He looked around one more time, his breath slowly coming back to normal, but something suddently changed. Thin and long smoke trails lead him into different directions.

"I think those will lead me to the Dime things"

First, he followed a light grey trail that was the closest to him

Following the first trail, Jang found himself near a pond from the middle of the path, staring at a moving pencil sharpener jumping left and right.

"IS THAT A DIME?!"

Screamed Jang out loud while pointing at the metal object.

He closed himself towards the tiny object that created a mouth of it's own as soon as it saw Jang get close to him.

Putting himself on his knees, bending his back and tilting his finger towards the Dime, Jang made a wholesome comment

"Woahh, look at you, so tiny and cute I could bite you whole"

Accidentally pitching his voice high, Jang giggled at the little creature and poke it with the tip of his fingers.

On the second poke, the pencil sharpener made itself a pair of razor sharp teeth and bit Jang's finger, making him grunt in pain and panick, but it didn't actually hurt him, he only got a tremor inside his heart for a second.

"Yeowchh, heey... oh nevermind, it doesn't really hurt"

The item gave Jang a slightly shocked look with his eyes that were two screws set in tight.

Jang let the item hang for a few seconds, then with an upset in his heart, he knew what he had to do

Reaching for his pouch, opening it with three of his fingers, he took one sphere out of it. Cracking it, saddened again, he lets the liquid being poured right onto the small sharpener, in the end, turning into glowing stardust that was slowly fading into the thin air.

"I'm sorry, little one"

Jang took a moment of silence in memory of the small pencil sharpener. He stood there watching as the stardust floats until the skies limit, slightly gasping at the beautiful view of the fireflies fading in to the childhood memory.

"Onto the next spirit"

Said Jang, heading into the footsteps of another trail, while setting himself up from the ground.

The next trail led him to the next Dime, which was directly in the street, masked as an empty soda can, rolling back and forth on it's empty body, making small sounds of tiny pieces of stone rub between the aluminium body and the ground.

When Jang approached it, it was like the soda can knew that Jang was coming after him, so it rolled faster towards his front.

"Hey, you right there, stop running!"

Exclaimed Jang, bending his back, trying to catch the can of empty soda with a few lunges of his palm, but constantly missing it.

Jang fell on his face, and angrily holding his nose tight, so blood won't come out unwillingly, he jumped and catched the soda can before it could reach a valley that led to a gas station from down town and escape. 

He angrily held it down with one of his hands and pointed at it with his other finger from his other hand

"Stop. Running!"

The soda can started squarming, it kept trying to escape, but in the end, it talked

"Please, let me go, please!"

"YOU CAN TALK?! Wait, what happened to my nose?"

Something else strange has happened. The blood from Jang's nose stopped running. He checked it out once, but no signs of any blood coming out or even a small fracture, somehow it healed itself really quickly, which shocked him for quite a bit, but he had other things to take care of.

"Of course I can talk, I'm not a moron"

Continued the soda  can with a really high pitched and angry voice, revealing one mouth and two holes for eyes that were cut-out pieces of it

"Then what are you exactly?"

Started examinating Jang

"I am a Dime sent from above"

"So you really are Dime, that's good to know, but what is this above?"

"I've already talked too much, just do whatever you want with me (looks away with a fake gentle sob in it's voice), just kill me already! (starts crying)"

Jang looked around, worried and making sure that no one was around.

He opened the pouch from his back and put the soda can inside it

"Hey, I was serious before, just do it already!"

Muffled screaming the soda cand from inside it's bag, jumping up and down, trying to escape from the pouch prison.

"You sure know something, I can't just let you go away like that"

Replied Jang, tilting his neck towards the leather pouch, whispering loudly.

"Aawh... maaan, fine!"

Groaned the soda can inside it, going with how Jang wants things to go.

"Good"

Replied Jang, which then headed his way to the next trail that was still a light grey trail just like the one before.

It was going right between two buildings that were covering the hard concrete ground from the hotness of the sun

Arriving at a restaurant called "Lele P'za, a local restaurant from where he lived, Jang found no people outisde which was weird, since it was a pretty known place for the locals. Only inside were a few dozen people talking and enjoying their food.

Near the restaurant's entrance, some fancy and fine tables with high quality plastic were being placed.

The Star student entered the restaurant with an alert inside his mind because he did not know if there was something new and dangerous Dime, or just a simple object.

"The trail led me here, where could it be... (grunts eyes, pats back of the neck with his palm)

He searched the restaurant for a few more seconds, but nothing at all. Before Jang would leave, he saw something moving with the corner of his right eye, just like targeting something outside the restaurnt. It was a tall table that was at package with the rest of the seats.

"Did it move?"

Whispered Jang to himself while slowly approaching the exit. He looked at it with a confused look, knocked on it two times just like he would knock the door of a house, but on the second knock, the table hit Jang in his shin's with it's wide body.

"YAAAAR! Damn you!"

Exclaimed Jang, trying to catch the table but missing in the last second

"Be careful where you knock, kid, I got private parts too, you know?"

The damage from the shin bone numbed itself and Jang's eyes narrowed confusedly

"You can talk too?"

"Of course I can talk, who can? Just because I am a "magic" table that doesn't mean that I can't talk"

"Well... my boss said that I should evict you guys"

Said Jang with a slight touch of heart

"Wait, I know that He sent me, but I'm not bad, I just got the short straw, I swear!"

"He's right, he's right, let him go!"

Exclaimed the soda can from inside the pouch with a muffled voice.

"Yes, just like he said!"

Jang sat down on his thoughts for a few seconds. Holding his chin with three of his fingers, he made up his mind, just like a lightbulb would switch on, on top of his head

"Tell me about "the one from above" and I'll think about letting you go"

"You mean the Celeste? No way, not in a million years, just take care of me then"

"Why is every Dime so scared of this guy from "above" and a Celeste, that's close to what I am if you think about it"

Whispered Jang to himself while narrowing his eyebrows.

While Jang was on cooldown of thoughts, the table ran away from his grasp.

"See you, loseeeer-!"

Exclaimed the table while running away, thudding the ground with it's sharp edges from it's four legs.

"Quickly, take him down! If it gets out that I talked about it he will come down earlier!"
Screamed with a muffled voice the soda inside the pouch

Jang opened the whole pouch with the extension of his reaching palm and took out one single orb along with one bite from the empty soda can

"Ouch!"

Grunted Jang still not changing his sight from the table that was running away. Making sure that it doesn't do any funny things.

"Sorry, I had to try"

Said the soda can, quickly.

Jang shook his the soda can off, of his finger and took out one orb from the pouch.

He closed the pouch back with one movement of his wrist while the soda can was still inside, trying to get out.

"I said I'm sorry, wait, wait!"

Exclaimed the soda can with it's muffled voice from the interior of the material.

Jang put his palm over his eyes, protecting them  from the sun that was playing with his sight and prepared a throw from behind.

 Turning half of his body, horizontally, backing up his right shoulder, charging up his next attack, concentrated his grunting eyes, with one turn-back of his body to his natural form and one lunge with the use of his right arm, the ball flew from his hand like a Baseball Homerun.

The Homerun hit the table right in his back, converting it from hardwood to stardust that was  floating up in the air towards the terrestrial plains.

While walking towards the next trail, Jang asked the empty soda can

"Hey, what's your name?"

But the soda can didn't want to answer, it was still mad a Jang

"You're playing hard to get, I understand... (nods while looking towards his left)"

"What? For your stature you really are weird"

"At least I got you to talk"
Said Jang while looking towards the pouch.

"Wow you're right... I'm Yuha, Yuha Bong Cha, what's yours, punk?

"(Chuckles) I'm Jang Ho and I will be the one that will evict every single Dime from this planet"

"Evict every single one? You may not be a big shot, but you sure have a nice sense of humor. The one from the above sends every single one of them here, on this planet with one single target... a Celeste"

"Woaah (imitates an excited voice with an unbothered look on his face) and what about you? You're targeting this "Celeste" too?"

"Not really, I broke the only rule that was for the Dime spirits... to be kind and he put my soul into a piece of random trash that was this... an empty soda can"

Jang stopped himself for a few seconds, not changing his look from the pouch. Narrowing his eyes, softening his mouth, biting it down once, with a worried feeling he asked another question.

"About this Celeste..-"

But the soda can stopped him from finishing his sentence with a loud scream in his voice that was stuck to a few words with the muffled echo.

"I already said too much, if something else comes from my mouth, the one from the above will desintegrate me... or worse, he will switch my soul with one of an ants (cries fakely and has a tremor in his voice and stomp me under his feet"

"I don't really understand why are they so scared of the one from above, but it seems like he got this one Dime pretty good, fearing for it's soul. Maybe I could ask him more information later, when I get back to the Shan with In-Su"

Whispered Jang to himself, continuing his path towards the next trail.

The next has lead  Jang to a block that was a few stories high. He climbed it from the outside

"I'm doing this for a good cause"

Said Jang looking in every direction making sure that no one sees him.

Climbing it by outside, balcony by balcony like a mountain climber, he saw the apartment from where the smoke was coming from. He entered by the balconly and followed the white trail, that lead him directly to the kitchen.

Looking around where the Dime should be, he searched for it since the trail didn't exactly show where it was.

"BEHIND YOU!"
Screamed the soda can from inside the pouch

Jang quickly turned his look and dropped himself on the ground. It was a long kitchen knife. He looked behind it with his eyes wide open

"Woooaow- th-that's a sharp knife"

He raised himself from the ground and took a modest distance so that he could have time to take out an orb from his pouch.

The knife prepared his attack again, but in the last second, Jang picked up a cutting board in his hand and defended himself with it.

"You are really stubborn, you know that?"

Asked Jang peeking over the cutting board.

Hearing his commentary, it was like the knife got angry, so it flew itself in every direction possible with the hope of catching Jang in the motion.

As the Dime prepared his last attack, Jang took another orb. He broke it in his hand and threw the liquid towards the knife. The knife bathed in the orb's liquid and fell down towards the ground where it didn't even impact itself that it turned into stardust right the moment it hit the ground looking like a balloon filled with glitter got popped on the ground.

Jang exhaled nervously and quickly, while sitting down for a few moments.

"Phew, what about that, Yuha?"
Asked Jang with a huff in his voice, looking down at the pouch.

"You're good, I have to give you that, you punk"

"Thanks"

Replied Jang, joyfully.

Suddently, a metal door can be heard creaking and a woman walked in with a phone to her ear

"That's what I'm telling you, he had four kids, can you believe it, four!"

The pans from the kitchen were still moving, but for the rest...

"Mom, I'll call you back, okay.... bye-"

The woman hanged up the phone in an instant, staring at the portions of her home, that were destroyed.

"What the he--.."

Screamed the woman after seeing her cutting board having a deep cut in it, plates broken, the spice capsules laying on the ground, spicing up the ground and a ruined broken TV in the living room.

"Ooooh (whispers) she's really mad, that sounded expensive. I forgot that when I dodged the knife the first time, it went directly into her brand new plasma 4k TV. I hope she doesn't hold any grunges

He walked towards the next smoke trail that was brighter than the others

"I wonder what  it is now"
Asked himself, Jang

*Police sirens started playing from the top of the car*

As Jang walked past the car, he quickly observed that the trail was coming from it and jumped on it with a loud thud of his body on the metallic body of the Dime. 

"NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL REFLEXES!"

Screamed the empty soda can

While on top of the car, Jang bumped his head into a Stop sign because of the bumpy road.

"Yuha, throw me an orb, it's going too fast, I can't take my hands off of it!
Exclaimed Jang

The leather pouch was opened and an orb jumped from it.

Jang slammed the orb on the metal placement that was over the engine. The car slowed itself down and slowly faded into stardust.

Several seconds after, the star shapes on his hands started blinking with the color white.

"Niice (raises fists that goes well in context with his feel-good vibes), finally, back to teacher In-Su"

"Make sure you don't tell anyone about me, you punk"

"Why is that?"

"I am supposed to be an enemy, if your trainer will find out about me..."

"Understood"

The light portal opened and Jang quickly ran towards it.

"Teacher!"
Screamed Jang while entering it and leaving the radio from the car behind him. It was dusty and the plastic from it was all broken

*Radio static noises*

"Why did I... why did I... why did I deseeeeerve thiiiiiiii (high pitched voice) s"

*Radio brokes down and stops*

"I'm back, teacher In-Su!"

"Good to have you back, how was it?"

"Good (nods and looks down while his face was slowly getting red) anything else that I can do?"

"Your face is all... red (looks more carefuly at Jang with a slight interest in his reaction)"

"Oh this? This is nothing, I just ran... (swallows) a lot, that's it (gives away a smirk)"

"If you say so (coughs) we'll meet again (coughs) in the next days"

"Good, I mean okay (gives away another smirk)"

In-Su opened another light portal with a thud of his staff on the ground.

Jang entered the portal and waved at In-Su, which he waved back too with a slight smirk.
