The Reincarnated Ruler
Eps. 53
READ, LIKE AND COMMENT✨✨✨
We entered a building that seemed ancient and antique. Previously a middle-aged man let us in and chatted to melt the atmosphere.
“ Actually what are you looking for so far come here?”
“ We want to find Veronica fruit... Do you know where it is?”
“ Hah?! Veronica's Fruit? You actually found it before you came all the way here. I can only tell you the riddle of”
“ Hah? Riddle?”
“ That is a place where you do not feel doubt and do not feel you have to care about the words of others. A place where you only use instinct to get in there”
“ Hah? What kind of riddle is that? Why so convoluted?”
“ Hahaha... Basic young people today..”.
We've met this old man who knows. Mr Galileo. Don't know what he said. Very confusing and convoluted. Makes people confused. What exactly does his word mean?
We went back outside the building. Sitting under the bright Sun. There is a small waterfall in front of this building. We sat and pensively thought about Mr. Galileo's words.
Willy seemed to be thinking so hard that a lot of sweat was pouring down his forehead. Flowing to the cheek. Did he think about it seriously?
“ Willy? What are you thinking?”
“ Hah? I just thought tomorrow was our last day. And we still can't find Veronica's fruit. What are we gonna do, Raisa? I was so stupid to get us kicked out of Akademi”
“ Already... We still have one more day. We should be able to find the meaning of the puzzle given by Mr. Galileo”
“*Nodging head*”
We spent dinner with Mr. Galileo. I think Mr. Galileo is quite friendly. He also often goes out to get some fresh air.
And the closest distance he traveled was 5 km. Because how else. Around his house was a very scary place. Especially the Demon Swamp.
Even Mr. Galileo was almost wiped out by one of the monsters in there. I was pretty horrified to imagine it too. Just passing by would make people feel afraid.
Finished talking and having dinner together. Mr. Galileo gave us one room each. And let us stay one night.
The room he gave me was pretty clean. As always maintained and guarded. Does anyone occupy this room? Why don't I see anyone else here? Instead Willy's room was very dirty and dusty. I had to help her clean her room too.
Mr. Galileo felt guilty and apologized to Willy. And as his apology Willy was given mementos in the form of objects like this building. Very simila. Miniature!
I slept well in the room. On a bed that's not really mine. But I feel this mattress is very.
And the next morning Mr. Galileo was up and making breakfast. What I didn't think was. Willy who usually woke up preceded by the Sun was on standby next to Mr. Galileo.
They talked and made breakfast together. It's not just me who's surprised. Even Mr. Galileo was also initially surprised because Willy woke up early.
Then help Mr. Galileo clean the yard and the small waterfall. We do this to thank you for the food and the room. Mr. Galileo just smiled looking at the two of us.
We decided to leave after finishing the room we used. Mr. Galileo gave us some supplies and preparation for a few days.
Well. I don't think Mr. Galileo is as cold as the cold Master said.
If you think about it, he is the coldest. Hahaha.Maybe he is the coldest man in the world.
Eh? Waitaminute! Is he really the coldest guy?
“ Willy? You wait here, yes.. *run back to the building Mr. Galileo again*”
“ Hah?! What are you gonna do? *follow Raisa back*”
“ Willy! Do you know who Mr Galileo's son is?”
“ No... Why?”
“ That teacher is the son of Mr Galileo! He gave you that room because it's not been used by his son for a long time. And because he remembers his son when he sees you. Finally he gave me a keepsake so that maybe you can come back to visit him because he was lonely!”
“ Be... Really?”
We stopped in front of the gate of the building where we were staying, talking and joking at Mr. Galileo's House. But when we get back.Nil! There is no building. There was only a gate leading to the swamps and bushes.
This is getting unreasonable! This must have something to do with that cold Master. Veronica Fruit! Yep! The riddle! Mr. Galileo gave us a lead!
“ Willy.. It seems I know where Veronica's fruit is.. *towards Willy*”.
“ Really? Where?”
“ Where you pulled up the waterfall. You said you pulled that waterfall over with instinct, right! And I found a plant that was flowering. You said the flower would be a fruit in less than 10 days. It's the tenth day we're off that waterfall. I'm certain. That plant is a plant that produces Veronica Fruit!”
“ Why I didn't think of this..”.
“ Already... Our time is not much..”.
I used the Crystal to create a portal. Who has the goal of going to the Academy. Because if it went straight to the waterfall behind the academy then it would require greater strength.
‘Syush..’
Portal has been activated. Willy and I went into the portal. Instantly we were surprised when the first one we met was the cold Master. Makes us stare and stare.
It was already night at the academy at approximately 11pm. My body was severely drained of energy from using the portal which lasted for 6 days. Must be very far away. Less than 100 kilometers.
“ You guys failed to bring that fruit”
“ No! We have not failed! There's 1 hour left. We will prove that we can!”
“ Hmm... All right.. I give you 1 hour more. If you don't bring Veronica's fruit. Then you will be expelled from this Academy”
It didn't take long for Willy and I to run towards the academy waterfall. Willy brushed the waterfall with his instincts. Then we immediately looked for the fruit that determined our fate in the academy.
We searched for 20 minutes here. But the result is nil. The time given by Master has begun to thin. Willy started to move on.
I kept looking even though my energy was running out. My body is starting to weaken. In the blink of an eye, I seemed to have lost consciousness. And I got to a place I don't know where.
“ Raisa. I trust you. Whatever it is. I'll just give you a hint..”.
“ Ugh... Si... Who are you? *trying to speak despite stammering*”
Suddenly a series of events swirled in my brain. Like a replayed movie. I saw myself touching the soft leaves of the plant. Willy who was cool to see butterflies flying around.
It was beautiful and looked peaceful. I felt happy to see myself who seemed to exude an aura of happiness. And Willy who exuded his calm aura.
“ He is there when the atmosphere is calm and serene! Cool out! That aura! I know it is someone who has a calm aura can make the plant too-”
The figure of the woman present in my dream instantly disappeared in the blink of an eye. I woke up from a very confused dream. Willy looks very tired.
I tried to get up and try to channel the energy that made the calm atmosphere and aura dominate this place. Although a little difficult. But I keep trying.
I think my lips feel fishy. This is blood. It seems that not a few of my blood vessels have been broken. Then without me realizing there was healing energy flowing in my body…
Dessy's?
“Nona... Dessy will always help, Miss. Whatever happens..”
“ De... Ssy?”
My shoulders feel warm. Then I tried to get up and drain the aura of calm again. This time, with the help of Dessy. It was easier to channel that aura again.
Exactly 5 minutes before time runs out. I saw the plant I was looking for. Slowly I pick the fruit. At that moment the Veronica fruit was also shining. Then it entered my body.
“Aaakkhhh!!”
It was like burning a very hot fire. I'm not controlling myself. And fell unconscious. I could hear someone yelling and approaching me.
Ahh... This place again... What is this place exactly? Why can I go in here. And who exactly is the figure of the woman who is always present to help me?
“The fire element is adjusting itself to you. Because you're the dominant element of water, so are trying to unite them”
“ Why can I master the other elements too? Why would I master another element? And who exactly are you? Why do you always come to help me?”
“You're too early to know..”
I don't know how long I've been unconscious. But when I woke up there was Dessy, Xion and Willy beside me. They looked sad when I woke up.
“ Nonaaa... Hiks.. Dessy scared Miss why-napa...*hugging Raisa*”.
“ Raisa. You really worry me. Why not ask me to accompany you too?”
“ Willy?”
“ I'm sorry.. I'm so stupid... *subject head*”.
“ Go... I'm still the same... *try to smile*”.
I seem to be treated at the academy. Because the walls are still the same as in the dormitory. Dessy drove me back to the dorm. Xion returned to his class after I got to the front of the dorm. So did Willy.
Along the way Willy kept his head down and felt guilty for what happened to me. I'm actually fine. Just feeling a little tired.
“ Raisaaaa!!! Look at this!!! I made it for you, you know... You finally siumannn... You know how worried I am about you”.
There was a surprise from Selia. He didn't accompany me in the treatment room for preparing a surprise for me. I wonder why Selia wasn't in the treatment room.
“ Did you set this up?”
“ No! Dessy also helped..”.
“ You guys are so bothered like this. Is it not excessive?”
“ Well... We don't think excessive. Isn't that right, Dessy?”
“*Nodging head*”
The three of us sat at the dinner table. Talk and joke all night. And the next morning I woke up and immediately got ready for class and met the cold teacher.
I can't believe that when I got out of the dorm, there was Willy waiting outside. I was also very surprised to see his face that was always down and moody. Not as usual.
“ I'm sorry, Raisa.. Because of me you've been in the treatment room for days.. *talking while looking down*”.
“ Hmm.. Actually I have not forgiven you, anyway. If you want me to forgive you then you have to do something for me”.
“ Hah? What is it?”
Willy and I walked into that stuffy, lonely, boring classroom again. The cold teacher was not in the classroom.
“ You guys why just stand in front of the door?”
“ Hiii! *surprised half-dead*”
The cold teacher went into the classroom and sat down in his usual chair. We also sat in our seats. The atmosphere became tense and awkward.
“ Sir guru... We have failed to bring Veronica's Fruit to you. We deserve to be punished and expelled from this academy”
“ Whose word did you guys not manage to bring the fruit to me?”
“ Hah? You mean?”
“ The fruit has been fused with your body and soul, Raisa. Bring yourself into this class. It was the same in carrying the fruit. Therefore, I feel quite proud of you two”
I was quite astonished and strange with this cold master. Being congratulated by the teacher is like being proud, happy and a little hesitant. Because this feels scary.
The teacher who usually only reads books and gives us reading assignments. Finally congratulating us on successfully completing the mission he gave.
“ Oh yes, Mr... I want to ask... Do you know Mr Galileo?”
“*Seeing Raisa with a surprised face*”
“ Emh... Ma.. Sorry if I asked wrongly, Pak”
“ Did you meet that old man named Galileo? Did ya? Haeh. Maybe next time I'll visit there”
“ Who exactly is Mr Galileo, Sir?”
“ He is a very chatty, talkative and bossy old man. I was actually the one he raised to be his son. It seems like I haven't been there in a long time. Maybe he misses me a little. So show herself”
“ Oh yes.. He gave this to me as a memento. Maybe I should just give this to you *give me the item given by Mr. Galileo*”
“*Receive then observe while smiling gently*”
Well. I guess Mr. cold teacher is slightly reduced his legs. And after giving it away he gave us a mission to search for a rare item.
He said that he was confident we would be able to bring the item to the academy. The item we had to carry was the scales of the red snake that was the pet of Queen Silma.
The time he gave me was unlimited. It's up to us to be home in how many days. But he also gave us 1 bag each. The first is blue and the second is red.
We are still not allowed to open the bag. He also gave us a map. Like a 3-dimensional map. We just need to name the place and then a 3-dimensional map appears on the paper.
“ You guys be careful on the way. Because the trip this time will probably take more time and energy”
“ Yes..”
“ Can we bring friends?”
“ Hmm? If that's your request I'll grant it. You brought some friends to help you”
“ Good, Teacher..”.
