“Are you alright, Raine?” Vermeil worriedly asked Raine as soon as Raine and Raeyan stopped fighting.Vermeil opened a water bottle for Raine to drink while wiping Raine’s sweat with the towel in his other hand. Raine’s clothes are soaked with sweat and his expression is blank. He is currently lying on the ground while his chest heaves up and down as he catches his breath. It was obvious that Raine exerted a lot of effort this time when he fought against Raeyan.As for Raeyan – “How was it?” Raeyan asked as he turned to them after he saw that everyone was done with their pair battles. As for his appearance… His clothes are extremely disheveled and his expensive suit was even ripped in some areas showing how fierce his fight against Raine is.But, as to who won the battle between them –“It was a tie.” Yris spoke and secretly sighed in relief. Honestly, he is on Raine’s side in this fight.Not only because Raine is his best friend, and also not only because he would cheer on the underd
“FCK! Is he still my brother and not really the guardian of fire?!” Zedrick exclaimed in shock as they watched Raeyan and Vermeil face off.Luoie, Arlen, Raima, Seph, and even Yris and Raine were stunned as they watched Vermeil skillfully throw fire attacks one after another at Raeyan who kept blocking the fire so that he wouldn't be hit and set his clothes aflame or burn himself. Looking at Raeyan’s expression, it was like the situation when he was fighting against Raine earlier has repeated.Well, maybe it is more serious this time since Vermeil is using the power of fire. Even though Vermeil isn’t as skilled when fighting as Raine, Raine taught Vermeil how to fight. Vermeil is also very enthusiastic to learn and should have learned many skills from Raine. Not to mention that Vermeil has inherited Phyros’s memories of how to use the power of fire.So now, Raeyan is having a hard time when fighting Vermeil. This is more intense than when Raeyan and Raine fought! Before, because Raine
“This contract… this makes it for Phyros to lend Vermeil his power.” Lovis spoke after he checked Vermeil’s body. “And since it is voluntary, with Phyros also agreeing to it, then it will have no negative effect on your friend.” He told them. “Raine, since you trust me then I definitely will not break that trust, especially after you confirmed to me that you still trust me.” He said and looked at Raine. “When I sent back Phyros’s soul, I really sent it back to wherever it came from. But, I didn’t expect…” he looked at the now unconscious Vermeil.“You mean, it was Vermeil who initiated to contact the guardian of fire?” Arlen guessed.“Yes.” Lovis nodded. “I… really didn’t expect that this could be done…” he muttered.Silence fell upon them as they pondered over Vermeil’s case.“The guardian of fire… isn’t he an irascible person?” Luoie asked. “So, to have someone borrow his power… irascible people should be prideful, too. So, the guardian of fire shouldn’t be doing this, right?” he as
“For Rayven…” Lovis muttered as he tried to recall Rayven’s story. “As you already know, Rayven is the chief knight and is also the childhood friend of Alf.” He spoke. “This is because Rayven was born into a noble family. He was expected to be a businessman, but he chose to be a knight.” He said.“Why?” Raine asked.“Because he wanted to serve the people.” Lovis answered. “For Rayven, nobles aren’t higher than the commoners. Instead, everyone is equal in his eyes. So, being a knight is not any less a job. In fact, being a knight is a very honorable job!” he explained.Raine nodded in understanding. “Indeed, everyone was born equal.” He said.Lovis agreed. “That’s right. It is only the status in the society that changed.” He said. “This is due to everyone having different opportunities. So, luck was also a part of it.” He explained.Raine hummed in response and handed Lovis a glass of water.“Alright… where was I?” Lovis asked as he took a sip of water. “Alright. So Rayven… he chose to
Raeyan froze after he heard what Vira said. He can’t help but stare at her. “’he will understand later’?” he muttered as his brow raised. “Funny how you, his elder sister who raised him as well as his parents, could say these words!” he said and sarcastically smiled. “Can you even hear your own words?” he asked.Vira didn’t answer. She just lowered her head and avoided meeting Raeyan’s gaze.“Yes… he may understand, as he is a smart person.” Raeyan spoke. “But have you ever thought how he would feel?” he asked her. “Not only will he feel betrayed as this was kept secret from him, and not only will he be separated from his sister…” he took a deep breath to calm his anger. “But he will also not be able to return to his home!” he told her.Vira froze and she clenched her fists. She can’t say anything to rebut Raeyan’s words because Raeyan is right. Lovis is a smart person so he would understand why Vira would leave him here in this world. Lovis also already knows that Neid’s power has sc
Margin Academy, a few days later.“Damn it! They are now really here!” Arlen cursed as they looked at the portal in the lake forest that was glowing brightly.The portal’s light enveloped the entire Margin Academy.“Vira and Lovis weren’t found by the enemies that they are staying here because of Yris’s barrier surrounding the entire Margin Academy and the Bardeck residence.” Zedrick spoke. “But, that doesn’t mean that they weren’t suspicious of this place, and don’t have the means to go here and check it out.” He said and frowned.The others nodded in agreement as they tensely looked at the lake forest while the enemies slowly came out one by one.“It was really a large army!” Raima exclaimed.“And there are really other beings included in their army.” Seph said.“Fortunately, there are no classes today.” Luoie sighed in relief.Their expressions turned complicated when they heard what Luoie said. Not only because Luoie cared for their classes at this time, making them feel not know
The two people are not stupid and they know who is telling the truth and who is not. Compared to the guardian of the Gate’s brother, he is more trustworthy than those space ability users who always hide in the dark and have suspicious objectives.The guardian of the Gate betraying her friend, the princess, and the kingdom? And then attacking them? Then why was no one able to defeat her, who is on her lonesome, while they have many people on their side? And Rayven, the most loyal knight, to usurp the throne for his lover? Rayven is not stupid since not only it would be unfavorable for him and Vira to fight the guardians who even have two gods – Tet and Phyros, and three immortals – Theos, Hores, and Neid, Rayven would have a tainted reputation if he would ever usurp the throne and become the king. Thus, the people would lose their trust in him, and they would also rebel.Of course, Rayven is the most loyal person to the Elhasa Kingdom, and so is Vira. Thus, it is impossible for them to
“Oh my god… I think I won’t be able to stand anymore!” Raima exclaimed as Arlen and Seph helped him walk with each of his arms on their shoulders.Zedrick is carrying Luoie on his back, while Raine and Vermeil are arguing since Vermeil wanted to also carry Raine, but Raine wouldn’t agree.“I wish they would have the same energy as always.” Yris muttered and sighed as he watched Raine and Vermeil still argue.“You are right. They would need this level of energy for the upcoming battles.” Raeyan spoke.The battle against the enemies definitely won’t stop until either their group would be killed by them, or they will kill them. This is just a matter of who kills who first. And it has to be them who kills the other, and not them being killed.“What should we do now?” Yris asked Raeyan as they looked at Raine. “In just an hour, it will be his birthday.” He said. His expression is heavy.Even if Raine would awaken and it would be to their advantage since Raine will finally be ‘inheriting’ A
