"Thank you" - Rudyman

•Chapter 3• [Edited]

Author's pov :

A click of tongue escapes Rudy's mouth. He's slightly flustered just by the sight of Iman in her casual attire even though he won't admit it. He isn't used to the sight, but he isn't complaining either.

Rudy's pov :

"Rudy, come here! Look, Alicia's training at the archery section.. That means your opponent is her!" Iman said. I walk towards them, crossed my arms and look at the archery section. "I see, my opponent is would be Alicia then huh.." I said. "Alicia is no normal opponent! It was almost as if you're fighting with the general! You need to focus more on the technic you usually use, practice hard & boost your-" I knocked her head lightly, not wanting to actually hurt her. "Don't worry to much.. I'll figure it out." I said, sighing. Intending to calm her down. "We knew we could trust on you!" Chris and Iman said, simultaneously.

Iman's pov
(In her mind) It's Rudy's turn to practice at the archery section. Alicia and Roza seems like they're moving on to practice at the 4×200m. Will Rudy be able to defeat Alicia? She's a strong opponent, what if Rudy losses? What if he got hurt somehow and would be unavailable to participate? What if- *bumps into someone* 

Ow what is this wall..? Oh wait, it's not a wall, It's Rudy!  

"What are you thinking, walking around without facing infront?" He asks, his tone slightly rising. 

"I was just-" 

"Let me think, are you worried I'll lose because of an accident or possibly d*e?" 

"Not dying! I was just worried you'll get hurt!" I raised my voice a little

"Sigh.. Does your head hurt?" He asks short but gentle. 

"Oh, No.. I'm fine" I said, stand up from the grass. "Good" He replies, making an eye contact. Huh.. I didn't realize he had a dark black colored eye before. Even though the color is common, his is.... slightly different. Agent Karya wakes us up, snapping his fingers. "Focus Rudy" He said. I heard Rudy clicked his tongue (again) and walks towards the archery section.

"Good luck!" I said. Not loud, but enough for Rudy to hear it. How did I know? It's because he makes a thumbs up.

Rudy's pov:
Ugh, now I can't focus! I rolled my eyes. I take a big breath, aiming for the middle. I released the arrow, confident for it to be a bullseye. The arrow went straightly to the part that we all want. A bullseye. Yes! I smiled. I can hear a loud cheer on my right. "Nice!" Chris said. "See? I didn't make a bad choice" Agent Karya said proudly. "Good one Rudy!" Iman said. Even though it was simple, it somehow managed to make me blush. just a little. "I was paying more concentration, it's not big deal" I said covering my cheeks. 

Author's pov
After some practicing, They move on to the next practice session.

"Next stop - 4x200m.. Don't worry, we won't run today. Instead, we shall make a demo to help you guys understand the concept better. Come to think of it, the yellow house has already head back. It's expected since they practiced earlier today." Agent Karya said. 

"Alright, we're here. I'm planning to put Rudy as a first AND the last runner. Chris, you'll be the the second which leads to Iman, the third runner." Agent Karya explains. "Good luck running 2 times.." He added.

Author's pov:
The demo went smoothly fine as Agent Karya explains it perfectly. As the practice ended, Chris, Rudy and Iman thanked their mentor and went to their dorms. "Tommorow I'll need to practice 200m & 400m" Chris sighed. "Yeah, good luck" She said. Her tone doesn't sound worried though.  

As they went closer to the boys dorm, Iman has expected they'll excuse themselves. Instead, Chris is the only one who excuses himself. When he asks Rudy the reason he doesn't want to join him yet, Rudy only answers that he got stuff to do. Even though Chris isn't as close with Rudy, he surprisingly understood the assignment.

"What's up?" Iman asks Rudy. "You'll know" He answers, looks away and sigh.
