Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

Guest from Far Away

Riku and Lunaris returned to the capital after their short honeymoon.

Of course it's not just the honeymoon they did in the city of Panese. They also often go to the facility to see the state of Adam and investigate various things about Relic (Cursed Arm).

There's a reason why Riku did all that. For some reason, he felt the end of this he often dealt with the Cursed Arm. Coincidentally or not, he wanted to be prepared if things started to get worse.

The world is currently unsettled because Dragonia is at war with other countries. Either that's enough, or it's all just the beginning. There are too many things that cannot be guessed.

Their first destination was the school, Flame Academy. Helen's been giving about their mission report. And considering their mission was far more dangerous than it should have been, the contribution points earned also increased.

Helen sent a message.

-getting points in bulk is fun, but I don't want to experience anything like that again anytime soon. Next time let me pick a mission.

Of course Riku felt it was normal for young witches like Helen and others. They lacked experience in battles involving lives.

Although the true purpose of the mission was to train the disciples, it was still within the limits of the disciples' lives not threatened.

What Helen and the others needed was time. If they could use the events this time as a new spirit booster to become stronger, then their future would be even better.

If not, no one knows what the future holds for them.

They split up and went to class.

Upon arriving at Class B, Riku immediately gained attention. But in contrast to before, he somehow felt that the attention he received this time was greater.

He tried to not care and sat in his place. That's when a girl greeted him.

"Um. If you may know, did you just come back from Panese City?"

Riku nodded.

The girl who asked was named Siles. He has a small body so it looks like a minor. Because she is unique, Riku easily remembers her.

"Then are all the stories true?"

"What's the story about?"

"About you guys fighting Wyvern and defeating one of the Hades Hall members."

"Ohh.."

Riku finally understood. The mission they received was indeed too overwhelming as it was completed by a B rank mage.

Riku could guess who opened his mouth about that. But this calms him down.

(It looks like they kept their promise)

Riku did not forbid Helen and the others to tell about their journey and the enemies they faced. But he strictly forbade about their encounter with the wind dragon and the end of their fight.

The problem is still too complicated. And because you don't know who the real enemy is, few people know better.

"We were indeed dealing with Wyvern and the members of Hades Hall. Well. lucky we're with Lunaris, so she can beat him."

Siles' eyes suddenly twinkled and smiled widely.

"I guessed it. Miss Lunaris is amazing. I was envious of not having the chance to carry out the mission together with him and see firsthand how he defeated the enemy."

"..."

Riku can't say a word. He finally understood his classmate's interest was not in him or Helen and the others, but in Lunaris.

--it seems he underestimated Lunaris' fame too much.

"By the way, how did Miss Lunaris defeat the enemy?"

The crowd began to surround him like ants fighting over sugar.

"Didn't the class president tell you that?"

He could guess how Lunaris did it, but he did not see the fight directly. Helen and the others would know better.

"Yes, but as her fiance, I'm sure you know better about Miss Lunaris. Outsiders like them can't be expected."

Riku could hear the voice of an upset person. Ignore.

"You seem so interested?"

Riku was a little surprised because before he went on a mission, his classmate's relationship was arguably so stiff, but now that stiffness disappeared from curiosity.

Maybe he should thank Lunaris.

"of course. We are Moon Prayer. We are devotees of Miss Lunaris. Of course we want to know all his heroic actions."

Lunaris, since when did you become a saint? Riku felt complicated because he knew very well the figure of Lunaris far from the holy word.

Perverted, maybe more appropriate.

Riku.

"Sorry, but I don't really know the details of the fight because it's in another location. Besides, we just had a reunion after not meeting for 3 years, so there's a lot of new stuff I don't know about."

"..."

Suddenly the atmosphere became mute and cold.

-- Did I say it wrong? Riku tried to give the most appropriate answer, but it seemed to have received a reaction he did not expect.

"Tch?! Basic useless. What kind of fiance are you? While Miss Lunaris was fighting, you were somewhere else? How embarrassing!!"

He quickly got scorn and curses. The crowd surrounding him instantly disappeared like an illusion.

What mistake?

At that time he had something more important (according to Riku), so he chose not to look. After all he knew very well that Lunaris could defeat the Silver-ranked members of Hades Hall. That was three years ago.

That's why, if anyone asks about how strong Lunaris is. The answer is two words.

Don't know.

The lesson hours finally began, but it was not Melisa's teacher who taught, but someone else. Riku felt something a little awkward.

Hasn't he been gone a week?

During the break, Riku had lunch with Helen and the others. Gathering like this was already starting to become a habit. This was a sign that Riku had already been accepted among them.

Suddenly Helen opened the conversation with something that made Riku surprised.

"Riku, have you heard of the attack on the city of Horuse?"

"What do you mean?"

Riku doesn't really care about anything that isn't his business. Not that he didn't hear or read the news, but when he was with Lunaris, he would forget everything but her lover.

"You remember that we were left to study by Ms. Melisa ourselves." Connect Guy. "It turns out he hasn't come back because of the problem of attacking the city of Horuse by some mysterious person."

"so. I remember it was a mining town. Is there any clue who made the attack?"

"That's still unclear. The culprits were estimated to be less than 20 people, but they were all made up of high ranking magicians. The perpetrators also took the townspeople hostage so they were hard to handle."

"That's quite a problem."

Attacks are not something that rarely happens. Knights were usually deployed to fight off the attackers. Just waiting for the time the attack will be stopped.

(But this is too long)

In order to ensure that the situation was safe, the empire did not hesitate to send out large numbers of Knights depending on the situation.

Melisa's own teacher seems to be a high-ranking Knight. It means he has quite a strong power.

(Is the enemy too strong?)

Riku shook his head refuting that thought. There are many factors why attacks are difficult to stop. The most reasonable thing right now is that the assault is already carefully planned and forecasting all scenarios.

Even the response from the empire.

"Just calm. Although it will take some time, but I'm sure Knight will be able to save the citizens of Horuse."

"..."

Riku just kept quiet.

- Hours after school, Riku and Helen go around the Flame Academy to find a club that matches Riku.

Riku knows that in school there are many clubs that can be followed depending on the intentions and talents of the students. No one was forced to join and Riku himself felt that following the club was not important, but Helen told him that following the club would earn extra points, so there was no harm in following the club.

But still Riku had no intention of joining. He went around appreciating Helen's sincere intentions. There's no harm in doing it anyway.

Legend Hunter, Magic Research, Adventure Club, History Seeker Club and many other clubs both attended, but nothing interested Riku in joining.

Then on the last club visit, Magic and Science Research, Riku was a little surprised to see the club building is so big when compared to the previous club club.

"This club definitely has a lot of members. I'm surprised there are many who have intentions towards this."

"That's wrong. Quite the opposite, the members of the magic and technology research club were very few. It's just that because their position is a little special in the school, then the building is bigger and spacious than the others. Then there's a lot of dangerous research, so this is also for safety."

Riku only realized that the building was also in a place quite far from the crowd. There was some protective magic surrounding the building, but it seemed that the purpose was not to protect from outside attacks, but from within.

"Hmm. that seems pretty interesting."

Riku then pressed the bell in front of the door. Shortly after, they received a response. .

[Who?]

"I'm Riku. And she's Helen. We want to see the state of the club. Can I?"

[...No. gabe. We do not currently accept new guests or members. I'm sorry to sound rude, but can you leave immediately? We are very busy at the moment.]

"Alright, sorry to interrupt."

Without many words, Riku turned around and left. Helen followed.

"Eitherway. Too soon to conclude like that. But thank you for accompanying. If I had any intention of joining the club, I would have done so immediately."

Helen sighs. He understood that Riku did not care as much about contribution points as the other disciples. It may be because of his position as the son of the Kagami family, but Helen's instincts say there is another reason than that.

He didn't want to be so involved in the affairs of the influential families in the empire, unfortunately it was a little difficult.

-Three days later, the Flame Academy was so noisy in the morning. Riku did not understand and asked Lunaris. As a member of the OSIS, he must have known if there were any events at the school.

"Today we have an important guest. So the school prepares for the welcome."

"so. Does it have to be this big?"

"Not really, but you'll soon know why it's fufu.."

Lunaris gave a small laugh as if she wanted to give a surprise to Riku.

Riku himself knew a lot of famous and important people, so he was not so surprised who would come. It's just that he didn't want to get into trouble from that guest.

The hours of the lesson finally started as usual. Before starting the lesson, the teacher suddenly told them that today they got a new student.

This is really surprising. Their class recently got a transfer student, and now they're coming again. I can guess that all this has to do with Riku. Although it is still early to conclude.

"Miss Silvye, please come in!!"

A beautiful girl entered the room. The white silver hair that was so pure holy decomposed so gently. His eyes were golden yellow emitting light. Little lips reddish like a rose in bloom.

He gave off an aura that was so meek and soothing. It was like seeing a goddess descending from heaven.

But of all that, the most striking of the girl's figure was the longer and pointed ears of an ordinary human. A characteristic that only the elf race possessed.

"You can introduce yourself."

"My name is Silvye Forestia Barlan. For some reason I will be here from today. I hope we can get along. Greetings to know everything."

No one answered. Everyone shut up. No one thought that besides being beautiful like a goddess, she had a voice like a fairy.

They feel lucky because a figure like Sylvye is in their class.

"You can sit on an empty bench there. "

Silvyie nodded and headed to her place.

"I'm sure there's a lot you want to ask about Miss Silvyie, I remind you, she's an important guest, so don't push too much. Helen, I'm assigning you to introduce our school to her."

But that was when Silvyie raised her hand.

"Sorry, but I want Riku to deliver me. We were childhood friends."

"so. If that's what you want, then it doesn't matter. Riku, you can do it, right?"

Riku didn't reply. Instead he was so busy writing something on a piece of paper.

A paper containing his will if he dies soon enough.

"My husband, long time no see."

Silvyie's smile to some was the smile of a holy angel, but to Riku it was the smile of a death angel.

----

---

Hours of rest, the disciples surrounded Silvyie like ants attracted by sugar, unfortunately, Silvyie was sweeter than sugar.

He was so friendly and easy to talk to. So quickly he was so popular in class. What made the class students so happy was that Silvyie was so easy to remember their names.

For insignificant characters like them, they would be happily remembered by an angel like Silvyie.

There is only one person who makes a reaction different from the others.

(I have to get out of here before it's too late)

Riku tried to find an opportunity to leave immediately. But he had already been told to accompany Silvyie during the break. If he left for no apparent reason, he would be hated.

It was at that moment that he saw Helen who was looking at a small note.

(It's an opportunity)

Riku got up and headed to Helen's place.

"Chairman, can you replace me with Silvye?"

"That's no problem. But why don't you do it yourself?"

"I have a stomachache, so I have to go to the bathroom. Thank you for replacing me."

Riku made an expression of pain and just left without giving a reason.

Helen couldn't do much and could only see and think 'what is this man doing?'.

In the end Helen who drove Silvye around the school like when she drove Riku.

"Is Riku happy at school?"

"It looks so."

As a childhood friend, Silvyie asked about Riku is not unusual for Helen.

"Sorry if it's rude, but does Miss Silvyie have to attend Flame Academy just for Riku's sake?"

"Does that seem obvious? Well, that's natural."

Silvyie smiled, but it was a mysterious smile that had many meanings.

"No, that's not all. I mean, why should it be Class B?"

"Oh. that."

An important person like Silvyie must have great talent and magic capacity. It was not wrong if Silvyie would have an S rank or higher in the human rank. Moreover, elves were famous for their contracts with spirits.

Given all that, being in class B feels a little awkward. When it comes to Riku, he doesn't have to be in B class either, he can still be in S class because Lunaris is there.

That's when Helen realized.

(Could it be because they are love rivals? If so, that explains everything)

Knowing the figure of Riku who loves Lunaris so much will make it difficult for people to think like that, but they are talking about the Kagami family here. A family that is famous because the head of the family has many wives.

It's not strange that his son followed in his father's footsteps.

"You're wrong to think I have great power. In terms of magic, my abilities are not much different from yours. That's why I'm in class B. One class with Riku was just a pleasant coincidence."

"..."

Feeling that there was something she didn't deserve to hear, Helen stopped asking. He knew there were things he shouldn't have known.

Then, the break hour is over. Helen and Silvyie return to class, but Riku never returns.

- hours home from school, Silvyie is picked up by Lunaris, Saria and Aura. Given that Silvyie and Riku were childhood friends, it was not strange that they knew each other.

In reality, the Kagami family and the Silvyie family were quite close. They often visit each other.

This is normal for the Kagami family, but for the general public, such a thing is a special treatment.

Elves were so covered with other races. Their country is in the middle of the largest forest in the world, Gedbang forest. The forest was not only wider than the Rukia forest, but there were also protectors from the elves that made people enter the forest lost.

The elves were known to be a neutral race. They did not join a party or participate in a war.

But still the ability of the elves who easily made contracts with the spirits made the other races envious. Even including humans.

Silvyie's visit was arguably some sort of sign that the elves were starting to open up, but in reality she was going to the empire to protect herself from threats.

It was notified to Lunaris after she returned from the city of Panese and Lunaris was assigned as a bodyguard, but Lunaris refused and applied for Riku as a bodyguard in view of their relationship.

"So you haven't told him?"

"..."

Silvyie nodded slowly.

"Geez, what did that stupid brother do? A childhood friend came, instead of being happy, he just went somewhere out of nowhere."

"I'd love to hit him to teach a lesson."

Aura and Saria looked so angry. In the Kagami family always taught to treat women well. What Riku did to Silvyie violated that teaching.

"I must have had a reason. Don't be so hard on her."

"Jeezz...  You're too soft on her. He used to be so submissive, but now he often refutes. I had to educate him again."

"Sister Lunaris, I'll help you."

"Don't forget me!"

Lunaris and the twins are planning something bad without Riku knowing.

"Keeping that aside, are you going to stay at dad's or ours?"

Our house in question is the house that Riku and Lunaris live in. Considering Silvyie is taking refuge, Kagami's main family home is the best option.

But if you stay at Riku's house, Lunaris and Riku will easily protect Silvyie, so both options are nothing bad.

"I want to stay with you guys, but is it not a hassle?"

"No problem. There are a lot of empty rooms. Riku wouldn't mind."

"Then, please cooperate with him."

Lunaris smiles. But it was not just a happy smile, but a smile that planned something sneaky.
