《This time its my Turn》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Jhon's afternoon is mostly spent playing with Mike, who can be considered as Jhon's only friend.
Mike's mother let them play outside as long as they don't go too far or make too much noise.
It will disturbed big brother's Matt meditation.
This afternoon little Mike keep asking little Jhon about the morning training.
Jhon treat Mike like a younger brother so he answer all the questions of the little friend.
After the usual physical activities like running, push up and jumping rope, which little Mike accompanied him.
They rest under a tree, while Jhon tell Mike stories, mostly kids stories from Earth.
Little Mike treated Jhon as a big brother even if they have the same age, as Jhon is too mature for their age. Another reason is that Mike's older brother is always busy that Matt almost have no time to play with the little kids.
He's the pride of the village after all.
Before it gets dark both children go home, for they are both hungry from playing.
The villagers always sleep before 7 since there is no electricity here. They use some shiny stones and torch as light at night.
But the light of these stones are dim, they are only used to make the room not too dark during he night.
Torch are only used in emergency so they are only seen lying on some corner.
The morning comes and Jhon is already outside doing morning exercise which doesn't surprise his parents anymore.
After breakfast he is accompanied by his father again to the training ground.
This time there are 10 kids here including little Jhon.
The three from yesterday, one of them is a girl, then there are two who will take the assessment this year.
A boy and a girl both five years old. The last four are older one's, a girl and three boys. They are here to train to be a warrior, they failed the magic awakening when they are five but have good physique so they can take warrior assessment when they turn 8 or 10.

The one who trained them is not the village chief this time, but an old hunter. A middle age man with a scary lookin face.
Jhon saw him before with his dad and he calls him uncle Ted. He is another rank 2 warrior but I already too old to have a chance to enter rank 3.
Well, not too old since he's only on his forty, but they said its already hard to improve at that age.
The morning training is almost the same as what Jhon has been doing, after stretching, they run around the training ground.
The older one's take the lead and the other follows as much as they can.
Little Jhon stands out since he is the smallest one and the everyone knows he is just three years old. He only annoys his parents that's why they included him but they have no expectations for little Jhon.
They can't even wait to see the little kid give up or cry.
But to the parents and the instructor's surprise, only little Jhon can keep up with the older kids. He has the same stamina and speed as the five year old kids.
The four year old kids give up after a couple if laps, uncle Ted don't mind them just told them to rest for there are other activities coming up next.
After running, uncle Ted give them 2 minutes rest then comes the push up, squats and running in zigzag route with obstacles.
To Jhon's surprise, everyone can be seen trying their best even the four year old ones.
They don't complain even if they are too tired, they just sat and rest before continuing.
The morning training finished with a juice brought by village chief. He said this was created by the shaman and they must drink weather they like it or not.

Everyone was given a glass to drink, Jhon even request for another glass but was rejected.
The taste is not too bad but definitely not good.
'At least its edible' Jhon thought.
With this drink, little Jhon plans to push his body to its limit, well keeping up with the older kids is already his current limit anyway.
After resting the kids followed their parents to the river, where all kids take a swim before going home.
The next day, Jhon wake up early and did his morning exercise then goes to the training ground with his mother.
Jhon's dad goes hunting in the mountains with the fellow hunters so its mom who escort him this time. Little Jhon tried stopping his mom saying he don't need an escort for he can go there alone but failed to convince his doting mother.
Days passed by and Jhon now can go to the training ground alone when dad is busy.
The rainy season come and go after a couple of months.
When its raining there are no training so the kids can rest in these days but Jhon still do his daily habit.
After the rainy season everyone is back to the morning training.
Then one day, Jhon saw a group of strangers came to Greenleaf village. The group is made up of three adults and three children.
They visit the village chief and made a camp just outside the village, then another group came. They have three adults and only two children.
Jhon's father said they came from two villages away so they have to be here early since they won't make it if they come tomorrow.
Tomorrow, the delegates will come and test's the kids if they can study in magic and warrior school.
Jhon ask his parents if he can watch the awakening of other kids but got rejected since only those who accompanied the children can come.
Another night passed by silently, and the new morning is an exciting one for most, but just another day for little Jhon.
He just stayed home played with Mike and wait for the news.
Mike's big brother, Matt take the assessment as the only mage in Greenleaf village, with four others who take the warrior test.
The two five year old kids also go to awaken their viens, same for the neighboring villagers kids.
When Mike's father came home with Matt, the happiness in his face can be clearly seen. I looks like Matt will soon study on magic school.
Jhon's mother and the other neighbours came and congratulated Matt's parents.
Jhon and little Mike also promised they will became mages too. Among the kids who take warrior test, two from Greenleaf village passed.
Next month the delegate said that the school will send a boat to take them, so they should focus on training here first.
Those things doesn't matter to little Jhon, he only focused on training.
While its boring, he can clearly see the improvement if his body.
This improvement is his best motivation as days passed by.

"Do you know what to do, Amunet?" A voice as sweet as silk whispered into the young girl's ear. Amunet didn't look over her shoulder, but shifted uncomfortably on her bare feet before nodding her head. A soft hand touched her back and urged her forward. All eyes turned towards the girl dressed in transparent linen with her dark hair tumbling down her back and her violet eyes lined by kohl. Every movement caused the jewels on her wrists and ankles to dangle and shimmer in the light.She raised her head and found the Pharaoh's transfixed stare. His jade eyes narrowed in on hers and the room became still and silent.
