(Part 8)

"Well, in my case. I want to get a whole lots of data on my hands from around the world! That thrill of knowing your opponent the best is just the greatest!" Cassiel told proudly. The boys looked at him speechless. "He is crazy for data… I wonder how many books he would've already written on me up until now." Feng gulped.

Cassiel smirked evilly, "Oh~ it's my fourth journal on your report!" "Yikes!" Feng freaked hiding behind Xavier who chuckled. "What about you Ezekiel?" asked Seraph. Ezekiel looked at him lazily, "What's the point of even asking me?" Helios upon his comment twitched his brow annoyed. "Ah! Right it was our mistake, please forgive us, we even asked." he replied back on his face.

Ezekiel looked at his back teary eyed, "Wahh~! Captain doesn't even care about me!! Vice-captain Poseidon! Why do you even stay friends with someone like him?! Did you see he just smacked his question back on my face!!" he embracing him. "Haha… don't be upset. He was just joking." Poseidon consoled. Helios clicked his tongue, "I should just throw him out of the team straight into a river so he won't ever feel lazy again for the rest of his life." .

"Wahhh!!!" Ezekiel cried even louder, "Captain is a beast! A monster! Wahh!" "There, there, he was just joking." Xavier patted his back while Feng ruffled his head. Adam and Ryan looked at them sighing. "Why do I feel that this idiotic family is growing larger day by day?" Adam asked confused, "What a feeling of Déjà vu…" "What about you Gabriel?" Kenzo asked, grasping his silhouette from the corner of his eye who walked silently for a long while. "I don't have any particular interest in that number one thing or what so ever, until its cricket I'll play no matter what." he replied straightforwardly.

"As expected of you the demon of this team even though your name is of an angel." Helios complimented mocking him at the same time which Gabriel pretended to ignore. "What about you, Seraph?" he asked. "Me? Oh, until Adam and Cassiel are fine with it and everyone else is happy I can play all I want. But to tell you the truth, I want to face all strong players out there and improve myself in every way possible." Seraph answered.

"Seems right huh?" Kenzo whispered. "I, on the contrary want to step out there and tell them that there can only be one king that rules this world and it will be me! Also that Rauf! I want to teach him a kind lesson once in a while." he fumed.

"Heeh~ pretty big words coming from someone like you." Ryan teased. "You brat… it's not just words, I'll prove it!" Kenzo smirked. "We'll see about that, you fake king…" Ryan teased rolling his eyes.

"Now whose left? We'll be reaching the dorms soon anyway so speak up!" Kenzo asked eyeing them. "Hm… Xavier, Ryan, Helios, Feng and Ezekiel are left." Cassiel pointed out. "Leave the last one aside." Kenzo sighed. "As for me, I don't know? Until I can play with Vice-captain Xavier, Ryan and the others it's fine. It's not like I have any other thing to do." Feng told.

"Another lousy, aim." commented Azazel in disbelief. "Hey, yours wasn't any better." Heber rolled his eyes. Azazel stared slightly annoyed. "Come on Helios~ it can't be that bad that you won't even speak it!" Adam urged. "I told you, it was a secret. So I better keep it a secret." Helios declared.

"Come on Heli, it would be unfair if you were the only one who won't say a word when all others did. It's not fair or is it?" Poseidon asked smiling. Helios glanced back at him helpless, "Not you as well…" "Alright, alright, there is a player I want to beat. An all-rounder, he is my pride and ambition." Helios told finally accepting his loss. "Like an idol?" Heber asked intrigued.

Helios nodded, "The reason I stared to play was because I met him that day. So, I want to stand before him and challenge him to show him how much I hace progressed till now." Helios replied. "Eh~ so it's an admiration sort of thing huh? As expected from the Unbreakable pillar." admired Heber. "It's not something that admirable." Helios replied. "What about you Xavier? Anything in mind?" Helios asked turning around.

"Nothing much…" Xavier responded. "Huh? But, shouldn't you be having an aim greater than any one of us here since you have to get back at Hugo?" asked Kenzo. Xavier smiled, "Not everything you want to reach can be attained so easily, I wish to take it step by step until the time comes." Moreover, I really want to see how playing the outside world feels like." he continued.

Ryan, Helios and Kenzo looked at him silently. Neither of them asking another word further. "Now then, only you are left little prince, mind to keep your words forward?" asked Kenzo rolling his eyes. Ryan smirked. "What is there to keep forward? Isn't the answer simple? I want to surpass all of you here and outside there and stand on the top!" he exclaimed. "Heeh~ boy, you sure have a lots of guts huh?" Helios glnaced cunningly.

"You cheeky brat! Don't think of us as pushovers!" declared Gabriel irritated. "Moreover, I'll do anything I want, until Vice-captain Xavier and the others are by my side watching over me." Ryan stated. "Heeh… that will be hard." Feng chuckled awkwardly, "You only need us to clean up your messes after all."

Xavier shook his head smiling. "Well, in the end we all have one aim. To face the world aren't I right?" Seraph asked. "Seems so." replied Kenzo resolved as they all stood in front of the dorm. "The others must be worried." Azazel realized. "Let's go!" Heber called out rushing in. "Hey, Hey hold on your horses both of you!" uttered Kenzo grabbing them both from their collars.

"What is it, captain?" the two of them asked together. "No need to rest while we go in, we have to get ourselves freshened up and head to the first stadium for the whole night. So you better keep your paces up, with all the leisure that we have had to walk up to here already took 13 minutes of our half hour." Helios told. "Huh? That means we only have 17 more minutes to go?!" asked Heber and Ezekiel together. "Seems like it." Xavier replied. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's run?!" exclaimed Feng as the others too barged inside the dorm hall.

"We are back!!" Adam yelled rushing inside like a tornado. The other boys looked at them as smiled lit up their faces. "You're all back?!" asked one of them rushing towards Seraph and Adam. "Yes, we are back Luka however…" Seraph spoke. "However what?" asked the other two who had surrounded Helios and Poseidon.

"We don't have time, we have to get changed and rush back to the first stadium in less than 15 minutes." Helios told. "What?! But you came right now and are leaving again? Weren't you all practicing since dusk?" another one asked Xavier and Ryan. "Well, we got punished since we didn't make it back on time. So, we have to stand up the whole night and climb the mountain tomorrow again." Kenzo rushed into the restroom.

"No way… is this true?" asked another one who eyed Xavier while Feng and Ryan who too left to take a bath. "It's true, Mikael. We've got no choice, so will you help us?" Xavier asked. The boys looked at each other nodding, "Of course! We will. But, isn't this a bit too harsh? How will you climb the mountain if you don't sleep brother?" asked another one. Gabriel eyed the little boy who grasped the towel before him coming out of the restroom.

"Who do you think your brother is? Be it night or day, there's no way we'll lose to that Damn Goldie's words." he uttered irritated. "Hey, Damian. Where is my shirt?" asked Azazel coming out of the restroom dripping wet. "And my comb!" Heber followed behind. "Here you go both of you, causing trouble all the time." Damian sighed, handing them the shirt and the comb.

"Thanks" replied the two of them together. "Hey Cassiel and Adam, would you eat something?" asked another one as they bought fruits from the kitchen. "Ah! Thank you! I was so hungry!!" Adam smiled gulping the fruits down in one go and suddenly choking himself. "Easy there…" cautioned Seraph dabbing his back.

Kenzo soon came out as Silas handed him a glass of milk. "Drink it, you all mighty actor." he teased. Kenzo smiled taking it. "Who are you calling an actor?" he questioned sneakily. "Yes, yes my mistake your highness." Faris corrected grinning. "We have only 7 minutes left now!" reminded Cassiel tying his shoes.
