The Ruler Of Night

Chap 38's. Presentiments

The hot sun that was right overhead made us feel tired, and decided to take a break.

Sitting on a mat, I and the others took out the food supplies we were carrying.

"Yuuta, you have to eat a lot to recover your energy" Frey said.

"Ahaha, I'm fine," I said.

"But the fight must have drained your energy" said Frey.

"Don't forget that our food supply is small, so we have to save it" Julian argued.

"He's right! after all I just have to reassemble the energy around here" I continued.

"Hmmm, alright but don't push yourself, Yuuta?" perspiration Frey.

"Don't worry" I assured him.

"But if the scroll is not there, where should we look?" ask Kana.

"You're right! I'm sure the scroll is there, but somehow we can't find it in Goa" Frey said.

"Maybe there's a prop that we don't know yet?" ask me.

"Well, there's no way this test is so easy" Julian said.

"All right! after we finish recovering our stamina, we'll rediscover that scroll right there!"

"Yes!" at once all of us.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest.

The coldness of the rushing waterfall flow, making the hot atmosphere during the day become fresh.

*Blurrr~

Oda who took off his clothes dive into the mouth, to catch fish with his spear.

"Hey! What are you guys doing?" shout Kirei.

"Catch a fish" said Grey.

"Stupid! Are you guys here to play around?" Upset Kirei.

"Come on, it's so much fun" Luke said.

As if his words were not heard, Kirei could only fall silent with a feeling of annoyance.

Meanwhile, Oda continued to dive to the bottom of the estuary to get the largest fish there.

And sure enough, before long a fish with a body size that was almost the same as himself passed in front of Oda.

Without a second thought, Oda immediately swam after the fish.

"Wind Strom!"

*Bhuuuuz~

A wind magic had been unleashed by Oda while he was right under the big fish.

*Blaaasshh~

Quickly, the fish crashed to the surface of the water.

Suddenly it made them all surprised, because the size of the fish was so large was crashing and soaring into the air.

"Ah, here we go!" luke shouted, with an arrow ready to be released.

"The water rush arrow!"

Luke unleashes water magic on the fish, causing it to stick to a nearby cliff wall.

"Whoah! It's great!" said a female student named Emi.

"Levy! Do you guys get the fish?" ask Oda who just came to the surface.

"Well! That's a very big fish loh" said Grey.

"of course! I found it on the inside of this estuary, haha" Oda said proudly.

"Oiy, it's dangerous to know!" emi Reprimand.

"Just calm down, any danger will not be able to defeat us! Haha," Oda said excitedly.

"Hey! Kids suck! We're here to look for the scroll, so I can quickly pass this test!" shout Kirei.

"Why are you guys playing?!" continued.

However, the four of them just fell silent while looking in wonder at Kirei who was upset.

"Heeeemh?" muttered Oda, Luke, Grey, and also Emi.

"Emh! After all we are close to the location of the scroll," Emi said after nodding her head.

"Let's relax a little bit, you look so tense Kirei" Luke said.

"We still have time until the day after tomorrow, so we can relax first here," continued Oda.

"Casual? Where do you think we are now?!" ask Kirei.

"Based on the village children! They just know how to have fun, they deserve to suck!" Upset Kirei, while walking away following the river.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Shouted Oda.

"I don't need you guys! I will search for the scroll myself" Kirei said without stopping his steps.

"Jeez, that's it" muttered Emi.

"Leave him alone" said Grey.

"All right! If you're in danger we'll help you!" yell Oda again.

As if not hearing, Kirei continued walking and ignored the group.

Meanwhile, the teachers of each class were watching and observing the process of passing the test.

"It looks like it's going to go well" Hanz said.

"I don't know I'm feeling a little uneasy," fretted Megelda

"We have marked the area that has been neutralized by the royal knights, so it is definitely safe" Kojiro said.

"Well, even though there are still demon monsters hanging around," he continued.

"Don't worry, this year's kids seem to have more potential than ever before" Stela said.

"But still, it's hard to get rid of this stuffy feeling" Megelda said.

"Megelda, trust them! like they believe in you as their guide" Ziro said.

A little surprised, Megelda seemed to re-conscious of what she should have done.

"Ah yes you are right, forgive me," said Megelda with a faint smile.

While glancing at Megelda, Ziro who was smiling also seemed to be thinking of something.

Time had passed noon, and all the movements of each group still seemed to be going smoothly.

On the other hand, Kirei was walking down the river in search of the scroll.

*Bhuufff!~

Suddenly it sounded like an explosion and a huge jet of water was visible from the direction of Oda and the others.

"Gosh, what are those boys doing?!" kirei.

*Bhuufff!!!~

The explosion of water that occurred once again, made Kirei very curious and finally rushed back at his group.

"Wind Drill!"

A vortex of wind had been released by Oda, who was then greeted by a larger water element magic and broke the attack.

Once again, Oda and his three friends could only avoid such a powerful attack by the creature.

*Bhuufff!!!~

Before long, Kirei had arrived back at the edge of the estuary where they rested.

"Hey! What are you guys doing? Basic kids Pa-"

Having not had time to finish his last word, Kirei was shocked by the appearance of a large creature.

"A, Kirei! You're finally back to help us" said Oda.

Oda and Luke, Grey, and Emi face a large and powerful salamander.

Realizing Kirei's existence, the Salamander immediately threw a burst of water at him.

"Fire Blasts!"

But quickly, Kirei destroyed the attack with his fire magic.

"How dare you attack me!" Kirei's annoyance that just arrived.

The Salamander has a large body, and is almost the same height as the trees around it.

The dark aura emanating from him, was enough to explain how powerful the creature was.
