Weekly Extra Chapter 1/2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Who did that?

Why?

I looked to the side.

Hilda shouted too early! Nurina was smiling!

Wait!

Nurina! Did you just cast 'Silence' on me?

Hilda and Nurina... both of you were trying to make me win after one minute... so that... I get to marry... her?

I kept looking at them both!

Hilda felt awkward and looked away and Nurina covered most of her face with her hands.

This was... this was not cool.

Not cool at all!

The victory was just like this close... I could almost taste it.

Dammit!

Those two planned it all along.

So you think I can just be forced on some marriage because some girl said so?

Oh! You are mistaken! You are too mistaken!

To play this cheap game with me?

Did you really think it will work?

I kept staring at them and everyone in the hall followed my line of sight.

Nurina is normally thick skinned so she withstood it but Hilda was already on the verge of crying.

Everyone knew that something has happened by now. Even Nurina started to get frustrated.

I looked around and saw Alina.

Sigh! She put on such a good fight but those two just had to ruin it, didn't they?

For some reason, she didn't stand up yet.

I walked to her and crouched down.

"Hahahaha!" I laughed! I couldn't help but laugh!

This is so hilarious! Truly hilarious!

Karma! When you are on my side, you are amazing!

Fine! Thank you for the good fight.

I stood up and spoke.

"When I charged at her just a while ago! We crashed a bit too hard which caused her to pass out... Alina Moonblade lost due losing consciousness before the end of the first minute! ... My Win!"

*applause*

Hehe! That sure felt good!

The crowd cheered! Hilda closed her eyes and Nurina hanged down her head.

Well... that was fun.

***

Nurina, Hilda, Alina, Jullanar, and I were all invited by Savos Aren the Arch-Mage quarters.

"Cousin, you really did it that time, didn't you?" Savos was looking at Nurina with cold eyes.

"I don't think you have any rig..." Nurina was lashing back.

"Please continue, Arch-Mage!" I interrupted.

"Huhu! What a polite student! Nurina, even for a master you should stay partial in these kinds of duels between your personal disciples. I think it shouldn't be me who say that to you."

"Savos! This is my busin..." Nurina was lashing back again.

"Please continue, Arch-Mage!" I interrupted.

"Huhu! What a polite student! I won't be saying much after this but Nurina, please be careful. Only a few people noticed what you have done so I can contain the rumors this time." Savos Aren spoke in his quiet tone.

"I don't care who noti..." Nurina was lashing.

"Please continue, Arch-Mage!" I interrupted.

"Huhu! What a polite student! Anyway, we were lucky to avoid a problem this time. I can explain it that you noticed that student Alina passed out and prevented student Jon from causing harm to the defenseless student Alina."

"I don't care what yo..." Nurina yelled.

"Arch-Mage Savos is very wise." I interrupted.

"Huhu! What a polite student! Anyway, that's all I hav..."

"Hey, brat! Are you enjoying seeing me being scolded?" Nurina lashed at me this time.

"Heh heh! Music to ears!"

"Please, just stop arguing already!" Hilda was whining beside Nurina.

"Huh? You're still here, Hilda? Please, set aside and wait for your share! You two are getting a piece of my mind today." I said in a mocking tone.

Hilda was pale and looked so pitiful! I could see an aura of gloom around her.

"Hey, Jon! What are you saying to Hilda! Hilda cheer up. He is just taking advantage of your feeling of guilt!" Nurina kept shaking Hilda whose ghost already can be seen.

"I am sorry, Jon. Mother only tried to do what she thought was best." Hilda was completely down now.

"Mother, huh? This can be called your second day and you are doing a fantastic job already."

"....."

"The first day, you conspired against your son, and the second day, you applied the conspiracy. That was some feet you know."

"... oh no! Nurina! What have we done? That was your plan."

"And it was your idea. Just don't listen to him! He is tormenting you. Jon stop it or else!"

Sigh! I was already done anyway.

Unlike Nurina, Hilda crumbles easily.

"Senior Jon! For what Auntie Hilda and Master Nurina did this day, please accept my apology on behalf of them." The one who spoke this time was Alina. She stood up and spoke in a polite tone.

"I also want to thank you for having such a great match with me. It is an honor and a privilege! I apologize for my arrogant attitude before the duel! I don't think I have a chance to go against the senior that was raised by Master. Please, forgive my past rudeness and accept me as a junior disciple from now on."

Oh! That was something very nice to say.

"Ehem! It's okay. It's all in the past now."

"Thank you very much! I'll be in your care, Senior!"

Fufu! I get to be called 'Senpai' now.

"Excuse my rudeness but I have some questions about the duel, can you please enlighten me, Senior?"

For some reason, I am enjoying this senior thing.

"Okay! Go ahead!"

"First, when you slapped the 'Wind Blade' back at me. How was that done?"

Everyone looked at me for an answer.

"That was 'Reflect Ward'. I made it small enough to cover only my hand and used it in a stylish way." I said with a grin.

"Oh! ... stylish, huh? W, What about that thing when my swords felt so heavy?"

"That's my sword's enchantment! It can make the objects it clashes with heavier with every clash."

""""Ahaa!""""

"Senior, this is one of the most important questions! When I used four scrolls against you, how in Kyne's name did you come so fast behind me?"

"Fufufu!" Nurina laughed faintly. "Back when I caught him in the lobby and saw how tall he became, I tried to make fun of him but suddenly he disappeared from my hands! He learned how to teleport!"

"TELEPORT!!" Hilda and Alina jumped up.

"Hehe! Only for a short distance!"

"Amazing! If senior could use the Teleportation few more times, I wouldn't have any chance from the start!"

"Oh! I wouldn't use my trump card all the time! Also, it is really hard to control! I am still training on it. And speaking of trump cards, you used 'Whirlwind Spirit', that sure got me good!" I said.

To see another Voice Master under High Hrothgar other than Big Bad Ulfric is sure exciting.

"Fufu! You are praising me too much, Senior! I only got to learn the first word from father."

Oh! So her father is a voice master as well! If that's the case then will I find another voice masters among the hidden clans.

"But the amazing thing was Senior! How did you perform the Thu'um like that?"

"Oh! I just imitated you."

"... Impossible. A single word of power needs years upon years of training!" Alina said.

"Except for those with the Dragon blood!" I said.

"Senior! Surely you jest."

"He always says that when he doesn't want to say how he did it, he probably was training on it since a long time ago and managed to get an insight from your performance!" Nurina replied.

"Aha!" Alina made a realization.

I looked at Jullanar and we sighed together! Only you are there for me, girl!

"One last thing, Senior! By any chance, are you Darth Vader?"

"About that..."

***

We left the Arch-Mage's quarters after we stayed there chatting for almost an hour. Savos Aren was just sitting there not doing anything.

Hilda and Nurina went for a drink, Jullanar and Alina went together on something they kept whispering to each other about, Nefertiti was in a playful mood so she joined the girls.

I was left alone so I decided to go bother Wulfur for a while.

When I arrived at Wulfur's place, I found that Trudvar was there with him.

"What are you two up to?" I asked.

Trudvar told me it is about the Old Life and the New Life festivals.

Oh! so today is the day.

The Old Life Festival is the end of the year celebration when people go visit the graves of their dead loved ones, it is on the 31st of Evening Star.

But tomorrow is the more important day.

Tomorrow is the 'New Life Festival'. The 1st of Morning Star and the day of free drinks for everyone.

"So, what is the plan?" I asked.

"We are preparing some stalls and events. We also included the game that you told us about."

Fufufu! The children shooting range, the magical show, and the snowman competition. Tomorrow will be on a busy day.

Trudvar gave me a note.

"Hmmm! Mead, honey treats, sweet rolls, wine, and free ale. This is like the dream of two people I know very well."

"Is there anything messing, Boss?"

"Did you make sure to attract the Students from the College to celebrate in town?"

"Yes! The 'Creation Club' will give us a hand!"

"Good! Make sure to invite the people from the Firemane ship!"

"Them too, Boss?"

"Yes! Don't they come to town?"

"On a few occasions, but it seems the keeps to themselves and also the people are wary of them."

"Just make sure we make a good relationship with them! They are a potential ally."

"An ally with a name like the 'Firemanes', I'll work hard on that, Boss."

Trudvar said and left the place.

It's only me and Wulfur now.

"Hey, Wulf! How is the thing?"

"The thing? Ah! You devil, what kind of absurd thing is that?"

"You like it?"

"Fast as a bow and strong as a crossbow? Of course, I like it."

"Good! It is a crossbow in the end though."

"What do you call it?"

"The lever action crossbow!"

"Sigh! Your naming sense is still terrible!"

"You are not the one to speak!"

I took out a journal from my pocket and showed it to Wulfur. It is a black journal with a lion insignia on it. Those who know it will recognize it as the Firemane banner!

"Bro, there something I want to tell you about me..."
