<P>Chapter 8, Protection, Lessons and Seeking Information</P>
<P>Kaz didn’t wake up early like he sometimes does on his own. His watch wakes him up early. Kaz fell off of his bed and bumped his head hard on the floor. He stands up and rubs the back of his head.<BR>&nbsp;“Ouch! That really hurt!” Kaz said out loud.<BR>As usual, Kaz1 greeted him.<BR>&nbsp;“Morning Kaz! How are you?”<BR>&nbsp;“Fine…” Kaz simply said as he walked to his closet to get dressed for class. He decides to wear all black and puts a robe on. He still wore his shurikens secretly under his robes. Kaz goes brush his teeth and washes his face. He walks out of his bathroom and walks by his computer. He looks at the screen and memories of last night flooded into his mind.<BR>&nbsp;“Why do I feel so uneasy…?” Kaz thought as he looked away from the screen to his bed. Shiri was still sleeping. Shiri was hurled up like a cat. Kaz walks over to Shiri and picks Shiri up gently. He holds Shiri close to him and covers Shiri with his robes to keep him warm and comfortable. He was about to leave his room, but Kaz1 stopped him.<BR>&nbsp;“Kaz, it seems that you are wanted into Mr. Misorá’s office right away.”<BR>Kaz sighs and nods his head in reply.<BR>&nbsp;“But, how do I get there?”<BR>&nbsp;“Just tell your watch that you are ready to go to his office.”<BR>&nbsp;“Alright… Watch, I am ready to go to Mr. Misorá’s office…”<BR>Within seconds, he was inside Mr. Misorá’s pinecone smelling office. For some odd reason, Kaz knew his visit to him would be very bad. Mr. Misorá was at his desk doing some work. He stops and looks up at Kaz with a blank face expression. Kaz knew he should bow to Mr. Misorá in courtesy, but he didn’t feel like doing it. Mr. Misorá waited for a few seconds before he spoke.<BR>&nbsp;“Morning Kaz. Had a good night’s sleep?” Mr. Misorá asked with a small smile on his face.<BR>&nbsp;“It was fine…”<BR>&nbsp;“That’s good. I’m guessing you know why I called you here, right?”<BR>Kaz nods his head in reply.<BR>&nbsp;“Then let’s cut down to the chase then… You are forbidden to go home for the rest of the year.”<BR>Kaz eyes opened wide with surprise and he could feel his anger rising.<BR>&nbsp;“What…? Why not?” Kaz asked trying his best to control his anger.<BR>&nbsp;“Isn’t it obvious? It’s too dangerous for you to go home. And, if you go home, they’ll be able to track you down. I’m guessing they have some kind of an interest with your pet. So they’ll go after you right away.”<BR>&nbsp;“But, what about Sarah and Roberto!? Won’t they get hurt for being with me!?” Kaz asked while still trying to control his anger.<BR>&nbsp;“You mean the two wizard students? They would be fine. It may be true that they were with you, but Team INFINITE are known for going directly to the source and ignore friends and families. They will only go after them if they get in their way of their plans. Which is why I am going to limit your freedom… You are allowed to wander around only the building you are staying at. You are not allowed to wander around in other buildings. In other words, as soon as class is over, you will be teleported back to the building you are staying at.”<BR>Kaz gritted his teeth in annoyance and in anger.<BR>&nbsp;“I know this will be a little hard for you, especially if you want to hang out with your friends, but it is for your own safety… As a precaution, a personal escort has been provided to you. Your escort will lead you from and room to room. If you want to stay inside a room for a long period of time, your escort will leave you alone for an hour before returning to check on you.”<BR>&nbsp;“Who’s my escort…?”<BR>&nbsp;“I’m not sure… That information has not been shared with me… Be glad that they have sent you to me and not Them… It would have been a lot worse…” Mr. Misorá said trying to calm Kaz down and let him see how bad his situation could have been.<BR>Kaz nods his head in reply.<BR>&nbsp;“I know… Do I get to keep Shiri?” Kaz asked suddenly.<BR>Mr. Misorá smiled at him.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes. Even though there is still a debate going on about that.”<BR>&nbsp;“A debate!?” Kaz said in surprise.<BR>&nbsp;“Yeah… Them are debating the issue of whether or not you should keep the pet… On one hand, we gave you the egg, which is technically yours to keep. On the other hand, Them are concerned for you safety… Although I have to admit that that is not the true reason, they just want your pet to experiment on it. However, our school is defending you to keep it. It was you that hatched the egg. Therefore you have the right to keep it- no questions asked. But, Them are a very persistent bunch… They will argue until the world literally crumbles…” Mr. Misorá said as he sighed.<BR>&nbsp;“Ah yes… I heard you named your pet… What is its name?”<BR>&nbsp;“Shiri…” Kaz replied while still holding Shiri in his robes.<BR>&nbsp;“Shiri? Interesting… Well, have a good day in class today Kaz. You are dismissed.” Mr. Misorá said as he went back to work.<BR>This time, Kaz bowed in courtesy.<BR>&nbsp;“Thank you Mr. Misorá and goodbye.” Kaz said as he was automatically teleported out of his office back to his room.<BR>Kaz sits on his bed and waits until the time came for his class to begin. He hears a knock at his door. Without getting up to answer it, he simply yells, “Come in!”<BR>His door opened slightly and a familiar face poked from behind the door. Kaz smiled slightly.<BR>&nbsp;“Well, it’s been a long time since I last saw you- Mr. Momona.” Kaz said.<BR>Mr. Momona smiled at Kaz.<BR>&nbsp;“Hello Kaz! Long time no seek huh?! How are things?” Mr. Momona asked as he opened the door fully to enter his room.<BR>&nbsp;“Fine! Hey, why are you here?” Kaz asked.<BR>&nbsp;“Why, I’m your escort!” Mr. Momona exclaimed.<BR>Kaz opens his eyes wide in surprise.<BR>&nbsp;“My escort?!” Kaz exclaimed in surprise.<BR>&nbsp;“That’s right!”<BR>Kaz laughs slightly.<BR>&nbsp;“Wow… They went that far back…” Kaz said in a low voice.<BR>Mr. Momona looks at Kaz and realized he was wearing a robe.<BR>&nbsp;“Ah! So you’re doing wizardry right now! How you like it so far?”<BR>&nbsp;“It’s okay, but I’m still not going to settle on one career… My answer remains the same.” Kaz simply said.<BR>&nbsp;“Well, figures you would still think that. Well, class will start in a few minutes. Remember, I have to escort you everywhere you go.”<BR>Kaz nods his head in reply.<BR>&nbsp;“I know…”<BR>&nbsp;“What’s up with the long face? It’s not that bad to have me as your escort, is it!?” Mr. Momona said with a hint of disappointment.<BR>Kaz waved in hands, trying to ‘chase’ away the feelings that he caused towards Mr. Momona.<BR>&nbsp;“That’s not it at all Mr. Momona! H-Honestly…! I am very glad that you are escort!” Kaz said with nervous smile on his face.<BR>Mr. Momona smiled in reply.<BR>&nbsp;“That’s nice to hear.”<BR>Kaz chuckles nervously. His face expression became serious.<BR>&nbsp;“Who assigned you as my escort, Mr. Momona?”<BR>&nbsp;“It was decided among some of the principals of the schools and Them.” Mr. Momona simply said.<BR>&nbsp;“Really? Hmph! Them are really a annoying bunch…” Kaz said.<BR>&nbsp;“Tell me about it…”<BR>Shiri moved inside of Kaz robes. Shiri must have just woken up from its slumber. Kaz opens his robes to reveal Shiri. Shiri jumps off of his lab and floats up to the top of his head. As always, Shiri rests on its belly on top of his head. Kaz eyes look up toward his forehead.<BR>&nbsp;“You seem to really like laying on top of my head…” Kaz muttered.<BR>Mr. Momona gasped in surprise.<BR>&nbsp;“I-Is that the creature I heard so much about!?” Mr. Momona asked with obvious excitement.<BR>Kaz smiled and nodded his head slowly to not knock Shiri off of his head.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes. Its name is Shiri.” Kaz said.<BR>Mr. Momona approached Kaz and looked at the creature closely.<BR>&nbsp;“It looks like a cat… But the ears are different and it has wings… What a strange creature…” Mr. Momona said.<BR>He pulls his head away from Shiri and stands by the door again. Kaz looks at Mr. Momona.<BR>&nbsp;“Hey Mr. Momona… How exactly are you going to escort me to class? I mean, my watch teleports me to class automatically… I mean, I would be safe just by using my watch- right?”<BR>&nbsp;“That is true Kaz… But, I don’t escort you to class. I simply follow you and make sure you are actually there. You are safe because all watches have tractors in them, which helps us stay up-to-date about all students in the school. However, like I mentioned before at the beginning of the year to you, the tractors are useless outside of the CFL schools. And, as you have probably figured out already, you have more protection inside the CFL schools then the outside.” Mr. Momona explained.<BR>Kaz nodded his head as he agreed.<BR>&nbsp;“I know… But, I still think there is a loophole in the system…” Kaz thought to himself secretly.<BR>He looks at Mr. Momona with a worried expression.<BR>&nbsp;“Mr. Momona… But, what about my parents...? How will they react about me staying in the school all year round? Including the months of we have… I mean, Mr. Rohead erased the memories of the witnesses that were there at the event- except for me and the other two wizards… If my parents are told about the situation, they might accidently tell someone else and could cause a panic in the areas… Are they even protected!?”<BR>Mr. Momona thought about it for a few seconds before he responded with a answer that he thought was good news to Kaz, but serious at the same time.<BR>&nbsp;“Your parents will be fine because they are professionals in their career field. Your father is a ninja and your mother is an elf right? Obviously, they are both good if they both survived “The Survival Test” and are still alive today. Team INFINITE was around way before your time and probably your parents, but they were still around for a long period of time to cause destruction. I’m sure your parents would react to the situation like all caring parents do, but they will not do anything so naïve as to tell people about their problems. Now would they?”<BR>Kaz nods his head in agreement.<BR>&nbsp;“Furthermore, your parents will understand the circumstances once Team INFINITE is mentioned to them. And, it’s not like they are limited from seeing you at the school. It may be true that you can’t leave the school, but that doesn’t mean your parents can’t visit you at the school.” Mr. Momona explained.<BR>Kaz nods his head and smiled at his answer.<BR>&nbsp;“Thank you…”<BR>Mr. Momona just nods his head in reply. Just as he finished his explanation, Kaz watch began to glow and so did Mr. Momona’s.<BR>&nbsp;“Well, it looks like class is about to start.” Mr. Momona said.<BR>Kaz and Mr. Momona was automatically teleported to the classroom. Kaz was teleported to his assigned seat and Mr. Momona was in the front of the class. Mrs. Kaold looked at him with a grouchy face.<BR>&nbsp;“How can I help you, Mr.-”<BR>&nbsp;“Momona.”<BR>&nbsp;“-Momona? I am getting ready to start class.”<BR>&nbsp;“I know.” Mr. Momona said as he turned to look at her.<BR>&nbsp;“You will see me only today in your classroom. I am simply here to escort Kaz from one room to another. As I’m sure that you read that in your memo that was sent to all of the teachers concerning Kaz.” Mr. Momona smiled knowing that she didn’t read the memo.<BR>&nbsp;“Um, yes well… I’m sure it is in the memo… I must have just misread it is all… After all, I am old. And old people tend to forget a lot of things.” Mrs. Kaold said in response nervously.<BR>&nbsp;“I’m sure you have.” Mr. Momona said sarcastically, but nicely at the same time.<BR>Mr. Momona waves goodbye to Kaz before he teleported elsewhere. Mrs. Kaold looks at her class and held her wand in the other hand.<BR>&nbsp;“Well class… Today we are going to finally assign wands. Since I didn’t get to do&nbsp; it yesterday due to that horrible stuff! I don’t know who did it, but once I find out, he or she is going to pay dearly!” Mrs. Kaold said in slight anger.<BR>Kaz was seated next to Roberto and heard him snicker silently. Instead of Kaz being seated between Sarah and Roberto, he was on the far right where Roberto was sitting at the yesterday. He tried to look around Roberto to look at Sarah’s face. Especially after what happened yesterday, he wanted to know how she was doing. He couldn’t see around him because he kept moving. Roberto’s Cero was rested on his right shoulder like usual and was looking around the room in boredom. Kaz gave up and decided to talk to Sarah later--- or as soon as he could since he would be escorted to his room as soon as his class was over.<BR>&nbsp;“I’ll be back class! I’m leaving for about a few seconds to get the wands.” Mrs. Kaold said as she disappeared within a second.<BR>As she said, she returned a few seconds later with a box in her hand that was sealed.<BR>&nbsp;“Pop quiz students!” Mrs. Kaold said.<BR>Some of the students groaned in reply. Roberto calmly raised his hand.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes Roberto?”<BR>&nbsp;“We don’t take quizzes or tests at any of the CFL schools. So, when you say ‘pop quiz’, you mean a quick question- right?” Roberto said with confidence.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes… If you prefer to hear it that way, then yes… It is rather a quick question. Anyway everyone… The question is, what is the specific name of the wand that changes shape?”<BR>Roberto hand shot up for he was the only one that knew the answer anyway. Mrs. Kaold sighed because she was getting tired of him answering most of her questions. But she had no choice since nobody else in the room raised their hand.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes Roberto?” Mrs. Kaold said with slight annoyance.<BR>&nbsp;“The wands that transform are called “Transformation Wands”.”<BR>&nbsp;“That is correct, as I should expect from you Roberto. Do you know why the shape for each person is different for wizards and witches?”<BR>&nbsp;“Yes! The shapes vary from one person to another because its shape is based on the personality or behavior of that person, sometimes it changes into the shape of what the person might be thinking of at that moment. This is why young wizards and witches are asked to keep their minds blank when they hold their wand so it can’t do that. For example, if a witch is holding a “Transformation Wand” and it turns pink. It could be for varies reasons. It could be here favorite color, she loves pink lemonade, she loves pink gum, or for other reasons- the possibilities are endless and practically impossible to know the exact reason for the transformation of the wand. There is even evidence, or rather rumors, that the wand could transform into something that has something to do with your future. Due to the rumors, the wands have been given the nickname, “Unpredictable Transformation Wands”.” Roberto said without being a showoff.<BR>Some of the students groaned at his long lecture and a few of them snored out loud on purpose to annoy him, except for Kaz and Sarah. Both of his friends were amazed by his knowledge, although Sarah was use to Roberto being the smart one anyway. Roberto ignored his fellow classmates and waited for Mrs. Kaold’s response. Mrs. Kaold nods her head in agreement.<BR>&nbsp;“More than the answer I wanted, but correct otherwise… Which is why the wands are wrapped up in vacuumed sealed plastic bags and are protected by a small amount of ki. Any questions before I hand out the wands?”<BR>Nobody in the classroom raised their hands, not even Roberto.<BR>&nbsp;“That’s good. Then I will hand them out.”<BR>Everyone in the room became excited and some of them fidgeted in their chairs from being overly excited. Kaz leaned against Roberto ear and whispered, “How is Sarah doing?”<BR>Roberto looked at him, but didn’t smile.<BR>&nbsp;“She’s fine… But, just be careful of mentioning the word fairy around her… The staff members of this school decided to give her another pet of her choice since her pet died under certain circumstances… To my surprise, she didn’t pick a fairy… She picked another type all together… She now has a new pet… But, I’m not sure what she named it yet…” Roberto whispered to Kaz.<BR>&nbsp;“What kind is it?”<BR>&nbsp;“Tell you later…” Roberto whispered back.<BR>Mrs. Kaold finally opened the box and she pointed her wand at the wands inside the box.<BR>&nbsp;“FLOAT!”<BR>All of the wands inside of the box floated. She sent one wand by one to a student. Many of them grabbed their wand with eagerness on their faces.<BR>&nbsp;“Don’t try to open them yet students… The spell hasn’t been removed yet off of them…” Mrs. Kaold said before any of the students tried opening them.<BR>Kaz and his two friends took theirs and waited. Once everyone got their sealed wand, Mrs. Kaold pointed her own wand at the students. A yellowish light glowed around her and her wand.<BR>&nbsp;“I give thee permission to unseal you and use you at their own will!” Mrs. Kaold said as a yellow light shot out from her wand and hit all of the sealed wands at the same time.<BR>All of the wands in the room glowed a bright yellow temporarily before the light disappeared as ‘sprinkles’. Mrs. Kaold pulls her wand away from the students and puts it inside her pocket.<BR>&nbsp;“Now all of you may open the sealed bags. However, please keep your minds blank of any sort of images. Or, at least try too… Otherwise, what Roberto mentioned earlier may happen… Everyone understands?” Mrs. Kaold asked.<BR>Some of the students nod their heads in reply while others opened their bags with excitement. Kaz wand was still sealed inside the vacuumed sealed plastic bag. He was looking at it with worry and somewhat confusion.<BR>&nbsp;“Why did she give me one? I’m not a real wizard nor am I going to pick wizard as my career… I don’t understand… If I open it, will I automatically become a wizard?” Kaz thought while still looking at the wand and not noticing Mrs. Kaold approaching him in his seat.<BR>Mrs. Kaold stopped in front of his desk and looked down at him.<BR>&nbsp;“Open it.” Mrs. Kaold said simply, with no hint of compassion at all.<BR>Kaz looks up at her with surprise.<BR>&nbsp;“Bu-but Mrs. Kaold…! If I open it, won’t I-”<BR>&nbsp;“I said, open it!” Mrs. Kaold repeated with a little annoyance in her voice and with a little more force.<BR>Kaz looks back at his sealed wand and opened it slowly.<BR>&nbsp;“Damn… And I really didn’t want to become a wizard… I guess it can’t be helped…” Kaz thought as he finally opened it.<BR>Kaz opened it, but he didn’t take it out of the plastic itself.<BR>&nbsp;“Now, pick it up.” Mrs. Kaold said.<BR>Kaz did as she told him and waited for the wand to change. However, to his surprise, the wand didn’t change shape at all. In fact, there was no indication that the wand was going to change a little. It stayed in the same shape- a plain looking wooden stick, nothing more… Kaz looks back up at Mrs. Kaold in surprise but also confusion. Mrs. Kaold ignores his looks and goes back to the front of the class. She faces the class and waits patiently for everyone’s wand to change shape. Many of them changed into familiar shapes. But, there were two of them that made Mrs. Kaold baffled about their particular shapes- Sarah’s and Roberto’s. Roberto’s wand was in shape of what seemed like a dragon, while Sarah’s looked like a loose spring. The color of Roberto’s wand changed too, it turned completely white, very much like his Smagon. As for Sarah’s, her wand was different colors of the rainbow itself. Mrs. Kaold approached the two of them in the back and looks down at them both.<BR>&nbsp;“What strange shapes they have turned into… Were you guys thinking about something while touching the wand?”<BR>Roberto and Sarah both shook their heads. Kaz was still confused on why his wand didn’t change shape. He was about to ask Mrs. Kaold, but she had returned to the front of the front of the class before he could ask. Mrs. Kaold faces the class again and waited for a few more seconds before she decided to speak.<BR>&nbsp;“Now that of you have wands, you may start calling yourselves true wizards and witches. Any questions?”<BR>Kaz hand shot up, but she ignored him and continued.<BR>&nbsp;“Good. Then, would anyone like to explain why one of my student’s wand didn’t change at all?” Mrs. Kaold said as she pointed at Kaz with her wand.<BR>Everyone looked at Kaz. Kaz literally wanted to disappear from the classroom, because he can’t stand being stared at by so many people. He didn’t mind attention, but he didn’t like this kind of attention. He felt embarrassed and looked away to the side wall. Even when he looked away, he could still feel everyone’s eyes on his neck.<BR>&nbsp;“Well? Can anyone answer?” Mrs. Kaold asked again.<BR>Roberto waited for others to say something, but then he decided to raise his hand when nobody else in the classroom raised their hand. Roberto sighs quietly to himself before raising his hand. Mrs. Kaold shook her head a little in disappointment that only Roberto knew the answer- as usual.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes, Roberto?”<BR>&nbsp;“The answer is quite simple and any person would know this with common sense.” Roberto said, basically insulting everyone and calling them stupid.<BR>Roberto continued, despite the angry glares he was getting from some students in the classroom.<BR>&nbsp;“Kaz wand didn’t change shape because he didn’t pick wizard as his career. That stuff that we drink doesn’t just mean that we picked that career for life, but we change physically and mentally- that includes our ki, or energy. Everyone who is a wizard has a special type of ki compared to a ninja or any other career. Even if a ninja picked up one of these wands, it would not change form because his ki is different compared to a wizard. How different, you ask? Well, that type of information is unknown to common people such as me. In other words, that type of information is under protection by the government himself.” Roberto explained as he sighed and folded his arms.<BR>Some of the students groaned, but Mrs. Kaold ignored them and clapped her hands lightly together.<BR>&nbsp;“Very good Roberto. That is correct! Of course, I am not surprised since it is you after all…” Mrs. Kaold said.<BR>&nbsp;“Now, since that is out of the way. I can move on to the real lesson for the day.” Mrs. Kaold said as she looked at her watch.<BR>&nbsp;“We have about 22 minutes left of class. Just enough time...” Mrs. Kaold continued.<BR>&nbsp;“Depending on the shape of your wand, each of you will have to study different types of spells. In other words, the wands are supposed to change shape that is environmental related. To test what type of environment your wand is, you all need to do the cup of water test.”<BR>Mrs. Kaold disappeared for a second and came back with another box full of cups. She left again and returned shortly with a jug of water.<BR>&nbsp;“Now, I need all of you- those of you that have a transformed wand. To please stand up, come to the front of the class, and stand in a straight line.” Mrs. Kaold instructed as she put water into one of the cups.<BR>The students got up from their seats and followed her instructions. Mrs. Kaold held the cup of water in her hand.<BR>&nbsp;“Now, all of you will have to say the word, “Tesenviron” while pointing your wand at the cup of water in my hand.” Mrs. Kaold said.<BR>&nbsp;“What will happen to the water?” one student asked out loud.<BR>&nbsp;“The results vary, I’m afraid... If your wand is a ‘fire type’, it would boil the water. If your wand is an ‘ice type’, it would freeze the water. And so on… Most wands have different shapes. However, the element of the wand doesn’t change at all. This is why the water test is used to determine the type of element it is. Once you know what type of element your wand is, you should study spells the most that are the same element. Don’t get me wrong, you can study other spells that are different elements altogether, but your wand will not be as strong with other elements.” Mrs. Kaold answered.<BR>Some of the students was impressed by her lecture and murmured in response. The class got noisy after a few seconds, students now hoping that they will have a certain element. The first one that went up, his wand turned out to be an earth or ‘plant’ type because a small vine grew out of the water. Others turned out to be ice, fire, earth again (but the water turned into mud), and so on. When Roberto went up, he already knew what his was going to do. Even Kaz knew what Roberto’s wand element was. They was expecting the water to boil to indicate that he had a fire-type wand, but something else happened instead that it even surprised Mrs. Kaold. The cup of water in her hand boiled rapidly and then it turned yellowish with red mixed with it. And then, the surprising thing was that it turned into lava. Mrs. Kaold had to throw the cup behind her before the cup completely dissolved in her hand that would cause severe burns. The lava began to seep through the floor. Before the lava could get too far, Mrs. Kaold pointed her wand at the lava and enchanted a spell quickly. In result, ice surrounded the lava and froze it in its place. Students looked at it in amazement and somewhat looked at Roberto in fear of how strong his elemental wand was. Mrs. Kaold looked at Roberto with concern and seriousness.<BR>&nbsp;“Roberto, have you used this type of elemental wand before?” Mrs. Kaold asked.<BR>&nbsp;“No.” Roberto lied with a blank face.<BR>&nbsp;“Even if you have or haven’t, your wand seeped out more ki than required for such a small and simple spell… In other words, your wand is not normal for a fire type… I’m not really sure how to put it… The only way I can describe it is that your wand is a very powerful wand… It’s not at a normal level, otherwise it would have just made the water boil. But instead, your wand did three different things to show that it was a fire type… When it changed the color of the water, it was already showing that it was on a completely different level to begin with. Making the water turn into lava is not even on a ‘normal’ high level… In other words Roberto, only once in maybe a million years, that such wizards are gifted with such a unique wand shape and power…” Mrs. Kaold explained.<BR>Roberto didn’t say anything nor looked at the faces of his classmates- not even his two friends. Roberto feelings could not be seen easily by Kaz or Sarah. Since his eyes was always covered by that white cloth, it was hard to tell what was going through his mind or how he was feeling. Roberto calmly stood there and waited for Sarah’s wand element to be discovered.<BR>&nbsp;“Okay then… Let’s move on… You’re the last one.” Mrs. Kaold said, indicating Sarah.<BR>Sarah pointed her wand at the cup of water and softly enchanted the spell Mrs. Kaold said. To everyone’s surprise, even Roberto, the water in the cup did four different things at once. A quarter of the water turned into ice, the other quarter turned into mud, the other quarter boiled, and the last quarter of it stayed as water, but looked more clear. Mrs. Kaold eyes widened in surprise and she looked at Sarah with curiosity.<BR>&nbsp;“Sarah, wa-was your mind blank before you touched your wand?” Mrs. Kaold asked.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes.” Sarah lied.<BR>&nbsp;“I-I have nothing to say about yours… That your wand is strong in one element. The only thing I can is that your wand is equal among all of the elements… In other words, you can study all of the elements without worrying which element is the strongest for your wand… Also, your wand may not be affected by other element attacks from other wizards or witches… A very unique wand indeed!” Mrs. Kaold concluded.<BR>Everyone returned to their seats one by one. Roberto and Sarah went to their seats last. As they were walking back to their seats, they could see the students staring at them with different expressions and feelings towards them. A few of them were nice expressions, while others showed hatred, jealousy, disgust, or fear. Kaz wasn’t showing any type of expression that was hurtful, but more rather supporting type of expression. He gave them both thumbs up once they reached their seat.<BR>&nbsp;“Nice going guys! I should have known that you two are going to be the best of the best in the class.” Kaz said quietly with a smile.<BR>Roberto and Sarah smiled back at him. Cero was keeping Kaz busy while they were up. But, he was still curious about Sarah’s new pet. Figuring that Sarah was in a good mood, he tried to ask her.<BR>&nbsp;“Hey Sarah… About your new-”<BR>Roberto covered Kaz mouth so quick that Kaz thought he was trying to stop him from breathing. Roberto lets go of Kaz mouth after a few seconds went by.<BR>&nbsp;“Don’t ask about her pet… Memories of Swirly may come into her mind… And, didn’t I tell you that I would tell you later about her pet selection!?” Roberto whispered at Kaz in slight anger.<BR>&nbsp;“I know that! You didn’t have to cover my mouth you know! And just in case you haven’t noticed, I am being escorted everywhere I go! I can’t leave the building I am staying at unless I am going to class! How are you going to tell me then!?” Kaz whispered back in slight anger.<BR>&nbsp;“Don’t worry about that! Now, stop talking to me or Mrs. Kaold will think we are trying to distract her class!” Roberto whispered before he returned to his upright position.<BR>&nbsp;“Well students, class is going to end in a few seconds… See you all later.” Mrs. Kaold said.<BR>She looks at Roberto and Sarah.<BR>&nbsp;“Except for you two, Roberto and Sarah. I am keeping you two back for a second.”<BR>Just as she finished her sentence, a loud bell could be heard throughout the room. Everyone disappeared one by one, even Kaz. Kaz was returned to his room instead of being teleported to the game room like he set his watch to. He lands on his bed and looks around his room. He didn’t see Mr. Momona anywhere. Kaz wondered what Mrs. Kaold wanted with his two wizardry friends, but he couldn’t even go back to see for himself, nor could be ask them during his break. Kaz sighed in disappointment and in frustration.<BR>&nbsp;“This is getting annoying!” Kaz thought.<BR>He turns on his watch and looks at the menu of the ‘Teleportation System’. As he thought, all of his options were grayed out and crossed out, indicating that he couldn’t go to those places by teleportation.<BR>&nbsp;“Them are really trying to make my life harder- are they?” Kaz asked himself in his thoughts sarcastically.<BR>Just then, his door opened and there was Mr. Momona.<BR>&nbsp;“Well Kaz, this would be you first day with me. Is there anywhere you would like to go?” Mr. Momona asked.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes… I would like to see my wizard and witch friends.” Kaz simply said.<BR>He knew what Mr. Momona would say, but he figured it wouldn’t hurt to try to convince him.<BR>&nbsp;“I’m afraid I can’t do that Kaz… You already know the answer to that I’m sure… You’re only allowed to ‘explore’ this building.” Mr. Momona said.<BR>Kaz sighed and pouted. Mr. Momona looked at him.<BR>&nbsp;“And don’t try to convince me to take you anywhere either. It won’t work.” Mr. Momona said in response to his pouting.<BR>Kaz sighed and got off of his bed. Shiri was still on top of his head. He almost forgot Shiri was on top of his head. And then a strange question popped into his mind.<BR>&nbsp;“How does Shiri go to the---- bathroom…? I haven’t seen Shiri float anywhere alone to use the restroom…” Kaz thought.<BR>&nbsp;He decided to not think about it anymore. He asks Mr. Momona to take him to the game room. While Mr. Momona was taking him there, Kaz thoughts did not fade away concerning Shiri.<BR>&nbsp;“And, what-no-when did Shiri last eat? I mean, when I eat, Shiri doesn’t look at me for food nor does Shiri do anything normal animals would do… Most animals would go searching for food or hunting rather… I haven’t seen Shiri do any of these things though… Why haven’t I?” Kaz thought.<BR>Just as Mr. Momona and Kaz was getting closer to their destination, Kaz changed his mind of playing games and decided to go elsewhere.<BR>&nbsp;“Mr. Momona, can you take me to the library instead?” Kaz asked suddenly.<BR>&nbsp;“The library? Sure!” Mr. Momona said with a smile as they changed course.<BR>Within a few minutes, they reached their destination. Kaz and Mr. Momona enter the library.<BR>&nbsp;“Greetings Mr. Momona and Kaz. How may I help you?” Kaz1 asked.<BR>&nbsp;“Well, if I can’t figure out what Shiri is on my own, I might as well try searching about Shiri… There must be something about Shiri…! An old legend, a rumor- something!” Kaz thought.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes… Are there any books about strange creatures that look like---- cats?” Kaz asked.<BR>&nbsp;“Let me look in the database.” Kaz1 said as a whirling sound could be heard in the background.<BR>Kaz saw a bench nearby and sits on it while waiting. After a few minutes of nothing but the whirling noise, Kaz1 ‘spoke’.<BR>&nbsp;“Well Kaz, I have good news and bad news… Which one would you like to hear about first?”<BR>&nbsp;“Give me the bad news…”<BR>&nbsp;“Well, you need special permission to read these books- offline and online…”<BR>&nbsp;“Figures… The good news?”<BR>&nbsp;“Mr. Momona could help you get the special permission to get the books and they are all available here in this library.”<BR>Kaz thinks about it and looks at Mr. Momona.<BR>&nbsp;“What do you say Mr. Momona? Would you do that for me?” Kaz asked his escort.<BR>Mr. Momona was busy looking at some book, but he takes it away from his face to look at Kaz briefly with a smile on his face.<BR>&nbsp;“Of course I would! It’s the least I can do! I really do feel bad that you have to stay locked up in this building you know…” Mr. Momona replied as he went back to reading the book he had in his hand.<BR>Kaz nodded his head and smiled in reply.<BR>&nbsp;“Thank you…”<BR>Kaz gets up from the bench and decides to walk around a bit. After walking around, ‘The Survival Test’ all of a sudden popped into his mind.<BR>&nbsp;“I wonder if they have engineering type of books…” Kaz thought.<BR>&nbsp;“Hey Kaz1… Are there any type of engineering books?”<BR>&nbsp;“Yes… Millions of them. What are you looking for specifically?”<BR>&nbsp;“I’m not really sure… But, something that could help me build things that would help me with ‘The Survival Test’ would be great.”<BR>&nbsp;“Well, that lowered your list to about 10,000 to 20,000 books. Anything more specific Kaz?”<BR>&nbsp;“Hmmmm…. How about for fighting purposes?” Kaz asked.<BR>&nbsp;“Your search is about 5,000 books. More specific?”<BR>&nbsp;“Okay… How about making something that could be used as transportation and for fighting purposes?”<BR>&nbsp;“Okay, your search is not too bad now… It’s at 500 books now. Would you like to try again?”<BR>&nbsp;“No… I give up kind of… No wait! How about ones that have been successful in both categories?”<BR>&nbsp;“You’re search went down to 200 books.”<BR>&nbsp;“Great! Just send them down to me and I’ll look at them one by one quickly- please…”<BR>&nbsp;“Give me a few minutes to get them for you.”<BR>Kaz reached the back of the library and found the bed that he saw on his first day at CFL. He sits on it and waits for Kaz1 to return with the books. As Kaz1 said, it returned with the 200 books within a few minutes. They appeared in front of Kaz so fast that he had to blink to make sure those were really the books in front of him. They were stacked neatly in rows in front of him. He takes one book at a time and scans through them. About time he was finished, class was about to start again. He decided to take ten of the books and he returned the other books he had, even though he didn’t finish reading them. He stores the books into his watch and waited to be teleported to his class. Within seconds, he was teleported to class with Mr. Momona behind him. Mr. Momona left shortly after Kaz was safely inside of his classroom. Mrs. Kaold greeted her students.<BR>&nbsp;“Welcome back students! Since everybody now knows the element of their wands, please take out your books and read for a few minutes.” Mrs. Kaold said as she went to her desk and sat in her chair. Everyone took out their books, even Kaz. He was happy that he decided to get books for all of the classes in the beginning of the year. As everyone read quietly, Kaz decided to take this silent moment to ask Roberto a few questions. And he hoped he would get answers.<BR>&nbsp;“Roberto, you never told me about Sarah’s pet… And, if you don’t mind me asking, what did Mrs. Kaold say to you and Sarah when class ended?” Kaz whispered as he used his textbook to cover his face so that Mrs. Kaold couldn’t see him talking.<BR>Roberto leaned a little to the side towards Kaz.<BR>&nbsp;“Even if I did tell you what she picked, you wouldn’t know what it is… But, if you must know, her pet is a Difly. As for Mrs. Kaold talking to us, she just told us to train real hard and gave us some long lecture about reading books that could help us and all that stuff… You know how she is…” Roberto whispered.<BR>&nbsp;“A Difly? What is that?”<BR>&nbsp;“I told you that you wouldn’t know… But, I’m sure it is in the textbook somewhere… Why don’t you look first and then ask me questions afterwards.” Roberto whispered as he went back to his reading.<BR>Kaz lays his book on top of his desk and looks through the book. He found a quick summary and description about Diflies. It read:<BR>Diflies are round, smooth, rubber-like, and come in different colors. They have very large round eyes that look adorable and can change colors based on their emotions (like blue for sad etc…). They have small wings on the top of their head. They will either be angel-like wings or bat-like wings, depending on their owner’s personality overall. The wings on top of their head will be see-through (clear) type of wings. The wings will change and become permanent after being with their owner for over three weeks (almost a month). At first, they are very small (about the size of a regular round rubber ball), but they grow slightly bigger over the years. Their max size is about 1 foot wide and height.<BR>Kaz blinked a few times and then read the information over to make sure he read it correctly.<BR>&nbsp;“That’s it? That is all I need to know about Diflies? Sometimes I wonder…” Kaz said softly to himself.<BR>He closes his textbook. He figured there was no reason for him to read since he was not a wizard after all. He leans his head on his desk and waits for Mrs. Kaold to start her lesson. After a few minutes of silence with just the students reading, Mrs. Kaold got up from her seat.<BR>&nbsp;“All of you may stop now.”<BR>Everybody closed their books and stored them back into their watch.<BR>&nbsp;“Now, we are going to get a little serious!” Mrs. Kaold said with a small smirk on her mouth.<BR>She points her wand at the ceiling and softly enchanted something under her breath that nobody caught what she said, not even Roberto. However, the student’s questions were answered within seconds when the whole room changed. They were now on a field full of spooky trees and inside a dark looking forest. The only thing that lighted up the place was the moon itself and everybody’s watches that turned on automatically. Animals could be heard in the background of the dark forest. From owls to something growling and howling in the distance.<BR>&nbsp;“Now my students… This is when the lessons begin or exercise rather… I have asked all of you to study those spells on your own while taking breaks and whenever you have free time. So, if you have studied any of those spells, then you will be fine. However, if you haven’t, then you might as well give up now.” Mrs. Kaold said without changing her voice or showing any type of sorrow.<BR>&nbsp;“Here is the ‘test’ my students. Inside of this forest, I hid 100 flasks that contain different contents in them. Your task, my students, is to just get one of them and bring them to me. Are there any questions?”<BR>&nbsp;“Yes… Um, Mrs. Kaold, what happen if we don’t finish the task?”<BR>&nbsp;“That’s easy… You just keep taking the same task until you bring me one. For those of you that have--- or will---- finish the task will basically have a lot of free time to yourself. Until everyone in the class has completed the task, this task will be repeated for those that do not complete it. Are there any other questions?”<BR>Roberto’s hand went up this time.<BR>&nbsp;“Yes?”<BR>&nbsp;“Mrs. Kaold, if I may ask, are there dangerous animals in this forest?”<BR>Mrs. Kaold simply shrugged her shoulders, as if she really didn’t know.<BR>&nbsp;“I don’t know if there are or not. But, if there are, I assure you that none of you will get hurt enough for them to go as far as eating you. But, I have faith in all of you because I’m sure all of you studied the materials I have assigned you- right?”<BR>Nobody said anything, only the sounds of the dark forest could be heard.<BR>&nbsp;“I know there is no such thing as homework, quizzes, or tests, but that doesn’t mean there is no such thing as exercises. I really don’t care if any of you fail, for I am not the one that made that decision. You have to blame yourselves for your own failure.” Mrs. Kaold said coldly.<BR>She walks to the side to get out of her students way.<BR>&nbsp;“You all can begin anytime, I really don’t care.” Mrs. Kaold said as she sat down on the ground.<BR>Everyone took out their wands at the same time and a few of them told their pets to go ahead without them, not including Roberto’s and Sarah’s pets. Cero was still on Roberto’s shoulder and Sarah Difly was being held in her arms. Roberto looked at Sarah.<BR>&nbsp;“You know, she never said that we had to go alone.” Roberto said.<BR>Sarah smiles at him.<BR>&nbsp;“Thanks Roberto… But, I would like to go alone… I must learn how to defend myself or I will be useless… Useless and I will not be able to help when trouble comes… Like-” Sarah let the sentence drift off as she forced herself not to cry.<BR>Roberto simply smiled lightly at her.<BR>&nbsp;“I understand…”<BR>Roberto’s looks at Cero.<BR>&nbsp;“Ready Cero?”<BR>&nbsp;“Ku!”<BR>Roberto smirks. Roberto started to move forward, but another classmate of his blocked his path.<BR>&nbsp;“So, smarty-pants Roberto can’t go alone in the dark forest. He needs a girl to help him? You are really pathetic!” His classmate teased him.<BR>Roberto looks at his classmate hard in the eyes before he rolled his eyes.<BR>&nbsp;“Jahkiss, what do you want from me?” Roberto said.<BR>Jahkiss had dark green hair. His hair was spiky in front, smooth in the back, but in a ponytail where his hair was cut short. His eyes were dark green too, matching his hair perfectly. He wore a robe like Roberto that looked black at first, but it was actually dark green. He wore black boots. His face had this grin, one of his canine teeth stuck out on the side. He looked like a vampire with a tooth missing. His eyes were slightly slender, like Chinese type eyes. Jahkiss was the same height as Roberto.<BR>&nbsp;“Nothing! I’m just really surprised that you would rather travel in a group! You really are pathetic! I bet you are afraid of the dark!” Jahkiss continued to mock him.<BR>Roberto really wanted to get to the forest so that he could do his task quickly. Without a second thought, he balled up his fist and punched Jahkiss in the stomach hard. Jahkiss gasped in surprise and pain as he held on to his stomach as he crouched slightly. Roberto looks down at him.<BR>&nbsp;“Mrs. Kaold never said that we couldn’t attack each other either. If you get in my way again, I assure you that I will not hold back on you Jahkiss.” Roberto said as he walked around him and entered the forest without looking back.<BR>Sarah looks at Jahkiss and then entered the forest herself. Jahkiss straighten himself up and then entered the forest with obvious anger on his face. Kaz was getting ready to go in next, but Mrs. Kaold stopped him.<BR>&nbsp;“Are you sure you want to go in Kaz? After all, you have no wand and it would be meaningless to try this exercise.” Mrs. Kaold said with slight concern.<BR>Kaz smirks at her.<BR>&nbsp;“It doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t have fun right? Or at least try, besides I’m not that weak.” Kaz said as he entered the forest.<BR>Once he entered the forest, he walked a slower pace, trying to not make one sound. It wasn’t like he was afraid. He was worried that someone may attack him. Remembering Roberto words made him more alert and he didn’t want to risk being hurt at all. He somehow knew that Mrs. Kaold was somehow telling the truth about the dangerous animals in the forest.<BR>&nbsp;“I don’t think she meant the animals in the forest being dangerous, but her students being dangerous… Everyone is going to be on guard and probably nervous for their lives. Therefore, any strange sounds they hear nearby they will attack without thinking if it is a classmate or friend. They will automatically assume that the noise is from a dangerous animal… Mrs. Kaold didn’t really know because she is labeling her students as the animals, but she isn’t sure if they are dangerous or not… Mrs. Kaold really can be a jerk…” Kaz thought as he continued to walk with caution and looked behind him to make sure nobody was following him.<BR>Kaz kept walking, and then suddenly, he felt the same sensation that he had yesterday when Elighting first showed up--- a bad feeling that something was going to hurt him. Following his feelings, Kaz jumped sideways before he was hit with a sharp icicle. Kaz quickly looks at around to see who threw it. Once Kaz saw him, he wasn’t surprised at all.<BR>&nbsp;“Jahkiss! First it was Roberto, now it’s me! Didn’t the hit Roberto gave you was good enough for you?” Kaz said with slight sarcastic.<BR>Jahkiss revealed himself a little more from the darkness of the trees.<BR>&nbsp;“Hmph! Don’t try to be brave! You and Roberto are on two different levels to begin with! You can’t use a wand and Roberto can, therefore you are defenseless!” Jahkiss said as he pointed his wand at Kaz with a smirk on his face.<BR>&nbsp;“Coward!”<BR>&nbsp;“I’m not being a coward, I am simply returning a debt to Roberto is all.” Jahkiss said as his wand began to glow a little at the tip of it.<BR>&nbsp;“See ya!” Jahkiss said as he murmured another spell to shot another icicle at Kaz.<BR>Kaz tried to jump sideways again, but his foot was stuck, he couldn’t move at all! Just as the icicle was about to hit his face, a fireball came out of nowhere and melted the icicle in an instance.<BR>&nbsp;“I knew that you was going to go after Kaz somehow… You really are weak, Jahkiss.” A familiar voice said as he walked out from behind the darkness of the trees with his Smagon on right shoulder.<BR>Kaz gave him a small smirk.<BR>&nbsp;“You’re just in time, Roberto.”<BR>&nbsp;“Of course, as always.” Roberto replied back to Kaz.<BR>&nbsp;“Hmph! Who you’re calling weak? I’m sure you’re not referring to me Roberto.” Jahkiss said as he gritted his teeth in anger.<BR>Roberto looks at Jahkiss with a calm face expression.<BR>&nbsp;“I am referring to you Jahkiss. You are weak because you went to someone who is a friend of mine, instead of going to the direct source- me. You are so weak, that I don’t even want to fight you.” Roberto said as he helped Kaz out of his predicament so that he could move his legs again.<BR>Roberto and Kaz turned their backs on Jahkiss, which angered him even more.<BR>&nbsp;“Don’t you dare turn your back on me!” Jahkiss yelled.<BR>Roberto and Kaz ignored him as they started to walk away. Jahkiss pointed his wand at Roberto and Kaz.<BR>&nbsp;“ Grrr! ICE BLAST!” Jahkiss yelled.<BR>Roberto quickly turns around and pushed Kaz out of the way. He points his wand at the icicle that was quickly heading towards him.<BR>&nbsp;“ DRAGON BREATHFIRE!”<BR>The icicle and fireball collided with one another. Roberto still had his wand pointed at Jahkiss and Jahkiss still had his pointed at Roberto. That spell of his took out a lot of ki from him, but he wasn’t as weak as yesterday when he performed it on Elighting. Kaz stood up and looked from one to the other.<BR>&nbsp;“Are you being a fool Jahkiss? You already know my wand isn’t on a normal level. Why are you trying to still cause a stupid ruckus?”<BR>&nbsp;“SHUT UP! I’m sick of your meaningless lectures and words! You either fight me willingly or-”<BR>Jahkiss points his wand at Kaz.<BR>&nbsp;“-I will force you to fight me!” Jahkiss threaten.<BR>Roberto’s face remained calm and Cero started to get angry as he growled.<BR>&nbsp;“So, that is how it is?” Roberto said as he closed his eyes and then opened them again.<BR>&nbsp;“Fine, but you’re going to regret it…” Roberto warned.<BR>Jahkiss just smirked at his answer and pointed his wand at Roberto.<BR>&nbsp;“Then lets the games begin!” Jahkiss said as he shot out another icicle from his wand.<BR>Roberto dodges it by jumping to the side. He still had his wand pointed at Jahkiss, but he didn’t shot anything back at him. Before their fight got too far, someone else came out of the darkness and stood in front of Roberto- Sarah! Sarah had her springy-type wand pointed at Jahkiss. Her face was filled with obvious anger because her eyebrows were down in a frown and her face was slightly red.<BR>&nbsp;“I have a score to settle with you!” Sarah said at Jahkiss.<BR>Jahkiss laughed at her.<BR>&nbsp;“What is this, Roberto? She is protecting you!? That’s rich!” Jahkiss said as he continued to laugh.<BR>Roberto ignored him and looked at Sarah.<BR>&nbsp;“So, you want to fight him instead?”<BR>Sarah simply nodded her head.<BR>&nbsp;“Then take him. I will not interfere in any way…. Just make sure you come back unhurt, understand?” Roberto said as he walked away and he was engulfed by the darkness of the trees within seconds.<BR>Kaz wanted to follow him, but he wondered how Sarah fights. He decides to stay and watch the fight. Jahkiss stopped laughing and he could feel his anger reaching his highest peak.<BR>&nbsp;“Why you-!”<BR>&nbsp;“What? Are you afraid that you will lose to a girl?” Sarah mocked.<BR>&nbsp;“Lose!? You really are stupid… But, I won’t forgive you for interfering my fight with Roberto. You’re gonna regret the time you stood up against me!”<BR>Jahkiss pointed his wand at Sarah.<BR>&nbsp;“ ICE BLAST!”<BR>&nbsp;“ABSORB!”<BR>To Jahkiss surprise, Sarah’s wand illuminated that was a rainbow color swirl and sucked up the icicle that was thrown at her. Jahkiss gasped and looked at her with slight fear.<BR>&nbsp;“What the hell did you just do!?”<BR>&nbsp;“Didn’t you hear Mrs. Kaold explanation about my wand? If it can do all four elements, don’t you think it can absorb elements too? I just guessed that it might work, and as I predicted, it did. Now, I wonder if it and backfire too…” Sarah said as she pointed her wand at Jahkiss.<BR>&nbsp;“If what Mrs. Kaold said is right, that my wand is unaffected by other wands, then it should be able to backfire the same technique- but ten times more powerful.” Sarah said as the tip of her wand glowed a light blue.<BR>&nbsp;“ICE BLAST!” Sarah said.<BR>An icicle blasted out of her wand, but it was bigger and much faster than Jahkiss’s. Jahkiss was not going to be a fool, and decided to dodge the icicle by jumping to the side. He jumped just in time. The icicle hit the tree behind him, which broke the tree in half and froze it at the same time. Jahkiss looked at Sarah and pointed his wand at her.<BR>&nbsp;“Maybe I have underestimated you…” Jahkiss said while forcing a small smirk on his face.<BR>Sarah still had a frown upon her face and looked at Jahkiss hard in the eye.<BR>&nbsp;“You leave my friends alone… Or you can guarantee that I will be the one to hurt you!” Sarah said with seriousness.<BR>&nbsp;“Pfft! Whatever! I’m not into fighting girls anyway!” Jahkiss said as he walked away from the both of them.<BR>Sarah relaxes her arm on her side and smiled at Kaz.<BR>&nbsp;“Are you okay?”<BR>Kaz nods his head in reply.<BR>&nbsp;“I-I’m fine… But we should really be looking for one of those flasks… Class could be ending any minute now.” Kaz said as he left, leaving Sarah alone.<BR>Sarah walked a different direction from Kaz. Kaz kept walking and decided to look at his watch.<BR>&nbsp;“CRAP! I only have about 7 minutes before the class ends!” Kaz thought as he walked faster to try to find a flask.<BR>He kept walking and then he tripped on a rock. He fell flat on his face. Shiri jumped off of his head before he could force Shiri off of his head from his fall. Kaz looks up at Shiri while he was still on the ground.<BR>&nbsp;“Saved yourself huh? You’re selfish…” Kaz said as he rubbed his face.<BR>He stands up slowly and then he thought he saw something twinkle under the light. He bends down on his knees and starts looking through the ground, removing leafs out of his way. He smiled once he saw what it was.<BR>&nbsp;“A FLASK!” Kaz thought with excitement.<BR>He quickly picks up the flask that contained a dead bug and stores it into his watch. He starts walking back to where Mrs. Kaold was with Shiri behind him- now walking. He took out a shuriken just in case someone saw him pick it up and decided to attack him. However, he didn’t need to fight because he was lucky the second time around. He found Mrs. Kaold quickly. Roberto and Sarah were also there. Kaz takes the flask out of his watch and gives it to her. Mrs. Kaold looks at it carefully before deciding that it was a flask of her own.<BR>&nbsp;“Not bad for a normal human.” Mrs. Kaold commented.<BR>&nbsp;“Class is going to end in about a minute or two. Enjoy the rest of the day off you guys.” Mrs. Kaold said.<BR>Kaz joins his friends. Kaz was about to ask Roberto how he found his so fast, but someone rushed out of the forest and ran to Mrs. Kaold. It turned out to be Jahkiss. He held a flask in his hand with some kind of liquid contained inside it. He tosses it to Mrs. Kaold and smirked.<BR>&nbsp;“Easy as pie!” He commented.<BR>Mrs. Kaold looks at it and decided shortly that it was her flask. Jahkiss looks at Kaz and his friends and frowned.<BR>&nbsp;“Hmph! Too bad I didn’t get here first though!” Jahkiss said as he sat somewhere by himself.<BR>Before any of them could relax, all of the watches glowed. Within seconds, Kaz was separated from his group and was back inside his own room. Of course, without much surprise, there was Mr. Momona waiting for him by his computer.<BR>&nbsp;“Welcome back Kaz! How was class?” Mr. Momona asked.<BR>&nbsp;“Fine…” Kaz simply said.<BR>&nbsp;“Want to go-”<BR>&nbsp;“No thanks...” Kaz said nicely.<BR>Mr. Momona didn’t say anything but shrugged his shoulders. Kaz takes out one of the books he took out from the library and walked to his desk. He took out pencils, pens, and pieces of paper to start working on some ‘blueprints’ for his inventions. For the rest of the day in Mrs. Kaold class, as she somehow predicted would happen, the ones who didn’t retrieve one would be doing the retrieval flask exercise. Kaz and his friends didn’t have to do it, but neither did Jahkiss have to do it. During the breaks and in class with Roberto’s help, Kaz would still work on ‘blueprints’. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to see Roberto and Sarah after the last class for a long time. So, before the last class ended for the day, he decided to say his last farewell to them. <BR>&nbsp;“Well Roberto and Sarah, it has been fun while it lasted…” Kaz said without showing too much sadness.<BR>Roberto and Sarah smiled at him.<BR>&nbsp;“Same here Kaz… We will really miss you… I’m sure we will meet again though…” Roberto said.<BR>&nbsp;“Whenever you are allowed to leave again, I’ll make sure my mother makes a great dinner for you personally!” Sarah said with a smile.<BR>Kaz almost stuck out a tongue in disgust, but laughed instead and politely added, “I’ll look forward to that…” Kaz said with a smile.<BR>Jahkiss say this and laughed his head off.<BR>&nbsp;“What’s this!? I can’t even describe what I am seeing right now! This is showing how weak all of you are!” Jahkiss mocked.<BR>Sarah gave him this dark glare and he shut his mouth for a second, but continued laughing when she looked away. They ignored him and continued saying their last farewells to each other. When Kaz spent the last few minutes with them on his ‘blueprints’, he made sure that it would be memorable.<BR>Their watches glowed and Kaz waved a hand at them.<BR>“So long… Roberto, Sarah, Cero and-”<BR>&nbsp;“Pinky.” Sarah said, knowing that Kaz was trying to name her pet.<BR>&nbsp;“-Pinky…” Kaz finished.<BR>As soon as he finished his sentence, he was automatically teleported to his room. Of course, Mr. Momona was there and waited for him.<BR>&nbsp;“How was class?”<BR>&nbsp;“It was---- depressing…” Kaz responded.<BR>Mr. Momona looked at him in surprise, and then he decided to leave.<BR>&nbsp;“I’ll leave you for now… Besides, it is kind of late… Call me if you need me Kaz…” Mr. Momona said with a slight smile on his face as he closed the door behind him. Kaz wanted to work on his ‘blueprints’, but he didn’t feel like it at the moment. He forces himself to go to bed after a shower and all- although it was still somewhat early. He figured if he had a good night sleep he would feel better. He goes into his bed and looks at the ceiling with his hands behind his head. Shiri was cuddled beside him on his bed. He pets Shiri on the head gently and continued to look up at the ceiling. Shiri fell asleep a few minutes later. It took him another hour or so, before he finally closed his eyes and went to sleep.<BR>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>AUTHOR COMMENTS/NOTES<BR>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>ABOUT THIS STORY/NEXT CHAPTER: Liked it? Hope you did… SORRY ABOUT NOT PUTTING IT UP @ 4:30PM!! I had a MAJOR essay to do that needed to be done... Gomen (Sorry) again… I have to admit that this chapter was a little ‘lame’, but I had to cool it down a little after the bad guy stuff and all… And also, it was the best next thing for Kaz… He needs a break--- well--- Roberto needs one actually… Anyway, I’m sure am going to miss those two wiz’s a lot… Especially Roberto… He is personally one of my favorite characters so far… I mean, I still love Kaz as my top guy still (although he isn’t doing much right now…). Anyway, expect chapter 9 to be online NEXT WEEK. CHAPTER 9 WILL BE UP ON NOVEMBER 12 @ 4:30 PM (Eastern Time)!! I have already typed the chapter and it even has a title! Chapter 9 is titled, “The Spirit World”. Sounds interesting right? Look forward for a little action (like in this one with Jahkiss).</P>

Although, I don’t know when…</P>
<P>LAST WARNING:&nbsp; I must warn all of you ahead of time, that I will NOT UPDATE/DO ANY stories (my fanfiction ones) for the month of November- except for ONE. For the month of November, I have decided to focus on this story (CFL: Kaz Mo the Human, YEAR 1) because I have entered into a ‘Writing Contest’- and I have decided to work on this story since it is going to be a LONG series and all… So, don’t expect ANY updates during that time… Thank you for understanding.<BR></P>
