Allenz went around looking for the book he thought he was reading, there he at least got some magic books for him to study. The library of the academy had three floors, and each floor had its own decorations, there was even a special room for accomplished children to gather.
Carrying three books to learn basic magic for him, Allenz left the second floor, here quite crowded, although there were some empty tables than on the first floor that even seemed to be full. He went to read in the corner of the room and found an empty table there.
He opened his first book, about basic magic. He also brought basic magic to the fire element, as it was one of the elemental magic he wanted to learn at the moment, considering he was already an expert in wind magic. Now, he will focus on the new magic, despite having to learn magic one by one.
Focusing his eyes on the writing from sheet to sheet, suddenly two people came. Two people with dark purplish hair, and yellow eyes like the sun. Of the two, the glasses girl in front of him, and the other was a boy, he asked Allenz for permission if they could have a table with him. "Can we sit here?"
"Of course, I'm not going to take that, please." Allenz.
The two men sat in front of Allenz, across from him, carrying their own books.
All three become silent, maybe others will consider them friends. In fact no, they were just people who had just met in the school library, and did not know each other, only three students who happened to want to read a book.
In the middle of reading, some of the students seemed a little noisy, it made Allenz's attention and the two people saw the source of the commotion. There were a number of teenagers, six people who stood up laughing, while looking at the book of a person who held the book, consisting of three students and three schoolgirls.
As they laughed, the library attendant came to the children, a woman about 50 years old, with pigtailed hair, slightly gray hair. The supervisor warned them not to be noisy, because it would disturb other students who were reading.
However, one of the students, advanced and instead snapped at the supervisor. The supervisor only looked with a flat gaze, for him this was something that he often encountered in the time of the new students. So, this was not the first time he had faced this kind of thing.
As a result this becomes a serious problem, the student is helped by his friends even like trying to corner the supervisor. This disturbed Allenz a little, he moved out of his chair, leaving the book he was reading.
The two people who were with him then tried to stop Allenz so that he did not get into trouble, but Allenz did not care about it, there were even some students who took action like Allenz. However, their actions come to a halt when Agata and the other student councils break them down. While the six students were brought in by Agata and colleagues, one of the student council apologized to the supervisor for the six students.
"This is what I hate when I have new students." Said the supervisor. Some of the students went to the supervisor, looking at the students like seniors who already understood the nature of the supervisor, they tried to calm the old woman down.
Allenz, who was silent at his place upon the arrival of the student council, decided to return to his seat and continue his previous reading.
The two people who were at one table with him, they slightly questioned Allenz's previous actions. For them it was too bad action, they thought Allenz could not possibly fight the student, because they must be from a distinguished family and have a high status.
Allenz raised one eyebrow, and retorted. "Huh?! Or at best if I want them to be so puffed up now maybe they can."
The two disciples looked at each other, and did not understand what Allenz meant. "you mean? You have a higher status than them?"
"Of course, but I'm not gonna carry my family name, I'm the only one involved." Allenz.
They get confused, so they ask Allenz's name. "If you know what your name is?"
Allenz introduced himself. "My name is Allenz Weller, adopted son of Arthur Ironion Hearterra and Anya Rwidda Wellerd."
Both of them were shocked, but they would not believe it.
"Hoi, you think, you say like that we'll believe it?!"
Allenz stared at the usual, he knew for sure they would not believe it, until Hans came. "Gosh, you're here, you're here. I've been looking everywhere for you, who are they?"
The two brothers were surprised when Hans came, they became nervous when prince Hearterra came.
Allenz replied. "They're just people who just happen to not get a table because it's full."
"I think you know each other. Then maybe you already know me. But I'm going to introduce myself to get to know each other. My name is Hans Victor Hearterra, the second son in the Hearterra royal family. And this man with you, Allenz Wellerd, adopted son of my uncle, Arthur Ironion Hearterra." Hans introduced himself and Allenz.
The two brothers were really surprised, that the fact Allenz was indeed the adopted son of Arthur.they immediately apologized to Allenz for their words.
Hans also read with them, Allenz and Hans also became acquainted with the twins. The oldest girl was Joanna Poeter and the younger brother was Josef Poeter.
Both are interested in art, especially musical instruments. That's why the two of them came here and will be taking additional classes in art classes.
In the end, they read together, and when the sun was in the middle of the day, they went back to the cafeteria to buy some drinks to refresh themselves. This was also because it was Hans who wanted to try one drink in the cafeteria. Allenz and the others just went there.
There they also meet Nayaka and Teresa, where Teresa complains a little that Nayaka has a high appetite like Hans.
The two girls also become acquainted with the Poeter brothers, they become close to Joanna. Although they had just met, they were already quite familiar. Allenz and Josef were just waiting for Hans to take food for him.
When the two were silent, Allenz asked a little about their background. Josef raised his eyebrows, hesitating enough to tell others this. Breathing out, he told me.
He told me about the families of those who live in the capital, even though they live in a city that many people say will be able to change their fate here. But their lives are not pleasant, their needs are always mediocre for them, their father is just a butcher and their mother helps. Sometimes they don't have time with their parents.
But, both of their parents were as much as possible to exist for them, and despite selling meat, their mother had plans to create a small restaurant, just a family-style restaurant. However, their income was not always enough for them to save.
A few days before the academy registration opened, their mother gave them some money to enter the academy. During this time he slightly left the money he collected from the income of the husband to enter his two children into the academy, for a time if both children graduated, for a time, his two children could get a decent job for themselves later.
Until they get into the academy and meet with Allenz in the library, and Allenz is also the first person willing to talk to them. Because some children who come from the capital sometimes stay away from them.
Allenz advises Josef to focus on their goals at the academy, and Allenz will also help them as much as possible.
At the same time, Hans returned with a plate of pierogi for him to eat. He sat back down with Allenz and Josef, and he was happy to offer them the food. Allenz took the pierogi, but for Josef, he seemed hesitant to take it.
"It's okay to make a meal that belongs to a prince." Josef.
Allenz and Hans were silent, it was enough to shock them. Is it because of the consequences of his life that once made him hesitate to eat the food given by someone who had a high standing from him?
Hans even laughed at Josef's behavior, "Oh, this pierogi is also not a fancy type, just ordinary food."
Josef seemed to have doubts. "But, am I entitled to eat it?"
Hans grabbed Josef's shoulder and said. "If you are offered something good, take it." Reveal it.
Josef's eyes became sparkling at Hans's words, he took the pierogi, and ate with them.
Nayaka was grateful to see the three teenagers close enough. "Thank God they're close."
On the other hand, Zen was walking with Iza, the woman took Zen around the school and introduced more about the academy to Zen. He also introduced Zen to other teachers.
Zen pretty much got a lot of new acquaintances, from teachers or also people who work here. Such as library supervisors, canteen guards, warehouse guards and so on.
Until Iza introduced Zen to a teacher who is quite influential in this academy, from a man with brown hair and neatly combed to the side, having a face that looks young, ranging from 28 years. Having a whisker and a thin beard, he was named Ludwik. He came from a Viscount-class noble family. Then, a woman named Klara, she's a woman with yellow hair and maybe Anya's age, which is 33. He has the rank of Earl.
Then, the latter, despite only teaching a year and a half, he already had quite a great influence. Princess Rose of Hearterra. The princess and the first child of the royal family, the woman gracefully introduced herself to Zen, while sticking her hand at Zen.
Zen also politely returned the greeting, crossing one hand across his chest, making the people there, including Rose himself surprised. As a result Zen retaliates like a soldier salute.
After getting to know the three people, Zen was invited back with Iza. He would have him given the documents regarding the students to Zen knowing them further.
"I can I know about all their parents' backgrounds?"
Iza looked at Zen confusedly, but she did not mind that. They returned to the office of Iza's room, where Iza could only provide some files from some students. For Zen it was enough and he took the file from Iza.
Zen asked about Rose. "What, may I ask about Princess Rose?"
Iza was silent, then replied. "Sure, about what?"
"Is he protected by the party something from the kingdom?"
Iza frowned. "Of course, he was guarded by the chosen knights of the kingdom, a special group named Kastria Merpati Hearterra. Led by someone named Willle, they were assigned to guard the royal family from afar, that's all I know."
Zen rubbed his chin, he thought hard. "Somehow, my instinct felt that someone was watching over Princess Rose, and after you explained the matter of the knight, it might just be the royal knights disguised to watch over the princess."
"Is that so? Your instincts are great too, and I hope it's just your gut feeling, Sir Zen." Iza.
Zen then asked himself to resign and leave from there, leaving Iza alone. After Zen's departure, Iza called his treasurer, the woman he kept with him. Asking to investigate about the person Zen meant.
The woman left, Iza turned around, steady on the windowpanes in the room. Big glass, from behind the glass he saw some children who were playing and gathering together. Iza muttering. "I won't let any intruders into this academy that I'm guarding." He said, he continued saying. "And... Anya thank you for recommending Sir Zen, and making him a teacher here."
Iza took off from the window, sat down on her desk, and took out two papers and a pen. He sent letters to two different people.
...****************...
At a place far from the capital, in the southernmost region of Hearterra, a village that seemed to have been badly damaged and destroyed.
Many dead villagers were lying in every place. Not only the residents, some soldiers also appeared dead, blood soaked the ground, fishy and pungent smell scattered everywhere.
From the other side of the village, there were a few people who numbered forty-plus, wearing clothes with greyish-green hoods, with yellow lines on the edges of their clothes. One of them carried an object like a glass skull the size of a tennis ball.
One of them asked one of his colleagues to collect the bodies of the residents. Some of them gathered the bodies, and they surrounded the pile, and burned and cast a spell together.
The corpses were like having a seizure while making a terrible sound. A black fog appeared plus the spirits of the dead bodies came out like glowing white smoke which then entered into the glass skull-shaped object earlier.
Whom they had each, by raising their hands, all the spirits went into the glass. After all the spirits managed to enter, all the glass was brightly lit in purple.
After the ritual process was completed, they slammed the glass until it broke, and allowed the spirits that had turned into energy to enter their bodies, strong winds blew here and there.
Making everyone there give off a terrifying aura, and black veins mixed with purple on their bodies.
They feel like they have a lot of power in them. Even until someone tried the result on a resident house, and was able to destroy the house into a small chunk.
One of them, coming at the person who had just destroyed the house earlier, he patted the person's shoulder. "Hows it? Have you become stronger?"
"Sure dad, I won't let you down again this time!" Said that person who was the son of the one who was pecking at his shoulder.
"Then prepare yourself, Borath." Her speech.
"Surely." Answer Borath.
Borath, who is now and his family are exiled to a remote village after receiving punishment. He and his family had to end up in this village, even all their possessions were confiscated, making them miserable in this village.
Until Borath's father asked the help of Ouroboros Order, an organization of assassins and a group of people who study black magic and use false methods. With his father and mother who were members of the order, they made the village their present place to be a gathering place for this group.
Killing all the natives and the soldiers, they could use the spirits of people to become a force for them and make their lifespan long. Like the name of their order, Ouroboros, a snake that bites its tail, symbolizing an eternal and infinite cycle.
Not far from there, the rebellious demons were looking for a place for them, after the eviction a year ago, now their number was only around twenty-three people, he said, while the rest do not want to participate in the plan to attack back the demon kingdom to get rid of Gregory.
Without them knowing, Gregory is long dead, plus some demons do not want to be exposed to further conflict, from fellow demons or humans and decide to create a new group and part with them. Now, only the current number remains, which previously amounted to about a hundred more people.
Until their journey from the east, they reached the south, in the coastal region of Hearterra. Near the village where Borath was.
At the time the group of the middle order made a large excavation for the remains of the corpses of the inhabitants. It took about five to six people to dig the big hole.
An older man, ordered his members better to use earth magic to make it easier for them. "You guys are so long, hurry up. Just use earth magic to open a quarry, you slow!"
Some people immediately followed the order, cast a spell, appeared a hole large enough. The bodies of the residents were thrown into the hole, all of them. After all the bodies were inserted, the hole containing the bodies was closed again by them. It takes about an hour and a half.
Until it seemed that their business was done, the chairman there ordered them to leave this village. Coinciding with that, the demons also met them.
Some members of the order directly protected their chief. The chief spoke of the demons who had just arrived at that place, because to their knowledge, the demons should be in their own territory, and would not disturb the territory of the human kingdom.
"You demons, think you can come again, after your defeat in the great war can come again?!" Said the chief loudly.
One of the demons who appeared to have an adult body, he said. "Huh?! Lose it?! You think we'd be that easy to give up back?!" Her speech. He considered the intention of the head of the order to be when they attacked the Rockfolt fortress and were unable to get the fort. Because the two parties are mistaken to make both sides start a great conflict.
The two sides heated up, and prepared with their own magic. The village will be a silent witness in two terrible events that have occurred at that place.
