THE LAST STAR'S

chapter 14's

ORCHIDS

I was one of the students at the Quardia mage school. Since I was a child, I have been training to be a mage. I'm actually a fire-type mage expert. I inherited my abilities from my father. My father was also a great mage. He is also a mage expert who serves Annita's daughter. Because the princess was too kind-hearted she freed my father and other mage experts to spend time with her family. They would only carry out tasks if the princess needed them.

Maybe that's why, ever since I was a kid, it was my dad who taught me how to practice mage. Until the moment I felt quite ready to go to mage school. Dad also took me to the Quardia mage school for a lot of reasons. In addition to his gratitude to the princess, he also sent me to train to be ready to bear my responsibilities as a royal mage expert.

Today as usual I went to school. Now I live in a boarding school. Even so I can still meet my family on holidays. At this school I was just repeating the lessons my father taught me. So no wonder I became the best student in the kingdom.

As the best student of the school, there are good things happening and there are also the opposite. Good things like a lot of kids respecting me. Maybe because they didn't dare to fight me. But I don't want to use this to oppress the weak. I sometimes even help them from other children's disorders.

For the worse, I always had a challenge from others who wanted to take my position as the first. Someone even talked about me behind my back. For example, today. Today I have to serve one of the slightly arrogant boys. Even though he belongs to the top ten of this school but because of his arrogance I managed to defeat him. It was Rona.

As we promised, I will meet my best friend after defeating this Rona. As soon as I finished defeating him I immediately went towards the forest of the Quardia kingdom. Today I will accompany him to train there. Because it's a day off we use it to practice and relax outside of school.

Airin is my best friend's name. She was the princess of Quardia. Although she would not become queen in the future, she was still queen of the kingdom of Quardia. She is the cousin of Princess Annita. Her mother and daughter Annita are sisters, they are only two years older than Annita's daughter. Airin is also a mage expert. It is a water type.

Once I got there he had trained first. I approached him too. He stopped his training and went to see me. He asked me about my match this time. I answered him with a bit of pride that I managed to beat him up again this time. And he just smiled laughing as if he had predicted it.

Suddenly something fell down. We approached him directly. We were surprised to find that the fallen man was a boy. I'm a little suspicious of him how he got here. Has he been watching us since. I took out my sword and told him to speak.

The boy explained that he was also practicing hanging from a tree. I laughed in my heart, this child is a monkey practicing hanging on a tree. After he explained everything it turned out that he could also play the sword. Out of curiosity I asked him to fight against me.

We finally competed. So that this match is fair I try not to bring out my magkeu ability. It turned out to be better than I thought. His speed and sword-playing ability exceeded mine. Just this time I saw a kid this great. I finally had to unleash my Mage ability. We faced again and I lost.

My heart immediately felt empty. I have not felt defeat for a long time. Airin helped me stand up. Then he told her the purpose of his arrival. He wanted me and Airin to help him get into our school. We just said that we could only bring him in to see the principal only for the next principal to determine.

from that moment every time I met him my heart was pounding. As if there was something interesting about him. Maybe because he was the first kid to beat me. Or maybe it's because he's the one who's paying attention to me. Just like when I lost he comforted me by saying that maybe I was exhausted because of that I lost. He also saw my match.

Today as usual I went to school. I'm in Airin class. This lesson as usual is boring. Even though I was so bored I tried to pay attention to him. I don't want my reputation as the best student to be smeared. The lesson here I've mastered with my father.

In the middle of the lesson I'd love to get out of bed. It is very difficult to find an excuse. Suddenly there was a call for me and Airin, he said we were waiting for someone. I just remembered that we had an appointment with someone. Then we asked for permission to leave the class.

We went to the school gate to meet the boy yesterday. It turns out he really came. We also came to him. After that we asked the security guard for permission to take him to meet the principal. After getting permission, we immediately went to the principal.

When we met the principal, it turned out that he could enter this school but there were conditions that he had to meet. For me it is a heavy condition. But he accepted it. I was worried about him but since it was his choice then I couldn't stop him. I can only pray for him.

After receiving these conditions he immediately went to implement these conditions. I actually want to be with him for a little longer. But he was in a hurry to leave. I also hope that he succeeds and can go to school here. Until we can be together.

Since then, I have never heard from him. I was a little worried about him. Is he okay. If not why he never called us again. There was a bit of regret in my heart for not stopping him that time. I've never felt this way before.

The lesson has begun, but I still do not focus on the lesson. From the time I parted with Shaka I never took lessons seriously. My mind is always full of him. Sometimes I feel guilty. Airin found out about my feelings she also comforted me while I was thinking about her.

In the middle of the lesson, I arrived and Airin was called the principal. We immediately headed to his room. When we got to the room we talked about Shaka. Instantly my heart was immediately excited when he turned out to have made it into this school. It turned out that he had never contacted us because he was recovering.

What's even happier is that you have a special duty to protect her. I gladly accept this task. Shaka will be attending school here tomorrow. After finishing talking with the principal we were allowed to return to our class. Along the street, Airin always teased me that I liked Shaka. Yet I always hid it by saying how could I the greatest fire mage fall in love with a nonmage child.
