Jissiana waited in front of Lasius' class. It had been a day since the attack on the Demon King. And because the construction of the Dragonia Academy building used magic, the damaged building could be repaired quickly, and the academy resumed operations after giving directions to the residents that yesterday was just an attack of ordinary black magicians.
The security of the Dragonia Academy has been tightened. Everyone who wants to go in or out, will be checked with a rotating shift. Be it from the school supervisor or student supervisor from the third level. As long as the person looked suspicious, they would catch him first to check. Only if that person had no evil intentions would they let go. Vice versa.
...***...
That afternoon Jissiana waited next to the class of Lasius with a pale face. His hands trembled with fingers interlocked. Her green bead occasionally looked to see if Lasius had dropped out of his class.
Pt .. Pt ..
"So it was quite fun."
"Fun what, it was a boring lesson."
"I did it already, you know? I'm sure you haven't."
Those people from grade 1-1 were flocking out. Jissiana hid a little, until Jissiana made sure that Lasius was not among the crowd, Jissiana immediately approached the door. Lasius was sitting on a bench reading a book on the table.
"Sir Lasius!" Jissiana's call made Lasius turn his head.
"What's wrong?" Ask Lasius.
Jissiana looked around quickly. His lips trembled as he delivered his words, which made Lasius' bead widen. The young man immediately got up from his chair, then dashed out without heeding Jissiana's similarly anxious call.
"Iloania! APA members bring Iloania on the grounds of investigation. I heard that although they did not suspect that Iloania was a plot of the Demon King, they would check to prove their opinion. Now, Iloania has been taken away to the APA headquarters!"
Lasius tightened his jaws, "They don't even know how Fleia sacrificed herself to protect Iloania and everyone. Even myself !"
...***...
"Hey, am I considered a criminal here?" Iloania asked.
He was in an empty room with only one door across the table and bench. Iloania tried to use her magic a little, but she could not use her magic one bit.
"Am I a criminal here ?" Iloania.
Iloania supported her face with one hand and slightly lowered her head. His silence indicates that he is thinking. There was no smile on his face, and the gentleness on his face disappeared, filled with seriousness.
"Vle, I probably knew Guru Gamma because when I was 2 years old, as I remember I was once invited by the teacher to meet him. But what are the other two ?" Iloania.
He still thinks. "The Blind Flute Blowers. Fleia didn't tell me where I could find him. Is he .. in this kingdom? That's possible."
"Then, will Gamma's teacher still recognize me? It's been a dozen years." Iloania immediately dismissed her thoughts.
"Gamma Master will of course still recognize me. Anyway, I think maybe I didn't recognize Gamma's teacher." Her thought.
Iloania slightly furrowed her brows, "Zhoie. If I have to go back there, is it to meet them ?"
Cklek!
Iloania was attracted to the real world when she heard the sound of the door knobs spinning and opening. His golden bead caught a middle-aged man. The white mustache slightly closed its lips, stepping with full firmness. Behind him, a black-robed girl was seen following behind him. Judging from her appearance, the girl might still be eight or nine years old. Complete with a teddy bear in his hand.
The man pulled a bench across from Iloania and sat down, letting the little girl sit next to him.
"My name is Vacco Brai. I am a core member of APA who has the authority to conduct an investigation into the Demon King case. Surely you also know, that the existence of a Demon King is very and very dangerous for the whole world. So I hope, you can work with me." Vacco introduced himself.
Iloania sat in front of him, smiling and nodding her head briefly. There was no trace of nervousness on his face, and his demeanor was natural.
"You don't have to be nervous or anxious. I'll just ask you a few questions, and I hope you can answer them according to what we expected." Vacco said again.
"Ah, huh?" Iloania faint murmur.
"The Demon King is in the sky and why is he after you? Because like the report I received, the target of the Demon King seems to be you." Ask Vacco.
Iloania replied with a smile, "I don't know." It's disgusting, because I also don't know the reason creatures seem to be after me. Have I killed him in my life before?
Again, Iloania replied with a smile, "I don't know." Ah right, maybe because he's after my powers. But, where did ya .. my strength?
Vacco's face did not change, and the little boy beside her was still playing his puppet quietly. "Can you answer where you came from and how you ended up in this kingdom?"
"I'm from Zhoie. And I, I don't have a reason to be there." Because of the teacher, it's no longer there. Can I still call it home?
"Why is that?" Ask Vacco.
"Because the teacher is no longer there." Answer Iloania briefly.
"Who's your teacher?" Ask Vacco again.
Iloania slightly lowered her eyes, "My teacher . I don't know who she is. I just know that she took care of me until I was 5." Who is it, teacher? Why didn't I ever ask him this before? Looks like .. because I'm sure, will get to know the teacher as time goes on. But, because of her .. because of her I even lost a teacher. That Demon King!
Vacco's question made Iloania a little jolted. "Do you know anything else? Can you say it?"
Iloania remained silent for two seconds, before replying, "I will tell you everything I know. How I originally met the Demon King. But maybe, it'll be a pretty long story."
The boy next to Vacco raised his face. When Iloania opened her lips to start telling stories, the girl's pair of blue black beads turned black as dark as night, even to the white areas of her eyes.
...***...
"Hallias, speed up."
Lasius rode on the back of Hallias who darted rapidly in the night sky. His journey to the Kingdom of Vartea. The Kingdom of Vartea sits in the middle of the Atlas continent, which makes it the best territory for APA headquarters. Moreover, Vartea was a neutral kingdom. Which means, not taking sides with any kingdom. So it is very fitting to be APA headquarters.
"I have to get there soon! " Inner Lasius.
Hallias stopped suddenly, making Lasius furrow his brows. He asked, before his question was swallowed when he saw Gheorn at the top of the tower.
"You're going?"
Lasius asked, "How do you know?"
Gheorn laughed a little, "Dragonia Academy is my eyes. I can see everything, except some places of course."
"So, you're leaving?" Ask Gheorn to repeat.
Lasius nodded firmly without hesitation, "I will take Iloania out of there. I don't know the reason they brought Iloania, but if that reason was because of their suspicion of Iloania, I can't let them."
"If you take him out, what if they think of you as a traitor?" Ask Gheorn.
"I'll fight whoever it is." Lasius said with conviction.
Gheorn looked at Lasius, smiling before turning down the steps of the tower.
"May it work." He said before disappearing behind the wall.
Lasius stared at him for a moment, before firmly staring ahead. "We continue our journey, Hallias."
"Good sir." Hallias answered before darting back to Vartea.
