Reincarnationem: The War Kingdom

chapter 16 (Night)

The sound of the door knocking woke Zeint from sleep .He fell asleep after finishing his room.

Eyes that still feel sleepy he forced to open, cold and dark welcome it signifies today is near night.

With a slightly absentminded body Zeint grabbed the door algae and opened it.

"Yo Zeint ..!"- Welcome lux from outside the room.😆

"what is Lux?" asked Zeint as he rubbed his eyes.😴

"Let's have Ardy's dinner waiting downstairs!"

Zeint nodded then went back into the room to pick up his mask before he left there for dinner.

On the 1st floor the atmosphere has changed now the place has been filled with people his age who are huddling or joking with each other.

Zeint who stood at the end of the stairs is now in the spotlight of all the people who were there because they just found out there are new members who are now living with them.

Zeint's feelings become uncomfortable, their views seem to intimidate him at this time but Lux immediately changes the atmosphere.

"Oh yes you all are. He is a new student at the academy so from now on he will stay here" Lux said as she walked to the middle of the room to approach Ardy.

Their gaze still led to Zeint they felt strange with the appearance of Zeint wearing a mask without talking anything.

Little voices like who he was.he was strange.what the fuck he was heard by Zeint but ignored by him.

"Let's introduce yourself Zeint!"- Lux's request as she gently nudges Zeint's arm.

"oh yeah..My name is Zeint greetings know all!"- Speak Zeint a bit awkward.😅

They all looked at each other and whispered afterwards like they felt something else on their minds.

"Shiitt.shiit Zeint your mask!"- Lux gestured.

"mask?"🤨

"oh yeah!"😅

"I'm sorry I forgot to take off this mask!" - Zeint said as he removed the mask he was wearing with his right hand.

Vaaaa.aaa...😲😲😲😳😳🤯

The sound of screaming now echoed throughout the room, they were shocked to see Zeint's female-like face plus the long black hair made him very similar to a female.

Many of them approach Zeint, but Lux and Ardy immediately stop the actions of their friends.

"Calm down all her guys face that looks like girls.so try to calm down first!"- said Lux loudly.

Ardy who did not talk much also helped stop the other actions by directly pulling Zeint back up to the 2nd floor and told Zeint not to come out of his room because it would be more excited.

****

The night was getting late Zeint who just stayed in the room was quite bored, not much he did there just lying down or just staring at the ceiling of his room.

The dim moonlight began to expose the light again, the dark clouds are now slowly moving away giving space between the night sky to the Moon.

Zeint took back his mask that was placed on the table not far from where he was lying and looked at him with a look of gloomy face.

"sister.....Laura.....!"-She said slowly.🥺

krukkk.......

The sound of a hunger alarm now goes back Zeint who can not eat dinner now can only resign in bed. Blasphemy for the actions of the residents here he blames them all that makes him unable to eat dinner.

Can not stand the hunger Zeint took the initiative to look for fruits or mushrooms that might grow behind the dorm so that it can block his stomach which is currently rumbling.

The window now opened a gust of night wind greeted him without hesitation Zeint jumped out of his window grabbing a tree branch that happened to run not far from his window.

Although the atmosphere was dark but did not hinder Zeint's intention to find food. Zeint who was a former soldier in his previous life just smiled and continued to walk into the forest behind the Dormitory, considering this is something trivial that he often did first.

Deep into the forest Zeint looking around the tree that might grow fruit but unfortunately there is no one there that indicates the growth of fruit.

"there is only selaginella yasudah no problem than hunger!" - Speak Zeint while plucking one by one and eating it.😑

(Selaginella is a type of fern-like plant that grows in moist places has a green color with small leaves)

In the middle of eating Zeint saw a few flashes of light from behind the trees in front of him that made Zeint stop eating and chose to investigate the origin of the light.

Zeint settles behind the tree as he continues to step forward to ascertain what is there.

From behind the tree Zeint saw someone who continuously drew his sword forward.

Zeint sharpened his vision to determine who the person was and it turned out that the person was Nerfa who was practicing the sword.

Zeint who knew that he was Nerfa tried to walk up to him but a flash of light directly towards him was as spontaneous as Zeint dodged.

"Woi relaxed woi...!!" - Shouted Zeint while brandishing a hand towards Nerfa.😡

"You are Zeint I think a monster?" asked Nerfa as she sheathed her sword back to her hip.

"be careful that I didn't get to escape how?"😠😤

"Hahahaha sorry!"😅

"what is it?" asked Nerfa again.🤨

"Well for stomach reasons!"- Reply Zeint while eating the rest of the plants that were in his hands.

Nerfa put on a smile and then he walked towards Zeint and pulled his hand and walked to a tree trunk that lay not far from there.

"Sit down!"-Sit Nerfa.

Without asking much Zeint sat there watching Nerfa lighting a small lantern.

Nerfa walked up to Zeint and sat down beside him while thrusting a loaf of bread towards Zeint.

"let's eat together!"- Speak Nerfa with a big smile.

"Thank you very much this helped me!" - Reply Zeint who immediately ate the bread.

"oh yeah why are you training by yourself?" Zeint continued.

Nerfa smiled back and put her face in the sky, her hair tied in ponytails looks very beautiful when viewed from the side.

"I want to be strong Zeint!"

"Reason?"

"I want to save someone who saved me!"

"uh....."

"Living a little more surely I will be there soon to save him....!"

"Who is that man if I may know.?- Ask Zeint after his bread has been eaten.^^^^

Nerfa changed his sitting position to be more relaxed by passing both legs forward while his hands covered his body in the back.

Something strange feeling Zeint felt.

Something was felt when Zeint already knew about Mana.

Zeint's strands of hair unraveled past his sight. He gasped when the tip of his hair was already some white and remembered about the events that befell his brother and also the merchant.

"Mask....."😱

Zeint jumped away from Nerfa and hid behind the bushes.

"What is Zeint?" wondered Nerfa as Zeint jumped away.

"Nerfa there's something I just remembered so we move on tomorrow!"

"Wait Zeint......!"

Not yet able to continue the words Zeint had run away leaving Nerfa alone there.

Nerfa who felt Zeint's strange attitude tidied up his belongings and ran after Zeint.However it was in vain he did because Zeint had disappeared from his sight.

"Zeint why is it so strange that his attitude?"- said Nerfa suspicious 🧐
