Tale Of the Nine-tailed | The Lunar Foxes

Chapter 5: Evolution Realm

Jae-Rin's POV:

"Evolution of power is open for every fox but it requires physical and emotional strength, and if you go in the evolution realm without proper training then it's bye-bye life for you.
The evolution realm has a lot of different challenges and it specializes in beating you emotionally before slowly beating you physically, it does not have pitty whatever your weaknesses are believe me it will be thrown against you.
Overcoming the past, letting go of your fear and most importantly letting go of someone who is gone, these are the crucial and excruciating training you have to deal with us. If your weakness is someone alive or dead they will be there and will be used against you training you emotionally can be quite hard due to someone you love who's life was recently swapped for someone who he treasured the most. We're starting to train you physically because if your body can't handle the challenge anymore and decides to shut down you're gonna die and be stuck there, forever" I said.

Yeon's POV:
"if your weakness is someone alive or dead they will be there and will be used against you training you emotionally can be quite hard due to someone you love who's life was recently swapped for someone who he treasured the most" Jae-Rin said while she looked at us it made me remember Rang and everyone I love, this evolution thing is going to push me to my limits, can I handle this?

"We're starting to train you physically because if your body can't handle the challenge anymore and decides to shut down you're gonna die there and you're gonna be stuck there, forever" Jae-Rin continued after that the mood suddenly changed her team started to get mad for some reason most of them were cursing and forming their hands into a fist there's something about that last statement of hers that made a huge impact to them.

But anyways "So where's this other Master of yours?" I asked and smirked as i looked at Jae-Rin's angry face but then she suddenly smiled "I have a better question, Where's Ji A?"
She asked in return.

I looked around the place but found no sign of her, I tried to remember when I last saw her but I can't seem to remember where she was after she said she'll just go to the bathroom last night.

"Now that you asked, Mister Lee where is Ji A? I've been looking for her last night but couldn't find her" Shinju asked, then it clicked she didn't come back from the bathroom this can't be, why would Ji A leave me and most importantly why didn't I realize that she was missing. I ran outside the court and I heard Jae-rin telling them to help me and we went out looking for her.

I couldn't find her in Granny's house so were now here in the city looking for Ji A "Why can't this human just stay still like blacky?" I heard Jae-Rin hissed but I dont care about what she says now I need to find Ji A "Shinju you can use your smelling power to track her down" Felix casually said while taking a seat outside a cafe "Aren't you gonna help us look for her?" I asked in disbelief as I looked at him "Why? What special relationship do we have with her?"He answered "And besides we just got here in Korea isn't it nice to take a coffee break in an expensive looking cafe? Blacky sit, and eat" Jae-Rin said while smiling at me "But can you at least help us look for her? I just really need to find her what if your rivals are gonna track her and use her against us a-against me?" I pleaded

"Why would they hunt her down and use her against you? It's not like your still one of us or are you?" Lee Known said then I saw Jae-Rin smirk, so she knows? "Mister Lee can't be a fo-"

"Use your words wisely Shinju" Lee Known angrily said then Shinju turned pale, looked at me with tears in his eyes, of all time, now and of all people the truth came out from a mere stranger, should I tell Shinju the truth now? "Mr. Lee a-are you s-still -?" Shinju almost whispered, saying he's shocked would be an understatement because his face looks like he's been stabbed in the back like literally stabbed in the back by his most trusted fox, by.. me

"Shinju I-" he cut me off
"Yeon tell me the truth, Please" Shinju pleaded as he looked at me in the eye while trying to hold his tears "Y-yes, I'm still as I was before" I answered but I couldn't look straight at his eyes, I messed up big time. "Yehey!" Yuri exclaimed then we looked at her with a look that says seriously? "Why?did I use the wrong expression? You know what I can't understand you guys when Yeon said he's now human you were saddened but now that we found out that he's still who he originally is, your mad? At least be happy that he told the truth" Yuri said then called the waiter, they ordered their drinks to-go and waited, Shinju was still shocked from what I said i tried to go near him but Seungmin just casually pulled me back while telling me to give him space.

"You guys really need to have your priorities sorted" IN said while laughing, in a really serious moment there he was laughing? What's so funny about seeing your friend sad because of you? These darn foxes.

"Jae-Rin Why did you order the drinks to-go?" Yuri asked with a confused face, all of us are sitting inside the cafe now because we don't  fit with the tables and chairs outside, Chan and the rest are looking at Jae-Rin and she suddenly nodded then,

"Ji A" Chan and the rest answered "Oh My- I'm leaving!!" I shouted as I ran toward who knows where. How could I forget about her for the second time?
