"Jian, should I bring this too?" Rui indicates ****** ********. Jian hurried to have Rui hide that.
"Are you stupid or what? Hide that sacred thing! What if someone sees it?" Jian looked up at the glass window that was plastered wide on the wall of their room.
"You said it wasn't transparent from the outside ...," Rui scratched her head.
"Already, already! Put it in the backpack. It is better not to carry too much, our backpack should contain more food. Finding food in the wild must be hard." Jian advised Rui not to take things wrong.
Tok tok!
"Friends, open the door!" Neo exclaimed from outside. Jian told Rui to immediately hide the girls' 'holy thing. Then open the door for Neo.
"What do you need to do here?" Jian asked coldly.
Neo reached out his hand, there were three bags of money there. "Take one for you, and one for Rui."
"What's the point of this? It's so small." Jian threw it at Neo's face, "I don't need that!"
Neo huffed, "You're so arrogant!" Neo picked it up because it fell to the floor.
Rui took hers from Neo's hands, "Is there money in it?"
Neo laughed, "Not just money, Rui. You can fill it as much as you can. Look at my pocket." Neo sat on the floor, joining Rui and the items they were about to carry.
Neo took out some snacks from the bag, then dozens of marbles, textbooks, dead phones, then a small book and a ballpoint pen, then a few pieces of underwear, then a few pieces of money, then ....
"Hey, Neo. You're not shy about taking out your sacred things?" Jian protested to see some Neo underwear lying in his room.
"Uh, you're tarnishing the eyes of these girls!" Rui closed her eyes full of drama.
"And why are you carrying marbles too? Just like elementary school kids!" Jian exclaimed in annoyance.
Neo grumbled, picked up his underwear and put them back in a small money bag, "I just meant to show you how big this money bag is! So I took out everything I put in it. It's all I'm going to carry on our journey" Neo explained.
"Those marbles don't just make it claustrophobic?" Jian did not understand why Neo was carrying so many marbles.
"Eh, I just moved what was in my school backpack. You know, right? For me, marbles are important!"
Jian remembered, in school, Neo loved to prank people with the marbles he carried. Neo was once sentenced to run thirty rounds of the field for making the headmaster's child fall until his wrist is broken, when Neo threw his marble when he caught the child bulldozing other students.
"really? So this is a magic bag with magic energy, huh? Can I take him home?" Rui asked interested.
"Whatever. The Queen gave this thing away for free for our trip. So you do not need to bring a large backpack, just put all the items you need into the bag. Then tie it to your belts. Guaranteed safe."
"Then, I'll bring some skincare. After trying it, it turned out that skincare made by Pubu City was very beneficial for my skin." Rui pulled a drawer on the table. There are some makeup and skin care equipment. Rui put everything in her money bag.
Jian looked in disdain, "You think we have time to do that?"
"I'll load everything, Jian. You also know, it's like a Doraemon magic bag." Rui was busy putting everything in a small bag.
"What did you bring, Jian?" Neo asked, because Jian did not put anything in his money bag.
"I'll just bring some clothes and supplies for the trip."
"Gee. He's so flat." Neo clapped his hands while chuckling.
Puk!
"Hey!" Neo exclaimed in protest, "Why hit my head?!"
...----------------...
Jian and Rui lay on the bed, but they had not closed their eyes. Perhaps imagine what they would encounter on this long journey?
"Rui, you're asleep, huh?"
"Not yet." Rui answered short.
"You think you still believe we're going home?" Rui fixed her sleeping position facing Jian who was lying down while staring at the ceiling.
Rui raised her hand forward, she looked at her hand that seemed to be holding the ceiling of the room, "In your opinion, I believe we become witches, Jian?"
Jian chuckled, "You're right. This is absurd. It doesn't make any more sense if we can actually go home."
"Let's fight for what we need, Jian. After that, we leave this world quietly."
...----------------...
The sun finally rises. Jian, Rui and Neo stood facing the Hudie Academy which had been their residence for a month. Now, it's time to come. They had to leave this beautiful castle.
Queen Hudie had their departure in front of her palace. The entire academy disciples watched them leave from the dormitory windows. Even Fu, Jez, Sue and Tomu went out of the dormitory to let go of them.
"Jian, Rui, Neo! We'll miss you!" they waved their hands at the three of them.
It's a slightly dramatic farewell.
Jian, Rui and Neo waved, saying that they would be back soon. The trip was kept secret, saying they only wanted to go home for a few weeks before going back to school again. Now they are really going to leave this cool magic academy. I don't know how long they've been gone.
"Jian, wait!"
Jian looked back. Agg ran up to him, "Jian, I didn't know you were leaving so fast. That fight, was it really the last time?" Agg looked at Jian full of regret. Why didn't he get to know this girl earlier?
Neo suddenly dragged Jian, "Don't waste time, Jian."
"Wait a minute, Neo," Jian brushed him off, "Agg. If there's something you want to say, hurry up, I don't have time to delay."
Agg pulled out a pearl necklace, "Save this. I don't know where you're going and for how long. But this will be very useful. Make sure not to lose it," Agg smiled.
"What's this?" Jian stared at the necklace Agg gave.
"It's something that has unique magical powers. Promise me not to lose it, will you?"
Jian nodded, "Goodbye, Agg."
Jian was thinking. Should he still be worried? Or start believing in success that is far in sight? All he can do is trust his friends. Jian did this because his friends did.
"Remember, Guys. We can't separate whatever happens." Jian clenched his jaws, staring at Rui and Neo one by one.
Neo grinned widely, "Have you forgiven me, Jian? You even considered me your friend."
Jian did not respond.
"alright. I am indeed innocent, what are you to forgive from this holy soul of mine?" Neo shrugged his shoulders.
But this trip, far from what Neo expected.
