Maple High School Academy Hidden Year 1
The Vision from the Sky - Nightmare

Nightmare

THIS MORNING SHAL had a one-on-one conversation with Valfred. He wanted the enmity between Valfred and Amara to stop immediately. Instead of chasing after Elle, she better make up with Amara. Although his werewolf friend was indeed so much cooler now, it did not mean Elle would be immediately attracted to him. I think the girl prefers to look at books.

Valfred was angry and felt Shalima was too meddling. Instead of clearing things up, Shal turned Valfred against him as well. Black smoke, punishment, sneers, nightmares, and now additional enemies. Why does trouble come?

Ever since the black smoke appeared, Shal had been several strange dreams. His dream felt real to the point that Shal still remembered the dream upon waking. There was a dream of him flying through the clouds, then falling free. Last night he had a dream of the sons of the dragons flying over a rocky field. They breathed fire into each other until finally the breath of fire was exhaled towards him. His life was tragic, even to the point of dreaming. Therefore, the quality of sleep decreases.

“I wanted to give you ointment, but I don't think it's necessary.” The sound of Amara's soft voice shocked Shal. Amara stood next to her while holding an ointment with a picture of a gorgeous moon rabbit in its wrapper. “You sleep less like anything, your face is still healthy and glowing. Self-glowing is a self-healing side effect, apparently.”

Shal doesn't care. He took the ointment and hugged Amara tightly. Since the fight with Valfred, Amara never again showed such sweet attention.

“Can't you make up with Valfred?” shal asked after he finished hugging Amara.

“Can, anyway,” replied Amara casually, “Let's-later, if I can make peace with his mind at that time.”

“Think what?”

“She thought I would be a virgin for life because no one would want to be with a haughty Elf like me!” Amara massaged her temple. He still could not figure out why such a rough thing could be thought of by the gentle and kind Valfred. The mind of a creature is unpredictable.

“I'll hit the edge of his neck later!” furious Shalima.

Amara did not want to talk about Valfred anymore, so she invited Shalima to return to the dormitory while chatting. While recounting one of his dreams, Shalima's netra was already locked onto the figure of the man seen in the headmaster's room window. Shal's eyes were indeed very prime to the point that even such a small face remained familiar to him. Wait, is this really about the eyes or the heart?

 “I don't like Thann.” Amara's words immediately made Shal grimace. Amara is indeed the most good at reading minds, especially minds that are wandering and not aware.

After the black smoke incident, Thann Iziah's name was written on the list of first-class students. He took the same class as the first year student and was already proficient in the first year. Several times he was not seen in the classroom, but all the teachers relaxed. The privilege owned “para falcon”—sebutasi for the students who regularly go in and out of the principal room. Some say they're spies Mevel, accomplices to do “dirty work” Mr. Navarro, the magic guinea pig, and a myriad of other gossip. Although the rumors vary, in fact the spreader is only one: Dalton S. Wolfe from force two.

“She is unpredictable and oversensitive!” amara continued with anger.

Shal's cheeks are bulging. She thinks Amara doesn't like Thann because she treats Shal badly. Thann was always cold with Shalima, as if she was just a poor student sponsored by her father. Well, it is, anyway. However, what happened in Ginkgo Forest, dong? Well, it's nothing, anyway. Shal just barely killed him. Oh, can't she be a grudge to him? Then, why did he send nuskabadori everything to send a greeting until he met again?

“Don’t get it wrong, dear.” Amara rubbed Shal's head, like he was spoiling a cat. “Let me tell you. What a person does can be 180 degrees different from what he thinks. That's why, I actually want to make sure his thoughts are about you. However, his mind was hard to penetrate. There was once he let me read his mind, to simply tell me to stop reading his mind. So arrogant!”

While Amara snorted bitterly, Shal instead held back a laugh seeing Amara commenting on her fellow arrogant creatures.

Thann's figure near the window of the headmaster's room has now been changed with the figure of Zovras. The man also included “para falcon” and Shal was worried he was Mr. spy. Navarro to the prefects.

Suddenly, Shalima smiled mischievously. He raised his eyebrows, gesturing for Amara to read his mind. Shalima wanted to ask the relationship between Zovras and Amara, which lately does look very familiar. Shal also suspected, lest the moon rabbit ointment was given specifically by Zovras for Amara.

The Elf girl only smiled faintly as she read Shal's mind.

 Shalima knocked on the door twice. On the one hand he wished that no one would open the door, but on the other he did feel he needed help.

Good, keep on being a wishy-washy Shalima!

Self-critic has been his friend for a long time, even before he realized he had the ability to self-healing.

Shalima's wish came true because no one opened the door. However, the door of the Astrology Club room was already wide open by itself.

Shal walked into a rather dark room, but illuminated projections of glowing and moving celestial objects hovering in the room. The projection even filled the walls and ceiling. Shal is like being in the night sky or in a mini planetarium.

The girl's gaze swept across a row of shelves containing moon lamps, telescopes, books, rocks, and foreign objects. Finally, Shal found a male figure sitting on a table near the curtain. Her dark blue hair poked out from behind a magic book that floated over her face. Blue hair and the magic book, it's definitely Zovras.

A few seconds later the magic book closed. The room suddenly became bright and the window curtains were opened.

“How is your day?” ask Zovras familiar. However, the Wizard man's face immediately stiffened upon seeing Shalima. In a hurry Zovras got off the table and stood up nervously, “Sorry, I thought you were Amara.”

Shalima smiled clumsyly and replied, “Amara can't come because she wants to practice lira. Instead, he told me to come to consult you.”

“You want to be predicted?” zovras asked half excited and half astonished.

Zovras Aldebaran comes from the descendants of the elementary Wizard who carries the elements of nature. However, he was recruited by Maple Academy instead because of his special talents, namely self-replication and self-teleportation. In addition, he became the chairman of the Astrology Club and often went around looking for female creatures who want to be stared at for a long time to be predicted through ‘stars in his eyes’. There's not much Shal knows about Zovras. However, through the story of Amara, he became aware that the child had a myriad of likes and talents.

“Not,” replied Shalima, “Amara said you were studying astrology dream interpretation. So, she had me consult about ... my nightmare.”

Zovras frowned. A few seconds later the man smiled very charmingly and nodded.

“As you wish, Shalima. Come and sit,” he said as he moved his hand. Suddenly two chairs danced with the wind and stopped in front of Zovras. He occupied one seat and let Shal occupy the other seat.

“Everything started since .. black smoke incident.” Zovras' intense gaze made Shal instantly start his story.

“Ah, the one,” reply Zovras excited, “That was awesome! I didn't know that summoning charm could invite smoke that close!”

Shal did not feel he had hidden talent even though Zovras was heard flattering him. Want to see how, black smoke is a disgrace that has tarnished his life history. What if he can't get a job after graduating from Maple Academy? Some of the students— initiated by Lily— have even blatantly mocked him with the title “Prefect Darkness”.

Unknowingly both of Shal's cheeks became bloated. The girl's eyes probed Zovras with concern. Were it not for being convinced by Amara, Shal would not have come here and shared the story with “lelaki foreign”.

Being stared at like that made Zovras realize that Shal felt unsafe telling him.

“When I first tried summoning charm pet contract, I also invited black smoke. However, the black smoke was ordinary. In my opinion, black smoke as close as yesterday can appear because it is chanted with a very firm and earnest intention. You seem to really miss your contract animal, huh?”

 Shalima lumer's heart is already. The girl's eyes glazed over and knew she had told him about Malechite. In fact, Shal continued to complain about his sleep is not good because of nightmares. The girl was worried that the strange dreams had arisen because she accidentally uttered the nightmare summoning charm as well. Samael said, the spells are indeed similar.

“How many times have you cast a spell?” ask Zovras.

“One time only. After that, black smoke immediately appeared from the magic circle.”

 Zovras shook his head, “Then, there's no way you're saying a nightmare summoning charm as well. One spell only works for one thing. If you manage to invite black smoke, then what you say is not a nightmare summoning charm or pet contract.”

Of course Shal was happy not to invite nightmares, but he was confused about where the dreams came from and how to get rid of them. Unknowingly, his shoulders drooped.

Relax, Shal. Tell me about your dreams in as much detail as possible. I'll try drawing your dreams.” Zovras took his sketchbook and pencil on the table. While preparing to draw him said, “You can start from the rocky field that you told me about earlier. Do you remember the shape of the stone?”

This is another of Zovras' talents and passions. The man was good at drawing and interested in rocks. This multitalented guy fits really well with the high-class Amara.

Amara, he is approved!
