The Last Whiteblood's

Two Students

A dark blue-clothed child with a white stripe up his sleeve was running while tightly holding a sword. He was chasing something in a vast meadow field.

A doe ran from the boy's pursuit. With a strong groan, he jumped and then thrust his sword into the body of the deer. As it turned out, his sword missed and only hit the ground.

"What?!" said, surprised. As if he didn't think it was a failure.

"Basic stupid"

Another child ran through it mocking the child. It is slightly brown-skinned, has slightly long black hair and is slightly tall than the previous child.

"What did you say?!" He doesn't accept being 'stupid'.

The brown-skinned boy ran to focus his attention on the female deer in front of him.

"Qube Art - Water Snake"

The boy held his palm together. From both of his shoulders, came out hundreds of water snakes that were not large. They came out simultaneously and flew in the sky and headed towards the deer.

"I won't lose to you, Tanoe!"

The previous child soon followed and now ran beside the brown boy.

"Qube Art - Water Clone!"

He multiplied himself into four parts of his water element. The four parts ran first from him.

"Hmph! Adding four losers won't affect the outcome of anything, Eihar" led by the boy named Tanoe.

"Look at it!"

The four water clones soon caught up with the deer. They were about to catch, but the speed of the deer increased. They look for other ways by throwing themselves at each other. One clone in front throws the clone behind him and so on until the last clone.

In that way, the clone captured the body of the deer that was still running.

"Successful!" His original self screamed happily, yet too soon to be satisfied. The clone suddenly shattered into water.

"Well-!" He gaped at it. The water serpent from earlier in the air took over the hunting stage. They covered the deer's body until its movement stopped and fell to the ground.

"Simple and fast" Tanoe smiled obliquely. He immediately approached the deer.

"You're just lucky! If my clone hadn't been destroyed, I would have been the winner!"

Trimetra saw the two from a distance. The two brats were none other than his disciple son who was sent by the Grand Elder himself a while ago.

"How are they developing?"

Suddenly, the Grand Elder came to him. Trimetra immediately turned around and saluted the leader of his clan.

"They developed significantly" Trimetra replied.

"I'm glad you're their teacher. They are also happy to be your students. The three of you are making a relationship" said the Grand Elder.

"Yes. Being a teacher is a new experience for me. Moreover, teach those two who can't be compact"

"They're compact, you just have to wait"

Moments later, the two boys came up to the two of them and saluted simultaneously.

"Grand Elder's. Guru"

The Grand Elder developed a smile behind his thick mustache. "You train well, if you keep doing this, then you can become great knights"

"That's my goal!" cheer Eihar. Suddenly, his head was hit by Tanoe.

"It's not polite" said Tanoe, who folded her arms back to her chest. Eihar could only grumble while stroking his head.

These two Trimetra disciples both had water elements, just like his teacher. Both of them had been taught since being in an orphanage. Both of them spent their childhood years in orphanages.

They both lost their parents when they were babies. No one knows what their parents look like. Since growing up in an orphanage, the owner of the orphanage knew that both of his foster children had the same Qube. He took the initiative to train them.

One day, when the Grand Elder was taking an afternoon walk, he accidentally saw two boys fighting against each other for elemental strength. He became interested in seeing them and decided to watch them until the two boys were tired by themselves.

The Grand Elder apparently liked their abilities. He went to meet the owner of the orphanage who was very surprised to see the arrival of clan officials to his orphanage.

The Grand Elder questioned the identities of the two boys. After getting a satisfactory answer and conversing about their abilities, the Grand Elder was interested in making them disciples of the Trimetra.

And, arriving here, they officially became students of the Golden Boy, Trimetra.

"Your chords are good, Eihar. I hope that you can really achieve your goals" said the Grand Elder, supporting Eihar.

The Grand Elder turned to Trimetra. "What if you guys go out of town? To gain experience, I guess. That's good, isn't it?"

Hearing that, the eyes of these two boys became sparkling. Their spirit flames increased and smoldering throughout the body. But not for Trimetra. He smiled wryly, Trimetra lazily went out to take care of these two 12-year-old boys. But, he still could not refuse the Grand Elder.

"alright. We'll leave tomorrow morning"

***

"Our estimate of getting to Athinesh may be a few days away. The location was very far away" Kenneth said as he placed a map onto a table.

They were in an empty house that had been partially destroyed. Wh why? Because this is where the former Goblin attackers were. This small town was empty, abandoned a few years ago.

Kenneth sat on a rickety wooden chair, resting both hands on his thighs and looking at Arion with a deep frown.

"Do we use manual methods?" ask Kenneth.

"That's the only way, inevitably. The position of the kingdom is across the continent" replied Arion. He scratched his neck and looked at the map.

"If we have teleportation capability, it will cut our travel time" Kenneth said.

"Alright, Ken. Taking care of your things, we're leaving now" when Arion was just standing, he heard the sound of the horse tread from outside, suddenly he became a statue and told Kenneth to be quiet.

He stepped out slowly while covering his head. He peeked, there was no one there. However, when his gaze turned to the other side of the house, he saw a horse without a rider there.

Arion walked over to the animal, but the sound of a woman's cry stopped his steps and moved him.

"Stop there, sir"

The sound came from behind him. A slim yet strong and tall woman, white and long-haired who was tied to a horse. He wears a mask and wears an officer's uniform. Slowly Arion's hand held the algae of his sword located beside his waist.

"Reverse, Sir. I want to ask you something" said the woman. "And take your hand from the algae of your sword"

Arion's eyes widened, he was shocked because the woman knew his movements. According to Arion, he turned around slowly.

"I-i"

The woman wanted to approach Arion, but she felt that there was someone else. Suddenly, he disappears from Arion's sight, putting him on standby.

"High!" inner Arion, he immediately looked up, looking at the roof of the house they occupied before. There was Kenneth whose right arm was being twisted by the woman.

"How did he get there? Ah, I know he used Flicker" Arion thought.

The woman and Kenneth disappeared there and appeared in front of Arion. He pointed his dagger beside Kenneth's neck.

"I'm just here to ask, if you're acting against me, I won't hesitate to send you to jail" he said, coldly.

"Say, is there anything else besides you?"

"No, just the two of us. Please let her go" Arion's pinta. The woman snorted softly and pushed Kenneth to Arion.

"Damn, he's strong. I didn't think he knew my place" Kenneth said.

"What do you want to ask?" Arion asked directly. He did not want to mince words with this security guard in front of him. He considered the woman to be very strong and quite troublesome.

The officer took out a piece of poster and showed it to Arion. "Have you seen this guy?"

Arion and Kenneth looked at it closely.

"Mr.." Arion looked at the poster for quite a while. "I think.. Ever, but where?"

"Who is he?" ask Kenneth.

"He's a fugitive, his name's Brian Blackclaws. I'm hunting him right now"

Suddenly, Arion remembered something. "I know! He met me once at the port of Argenhille. I talked to him and..." Arion stopped his words.

"And what?" the woman looked at him in wonder, and so did Kenneth.

"And he's my uncle's friend.."

"Your friend's uncle? W-who?" The woman asked to be sure.

Then, Kenneth charged straight at him. "We're sure we don't have anything to do with him, we met him in Argenhille this time too, but it's been a while"

The officer understood. "Alright, thanks for the info" he said. He stepped onto his horse and then rode on it.

"If you ever see Brian again, report to the nearest security post. He's very dangerous"

"We understand very well!" answer Kenneth.

"Good" after that, he darted from there leaving the two young men in the dead city.

Kenneth breathed a sigh of relief as the officer left, Arion looked at him in surprise. "You why?"

"I'm glad he's gone"

"Why?"

"I'm sure I've seen that woman. I tried to remember it and I succeeded. He was the Captain of the Security Division in Windnemus City. They referred to her as the Commander-in-Chief because she was notoriously strong and very fast. Her name is Alice Leinheart"

"Then?" Arion still doesn't understand.

Kenneth hits Arion on the head because his friend's brain is upset that he can't catch what he's saying.

"If he stays here, he'll recognize you! You're also an international fugitive, just like this Brian!" kenneth said, furious.

"Yes, now that there's nothing to worry about anymore, we better get ready to hurry" Arion stepped inside the house first.

While preparing his belongings, he accidentally saw his magic mirror. He took the mirror and tried to communicate with someone there.

"Eden, are you there?"
