The After World Breaker

Chapter 30: A cold heart and an empty soul

Enjoying a warm tea, Zen calmly enjoys his day in the late afternoon. The sky is starting to look orange, the night is coming soon. Enjoying the afternoon air, close his eyes, while facing up. "Well... It's delicious." Opening her eyes, she was surprised to see Nia who looked at her closely on her face and ended up falling out of a chair. "Can you not surprise me like that?!"

"Hmm? Aren't you usually wary of your surroundings?"

Zen did not answer that and chose silence, then stood up to tidy up his chair, and enjoyed the afternoon, regardless of Nia who was behind him.

Feeling ignored, Nia seemed to sulk, and like muttering annoyedly at Zen. Looking at Nia who was like a sulk, Zen sighed, then stood up and looked at Nia. "What do you want?"

Still sulking, Nia instead went inside, leaving Zen still annoyed what happened to the woman's behavior. Scratching his head in annoyance, Zen's mood became bad after being bullied by Nia earlier. Going into the house, he happens to meet with Allenz , and asks Allenz if he has any free time. Allenz also fit really does not have important things that are done.

Zen asks to train him in new magic, and seeing the development of him, Allenz agrees, both go to the side yard of the house and train Zen in his magic.

"By the way, where's your magic level?" Ask AllenZ.

Trying to recall the last time he practiced, Zen replied. "Maybe it's level four."

"Huh, how fast?" Allenz was quite strange to hear Zen's magic level, how could it be that fast?

At Allenz, Zen explained that because of an anomaly in his body he could learn magic faster and easier by continuing to practice over time. That was the reason he now wanted to practice again and learn new magic at a later level.

Hearing Zen's reply, Allenz asked Zen to calm down and meditate. Eliminating all thoughts and feelings, Zen tries to calm himself and let himself feel free from the problems.

Empty his mind, try to focus. Breathing slowly, Zen well did it all, his body as light and becoming refreshed.

Feeling enough, Allenz folded the session, and asked Zen to stretch.

Zen did it, he also did regular gymnastics. However, it was stopped by Allenz, making Zen confused and wondering. "What's wrong?"

"You, wait here." Allenz went from there, he seemed to be about to take something.

Zen was just waiting outside, occasionally he tried his magic, how his own magic development. According to him, it was quite good, he just had to train again to improve his magic.

Out of Zen's house, Allenz brought two swords, and gave one to Zen. This is the stretch he was referring to.

Seeing the wooden sword in his hand, Zen immediately stuck the sword on the ground, then spoke. "I don't need this."

"Why?"

"I wonder if I can still use my old martial technique."

Not to worry about that, Allenz allows that. Zen then prepared with the front horses, closed his eyes and took a breath to calm himself, in order to focus. Just opening his eyes, Allenz had already attacked and hit him from the side, hitting his waist. "I'm not ready, you fool!"

"Rules are not written number one in a fight: you must be ready under any circumstances." Allenz attacked once again from the front.

Zen saw the attack, now he was ready and dodged by twisting his body a little. This made Allenz's attack hit nothing. Zen quickly gave an attack from below and hit his stomach. Makes Allenz a little backwards.

Trying to provoke and test Allenz's patience. "Is it just that?"

Slightly provoked, Allenz attacked Zen again. With a little use of wind magic on his legs to move faster. With a serious face, Zen noticed the movements of Allenz who attacked him again.

When Allenz reached Zen's range, he used his left hand to catch Allenz's arm trying to slash him from above. He kicked Allenz from the side, causing Allenz to be thrown over. "Unwritten rule number two in a fight: Don't get carried away with emotions easily." Zen.

Trying to stand back up, Allenz was surprised as Zen walked up to him quickly. With a fist pointed right at Allenz's face, he slightly took one step back. Fortunately the fist did not reach his face, but stopped right in front of his face. Even that punch, it slightly produced a wind that Allenz could sense. In his heart, he even felt whether Zen was the reincarnation of Bruce Lee.

Unknowingly, when Allenz was silent, it was taken by Zen, he pulled Allenz and dealt an elbow blow to Allenz's face once again. Continued with a few punches on the boy's body, the movement from Zen's hand could not bear Allenz completely. Although, his eyes were able to see Zen's body movements. But, his reflexes slowed down and caused him to be unable to withstand all the attacks.

Zen then took a step back, prepared to go back, he immediately ran and jumped towards Allenz. Allenz who saw Zen jump he quickly tried to resist Zen's attack. With all the energy he used on his right hand, he jumped up and ran down the Pendulum attack.

Zen's hand-attack managed to break the sword Allenz was using for cover. Allenz's eyes opened wide to see the sword breaking with the fist that Zen had given him. Without long Zen using the Scissor technique on Allenz, he immediately rested his body with one hand to turn, then clamped Allenz's neck with both legs, about to drop Allenz easily, so he could not help but, cause Allenz's own legs to wobble. Sitting above Allenz, Zen forcefully hit the ground just to the left of Allenz's ear.

Allenz was silent as Zen dropped him, Zen then stood up from Allenz and took a deep breath and exhaled. "Goddess..."

Allenz took a sitting position, and commented on Zen's martial technique. "Don't say it's shilat."

"Light."

"Yes that's."

"Gosh, in the end we're not even practicing magic, hahaha." Zen said with a chuckle. "It's a mah, just like a regular fight. By the way can we repeat? But, this time really should learn magic, huh?'

"It doesn't matter, but my body is all stiff, maybe I'll teach slowly." Allenz complained that his whole body felt stiff.

Hearing that, Zen explained, that when he attacked the nerve point on Allenz's body, that's what causes Allenz's body to stiffen.

"Relax, I'll just hit the place I was looking for."

Getting that answer, Allenz chose to refuse, as he was a little traumatized by the Zen martial technique earlier. "That's not necessary, thank you."

"Come on, you here, stay quiet and you'll feel better." Said Zen holding back Allenz who tried to escape.

"Ras, I'm okay, don't need to go that far, Ras? Race?! RASHID?!" In the end, Allenz ended up getting a nerve from Zen.

The people from within the mansion, were impressed by how Zen was able to cripple Allenz with his martial techniques. They became impressed with Zen, they became interested in Zen who was skilled in Hand to Hand techniques.

Arthur also commented on Zen. "I was quite surprised, after he had participated in the previous war, and also how the techniques he used in fighting. I don't know what technique it is. But, I assure you he seems to be well versed in a fight or a battle."

Everyone there agreed, including Zen's own personal servants. On the other hand Nia just listened to what Arthur said, and just kept quiet while leaning against the wall.

Outside, Zen and Allenz refocused on training by fighting using magic. This is also to see how far Zen magic has progressed.

Attack after attack Allenz attacked Zen with a wind magic attack, Zen continued to dodge the attack as much as possible.

"Oi, oi, oi. Don't make continuous attacks!"

Allenz quietly continued to attack Zen, Zen with as much as possible to avoid the attack. Now it seems that Allenz is still upset during the previous fight.

Until Allenz lunged quickly at Zen, until the moment near, Zen's body turned into a kind of black fog smoke and penetrated it. Allenz was shocked as Zen turned into a smog.

"W-what the fuck is that?!" Allenz was surprised by Zen's change into smog.

"Shocked? I just learned that yesterday, so not only can you disappear, but I can."

Until the two disappear simultaneously, and reappear to attack each other.

The second fight until it takes quite a long time, until the dark day has arrived. Where they will decide to continue training tomorrow. At night they washed themselves and ate together. At that very moment, Zen asked about their home. Which Arthur answered in two days their house would be finished and could be repopulated.

As a result of the previous incident, Arthur also decided to change some parts of the house to make it look spacious, and cause it took a long time.

Allenz and Nayaka responded with a nod.

At night Zen, as usual, stayed on the porch, now with Iris who was asleep on Zen's thigh, the two enjoyed a clear night and the bright-looking buan illuminated the world on a dark night together with the stars.

Nia came out with the lamp, and put the lamp and sat down with them. Until Nia invites Zen to practice in his own way. However, it was rejected by Zen.

He was unwilling to train with a person whose heart was as cold as Nia's. However, Nia responded by saying that Zen was a man whose soul seemed empty, with only his eyes and movements.

Chuckling at Nia's reply, Zen then sneered back, making them instead throw mockery at each other. This made Iris wake up and decide to sleep in her room, leaving the two on the porch.

Since Iris had left, Zen had instead agreed to Nia's attack earlier. To him, he wanted to know a little about this woman's abilities, and was trivialized by Nia. Nia picked up the broom that was located near the door, Zen prepared with the horses and prepared.

Both of them instantly shot and attacked, from the way they grasped and the technique Nia used, it seemed that she was an expert at using spears.

Zen easily dodged and twisted his body about to hit Nia, Nia quickly resisted the attack with her left hand. He directly attacked Zen from the side, Zen nimbly subdued his body.

Nia was quickly about to kick Zen who was looking down, Zen quickly held back the kick by crossing both hands. Zen fell and lay on the ground. Nia continued to attack as if stabbing Zen with the end of the broom handle, easily Zen dodged and continued to repel the attack.

Until Nia lifted the broom and hit Zen who was still lying. With both hands, he held the broom before it landed on his head. This made the two pull each other, Zen firmly raised the broom until Nia was lifted. Then kicked him backwards, making Nia's grip come loose.

The two stood back up and continued the fight.

The next day, Allenz woke up and came out, found Zen and Nia who seemed to be fighting each other, he thought Zen might invite Nia to practice fighting again, like yesterday with Allenz himself. There is also Iris who was watching the two people since earlier, while drinking goat milk with a small glass and also some biscuits.

Sitting with Iris, Allenz asked Iris. "How long have they been?"

Iris answered. "Since last night, they've been like this since yesterday."

"What?! What a crazy person?!" Allenz was surprised. "Which one did the fight all night!"

"You just saw it for yourself." Iris.

"Ugh, but this is outrageous?! You guys stop it now?!" Allenz immediately stood up and was about to stop the fight between Nia and Zen.

Iris who was devouring biscuits for him, she immediately shouted. "I suggest you don't do that, if I were you." His shouting. "ah! He didn't hear, never mind."

Until the middle of the two men, Allenz stopped them. With wind magic, he made a strong wind to stop the two people.

It makes a long fight Zen and Nia stopped due to Allenz. The two looked at Allenz who was also staring at them seriously as if asking what they were doing. "You guys stop?! I heard from Iris that you guys have been like this all night?!"

Zen immediately said that. "Is that bothering you?"

"of course! Which crazy person did the fight all night?!"

"Of course, we." Both Sahut.

Allenz massaged his forehead, is there with these two people? Without thinking about it any further, which only made her more dizzy. Allenz then forced the two of them to give up the stupid thing and asked them to go inside and wash themselves, then rest.

Allenz looked at the two men and went inside the house, not thinking about what they had just done. While he was still staring at them, Allenz's eyes were closed by someone from behind. Allenz was silent as he suspected who it was. "Theresa?"

Removing her hand from Allenz's eyes, Teresa smiled. "Hehe, happy spring." Replied by Allenz's nod, Teresa who was aware of Allenz who seemed upset. "What's up?'

"There's nothing, just just got pissed with two morons." Allenz.

Iris who from the beginning of the house, he greeted the arrival of Teresa. "Hello sister Teresa!"

Teresa, who saw Iris, approached the girl, then returned the girl's greeting. "Hello, Iris. Well, that looks good."

Leaving Teresa with Iris on the porch, Allenz walks in and meets her mother, Anya. His face was also like a guess when he saw the look of Allenz's face. "You seem upset this morning. Is it because of Nia and master Zen?"

Allenz didn't answer that question.

Smiling, he calmed down Allenz a little. Then, tell me a little bit of Nia's past. Allenz heard the story. The story was exactly what Nia herself had told Zen. Anya also told Allenz a little not to ask or look for the Order that Nia had followed first, because it was considered a ban for the residents of the kingdom of Hearterra.

Allenz understood, and this made Allenz remember about Zen who was also an intel in the past. This made Allenz think. "Necessarily they are close." Allenz.

"You said something?"

"No, ma. Then I'll go first."

"certain."

Just finishing the bath, Zen noticed a mirror. He sees his face carefully. From the mirror image, he saw his former self.

As if moving, he was in a dark room. "Th-this..."

Before long some people came, bringing someone in whose head was covered with a sack. Standing, one of the men behind opened the sack, revealing the person being carried looking terrified.

One of the others approached and asked the person he was carrying.

Zen was surprised now that he had moved, he remembered this place. The residential area is narrow and slum, many people and children pass through this place. In some narrow alleys, intel people are cravings in their respective positions, some are in the car to prepare.

The middle Zen, seeing himself who used to disguise himself as a beggar with a sack filled with used bottles. As his old self walked, they saw their target. Zen gave the code to his partner. Two colleagues followed the target, following it unnoticed by the target.

His other comrades with cars he turned the other way to intercept their targets. Until the time near the road is enough for the car to pass, the colleague who brought the car stopped right in front of the target who just came out of the small alley. Quickly the two comrades who were following the target quickly restrained the person, then silenced the target. Opening the car door, they force the target into the car, then leave, without anyone knowing about the incident. The Zen also left from there.

Zen was still speechless with that memory spinning back. Until the moment he was silent, the edge of his shirt was pulled by someone. Seeing who it was, Zen found a 7-year-old girl. The girl looked confusedly at Zen.

"Dad? Why?'

Zen raised his eyebrows as the girl called him 'father'. Zen lowered his head to match his height with the girl. Seeing the girl, somehow the girl's face looks blurry and not clearly visible to Zen. They stared at each other, until Zen moved back.

Now that he is in the hospital, Zen's heart is scared, especially when he is in front of the mortuary. Shaking, Zen entered the room which had a silent and silent atmosphere.

In the room, for some reason only had two mattresses with two bodies on top of it covered with white cloth.

Walking inside, slowly, Zen saw this room. Either he wants to erase the memory that made him feel lost for the second time. Arriving in front of the two mattresses, he circled the k, until when in front of the head.

Slowly, he opened the two cloths that covered the faces of the two corpses. Zen became increasingly afraid to see the two corpses, a woman and a 7-year-old girl. It made him retreat in fear.

Until he regained consciousness, and returned to the bathroom, where Allenz looked at him confused. "You why? Is there a problem? I think you better rest."

Zen agreed to that, then left from there, Allenz saw Zen leaving and he muttered. "Zen's behavior is strange. Maybe it's just my feelings."
