Legend of the Moon Crystal
Chapter 25 "Towards Alvatro"
As the night approached the people, sleeping, Iloania woke up naturally in her dorm room. That afternoon, the dormitory division was explained. With the division of uniforms and special items needed to become a disciple in Dragonia Academy was already needed. Milied said that learning will begin tomorrow at 8am in each class after breakfast. The 3 meter x 3 meter dormitory is inhabited by him alone, with the bathroom located at the corner with a different door next to the storage room.
Technically, the dormitory room was not spacious but not so narrow. There was a single bed with a study table near the window, complete with a study lamp that would glow brightly enough when cast by magic. It was a silver witch's creation.
Iloania stood up and stepped out when she was already wearing a robe on her body.
...***...
"Excuse me brother," said Iloania to the young man guarding the exit and entrance gates of Dragonia Academy.
The young man turned his head and was stunned, before shaking his head slightly and replying to the kindly greeting of Iloania. "Yes? Can I help you?"
Iloania smiled, "Can I get out tonight brother? I have some pretty important business."
"Ah, you must define that important affair. Do you want to go out shopping, to meet your parents or what?" Asked the young man in a subtle tone.
"Tonight I want to put my gun in the gun shop. There are some parts that need to be changed, and yah~ I think it's important, for me to come back once tomorrow morning." Answer Iloania.
The young man nodded, "Of course it matters. Can I get your Red Token?"
Iloania conjures up a small circular object with an intricate carved dragon head on it. It was red with the edges decorated in the form of leaves and creeping tendrils. The Red Token, was a special token made especially for disciples in Dragonia Academy. With that token, students can get permission to go out and enter for matters that feel reasonable. Red Tokens are the same as Blue Tokens and White Tokens. The difference is red tokens for class 1, blue tokens for class 2 and white tokens for class 3 or the final tier.
Iloania regained its tokens after being examined.
"Don't lose your token, remember? Be careful on the way. Remember to bring something glowing. Do you need a lantern?" Ask the young man.
Iloania nodded in spirit, "I have fire magic, so there's no need. Thank you brother, see you~"
...***...
Leaving the Dragonia Academy, Iloania appeared at the entrance of the Dragonia Academy. His slender legs layered in flatshoes moved away from the portal while his golden bead watched his seemingly desolate surroundings. The city still seemed crowded, with every corner attached lanterns and lights that glowed with magic. This of course avoids the shadows approaching. Although, in some time, there were still some people who were lost and were supposedly due to shadows. All the real evidence that leads is clear.
His fingers moved lightly, picking up the slowly appearing black disk and dropping it in front of him. When he stood up, the black disk floated up and darted rapidly towards a distant place. Kilometer.
The city of Alvatro, a town in district 5, west of the kingdom of Alete. The city is known for the cruelty and barbaric attitude of its inhabitants. Which makes them a little isolated from the outside world, because it is shunned. The city is filled with those who are good at fighting with weapons, and their daily life is in fact hunting and fighting with swords as a hobby. Within 5 hours of travelling at a rapid pace, Iloania had arrived at the gate of the city of Alvatro which did not have the same lighting as other cities. Lighting is pretty minimal. Only, the city was surrounded with strange star-shaped flowers with a faint golden glow in each of its petals that branched out with a crystal-like shape.
"I'm back again" Iloania muttered with a smile in her eyes.

Sixteenth day, eighth month of summer, Alvatro City
14-year-old Iloania stepped lightly along the path. Stepping out of the forest in a white sleeveless and sleeveless dress with a black semi-transparent robe that is tied just around the waist. Occasionally humming, Iloania moved her hand sweeping the green leaves. Until he stopped walking as soon as he saw a big city gate. And it's made of real rocks.
As Iloania approached, two young men in their teens held her captive. "Hey, who are you?"
Raising her face, Iloania displayed her smile. "Only travelers accidentally pass by in this city. Can I stay here for a few days?"
"No. Go!" Get rid of that young man named Farleon Shallr.
Iloania slightly lowered her head, "Can't she? Just a few days."
"No bi-!"
"What's this?" The young man's words came to a halt when he saw a woman with a sharp and high stature staring at them intently.
"Ah" parrot Iloania looked up, when she saw how big the woman in front of her was.
The inhabitants of this city have other privileges. Although unable to use magic, they have large and tall bodies of both women, women and children. They are from the Giantave Tribe. A tribe allegedly born with giant blood on their bodies. So, their body size could indeed be said to exceed the body size of a normal person.
"Who is he?" Asked the woman to Farleon who was slightly retreating.
"Miss Received. We don't know who it was that suddenly came. He said he was exhausted and wanted to stay for a few days. When I told him to leave, he kept trying to stay here for a few days." Farleon.
"What's your name?" Ask the Receiver.
Iloania raised her big smile, "My name is Iloania, aunt."
...***...
Iloania does not understand the situation at the moment. Yeah, he doesn't quite understand. Where now he is sitting on a bench with many women who are the same as Dirima sitting cross-legged below him. Despite sitting down, they were still aligned with Iloania who was sitting on the sizable bench. Not only women, many people who are teenagers and big men come around Iloania in the very large room.
"Geez, she's so adorable."
"Look how good he is! A little baby!"
"How could she look so beautiful like that."
"Mother, is she a fairy doll?"
"Look like a fairy."
"What's her name? Iloania right?"
People were whispering and wondering when they saw the figure of Iloania. They looked at him as if they had never seen him. While Iloania looked around her with a sweet smile that was smooth even though it implied a little stiffness in it. When he answered Dirima's question asking his name, Iloania was immediately lifted up and taken around the city cheerfully. Unknown to Iloania, Dirima was the leader of the city of Alvatro. The people who saw him especially the women squealed happily and approached him.
"Iloania, how did you get here?" Ask Receiving.
"Em, actually Ilo has been traveling since childhood. And it just so happens today to be in this city after from the city of Marai. So being a little tired, Ilo thought of settling down for a few days, also looking around this town for a bit." Answer Iloania.
"Ah? Where the hell did you come from? You alone? Where are your parents?" Asked a man beside Dirima, Zaree Clavien, the husband of Dirima.
"Ilo comes from a place far away from here. And well, Ilo didn't know who Ilo's parents were from birth."
Iloania's reply made Zaree curl her lips in dismay when she saw Dirima's sharp gaze. While others appear to put a face of sympathy on the still smiling Iloania.
"I-I'm sorry Ilo." Zaree.
Iloania shook her head and replied with a light smile, "It's okay, it's okay. Ilo's used to it, after all, there's nothing wrong with being curious about seeing a girl roam alone without an adult."
He looked down for a moment, "I'll let you stay here until you're gone. I specifically let you circle the city together with Farleon."
"Ah? Me? Not want!" Said Farleon who had been leaning against the wall ever since.
"There is no rejection."
"Cih~"
Dirima turned his head and looked at Iloania with a smile, "By the way how old are you, Ilo?"
Iloania smiled, "14 years."
Suddenly, silence fell.
