Paper Sheets Are Like Time Bombs

    The sun began to hue orange, will soon sink behind Meitnerium Hill which is not far east of Tungsten City, still included in the Copernicium Forest. Cloud waves are very beautiful wrapped in orange hue of sunlight. The wind slowly felt colder. Birds – many birds who go to prepare a place to spend the night. The sky was now decorated by a flying beast of a kind of bat.

    People – people are still a lot of people passing by on the road, do not care about the time soon will be night. Maybe there are those who already have a place to rest, there are also those who are busy looking for lodging places for outsiders.

    Veroa could see all of these things from behind his window. He had not been able to enjoy the eye-indulging natural scenery, there was still work tying him up in the room. He has written several letters containing the same thing with different destination addresses and recipients. He was writing a letter about the rotten plans of a prince from another land, Duke Arthemis who was the target of his destruction. Through that move, a single step of target destruction would be achieved immediately.

    After signing the last letter, he stretched his body. For a moment, he saw the scene from behind the window, his fatigue slowly being treated the more the sun set behind the hill.

    “Finally, the last letter is done. I just send a letter – this letter to people – related people. Approximately, the most appropriate delivery using what yes?” his hand held his chin, his eyes staring straight at the sun which was only a quarter of a half almost drowned. “Wearing pigeons is effective, but the security level is too low. Does the – pigeons also have to be escorted by the magic troops? Good too anyway. Been decided!”

    In the palace, there are many pigeons that are specifically used to send letters. In addition to not having to spend money to buy it, he also does not need the hassles of buying from animal traders.

    Sending a letter – the letter begins in paig the day after the bird – the dove is fed by its caretaker. He was not alone in making preparations, the manager took the initiative to help Veroa tie a scroll of letters to each pigeon. As the work became more and more complete, about eleven pigeons were ready to be flown. When the time came, they flew into space, flying towards four different winds, some were in the same direction.

    “Now just wait for their reaction, or at least a reply to the letter. I'm sure, those who got this secrecy revealed from the outside, the local mercenary guild will get his scolding. But, good and not, hanging them” sat in a chair facing the window, accompanied by a cup of sweet tea beside him, looking at the city view behind the window made him feel like going for a walk again.

    “After finishing that sweet tea, I was about to get some fresh air”

    The clouds were slightly tenuous, the sunlight freely shining on the land. Some shadows from the sky appear to move past – people on the streets. Under the heat, people – people as usual, regardless of the heat that makes it sweat a lot and burn the skin until more and more days, their skin gets duller. Some are deliberately carrying umbrellas, some people are concerned about the condition of the skin, but most of them are women.

    Veroa came out unbeknownst to Karina and Vina, she wanted to walk alone, but this time with the clothes she usually wore and did not cover her head. While on the road, – people bowed respectfully, – children called him excitedly, many women who tried to pinch his arms secretly or openly. But, it's actually fun to serve them occasionally.

    Until noon, the air on the streets is getting hotter, but only applies to people – people, not to Veroa. He still enjoys his leisure time on the road while looking at the merchandise, sometimes also buying goods that feel interesting. Not to forget, he also bought items for Vina and Karina, he also had time to buy some snacks for her to eat at that time.

    A young man in shabby clothes appeared to be injured in a corner, several adults standing before him. Each of them carried a grip in the form of blunt weapons and sharp weapons. The young man seemed to be having trouble living and dying.

    Veroa did not think long, he approached towards where they were. Without acting strange, he greeted them like a greeting to someone familiar.

    “Yo! You guys seem to be having fun, do not invite the” Veroa to act like people who are familiar with them, even though he does not know him at all. He walked up to them, not caring about the expressions of those who seemed to be irritated by his arrival and his attitude acting so pretentious.

    “Who are you!? Don't get acquainted with us. Mending far away, do not interfere” one of them walked forward, his face was ugly expression while staring at someone who had just come. He walked until he stood right in front of Veroa, until his breath clashed with each other.

    Staring silently, his partner did not see clearly what he was doing. To be sure, after he stood face to face with someone who came, he just stood unmoved. When Veroa slightly tilted his head, so that the – people behind him were seen, the person in front of him fell down sluggishly. Just contact it, it made his – colleagues surprised and reflexively moved forward, about to attack Veroa.

    “Abang!!” the three shouted, simultaneously advancing while staring intently at Veroa. One by one they started attacking Veroa, one of them focused on someone called ‘Abang’ and checked his condition.

    One, two, three punches had been thrown, but the fist of the two only hit empty air. The punch is now replaced with a kick, then the two combined to attack Veroa. Again, nothing about it, not even for a single hair. For a while, both of them just hit and kicked the empty air, sweat started to form a drop on each other's foreheads. The breath of both of them had begun to be irregular and from time to time increasingly heavy.

    Veroa had no intention of replying to their attacks, he had been amused by this fight. But, he felt pity for the other person, after a few seconds of looking into his eyes, he became like a fool. For the young man, he saw that he was not too badly hurt, let him get hurt and feel the pain for longer, the more one feels the pain, the stronger he is, that's what's on his mind.

    Not until five minutes passed, the two had reached the limit to move their muscles. His lungs had been working too hard, sweat had soaked their clothes. Both of them sat down lethargic with a strong and rapid pull and exhale. The two were now only able to look at Veroa who was walking towards the young man after both of them were unable to attack again. I don't know what he's going to do, they can only guess.

    With a single touch, a streak of green light shone onto the young man's body. The wounds he got slowly healed, the blood coming back into the inside of the skin. The young man had healed very well in a matter of seconds. After such treatment, he bowed respectfully and thanked Veroa, his savior.
