When Luna and Shadow finally reached back to their hideout, they found that everyone was already there.
"Hi! Luna!!" Alisa went and hug Luna. "Hello! Alisa!!" She hugged back.
"Yo! Shadow, welcome home." Luke said. "Thanks, Luke." Shadow replied.
"Isn't it great, that from the outside it is like we are living in a small village full of citizens. But the thing is, we are living alone here, and the fact that it's not a village but a mountain." Goliath said while lying on the bed in comfort.
"Yeah! And that's the power of our leader Hunter. With illusion made by his light magic, no one can find out that we are hiding here." Luna said.
"You sure love Hunter, right Luna?" Alisa said smiling. "Yeah! I love him the most! Not only me but everyone here loves him the most!! And can do anything for him." Luna said proudly.
"He is a lovable character, so like why not." Goliath said.
"Yeah, I know that. He has been kind to me, too, since I joined. Like he has known me for many years or like he was waiting for me." Alisa starts thinking about when she joined.
"I don't know what happened. Why do you guys start praising that idiot? He is nothing but a pervy old man. Hmph!" Luke said and threw himself on his bed.
By seeing Alisa's confused look, Blaze said, "Don't mind him, he loves Hunter more than anyone. One time, he was even about to go to fight a demon who hurt Hunter, at the age of 16." Blaze said, which made Luke pout; Alisa smiled and giggled, and everyone laughed at that.
"By the way you wanna know who came first after their mission, Luna!?" Goliath said in a teasy tone which made Luna more curious than she was before.
"Who!!?" She asked, excited. "It was our beloved member... Luke and his student... Alisa!" Goliath knows that Luna loves teasing Luke so he said it more funnily.
"Wait, wait, wait, why!? I mean, why did you come first... You should have not even come back, silly." She said which made Alisa confused and Luke embarassing.
"Wha- Are you out of your mind, Luna!? We went to train, not for anything else..." Luke said, pouting, which made Luna facepalming.
"Haha!! Well, where is Hunter, by the way?" Goliath asked Shadow as he always knows more than them, "Did he tell you something!?"
"I am sorry, but he didn't, he only told me to send our mission results to Sima village." Shadow answered.
"Sima village!? But that's too far. If he wants us to send results there, that means he is further than that place but doesn't want us to know... That creep!" Luke was worried but in anger.
"Sima village is known for many power holders living there. And the great thing is that they are on our side. That village is sort of our headquarters now. So they can protect Hunter if any problem occurs, right?" Goliath said because Luna and Alisa didn't know a thing about that village.
"Indeed, they are really trustworthy and help previous generation's revolutionaries in many ways, even though after so many years, they still. Now they are on our side, wholeheartedly." Blaze answered.
"Yeah, they even helped Blaze and mine training when we were noobs. But damn, they are a strong help, you know. All of them are too strong." Luke said.
"Woah! I didn't know about that, even though I was here before Shadow... He knows more. I am feeling left out." Luna said fake crying.
"It's not your fault, Luna. I do approximately all the outer jobs so it's necessary for me to know everything." Shadow said.
"Ooooh... Our Shadow-Luna is getting real...?" Luke said teasingly looking at Luna.
"Hey!! Noo! I mean, because of that mission, we are finally opening up to each other. We never talked much, but now we are doing... So what's the problem." Luna said pouting.
"Shadow, can you come outside? I need to personally talk with you." Blaze said in a serious tone suddenly.
"Yeah, why not Blaze." Shadow agrees.
"What happened to him all of a sudden?" Luke asked.
-Outside-
"What is it, Blaze?" Shadow asks politely. "It's about Alisa. Hunter said you will take Alisa after Luke." Blaze said out of the blue which shocked Shadow.
"But he didn't say anything to me at all." Shadow said confusingly.
"I don't know why he didn't but he did to me. But I don't want you to take her right now." Blaze said sighing.
"I don't understand. I mean, if Mr. Hunter told you that it would be me, so why not?" Shadow asked but still confused.
"Because I have something to do before that. And I need your help." Blaze said.
"Ooh, now I understand. Yeah, why not? Your work is more important, I guess; otherwise, you wouldn't be opposing Mr. Hunter's suggestion." Shadow said smiling.
"Yeah, it really is. Sorry for the trouble, Shadow, but now, after going inside, tell everyone that Hunter told you to send Alisa with Goliath and Luna after Luke." Blaze said ready to go inside.
"Why not you saying? And why with two of them together?" Shadow asks another question.
"I can't answer the first one..." Blaze said shying, "Two of them together because I don't think we have that much time to send her to everyone one by one, right?" Blaze said worriedly.
"Ok, I understood. Leave it to me about this, and whenever you are ready, we can go for your work too." Shadow said then both of them went inside.
-Inside-
"Here they are." Goliath tells everyone while both Shadow and Blaze come from outside.
"Well, I am sorry for the sudden thing but... Mr. Goliath and Luna, Hunter wants you two to train Alisa. Now it's your turn after Luke." Shadow gone straight to the point.
"Ooh!" Both Alisa and Luna got happy because they gonna spend time together, and Goliath gave a 'don't worry till I am here' vibe.
"I am looking forward to training with both of you, Luna and Goliath." Alisa said bowing in front of them.
"Alisa, why are you bowing to me too? I mean I am younger than you and stuff." Luna asks, giggling.
"Well, for now, you are my teacher too. Second is that you are a power holder, which means you are stronger and further than me. Age doesn't matter in this, experience does." Alisa answered smiling.
"Well, you really are a smart girl, Alisa. Even I am looking up to know you more." Goliath said, "Ok so we will move tomorrow for the train journey. I want to take you somewhere too, both of you." He said.
"Got it!" Both Luna and Alisa said in unison.
"Ok, then, guys, we should rest for now as all are tired of the journey." Luke said, yawning.
"Right!" Everyone said and went to their bed.
