Junta & Wizarding World
#41 Results
The Association Building was bustling as usual, but today, for some reason the Junta felt the Association building looked fuller than usual, there might be many Association members taking a day off, today, as usual Junta sat in his favorite spot to wait for his food to arrive while looking around him, it might be more appropriate to say Junta was looking at Maggie, this afternoon Maggie looks overwhelmed in handling the requests of the members of the Association, indeed Maggie has the main task to keep the reception desk, but not infrequently also Maggie helps her friends' work is to deliver food, since the Association looked more crowded than usual, so Junta was not at all surprised that Maggie had to go the extra mile.
“Yo Junta”
“Oh Zonya”
The Zonya that came without out of nowhere started walking closer towards the Junta then sat on the seat that was in front of it.
“Where is Kou?”
“She was at the inn, by the way what happened?”
“The story is long, but what has passed let it pass”
“So the rumor about the whole class 5 was seriously injured it's true?”
“So yes, I did not expect the information to circulate quickly, but yes it was true, it took time to recover my injuries but now all is well”
“So all 5 classes can work as usual now?”
“Not entirely, more precisely I only managed to recover in time as soon as this, another class 5 still needs time to heal”
“It looks like class 5 state is pretty severe.”
“Ah, Junta?”
Junta directed her eyes at the source of the voice that called out to her, and it turned out that it was Alicia with her green robe.
“Oh Alicia”
“What are you doing-Wah!”
Alicia was shocked after Zonya turned her head back to look at him.
“Bu-Aren't you Zonya?! Zonya the class 5?!”
“Uh.. It was me, what was it?”
Alicia suddenly dropped one of her knees on the floor and paid her respects like a king.
“I'm Alicia! Class 2's! It's an honor to meet you!”
“Uh.. Okay, can you stand up? You made me ashamed”
Alicia stood up at Zonya's request and walked over and sat down beside Junta.
”Alicia, could it be that you have never met a class 5 before?”
“Junta! Why is your attitude so relaxed?! The one in front of you is class 5!”
“Yes I know the Zonya is class 5, then why?”
“Already done, Alicia huh? No need to strain like that, I am indeed a class 5 but there is no need to treat me like an important person”
“How can you?! Class 5-”
“Alicia, you heard what Zonya said, behave as usual”
“I still can't believe you're so relaxed in front of the strongest person in the Junta Association, by the way what are you guys talking about? Am I bothering you?”
“Nothing, I came to meet Maggie and saw Junta, so I thought I'd say hello to her”
“Menyapa... Class 5 say hello class 0.. Really who you really are Junta”.
“Don't I tell you I'm just a regular traveler”
“Have you known each other for a long time? Did you form a team with Junta Alicia?”
“Ah no no, I did not form a team with Junta, after all we have not known” long ago
“Which Alicia said was right, I just met with Alicia yesterday, we are not that close”
“Oh, I see, so Junta, let's continue the conversation earlier, what happened during my time away?”
“I don't know, I don't think there's any strange incident that needs attention from class 5 like you, shouldn't you ask Maggie for this matter Zonya?”
“That's my goal here, but”
Zonya looked back to see Maggie who was busy delivering food.
“Looks like Maggie can't be bothered for a while this”
“I also from earlier waiting for my food and have not come”
While looking at Maggie who was busy delivering food, Junta suddenly remembered something.
“Oh Zonya, I just remembered the incident that made me meet Alicia, Alicia said that her friend was attacked by a monster that could cause her target to be exposed to some kind of mind control magic, maybe you want to talk about that with Maggie later”
“Oh?, Alicia, is that true?”
“Ah, that's right, it happened in the ruins area around this city”
“Alright, I will ask Maggie to give her report later, should the Association already know 1 or 2 things regarding this matter”
“Be careful if you want to investigate this Zonya, this monster is much stronger than the spider monster it”
“You know, it feels strange I was commemorated by class 0 like you, but yes thank you, I will be careful”
“Kakak”
Zonya and Alicia are shocked by the arrival of Kou who came out of nowhere.
“What's Kou?”
“I managed to master it”
Junta looked at Kou seriously, then said.
“As I expect from you, then let's start”
Kou quickly took out a brown paper roll along with a bottle of black water from under his cape, after putting it all on the table, Kou said.
“This magic needs a lot of Mana”
After saying that, Kou unrolled the brown paper scroll that turned out to be a map.
“I have tested this magic to track the whereabouts of Big Brother using the mask that we bought at that time, to track down the whereabouts of Big Brother in this city alone is enough to make my Mana drained, and for the sake of tracking accuracy, I plan to cast this magic on a large scale”
“Once, you want to enlarge this magic search area as big as this map ya”
“Wait a minute, hey Kou, don't you want to say hello to me? We haven't seen each other in a long time, have we? Don't you want to say something?”
“We're sideways for now Zonya, I'm discussing something very important here”
“At least tell me what you did Kou, you suddenly came here and directly spoke something I don't understand”
“To put it simply, we want to track someone Zonya”
“Tracking? By magic? Is there such magic?”
“I myself also just found out and just mastered it”
“And you want to track someone with a search area the size of this map? Do you know what you're talking about? This is a map of this land! This is a map that shows every kingdom that stands on this land! With an area of this size Where it takes is not a little”
“I know that, that's why I asked my sister's help”
Kou looked at his brother after saying that.
”I understand, what should I do?”
“Same as that time, Big Brother just hold my hand just”
Kou said that while extending his right hand to the Junta, and after the Junta held onto Kou's right hand, Kou instantly closed his eyes to activate that tracking magic, just after Kou closed his eyes, his body and his elder brother's body gave off a bright blue light, bright enough to make the people around set their sights on them, after which, after which, the bottle containing the black water along with the map that lay on the table began to glow blue as well, a moment later, the blue light emanating from Kou and Junta's bodies disappeared along with the disappearance of the blue light from the bottle and the map.
The blue light lingered for quite a while before it finally disappeared completely, right after the blue light had disappeared out of nowhere, Kou who had been standing suddenly fell to the floor, it was fortunate that Zonya was nearby so before Kou's body fell Zonya caught him, the Junta who had been sitting was also seen about to faint in a moment.
“Kou, are you okay?”
“Only.. Little exhausted.. Thank you Zonya”
“Don't be too forced, and so is Junta, are you okay?”
“Ya so it is.. You don't have to worry”
After the Junta said that, a white, circular beam illuminated one part of the map as if it was illuminated from below using a small flashlight.
“So yes.. So here's how it works.”
The junta looks at the map carefully, the illuminated section is to the left of the map, and the Junta knows their current position is to the right of the map.
Kou who managed to stand up with both feet said.
“Zonya.. Do you know where this is.?”
“It.. Kingdom fairy forest”
“Kingdom fairy?”
“The bright area as if illuminated from under this map is the territory of the forest fairy kingdom, there are also those who call this the kingdom of the elves, as I said earlier you should have gotten a rough idea of this kingdom right?”
“The forest.. Meaning this kingdom is filled with forests?”
“To be exact, I have never been to this kingdom before, because indeed I have never found a request that requires me to go to the elf kingdom, at least from the news I heard, the kingdom is quite friendly to outsiders as long as they do not seek trouble in their kingdom”
Kou and Junta returned to look at the map after hearing a brief explanation from Zonya.
“So.. She is in the forest fairy kingdom, is she an elf?”
Kou murmured softly, but Junta could hear him, to be honest the Junta was also surprised by the existence of other races in this world, all this time the Junta had only met races similar to humans, or it could be said that the race itself, for example like Zonya or Alicia, of course Queen Rana is an exception, Junta considers the queen of rabbits is an abnormal creature, the queen of rabbits, since the Junta had never seen anything of the kind with Queen Rana so the Junta thought that the rabbit ears that Queen Rana had were some sort of oddity.
But after learning of the existence of an elf race in this world, the Junta wondered whether they would meet a race similar to the Queen of Rana or not.
“Although I still don't really understand what's going on, but if indeed this white light is pointing towards someone you're looking for, then this will be a little troublesome, then, this white light shines over a wide area, there are some bright cities here so if you really want to look for that person, maybe you should look for it in some bright cities”
“This also happened while I was tracking down my brother earlier, it seems like this magic cannot tell us the exact location of the target we are looking for, for now I will try to optimize this magic, for now, such as optimizing Mana needed or minimizing search area results, so it is not as wide as this”
“From that, how can we go to the elf kingdom of Zonya?”
After listening to Junta's question, Zonya seemed to think.
“Actually the easiest and fastest way is to pass through the kingdom of Slyn, then go to the kingdom of Varka, after which we only arrive at the kingdom of elf”
Zonya said that while moving her index finger over the map spread out on the table.
“But, as you know the kingdom of Slyn is now at war with this kingdom, if you are afraid to go in there then we can choose the path revolving”
“If we choose the path through the kingdom of Slyn, how long does the journey have to take?”
“Hmmmm”
His zone folded his hands again and said.
“Honestly I don't know, I can't give a precise estimate of the time because I've never been to that kingdom before, maybe about 2 or 3 months?”
“Hmmm turned out to be quite old”
Upon hearing Zonya's reply, Junta folded his hands together on his chest and was seen thinking of something.
“How do you think Kou?”
Kou stared at the map and looked like he was counting something.
“With the amount of money we have now, maybe we can go to the elf kingdom without having any financial problems, after all if we run out of money, anyway, we can go to the nearest Association building to pick up the request”
“Wait for Kou first, if you really think like that then the calculation of my estimated time did not apply”
“I think it makes sense, if we take a request in the middle of a trip, then our time will be wasted to complete the request, then, which will automatically make us even longer to get to the kingdom of elf”
After hearing the response from his older brother to Zonya's statement, Kou folded his hands and said.
“How else, the trip this time is very far, if we want to focus on our journey, then we need very much money Kakar”
“Before that, can this magic be used repeatedly Kou?”
“This magic can indeed be used repeatedly, but just like you felt earlier, this magic takes up too much Mana, especially if the search area is very large, taking into account the amount of Mana Big Brother has and the amount of Mana I have, then the safe limit might be that we can use this magic at least 1 time a day”
“Then I think it doesn't matter if we take a long time to get to the elf kingdom, after all we can track this person at least 1 time a day, anyway, so we won't lose track of him, I'm more worried about whether the person we're tracking will feel like he's being tracked or something like”
“How about you Brother? As I said before I came here I tested this magic by tracking you using the mask we bought back then”
“Indeed I felt someone was staring at me, but what I felt couldn't be a reference”
Kou let out a small sigh after hearing the answer from his older brother, it is true that what the Junta felt could not be used as a reference, this was because their abilities could be said to be much higher than that of a military leader of a kingdom, indeed, the target of the Junta this time is still unknown who and how much his ability, if his ability is equivalent to Junta or Kou, then surely that person can feel it too, too, and if that happens, it will be very troublesome if the target Junta uses magic that can interfere with Kou's tracking magic, such as a magic that can prevent Junta and Kou from knowing his position, or maybe a magic that can give Kou a false location.
“So Brother, what should we do?”
“Of course we will go to the kingdom of elves, for the path.. I think what Zonya suggested was good enough, we will pass through the kingdoms of Slyn and Varka before finally reaching the kingdom of elf”
“What Brother is sure? Kingdom of Slyn is the enemy of this kingdom”
“It's okay Kou, as long as you go there as a member of the Association then the guards won't catch you”
“And why is it like that Zonya?”
“That is because the Association is a neutral organization of the Junta, we are not in favor of any kingdom and that is why we should be fine when entering the territory of the kingdom of Slyn, it just so happens that I also have a special request that requires me to go to Varka kingdom, so why don't we leave together? I am also curious about the kingdom of elf”
“Special request? Didn't you just get well? Why take request?”
“Perhaps more precisely if the Association gave this request to me Junta, just think of it like command”
“In my opinion this is a good idea Brother, I think the presence of class 5 is quite beneficial for us”
“Alright, then the three of us will go”
“Ehm... Can I come too?”
Alicia who had been silent from earlier now started to open her mouth.
“Oh Alicia, since when were you there”
“I was here long before you came Kou.”
“So, why do you want to come with us Alicia? I will reiterate this once again if this trip of mine and my sister is not for recreation”
“Actually Professor Barley ordered me to meet with someone in Varka kingdom, I plan to leave together with a merchant who is a friend of Professor Barley”
“Isn't it much safer if you come with that person?”
“A-I feel more comfortable leaving with someone you know, if you understand what I mean”
“How do you think Kou?”
“Hmm, I don't mind if anyone else is on this trip, as long as he can take care of himself”
“Te-Quiet it! I am a Class 2! Although I am not as strong as Zonya but I am strong enough to protect myself!”
“Yes.. I guess that's also included, although that's not what I mean”
“Then it is determined, I, Junta, Kou and Alicia huh? Leave it to me for the vehicle problem, you just need to focus on preparing yourself”
“I count on you Zonya”
“Sure, you can count on me Junta, by the way Junta, why don't you take the request that is in line with our trip this time?”
“Are you kidding? The payment we should have gotten for purifying the black water back then had not been given to us yet, the Association seems to still be having financial troubles, so I doubt”
“Why not think of it as savings or something? After all, the request to be taken is a request that is in line with our trip, there is no harm right?”
Junta folded his hands on his chest and looked at Kou who was still standing nearby.
“How do you think Kou?”
“There is no harm in following the advice of Zonya Brother, what Zonya said is correct, we just need to take the request that is in line with our journey, we, oh and of course as long as we don't take the request too much or too hard, then we don't have to worry about the time we need to arrive at the elf kingdom, then, I also feel that this is good enough to add to the funds we have, and as Brother said earlier that we can track this guy at least once a day, so I also think that we should not be afraid of losing track”
Junta let out a long sigh after hearing Kou's reply, what Kou said did make sense, there was no harm in Junta taking the request that was in line with the trip this time.
“Your argument is hard to dispute Kou, well I understand, I'll talk to Maggie later”
