Junta & Wizarding World
#22 Towards Polski Village
“So, according to Brother, Hako is at what level?”
“Hm?”
“So I've practiced fighting with him, right? So you should have been able to estimate the magic level of Hako”
“Ugh.. I'm sorry but we're talking about what?”
Kou let out a long breath.
“I guessed Brother didn't listen to me, what was Brother thinking?”
Junta looked at Zonya who was walking a little far ahead of them before finally saying.
“I'm just worried about the lack of knowledge we have in this world”
“If that problem I am also worried, that is why I brought this topic”
“What are you talking about?”
“What's the last thing you caught from this conversation since we left town?”
“Uhm... Mold?”
“Ehhh?? That topic has passed since the day before noon, what did you think so far?”
“Many things”
Kou looked at the sun that was right above them before finally saying.
“What can I do.. I will repeat what I discussed for approximately 2 hours ago”
Kou took a breath and exhaled slowly before finally starting the conversation again.
“As you know, our Father and Mother have taught us that in the world of magic, there are levels or levels to determine the magic power of a person, the magic level that has been taught to us so far is level 6, the problem here is that Father or Mother never mentioned the number for the highest level in the magic world”
“That's understandable, this lesson we received when we were kids, maybe Dad and Mom didn't want to burden us with heavy knowledge”
“I also think like that, the problem is, if we don't know what the highest level in the magic world is, then we also can't measure the danger level of our enemy”
“Then, what are you thinking?”
“I think we should be able to measure our strength first, first our Father and Mother said that our strength is at level 4, when viewed from our magic ability now… I feel safe if I say that we are already at level 6?”
“Level 6 yes... If we do not calculate the forbidden power, then I agree with your opinion Kou”
“Alright, since Brother also agreed that we are level 6, then I will say that General Barmun almost matches our strength”
“You mean the general you defeated in that duel?”
“Of course, who else is it, after a few days of thinking about it, I can say that General Barmun's magic is at the level of 5.5”
“Why use a comma?”
“Because she is so strong Brother, her magic is above level 5, but below us is level 6”
“By the way, what General Barmun used against you was not magic, Hako said that it was a martial art”
“Not magic?”
“Hako says that martial arts are different from magic, if magic produces a form, then martial arts only strengthen its users by increasing speed, strength, hearing, or such a”
“So.. I think you once taught me magic like that.. If it's not wrong.. Mother called it Buff” magic
“It's more or less like that that our Father and Mother named that magic”
“Maybe in this world, martial arts are considered different from magic, but for us, I guess it's the same?”
“I'm not too dizzy with this, martial arts I think is the same as magic, but you have to remember this term because people in this world will talk about what they believe”
“If indeed General Barmun's speed and strength increase due to that martial art.Maybe I should investigate it further”.
“Do you think martial arts are dangerous?”
“I still haven't enough information to determine that.. But if the standard of martial arts strength is as strong as General Barmun.Maybe we should be careful in fighting enemies who can use that magic”.
“I've felt martial arts against Hako, so I know why you're worried”
“Then Big Brother, back to my question earlier, according to Big Brother, what level of magic belongs to Hako?”
“Hmm.. Because Hako was not too sure of the abilities he had when compared to General Barmun.. I think he's at 5.3?”
“So yes, not too sure when compared with General Barmun..”.
After saying that, Kou fell silent while staring at Zonya who was still walking a little far ahead, Kou stepped her feet in the same rhythm as Junta's footsteps, making them walk at equivalent speed.
Currently they are on their way to carry out their first request, which is to purify the water in a village called Polski, there is no forest as far as the eye can see, only a path , the meadow and some trees, in this first mission, Junta and Kou are accompanied by Zonya, a yellow-haired and red-eyed woman who assists the Junta in filling out the registration form, and, while looking at his new friend, Junta said to Kou.
“By the way, did Zonya cut her hair?”
“What is the new Brother aware of?”
“Yes.. That is, I just realized his hair became shoulder to shoulder, before if not wrong.. Almost a back?”
“I think Big Brother should pay a little attention to the appearance of others.. Especially women, Because Brother is currently discussing Zonya, according to Brother, What level is Zonya at?”
“Don't you know, Zonya is a member of Association class 5, she is the strongest in the Association, so I guess her magic is at level 4 or 5?”
After Junta said that, Kou quickened his footsteps in order to catch up to Zonya who was in front.
“Hei Zonya, can I ask you something?”
Zonya turned her head to the left to look at Kou then said.
“What do you want to know?”
“In the country where I come from, we measure magic power by level, similar to the class system in Association, is in this country also apply the same thing?”
“Level magic yes, of course, although the system is not too used as reference”
“Then what system is usually used to measure a level of danger?”
“Usually people use the Association class system to measure the level of a hazard, whether it is the level of danger of a request or the level of danger of a monster”
“Oh, so if for example there is someone saying that this monster is equivalent to class 5, then the monster is as strong as the members of Association class 5?”
“More or less like that, but since you are asking the magic level problem, then I will answer it like your question, magic level is not a ranking system applied in this country alone, but almost in all countries that are above this land”
“Oh, although the magic level is not a reference system, but the whole kingdom in this land recognizes it, pull”
“To be exact, for the level itself is still debated, some say the highest level is level 6, some say 8, 10, 12, and many more, some say, that's why this system is not always used”
“Then, what do you think? You are a member of the Class 5 Association, you must have your own opinion on this matter right?”
The junta that felt a little left behind started to accelerate its footsteps in order to be close to Kou and Zonya as well.
“I think yes, hmm, I think that magic level is actually 10”
“Oh? Do people usually agree on how many levels of magic are there?”
“Usually they agree that magic level is 6, which one do you want to know?”
“Let's hearings publically approved”
“Level 6 yes? To make this easy I will explain simply, I as a member of the 5th class Association can use level 5 magic, generally members of the 5th class Association can use level 4 -5” magic
His zone raised his right hand then showed the number 5 with his fingers, before continuing to speak, he bent his thumb towards the palm so that his hand now showed the number 4.
“For 4th class Association members, usually they can use level 3 - 4 magic. members of Class 3 Association can use level 2 - 3 magic, then class 2 down can use magic level 1-2”
“Hm... Interesting, the average Association member is in what class?”
“From what I remember, 78% of Association members were in class 2, 16% were in class 3, 5% were in class 4, and the rest were in class 5”
“That means class 5 only amounts to 1% of the total number of Association members?”
“If you said I was right then yes, you can ask Maggie later when we're back”
“Then what about the military leaders of each kingdom? What level are they at?”
“You mean the generals? They were stronger than Association members, but people did not agree if they were at level 6, because level 6 was the highest level, he said, so people usually mention that the magic of the generals is at the level of 5.5”
“What is it? Why put on a coma? Is this a math lesson?”
The junta that had been silent at the back started to make a sound.
“Then what about your opinion Zonya? Something about magic there should be 10 level”
Kou re-opened the conversation.
“Indeed it sounds like something complicated if we continue.. For now I will make 6 magic levels as my reference, why don't you tell me something interesting?”
“What do you want to hear?”
“I don't know, you know we're not from here, right? So I guess even if it's just a general story, for us it's interesting”
“Hmmm interesting story”
Zonya looked around after saying that.
“Oh, let's start from a short and simple one, you guys see that tree?”
His zone pointed to his right using his right hand.
“The tree looks far away.. But if we can see the tree from a distance so far.”
“As you think Kou, that tree is a giant tree, that tree is a very old tree, the majority think that the tree is equivalent to the forest of Sorz”
“Woah, that tree is equivalent to the oldest forest in the country? Is it harmless?”
“So far as I know, nothing bad happened to that tree, I've visited that tree and I think the tree still has strong roots”
“Hmm so, maybe if my sister and I had a chance, we want to go there”
“Then you should bring some shovels and tents”
“For what?”
“Many stories say that around the tree, there are hidden treasures, whether it is true or not, many people have tried to find the treasure, but no one managed”
“What treasure is hidden?”
“I don't know, in every story I hear, each story has its own version, some say the treasure is a legendary weapon, some say, some say that it is money, some say that it is legendary armor, too much if I mention all”
“What do you think Brother?”
Kou turned his head back so that he could see his brother.
“Why not? If we have time we can explore the tree”
“Trust me, I have received many requests to help someone in the quest for hidden treasures around the tree area, and the results are always nil, better you guys make use of your time to more useful things”
“It's okay, even though there is nothing I still want to go to the tree with my Brother, after all we do not find such a big tree in our home country, right Kak?”
Junta closed his eyes and seemed to think of something.
“Hmm... I don't know how big the tree is, but there really doesn't seem to be any such tree in the place we came from, and also, it doesn't look very dangerous, so why not?”
“If you ask the problem of monsters, then of course there is safe, as long as I take the request to help find the treasure there, it is very rare for me to encounter monsters that roam”
“If there are already many people who try to find the treasure, even to the point of asking the Association for help.. Don't you think that the treasure doesn't actually exist?”
“I also think like that Junta, but somehow there are still many people who believe that there is something valuable waiting for them there”
“I hope that trust was made based on something real.”
“Of course, one day I will tell you about a story that underlies almost all the stories in this land”
“Against story? A story admired?”
“You can say that, some say that this story is real, some say it is just a hoax, but all the people living in this land know this story, since you are from a land far away from here, of course you have never heard of this kan”
“Why don't you tell me now?”
“We are on a mission, I don't want us to let our guard down by telling you a story where we ourselves are now outside of”
“I understand, monsters can appear at any time and a calm situation can change quickly”
“Looks like you quite understand our state of Junta, very good for the size of class 0”
“In my opinion we do not why a little relaxed, too serious in running something is also not a good thing, because it will make you forget about other things, is not it Kak?”
“I think Zonya is a person who wants to be serious when running things, so I guess such a principle only applies to us Kou”
“Of course I want to be serious, I am class 5, my seriousness is what brings me to this level you know?”
“Yes yes whatever, so Kou, what are your plans?”
“Plan? You mean the plan with the tree? I think we can try to find the hidden treasure, anyway if we don't find it we won't lose too”
“You really want to waste your time by looking for something that is not clear?”
“If Kou wants it then I will follow him”
“You can come with us if you want Zonya, I didn't ask you to come with us you know?”
“Maybe I won't join, I'm too bored with that mission, but let's see what will happen in the future, maybe I'll change my mind”
“Then Big Brother, when will we start this treasure hunt?”
“I follow you, whenever you want Kou”
“I'll keep you guys from the front like I did before, somehow I got a bad feeling”
“Oh alright”
After Kou said that, Zonya sped up her pace so that she was a little far ahead of Kou and Junta, and in the end they returned to their starting positions.
“Zonya is really serious in this mission”
“I think that's class 5? He walks in front to protect us Brother, I quite appreciate his actions, although I feel we don't need him”
“Kou, I know what you're thinking, we can't use Full Potential too often, didn't you get sick after using it?”
“Don't I tell you? If I don't use that we can die Brother, that attack is not an ordinary attack that I can withstand with my current strength”
“I don't want any of us to fall ill in this world, so the protection that Zonya gives us is something worth”
“Speaking something valuable, I feel that we should investigate that old tree”
“For his hidden treasure?”
“No, I feel more that we can get some valuable information if we investigate the tree”
“And why can you think like that?”
“I don't know, my gut feeling is strong saying that we should investigate the tree, maybe we can find something that can help us open the portal in order to get back to our world”
“Alright, if that is your wish then I will follow it, after all there is no harm in us going there, just think of it like berekreasi”
“According to Brother, what things can be hidden around a tree?”
”Hmm... I don't know, if that was me maybe I would hide something stupid that I usually use to play”
“Example?”
“You know, like playing pirate, you keep a box with something worthless and then someone else will find it based on the instructions you gave”
“Hmmm you think Ratu Rana knows something about the tree?”
“Because the tree is still in the kingdom of Ratu Rana, then it feels impossible if Ratu Rana does not know it”
“According to you we should ask Ratu Rana or we directly investigate it ourselves?”
“Asking Ratu Rana might be a good choice, a queen can know something her people can't, if you understand what I mean”
“I see, to be honest I am more interested in the story that will be told by Zonya, maybe the treasure story buried in the tree based on the story that Zonya” talks about
“Hmmm.. Maybe it's a popular history, I think it's wiser if we wait for Zonya to tell us that story, he said, then we can ask Ratu Rana if we are still confused or want to know something else”
“So I thought about what I thought”
“Of course, I'm your brother”
Kou and Junta started to laugh a little.
“I hope Ratu Rana doesn't have any more trouble”
“Kakak is too worried, Ratu Rana is a queen, after all we already know how the condition of the kingdom just before we leave, I am sure Ratu Rana can overcome this”
“I hope so”
