A cold wind blew against the face of the ruby beaded youth who was now standing on the roof of the academy. One of her hands held the roof guardrail and one of her hands removed the hair covering her face.
It looks so sweet and charming. But his gaze immediately turned serious as he looked at the group of children walking around jokingly in the academy courtyard.
'No, he's not there.'
The young man, Zion sighed. What he was looking for was not found. The task that Mr. Rendrano gave him.
"Heah... Are there any other useful clues for Nero? You're gonna be great... Find it further..." Said Zion while leaning herself against the guardrail. His eyes closed while feeling the gust of wind that hit his face.
'When you need to say I'm great? Then when I don't get the right information like I came out of the abyss back then, you say I'm useless? What a cruel protest.' Nero. It was back to mind when trapped in the ravine where Avren's pet was at that time. It's so annoying to be so lamented by your own master. Though he has helped his master a lot since the beginning of reincarnation. Hix...
What power... He is just a legendary dragon who is trapped and asks for help in a little boy who has just been reincarnated into this world, who does not even know about the power he has.
"It's not so, but... I wonder who our enemy is this time. The leader of Ras Inimicus and his entire army were defeated. Who else will attack?"
Nero's speechless. There's point. But considering that in this world there was not only a Race of witches and dragons, it could have been. 'Maybe a demon or someone who wants revenge for the defeat of his army. Or...' Nero paused his speech. In the dragon's heart it chuckled.
"Or what?"
' or the ghost of the dead soldiers you slaughtered. They are not calm and unite forces for revenge on you, Zion~'
The wind blew making the feathers of Zion stand. I don't know why he got creeped out. "Oi!! Don't take nakutin napa!" Zion Protest. Remember that he is still afraid of ghosts. Although he had faced with spirit beings until he entered the dungeon, but the fear could not be eliminated easily.
Meanwhile, the dragon inside there just laughed out loud while rolling. For him, judging his master was a separate entertainment for him.
"Basic dragons suck!!"
"Talking to Nero?"
Zion was surprised and reflexively looked back. A young man with pure white hair with golden irises was leaning against the door near the stairs. He was completely unaware of the young man's presence there. Since when was he there?
"W-ah Zuka. You just surprise me. Since when are you there?" Ask Zion.
Zuka walked over to her brother. "Since. Seeing you talking to Nero, like you're talking to yourself. Those who don't know will think so."
Zion scratched the back of her head that was not itchy. It's true.. Zion usually speaks telepathically. People who don't know will be mistaken. Luckily, Zion had already told all her secrets to her brother. So he doesn't have to worry now.
"Hehe sorry. By the way, what are you doing here?"
Zuka walked up to the guardrail and leaned herself there. "About the task Mr. Rendrano gave you. Maybe I can help you with that. Yep... Considering that I also just came to this academy, so I have not been familiar with anyone else. Except for you, Avren and Hali of course." Clearly Zuka.
There's point. With the help of Zuka it might be faster to complete her task. Zion slightly recalls her talks with Mr. Rendrano at that time.
The flashback
"I got a report about the appearance of demons in the neighboring Kingdom Kingdom. They were not from the Inimicus race, but their abilities could not be underestimated. According to the information I got, the demon lord started to move and even more dangerously, he could change his form into an ordinary human and suppress his magic and aura. It certainly made it difficult for the knights and other witches to catch him." Rendrano.
Demons that possessed such abilities were actually quite rare. Although the demon race though, most of them could not change their form. Unless it's a top-tier demon. But that's still a little. But this time it was the demon lord he was about to face. So it seems natural to have such an ability.
"So, God wants me to lurk in the Kingdom to search for that demon and capture it?" Ask Zion to make sure.
Rendrano. "no need. Because the devil has come here."
Hearing his master's words, Zion rounded her eyes. What does it mean that the devil has come here? Did he voluntarily surrender? Ah no, that's not it of course.
"I mean Lord?"
"He disguised himself as one of the disciples in Star Magic Academy. His purpose is still unknown, but for sure, the safety of students in this school is threatened now."
"So, I have to investigate and find out about the demon in this school. But... If as a special trainer only, it would be difficult to investigate her. Because my training will be focused on Hero Class alone."
Rendrano smiled faintly at Zion's words. This is in line with what he thinks. Of course Rendrano had expected this.
"Then from that, you won't be a special coach anymore." Rendrano paused his remark making Zion frown her forehead. "You will also become one of the disciples in Star Magic Academy. Or just short, STAMY. "
"W-what should be God? Is it not another way?" It's not that Zion doesn't want to go to school there, but does this not add to the demon's suspicions?
"No. With you being a student at STAMY, you'll find it easier to keep an eye on her. Seek more information about his abilities and weaknesses. That'll make it easier for you to kill him later."
Flashback off
Given what they faced this time was not an easy opponent, moreover, their enemy this time mingled inside the school, of course Zion could not solve it by herself. He needs help. But... It seemed like the fewer people he was cooperating with would be better.
"Zion hello?" Zuka waved her hand in front of Zion's face making the young man wake up from his daydream. Again he is too focused with his own thoughts to forget what is around him.
"But this task is quite dangerous. We still don't know who the guy is and how high he's capable of."
"Then my abilities can help."
Zion. Zuka looks sweetly smiling at him. "You forget I can use my voice to control other creatures? I can control the creature as a whole including to listen and observe from afar."
"But not just a dying creature? "
Zuka smirked. "Make it that way. This happens to animals too. We'll just use insects."
Zion patted her forehead. All this time he thought Zuka was a good boy who would not bear to do violence to animals. But it turns out that his guess was wrong.
"You're cruel Zuka."
Zuka laughed crisply while scratching the back of her non-itchy head. "Ahaha I was just kidding Zion. But it's not impossible that I'll use it anyway... I will definitely help you!!"
Zion stared with a flat expression. He doubted if what Zuka said was just a joke.
"Given what we are facing this time around the demon race, it is likely that it will also provoke the arrival of the monsters in this Academy. Maybe it can be used too? By controlling the monster that the demon sent to attack the Academy, it would reduce the demon's own suspicion."
Zion and Zuka turned their eyes. Somehow since when, the red beaded youth with purplish hair stood behind the shadow of the building while leaning against the wall.
Either because Zion and Zuka were too busy chatting until they were unaware of the young man's presence, or was it because the young man who appeared suddenly arrived until they were unconscious?
"Alexes... You just startled me. Duh astonished.. From that day ngagetin mulu. Where did you come from?" Ask Zion.
Seeing the reaction of his best friend made Alex laugh. He then walked closer to the two friends. "Shadows. You know I'm a Vampire, besides I also have shadow magic, right? So it's easy for me to move around using shadows. The concept is almost the same as teleportation." Obviously Alex.
Zion nodded in understanding. "So you eavesdropped on our conversation. " The cetus.
Alex just laughed crisply, then embraced his best friend. "Sorrys... Not intentionally. That kind of job can't be done by one person, right? Let me and Zuka help you too Zion. Don't take it all by yourself. Don't forget you also have many friends you can count on."
Alex's words made Zion smile faintly. It does. This time it is better to accept their help. That'd be better.
"Well if so... Thank you, yeah."
Krieying!!
The bell rings indicating that lessons will begin soon. This is the first day for Zion as a student at STAMY. I don't know why it makes her a little nervous.
" The bell has rung. Hurry up to get to class." Said Alex.
Both are nodding. "Eh but you're alone?"
"I became a superintendent at this school. Of course my time is more relaxed~"
"More relaxed... Unless you find out your brother's still here now." Zion said as she glanced down, looking at Reon who was walking in the schoolyard.
Alex's fur stood up. The panic suddenly appeared. "That's a very diligent person anyway?! Okay I'll go first. Afraid of pites if caught. See you!" Alex quickly ran down the stairs before being caught by his sister.
