That night, 1 am, Ben"s hospital. After getting calls from Jason, Chris stared at Ben who is still carefully examining and a.n.a.lyzing Chris"s health report, from blood pressure to temperature and so on, in order to prevent any omission. "Ben, I told you I"m alright, don"t worry about me." said Chris, try to convince Ben to stop the over worrying.
"If you really want to worry about someone, you should worry about Sky, he did most of the fighting parts." said Chris, still trying to convince Ben.
"Don"t worry about him, I have done a detailed check up on him as well, no any big problems been found, except for a slight imbalance of magic from the aftermath of his previous fight with that person." said Ben, who finally put down the medical report.
"But... Hmm?"
Before Chris could continue his words, he received another message from Jason, about an invitation for a special event in Kapis dimension.
It"s an open battle arena tournament that is opened for every single being from all over the dimensions, the grand prize of the battle arena is a legendary baby dragon and of course, lots and lots of treasures.
"Heh~ This looks interesting... I want that baby dragon." said Chris.
"Hmm... Indeed, but the rule said we need to form a team of eight." said Sky.
"Let"s get Maria, it will be four of us." said Chris.
"Four?" Sky is a bit confused. Then Chris pointed himself, Sky and Ben.
"Wait! Why am I even included?" said Ben?
"And if we count in Kenji, it will be five, we just need to get three more people." said Chris, obviously ignoring Ben.
"How about Yuki, Ai, and Itsuki." said Sky.
"Wait! Hold on! That doesn"t sound right, why should we attend this battle arena thing all the sudden, even it"s Chris, it"s not so acceptable." said Seito.
"Calm down, I was joking about the baby dragon. The reason Jason send me this, is because of the organizer." said Chris.
"The organizer?" Seito is confused.
"Yes, the organizer of this event, Sir Percy was one of the elders of Dracula"s worshipper." said Chris, in a more proper manner.
"And since you have been complaining about your vacation been ruined because of the winter a.s.signment, why don"t you just consider this as another form of vacation?" said Chris.
"Yes, but the winter break is going to end in five days." said Seito, rather upset.
"Haha... Don"t worry about that, the time perception in that dimension is a bit different from normal dimensions, one day here is equivalent to a month there." said Chris.
"Eh? How does it works, I"m curious, does it mean the people can only survive for *3 years, according to the time here?" Seito ask.
*1 day = 1 month = about 30 days
3 years = about 90 years.
"Uhm... Nope, their growth is equivalent to normal time. Let"s put it this, it takes about 100 years there for an infant to grow into a toddler." said Chris, trying to explain the time concepts to Seito.
"Uhm..."
"I know what you are thinking, the pregnancy term is normal, no one is going to have a longer time than *Nezha... Probably." said Chris.
"So, when are we going to start our journey?" Seito ask.
"Tomorrow morning, as the tournament is going to start soon, I want everyone to gather in your bas.e.m.e.nt before 8 am. I"ll get Jason to get Maria and Yuki." said Chris.
"Wait! You are serious about bringing Itsuki along?" said Seito, a bit surprised.
"Yes, I"m always serious of my words." said Chris.
*Nezha, a character from Chinese legend, his mother give birth to him only after three years and eight months of pregnancy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, Kapis Dimension. Sky and others are riding on a huge and magnificent blue dragon above the main city, Maria, Ben and Jason are joining them.
"Where are we going?" Seito ask.
"Believe it or not, we have a secret base in this dimension." said Sky.
"Secret base?" Seito is a bit curious.
"Ah! That secret base. It"s somehow nostalgic." said Ben.
This conversation gets Seito even more curious.
Later, they reached a deserted area. Sky placed his hand on the ground, a stone castle emerged from the ground.
"There, our secret base." said Sky. "Wow... That"s what I called as cool." said Seito, rather amazed along with Itsuki and Ai. Yuki is taking a photo with her phone... again.
"Enter the castle, and you will be more amazed." said Chris. Then they entered the castle.
The interior has a totally different structure from the exterior design, instead of the medieval design, the interior design is more to futuristic. With convenience and advanced infrastructure. There are five rooms for bedroom purposes with each room having separate bathrooms. Then, there are two training halls, a cafeteria, an advanced infirmary, two conference rooms, and a laboratory. In the middle of the castle is a lounge that can also act as event hall for different events.
"Wow! This is amazing!" said Seito.
"But there are only five rooms, which means we need to share room." said Ben.
"I don"t want to share a room with Maria, just saying." said Chris.
"You are so mean, Chris chan. But I like it ~" said Maria while snuggling on Chris.
"Argh... Stop it!" said Chris, trying to push Maria away.
"Well, the girls will share a room, while for guys... Let"s draw lots." Sky suggested.
"Ah... Okay." said Chris, obviously scared that he might accidentally be matching up with Maria, same for Ben.
Then they did as Sky said and the result is, Sky and Maria, Chris with Ben, Itsuki with Jason and Seito is alone. Everyone have different reactions to the results. Sky is totally emotionless with Maria happily clinging on him, Chris and Ben are relieved as they didn"t match with Maria, while Seito is a bit upset to be alone.
"Seito, anything wrong?" said Sky.
"Why do I have to be alone?" said Seito.
"Well, it"s not half bad, you can have the whole room by yourself." said Chris.
"Or... You want my roommate?" Sky whispered.
"Ah... No thanks..." said Seito.
Although with all the mean words, they still did some adjustment, Seito is sharing a room with Itsuki while Jason is left alone, which he doesn"t mind about it. And so, they all go to their own room and have a good rest after the long journey so that they have energies for the coming adventures.
