The Master Of Elements

ME 15 Farewell Greetings (3)

In front of their house was already Albert and the Head of the Academy waiting for them. The Head of the Academy was still in his shabby clothes. It seems that the man still intends to wear his disguise now.

From the talk he heard, Matthew learned that the appearance of the Head of the Academy was one of his disguises. Matthew heard that the Head of the Academy spent nine months of the year on his odyssey under various disguises. Until now, Matthew did not know the true face of the Head of the Academy.

While Albert, this time he looked different than usual. A silver armor covered most of Albert's body. The sword that Matthew had seen all this time was on Albert's waist.

Faint lines are seen in some parts of the armor. Matthew believes it is a rune to increase the durability of the armor worn by Albert.

On Albert's left chest is seen a picture of a mustard that Matthew does not know what kind of monster it is. The monster was four-legged with claws like bird claws. The tail of the monster was like the tail of a slithering animal. The head of the monster was like the head of a fowl. And again the monster has wings.

Matthew believes the image is a symbol that indicates the identity of the user. Matthew himself did not know whether it was a symbol for the knights of the kingdom of Frantico, the kingdom where Albert came from, or a symbol of the Dawnson family, his father's family of origin.

The existence of the symbol gives a different aura to the armor worn by Albert. The armor that Albert wore all this time was just a suit of armor with runes without any additional symbols. Matthew believes the different aura was caused by the symbol.

Now Matthew also realized that Elisha was dressed differently than usual. He wears a long robe. The robe was green with gold accents in some parts. Matthew could also see a symbol similar to the one Albert had on the left chest of the robe Elisha was wearing.

Now Matthew knows that the symbol is not a symbol of the family or the kingdom. The symbol was definitely a symbol of the Andradius Academy. Matthew made a small note in his heart that he had to find information about the monster that became the symbol of the academy.

“Are you guys ready?” Ask the Head of Academy.

“They are ready.” replied Elisa.

Albert approached his two children. “I'm sure your mother has given you a lot of advice. So I won't talk much. I just want you to make the most of your time. You guys don't turn yourself around just you have a lot of elements.”

“We do not know if after this you will be accepted as students of the academy. So don't respond to others if it's not important. Take your time to practice so you can really become a student of the academy.”

“You should keep yourself away from people's attention. You must be humble. Don't draw the attention of others for the time being. The most important thing for you right now is to strengthen yourself. There will be a time for you to show everyone all your abilities. But not for now.” Albert gave advice to his three children.

“We understand all that dad.” Answer Matthew. Matthew looked at his father with a pretty serious look.

“Dad should also take care of himself. If this matter is over, you should see us soon. We'll be waiting for you at the academy. We promise, we will be much stronger in our next meeting.”

Albert nodded his head, quite satisfied with the response given by Matthew. “Good. That's my son. You guys should stay excited.” Albert turned his gaze toward Elisha. “Are you ready, baby?” Ask Albert.

“Good. Our Academy head will leave first. You'll know when the time is right to leave here.” Said Albert.

“Of course. You guys need to stay careful. Even though you have the possibility to win big enough, you should not let your guard down. Do not underestimate the enemy even if they look weaker. A cornered chicken can turn into an eagle. So be careful.” Advice to the Head of Academy.

“Yes we understand it's the Head of Academy. We're just planning on taking them as far away from here as possible. We have absolutely no intention of fighting at the risk of life.” Obviously Elisha.

“Good then. Once you manage to divert all the enemies, you better escape. An hour after you leave I'll be gone. I only need twenty minutes. After that you can retreat from the battle.”

“Good.”

Albert took out something from the ring he had in his hand. Seeing that, Matthew was not too surprised. He had expected that there would be other objects that had rooms in them.

Maybe a ring, a bracelet or even a necklace. Matthew believes his pocket of space is the lowest level of space-containing objects. Albert's ring certainly had more room than his pocket.

The item Albert took from his pocket was a wooden doll. The three wooden puppets had the same posture as Matthew and his two younger siblings. Even the three puppets also had the same hair as the three twin brothers.

The clothes that the doll wore were the clothes that Matthew and his two sisters wore yesterday. Maybe with that shirt, the smell from the body of the three would be quite strong. It could be that the enemy has someone or their pet monster who is good at smelling, right?

A robe was also worn to the three dolls. The cloak was added to cover some of the less convincing parts. Like the part of the face that is very visible that it is the face of an inanimate object. There is no sign of life when you see that face.

Now Matthew knows where his parents' confidence comes from when they can confidently distract people from the organization. By running away with the three dolls, Matthew believes the enemy can be fooled. Matthew believes they think that Albert and Elisha escaped along with their three children.

“You guys really prepared everything apparently.” Said the Head of the Academy while nodding his head. “Alright go.”

“Dragon yourself.” “Be careful Dad, Mom.” Matthew and his two younger siblings said at the same time before Albert and Elisha disappeared behind the gates of their home.

The courtyard was silent as the couple left. Matthew and his two younger siblings were still staring fixedly at the closed gate. They remember the advice of their parents. They use their time to strengthen themselves.

If they were stronger, wouldn't they be unafraid of the organization right? If their families had more power than that organization, then they would not need to be separated like this. Matthew and his two sisters did not need to evacuate as they are today.
