Reoccur

MY BODY FEELS HEAVY. Looks like there's something on my back, is this an elephant?

Cyrus turned around, looking at what was on his back. It turns out it was Claryn who accidentally landed there when it was thrown from the Well of Time, the well connecting the past with the future. “You're heavy, please be self-conscious!”

“Gosh, my head must have hit. Since when can the land talk?” The girl got out of Cyrus' body and stood up holding her head. He tried to calm his mind, but suddenly one of his friends screamed and messed it up.

“This is kidding, ‘kan? Why is the Headmaster telling us to do things we shouldn't?” Ayaka patted her cheeks, hoping that all that happened was a dream. He looked around, there was a large land filled with steep rocks and some trees. The black haired girl did not expect that their journey towards Autumnland would end up being thrown into the past. Despite the fact that, he still did not want to believe. “Leena, tell me this is a dream!” pinta Ayaka while tugging at her best friend's hand.

Leena then pinched the little girl's cheek very loudly while shouting, “This is not a dream. Awake, Ayaka!”

“Don't be hard!” Ayaka brushed off Leena's hand and stroked her painful cheek.

The Elf girl laughed. “Sorry, I seem to be missing.”

“No problem. What's happening now is much worse. We're in the past? This isn't good. We have to go back!”

It's only been a few minutes, but I'm fed up with their conversation. Why should I be on this team? inner Cyrus. From the beginning, he did not want to participate in the tournament and who would have thought his prayers were answered. Although the desire to get away from the three of them had yet to materialize and instead got stuck into more complicated matters. He must still work with them to destroy the fragments of the Time Mirror whose own holders are unknown, except for its name.

“How is the mission?” Leena stopped Ayaka who was about to approach the well. Actually, they didn't want to be the first team and experiment into the Well of Time. However, because the one who told was Mr. Navarro and the Lord of Darkness, they couldn't protest.

“Ayaka, relax! It's not as bad as you think,” Claryn said, trying to calm her down.

“How can I calm down? Claryn, explain what this all means!” Ayaka clasped her hands, pleading for an explanation from the most experienced person among them.

Claryn laughed at her junior's panic. He let go of Ayaka's grasp, patted her on the shoulder slowly, then said, “You're too panicked, don't mean anything. We are given a task, work on it, then go home.”

“I'm sure it's not as easy as it sounds.”

The team leader shook his head and started walking. “We'd better not linger here and leave soon.”

The three of them followed Claryn to the Wisteria Academy. Behind them, the Well of Time rumbled and Mikalea's team spewed out from inside the well.

“They spewed out that well more terrible than us,” said Ayaka while looking back.

The journey from Well of Time is not easy, because Purple Coral is a steep coral area, so they have to pass through winding roads and stairs and uphill. In addition, the sky is still bright without clouds, making the sun face to face with the skin. Since it was just a walk, they were extremely exhausted, no wonder Ayaka kept complaining throughout the journey. Plus, the Lord of Darkness forbids the use of magic, including flying.

“Claryn, when do we get to?” For the third time Ayaka asked that question. He rubbed sweat on his forehead. The road was getting slower, indicating how tired he was.

“We have to stop,” said Leena. He was not tired, but he felt sorry for Ayaka.

“Padahal not yet half way.” The Fallen Angel girl remained focused on the trip and paid no heed to the complaints of the team. The Wisteria castle tower was already in sight, so he did not want to stop before he arrived.

Ayaka begins to separate quite far from her two friends. Cyrus who saw immediately slowed down the road and accompanied him behind. The girl can faint at any time, so it should be supervised. After a very long journey by climbing the stairs and jumping over the steep corals, they finally arrived in front of the Wisteria gate. Ayaka with a breath of breath did not believe that she could survive.

The girl sat straightening her legs, reclaiming her flying life along the way.

Claryn turned to look at him and smiled without sin. “Great, Ayaka. I thought you were going to pass out on the street.”

“You're evil. You cruel angel!”

“Don't do that! I'm also exhausted.”

Ayaka took a deep breath, tried to forget her frustration, then looked at the academy gates crowded by people in line. “What today is there some kind of festival?”

“Snow Hair, say something! You're a Wizard, ‘kan?” claryn's Word.

The man turned his face away, intending to insinuate Claryn. “So our senior sister doesn't know.”

“Stupid. Why don't you just look at it?” Cyrus walked towards the academy gate and lined up in a long row of people who were about to enter.

After queuing for quite a while and annoying as people crammed into each other, they finally crossed the gate and headed for Tunnelove. There are 22 types of wisteria flowers that adorn the roof of the tunnel with various color gradations, making anyone who passes will be amazed by its beauty. The three girls were engrossed in seeing the flowers to treat the tiredness after the trip, while Cyrus who was leading in front started to be attacked by the unpleasant feelings. Especially after seeing a banner that read Humanday that reminded him of the dark memory in the past. Now he understood why Lord Betelgeuse forbade them to use magic.

“Humanday? Do they worship humans or something?” ask a plain Ayaka.

“Sorry, but I hate your thoughts. Humanday is a festival that prohibits the use of magic. In other words, we act like ordinary humans,” explains Cyrus.

“Good, I understand.”

“We'd better find a place.” Claryn walked away from the castle courtyard.

Since most students were gathered in the courtyard, then some places would be deserted, like the classroom located at the very end. They were sitting in front of them watching the surrounding area, just in case someone approached because they would start discussing the plan.

“Before starting, there is one thing you need to remember. We have a time limit, Aphelion, and it's three days away. So, don't waste time!” claryn. The three of them nodded simultaneously. “On talent, Cyrus, why is your talent the same as your elemental magic, isn't it so useless?”

Cyrus did not respond because to her it was just part of the insults that Claryn had always given along the way.

“Serah, if you do not want to talk, anyway it does not matter because our task this time will be very easy,” Claryn said with full confidence.

“Leena, do you understand?” asked Ayaka who had trouble digesting her senior's words.

“Humanday can't use magic, ‘right? So we will more easily beat the mirror holder, even without the help of Cyrus.” Leena glanced at the man.

“Seratus. If it's about a girl named Aleesia, we can find her. No matter until any hour, as long as it is still Humanday, there will be no difficulties, even without the help of Cyrus.” Claryn laughed softly.

“I feel a victim of discrimination here.” The man stood up and left them.

“Where are you going? Please don't go around as you please!” angry Claryn.

“Toilet. So, I don't recommend you to come.”

“Alright, but don't be long! That was kidding, we need you.”

“Serious is also okay.”

Cyrus walked through the academy, looking around for where the bathroom was. He deliberately slowed down the road and went around so that it could be longer than his team. After getting tired of going around in circles, then he went to the bathroom. However, when he got there, something happened that made the desire to defecate disappear.

A student was being persecuted by three other students, of course the Humanday festival became a contributing factor to their actions. He watched through the open bathroom door. The boy was kicked, beaten, smashed against a wall, even his head was thrown into the toilet. Cyrus felt sad, pity, and angry. However, the look of his face could not show all that and instead smiled like a perpetrator.

“About how long can he hold on to using his strength?” His expression turned flat. In the end he was just watching and there was not the slightest intention to help.

Cyrus counted the time in his head. It had been a long time of suffering, but the boy did not also use magic and instead was seen trying to physically fight back. Surprisingly again, no one had come to the bathroom, as had been hired for the persecution. Cyrus grew bored, about to rest her eyes, but suddenly an explosion from a distance that shocked the entire bathroom. No, not even the entire academy. The perpetrators were shocked and immediately stopped the persecution. When the three of them let their guard down, the child immediately beat them one by one until they fainted and immediately ran away.

In front of the bathroom, he also approached Cyrus with anger. However, the white-haired man was still daydreaming, thinking of where the explosion came from and who the culprit was. He was unaware of someone's arrival until the collar of his shirt was pulled and a sharp gaze began to pierce his eyes.

“You? Why shut up?” snarled one of the students who had just been molested. “I don't know you, but I hope you're not part of them. You must not know what it's like to be treated like this, ‘kan? Weak base!” He pushed Cyrus strongly and then left.

The man had not finished thinking about the explosion, but his attention had to be diverted again towards the perpetrators lying on the floor. His anger re-emerged like there was an old grudge that would soon be avenged. “I guess it's just me, it turns out other people have it too. So, it's this disgusting creature that made his descendants inherit the same trait. Do you like the actions of the Human against the Wizard to do so? You are also Wizard.”

Cyrus walked over, intending to finish them off. Because magic would get him caught by magic knights, so he decided to use his bare hands. However, the strangeness had not been exhausted after the explosion. Cyrus' body suddenly could not move and a block of ice appeared around him. The main problem is that the man's skin is too sensitive. Even though it was just ice flakes, his body felt like it was being hit by a blizzard.

I don't know who, but if there's an act this stupid when Humanday is definitely a Maple student.

After a few minutes of freezing, the ice chips finally disappeared. Cyrus tried to continue with her murder. However, luck was again impartial. Suddenly something stuck on the man's back. It feels like a needle, but not a normal needle. Over time his body stiffened and began to be unable to move.

What else is this? Why are people so annoying?

Cyrus tried to face back, but the whole body could no longer move. Finally, he also lay with three people who wanted to finish off.
