The Hidden Existence

The Surprising Confession

After the break Arina went to the magic training room to see her training Dedi.

"Wind Elements - Wind Ball" Rapal Dedi

Seeing that magic, Arina was shocked and also surprised.

"Looks like you're still great, huh?" Ask Arina

"Ah, no. I'm still like I used to be. He once taught me that the fastest wind-ball magic is 3 seconds" Dedi replied

"3 seconds? Are you sure?" Ask Arina

"Just Darma to beat Ronald takes 3 seconds" Dedi replied

"really?" Ask Arina again

"Did you see Ronald's final match against Darma 5 years ago?" Ask Dedi

"Ah, sorry. I didn't see it at all" replied Arina

"Sadly, when the match was very crowded. I think it's like the biggest game in mainland Restafa" said Dedi

"You know everything, huh?" Ask Arina

"Not only know, I'm also a big fan of Darma, you know" replied Dedi

"What right?" Ask Arina again

"Yes, maybe a little bit" replied Dedi

"But are you sure you can master that technique?" Ask Arina

"I need a theory to master it" Dedi replied

"Then, the spirit" said Arina

"Well, how about we practice together?" Ask Dedi

Suddenly the school bell sounded indicating the break time was over.

"sorry. But, the break time is over. Maybe next time" replied Arina smiling

"Damn you the school bell" said Dedi annoyed

"Sorry, yeah. Then I go first" said Arina, leaving Dedi alone

"DAMN YOU SCHOOL BELL!!!" Said Dedi shouting loudly

The magic association office.

"So, how's the report?" Ask Ronald

"They reported that the monsters in the north had started to disappear" Tiara replied

"Oh, yeah. Make sure to keep a close eye on it" Ronald said

"Good" said Tiara

Not long after, Ronald stood up from his chair and walked out of the room.

"Where do you want to go, master?" Ask Tiara

"I want to get a drink" replied Ronald

"Then, let me. The master was silent in his chair" Tiara said

"No, no. But, I'd love to get out of this office and get some fresh air" Ronald said

"Then, I accompany you" said Tiara

"Thank you" Ronald said

When he got out of his office, many people and witches respected Ronald. Some even greeted him.

"You are very famous, master" said Tiara

"Honestly, I don't actually like this" Ronald said

"What do you mean?" Tiara asked in confusion

"Well, I don't like my life right now" Ronald replied

"I don't understand what you're saying" Tiara said

"Well, do you think other people would be happy if they got their wish in an unhealthy way?" Ask Ronald

"Well, that..." Tiara

"To be honest, I don't like people saying that I'm a winner. They said it was as if I had won the match. But the truth is not. I always thought about this the first time I got the title" Ronald said

"I agree with you too. But, did everyone in this office complain about that?" Ask Tiara

"That's.. They don't care" Ronald replied

"Absolutely. But, only one they believed in. That is, they put their hopes on you" Tiara said

Hearing that statement Ronald fell silent for a moment.

"Maybe you're right. It seems like I need to stop thinking about the past and keep thinking about the present" Ronald said

"Well so. This is The Master Academy I know" Tiara said

"Tiara..?" Ask Ronald

"What's wrong?" Ask Tiara

"Thank you. Thank you for everything" Ronald replied with a timid face

"Sama-sama" Tiara said with a smile

At night in the inn. Nia approached Aris who was in her room.

"Aris?" Nia asked while knocking on her bedroom door

"Yes, please come in" replied Aris

Nia opened the door to her room and she saw many things that were prepared for tomorrow.

"Is the preparation done?" Ask Nia

"It is time now" replied Aris

While looking around, Nia was glued to a small black pouch.

"What's that?" Nia asked as she pointed towards the black bag

"It's gold" answered Aris

"How many are there?" Ask Nia

"1 bag of 100 gold pieces" replied Aris

"100 pieces of gold? That's a lot of money. What's that money for?" Ask Nia again

"You know, I just remembered when we went to the bang Roy store. We haven't paid for the goods. Therefore, I will pay him and also money for his services for helping me to get back Yuli" replied Aris

"Are you going to give me 1 bag? Isn't it too much?" Ask Nia again

"I don't think this is much. Oh, aye. And also I still have 1 more bag for bang Ijas. Each one contained 100 pieces of gold" replied Aris

"Didn't that hurt you too much?" Ask Nia

"Losses? I think helping that person is necessary. But, I just feel something is lacking when someone helps me but I don't reply correctly" Aris replied

"You're really a good person" Nia said

"Ah, right. If you want, I still have 1 more bag for you" said Aris

"Have it, I don't need it" said Nia

"I beg you, take it" said Aris, pleading with a bag of gold

"Alright, I accept" said Nia feeling shy

"Thank you" Aris said with a smile

"I'm the one who should be grateful" Nia said, blushing her face

"Alright, you keep this for yourself" said Aris while giving the potion a bottle

"Have you kept it to yourself?" Ask Nia

"I've kept it" replied Aris

Not long after, the sound of the door being knocked.

"Excuse me, Aris?" Ask Bela who is knocking on the door

"Please enter" replied Aris

When he was about to open the door, Bela was shocked because there was already Nia in Aris' room.

"Ada, Nia?" Ask Bela

"What's wrong?" Ask Nia

"Evening is ready. Hurry down before the food gets cold" Replied Bela

"Alright, we'll be there soon" Nia said

"Yes, we will be done soon" said Aris

"In that case, I will wait for you below" Bela said

"May I ask you?" Ask Aris

"What's wrong?" Ask Nia

"What does Izo mean that you love Darma?" Ask Aris again

"Eh, yeah.. That" Nia said in a broken speech

"I'm curious" said Aris

"It seems like it can't be hidden anymore, yes" Nia said

"What does that mean?" Ask Aris

"Actually when I was in the magic association's office. I've loved Darma before he even got the title. When I want to talk to him, it always fails. Either because of duty or other obstacles" answered Nia

"I feel sorry for him. Do you still love him?" Ask Aris curiously

"Actually I'm still a bit hesitant for now. And actually from now on I like you" answered Nia

Hearing that spontaneously Aris was very surprised.

"Are you going to give me the answer now?" Nia asked as she approached Aris

Aris's heart immediately thumped very fast as Nia started to approach her body.

"How is this?" Aris asked in a panicked heart
