3Ry Cross Time (S1-S2)
THREE TIMES REJECTED ONCE ACCEPTED

"I want you to be my student!"

The short sentence was said with firmness and high confidence as if that way he would not find anything beyond his expectations. But what is the power if he is just a man who lives without knowing what kind of scenario the creator created for each servant.

"No!" after that one word was spoken flatly without a single speck of interest, Ryura silently let the short old man in front of her fall silent in his shock like the person who had first received a rejection, just like the one who had just received a rejection, although it is actually so. Afterwards he left, leaving the old man short and gray in the disbelief that filled his mind.

For the first time he felt like he meant nothing...

"...?!" his brain was a little late digesting even he let Furby just pass through him who was in a confused mode. Seeing that Furby could not if not laugh with the typical laughter of his horse laughing at the reaction gawking at the man who was dwarfed 'old midget' by him.

"I didn't listen wrong?! Her... Just rejected me?! GOOD GOSH... THIS IS NOT MUNGKIIIIINNN... L'm... L'm... The ascetic mountaintop of immortality IS REJECTED?! By an ORDINARY GIRL?!" the old man's screams in his heart in each uppercase word were over with a thousand percent disbelief at the rejection he received from Ryura.

Looking at Ryura's passing, he could still see the girl's body, though it was somewhat covered by Furby's large body.

"Huh! Can't be allowed!" the pressure did not accept as he shook his head dramatically. As a great person it seems really unable to believe the name of rejection clearly without a second thought let alone it was done by a girl who did not look strong at all.

Immediately with a thousand steps the old man chased after Ryura. Sure enough, it didn't take long even a short enough the unnamed old man had arrived before Ryura made the girl inevitably have to stop her steps suddenly.

Ryura stared flatly just like the previous gaze he gave the old man. But, the old man didn't care much about it.

"O young man! Try to consider first. Listen, my name is Duan Xi. I'm a hermit on the mountaintop of immortality, an alumna of the greatest college ever. I want to recruit a student and my choice falls on you..." it was not finished that the old man who called himself Duan Xi finished his sentence Ryura had already interrupted first while swinging back his steps to leave.

"No."

Growled? Sure oes. Duan Xi did not expect this. Although he had never once had a student but he had taught some people as an assistant teacher when he was young considering he was qualified enough to do so. But, something makes him have to travel to be able to find a student of his choice. When the choice has been set, it is precisely the prospective student who is reluctant to accept his offer.

Absolutely ironic!

It was really confusing for Duan Xi actually. Because, only this time he found a golden opportunity was rejected raw even more than once. Maybe the person is not sane anymore to reject the things that are very desirable by many people but difficult to get because of his terrible qualifications.

But, this expressionless girl...

For the umpteenth time Duan Xi shook his head subconsciously.

Keep walking somewhere, just follow the flat-faced girl away.

"Try to think again." he almost whined. "Never before has anyone refused to be great. After all, offers like this are very rare young people." he persuaded again.

"No."

Duan Xi sighed in near-frustration, he was completely inexhaustible with the contents of the brain of the girl who was now walking towards the knee-high wooden pedestal of an adult similar to a table but not used as a table plus there was a small table on it and it looks like an unroofed cottage. The girl that Duan Xi did not know her name was looking to sit down at the cottage then raised her hand that seemed to want to order something.

It turned out to be a food stall in an open area.

Ryura and he sit down in front of the girl. Furby was still loyal to Ryura's side while looking at Duan Xi with a soft look.

"Peruuusss... Let me count. How many words 'no' will Ryura say to you. Hehe..." Furby chuckled inwardly, she looked delighted to see Duan Xi languish. I don't know what the moon horse and the short old man had experienced before, to the point that Furby seemed to harbor incomparable irritation.

"Yes, Miss. What message do you want? Here we provide Jiaozi, Tofu Ma PO, and Wonton. What do you want a message for?" the waiter asked, it was friendly.

"Jiaozi" he replied no more. The waiter was made to blink confused at the short answer Ryura gave without even looking at it. For the first time he was met with the personality of a person like a customer girl in front of him at this time, even though the girl was sweet.

Realizing from his daydream, he cleared his throat awkwardly. "Okay, is there more?" Ryura shook his head in response. Then the waiter just went to prepare the order that had just been ordered by his customer and forgot that there was one more person who was looking sour due to being ignored. But it wasn't intentionally.

Suddenly Duan Xi exclaimed in protest. "Hey, didn't you order for me either? At least ask... I'm here for real. Do you think I'm a ghost?!" hearing that Ryura just stared at him without replying to the ravings of the old man who had come out of nowhere since earlier. Now it is cool to follow himself with a string of sentences that ta there is interesting for Ryura.

He was confused to feel his own distress.

Not wanting to add to his dizziness, he exclaimed loudly. "SERVANTS... I ORDERED JIAOZI TOO AND DON'T FORGET A BOTTLE OF WINE!" pinta Duan Xi in her high tone at once intended to vent her frustration at this girl in front of her.

Furby who saw it immediately broke her laughter and of course the laughter from inside her mind. He who is a horse how to laugh loosely, what people say later when they find a horse laughing. The horse is the moon horse. Could end the story!

Sitting in a lazy position slightly tilted his body with his right hand placed on the table. He glanced at Ryura without pause every 5 seconds with a face like he was thinking hard to start persuading the girl who looked relaxed and calm waiting for his order to come. He still doesn't want to give up. For him although annoying to be compassionate and begging but still he must do because somehow this girl in front of him has something that is not owned by others. Therefore he wanted Ryura as his student.

Duan Xi placed great hopes on Ryura even though the current word of rejection he still heard. But, it was undeniable by his parents that he was sure that this expressionless girl would become his disciple and would be the best among them-they were there, both the teacher and his student a.k.a were rivals.

"Ehem... Young kid. I want to ask you..." his eyes looked on alert not because of anything dangerous but wanted to make sure that the girl in front of him would respond to his words even if a little and short instead of interrupting with an answer that was able to make his blood rise instantly.

Ryura glanced at him as soon as he heard the question word wanted to be thrown at him.

"Will you tell me your name...? Eums... I meani. I told you my name before, complete with who I am. So.." clumsily he asked because he knew that Ryura glanced at him without changing her face at all, it was enough to make him a little uncomfortable. Damn it, the cold sweat droplets started popping up and it was quite unexpected. He became miserable himself, especially he was a man who had already passed the bitter sweetness of life can even be said long before this girl in front of him was born, he was sure of it.

Duan Xi felt like he had returned to the first time he had studied at the academy as a young man, just when his first exam was mentally draining. But, it seems that now it is much more stressful because the face is not a book or memorization but a living creature named woman with a flat face without expression, the look in her eyes can not be dived, but a living creature named woman with a flat face without expression, unreadable movements, the aura that envelops it is difficult to interpret or perhaps more precisely does not exist.

"Rilor." Duan Xi was wide in disbelief as he heard. Like someone who gets a lifetime free meal coupon, he blinked his eyes to make sure he was not misheard.

"He just told me his name, didn't he?!" inner Duan Xi was splashing out on his own.

"R...RYURA?! YOUR NAME'S RYURA? I MEAN?!" the old man was happy not to play until he got up from his seat to a kneeling position with both palms supporting the weight of his body which he leaned forward, towards the girl who had just mentioned his name. The people who were also customers of the food stall felt a little bothered by the screech until it made them look towards Ryura and Duan Xi.

Getting the warning gazes from the many people made Duan Xi come to a realization and slightly lowered her head as her apology.

After the shock-surprise action, then he felt the response was excessive as a result of immediately he returned to his seat as fast as lightning, his face flushed embarrassed. Duan Xi felt his wiiba was lost somewhere and became exactly like a child. Talking about children made him realize his short body.

Though Ryura did not care at all about what the old man in front of him did. It was really very difficult to move the response of a Han Ryura a.k.a Ryura Jenna.

Feeling calm, Duan Di cleared his throat to start the conversation again. "Ehem. All right, Ryura.." glanced nervously at the flat girl. "Live it! Actually, this old man just wanted to offer a martial arts education. With me as his teacher. I can also take you to see what the world is like out there other than in this fire country. But the education I want to teach is not free but I want you to do something for me." jedanya while wanting to see if so far his words are enough to make the girl in front of him want to listen or even immediately refuse like before without a second thought.

It turned out that Ryura was just silent without taking his eyes off the old man before him right now. Yes, Ryura was interested even though the look on his face did not show that.

Ryura's silence made him think that the girl was interested so he smiled faintly and continued, but this was more serious.

"Ehm. 5 more months will be held a fighting competition by betting on life and death which is commonly called the 'Living' competition'... However, the competition was held in the celestial empire precisely in the country of spring in order to celebrate the war festival to commemorate the greatest war that had occurred between the two empires. When traveling from the fire country to there will take 25 days and not only the ocean that we will pass but also the land where we will pass through 3 more kingdoms" he explained at length. As he continued, he was again surprised...

"Thank you!" straightforwardly Ryura without hesitation coincided with the arrival of the maid who was delivering her order as well as Duan Xi's order.

Huh!?

"Please and have a good meal!" after saying that and Ryura cleared his throat in response, the maid resigned herself.

Without answering any more, Ryura immediately ate the food that was on trial for him and ignored Duan Xi who came back surprised at his reply.

A moment later, the old man blinked his eyes and regained his senses. Staring seriously but implied pleasure in it towards the girl who was eating solemnly in front of him. Duan Xi was sure, he had not misheard this time even Furby who heard him was no less surprised. He thought he would be rejected again. But, apparently...

"Good! Goody! HAHA.... I'm glad to hear it! All right, let's eat first. We'll talk about it again. I'll deal with it. But, remember... From now on you are my student... HAHAHA..." Duan Xi could not close his happiness and this was the first time he had felt happiness many times over just because of that. But, he likes it.

"Damn! Ryura... What made him accept it?! Ck" Furby grumbled.
