《Return (TOG)》15

The proposal Jahad made, was for Eran to play her flute for him. Whenever she did, Jahad give her a gift. Naturally, the only way he could do that, was through Eduan's bag.
"What?!" Eduan exclaimed. "Let me in too!"
"Pfff....!!" Eran could barely hold back her laughter. Jahad never wanted to pummel his friend as much as he did in that moment.
Eran placed the flute on her mouth, and played happily. Naturally, her pocket was in a call with Eduan and Jahad. Her body was also swaying to the tune, and her happiness could be felt from the music. Her legs swayed as she let them dangle free on the edge of the bed.
The guests and her teammates in the living room could faintly hear the tune, and also stopped to enjoy it. After 10 minutes, Eran stopped playing. Conversation continued outside, and Eran also left her room for food.
"You know my Viole... He's a genius!!" Jinsung proudly praised.
Yes yes, teacher. We all know. Eran giggled. Her teacher would never pass on an opportunity to praise Bam's achievements with people.
After a while, she retired back to her room. Just like that, four days have passed.
Eran thoroughly enjoyed this break. She spent time reflecting on herself, hugging people freely, and playing her flute. All of these things, Eran could never have done if she wasn't at peace with herself, or was calm enough to do so.
...
"Um... That's... The rival team has ran away." The ranker scratched his chin. "It seems they heard about Mr Viole on your team and got scared, so they ran away."
Eran whined. Currently bam was piggybacking Eran as she got too lazy to walk.
"Oh don't worry about the exam." The ranker reassured. "I prepared another interesting one."
...
"Hehehe!" Eran giggled as she spread out her arms. She inhaled in the salty scent of the sea, and relished in the sun's rays. By now, her teammates have gotten used to Eran being a kid.

Currently, the test setting was in the sea. Apparently, their job was to find the Flower of Zigena, that is inside the Zigena's body. The Zigena was a colossal creature. It surfaces every 10 am to sunbath. It flips it's body every 30 minutes, for 2 and a half hours.
In the meantime, we can enter through it's blowhole. One team would enter through it's exposed blowhole, while another team would swim to the submerged hole.
...
Eran entered through the blowhole that was on the Zigena's belly, under the water currently.
"Hehehe!" She was smiling happily. "That was fun!"
She never felt this way since a long time ago.
"Let's go!" ... ....
The five of them, Eran, Minseng the small girl, Goseng who is Minseng's sister, Wangnan, and the umbrella man were together. They were currently wondering how to get across a chasm with Flores all around.
"What is it flips while we're crossing?" Wangnan asked, concerned.
Just then, a small pink creature leapt out from behind them, and started hopping in the floated to cross the chasm.
"Look! The flower of Zigena is on its back!" Immediately, all of them got into action to chase the small pink creature.
"Hehehe~" Eran giggled, when her teammates failed to catch the nimble creature.
"Stop laughing Eran!" Wangnan scolded, before thee chase continued.
...
Just then, the small nimble creature dashed into a small hole.
"Minseng, only you can fit in." Eran commented. "Your wonderful teammate would be here to cheer you on!"
"That's right, Minseng." Wangnan agreed. "Only you can do this."
"... I can!"
Eran grinned. "I'll get going first! Cya!"
Now, where's Bam?
After a while, Eran eventually found him by following his shinsu. It was then, she saw a weird man half naked.
The man was undoubtedly beautiful. He gave off a very mischievous aura, and had crimson eyes. His skin was slightly tan, and he was muscular. He had dirty blonde hair, and was very confident.

"Bam, I didn't know the Zigena doubled up as a strip club." Eran spoke to him, disgust visible in her eyes.
"Hey!" The half naked man shouted. There was a tick mark on his face. Then, with a forced smile, he said "You've got guts huh~"
"At least I have a shirt, you ugly man."
"You brat!"... ...
"The moment this Zigena flips, my fists would kiss your cheeks!" Eran shouted. It seems like Yurin's violent tendencies rubbed off on her.
"Oh yeah?! Come at me! I'm not afraid!" The man taunted.
"Three... Two... One." The man counted down. "All right, you're all here. This is going to be more fun. So now... Let's start the game, babies!!"
Eran spat in his direction, before she dashed towards him with her fishing rod.
...
Eran admits that the man was very powerful. He effortlessly countered all of her teammates, and was about to attack bam.
"You're not running away?" He smirked. "All right!! Then I'll show you the legendary power! Supreme king's scorching fist of death!!"
Bam met his attack with the Floral Butterfly Piercing Technique. When both powerful attacks collided, Eran controlled the total shinsu that escaped from them to try and reduce the damage her teammates would take. Essentially, both would feel the brunt of each other's attacks.
While the man was flying towards Bam, Eran used her fishing rod to hook the edges of his Supreme King's Scorching Fist. Then, she pulled it so that the trajectory changed a little, and Bam wouldn't be hit as hard.
"What the..." The man was confused, when he felt his body slightly tilting to the right while attacking. He could also feel some force dampening his shinsu, making it weaker.
'Is it her doing?' he thought silently. 'Well, whatever.'
Just then, Minsung fell out of the pathway, and was about to be hit by their attacks.
"No!" Eran screamed, and quickly wrapped her in shinsu cloth. However, bam was quicker. To shield Minsung, he allowed the man to hit his back. He lay on the ground hugging Minsung safely.
Eran dashed over, and immediate assessed the damages.
Whew. This isn't too major. Bam won't die from this.
Eran placed her hand over Bam's wound, and started weaving shinsu I to something akin to a gauze, to stop the bleeding. Meanwhile, the man just looked at Bam's fallen form.
"I hope you lose all of your hair, you violent monkey." Eran cursed. Although bam would be fine, she couldn't help but worry for Bam, and her teammates.
The man said nothing. He merely held onto the small pink creature by it's ear. The link creature tried to wriggle and struggle, bit could do nothing to free itself of its predicament.
"That's strange... I didn't expect there to be another flower. It's a good thing though..." The man said. "Hey babies, you can take this flower. Now that this little one have been born, I don't need it anymore."
The man smiled. "I'll give it to you, so just take it. Tell him that it's the reward for his courage. The courage for protecting his teammates, while facing the strongest man."
"I'm going to make so many copies of it..." Eran grinded her teeth, and glared at the man. "And throw it in your face the next time we meet, you arrogant monkey."
One of Eran's abilities, was to make copies of things that have shinsu. While she could also make living creatures, it was harder and more complicated. But making replicas of plants and objects was nothing for her.
"Hahaha!" The man burst out laughing. "Then come and find me! I'm not afraid of anyone."
With that, the prick left.
"What the heck is he all about?" Wangnan asked.
"Look at his back!" Teddy exclaimed.
"Ma... Zino... Urek Marino?!" Wangnan couldn't believe his eyes.
The rest of the team was still in shock, even after the test was over.
