The Last Whiteblood's

Tell Me to See You!

- ???

Retian came to meet the Dark Lord in his castle. The castle is located in the deepest valley in the world, guarded by the Trolls and Orcs.

The castle gate is wide open for Retian. He met one of the Trolls to report that he had reached the Dark Lord.

The troll nodded then ran into the castle. Retian followed from behind, he waited on the first floor. The castle has four floors, Retian will never dare to set foot on the second, third or fourth floors. Reportedly, the three floors are a place where the privacy of the Dark Lord should not be contested.

On the first floor, the floor is given a black color coated with brown carpet. There was a circular staircase connecting the first and second floors located on the edge. Blue flames flew here and there, tasked to illuminate the room and lastly there was a statue of the dead in the corners of the room.

A short while later, a person named Dark Lord appeared. He was wearing a black suit and black pants, had a white face, had a scar on the edge of his lips and had brown hair. His eyes were bright blue and he wore a ring on his ring finger.

"Master" Retian sat on his knees when he saw the person appear.

He came down from the second floor through the stairs. The sound of his shoes' footsteps rang out all over the corner of the first floor.

"You failed, huh?"

"I'm sorry, sir" Retian sat on his knees looking at the floor. He did not have the courage to look directly at the leader.

"Well, why did you fail?"

"That-that's.." Retian bit her lower lip. "Because of some. boy"

"Hm?"

Retian closed his eyes, ashamed of himself. The Dark Lord walked around him.

"Is there no other reason?"

Retian did not answer. Indeed there was no other reason, he was indeed completely defeated by a group of brats who had yet to graduate the academy.

"Then, how's that descent?"

"He was taken to Rabadar Kingdom"

"Oh, Rabadar, yes. Have you confirmed it?"

"Already, Master"

"good. Let's leave it for a while, I'll assign someone to watch over the offspring. You can go"

the Gyrawart Academy

The evenings at the academy were very lively this year, as they held a farewell party for the final year's disciples.

We go back in the morning, before the party. All the final year disciples were gathered in the hall to be announced for this final event for them.

Madam Varegha and Felim stood in their midst.

"Before we turn the topic over to tonight's event, I'll give you a speech. Congratulations, you will become knights after graduating from here. You have all proven yourself worthy as knights after undergoing such a tough test. Once again, congratulations" Felim said.

The entire student clapped. Felim glanced at Arion. "Congratulations" he said.

Arion nodded with a smile.

"good. For tonight's show, we're gonna have a dance as the highlight..."

Some of the male students cheered in disappointment. They don't want that of course.

"It's an academy tradition. You will pair up between a man and a woman. Look for your partner, no protests" Madam Varegha said.

"Then, at the event as well, there will be an announcement of the champion" he continued.

Back to night.

The academy is decorated by light. All the disciples from the first year to the end were present to the farewell event that took place in the hall.

It was decorated by ribbons and light. A large chandelier is located on the ceiling of the room, then there is a fountain made of magic of course. There is also a long table lined up on the edge of the hall as a place for food and drinks.

Arion has arrived. He was clad in a black suit and his hair was neatly tied, making him look handsome.

Daendra was beside him. He wears a red suit with a white cameja inside. He is as neat as Arion, making both of them a concern for the students there.

"Damn it, I think I want to get nauseous" Arion wants to go from there, but Daendra holds Arion's back coat collar.

"Don't try" said Daendra, cold.

"I can't do this!" arion.

"Calm down, just remember your training last afternoon" Daendra pulled Arion back to his side.

They both entered the hall. Not long after, Faesa came to them. The girl was clad in a fancy blue dress, her hair was smashed high and she looked like a palace girl, unlike any street fighter anymore.

"Hi, two handsome" said Faesa.

"Hai Faesa" replied Arion.

"Where's your companion?" ask Daendra.

"He's here" Faesa pulled Aciel from behind the curtain. He looks embarrassed and nervous.

"H-hai" said Aciel.

Then, the bell rang, signaling all the disciples gathered in the hall.

"We go first" Faesa took Aciel's arm, then left. Shortly after, the Daendra couple arrived.

"Remember your training" Daendra said before she left with her dance partner.

"All right" muttered Arion.

After all the students gathered, Felim stood on his podium to convey something.

"With the start of this event, it means that the students of the last year will have their last night here before returning to their homes. That way, the new knights have been reborn this year.

The first award to be mentioned is the best class. The Archer Class got third, the Assassin Class got second and the Swordman Class got first.

Then, proceed to the student who is a genius for the whole year. Third place is Faesa.

The girl could not believe it, while closing her mouth, she came forward. Arion clapped for him.

Luke is in second place.

"really?" Luke was shocked too.

And first place, there is Aciel as the greatest genius.

"Me?" He advanced forward with trembling legs.

And lastly, the student with the highest grade. Third place was taken by Daendra. He moved forward calmly.

Second place is Eden. The man was as usual with his flat, cold face.

First up is Arion. He went forward and stood in the middle of Daendra and Eden. This reminded him of the time he fought with Retian, back then they also cooperated against the Necromancer.

"This is our champion!" exclaim Felim. The entire student clapped. "Wait for what else? Let's start the party!"

Music began to be played. The whole crowd was dancing to the music.

Although nervous, Arion still did well. The couple barely knew that Arion looked nervous.

On the other hand, Faesa dominated the dance. Aciel, who was his dance partner, said nothing and just followed Faesa.

Felim added a sheen in the hall with his magic. Luke and Glenn were getting crazy, they were dancing and had acrobatics, even hit the head of Daendra.

"You're being rude!" Daendra pelted them with syrupy water.

Arion laughed looking at him, but he felt something was lacking. He looked around, but could not find it.

The party grew even more lively as the Instructors danced.

Different from the situation inside. Someone was sitting alone on the roof of the academy tower, the night breeze smashed into him, his hair was being blown back and forth, his golden eyes staring at the stars that were gracing the sky.

He picked up the cigar in his suit and set it on fire. He smokes there, alone and there are no distractions.

Maybe that's what he's enjoyed all this time. Silence is not always terrible, silence makes its connoisseurs dissolve in silent peace.

***

In the morning...

Arion and the others are already packing. They are scheduled to return home today.

Azio, the junior Arion who lives at home with him feels unwilling Arion to leave. Arion calms him down, saying that his friends will always be by his side and that he will get a new junior ready to help him at any time.

Azio calmed down and let Arion go. Arion and Daendra go to the terminal, there will be a group of horse carriages ready to pick them up.

"We're going home at last" Daendra said.

"Yes, being here for six years makes me forget about my own home" Arion replied.

"Hey. You have a point" Daendra nodded in agreement.

"What will we do after this?" ask Arion.

"I haven't thought about it. As Crown Prince, I will probably study the rule of law and politics, as well as the system of government" Daendra replied.

"Well, you're busy. I who is just as an ordinary Prince can only stay in place"

"Don't let it go, I'll keep you busy, because you're my sister" Daendra embraced Arion.

"Ah, no! I don't want to be busy"

"You are indeed not suitable as the King turns out" Daendra stared flatly at Arion. "But... What will you do next?"

Arion was silent for a moment. He thought about finding the relics of his clan. Upon hearing that a Whiteblood's blood was more precious than the blood of a dragon's descendant, he grew even more curious about his own clan.

Surely he did not say such a thing to Daendra. He still kept his identity a secret.

Holding a pendant necklace around his neck, he replied "I haven't had any plans so far"

They arrived at the terminal. The chariot had not yet arrived, they had to wait there.

"You left me!"

Faesa surprised the two.

"Calm down, we haven't left yet" Daendra said.

Then Eden and Aciel came. Arion saw that Aciel was very troubled by his belongings.

"You're troubled, can I help you?" ask Arion.

"No need, I can do it myself" answered Aciel.

Arion wanted to take Aciel's wand, but he thought back to that Energy Path. He pulled his hand back.

"Eden, where are you going after this?" ask Faesa.

"Oh, maybe I'll think before deciding something" replied Eden.

"Um. then, I will give you this" Eden gave a mirror to Eden. "This mirror allows us to continue to communicate" he continued.

"Thank you, I'll save it"

"Yes, it seems like we haven't decided anything yet" Faesa said.

"You're right. Maybe we can find him one day" Aciel stroked his own chin.

"Well, maybe."
