Chapter 358 Awkwardness

"What is he doing here?" Monica asked, pointing at Luis with a stunned look on her face. "What are you doing here Luis?"

She had tried looking for Ajax around the area and when she wasn't able to find him, she had decided to return to the dorm room.

"And where did you find Ajax?" She added another question looking down at Ajax who was still standing beside Luis.

"Ummm…..Luis found Ajax while he was walking down the road and he decided to bring him to me." Ella said, answering all the questions at once.

"Wait, he also knows about him?" Monica said. "Of course why wouldn't he know?"

Normally Ajax would have run to Ella by now, but she was still standing beside Luis, and judging by the way he was looking at her, he knew he was in trouble.

Silvia had quickly zoomed into the room at that time and was quite surprised to see Luis there but she was more surprised to see Ajax standing beside him.

"What is he doing here and how did you find Ajax?" The wonder warrior asked, turning her gaze to Ella.

"He found him and brought him here," Ella explained once again.

"Oh, where did he find him?" Silvia asked.

"Behind the flowers across the road leading to the stadium," Luis said.

"Oh."

"I think I should be leaving now," Luis said heading toward the door. "Don't let that wolf go missing again Ella." He said before leaving through the door and closing the door.

Both of Ella's roommates kept their gaze on him until he was gone before they slowly turned to face her.

"What were you thinking?" Monica asked.

"What?" Ella said.

"Bringing a boy into our room," Monica said.

"I thought we've already been through this, he found Ajax and brought him to me," Ella said.

"He could have handed you Ajax at the door, there was no reason to come into the room," Monica said.

"So what are you trying to say?" Ella asked.

Monica had things she wanted to say but bit her lips to stop them from coming out as she decided to say something else.

"We have to be careful not to break any rules that will get us and our academy punished," Monica said, walking to her bed. "You should find a way to prevent something like this from happening again." She added turning her gaze to Ajax.

Ella didn't say anything as she turned her gaze to Ajax who was sitting on the floor now and had his gaze on the floor.

"Why did you do that?" Ella muttered to him after squatting down beside him.

'How come you didn't see him leave Jasmine?' She asked.

'I'm sorry but you didn't tell me to keep an eye on him for you.' Jasmine said.

'Okay, I'm telling you now, please keep an eye on him and wake me up whenever he leaves my side.' Ella said.

'Okay.' Jasmine replied.

"Come here," Ella said as she grabbed Ajax to stand up. "Don't you ever do anything like that again."

"Aren't you supposed to scold him or something?" Monica asked.

"He's just a cub, Monica," Ella said, sitting on Silvia's bed.

"Yeah, a demon cub."

? "Wait, you're just going to leave us alone in this small place and go to your cool base by yourself," Tuchel said following Bryan to the living room.

"Yeah Tuchel, it will look suspicious if I bring you guys with me to work every day, it's best you stay here," Bryan said.

"Okay but what are we supposed to do while we are here, I doubt there's any open space here where I can practice my archery," Tuchel said.

"You can join Leo to watch TV," Bryan said pointing back at Leo who was sitting on the couch watching something on the television.

"I don't understand how that is entertaining or useful," Tuchel said.

"Hey, it's entertaining and at the same time useful because you can obtain a lot of information from different channels," Bryan said.

"Huh?"

"Never mind, you'll soon get it," Bryan said, turning to leave.

"Come on man, just take me, Tauriel and Jude don't have to know about it," Tuchel said with a voice of desperation.

"Tauriel doesn't have to know what?"

Tuchel quickly turned to the entrance to the hallway to see her sister standing there with a cup of water in her hand.

"Your brother wants me to take me to the base with him," Bryan said.

"Is anything wrong with that? I want to come too." Tauriel said.

"No, you guys can't come with me, it's safe for you to stay here," Bryan said.

"And do what?" Tauriel asked. "Do that?" She said pointing at the TV.

"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with doing that," Bryan said.

"Don't you have any place where we can train?" Tauriel asked.

Bryan looked at both of the elf twins for a while before letting out a deep sigh.

"Fine, follow me." He said walking into the hallway.

"Hey, how come I got a different answer when I asked that same question?" Tuchel said quickly following him.

Tauriel turned and was about to follow them but in doing that she had almost badged into Jude who was coming toward her at that time.

"Hey, where's Tuchel following Bryan to like that?" He asked, pointing backward.

"He wants to show us a place where we can train and keep ourselves busy," Tauriel said.

"Oh, he's not taking us to their military base?" Jude said.

"No, he said it's safe for us to stay here," Tauriel said.

"Oh, okay," Jude said.

"Yeah, I am going to go take a look at the place now and see if it's okay for training." She said but she was still standing there looking at him.

"Okay, I'm going to go see Leo," Jude said.

"Sure," Tauriel said before slowly moving out of the way and then doubling her steps to follow Tuchel and Bryan.

Jude turned to watch her walk away before walking into the living room.

"Is there a problem between you and the she-elf?" Leo asked as soon as he got closer to the couch.

"Wait, did you hear that?" Jude stopped to ask.

"No, not exactly but I noticed a lot of things from last night," Leo said.

"Sure you did," Jude said with a sigh as he walked to the couch and sat beside him "It's complicated, Leo."

"Well, let's make it less complicated then," Leo said, turning to him.

Tuchel was shocked by what he was seeing now, Bryan didn't have a room that would just suit their training, he had a room that would perfectly suit their training.

The place was large compared to other parts of the house and there were a few pieces of training equipment in the room but the thing that had caught the attention of the elf was the target boards for practicing his archery.

"I didn't think you would have a place like this," Tuchel said, looking around.

"I don't really like coming down here," Bryan said.

"Why?" Tuchel asked.

There was no response from the Lieutenant as he stared at the floor and slowly began to fold his hands into fists.

"Bryan," Tuchel called.

"Don't worry about it," Bryan said, raising his gaze to look at him. "Everything you'll need for your training is here."

Tuchel didn't say anything else to him as he walked to the exit and left through the door and just a few seconds after he was gone, Tauriel had walked into the room.

"I didn't expect this place to be this large," Tauriel said, looking around.

"Me neither," Tuchel said.

"And there are even target boards here." She said looking around at the target boards placed on some parts of the walls.

"Yeah," Tuchel said.

"Did he give you our bows and arrows?" Tauriel asked.

"He said everything we are going to need is here but I don't think he met our weapons," Tuchel said after looking around without getting sight of the weapons. "I have to go ask him before he leaves."

He quickly rushed towards the door and was about to open it when he was stopped by Tauriel.

"Wait," Tauriel said as she was looking into the rectangular metallic container by the side now.

"Why?" Tuchel asked.

Tauriel didn't reply as she reached into the container and brought out a wooden bow.

"Oh, I guess he was right," Tuchel said.
