The heat was so intense in front of their faces. The twelve nurses in black gowns with white patterns on their necks tried to find people who could still be saved. Unfortunately, almost all the houses here had been destroyed by fire.
“Is there anyone else here?” a nurse shouted.
There was barely any sound to be heard other than the sound of fire slowly consumed the wooden buildings. Although it’s part of the Wallenstein District of Telhi City, the village is still too far from the downtown. The help had also not arrived because it had to go through quite dense jungle.
“Is someone here?” another nurse shouted again.
Despite risking their lives, these nurses were willing to do it just to save the remaining people from that horrific event. The smell of burning materials mixed with the smell of blood and corpses, all in this place.
“This is terrible,” a silver-haired nurse muttered.
Just armed with only minimal equipment and no weapons, these nurses tried to help anyone who is still alive. They didn't seem to care if there are still enemy witches ready to attack them at any time.
In the midst of the uncertainty, the sound of a crying baby was heard from the direction of two o'clock. The silver-haired nurse immediately approached the sound, followed by two nurses behind her.
“This is ...”
That's right. a year old baby was seen lying in front of them. While behind her was an adult woman who was crushed by building materials. There was also a blaze that began to devour everything around it.
The three nurses immediately tried to help them both. The silver-haired nurse immediately carried the baby, while the other two nurses tried to get the woman out from under the pile of the wood.
“M-My daughter is still alive, huh? Thank goodness,” the woman said haltingly.
“Hang in there, ma'am. We'll save you soon," the silver-haired nurse said.
As if she had given up, the woman just shook her head and answered with a soft voice.
“No. Just save my daugh-ter. My time will come soon.”
“What are you talking about, ma'am? We'll be right-”
One of the nurses encouraged her as she tried to get her out of the woodpile. But her words stopped when she saw something sad in front of her.
The adult woman's body was already in a very critical condition. Her left leg was broken, almost rotating 180 degrees from its original position. Not only that, its depth was also badly damaged. The fresh blood had soaked almost her entire body.
“Ma’am ...”
With such conditions, it seems natural that the adult woman had resigned herself to her fate and waited for her death to arrive. But the nurses thought otherwise. They continued to encouraged the woman and tried to get her out from that place, even though the flames were ready to devour them at any time.
Almost a minute passed and nothing changed in that critical condition. The mother still couldn't be removed, while the baby continued to struggle and cry. The adult woman then spoked again to the silver-haired nurse.
“P-please. P-please take care of my daughter. Take care of h-her.”
The silver-haired nurse just nodded her head without saying a word, because that was the purpose of their came here, to save and treat people who could still be saved. The mother continued her words.
“Her-name is, A-Alisa Garbareva.”
The mother mentioned her daughter’s name. But when she heard the name, the silver-haired nurse was immediately surprised. A name that seemed familiar to her.
“Alisa Garbareva? Wait, Garbareva? So you are-”
Before the nurse could finish spoke, a large tree beside the woman fell towards them.
“WATCH OUT!!”
BRUKK
The two nurses who were tried to save the mother immediately jumped back. But unfortunately the large tree trunk hit that adult woman. The flames grew bigger.
“MRS GARBAREVA!!” shouted the silver-haired nurse.
There was no more answer from her. That woman's voice was no longer heard.
“Mrs Garbareva ...”
“HUAAA!!”
The baby cried even louder, whether because of the sound that startled her, the increasingly scorching heat, or because her mother was no longer there. No one knew for sure.
Saw that, the nurse immediately hugged her tightly and left the place to found a safer place. The nurse's warm hug managed to calm the baby. She stopped crying.
“Mrs Garbareva, I will do as you wish. I will take care of this baby for you. May you rest in peace.”
The silver-haired nurse looked at the baby's face, then kissed her lovingly.
“Don’t worry, Alisa Garbareva. This Weiss Karny will always take care of you until you grow up. I promise to you and your mother.”

WOOF WOOF
A gray dog is seen chasing a six-year-old girl. She appears very scared.
“SISTER WEISS!! HELP ME!!”
The girl ran screaming the nurse's name. She was so panicked that she fell. The dog then jumped and tried to bite her.
“AAAAA ...”
Just half a meter away from reaching the girl, a piece of wood landed hard on the animal's head. The dog ran away because of it. The girl was saved.
She turned to the person who had managed to chase the dog away. It turned out to be another girl who was almost the same age as her, maybe a year older than her. The girl with longer hair stared at her with a cold gaze.
“Are you okay?” the girl asked.
With a face still looking scared, the girl couldn't answer her words. Not long after, a silver-haired nurse came over to the two of them.
“Alisa, Flo, are you okay?”
Saw the nurse who had arrived, Alisa immediately hugged her tightly while cried. It seemed like she was still scared by the incident.
“HUAAA!! SISTER WEISS!!”
“Come on, Alisa. It's okay. I'm here.”
Sister Weiss then invited them both back to the orphanage.
Alisa Garbareva, a girl who was saved by Sister Weiss now lived in an orphanage in the middle of the city with other survivor childrens. So does Flo, or her real name is Floria Fresilca. The difference is that she and three other childrens were saved through a different event on the eastern coast.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the orphanage. Sister Weiss treated the wound on Alisa's knee from the fell, while Flo was waited for her outside the room. Alisa seemed to wince in pain as the silver-haired nurse applied medicine with a tissue to her knee.
“Ah ..., that’s hurt.”
“It’s okay, Alisa. You’re a strong girl right? The wound will heal eventually,” Sister Weiss comforted her while treating her wound.
Flo just leaned against the wall while waited for them to leave the place.
Not long after, three boys came to her. They looked two to three years older than her. They looked at Flo with a cynical look.
“Hey, you’re that Vitanian girl named Floria, right?” one of them asked.
Flo who heard it just nodded without answering a word. Apparently it made one of them furious.
“Hey, answer me!!”
“Yes. I am Flo. Floria Fresilca,” she answered with a cold tone.
“Well, that’s it. If someone asks you a question, answer it,” said one of the boys.
Flo got up from her position and stood in front of them.
“By the way, what are you looking for me for?” she asked.
Arrogantly, one of the boys immediately answered with a loud tone.
“Huh, you’re waiting for Alisa, right? Why Vitanian girl like you acting sympathetic like that? You’d better get out from this city. Just go back to Vitania.”
“What do you mean? I live here too. Why should I leave?” Flo answered innocently.
Hearing that answer, another boy immediately became emotional and hurled words to that girl.
“Hey, you still haven’t realized it, Floria? It was a Vitanian like you who killed our family. When you become a magical girl, you’ll definitely hunt us down too, right?”
Flo just lowered her head silently heard it. Who knows what these people were thought. They thought she was a monster who would finish them off in the future.
The girl answered him back in the same tone.
“No. I will not leave this place. I am not a criminal like you think. Besides...”
Flo turned towards the open door, where Alisa was being cared for by Weiss Karny.
“I want to be with Alisa. Always with her.”
The girl's words apparently made one of them even angrier. He immediately approached Flo and intended to slap her.
“THAT'S BULLSHIT!! YOU DAMN VITANIAN GIRL!!”
His hand suddenly stopped when it almost hit the long-haired girl's cheek.
“What?”
***
The boy's slap aimed at Flo was prevented by the nurse. Weiss Karny who had just treated Alisa's wound held the boy's hand and glared at him.“Si-sister Weiss?”“What are you doing, Abraham? Slapping a girl, is this what we taught to you?”The two boys behind him looked panicked after saw the nurse's expression that was about to scold them. But it was different with the boy named Abraham. He rebelled against her instead.“But Sister Weiss, she is Vitanian. The ones who wiped out our family here. I will never be able to reconcile with her.”Abraham looks very angry at Flo, hating her background. The girl just listened to Abraham's words, unable to say anything. But Sister Weiss immediately advised him.“Listen to this, Abraham. Even though she is a Vitanian and you are a Karelian, we are still both Hamu Kamina, right, both Kamina humans?”“That’s ..., I ...”“We were all born in the Kingdom of Archipelahia, right? So why should we hate each other just because of different ethnics?”Abr
BOOMThe fireballs that burst in the sky hit various objects on the ground. Roads, gardens, and even people's houses were all hit by that and burned badly. The city sirens sounded. The peace and tranquility immediately turned into fear and panic.“THERE’S BEEN AN ATTACK!! THERE’S BEEN AN ATTACK!!”“HELP!! MY HOUSE IS BURNED!!”“My son, where is my son?”People screamed and scattered on the streets, ran here and there without any direction. Including the children in the orphanage. They screamed and cried saw the atmosphere that suddenly changed like a war. Everything was chaotic, the nurses were overwhelmed with handling them.Alisa and Floria were frozen in thatplace, only able to see and hear the panic behind the window.“What is, this?”Abraham and his two friends who were bought something at the food stall also did not escape the panic. They threw the food they had bought, the three of them immediately returned to the orphanage while ran to save themselves. But unfortunately, bad l
“NOOO!!”KRIIINNNGGGThe alarm sounded as a sign that morning had arrived. The light from the blue star Formalha that had just risen from the eastern horizon dazzled her eyes from the window. Alisa woke up from the terrible dream, and just realized that she was in her dorm room.“Oh, it’s morning already?” she said as she looked in the mirror and rubbed her eyes. Her hair looked messy.“It’s time for school.”Alisa rushed to clean herself and then had breakfast with the menu provided by the dormitory manager. Wearing a uniform consisting of a short-sleeved shirt and a short white skirt with a gray pattern, she rushed to school.Eight years after the horrific event, Alisa and other child survivors were moved to Kartovik. There they started a new life, including going to school. Alisa, now 14, attends Kartovik Girls High School, a large school that can accommodate more than a thousand students.Classes started at 8 am. The students rushed to their school building which was about 100 met
Alisa and Frenska read the message sent through Angke's ring. It turned out their guess was right. It was a mission message delivered to both of them.“An order to Alisa Garbareva from 2-F class and Frenska Albertovia from 2-F class to immediately gather in the school hall. Signed, Mrs. Rumia Firlidina.”One of the teachers had called them both to gather in the school hall. Therefore, they had to obey her order. The two of them then changed their pajamas and rushed to the hall.After arrived at the school hall, there were 6 female students who had gathered there, and 3 of them were their seniors from 3-E class who were known to be arrogant, namely Sophie Alkatiri and her two friends, Rinka Sukhova and Jouiria Valderlia. After saw the arrival of Alisa and Frenska, the three of them looked at them cynically, especially after the incident in this afternoon.“Tch ... why are those two kids here?” Sophie muttered in a low voice.Not long after, the sender of the message who was also their
The cold night wind blew her long hair. The graceful and cold face was clearly visible through the full moon. The woman just kept quiet, looking at Alisa Garbareva, who was confused after seeing her face. She really didn't expect to meet her old friend again after eight years of separation due to a tragedy.“Flo, what's wrong? What really happened?”That Vitanian girl stood facing her while leaving her sword lying on the ground.“Alisa. It's been a long time since we met, huh?”“But why? Why are you like this? What really happened to you?”Flo was silent for a moment before saying three words.“Despair, prosperity, justice.”A strong gust of wind interrupted their conversation. Alisa, who heard those three words, wondered what she meant by those words. Before she could question it, Floria spoke again.“At first we didn’t know what was out there because we were still children. But now we are adult enough to understand it. To understand the hidden veil of this kingdom.”“What do you mea
