Chapter 280: Night 1
The starry night of Senegal was a magnificent view. Without pollution, accompanied by nature and the talks of the village behind them, they waited. Before night could completely fall, Kazi went around and double-checked that everyone was ready.
Eight Yumboes were at every player duo’s beckoning. In the north, Kibiwott in particular was eager to fight. His friend Remmy was by his side like a loyal brother. In the east, Jackson and Sylvia were arguing about combinations and their lack of. Apparently, Jackson’s timing whenever she sent out a spell was too slow for her liking. She thought he could be faster. Jackson yelled that he physically couldn’t. Great stuff.
As for the planners of the whole operation, Akihiko and Kenzo, they were ready at the south with their wands. From what he was able to catch from their training, wands made it simple to draw magic circles and therefore cast spells written in spellbooks. They were practicing up till the very last moment. Kazi caught a small glance of the magic circle written in their books. Super Fire Dart’s magic circle consisted of four concentric rings and a thick line across. The trick part was following the path. Without weeks of practice, it was difficult to pull off.
Kazi saw Akihiko pull it off once and shelved it into his well of knowledge. Maybe today he could test it out. Sarah and Emma were back-up in case the monsters penetrated any specific direction. He gave them a wave and a bit of advice before returning to his waiting party in the west: Couma, the Yumboes, and Pauline who held her wooden staff close to her chest. Kazi sent her a comforting smile. Pauline smiled weakly in turn. In the meantime, he checked his new skills.
