" It's time for lunch. " said Hito

[ Is this guy nut's clearly it time for dinner it so dark outside with no sign if sun. ] said Justin.

[ This world is different from our world, here you rarely come to see clear skies the world is shrouded with dark clouds and it rains 24/7 here, making it impossible to tell weather it is morning or night as the sun is hidden by the dark clouds. I think i told you this earlier. ] said Malinda.

[man I hate is world firs t wet cloths and now no sun, how do this people survive ] replied Justin.

[ they have changed their way of living similar to our world how we all have adjusted to World Terror. ] replied Luka.

" guys, I said time for lunch. " said Hito looking at pspaced out James and the boys.

" Hito-san I did not think food will be also provided, then 1 gold coin sounds reasonable. " said James, stopping the greedy Hito for charing extra for food.

" No, the food is not... " before Hito could correct James, Leon interputed " sorry but we brought our own found and rations. you do not mind us using kitchen right. "

Hearing Leon that they had brought there own ration and food supply Hito gave up on pitting the team into paying extra money for the food. so he said " Leon-san why eat dried up meat when you have fresh food here this food is complimentery and if you want to use the kitchen then go ahead treat this wagon as yours "

" hey! why do they get food as complimentery when we have to pay for meals. " protested Masako, lord knows when she entered the hall.

" because James-san looks like my long lost friend, so he gets friends and family discount " retorted Hito.

" long last friend, you got to be kidding me.. " pouted Masako and soon sneered as she said" I am happy that you finally met your match. "

" Did I hear lunch, I love eating lunch during dinner " said Trisha as she entered the hall.

[ Didn't Malinda just explain that its time for lunch not dinner ] James asked Trisha through M-chat.

[ I was alseep I did not hear any thing ] reasoned Trisha.

[ if you were asleep how did you hear Hito calling for Lunch. ] asked James.

Trisha groaned and said " hehe! whats for dinner? "

Hito and Masako looked at Trisha as if looking at a Idiot.

" sorry this is my sister Trisha, she is little dumb don't take her words seriously if not for sir James ability she would never learn Japanese so fluently. she steel has hard time telling day apart from night." explained Mira.

" so she is a dumb ninja ... are sure it is wise to give sword , other sharp and deadly items in her hand " asked Masako.

" do not worry masako-san Trisha may be dumb but she is a dependable ninja " said James

" I am not worried about myself, I am worried for her master. you are scholar I am sure you must have read the story about ' Monkey with a Sword ' " said Masako Mockingly.

" hey! are you calling me a Monkey " Trisha glared at Masako.

Masako sneered as she responded , " you are not dumb after all, good for you "

" Thank you " laughed Trisha scratching the back of her head not catching the sarcasm in Masako's tone.

" Idoit " mummbled Mira, James glared at her and said " Hito-San please ask your guest to not to flap her mouth, disrespecting my people means disrespecting me. "

[ bro, what the hell? why are you trying to pick fight for such small reasons ? ] exclaimed Justin

[ James are you trying to get use killed. ] shouted Mira.

"Hey you bookworm got a problem with the way I speak, then say it to my face " said Masako

[ fuck! ] sighed Mira.

" who the are you calling bookworm, you mad woman " said Trisha glaring at Masako, if not for Mira and Janet holding her she would have already pounced on Masako. Ava was glaring at Masako with intention to kill. seeing the situation unfold out of their hands rest of the members fell into choas.

[ Malinda what's happening, you said Princess was a kind, caring, considerate, and compassionate woman but she is acting like spoiled rich kid] asked Janet.

[ Even though Masako is better than her siblings, she still is a princess and is spoiled like the rest of the them but she is not beyond help. In the original works after the death of her grandma her personality takes a huge turn and becomes kind, caring, considerate, and compassionate. ] explained Malinda

" Hito San I think I will have to take care of some trash in your Wagon. " said James as he glared at Masako.

[ James are you crazy, calm down think about the big picture the mainline task. ] finally Leon could not help but butt in. Leon looked at James and shook his head thinking ' I really overestimated him if his ego can't even handle this '

World Terror is not all about just strenght it is also about ones wisdom, wits, and many more. thick skinned, shamelessness and calm mind are some of them. Many students for exmaple students with rich and powerful parents usually grow up within a surrounding with themselves as the center. when they enter the World Terror everything changes according to the scenario, some become slaves, sexworkers, lowlife, cannibles, victim, not human etc unable to come in terms with the sudden change in their comfort zone they start acting out forgeting adout the main task leading to the faliure of the scenario. even if they are some how able to complete the scenario they come out incomplete apart of them is lost in the world terror.

Taking this into consideration the school has added different self help subjects and classes to their syllabus for example, acting classes, zen classes, self hypnosis classes, angermangement etc, but unfortunately these classes all are optional classes so, most of the students end up ignoring these classes seeking strenght.

even though these classes and course are optional many student opted these classes and courses as school rewared more and extra cridets for this subjects.

Leon had made sure that all of his team members including himself had completed few of these courses Mari, Luka and Malinda had all completed all these courses. Especially Malinda due to her condition had completed all the theory classes and self helf classes to fill the gap left by combat and physical classes.

One of his main reason for Leon to recruit James was that he also similar to his team members and himself had comleted to few of this self help classes and courses. predecessor James since his ability was not physical or strenght related he choose to complete this optional class to make up the cerdits. seeing James behavior clearly these self help classes and courses were of no use.

Just when the temperature of the room reached its lowest, A crocky voice soundedinside the wagon," Masako if you are board then go meditate do not cause choas. and you western kid this not west learn to control your emotion if you do not want to suffer. "

' humph ' snorted Masako as she filled her plate and walked into her room.

" thank you senior for your advice. " said James as he bowed politly towards the room at which grandma Tokugawa was in.

[ What the hell were you thinking James? ] asked Luka.

[ right what the heck were you thinking James? ] asked Mira.

[ This was a test !? ] exclaimed Leon looking at James.

[ you are quick to catch on ] mocked Ava, looking at Leon who gain sudden enlightment.

[ Test! what kind of test. ] asked Trisha

[ You ..... ] Mira looked at Trisha dumbfoundedly

[ don't look at her its her action which saved us all ] said Janet glaring at Mira

[ what do you mean? ] asked Mira unable to swallow the blame

[ your actions totally blew up our cover story, you fools clearly that girl was deliberately trying to stir up trouble to see our response and you fell for it. can't you see how that Hito guy was did not butt in just watched from the sidelines] shouted Ava looking at Mira, Luka, Leon and Justin.

[ According to our cover story we are servant of James and Malinda. Have you ever seen a servant question his master, even though you guys used M-chat to communicate, your body language, facial expressions and eyes gave you away. if not for Ava, Trisha and James timely response we would be in trouble right now. even though our cover is blown they do not cosider us ass threat or enemy. ] explained Janet.

[ wft! you are just speculating, that senior can clearly feel our strength and knows we are not a threat to them. ] retorted Mira, hearing Mira's response Ava and Janet just scorned.

[ They are right Mira, even though we are weak and not a threat to them we can be enemy scout etc ... but what I do not get is why did you not just alert use through M-chat. ] asked Leon, everyone looked at James with questioning eyes.

[ Because I think grandma Tokugawa can shom how moniter M-chat ] said James, hearing this everyone exclaimed.

[ there is nothing to worry about I think at most she can only feel M-chat connection between the nine of us but not actually listen in to our conversation, that is she knows that we are talking through mental connection but not what we are talking about. because if she did listen in to our conversation and knew what we are talking about then we all would be dead for breaking one of world Terrors restrictions. ] explained James.

[ If you had replied or alerted us, she would have seen the mental energy fluctuation originating from you or Ava or Trisha and started to doubt if all of this was a act. even little suspicion is enough a reason for the senior to act against us. ] exclaimed Leon.

[ I do not get it though ] replied Trisha attracting everyones attention on to her and continued [ if it were me and had a little suspicion about something or someone I would immeditely clear it, why go through all this act. ]

[ Its not you but The senior who is regarded as Edo periods savior and hero, she is not barbaric like you. anyway she should have her own calculations. but it is really frustrating to travel with some one who can take your life without you knowing ] replied Mari, what she said made sence to every one the pressure was getting to everyone one bad move and you dead fool.

Even James agreed with Mari for once only the powerless and frustrating part not the Edo periods Hero and savior crap. he do not know why Grandma Tokugawa did not kill them but one thing was for sure that Grandma Tokugawa is monitoring their every move and definetly calculating something.

This feeling of powerlessnes was very aggravating enough for James to clenched his fist so hard that his nails had dig into his palm.

" James-San do not think to much in to it, you are too young to grow gray hair. " Hito tried to lighten the mood in the wagon, he can clearly feel the depressed and fustrated emotions of the team.

James looked at Hito and nodded, " thank you Hito-San, this the first time I have traveled soo far from home can't help but feel home sick. "

" do not worry my friend time will heal every thing, for now lets drown our swarrow in Premium rice sake. " said Hito holding a jar full of sake.

seeing the sake Jar in Hito's hand blackline's were visible on James forehead. soon he heard Trisha shout " sake who wants to compete with me. last one standing is the king. "

" fuck!" cursed James and shouted " Ava grab her, knock her unconsious hurry ! " Then James rushed toward's Trisha to help Ava subdue Trisha and Instructed Hito " put that thing away better yet throw it out. "

" aren't you exaggerating a bit too much my friend, if you do not want to drink just say so. " said Hito looking at red eyed Trisha sandwiched between James and Ava.

" Hito-San please hide the Sake Jar if you do not want your wagon to catch fire. " Mira tried to explain. while Leon, Janet and the rest looked at her with questioning gaze. shaking her head Mari explained, " Trisha is a alcoholic .....
