Legend of the Moon Crystal

Chapter 143 "Constancy of Heart"

The lesson of the day was really well noticed by Zeron. Although in fact he always paid very good attention to the lesson and never once messed around. Not wanting to make the slightest mistake that could make his teacher dissatisfied with his failure.

"Look-look!" He was about to correct when a dove perched on a glass jar and looked at it with eyes that for a moment flashed white.

He frowned and cast his magic to channel on the dove. The dove's body faded and melted before a film player-like image appeared where the dove was.

There was a figure of a man wearing black clothes, his hair was white and his beard was long. His eyes looked firmly, and there was an aura enveloping him. His voice sounded smooth yet cold at the same time. "Anorroxa."

"Greet the teacher."

Although it was only a memory fragment, Anorexa still gave her greetings out of respect. If Anorexa was Zeron's teacher, then Zeron should consider him his great teacher as he was the one who had taught his teacher.

The man's voice continued. "It's been almost 30 years your age now. It's time you decided on your partner, Anorexa."

Zeron's heart was pounding loudly, as if he had actually heard bad news, his face paled. His teacher was almost thirty years old, and in his territory, everyone should have a partner before even thirty years of age, or if it exceeded that, would not be allowed to find a partner. Zeron always forgot that fact, until now he had forgotten that his teacher was almost thirty years old in two months.

"I don't mean to interfere in your life, but I've helped you choose a man who might be your partner. Come to the top one more week, and meet those who are trying to get your heart. If you feel comfortable and good with one of them, marry them immediately."

Zeron looked at Anorexa who seemed silent, and seemed to be fondling something. He with his pair of quivering dark beads tried to control his mixed feelings and in the end he firmly closed his eyes and opened his slightly hoarse voice. "Teacher, please allow early rest. I'm feeling a little tired today."

"Are you okay? Does the teacher need to check on you?"

Zeron smiled and shook his head. "Not necessary, teacher. I'm just gonna take a break for a little bit because I'm a little tired. I'm not sick."

Anorexa did not comment much and nodded her head. "Rest then. If you feel uncomfortable, call the teacher immediately and the teacher will prepare the medicine."

"Good teacher. Thank you!"

He quickly returned to his room. Throwing himself onto the bed, Zeron's bead looked at the straw and wood ceiling with a blank look.

His mind became one, and what he remembered was that his master had his teacher choose his prepared partner. If that happened, not only could she not be with her teacher as her partner, her teacher could even leave her to be with her husband. Thinking about it, Zeron's head hurt, as much as his heart was like being stabbed by something invisible.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

He muttered in a paper-thin voice, and his pair of manics were watery. For the first time, Zeron was unable to hold back his tears.

Even when he was severely injured while fighting the demonic beasts. Even when she was exhausted from the practice, she never felt that she would cry. But this time, just by thinking about her teacher's face and smile, she couldn't hold back her tears.

...***...

It takes a lot of time to think about what he should be doing. The young man continued to avoid the teacher for several days, for various reasons.

Zeron was sitting under a tree when a voice interrupted him. "Sister Zeron, what's daydreaming?"

The young man turned his head, finding his younger brother looking at him with his head tilted curiously. Zeron looked at her for some time before shaking his head, making the girl pout.

"Sister Zeron can tell me. Even though I look childish, I'm actually not so stupid in the affairs of life. I actually have quite a lot of understanding about the problems that others often face." Say the girl.

The young man could not fully believe the words of the girl who was even younger than him. Discussing such a matter, it was actually better to discuss it with an adult. But seeing that firm and confident look of the bead, Zeron finally opened his lips after being silent for a few minutes. "If you're in love with someone, are you supposed to express it?"

The question made the girl raise her hand and touch her chin. "The answer depends on the truth. Whether big brother really loves him or it's just a momentary feeling of liking."

"I love her."

There was not the slightest doubt in her voice that made the girl glance at her and smile. "I don't think there's anything wrong with revealing it. As long as you have the mentality and determination, it does not matter as long as you do not continue to hold it for a long time it can become an obsession. Obsession is another more dangerous feeling."

Listening to the girl's words, Zeron thought about it carefully before he clenched his hands. He opened his lips to faintly mutter.

"Thank you."
