Haahhh, I'm so relief that I could end the TAPOPS test arc in the last chapter. Now, it's time to be serious! Hmph!

Fighting!(9｀･ω･)9

After they got back, the TAPOPS station immediately went back to Tempur-A station to let them rest. It was late at evening when they landed at the station and immediately walked to their shared room as Admiral Tarung dismissed them. Once they reached their room, they fell face planted to the soft surface of their bed and knocked out cold for the rest of the night, except for the light elemental.

The next day came like a blur. Creatures similiar like birds started to chirp, welcoming the new day to start new activities. Morning breeze gently blew, bringing the freshness and the dampness of a morning air.

Trees swayed in rythm with the breeze and morning dew seemed visible on the surface of the leaves. The movement from nature brought peacefulness to those who see it with their own eyes. Perfect time for relaxing and lazying around. Moreover, it's Sunday.

Yet, even in such a peaceful morning, people still doing their hard routines like any regular days. And that's what brought us here.

In one of Tempur-A's room, we could see Taufan lying down on the training room's floor while covered in sweats and panting.

Halilintar was seen standing tall, not lying down and panting on the floor despite the brutal training they've been doing for the last 5 hours. Sweats also were seen pouring down his body, wetting his red shirt which wasn't covered by his red and black jacket. In the middle of their training, the temperature felt too hot to his liking, so he took off and tossed his jacket somewhere in the corner of the room, safely out of range from their attacks.

He wiped the sweat that fell down to his lashes and scoffed, "Get up. We're still not done, yet."

Taufan whined and rolled to his side, curling in to himself, resulting in him getting kicked by Halilintar in the butt.

"Hali, I'm tired!" He yelped in surpised.

"No rest until we reach 7. And if you stop before that, I will raise again the intensity of our training for the next time." Halilintar grabbed the water bottle from the side and chugged it down.

His eyes darkened and glinted dangerously as he pulled back from the mouth of the bottle and hummed, "7 hours training non stop. No rest, no whining, no crying, and no time to take a breathe."

He continued and smirking, "And now, you're stopping to take a rest and breathe. Tomorrow, 7 hours training, no resting. Any objection? No, okay."

Taufan gaped at him in disbelief. The pair of dark red eyes which shone brightly as his bangs covered the upper part of his face met Taufan's wide blue carribean eyes, causing him to flinch and shivered.

'Gempa.. where are you...? I feel like dying here. Help me...' He cried inwardly.

"Get up." Halilintar growled as red electricity danced around him, hat already tossed off to the side.

Taufan had no choice but to lifted his sore body up and stand straight. All his bones cracking in complain at the sudden weightness it had to support when it was already to tired to move causing Taufan groaned as he stood on his two feet.

"Hali, spare my live. You can't be this cruel to your own brother, right?" Taufan pleaded at him puppy eyes.

Halilintar only gave him a flat look and retorted, "There's no word 'spare' in my dictionary. But, there is a 'spar' without the 'e' which is I'm about to do it now."
