Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

29. Sudden Kiss. Again..

**Destiny.

He doesn't believe in that.

He even considered that destiny was just an expression of someone who had given up on something called fate, no, perhaps more correctly called 'result'.

People say poor, rich, powerful, victorious, defeated, alive, dead because it was predestined by God.

Is it really like that?

Poor people can become rich by working hard, rich people become poor by having to pay debts, people in power because they have power or noble descent, win because they are strong, lose because they are weak, to live by being born, to die by disease or indeed it is time to die.

That's why he only believes in cause and effect. All of this he believes in to this day.

But one day, he meets a girl who makes him believe that fate does exist in this world, almost.

This is the reason why he is currently in school even though he does not need it.

Even though he knew the girl had forgotten about him or did not even recognize him, it was not a problem.

This proves that destiny never existed in this world.

>>>

5 More hours have passed since the exercise on the shore of Lake Limph began.

They started at 10:35 p.m., and now it's over 4 p.m.

The sun had already reduced its heat and a gentle breeze was blowing where Otome was standing at the moment.

He watched his students through Insectmera, but he did not do it anymore. Of course since almost all of his disciples had already arrived nearby.

They were all full of dust and scratches. Their breath was puffing and they could no longer stand up.

And Otome could hear the hungry stomach sound from them.

"...Hm..."

He smiled because he was happy because the training was over, then he turned to look towards the edge of the lake.

There are 6 Rellfish that are seen trying to escape from the net made of mana.

48 Rellfish were captured. That was proof of the strength of a Paladin, but given the size of the Rellfish that was already quite large, which is two meters more, Otome decided to cook only 6 tails.

For 30 people, 6 fish should be enough.

"........"

Otome nodded to signal to her subordinates (people who work at Kuryuu Academy) to immediately cut the fish and cook it. They were all magicians, so Otome could rely on his subordinates to cut out the man-eating fish.

While waiting, Otome approached his group of fallen students. It was natural considering the distance they traveled 100km, especially coupled with no lunch rations for them. Otome is scary.

But nothing, in exchange for and a gift from his student's efforts, he is now preparing a barbeque party, even though it is technically Kuro who prepared it.

"Good, all of you have done your best, even though your time record is still sad, Fufu .. And from now onwards, we will do this kind of training 3 times a week until the Tribal is held in 2.5 months, so prepare your mentality."

"................."

Nobody heard Otome's rant, they didn't even care.

All they cared about right now was to rest as much as possible in order to quickly recover.

"And for the 11 men who broke the rules, they would get an extra distance in the next exercise."

"Dam." "Are you kidding me?" "Basic demon!" "Well, how else." "That's your own thing, right?!" And many more reactions are shown when hearing Otome's words.

But they understand that because they break the rules, they will definitely get punished.

Another proof of cause-and-effect law.

After saying that, Otome went and sat down under the tree. There's nothing he can do right now.

Everyone has worked hard

After waiting for 30 minutes, a delicious aroma smelled and spread in the air. The aroma comes from the meat of fish that has been cooked and seasoned.

Realizing the good aroma, the stomachs of all the students of class 1-2 rang and instinctively they knew that there was good food near them.

One by one rose up and raided the meat of fish pierced by long iron, and among the meat there were vegetables added as a counterweight.

Otome and her subordinates also ate the fish happily.

Laila, Alva and Alvi sat together while enjoying the fish on the grass. Serriv and Dellia were in a separate group not far from the three of them.

Despite the smell of sweat, they were currently indifferent and continued to eat. But somehow Laila felt like someone was missing or not.

He only realized it after looking around and did not find him. Who else if not Kuro.

His girlfriend and his partner.

"...Where's Kuro? Did you two see it?"

"Eh?"

"Eth..... ?"

Alva and Alvi stared at each other and showed faces puzzled by Laila's question.

Laila can tell that they don't know Kuro's whereabouts. No. gabe. Laila should have realized they didn't know because she had been with the two of them.

".. I'll ask Mrs Otome first. He must know where he is."

Laila stood up and intended to go towards the direction Otome was standing in.

"We're coming too!"

"No need. You guys eat first, I'll bring Kuro here after finding him."

"Eh?"

"I'll go first."

After saying that, Laila went and asked Otome.

"".....................""

Meanwhile, Alva and Alvi glanced at each other as they felt suspicious of Laila.

How the hell did they know? Perhaps that is what is called the seventh sense or instinct of a woman.

After learning of Kuro's whereabouts, Laila stepped her feet towards a fairly large tree.

And behind that tree he found Kuro sleeping as a child. He also looked at the sword that was leaning near Kuro.

Laila heard a small voice coming from the two bells on Kuro's sword as if welcoming her arrival.

".............."

Laila gave a small smile as she saw Kuro falling asleep. Body's full of wounds, and clothes are torn here.

This was the second time seeing Kuro like this, so he felt deja vu.

Kuro's condition makes Laila dare not wake him, but he does not want when everyone is having fun, Kuro actually fell asleep alone.

I don't know why Laila felt Kuro was doing this on purpose.

Or Kuro felt bad for beating all his friends to pieces.

Strong and at the same time so sad.

Laila still doesn't understand what that means.

Laila lowered her head near Kuro and wiggled her shoulders hard enough. It's happening again. Kuro is still asleep.

(Do I have to kiss her to get her up?)

"uh?"

Why could he think like that?

Is it because of the impact of the incident a week ago?

Laila's face immediately flushed red and smoke billowed from her head.

He then shook his head for the thought to dissipate and that was when he saw Kuro had already opened his eyes.

Kuro stared at Laila with a gentle look.

"Huhh... You finally woke up ju- ?"

Laila was astonished when Kuro suddenly gave a paper with a magic circle pattern.

"Is this the ticket that Bu Otome is referring to?"

"Yup, I got what I promised, didn't I?"

"........"

Laila's face turned red and slightly nodded.

For the sake of a piece of paper, Kuro did all this.

"W-You shouldn't have done this. Look at your body full of wounds. If you want to have dinner with me... Y-you can take me whenever you want, and there's no need for a fancy restaurant."

Laila looked embarrassed. His face was red and looked very sweet.

Seeing that, Kuro gave a small and gentle smile.

He was happy when he heard that Laila wanted to be invited to dinner at any time.

"Yes, you may be right, but a promise is a promise. It has been my principle to always keep my promise even though sometimes I have to hurt others."

"......."

And because he had promised to train together, then he did not hesitate to train with Alva and Alvi even though it hurt Laila?

"One more thing..."

"?"

"Close!!"

"....?"

Laila unhesitatingly brought her face closer even though she did not understand too much. Is Kuro going to give Laila something again?

Yep. Kuro gave a gift.

A 5-second kiss before their lips part.

"...Now I really woke up. Thank you." Thank you."

"....."

Kuro got up while carrying his sword towards the crowd. She then unhesitatingly joined the party.

Meanwhile, Laila was still speechless with a flushed face. She hasn't even moved since Kuro kissed her in the same way twice, or was she too careless?

It was then that he heard the sound of a small object falling on the grass right behind him.

Laila broke out in a cold sweat and got a bad premonition. She doesn't even care about her second kiss with Kuro anymore.

"Chelle..."

"Catel....."

He knew the voice of the person calling out to him from behind. The two people had long purple hair and had the same face.

Slowly, Laila turned her head towards the back and she found Alva and Alvi with sinister faces.

Coupled with a magic arm appearing on one of their hands. Magic arm Alvi in the form of a blue bow named Alvairz and magic arm Alva in the form of a blue spear bernana Alviarz.

"Hey Laila, we've been very curious. How many times have you kissed?"

"It's not the first time, is it?"

"....Eee..too."

"And it seems that you don't mind or don't try to resist when Kuro kisses?"

"Can you explain it to us? Frankly, we want to know about your relationship in the past?"

Relationships in the past?

Laila did not understand, but she felt the killing from the two of them.

".....Eeerrrrrr .. here's the story.."

At the same time, a red magic circle appeared between the three of them and an explosion occurred.

Boommmm.

It was a not-so-great explosion and only caused a thick black smoke.

Alva and Alvi reflexively covered their eyes.

After a few seconds, the smoke disappeared and Laila was out of place.

"That's what..."

"Khhhhhh..."

They both look irritated and angry when they find out that Laila ran away.

Alva and Alvi look around and find Laila running away from them.

"Laila, do you think you can run away from us..."

"Fufu..."

They showed a cold smile capable of freezing souls.

At the same time their feet glowed. It was a sign they would use Leap's magic art. But they're both faster than Ash or Ishi.

They both jumped up and ran after Laila. It only takes a few seconds.

"Eh? Eeeekkkk."

Laila looked back and saw Alva and Alvi approaching at high speed from behind.

It made Laila reflexively use Burning Dash's magic art, but Laila was still overtaken.

Realizing Alva and Alvi's speed was faster, Laila broke out in a cold sweat. It's a worse situation than he expected.

Although Laila was S rank and they were both C rank, yet their difference in speed was simply too great. Perhaps this is what is referred to as every witch is so unique. Although in talent and potential Laila wildly can, but that does not mean she is an expert in speed.

Laila is arguably more in strength and also in number because Scarflare is so unique.

"Hey.. Laila, why don't you just give up, you're free to try to get away from us. Fu fuu.."

"I don't have anything to explain about kisses or the past ..maybe.."

"Yeah.!! Allow us to guess, you and Kuro have known each other for a long time. Uggh... Alci!!"

Their distance was getting thin.It only took a few seconds longer until Lalila was overtaken.The problem is that at this time they ran into the crowd partying.

"Find with my arrow, Laila, Ice Arrow"

Alvi pulled her blue bow. The blue light appeared in the shape of an arrow directed right towards Laila.

Alvi released an arrow and directly aimed right at Laila at high speed.

Laila who noticed Alvi's attack immediately prepared to move to dodge, but the arrows turned into hundreds of arrows raining down on Laila.

"!"

Laila quickly jumped up to dodge the ice arrows. He succeeded and was not hurt. The problem is that the arrows do not hit the target and go to the crowd.

"Everybody run.!!"

And worse, Alvi attack hit all food until it becomes frozen food.

"If I were you, I'd go straight away and not survive!"

That said it was Kuro who was currently hovering above the crowd. He seems to have dodged and realized Alvi's attack before hitting them.

"Eh?"

They all did not understand Kuro's intentions, but at the same time a magic circle appeared where the arrows were stuck and enlarged.

After that a light appeared and froze the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Barbeque equipment, humans, food were all frozen into a forest of ice.

"Hmmm.. My training doesn't seem to be useless."

"Yes. I know that, but it doesn't seem like the time to celebrate."

"I agree, Brother Alva."

They finally glanced back at the blond girl who was standing dumbstruck. It's surprising that they don't look at all guilty of doing that to their friends.

Laila seemed to be amazed by Alvi's magic art.

But he has no time to be amazed, he realizes Alva and Alvi have not given up on catching him.

"....Uhh... What are you guys doing?"

Kuro landed and asked Alvi and Alva.

"Er.. We are training together. Righten Alvi."

"Yes, we just want to know the results of our training with you."

Of course they lied so that Kuro wouldn't be angry with them. They don't want to be hated by Kuro for trying to bring in the people he loves.

But can they lie to Kuro?

"Oh.m so, heart, I know you two have improved, but you won't win if you don't use your full strength."

"Un.."

"Geh.!"

Kuro says it's as if Alva and Alvi won't win against Laila, but Kuro also says they can win if they use full strength. What does it mean to use full force?

"Hey Fool, why do you believe them? Can't you see that we're not practicing?"

"Ummm.... right?"

Kuro turned towards the two of them with a suspicious look.

Alva and Alvi shook their heads.

"He's just embarrassed. That'sthat's all. Hehe..

"Un.."

"All right, you're so excited today."

Alva and Alvi turned towards Laila. And that was when a demonic smile appeared on the lips of the two of them.

"Hey...why don't you believe what your own boyfriend says?"

"....................."

Kuro was silent for a moment. He was a little confused and worried. Believe in Alvi and Alva, or trust Laila, her boyfriend.

Krakk..

At that moment, the four of them heard the sound of ice breaking and falling.

"Geez, this is very refreshing, but it can also make you sick."

Jinn broke the ice that shut herself in by shaking her body. Friends of other friends, teachers and staff one by one also escaped Alvi's attack.

All of them were unharmed thanks to the specially made uniforms to minimize the effects of magic, but now they must have felt a chill.

Or don't.

They did not feel the cold as it was already burning with anger towards one black-haired man named Kuro.

Wh why?

Although he did not attack them, but all this happened thanks to Kuro kissing Laila, in other words, technically it was Kuro's fault.

"..........?"

Unfortunately, Kuro doesn't know what they have in mind.

But he knew that he was in trouble because all the male friends in his class had already activated their magic arm and magic beast millik. It seems that whatever the reason, they do not care as long as they can repay Kuro's treatment of them.

Kuro felt regret. Why would he be so kind as to prepare a barbeque for a possible person who would take revenge on him?

Is he stupid?

"Alright, we're starting a real party."

With Knox's aba, all the men of class 1-2 began to prepare to pursue Kuro.

In their hearts they were still angry when they were beaten and lost to Kuro who was not a magician. Their self-esteem was hurt mixed with anger.

"Geek... !"

Kuro was sweating coldly. Even though he was strong, he would have a hard time defeating 12 people at once. It quickly pulled out its white sword and aimed right at the 12 people who were eyeing it.

Criinbergs.

The sound of bells was heard at once a warning sign.

As Kuro had expected, the 1-2 class men were not stupid enough to attack Kuro who was already preparing to wield a sword. They knew very well the power of Kuro who was able to defeat them all with just his bare hands.

Then what will Kuro show you now.

"Wgm.."

Kuro smiled then warmed the sword up. .

"Kuro... Don't tell me you'll show me your new technique?"

"......I guess that's how it is.."

Kuro smiled as he answered Alvi's question. At the same time, it makes all men increase alertness.

New technique? Techniques that have not been shown to Alvi and Alva.

How frightening was that technique?

"Secret blade art 1,002 Steps"

Kuro quickly swung his sword down on the ground and made an explosion.

Boom.

The smoke billowed and spread to cover everyone's sight for several tens of seconds.

After a while, the smoke disappeared and so did Kuro coupled with Laila.

"................Uh?"

"Where are Kuro and Laila?"

"Haaa.. They're running!!"

Alva and Alvi looked confused as two people had disappeared from the sight of both of them and the entire 1-2th graders.

Only Otome smiled and looked up.

At an altitude of 2 km, Kuro floated in the air with Laila who was in his front sling.

Not to forget the white sword he had sheathed also he held in his left hand.

"Laila, you can open your eyes!"

"...wowhmm ?"

Laila slowly opened her eyes and felt a strong gust of wind as it fell down.

At first he did not understand when told to close his eyes by Kuro, he felt his body being carried then he also felt a gust of wind, but when he realized what happened to him, he felt his body being carried away, he quickly held onto Kuro's neck to prevent it from falling.

But they fell at an altitude of 2 kilometers.

"Yeah.. "

Laila screamed in panic. She reflexively hugged Kuro even tighter.

His face flushed with embarrassment mixed with panic.

Even though he was a magician, he would get into big trouble if he fell down at a height of 2 km.

But that was when Laila felt her body lift up again.

"Eh?"

Laila looked confused. He wondered why he, no, Kuro could fly.

"Laila, look!!"

"um?"

Laila was still confused, yet she turned her head in the direction Kuro pointed at.

Laila's eyes opened wide when she saw the beautiful sunset view.

"..........."

Laila was stunned, while Kuro just smiled.

"It's beautiful....."

Laila rarely saw a sun as beautiful as this before, let alone while floating in the air. It's fun and at the same time scary.

This was something that could only be seen while with Kuro.

"Yes beautiful, but you're more beautiful Laila."

".....eh.... Are you trying to seduce me? Honestly, I was still mad when you kissed me earlier, because of you, I got in trouble.."

Despite showing a displeased face, Kuro actually smiled when he saw Laila's sweeter face when angry.

They fell down again, but Kuro quickly kicked the air stronger than the previous one and jumped higher.

Laila was surprised and a little scared. At the same time his heart was racing.

"...Then.. what if I kiss you again this time."

Kuro smiled gently while teasing Laila. At the same time Kuro's gaze was so sharp and calm.

"Huhh.?"

"This time I told you not to be surprised."

"...Hey, who wants to ?!"

Kuro immediately shut Laila's mouth with a kiss.

Laila initially thrashed and refused, but eventually she accepted and enjoyed the sensation while kissing Kuro.

Laila had no idea how long they had been kissing, but it was the longest kiss they had ever had before their lips parted.

Laila who felt like a fool for always being careless in front of Kuro could not be angry. It became a strange thing for him himself.

If you remember first, he will always burn the person who touched him without permission. But why doesn't he feel for Kuro?

Moreover, he felt something unusual in his heart when it came to Kuro.

Is this what we call love?

Honey, Laila still doesn't know the answer.

As they finished kissing, the sun also sank and the sky changed for the night.

"I think it's time for us to go back..."

"........."

Laila fell silent. His face was flushed red, but he nodded softly as a sign of agreeing with Kuro.

Kuro kicked the air sideways into the city through the high walls.

All of the guards' eyes opened wide when they saw Kuro and Laila being able to pass through the top of the wall without using magic. But they both ignored the shocked guards.

Their destination was the Kuryuu Academy school.

And that was the end of the grueling exercise of the day.

>>>

In the dormitory bathroom, Laila takes a bath with refreshing warm water. Tiredness, aches, and sweat had almost disappeared from his body.

He closed his eyes as he pointed his head at the sprinkler that spouted water onto his face.

At the same time, he recalled the time he parted with Kuro after arriving at the dormitory.

'*All right, I'll go first.'

'Eh, aren't you resting in the dorm room?'

'Ha ha.. I'd sleep in my room if you were my wife, but we're only girlfriends, you know I could've attacked you while you were asleep right?'

'Huh*...'

Laila smiled bitterly and saw Kuro go somewhere.

He doesn't know where Kuro slept for a week, but he now knows why Kuro never slept in the same room as Laila.

Although Kuro has no qualms about kissing Laila, but it seems that is the limit that Kuro makes because he is only a girlfriend. It was a sign that Kuro also respected Laila as a girl.

But Kuro's words also made Laila a little afraid.

'I could've attacked you', would Kuro have forced Laila to do more than kiss?

"Mom..ahh..."

The thought of it made Laila unable to control herself. Even the warm water was now becoming steam as Laila involuntarily raised her temperature.

(If she dares to do anything weird, I will without a doubt stab her with Scarflare.)

After deciding on that, Laila exited the bathroom and prepared for bed.

Although it was still too early, but his body still felt tired from running 100km. Fortunately, he had dinner by the river.

She put on her sexy pajamas, then lay down on the bed while gazing towards the neat mattress.

"Kuro, are you the 'that' guy'?"

Laila recalled the mysterious man she had met one year ago when she was in the 3rd grade of the Magic School, but she had not met the mysterious man for a long time.

But he remembered the promise he had made with the mysterious man.

It was an embarrassing promise.

Laila's face turned red and covered her face with a blanket.

"Destiny....? I don't think it's too bad to be true."

He didn't know if it was because of fatigue or something else. That night, Laila fell asleep.
