"I am Rejin's father… Sato," he said, speaking frankly.
Enrio replied, astonished: "What!"
Sato: "We will go to the cabin, and you will understand everything."
They walked in silence to the cabin… between the wheat and corn fields.
They reached the cabin, located at the far south of the large farm, close to the cornfield.
They sat on chairs around a medium-sized table.
Their mental states:
Chinji was shocked.
Sato was thinking about how to explain everything to them.
Enrio thought to himself: How is he Rejin's father, and why does he want us? I'll
understand everything in a few minutes.
Sato began speaking:
"I am Sato, the father of the Fire Leader Rejin.
I was a former leader in this kingdom, and as you know:
Each kingdom has cities
Each city has a leader.
Each leader has his special place in the city where people from all over his city come to report crimes, along with his assistants."
Enrio: "And I am Enrio…"
He told Sato everything that had happened in his life.
Sato analyzed all of Enrio's past, but Enrio showed no reaction; he just said:
"Okay. And you, Chinji, what's your past?"
Chinji: "I was a small child living a simple life, but at the age of four and a half… I was playing with scissors and accidentally killed my mother."
Sato: "And what happened after that?"
Chinji: "My father abandoned me in the Peace Orphanage…
…but something happened that I haven't told even Enrio."
Sato: "And what is that?"
Chinji: "I once dreamed that I would meet a wolf in a very dark place… and the wolf was white.
It told me:
'Do not be sad about what happened to you, and do not be sad that you are not smart. I know you wonder why you are not smart, but I want you not to think about this because it is not in your control. I also want you to find a friend who complements your traits and compensates for what you missed.'"
Enrio thought to himself: That's a convincing reason. At first, it didn't make sense toHe befriends him, but now everything is clear.
Sato: "That wolf is your Reza."
Chinji: "Whaaaat!"
Sato: "You are lucky, this is rare."
Someone interrupted, saying it seems they are open to each other.
It was the head of the orphanage.
Sato: "Yes, you're right."
The orphanage head said to Enrio: "I know everything about you, and I planned all this. I knew even before you told me."
Enrio thought to himself, astonished: He's smarter than I expected!
Sato told them: "Go finish your work. The orphanage head and I will talk for a while."
Enrio: "Since the cornfield is nearby, we will grill some corn for all of us."
Sato: "Okay."
Chinji and Enrio went to continue their work.
Sato: "You should give yourself a nickname… it will be better than being called 'Orphanage Head.'"
Orphanage Head: "Okay, but not now."
Orphanage Head: "What will you do with these two kids?"
Sato: "I will make them stronger… to prepare… because the Lord will do something to all the soldiers of this kingdom."
Orphanage Head: "And what is that something?"
Sato: "......."
Orphanage Head: "Truly amazing… this Lord is smart. This will make the kingdom stronger."
Sato: "Correct."
Orphanage Head: "Okay… goodbye."
From the other side, Enrio and Chinji were at the cornfield in the western area.
Enrio: "We will bring four ears of corn for us."
Chinji: "I'll get them… you go light the grill."
Enrio: "Let's go."
They brought the grilled corn.
Enrio: "I will bring Sato and the orphanage head so we can eat."
Chinji: "No, they will come to us… Sato knows our location."
Sato arrived:
Sato: "Amazing! How did you learn to grill corn?"
Chinji: "We worked on many projects to get money… but where is the orphanage head?"
Sato: "He left… he has many tasks."
Enrio: "How did he leave and we didn't see him?"
Sato: "We are in the west of the farm, and he went east."
Enrio: "Okay… we'll split his share of the corn between us."
Sato: "After we eat, I will tell you how the training system will work."
Chinji: "Okay… but will we eat here in the middle of the farm?"
Sato: "No, it's fine here."
Chinji: "Alright."
They ate while Enrio and Sato talked.
Enrio: "Why do you only grow corn and wheat?"
Sato:
"The corn is for my personal project, a small one."
"The wheat covers most of the farm because I gave it to the Bread Company; I signed a contract with them."
Sato's phone rang. He looked at who was calling.
Sato: "Go now to the animal farm, I will follow behind you."
Chinji: "Okay."
Chinji and Enrio went, and Sato answered the call.
Sato: "Meet me at the southwest side of the corn, I will stand where you can see me."
The three who had fought Enrio and Chinji before jumped in.
Sato: "Here is the money we agreed on."
Their leader replied: "Only 100? We want more. These kids caused us serious harm."
Sato: "The fight went by in a flash, it didn't take you ten minutes. We didn't agree on this."
The same boy: "And we didn't agree we would get hurt."
Sato: "Okay, here's twenty more."
The same boy: "Okay… let's go, guys."
They went to the far north of the farm, near the animal farm.
Sato: "Here you are. Why are you silent with each other?"
Enrio: "No, we just finished eating. We usually don't talk while eating."
Sato: "Okay, now I will explain the training system… but do you have any questions before we start?"
Enrio: "No. And you, Chinji?"
Chinji: "No, me neither… okay, please start explaining."
Sato: "First, I'll start explaining the Reza. I won't explain the whole Reza system, but I'll explain the first thing: how to activate Reza.
First, you must know your true personality.
Second, have determination to activate your Reza.
Third, it will appear when you need it, desperately.
Fourth, once you possess it — according to the founder — you must accept whatever Reza you get because you have no choice. There are strong Reza, and there are Reza that aren't weak but have abilities hard to exploit."
Second, the training system:
The training will be physical, mental, and body conditioning.
After finishing, Sato asked: "Do you have any questions?"
Enrio: "No."
Chinji shook his head: "No, me neither."
Sato: "It's night now. Start the first training tomorrow morning. Sleep early."
Two hours later, at 8:00 PM:
Enrio went to Sato's cabin and knocked. Sato opened the door.
Sato: "Why are you here now? You should sleep early, as I told you."
Enrio: "I want to tell you something very important about me, and it is about: …"
