28 First Battle (1/2)

The four talked for a while before the old couple decided to rest for a while. Jeremy led them to the building owned by Raven, which was empty at the moment because their little sister is out on a journey with her husband.

The Range Family entourage is already there waiting on the main hall. As soon as the old couple arrived, everyone was stood up and listened to their instructions.

”You can go rest for a while. We will be staying here for a while it seems and you four will be training here. I got you a friendly match this afternoon. Be sure to win or else.”

The four kids were already accustomed to old woman's temperament and they knew from her words that this is a serious matter. Alyssa, the eldest of the four, knew they should do their best because even in training this instructor was not that serious as she was today.

All four of them had many matches against kids on their own city. Although they have their fair share of loss record, their winning records make it tolerable as possible. Their Grandma Jennie never asked to absolutely win and never reprimanded them if they lose, but this time her only command is to win.

=================================

Lunch was servedon Jeremy's household as always with Kathlyn as head chef. After she finished tasking the people on the kitchen, she would go out and talk to her parents.

Skye and Dylan were already playing with some of their cousins who were of the same age. Suprisingly, Arthur went to the same table Alyssa and the others were sitting. Although they already knew their cousin already returned, it seems that they were looking at a different person.

After lunch was over, Alyssa, Kevin, Khristine and Harold accompanied their Grandpa Chris and Grandma Jennie towards the back training field. Marty, Jeremy, Arthur, Skye and Dylan were already there waiting for them.

”We are fighting them, Grandma Jennie? This is not fair right? We have four members in our team and they have only three young kids”.

”Yes, I know that. But this fight is different so don't underestimate your opponent. Alyssa and Harold will be the main offensive, Khristine will support and Kevin will tank. Don't hold back and react to the situation. Alyssa do not worry about hurting them and go all out.”

”Yes, Grandma”.

On the other side, the three siblings huddle up and review their formations.
