Everybody from Elemental was Standing in front of Amy’s Grave. It was near her husband's.
They were all wearing black cloths, paying respect to the deceased.
Freda was holding Claudius.
There faces were filled with sorrow.
And just then, a few people landed in front of Graveyard.
It was Master Endymonium, Kara and Jericho from Shadow Field.
They didn’t say anything. They just stood silent in front of the grave beside Elemental.
After standing for a while, mourning their death.
“Let’s head back.” Master Zenon said.
Everybody turned around and started heading back except for Seji and Reina stayed beside him and was waiting for him to turn around.
But, He looked at grave with a tear in his eye.
“I’m sorry.” Seji muttered.
“Take care of Claudius.” Seji heard a whisper.
“Huh?” He looked around it was only Reina standing beside him, others were standing outside the graveyard.
“What happen?” Reina asked.
He looked above and saw three floating orbs going above in sky.
The tear fell from his eye, and he said, “I will.”
Reina held his hand, “Let’s go home.”
“Mhm.” He replied and rubbed his eyes and started walking out of the graveyard.
Master Zenon and others were standing front of graveyard having a chat with Master Endymonium.
“So what exactly happened?”
“Well, let’s go to our guild house, we can discuss there.”
“Oh, sure.” Master Endymonium replied and went with them.
They all flew to Elemental Guild house.
After a while, They were at Elemental Guild house sitting on chairs Etc.
Sharon and Grim had returned to Quest, but others were still here.
“Will, like you to have something Master Endymonium?” Serina asked.
“Oh, no it's alright. Thank you. But I’d like to repeat the question.”
“Well, I did write you in letter what happened before but, yesterday Amy came here and said she's leaving. And we said our goodbyes, and she went to Freda to open portal for her. as for Murderer, According to what Seji told me, he was thinking of leaving through the boxes, but saw Amy and decided to strike...”
While Master Mentioned Seji, Jericho looked at Seji and thought, “That’s seji!?!”
“I see. Who was the killer? And what happened to him?”
“Necrosis Luzea. And he's taken care of permanently. He’s dead.” Master said.
“Who killed him?”
“Seji did."
"what the!? and he already have a kill count." Jericho thought.
“Ah, I see. So, what you are going to do with Claudius? You can’t keep him here, of course.”
“Yes, I have talked with Church Orphanage. They will take him in, I believe he should grow up properly there.” Master said.
“I see.”
“And all the wealth will be given to him when he's old enough.”
“That’s good.”
“I believe so too.”
“It's sickening that she's not with us anymore. But I wish for her son to grow properly.”
“Hmm.”
“Anyway, this is Jericho, he's also from an another world.”
“So that’s him.” Seji said to himself.
“Oh, I see. These standing, Seji, Reina and Freda, I guess you have met Freda already.”
“Nice to meet you, Sir. And hello Jericho.” Seji greeted.
“Nice to meet you.” Reina followed Seji.
“Ah, feelings are mutual. And Yes I did meet Freda. But Jericho, is looking for his brother.”
“Ah yes we were told.”
“What was your brother’s name?” Seji asked.
“Bruh.” Jericho replied.
“His real name.” Seji said.
“James.”
“If I hear anything I’ll let you know.” Seji replied.
“Thanks, man.”
“Well, you heard him, we will let you know if we see him. But, Master Endymonium have you heard about Bellal? The underworld god?”
“Underworld as in hell?”
“No, I mean the black market one.”
“Hmmm. I haven’t. But why?”
“Actually, it's complicated but, Reina's memories are locked down. And Bellal is supposed to have the antidote to it. We need to find him.”
“I’ll let you know if I find anything about him. But it's a memory lock down right?”
“There’s another memory core to be specific, and the previous one is locked.” Ella said.
“Ah, I see. That’s Bad. I’m not mental magic specialist, but my friend in the country of Panethlia might be helpful.
“They can?” Seji asked.
“I guess so, he's in Panethelia, but they measure magic with Menes Kingdom system. According to it, he's an Level 19, out of 50 levels of being a wizard or warrior or anything else. The lower the stronger. Level 0 is the strongest.”
“That’s very difficult to put in our terms. We just have D, C, B, A, S, SSS and Exceptional. So, they have clearly more diverse way of arranging.”
“Yes, our country's power system, let’s face it, is broken. They classify much better. But anyway keeping that aside, my friend might be able to help.”
“What does he do?” Seji asked.
“He’s a Mental Magic Specialist, Magic varies country to country, some have developed different kinds of Magic elements as well.”
“What’s that?” Master asked.
“I’m not sure, but I think it have to do something with mental state.”
“Amazing.” Master Zenon said.
“Indeed. Anyway, His name is Linber Kalsfeni, lives in the Thure Village. Just go to the Royal Capital there and you should be able to obtain a map.”
“Ahh, thank you for the suggestion, I’ll consider going..” Seji said
“Actually, Now that I’m free and might not get time later due to tournament preparations, can I get a paper and pen?” Masyer Endymoniom said.
“Sure.” Serina said and brought him pen and paper.
Endymonium took it and started writing a letter.
“What you might be writing for?”
“Well, he is my friend, and I do send him letters once or twice a month. But if you are leaving anytime soon, like in a day or so, the letter won’t make it, and he probably wouldn’t help. So in case you decide to go anytime soon, you can take this letter with you and show him. Also don’t forget to take money, because he will charge you some.”
“Ah I see.” Master said.
“Here’s the Stamp, Meow.” Kara said and brought a stamp out of her pocket.
“Thanks Kara.” Master Endymonium said and stamped his letter.
“Well there you go.” He said, handing the letter.
Seji took it.
“We will. Thank you, sir.”
“Master, Meow we should go now.” Kara said to Master Endymonium.
“Oh, I guess.” Master Endymonium said and stood up.
Jericho and Kara stood up as well.
“Thank you, Master Endymonium.” Master Zenon said.
“Please don’t mention it. We will take our leave now. Thank you for the kind hostility.”
“See you guys.” Jericho said while Kara just bowed, and they went outside and flew in air heading back to their Guild house.
“I’m going in my room.” Seji said and went upstairs.
“ Your eyes are just like mine.” The sentence what Luzea told him was echoing in his brain.
“What did he meant by that..” He said to himself and kept walking.
“Wait Seji.” Reina said and followed him.
They entered the room.
“Something wrong?” Reina asked.
“Your eyes are same as mine... he told me that. What did he mean..?”
“Don’t worry about a killer's word. He just wanted to mess with your brain.”
“He also said that he would have made me his subordinate if he didn't need to kill me.”
“You are just worrying too much, Seji.” Reina said as she walked closer to Seji.
Seji sat on the bed. He left the letter on bed.
“I might be but I’m not like him.. I don’t want to be like him, everyone's life matt-“ he said and then remembered something.
Flashbacks of the war, where he had killed countless people without feeling a thing inside his head or heart.
“What happened?” Reina asked as a tear fell from Seji's eyes.
“I killed people... and it didn’t bother me... up until just now...had I lost the feelings...?”
“Stop it.”
“But-"
Reina sat beside Seji and held his hand.
“If you did that all to save someone, it’s justifiable. They might have killed countless people too right? And there's difference between you and him. You did to save someone, unlike him who had no morality.”
“Mhm..”
“Pathetic.” Seji heard a whisper inside him.
“Where are you!?” Seji asked as he turned around.
“What happen?” Reina asked.
“Nothing.. it's just my ears..” Seji said and thought, “I keep hearing it...”
"And anyway, it's wonderful feeling, you know..."
"what is?"
"love, from the time you came to save me, even though I was unaware, what else could a girl ask for? a boy cares and will do anything to protect her. i think, i fell in love with you again... even though I don't remember anything from past, I can't help but fall for you." She said as she hugged him.
Seji got flustered.
"what happened? you are usually flirty? what's wrong now?"
"Oh, nothing. you just changed the mood too quick... I mean, I wouldn't let go off you that easily, coz you are mine."
"Makes me happy.." Reina said with a smile and let go of him.
“I wonder when we can return home.”
“Don’t worry we will.” She replied.
“Mhm.”
“Seji, come downstairs!” Master shouted.
“Looks like Master is calling us. Let’s Go down.”
“Yea. Let’s go.” Seji said and stood up. They went downstairs.
“Yes Master?”
“Me and Freda are going to hand Claudius to Orphanage. Want to tag along?”
“Oh sure. Come Rei.” Seji said.
“Mhm.”
“Let’s go then. Follow me.” Master said and flew in the sky.
After awhile they reached the Orphanage.
Master knocked on the door.
A priestess opened the door.
“Oh Hello. Are you Mother Rosell?”
“Yes, I am.”
“I’m Master Zenon from Elemental, and remember I contacted you guys for a child?”
“Ah yes. Whose child is this?”
“An Adventurer named, Amy Nexa, She just expired yesterday, and he have no where to go. So, I want you to take care of him.”
“Can I take a look at Child?”
“Yes. Freda may you?”
“Yes.” Freda said and handed Claudius to the lady.
“Oh, my. He's such a cute child. But, He will grow up strong for sure.” The priestess said and played with Claudius.
“We will take care of him. Though, we will let him choose what he wants to be and teach accordingly, and if he wants to be an adventurer, I should send him to you, right?”
“Yes. I hope to see him when he’s 13, at least, or anything he wants to be.”
“Isn’t that a little too young?” Seji asked.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
“Not really, he will be working as training adventurer.”
“Oh, I see.”
“I understand.” The priestess said.
“Alright then. We will be going then.” Master said.
“Wait, can I hold him for one last time?” Reina asked.
“For sure.” Master said.
“Here.” The priestess said and handed Claudius.
Reina smiled at Claudius to which he laughed.
“See you little Claudius.”
“You can keep coming to visit of course.” Priestess said.
“Yes, mam.”
“Let’s go then.” Master said and flew in air.
“Let’s go Rei.”
“You guys head back to Guild, I’ll go submit Claudius's wealth in a bank. So when he’s old enough he can access it all.”
“Understood Master.” Freda said, and they started flying towards Guild house.
After a while they reached Guild house.
“Oh, come have lunch you guys.” Serina said.
“Oh sure.”
“Where is Master?”
“He went to submit Claudius's wealth.” Freda said.
“Ahh. Go sit and have lunch till then.” Serina said.
“Mhm.” They went and sat on dining table beside everyone to have lunch.
“Do you guys want to go on a quest?” Alec asked.
“Maybe tomorrow.” Seji said.
“Oh, Okay then.” Mei said.
As they were eating just after a while Master came.
“Oh, you guys are eating. I submitted his wealth by the way.” Master said and sat to eat with them.
“That’s good to hear.” Serina said.
“Keeping that aside. None of criminals know about Bellal either Seji. It’s like he’s nothing just a rumor.”
“But he exists. And he have the key to Rei’s memories.”
“I can confirm he exists.” Kiriyo said.
“But even you don’t know where or who he is.” Seji said
“That’s the problem.” Kiriyo said
“If we get Rei's memories, I’m not sure if we will need to find him anymore.” Seji said.
“True that, but what if we find him, and he doesn’t have the antidote either.” Master said.
“I don’t know. There might be someone who has a way. Those memories mean a lot to me and her.” Seji said.
“Hmm I see. Well, how about you visit Endymonium's friend in Panethelia. It will take a day or two if you go by flying.”
“How far is it?”
“Probably more farther from Roskar City in Niuinaire.”
“That’s far.” Seji said.
“I can’t reach that far.” Freda said.
“You can probably teleport them to farthest you can, but then they would have to fly. And it could still take day.”
“It’s worth going though.” Mei said.
“Let’s go?” Alec asked.
“I guess, we can. Can we then?” Seji asked Master.
“Of course. You can leave tomorrow but be back within a week. You all need to prepare yourself for the tournament.”
“Understood.” Seji said, and everyone finished eating.
“Well, good luck you guys.” Ella said.
“Thanks.”
“Be fast, Actual training in Kinsho lasts for years, you will be barely able to grab anything in days.” Noriko said.
“We will try.” Reina said.
*knock-knock-knock.”
“Is this the Elemental guild?” a familiar voice came from the guild’s door.
“That voice...” Seji said.
“Is that?” Alec said.
“Yes it is.” Master said as he turned back. A 13-14 year old boy was standing.
“I’m here to be adventurer.”
“Oh, You look quite familiar.” Noriko said as she turned around.
Master got side and Seji got a clear picture of the boy.
“Are you Arkal?” Mei asked.
“Arkal!? That’s you?!” Seji asked.
“Oh Seji! You are really here.” Arkal said.
“Hey Arkal! Been awhile!” Mei said.
“How are you doing?!” Alec asked as he stood up.
“Hey Arkal.” Seji said and also stood up.
“Yes, been a long time! How are you doing??” Arkal asked with enthusiasm.
“We are fine, how about you?” Mei replied.
“I’m good too.”
“So, uh who is he again?” Master asked.
“Remember we went to Verona Village to hunt some Orcs?”
“Oh Yes, I do. So, You met him there. I see.
“Yep.” Master said.
“Are you related to the family of Elf? I mean the Chief of The Village?” Kiriyo asked.
“Oh...” Seji said.
But then suddenly, Seji and Mei remembered something. They remembered that Kiriyo was the one who killed Arkal's Grandfather and Grandmother.
Suddenly a guy came running in guild. He was wearing priest's outfit.
“ARKALLLLLLLLLL!!” He shouted.
“Mr Marq, oh no" Arkal said and hid behind Seji.
“Who are you?” Seji asked.
“I’m Marq, from the Church in the City Filvern.”
“Oh.”
“Where is Arkal? I know I saw him coming here.”
“Seji, don’t move.”
“Here.” Seji said and revealed Arkal.
“You Pipsqueak.” Marq said and pulled Arkal's cheek.
“Ouuuchh, sowie, Brother Marq.”
Marq Whispered in Arkal's ear, “Call me priest Marq in public.”
“I told you not to run right.” Marq said .
“Priest Marq, What calls you here?” Master asked.
“Actually, when the village was completely burnt, the young ones who had no parent were sent to us. So, We have been taking care of them since then, but Arkal, applied to be adventurer, when asked which guild he took your name, so, I’m here with his training application. Please accept him as a trainee adventurer.” Marq said and handed the application to Master Zenon.
“Thanks brother.” Arkal said.
“Priest Marq.”
“Yes, priest.” Arkal said with a grin.
“Don’t worry, Nobody is enough religious here to get mad him for calling you brother or by name.” Ella said.
“Ahh, I see..” Marq said awkwardly.
“Looks like you found a good friend.” Alec said
“I did. He taught me a lot.” Arkal said.
“That’s nice.” Seji said.
“Yep, now teach me Magic properly.” Arkal said.
“Did you Master what I told you to?” Seji asked.
“I did!”
“Well, I read his application, we accept him.” Master said and went to desk.
He took a stamp and stamped the paper.
“There.” Master said and handed back the paper.
“Oh thank you, Master. Well then I’ll head back immediately. Take care Arkal.” Marq said.
While they were talking, Mei went to Kiriyo and whispered in his ear, “He doesn’t know, don’t tell him. At least for now.”
“I understand.” Kiriyo replied.
“Take care, Brother! I’ll miss you, and don’t worry I’ll keep writing letters and visit you.” Arkal said.
“Of course. See you, Arkal. Be safe. I will miss you too, but it will be less shouting at the house. Oh, also, don’t ever forget what you were taught at school.”
“I won’t!” Arkal said.
“Good luck then. See you." Marq said and started walking outside.
“See you!” Arkal said and Marq flew in the air, heading back to his city.
“Nice to meet you everyone, I’m Arkal Carloe. I wish to be stronger than Seji.”
“We'll see that. But, Welcome to the guild.” Seji said.
“Welcome to the guild, Arkal.” Master said.
“Welcome.” Others welcomed Arkal.
“Thank you.” Arkal said.
“Let's sit.” Seji said, and they sat on the dining table.
“Well, you can start adventuring tomorrow Arkal.”
“Yes, sir.”
And then suddenly, three people landed in front of main door.
They were none other than, Egan, Ariel and Rune.
“Hey you guys!” Ariel said.
“What’s up?” Egan asked, but he had no enthusiasm on his face.
“Hey guys.” Rune said and came near them. Ariel followed him.
“Welcome back!” Everyone welcomed them.
“Oh, is he new member?” Egan asked.
“Hey Egan. He joined just now, a few minutes before you guys.” Freda said.
“Oh, Welcome new boy. Enjoy yourself.” Egan said.
“Nice to meet you all. I’m Arkal Carloe, I’ll be working as training ill starting today.”
“Oh, guys, why don’t you have seat?” Mei said.
“Oh, Nori you are here you didn’t go to quest?” Ariel asked.
“I was going to but then I thought why not take a break, it's been awhile since I have."
“That’s true. Anyway, how was the quest for you guys?”
“They were good.” Rune said.
“I’m going to my room. Wake me up for dinner.” Egan said.
“Got it Egan, please rest well.” Serina said.
“I’ll.” Egan said and went upstairs.
“Oh, Kiwari, how are you?” Ariel asked.
“I’m good how about you?”
“I’m good too, how about you, Kiriyo.”
“I’m good as well.” Kiriyo replied.
“Oh, how you guys have been?” Rune asked Seji, Mei, Alec and Reina.
“Been fine.” Mei replied with a little sorrow in her eyes.
“Something happened?”
“No, it’s nothing.” Mei said.
“How have you been?” Seji asked.
“Been great. Killed a lot of stuff. But nothing major happened.” Rune said.
“Ah I see...” Seji replied.
“Well, I’m going to take bath. See you guys later.” Rune said.
“I’m going to do the same, see you guys.”
“What!?! You guys take bath together!?” Arkal said in shock.
“What did you say? You little brat?” Ariel said.
“N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-nothing.” Arkal said being horrified.
“Oh, okay then!” Ariel said with a smile and went upstairs.
“Anyway, Let’s all return to works as well. I’m going to finish some works. Have two or three urgent quests, Serina check them and deploy them accordingly.”
“Yes, Master.”
“I’ll be back in an hour or so.” Master said and left the guild.
“Understood. Let me see the quests.” Serina said and stood up, she went to her desk and started checking for papers.
“Oh, Kiriyo and Kiwari, can you finish this quest? It's a hunt.”
“For sure.” Kiwari replied and stood up.
“Okay.” Kiriyo said and followed Kiwari, they went near Serina got the quest paper and headed to the destination.
While they were going, Sharon and Grim entered the guild.
“Hey guys, good morning!” Sharon said.
Everyone greeted them.
“Oh, Are you a newbie?” Grim asked.
“Yes, My name is Arkal. Nice to meet you.” Arkal said.
“Good to have you here boy, enjoy here.” Sharon said.
“Mhm, I will!”
“Can we have a quest too Serina?” Grim asked
“Ah, here it is, actually.” Serina said and handed the quest paper.
“Oh.” Grim said as he got scared that this might be another strong quest.
“Don’t worry it's just B class.” She said.
“Oh!” Grim said in joy.
“Yeah it's B class.” Sharon said as he got relived.
“We will be going then. See you everyone!” Grim said, and they left the guild.
Meanwhile, Master was standing in a shop. It was a shop filled with items,
It looked pretty old as well.
“Oh, Zenon! Welcome!” Laura the witch said.
“Hey, Laura, good morning.”
“G-g-good morning. What calls you here!?! Please have seat!!!” she said, and thought, “Godddddd, he's here!! I didn’t even use spirits to look out... I wasn’t readyyyyy"
“The body you were reconstructing, it’s not the murderer’s. The murderer was killed yesterday by my guildie.”
“Oh... So what to do with that body?”
“Keep reconstructing, it will help you practise, and we can return the body to their family."
“I will. Oh and, should I find some location tracking crystal? They will be appearing next year and this is last month of this year.” She said and then regretted asking, she thought, “Is he going to track his wife..?”
“That will be good.”
“Are you going to track your wife?”
“I've tried, they don’t work. They always blow up for some reason...”
“Oh!” she said in joy, as it means the person is unable to be located and is to be dead most likely.
“I mean oh, that means the spirit couldn’t find the person, and the person is dead...”
“I know that, but until I don’t see her body with my eyes I refuse to believe she's dead.”
“But there's no corpse finding crystal.. These work on souls, these souls try to find the person you told them. If they aren’t able to, they are still used and have done their work, but they blow up as a sign to no.”
“Ahh. I see.” Master said, he had a sorrow in his eyes.
“Hey Zenon. Why don’t you accept it.. You haven’t seen her in so long, why you want to...”
My daughter-in-law died of a disease.. it was more like a curse than disease, nobody knows what it was except that, her body color changed slowly, and she died.”
“That could be a curse...”
“Maybe, but they tried breaking curse as well, which didn’t work. Who knows what it was. But after that, my son couldn’t take it and killed himself. Leaving his young child to us. But then, one day Marina just went for a chore in market, and never came back. Not even her dead body was found.”
“I'm sorry.”
“It's Alright. My grandson has suffered a lot too. But, he got someone at his side, which relives me now, at this point, I’ll just prefer if I die peacefully.”
“Don’t say that. I’m always here to help.”
“Thanks Laura, but you should look for someone to marry to, it’s tough to be alone.”
Laura muttered, “jeez, I wanna marry you though.”
“Huh?”
“I mean, it’s alright. Don’t worry about me, I’ll live for long enough to marry someone, Hex magic increases life span.”
“Ah yea, just like mana pool.”
“Yes, in a way.”
Meanwhile, in guild house.
“That’s all things happened.” Serina said to Rune, Ariel and Egan sitting in the room.
“How are they now?” Rune asked.
“They are better. From what Master told me, Seji looked completely different when he was fighting the Murderer. In fact, the power wave was felt across the whole city.”
Egan’s eye was twitching, “I can’t control myself, I want to fight him so badly.”
“Don’t Egan. Master might be the first Void user, but Master has never lost control over his power, nor have he been cornered to fully use his power. And this is all according to him. I mean we our selves haven’t seen Master lose control or be at full potential.”
“That’s true. He have never shown his true power.” Ariel said.
“And handling guild is about leadership and strong fellow members, Master don’t need to be strong actually.”
“That’s true, as well.” Ariel said.
“In Dragon Kingdom you need to be strong. Or else you can’t be leader. And they still practice that.” Egan said.
“That still, sounds cool though.” Rune said.
“It’s not. If you expect growing up in Dragon kingdom happily , forget that, you can never have a proper childhood of fun there.” Egan said as he laid on the bed.
“Mhm.”
“Well anyway, take care you guys.” Serina said and left the room.
Nighttime, the same day.
Everyone had finished dinner and were in their rooms. Kiwari and Kiriyo also had returned from the quest.
Seji was in bed, and on the bed beside him was Arkal, and on other bed was Alec.
They were sleeping but Seji was awake.
“Mei took Reina to sleep with her. And Arkal and Alec were dropped on me. And they already slept.” He said and sighed.
He looked outside the window, imagining Amy and her family, “I hope you rest in peace..” he said and turned around.
“I guess, I’ll just have to force myself to sleep...” Seji said and closed his eyes and slept too.
Meanwhile, Kiriyo was alone in his room.
“How can I tell Arkal...” he said and remembered something important.
“I was supposed to recover the scroll, but had hid it near the river should I take him there and tell...”
“Or should I bring it here and tell... he won’t convey his true emotions in front of others... I’ll most likely die tomorrow, even though they did all to bring me here, he will try to kill me.. But he deserves justice don’t he..”
“Don’t be stupid, you can just give him scroll and keep it secret.” Kiriyo heard a voice from inside him. It was him having a conflict with himself.
“But, that way, It will depend on his emotions whether he decides to kill me or forgive me.”
“Never mind. I should sleep.” Kiriyo said and slept.
Meanwhile, Seji was having a dream.
He saw Golden fields of Wheat.
“Beautiful..” He said.
And then suddenly, just as he blinked his eye, he saw all the crops had been messed up. And blood was onto them.
“Wha...t...just happened.. “ He questioned himself as he looked around in the bloody red sky and the nearby lake which was also filled with blood. Everywhere he see was a dead body parts.
He tried running, and ran. But then he noticed how his cloths were torn and had blood onto them.
“Uff Huff huff.” He was breathing faster. Seji looked back and all the crops were bloody red. And dead bodies were rising. Luzea's body stood the most out to him.
Seji started running and this time he didn’t stop, but the dead bodies were still following him. Seji saw a tree near him. He ran to the tree and someone was sitting under the shade.
A person was sitting, except, he was made of black energy, he had no eyes. Just a smiling mouth. And the body looked like of a kid.
“Help me... *huff-uff* please. Help me, they are coming.”
“Who is coming?” The boy whispered.
“They!” Seji said as he looked behind.
The bodies were gone, the blood was gone, the crops were standing in golden color again, the sky was blue again.
“What the!?!” Seji said in shock and looked back.
The black figure was gone.
But he still heard a whisper. This time the whisper sounded of a much older thing, possibly same age as Seji.
The whisper said, “Stop being pathetic. Or we will die.”
“what!?” Seji said and looked around but saw no such figure.
“Where did you go?!” Seji said.
But just after a few while, his eyes opened.
“Good Morning.” Reina said as she was sitting on bed next to Seji.
“Eh, Rei. Good morning. But wasn’t Arkal sleeping here?”
“He was, they are all downstairs, but I wanted to wait for you, so I came here.”
“Ah, I see.”
“Something wrong? You were making weird faces while in sleep.”
“Nothing.”
“A nightmare?”
“I guess.. well, we have to go Panethelia too.”
“Mhm.”
“I’ll go take a quick bath. You can go downstairs if you want.”
“Oh, I’ll wait, don’t worry.”
“Okay then.” Seji said and went to take bath.
Reina stood and went near the window to look outside.
Meanwhile, Everyone sitting downstairs, having breakfast.
“Where are Seji and Reina?” Egan asked.
“Seji was sleeping, so Reina decided to wait for him to wake up.” Alec said.
“Oh.”
“You guys are going with them at Panethelia right?” Master asked Alec and Mei.
“Yes, Master.” Mei replied.
“Ahh, okay.”
“Oh, You guys are going to get the man for an antidote?”
“Yes, Rune.” Mei said.
“Ah.”
“That’s good.” Egan said.
“Anyway, Egan, Rune and Ariel, how are your preparations for Annual games?”
“I’m good to face them. Won’t lose like last time.”
“Well, Shadow Field have another person from Seji's world, and just like that, other guilds might have those people too. In fact, in the best case scenario, they have formed guild and would participate as well.”
“That could be true. It will be great if that’s the case actually!”
“What if they have found way to their homes and already gone.” Ella said.
Freda slammed her head onto table.
“Thanks for running it.” Freda said.
“We are just talking about scenarios, and hey it’s not that bad living with us.” Ella said.
“It’s not bad. In fact compared to my previous life this sure is better one.” Freda said.
“Then why you want to go back? Just stay here and enjoy.” Ella said.
“It's not bad idea, but... I can’t forget the place I was born at, my world is way more messed up than this one, but I loved it. Unlike many people I still liked it there. And I had a stable job too.”
“What about Seji?” Ella asked.
“He said he wants to return no matter what, and he said, he will take us with him. At least that’s what he told us.”
And just then Seji and Reina came downstairs.
“Oh take the name of a devil and devil comes.” Ella said.
“Good morning.” Seji said.
“Good morning everyone.” Reina said.
Everyone greeted them, and they settled onto the chairs to eat with everyone.
“What were you guys talking?” Seji asked.
“We were talking about your thoughts on returning home?” Freda said
“I’m only child at my home. And you bet my family loved me I can’t just forget them and live here for the time, they spent with me. Maybe if I can come and go into these world easily, It's fine. But if I have to choose one forever, it will be that one, probably.”
“Is family the only cause?” Ella asked.
“Yea. Both of the worlds have world’s downsides, our one have more though, but still it's where we were born. My life wasn’t the best but it wasn't one of the worst there either. But, I want to be with my family. I wonder how are they doing.” Seji said.
“Cheer up, they must be fine.” Ella said.
“How about you Reina?” Noriko asked.
“I don’t have recollection of my memories. But I’m think I would have made similar decision to Seji.” Reina said.
“Hmm.”
“Anyway, Master. I have a question.” Seji said.
“What is it?”
“You said Void users. don’t have healing magic but look here.” Seji said and showed his chest. There was nothing.
“What?”
“I used to have a scar here I had gotten previously, and not only that but when I fought with Luzea, I had a deeper scar. I know he slashed this. But it’s gone.”
“I have healing attribute, but it’s so less that almost to none. So, while Maele and I worked on this mana type, we declared there was no healing attribute present. As we couldn’t find any other Void users.”
“But, now I do.”
“Then that means it's just means you have healing attribute, quite a lot of them to heal the scars actually.”
“Are you not surprised?” Serina asked.
“Just a little. I never said that healing attribute was completely zero in me, it just varies from person to person and Seji have it. It’s nothing that of a shock. But, yes I’ll inform them to update Information about Void.”
“I see.” Seji said.
“We looked for Unknown types of mana in Galahaeim But no one had anything different like me or Seji. I’m guessing may be a Void user appears once 200 or 300 years. Or there are others in other nations who haven’t discovered, in fact, there could be other unknown mana types in other countries. Which we are not aware of."
“You don’t sound too enthusiastic about it Master.” Serina said with a laugh.
“I’m not really interested in Mana concepts or anything. But circumstances led me here.” Master said.
“Understandable.” Serina said.
“What about you Serina?” Mei asked.
“Oh me? I used to live with my family in a nearby town, but I wanted to be adventurer, so I joined here.”
“Oh, i see.”
Seji and Reina finished eating.
“Well, we should go then?” Seji asked.
“Ah yes, Serina bring the Galahaeim map, the one with details.”
“Here, I already brought it.” Serina said and placed the map.
“Ah yes. This is Likain town, that’s the farthest Freda can teleport you, it might be still some hours of journey from there.”
“I see.”
“I can do a bit further but it will be leaving u in nowhere.” Freda said.
“Just teleport them here.” Master said.
“But where lives the man again?” Seji asked.
“His name is Linber Kalsfeni, and he lives in the Thure Village.” Master said.
“You have the Letter Endymonium gave you right?”
“Yes I do.”
“Don’t forget to take it with you.”
“I’ll go get it right now.” Seji said and went upstairs.
“Are rest of you guys ready?” Master asked.
“Yes, got communication crystal already.” Mei said.
“Oh, wait I’ll be right here.” Alec said and ran upstairs.
As Alec was going upstairs Seji came out of the room.
“Where are you going?” Seji asked.
“Coming, a sec.” Alec said and went to his room.
Seji came downstairs.
“Here it is, the letter.” Seji said as he showed the letter.
And just then Alec came with Reina's katana in his hands.
“Actually we forgot to give you this.” Alec said.
“Oh, my bad I forgot as well.” Mei said.
“It's alright. I don’t know if we will need that.” Reina said.
“Don’t leave your weapons behind. Take them, who knows how wrong can things go fast.” Master said.
“That’s true. Looking back at my records things have always gone wrong.” Seji said.
“Don’t worry, it will be fine.” Rune said.
“Master can we take Arkal with us?” Seji asked.
“No, Seji.” Arkal replied.
“You don’t want to come?” Seji asked Arkal.
“Yes, you can but, I want him to have actual training, so, I’m sending him to another quest with someone else.”
“Ahh, I see.” Seji said.
“Well let’s go.” Freda said and opened the portal to Likain town.
“See you all then.” Alec said and they all crossed the portal.
“See you guys.” Seji said.
“Well, now they are gone, Kiriyo, are you free today?” Master asked.
“Yes, Master.” Kiriyo said.
“Are you willing to take Arkal with you?”
Freda came back from the portal and sat on the chair again.
“Sure.” Kiriyo said and thought, “This might be a good time.”
“I’m ready!” Arkal said.
“Alright then, this is the quest. A C class monster hunt.” Master said.
“Noted, Master.” Kiriyo said and stood up.
“In south of Galahaeim near some village, read it yourself.” Master said.
“Yes, Master.” Kiriyo said and took the quest paper.
“See you guys, good luck.” Kiwari said.
“See you all too. And Thank you, sister.” Kiriyo said.
“Oh, Thank you, mam.” Arkal said.
“Let’s go, Arkal.” Kiriyo said.
“Okay!!!” Arkal said in enthusiasm and they flew out.
Meanwhile, Seji and others were flying in air towards the Panethelia.
“The scenery is beautiful.” Reina said.
“It is indeed.” Mei said.
