Everyone rushed to the dining room as it was the time for lunch.
Livnah, Rivera and Emma were playing around the table and laughed at each other. Gwend ordered them to sit down for several times but they wouldn't listen. At last, Gwend just let them play around with each other. Besides, lunch hasn't started yet.
The other Hunters are talking to each other about things they are interested in and sometimes, a laugh could be heard filling the dining room.
"Oh, where is Symantha? Willy, did you see her?" asked Lyeon while he looked at his surroundings. He just sat down on his chair when he realized Symantha wasn't in her usual seat. Normally, when he settles down in his chair, Symantha would also already settle down on her seat.
"I don't know, Lyeon. Maybe she is still in her room," said Willy. He looked to Greyson again and they started to talk about things that Lyeon didn't have any interest in.
"That's weird. She has never been late for lunch before," said Lyeon to himself. Maybe I should check up on her.
Lyeon leaves the dining room to search for Symantha.
Whilst, among the members who didn't care at all, Becky was listening to Lyeon, only watched that man leave the dining room. Something was bothering her though.
Why would he care for Symantha's present so much if he thought that Symantha was just his friend? Did he really just see her as a friend or he never realized that he loved that girl? This man… He acts like he is attracted to me, but it turns out that he only needs me to know his real feelings. Whatever… I don't intend to entangle with him anyway.
Suddenly, Mark lifted up a red apple in front of Becky's eyes. Becky was startled with Mark's action but she just took the apple and bit it.
"Ooh, I know you are a fan of this apple!" said Mark, excitedly.
Becky looked at Mark with an ugly face. She feels like she wants to push that face out of her sight. But Becky chooses to ignore it and she looks the other direction.
Mark didn't feel offended about it though, because he was used to it. He just formed a wide smile before he also grabbed another apple and ate it.
Suzy, Ah Chiong and Perly, who have been injured from yesterday's mission and weren't able to wear them until now, also joined them for lunch.
Carlos greeted Suzy who was sitting next to him. Suzy greeted him back.
"Are you really okay, Suzy? You still look a bit pale," said Carlos again. He handed over a glass of warm water to Suzy.
"Thanks," Suzy said as she took the glass. "Don't worry about me, Carl. I'm a lot better than yesterday."
"If you couldn't stand it, you can go back to rest. Let us send you the food. After all, you need enough rest."
Suzy smiled reassuringly. "I'm really fine. Besides, I have enough rest already," she said.
Carlos nodded again. Then, he turned to Elvin who was sitting next to him. A few minutes later, a laugh could be heard from them.
But what Carlos didn't realize is that Nic was watching over him. Nic saw how Carlos talked to Suzy and suddenly she felt uncomfortable about it. It was like she was angry when she saw Carlos talking with Suzy with a carefree face.
Oh, he cares for Suzy now? Is he the type to care about people's condition?? Or is it me who was over thinking about it?? Shit, why did I suddenly feel angry about it?
Nic simply ignores whatever she has seen before by looking in another direction. It is better for her to look in another direction than have to look at the face she is currently mad at.
After a while, the table is now full of food and everyone starts eating their food.
"I think we better get practise after this. We have to get ready for the next mission!" said Danelio.
Everyone stops eating their food for a second before they continue to eat again.
"Okay, Senior!"
After they rest for a while after lunch, everyone gets out from the Castle to the training field. This is the first time for them to train together in big numbers.
Some of them will practise swords.
Some of them will practise martial arts.
And some are guns.
Some of them are also practising inside the building training or etc.
The members who are still injured are just sitting on the side of the training field. Since they are still injured and couldn't do much, they could watch from where they sat.
Dee and Dale choose to practise swords together. While they were practising, Dale didn't miss to teased Dee when he had a chance. Even though they were trying hard to hide their status but day after day, they kept showing their romantic life. Sometimes it's too obvious too.
Becky who was practising in the same field with them could not stop herself but kept showing her ugly and mockery face every time these two people obviously showed their sweet relationsh.i.p.s.
Sometimes, she thinks that she wants to throw the swords at her hands to these two friends of hers. They are freaking disgusted at her.
"They are so sweet, right?" asked Nikino, suddenly showing up beside Becky.
Becky let out a mockery tone. Slowly she looked at Nikino. Her eyes were big like she saw just shocked by something she just discovered. "You know they are dating?"
"Yeah, I knew a long time ago. It was not that hard to guess if they were a couple or not. It was so obvious, everywhere they went, they couldn't separate with each other," said Nikino. She chuckled while crossing her hands onto her chest.
Nikino was three years older than Becky, so she would now know how to see the things between Dee and Dale. No matter how hard they try to hide it, it would be useless anymore.
"Who else knows about this?" asked Becky.
"Urm.. I don't know. But I bet Dale's brother already knows about this. It was too obvious, you know," said Nikino.
"Yeah, I think so too. Even I was getting fed up with them every time I saw them doing sweet things," said Becky.
"But I like it though. It was so adorable!" said Nikino while giggling alone. "I worship them," she added.
"Enough of them.. You want to practise sword with me?" asked Becky as she lifted up the swords in her hands until it was at the same level with her shoulder.
"Sure," Nikino said and they started to practise.
They practised swords for a long time and when they get tired, they stop to take a breath.
Nikino didn't feel weird though when she battled up with Becky in a sword fight. She already knew Becky was a strong person. She already lost many times with Becky and Nikino knows Becky didn't go all out on her.
"Becky!!" Someone called for Becky's name. When Becky turned around, she saw Mark was approaching her. In his hand was a bottle of water.
"Drink??" Mark said as he handed over the bottle to Becky.
Becky takes the bottle without second thought and quickly drinks it. "Thanks, I really need this," she said after she drank the water.
Mark showed Becky his gummy smile. "I knew you were tired after a long practise with Nikino. I'm impressed, tho. You were really strong back there!"
Becky chuckled as she closed the bottle. "Of course I am strong. I was born this way!"
"You were exaggerating, little girl!" Mark said as he pursed his lips, pretending to be annoyed.
"What, can't I?" asked Becky and then she laughed.
Mark was pleased to see Becky laughed like that. It was hard to see Becky laugh since she wasn't the type of person who can get your joke easily. Seeing the laugh from her, makes Mark feel calm.
But someone was not calm about this at all. Lyeon watched Becky as she laughed while punching lightly at Mark's shoulder. He didn't know what they were talking about and he was eager to know what it was that made Becky laugh loudly like that. It was rare to see her laugh but when she is laughing, someone who makes her laugh like that, was considered as someone's precious.
Lyeon didn't dare to make a move toward them. So, he could only watch Mark and Becky keep talking to each other. He swallowed all the anger inside him.
"Are you ready, Captain?" asked Danelio. He was ready to practise the martial art with Lyeon.
Lyeon shifted his attention to Danelio. For a while, his mind is distracted from Becky. "Oh hell yeah!"
They ready their position to strike each other. When Danelio started to punch Lyeon, Lyeon avoided the punch and he landed another punch to Danelio's face but Danelio managed to catch it before Lyeon's punch reached his face.
Suddenly, Lyeon hears another laugh from Becky. His blood starts to boil and his mind starts to get wild. Without realising it, Lyeon grabbed Danelio's both hands and Lyeon threw him to the floor.
Danelio was shocked but he couldn't do anything to stop it. Lyeon was too fast for him to react. When he realized it, Danelio was already lying down on the floor, both his body and mind going numb and weak.
Carlos and Jakzen quickly run toward them. Jakzen pulled Lyeon to the side while Carlos was checking up on Danelio. "Senior, are you alright?" he asked.
Symantha also ran toward them and she grabbed Lyeon's hand. At that time, Lyeon was already released from his anger and he was shocked to see Danelio on the floor.
"What the hell, brother?? Why did you being so hard on Danelio?? It's just a practise!" said Jakzen with a bit irritated mixed inside his voice.
"Are you okay, Lyeon?? Why did you look distracted??" asked Symantha.
Lyeon looked at Symantha and looked at Danelio again. He started to feel guilty because of what he did. He shouldn't easily get angry like that and use someone to vent out his anger. How stupid of him to be angry just because a mere laugh from that girl…
"I---Sorry, Danelio! I didn't mean it!" said Lyeon.
Carlos help Danelio to get up. Good thing that Danelio was fine but he still got the impact by Lyeon's attack. It happens just like that, Danelio even didn't blink yet. "It's okay. It's not serious after all."
Lyeon sighed heavily. Secretly, he took a glance at Becky and saw Becky already practising with Nikino. Lyeon put his hand onto his forehead. I must be very crazy right now…
