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

Ache

SHALIMA ADMITTED THAT Zovras could draw his dream on paper with 85% accuracy%. It was hard for Shal to seem uninterested in those eye-indulgent images.

“I know you're still upset, but I just want to make sure if this hartal color is right.” Zovras pleaded while showing a picture of a rock shining in the depths of the hot lava. Still a rock shard of asteroids.

Shal has a shooting schedule for the school profile The Recruiter will bring. While waiting, the girl chose to sit under a tree near the hall. Suddenly Zovras came and talked about the picture. Shal held back from laughing knowing this was just Zovras' mode so that the girl would soften and could forgive him for what happened in Stars Hill yesterday.

“I think this picture is enough. If you don't mind, you can start with a new picture because last night I had another dream. That's also if you're willing not to discuss conspiracy theories about the Iziah family,” Shal said.

Zovras did not mind. The Wizard man immediately got excited again because he felt forgiven.

Last night Shalima dreamed —again—was on the back of Dragon Porsesa. This time they flew over a vast plain that contained the reflection of the sky. Shortly afterwards he saw two men fighting on the plains. The Dragons of Porsisa then flew low and breathed out fire to break them apart. At the same time, Dragon Porsisa dropped Shal from his back.

This time, his dream did not end there. Shal managed to land well and saw the two people who were injured were preparing to launch another attack. One was a blue-haired woman in a fluttering white dress, while the other was a black-robed man. The blue-haired girl then let out an extremely powerful energy wave. The wave hits Shal and that's where his dream ends.

“Your dreams are getting longer and more detailed.” Zovras spoke while sketching on the third sheet. Very agile his hand moves to follow Shal's story.

“Do you think this is good or even bad?”

Zovras stopped his activity and looked at Shal deeply, “I still don't know. I don't think it's a nightmare, but it's too early to make any conclusions. Tell you what, after I finish these three images, we will immediately check out what the celestial body said about all your dreams.”

Shalima nodded with a smile. Seeing Zovras draw his dream is already very fun, what else to see the man doing astrology dream interpretation.

“By the way, shouldn't we be in the hall soon?” Zovras spoke while examining his watch. Shal immediately got up as soon as he remembered about the school profile photo shoot. They walked together towards the hall after Zovras finished tidying up his belongings.

Zovras looks different today. It turned out that the guy was wearing an official Maple Academy uniform with a wide robe collar.

Looks handsome, huh?

Even his own heart tried to try it.

Yeah, handsome too. It fits Amara.

Looking at Zovras is quite interesting. Her hair was as dark blue as the night sky when it was illuminated by the moonlight. His eyes are also blue. As he looked at it, it was like being sucked into a galaxy vortex. His skin is tanned, a little darker than Shal's. Do not forget about the elongated diagram on both of his lower arms. Shal found himself washed away several times while researching the mark on the man's arm.

Another symbol, such as a combination of circles, triangles, and arrows, extends vertically across Zovras' left cheek. Amara said it was a sacred symbol of the elementary Wizard, a sign that one day the Wizard man might be able to master all the elements of nature. Zovras also always wears the same earrings as that symbol on his right ear. In fact, Zovras moon rabbit named Eloysa has a similar symbol on his forehead.

Zovras' body is firm and solid. He was quite tall, making Shal only as tall as his jaw. His smile was also charismatic as well as mysterious. There were times when the smile made Zovras look sweet, but there were times when it made Zovras seem to be thinking about idle or evil things.

But that smile more often makes it look attractive, right?

“Is there something on my face that bothers you so much?” The words of Zovras disperse the reverie of Shalima.

Yeah, charisma.

Shut up, conscience!

“Ti—no! Swear!” Shal answered while glaring in panic. Perhaps, while discussing Zovras' body in his mind, he also looked at the man's body parts intently!

“Oh, I thought you were curious about this.” Zovras spoke while pointing at the symbol on his cheek. “Many people feel this symbol is a bit excessive. Why should it also appear here, when there are other places that are not too interesting?”

Shal was busy reconciling himself with the mistakes he had made. Unknowingly, his forehead wrinkled and his cheeks bulged. Zovras then tried to calm the girl down.

  “Quiet, Shal. It's okay, really. We're this close, you can ask me anything. I hope ... I can also get to know you more deeply.”

Zovras is wrong. Instead of calming, his words actually made Shal's body react massively.

 Shal still doesn't think. May Amara, whose wisdom can penetrate the atmosphere, establish a relationship with the male player. There is nothing in Shal's dictionary to get in close contact with people's lovers, let alone his own best friend!

You have messed with the wrong girl, Zov!

“You're not a Maple Academy couple? Why is it so stiff, anyway? Don't you guys fight anymore, huh?” Their photographer, a demigod named Erct, reprimands Shalima and Thann who are in one frame together. They became the main face of Maple Academy with the theme of talented and warm. However, from earlier Thann only showed a flat expression—his daily face—while Shalima showed an annoyed and tense expression.

“Couple? Couple what?” shalima Sudang.

“Ah, gone,” ledek Erct, “Birds from Ginkgo Forest the story.”

It turns out that his Malechite friends like to gossip! Shal wanted to straighten out the story right away, but he was shocked because Thann suddenly held onto his shoulder.

“Edit team can make there is a small green lizard is here,” Thann pointed Shalima's hand which is being held. “Maybe it can treat your longing for Malechite.”

Shalima noticed a smile forming on her face. Imagine being with Malechite, even if only in photos, so pleasing to her. He was also happy that Thann thought about it, though this was solely so that the shoot was quickly completed.

Now Shal and Thann have posed in front of the camera. Erct seriously aimed his camera at the two people. The longer, the more satisfying the pictures are. He continued to take pictures while unceasingly giving directions.

“Yes, smile like that!”

“Thann, can you lift your face a little?”

“Good, Shal! Forward!”

“Try you guys chat, let's be more natural!”

Shalima was confused as to what to chat with Thann. In addition to avoiding him, Thann also always looks uncomfortable when Shal approaches him or invites him to chat. Hence, Shal became used to keeping a distance with the man.

“See you no meaningful progress in the Spell class. You suck or your tutor who turns out not to be that great?”

The tutor?

Unintentionally, Shal knitted his eyebrows together in serious thought.

“Don't you guys have more fun than studying? Oh, my God, Shal, you should be focused! Take the example of Elleanor. Already that clever, he still rejected your friend serigalam in order to focus his attention on learning.”

Whahuh? Elle's already turned down Valfred?

“Why silence? Suddenly mute?” jeered Thann who was upset because his words did not go unravelris.

Shal so ride apitam hear the words of Thann. That guy's smart, handsome, and a noble's son, but when it comes to empathy he's an idiot!

Thann, I'm not just the innocent, obedient girl you met in Ginkgo Forest! I can be a female dragon too!

“Iya, mute. You're the best at mute people! Lynean just barely made you mute!”

The disparaging smile on Thann's face faded away. Instead of feeling satisfied, Shal even felt more pain because of the disappointment and hurt feelings from the look of Thann's eyes.

“Ma—”

“Lynean was mute because of me, but at least that time he was not stupid like you.”

Shal knew her adrenocorticotropic hormone was on the rise and her vagal nerve activity was on the rise. His chest now felt tight, his heart was pounding, and his stomach felt nauseous.

 “I don't understand what Zovras saw from you, but if you want to have fun, look around too, dong.”

Erct was glued behind his camera. He did not expect his instructions to chat even ended in disaster. Likewise with Thann, he was stunned to see the look on Shal's face.

“Ma—I mean look-see conditions. You are ...”

Thann did not continue with his defense. It was too late because he saw tears dripping down Shal's cheek. Shal wiped his tears with the back of his hand. Shit, the tears were removed one even down a thousand.

“I am stupid. So stupid I asked the fireflies to hope so I could be a charming girl ...”

So that we are not too lame.

“Jeez, I'm really dumb, ‘kan?”

Thann swallowed his saliva. He immediately raised his hand to calm Shal down, but was instead pushed aside by the girl.

“Until any time, I will never be good enough for you. Why should I care?” Shalima looked at Thann sharply then turned around and ran out of the hall. In front of the door, Shal passed Zovras who had completed his shooting session. He was actually waiting for Shal.

As soon as he saw the girl crying, Zovras caught Shalima's hand. Thann also walked out of the hall, but his steps came to a halt as soon as he saw Zovras was holding Shalima.

“Why, Shal?” ask Zovras worried. Shal brushed off Zovras' hand violently until the man collapsed and dropped the sketchbook he was holding.

“Leave me alone!” hardik Shalima's. The girl then ran away from the hall, while Zovras and Thann exchanged glances. Suddenly, their shoulders were patted by someone.

“Amara stories in school are not always smooth, Son,” sigh Mr. Navarro while looking at the two students alternately with concerned gazes. He also stepped away while reminiscing at the Wisteria Academy first.
