The Crystals 30 To The Mountains

Zohaifa came back in training after one day of break. His soreness was all gone. He popped his neck bone and went out with Marium in style. The morning and noon training remained the same as it used to be. Just like all other days, in the evening they were sparring with Lazuli. Zohaifa became active as he used to again. This time Zohiafa is harder than ever. One or two punches were not enough to exhaust him anymore. He came back, rejuvenating himself after each punch. But that's not all. In the middle of the sparring, Zohaifa planted his feet on the ground and prepared himself for a surprise.

"Did Zohiafa learn a new lightning move? But I already told him that using lightning is forbidden in the sparring match. This was supposed to be a martial art sparring," thought Lazuli.

Then all of a sudden, a plasma blast went right beside Lazuli's face. It's a pleasurable thing she could dodge it. When she looked back at Zohaifa, he found him smiling. Has this become his habit? To surprise and smile?

Lazuli said, "Well done. You have learned it way faster than I expected you to. We will move to another phase of the training."

"So can we learn the 'Yellow Splash' now?" asked Zohaifa in excitement.

"Don't be so hasty. You have just learned to create Plasma. Now you need to know how to control it. I will remind you once again that it requires intense control over Plasma to create 'Yellow Splash', where two states of matter mixes," said Lazuli.

"Right. So, what now?" asked Zohaifa.

"Enjoy the rest of the day. I will inform you later," said Lazuli.

Zohiafa and Marium had fun playing video games for the entire day and Zohiafa taught Marium pillow fight, which was the game they chose for the night. The next day, early in the morning, Lazuli woke Zohaifa and Marium up.

"I don't want to go to school. I haven't done my homework," mumbled Zohaifa.

"Wake up!" Lazuli shouted, "stop bringing memories of the Earth here."

Zohaifa got up with a shock. He looked here and there and gradually got aware of his position.

"Darn, I miss my home now," said Zohaifa to himself.

Then Lazuli took two gigantic bags, which was already packed. She handed the smaller one over to Zohaifa and the larger one to Marium.

"That's a surprise. She usually makes me do harder jobs," told Zohaifa to himself.

"Let's go," said Lazuli.

"We are going on a journey again! It was such fun traveling by foot with Lapis. I wonder how will it be this time," thought Zohaifa. But lazuli took a car. It was a jeep to be exact, which was used by them to travel through the forest. The wild wind messed up their hair. But they enjoyed it rather than closing the windows. Their journey gradually led to a rocky land and ended up before a rocky hill. It wasn't too big, by the way.

"This is your training ground," said Lazuli.

"You bought us all the way here to climb a mountain? You could have at least choose a bigger one," replied Zohiafa.

"No. Your training is crus.h.i.+ng the hill. But you can only use plasma blasts. I'll give a 1-month time limit, though you won't need it. You will get no support from me. I have to go back and start working as the governor. I have also given you two some food supplies in the bags. Since it is an isolated place, be cautious about how much you are eating." Then she looked at Marium and said, "That is also the reason you can go all out in this training."

"Now I get why she gave me the smaller bag," thought Zohaifa to himself
