truth' Rai smile deviously. 'I should also stop Fatty from going so he doesn't get himself poisoned.'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Rai got up and find that Seika sneaked into his bed again. He sigh, got ready for the day and wake Seika up before going out to meet the other. When Rai went out to meet everyone with Seika he saw that everyone is gather together beside for Tang San and Rongrong.
"Anyone know where the two missing people are?" Rai asked pretending not to know.
"I didn't see Tang San when I woke up." Oscar answer since he and Tang San are roommate.
"Right then, why don't we go get breakfast in the city. I am sure they can find us if we eat in our usual spot." Rai told them. Everyone agree, especially Fatty.
They manage to ran into Tang San with Rongrong when they reach the city. Seeing them together, Fatty made fun of them for being like a couple. It made Seika happy thinking that Rongrong won't be bothering Rai anymore, made Xiao Wu jealous and made Rongrong step on his foot telling him not to cause misunderstanding. Rongrong sneak a peak at Rai and saw that he wasn't bother with what Fatty said. This made her have some mix feeling wondering if Rai didn't react because he didn't like her that way or because he know she and Tang San weren't together.
Meanwhile Rai was thinking to himself 'What am I suppose to do in this situation?' He turn toward Oscar and saw that Oscar didn't have much of a reaction. 'Huh? he didn't fall for Rongrong? Must be because he didn't spend that much time with her.' Rai concluded.
They made their way into the restaurant as Rongrong told them she will explain to why she was with Tang San so not to cause any misunderstanding. She explain that support class spirit master are weak by themselves, so she was asking if Tang San can sell his weapon to her clan. This made Xiao Wu sigh in relief and Seika a little grumpy until Rongrong show them the sleeved arrow that Tang San give her as an example for her clan.
When Xiao Wu saw the weapon, she got angry and left. Seeing her like that Zhuqing told Tang San to go after her which he did. After waiting for a while Fatty got impatient but he didn't leave this time as he got Oscar to talk to while Rongrong is having a staring contest with Seika.
Rai thought it was about time for Tang San and Xiao Wu to finish up so he said "I'll go see how those two are doing and bring them back." as he get up to leave. He get outside, see a bunch of birds flying away from something and figure that it must have been Tang San. Rai activate Godspeed and quickly makes his way toward them.
When Rai arrive and saw Tang San he Xiao Wu staring at each other with what feel like a fluffy pink background behind them.
*cough" Rai fake cough to get their attention. Tang San and Xiao Wu then break out of there little world embarrassed as they didn't notice Rai there at all.
"How long have you been them." Tang San ask.
"Long enough" Rai just smile at them. "Anyway congrats on getting an external spirit bone. Those are really rare."
"External spirit bone?" Tang San ask
"Right. Spirit bone are drop by spirit beast if certain condition are met and external spirit bones are the rarest of the bunch. You must have absorb the spirit bone when you were absorbing the ring of the Man Faced Demon Spider." Rai told them which made Tang San was relief to know that he didn't become a monster.
"You should hide them and until you talk to the teacher first. It will be easy to do so and should feel natural to you." Rai told Tang San knowing that Tang San's master will be there later. "Anyway, come on, the other are waiting for you two so we can eat." Rai told them as he left.
Rai brought Tang San and Xiao Wu back to the restaurant. Everyone see that Xiao Wu and Tang San made up so they happily invite those two back to the table and everyone finally get to eat.
When they get back to the academy, Flender introduce Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's master to everyone. Flender told everyone that Yu Xiaogang will be a new teacher at Shrek and he will be in charge of their special training.
Tang San was a little surprise that his master was here but he was also happy because now he can ask his master about external spirit bones. After the introduction was complete, Yu Xiaogang told everyone to meet up for the special training tomorrow. As Yu Xiaogang was going to leave, Tang San quickly catch up to him and ask him to talk in private.
'Wonder what I'm going to do tomorrow?' Rai thought to himself. 'I already did the bowl breaking thing when I was little. Wonder if he will make me do something else.'
"RAI" x2
Hearing his name, Rai turn around and see Seika and Rongrong calling out to him. Rai sigh as he saw them glare at each other again after calling out to him at the same time. "Do you two need something" Rai said pretending not to notice anything.
"Yes, I was wondering if you have any idea of what we will be doing tomorrow?" Seika ask, in truth she just wanted to spend more time with Rai.
"I think that we are going to either train in spirit power control or do physical excises." Rai told them
"Why do you think that?" Rongrong ask this time.
"I can't really think of anything else we can be doing tomorrow. Anyway I have something to do so I will be going." Rai said running away from his problem.
