3Ry Cross Time (S1-S2)
"TAKE ME"

Time is rolling as usual. It's just that, any hour does not make Ryura wake up from his sleep. It is like a bear hibernating. Sleep without being awakened at any given time. Thankfully, Duan Xi already knew of his one habit. As the saying goes, that habit was Ryura's way of recuperating.

Reychu and Rayan told him about the training time in the first month. At that time, fatigue could not be avoided so Ryura without speaking immediately laid his body on the grass in a meadow and slept soundly. When Duan Xi did not know about it, he was made tired from trying different ways to wake her up. Unfortunately, all he got was a ditch. That surprised. Even in her sleep, Ryura can protect herself from danger. Until one full day the girl slept, then she woke up by herself and do not forget the innocent face.

From there, the two friends of his favorite students who also became his students even though they had to disclose everything related to Ryura. As if there were no secret words, Ryura kept quiet as her best friend said all the bad things about her.

Therefore, this was where Duan Xi was now. On a bridge between villages that are often passed by people, with Furby who this morning he forced to come with him, because the rider was hibernating for a full day.

"What happened to him yesterday? Why would he get hurt like that?" fawning Duan Xi with a question. He was so worried that he could not hold back.

Furby took a quick glance, without needing to ask, she could feel that the short-bodied man had an affection for Ryura which might be the same as his affection for the girl.

The horse replied without hesitation. "Some students from Xiaofang academy suddenly came to him and they got into a fight."

"Xiaofang Academy?" Furby nodded. "But, what's their business with Ryura? As I recall Ryura had never dealt with the people in the academy." he still did not understand.

"I don't know either. They suddenly acted like they understood best what had happened...! From what I caught... They secretly hate Ryura for reasons I don't know. Weird, right?!" terangannya.

"Just because of that?! It makes no sense!" duan Xi growled unexpectedly.

Sighing, Furby spoke again in her telepathy. "Eitherway. However, that was the case." hearing the phrase, Duan Xi could not help but feel sad as well as worried.

"When will this end?" duan Xi asked referring to the competition that he thought was completely useless, because it did not affect Ryura in the least.

"Can't be guessed. You yourself will know, before the Han Family revokes the announcement of the competition. And so, Ryura will continue to be bullied." Furby said by telepathy.

"As family members, they are very cruel. It should have been, before they judged Ryura. They had to see what they were like when they behaved to Ryura earlier." his eyes faced the river and looked at him.

"Huh! Don't hope! They are all out of their minds. So, why expect so much on them." - Furby. "If you are to be blamed. Then blame them. Ryura was not that simple. He will not do that evil thing, if no one starts it first." he continued, implied anger inside. He was angry because others dared to hurt his human friend.

"alright. Let's just trust Ryura. He knows better what's best for him." glimpsed. "Come on. I'll buy you. Just think of it as a sign of my greeting as your old friend." seduced Duan Xi then passed away leaving Furby who was already back in annoyance with the short old man.

"Curtain! Who do you consider your old friend?! Don't dream too much! After all, it was too late to treat in the name of greetings, old man bod*h!" Furby screeched for Duan Xi, but no doubt she kept up with the short man.

Duan Xi was just grunting annoyed because of that.

Not knowing exactly when Ryura woke up, made Duan Xi so repeatedly visit his inn room just to see if his beloved disciple was awake or not.

Rather than feeling annoyed, Duan Xi felt more anxious. I've seen things like this, but still. This time it was even different, as Ryura was also injured. He was afraid that his injuries would make his favorite student suffer.

"Huh! When did you wake up Ryura?! Don't make me worry!" lethargic Duan Xi while looking at Ryura who was soundly asleep on top of the contest.

For the umpteenth time he breathed his breath. Then, choose to move back to his room next to Ryura's current room. Just as he swung his footsteps, the creaking of the contest sounded. Duan Xi's reflexes turned towards the origin of the voice.

He could see Ryura starting to rise from the ground to a sitting position. Waiting to adjust from his consciousness, Ryura kept silent. Until it was enough, the eyes were finally open. The first to be seen by his eyes was the short figure of Duan Xi standing right in front of him with a staff that was never far away from him.

"God... You finally woke up as well." Duan Xi relieved like a heavy weight lifted off his shoulders. While Ryura just blinked not understanding nor did he care.

After blowing a sigh of relief, now he turned fierce. His bare hands ruffled his waist and the other one holding a stick at the front of Ryura's face.

"You know how worried I am? Geez, I didn't expect that you would actually wake up after 24 hours. One whole day, Ryura. You almost made me use my style to wake you up from your long slumber." an angry mix slid free from his mouth just like that. The sense of excitement he could not prevent for Ryura.

As for the girl, she looked indifferent as soon as she heard Duan Xi's complaint which she thought was stale to discuss.

Because that's the fact about him. Ryuya.

The hibernation period of a Ryura is 24 hours. Which means, if yesterday since coming home from his place treated by Reychu is daytime. At that time, he will wake up the next day. And his two best friends knew that. Although he understood that Duan Xi did not understand even though he knew about his habits on this one, but still would not change anything. For Ryura, it was still not something that mattered.

Upset Duan Xi, for being ignored to grunt. "Alright, alright. Just ignore. You will always be like that. I understand enough about that. No need to talk about it anymore. Now wash your face and eat. I bought it earlier. If you want anything else, then order it." Duan Xi chanted like a railroad car. The silent Ryura could only blink his eyes in response.

Switch to table. Sure enough, there are already several dishes with various contents. As Duan Xi said, the short old man actually prepared food for him. After that, Ryura got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face with the water provided in the basin by the inn in the restroom he entered.

As soon as it was done, Ryura came out and directly walked towards the table and sat down on the other empty seats opposite Duan Xi.

He saw his student sitting on a chair. "What are you waiting for. Come on, at the meal. Don't have anything left" he said quickly as he pushed one plate at a table toward Ryura. For a moment Ryura was made speechless with Duan Xi's attention. Although he has often experienced by his two friends. For some reason, there was a speck of warmth in his heart. Unfortunately, it happens very short as the speed of light. Making Ryura doubt about what had just crossed his heart.

On the sidelines of his eating bustle, Duan Xi's voice interrupted. "What are you going to do after this?" ryura's eyes lifted to look at Duan Xi's face without lifting her head that lowered her head to eat.

He quite understands the direction of the man's question in front of him.

"Nothing" he replied after his food was swallowed. The chopsticks in his hand were moved back to take the food and feed it to the mouth.

"really?! Huh... Listen, Ryura. You need to solve this problem right away. Because if it takes longer and takes more victims, you'll get in trouble. Moreover, after you bravely eliminated the student from Xiaofang academy. Did you know, it was the fire country pride academy. The only academy belonging to the Huoli kingdom that is recognized by the world. The academy, often participated in races held by outsiders to be able to participate. Now you're dealing with them." Duan Xi scolded at length reminded.

"That's their business." Ryura replied casually without stopping her eating activities.

"You're this. Then what if the academy comes to you and tries to take revenge for their students who died because of you?"

"They won't do that!" straightforward Ryura.

A cry was etched on Duan Xi's forehead. "How could you think that? They're not just anyone!" press Duan Xi was almost frustrated.

Actually, he could have defended Ryura if something happened to him. Only, Duan Xi was aware that he was just a wanderer who was just passing through the fire country without any intention of making trouble. Moreover, as long as he stayed in Huoli kingdom. His life is safe and has no problem with anyone from the fire country, making him unable to act just to defend Ryura, who no one else knows is his student.

Staring at Duan Xi was deep and calm. Being stared at like that made Duan Xi want to dive into Ryura's empty eyes to find out what it contained. But, baby, there was nothing he could see from his eyes.

"They're not stupid." Ryura replied ambiguously. Duan Xi again did not understand until he had to think hard to digest it.

Until shortly thereafter, he understood.

"Ah, yes. They shouldn't be that stupid. With the announcement of the competition, their side can not do anything to you to hold it accountable. The one to blame is your family. And again, many mouths can testify to prevent such a bad event from approaching you. Right, that's right.." glad Duan Xi when he had understood Ryura's short-sentence.

"Well... I can only pray and hope... Hopefully this will be the last one." Duan Xi hoped as she leaned her back against the back of the chair with some relief.

Ryura just glanced with no interest in acting like his teacher. Better to let it be.

Restoring her hair back with a thick aura of arrogance. In a room, a man was standing in front of a window looking out. His face looks very confident. It was as if he was ready to do something big.

"My wait must not be in vain this time. No matter how good he is in the eyes of others. To me, he was nothing more than a pebble stuck in a tree trunk. Heh! Too soon to be proud just for killing a few people. In fact, it was nothing more than luck." the man smiled slanted with ridicule and insults.

"I'm so sure. That luck will be over as soon as he meets me. Then, I'm the one who'll take back all that attention. Not only that. Rather, I will also become rich and when the creature changes hands to me. Then I will be invincible. Ahahaha...!!! So perfect!!! Hahaha." he said so confidently and with great confidence.

The man had prepared to be able to face a Ryura when the time came.

Look out the window in silence. The blank expression on his face made him look like someone who had been severely depressed to the point of losing his soul in order to live a normal life.

Ryura silently looked at the sky that was slowly turning orange. Marking the afternoon coming.

"Take me..."

His eyes flickered for a moment when a voice entered his ear with a low tone that seemed to whisper, but not whisper.

No need to look to find the origin of the sound. Because, Ryura knew the sound was not coming from any direction. But from within himself, it was as if something had penetrated into his mind and then uttered a sentence that Ryura himself did not understand.

"Take me..."

The call was heard again, but Ryura remained in his position. Thought it wasn't important until a sense slipped into his soul. Feelings he doesn't understand.

"Take me..."

His instincts told him that something would come to him. Something to associate with the voices that kept crying out over the same sentence.

Ryura kept quiet and let it go. Thinking that, he could see it tomorrow if his premonition was right.
