In the cafeteria, Paul, Nuvie, and Kila were surprised by Asino's attitude, which was so different from usual.
While eating, Kila informed about the four new students were ordering food.
This made Asino immediately leave the dining table and just walk away.
“Asino?”
"I've only just been told, but my actions always change when I see them."
“I will chase her.”
Kila got up from her seat and ran after Asino.
“The appearance of this new child makes Asino not the person we know. Paul, if I'm not mistaken. In the last period we had a combined lesson with Asino and Kila's class, right?” Nuvie wants to plan something.
“I understand what you mean, I also don't want to see Asino, who is cheerful and understanding of the three of us, become like that. We are her friends, it is natural to help Asino.” Paul knew what Nuvie meant.
Jump at the last time. The person who teaches combined lessons is Laefrot.
“Others may already know, but the teacher will tell you again…” Teacher Laefrot wanted to make his assignment clear.
"The lessons given are only limited to hunting to make you get used to it and not be afraid if you fight monsters in the forest or something else."
“Whoever gets the big catch, they are the winners. The deadline is when the sky turns orange.”
"Ready?"
"Start!"
All the students immediately ran into the forest behind the academy. All students who have formed groups compete to win the championship.
When they were far enough away, Cini asked his group containing Tia, Tasya, Sofy, Maya Vail, and Rii to gather.
“Is strategy required?” Sofy was very curious, because this was a first for her, Tia, and Tasya.
“Listen carefully, and don't surprise anyone okay?” Cini told and asked Tia, Maya, Sofy, and Tasya to be quiet.
"We're being followed—"
“Eh!?” Tasya was so shocked.
"I told you not to be surprised." Cini rebuked.
“But who follows? Do they want to target the animals we are going to target too?” Sofy was so curious, speaks in a quiet voice.
Cini gave a strategy that he didn't know what was talking about, Cini asked the women to follow and hide later.
Paul and Nuvie who were watching them from behind a tree, waited until they were completely far from the academy area.
“They are so calm, like water.” Paul couldn't wait to hurt them all.
"Paul..." Nuvie called her brother and told him that Tia and the others had returned.
Vail and his group lured the people following them into an open area. When they pretended to turn around, they were confronted by Paul and Nuvie.
"As planned, they will appear," Rii informed.
"Haha...aren't you guys wrongly thinking that you will get a good path?" Nuvie mocked them.
"Especially for the three of you," Nuvie pointed to the three men in front of her eyes.
“I feel like you guys are quite tough, fight me if you can.” Nuvie took out a sword from his hand.
"That sword is similar to the one I gave to Zein and passed on to Ledrik." Rii was a little surprised to see Nuvie appear as a sword from the void.
“….” Nuvie smiled.
“What you see is the sword left by the hero Ledrik, we took it. Not only that, what Paul is holding is also the legacy of the hero Mansa.” Nuvie informed.
“Then show your true appearance. There is no need to hide because it is useless.” Rii was so annoyed to hear Nuvie's words.
“It's so interesting, knowing we're undercover is such a great thing.” Paul was so happy.
“….” Not long after, Kila and Asino came from behind Vail and the others.
"Can you guys get away from here?" Vail asked Tasya, Sofy, Maya, and Tia to stay away and seek protection.
Maya obeyed Vail's words and invited the others to take cover behind a tree not far from them.
“Barrier? Especially without chanting?” Tasya was so surprised by what they found.
"Who— " Tasya's words stopped, she saw a flash that often appeared in her dreams.
“Is that some kind of vision?” Sofy was so confused that she held her head feeling a little dizzy.
When Paul, Kila, and Asino brought out the weapons they had. That surprised Rii, Cini, and Vail. Not only did they steal Ledrik and Mansa's weapons, but Lumine's too.
“Can you return our family's heirlooms? And the power you have seized.” Vail held back his anger.
“Don't admit it, our master gave this to us. If you want it, then grab it.” Paul taunts and laughs at Vail.
"Then we will take it by force."
“….” Maya and the others looked at Vail, Rii, and Cini who seemed to have reached their limit of patience.
“Did I hear wrong?” Paul mocked Rii's words.
“Asino!?” Kila was shocked to see her friend fall to the ground.
“Aaah!” Asino screamed and held his head, feeling something that he felt was very painful. And saw a faint glimpse of a city being destroyed by three figures.
“Get away! Why do you keep bothering me? Why are you cursing me by showing me something I don't want to see!”
"That damn family always comes to me in my dreams..."
“I should have killed you guys.”
"I remember again, you were the one who killed the child of Ledrik's descendants." Rii was so angry.
Realizing Rii was walking closer, Kila immediately blocked him. However, there was no time to fight back. Kila was lifted and slammed into the ground so hard.
"Damn you..." Kila was bleeding from her mouth, her left leg was immediately broken.
“….” Rii kicked Asino's face quite hard. And made Asino very painful.
“Damn you, how dare—”
“Hmm…so what?” Rii grabbed Asino by the neck and lifted her.
"Is this the only power of the person, who killed and caused terror throughout the kingdom?" Rii scoffed directly.
"God damn it-"
“Your opponent is me.”
“…” Paul saw a hand penetrate his chest and take his heart.
“Perhaps I understand now… the reason we came, was nothing but to kill and take your lives.” Vail walked towards Nuvie.
“I am the person summoned to this world, the hero recognized by the demon king Badou!” Nuvie screams and challenges Vail.
“Ahaha! If you are a hero, then fight me.” Vail accepted the challenge.
Tia and the others saw Vail pointing his hand at Nuvie, and it made them very scared.
Nuvie was like someone who was being squeezed by very strong gravity, all him skin and clothes were so compressed that she shrunk.
"I will take our power." Vail pulled Nuvie's hands so roughly that they broke from their joints.
“….” Asino, who was still being strangled, saw the figure of a woman behind Maya.
Maya thought that if Asino asked her for help, she would ask Rii to let her go.
“No way, she was the one who killed your relatives two hundred years ago,” Rii told Maya.
Cini saw Paul come back to life even without a heart.
“You have awakened my true power, then—”
"Interesting. If you had this kind of power, Neii would probably be happy to make you an experiment or we could take you to Alpha.” Cini was so happy and covered Paul's mouth.
“Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to Startlight Academy? If you answer, we will heal you.” Rii makes an offer.
“….” None of them answered.
"We'll assume you didn't answer."
Vail, Cini, and Rii immediately took them to the Ruga forest.
Maya and the others were just left in the forest.
Nuvie and Paul were surprised and felt that it was dangerous to hear.
Not long after, they heard the sound of a wolf roaring.
“I heard you guys from Etina, and it was unexpected. You have come with the direct followers of the demon king."
“….” Nuvie felt danger from behind the tree.
The ground seemed to shake, giant footsteps began to be heard.
“You guys are quite bold, to have tarnished the legacy of the heroes. And now that you are before me, only death will be your salvation.”
“We'll be back, I'll leave the rest to you. Alpha…”
Vail, Cini, and Rii immediately disappeared and returned to their previous place.
After being there, Maya and the others were very afraid of Rii, Cini, and Vail.
“Quickly remove the barrier, so we can leave!” Sofy said in a frightened voice.
“….” Vail, Rii, and Cini could only remain silent.
Just when the barrier had been removed, Tasya took Maya away.
Towards the afternoon, someone knocked on the room where Lina was.
“Take them out?” Lina was very surprised by Tasya's request to expel Rii, Cini, and Vail from the academy.
“Academy head, the three of them did such an inhumane thing. Asino and Kila had been hurt, and they took Asino and Kila away.” Tia informed.
“They are monsters…”
“….” Lina took a breath and tried to calm down.
"Miss Sofy, your words could cause bad rumors." Lina rebuked.
“I understand what you mean, have you experienced something bad or worse like destroying the kingdom?” Lina wanted to be sure.
“Destroying the kingdom?” Tasya was surprised, she didn't know if there was a connection.
“Demon lord Lina, please take them out,” Tia asks the head of the academy to expel Rii, Cini, and Vail.
“If I did that, it would be the same as throwing them away. If they weren't there, the atmosphere would be like this…”
As they were talking, a magic circle appeared in the sky right at the academy.
“Academy head look.” Tia saw a huge magic circle in the sky. And asked the demon king Lina to look out the window.
“….” Everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked at the huge circle in the sky in confusion.
"What happened?" Sonita saw the circle from behind the restaurant window.
The circle makes a sound like a watch and rotates slowly and very slowly.
“My lord, everything has gone according to plan. Activation can be done whenever you want.” Said Laefrot who knelt to a crystal stone.
“Good…let everyone take a look and see what awaits them.” The demon king Badou was very happy to hear that, about the world that would soon be his for the second time.
This circle absorbs people's negative energy and gets a lot of great power. “What should I do about this…master Vail.” King Ligt didn't know what was happening. "King!" One of the soldiers came. "What is it?" “Everyone was so strange, they were holding their faces. It's like something is absorbing their life force.” Soldier informed. “Ligt, why does everyone seem to have their souls taken?” Neii came in so confused. “Aaa...!” Everyone screamed in pain, as if something was making them almost leave their bodies. “Academy head!” A teacher came and told Lina. All the students screamed hysterically, for no reason. “Something was taken from their bodies?” Lina was so surprised. “The cause is probably the circle.” "You guys-" “Vail!” Lina and the others saw Vail, Cini, and Rii experiencing something similar. "Something big, like sucking our energy," Rii informed. "I can't stand..." Cini knelt and fell. “AA!” The effect of this circle is getting bigger, ever
Meanwhile, the academy suffered a lot of damage due to their actions. Because attacking blindly."Are you okay, Hana?" Lina was so worried about the royal princess Gerna.“I'm fine, Miss Lina.”“Hana, can you wait? I want to look for your sister Maya, and your friends." Lina asked Maya to wait for her.“Sofy! Tia! Maya!” Tasya called out the names of her three friends at the ruins of the academy."Sofy—"Tasya closed her eyes when quite large debris was about to fall on her.BLAM!The sound of a blow was heard, Tasya opened her eyes and saw the head of the academy in front of her eyes destroying the stone.“Academy head, thank you.” Tasya is grateful."The others have gathered and are waiting, we return to the palace first ..." Lina informed.After everyone had gathered, Lina took the two princesses of the Gerna kingdom, Tasya, Sofy, Tia, Asino, and Kila to Gerna's palace.“Rest, in the palace guest room. There aren't enough rooms, you can share a room." Lina informed.“Thank you, acad
The situation got out of control, the demon army attacked without regard to the enemy or friend.They began to be overwhelmed by the demon army.“We will not allow you to disrupt the plans for the resurrection of the ancestors.” Said the devil who led his troops.“Go! Let your ancestors be proud of your struggle."The war without knowing the end pushed them into a corner, Alpha lost many of its colonies and only five remained, including himself.They were starting to get cornered.“This is the consequence if you defy your master again, wolf.” Said the demon leader.“…..” Several demons captured the three wolf races.“Bow Down!”“This is an insult to us!” Alpha was so angry.Alpha went on a rampage, clawing and tearing the demon army to pieces.“….” Asino saw a flash of memory, where she saw something scary at that time.“Asino?” Kila was worried about her friend."What are you doing?" Kila was confused as Asino seemed to be expecting something.“All this time, the prince was here,” Asi
All students get their share. Not only Lina, but the coachman who picked up Lina and Hana also got his share.“It's delicious.”"How about this?""What happen?" Seeing her classmates confused.“If I choose one of the new teachers, I won't be able to taste the other teachers' cooking.”"If only the teacher marries me in the future, maybe I will be happy."The women always gossiped about something unimportant, which made Lina laugh when she heard her students' conversations.“Academy head, here is the soup.” Vail handed Lina a bowl of soup.“Thank you, teacher Vail.” Lina accepted the food.“There's something I want to tell you. This is about the tournament.”"Ah... you mean the existing inter-academy tournament," Cini remembered what Lina had said five days ago.“But isn't that still eight months away? What does that have to do with the three of us.” Rii wanted to make sure.“The tournament this time is in the imperial capital, and they have such strict rules. Forbid all races other tha
William and the others became very curious about the amount given."If I may know, how many are there?" The woman sitting next to William was very curious.“A million gold coins,” Neii informed.“….” They were surprised by this.“I don't know whether I want to be grateful or not, that's clear. After a mysterious person bought all of Maya's restaurants, the kingdom's trade and finances were helped." King Ligt informed."How did it happen?" William was so curious."Our agricultural and plantation products have been ordered by him even though it is not yet harvest time," Lina informed."It's just that, how did he get the badge and paper stating that the palace protects the restaurant," Neii told him what he was confused about."He had it, but it was only displayed on the wall of the restaurant inside as decoration." King Ligt informed."But I heard that he also bought a restaurant that was almost bankrupt in the city of Riegos," Lina informed."Speaking of restaurants, how about we eat at
The following day, Tobie assessed the workers who were still in the training stage.Knock. Knock. Knock.“Come in.” Said someone from behind the door."I came on orders from Mr. Tobie, to meet you." Lara opened the door and walked in.“Please sit down, Miss Lara.”“….” Lara sat on the sofa, and she saw a masked man pour a drink into a cup and give it to her.“Please enjoy, Miss Lara.”"Thank you, prince." Lara accepted the drink.“This, it's so cold. Moreover, this tea has a citrus fruit taste." Lara enjoyed cold herbal tea for the first time."Where is the woman you were with last night?" The man was very curious."Sorry, prince, she is my sister named Reha. She's..." Lara was stopped when she saw the man asking her to stop by gesturing with his hand."Let's just get into the problem, Miss Lara."The atmosphere changed drastically for Lara. Now she felt couldn't last that long."Is it tiring working in a restaurant, Miss Lara?""...For me, serving visitors is not tiring..." Lara stopp
“….” That person didn't answer, and that made Lina and the others even more curious.Not long after, Lina remembered what the masked man said at the restaurant she and Jei visited."Is it possible-"“I'm sorry I can't leave Miss Lara any longer. Excuse me."They just watched the man walk out in silence, the situation became even more awkward. Lina was very curious about why Vail was in the Trus kingdom.CLING!The sound of the doorbell was heard.“Welcome to our shop,” The same waiter greeted him.“The woman I was with, is she gone?” The person wanted to be sure.“You're the guy wearing the mask, right? The woman you were with has just left." The servant informed.“Has the clothes she chose been paid for?” The person wanted to make sure again."The lady hasn't chosen any clothes yet." The servant said again.“Who owns this shop? Can I meet him?" The person wanted to ask something from the shop owner."The owner of this shop is the person at the checkout counter, he is my parent." The s
King Ligt laughed and informed. If Ivel could rule the world by playing with the world's currency."It seems you want to control world trade and the economy," Neii concluded.“It might sound like that because no one knows what the future holds. But, there is no need to worry that the Trus branch will purchase supplies from this kingdom.” The person told them all.“As the noble in charge of this kingdom, I am very grateful. And please cooperate, I will also ally with you. Please wait a moment, I will prepare the documentation.” William walked towards his study in the palace. To create the documents Ivel requested and create a trade alliance letter with Ivel."Are you on a date?" Neii tries to make Lara feel embarrassed."No, we just-""You could say that, we were having an impromptu date." The person interrupted Lara's words."..." Lara's mood became awkward and she felt like she was being pranked."What is it? Your face is a little flushed, Miss Lara.” King Ligt joins in teasing Lara.
