seconds, please!

Hikaru has three stamps in his pocket, but that's not enough. The adventure continued with one day left. The students grew anxious. Hikaru drove through the forest looking for opponents and magical birds. The sun fell from the sky and hid under the Moon. Hikaru found a field full of unconscious bodies. The air felt heavy and smelled like magic. Bird tweets were hovering around the youngster. A bird glided onto Hikaru's shoulder. Its the magical bird he's looking for.

"Ahhh! That's amazing! I might win!"

"I got you!"

An opponent jumped from Hikaru's shadow and snatched the bird. A robbery chase started. The kids found the finish line. They spotted the advisor and a girl. Hikaru used his powers to summon a rock to trip the thief. The plan worked and Hikaru went to punch the burglar. Punches left marks on the kid and blood gushed out. Hikaru stopped and demanded the student to resign. The child smirked and "shadowed" behind Hikaru. It was the police's turn to get pummelled to the ground. He left Hikaru with tears and blood painting his face and shirt. He assaulted Hikaru from victory and limped to the finish line. Suddenly, the opponent fell to the ground. Hikaru took the bird but shaded tears as he realised that it's not enough to win. The advisor smiled, mimicking a married bride.

"You did it! The medic is ready to heal you."

"what do you mean?"

"you're the tenth person to cross the line. We didn't make the challenge possible. If you didn't realise, the bird has illusion magic that makes everyone who looks at it sleep, it would sit on your shoulder if it judges you worthy then, it would cast a spell and make you sleep. It's my job to pike you up once you pass out"

"I didn't pass out. It must have forgotten to cast the spell. Ha!Ha!Ha!"

(Splash…Splash)

"Wow. The alarm when off. You just managed to win."

Only twenty children passed. They teleported the students to be congratulated by the king.

"Nice seeing you Ella. I hope you're doing well"

(Bowing)

They gifted each person a catalyst for their elemental type. Hikaru denied the gift and requested real money instead. Guards, Students, and the king were shocked. But the king agreed with Hikaru's demand. Staff took the childrens' measurements and handed documents about the school of "Bling Bling". Hikaru was given a bag with one thousand golden coins. The students left the Kingdom and went to their houses. Hikaru went to the closest restaurant and feasted for hours. After dinner, Hikaru saw Ella glaring at his empty plate. She looked at Hikaru and quickly ran away.

"Is that Ella?"

Hikaru felt awful and wanted to give the girl some nutrition. He caught up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She swiftly turned and took a step back. Hikaru was able to look at her gorgeous face, filled with the perfect number of freckles. Her skin pigment looked like a pale coffee, and she had dark brown hair that turns any man on. They both couldn't mutter any word and stood looking at each other's eyes. Ella was ready to take of when Hikaru held her by the shoulders and asked:

"Let me get you food! you look hungry?"

"why would you give a person like me food? I won't give you anything in return."

Hikaru gave every reason for his kindness but Ella refused. She shook out of Hikaru's grips and left him alone. He was heartbroken and fell to the ground. His chance to gain a friend slipped out of his fingers.
