Maple High School Academy Year 3
The Fire of Eternity - Fire Mirror

Fire Mirrors

A LIGHT ARROW flashed towards them and grazed Cyrus' wrist. That is what hands are called reciprocated hands. Cyrus was in pain, so her grip on the blonde-haired Elf girl began to weaken. Leena clasped her hand so she wouldn't fall. He was slightly nauseous, the firebirds that carried them could not fly quietly as they had to dodge every arrow of light released by Aleesia.

The mixed-blooded girl was getting closer. Although he flew while shooting, his speed remained steady, while Cyrus could not counterattack. Both of his hands were holding onto something and he was also reluctant to use magic spells.

“Leena, do something!”

The Elf girl shook her head. “Can't, just run.”

“What do you think we're doing? Then let go of my hand and just grab my leg!”

As ordered, Leena let go of her hand. Although a bit creepy, because he could have failed to hold back and fell on the reef.

Cyrus straightened his hands forward, a small blaze burning blood dripping from his wound, then enlarged and formed a fireball the size of his body. He hoped that his attack was strong enough as he did not want to linger dealing with the Half-Blood Noblesses squad members.

“Maybe this can't kill you, but stop chasing!” he shouted while throwing fireballs at Aleesia. The wisp flashed, almost matching the speed of the light arrow. With a large size as well as a fairly close target distance, it should be unavoidable,

His collision caused a very violent explosion in the air.

The white-haired man believed his attack was strong enough to injure the Elvangel Princess. He continued to watch the bottom of the blast area, waiting for a winged creature to fall from there, but it did not. The girl just came out from inside the puff without the slightest injury. Cyrus was astonished to see it, indeed he only used one hand and did not concentrate the energy for too long, but this result was too disappointing.

“Kukira hard, it turns paper.” Aleesia drove back while directing the bow.

Not only the opponent, the friend whose life now depended on Cyrus also stared down lightly. “It's too weak, Cyrus!”

“Very weak. Now, say goodbye to the world. Dead one is better than dead both, ‘kan?” cyrus Syndicate. Inwardly, he was eager to burn his feet and take down his girlfriend.

Aleesia shot three arrows at once. What else could they do if the arrow was suddenly in sight? Of course resigned and let the fire bird fly as fast as possible to avoid. One arrow missed, the remaining two managed to stick in Cyrus' chest and hand. I don't know what's wrong with the guy until all the arrows point at him, even though Leena is an easier target.

Finally, in the midst of their despair, came the hero of misfortune. Claryn and Ayaka who were already far ahead turned around. They were worried about his two friends, especially after seeing the big explosion earlier.

Claryn flew next to the Elf girl then whispered, “If I give her a cue, directly use your power, Leena!” The team stopped, making the pursuing girl come to a stop some distance away from them.

Aleesia lowered the bow, tidied up her slightly messy hair, then said, “Give those mirror fragments back if you still love life!”

“If you really want it, then take it!” Ayaka threw the mirror flakes forward, so it fell a little closer to Aleesia.

The long black haired girl looked down. He did not believe it, but that was his conversion. After re-aligning the view, a thick purple-colored gas was already fired towards him. A transparent shield was created, successfully fending off some poison needles. Aleesia passes through the gas with a shield. Very beyond expectations, not four more teenagers were blurred, but 28 people and each group flew in a different direction.

Duplicate Trick is a talent of Leena who is able to make a shadow of an object in large numbers. Shadows are permanent and can only be lost if exposed to magic or too far from the user.

Aleesia simply smiled, then eliminated the arc of light. “No problem. I know where they're going.”

 The original team flew towards one o'clock, already far enough they had fled so Aleesia was nowhere to be seen again. The three of them could breathe a sigh of relief, but not for Cyrus. The only man on the team did not look well, his body was covered in arrow wounds and blood continued to pour.

“Cyrus, are you okay?” ask Ayaka to worry.

The man shook his head while covering the wound on the chest so as not to wet the entire uniform. “Just worry about your friend. If I die, maybe he'll come with me.”

Claryn came closer, then grabbed her arm slowly. “Don't joke! If you need help, just say it!”

“We land or give you another ride, because I can't keep in the air.”

“It's easy. Ayaka, handle!” The Fallen Angel girl turned her palm and a large firefly appeared beside her. “He Mr. CR, animal contractku.”

Why is his name so ugly? batin Ayaka, do not dare to speak for fear of being dropped.

Since there was no one else at his feet, Cyrus turned his entire body into fire. Slowly, he began to improve, the wounds that were on the chest and also the hands disappeared instantly. However, instead, his talent went dormant for a while, so the fire bird vanished and he fell on the back of a giant firefly.

“You're cruel, Claryn. Though noon is the time for fireflies to rest,” said Ayaka casually to the person who is now carrying his body and life.

The shoulder-haired girl smiled wickedly then said, “If I want, I can kill you three.”

 Finally, the team landed on the riverbank near a forest called the Forest of Echoes. Mr. CR and her children disappeared again along with Claryn's wings as she began to enter the forest. Cold wind blows, causing the pecunky leaves of the trees.The place is comfortable enough for them to rest after airsickness.

Not a few wildlife passing by like deer and wild boar, making the smallest girl on the team ask to catch one of them. However, the forest was the largest natural resource of the Stoneville region which was heavily guarded by the Alchemy Mountain. Of course they should not enter carelessly, especially to hunt the animals there.

Ten minutes of rest, Claryn took out a piece of mirror from her pocket, because the object that Ayaka threw was actually just a manipulation of light, she showed the piece of glass in front of the team, then asked, “You know, , ‘kan?”

“No,” answer they are compact, except Cyrus.

The girl patted the eel then placed the mirror on the ground. “We will destroy it, but after knowing the elements. Because mirror flakes can only be destroyed with the same element.”

Ayaka cringing. “How to know?”

“Use element attack on the mirror! As weak as it is, it will definitely react if the elements are the same.”

Claryn used a light attack and nothing happened. He also looked towards the team. The other two girls shook their heads, they could not use elemental magic. The only hope and also the key is Cyrus, a Wizard who is an expert in magic.

“Cyrus, your turn!” decreed Chairman.

The pale-skinned man nodded. “I just deactivated my talent, can't.”

“You are Wizard, don't make me laugh and use your magic!”

“Using magic? Don't joke!”

“Do it or I will do evil to you!” threaten the brunette girl with a spooky look.

Cyrus clucked in annoyance, finally he opened the grimoire and started casting spells. Small flames appeared and then led to a mirror. When it hit the surface, suddenly there was a fairly loud explosion accompanied by a flash of light. The team ran checking, no scratches at all, but they were sure that it reacted. It is certain that the mirror element is indeed fire and the only person who can destroy it is Cyrus.

Claryn approached the man then said, “Bring the mirror flakes! We'll destroy it according to the elemental territory. You know where, ‘kan?”

“Cursed territory, of course I know.”

“It should be?” asked Ayaka who was already lazy to walk again.

“You saw that? Mirror flakes cannot be destroyed here.”

The four of them followed Cyrus to the northwest, to the region of Fyreville. Just walking for a while, suddenly a crow flew over. The black bird dropped a piece of paper in front of the man in the lead. A little suspicious, but it should be checked. Cyrus took it and read something written on it.

If this letter gets to your hands, it means you've met Aleesia. Yeah, I asked her to come out this morning and she was weird. Relax, the fan problem, let me take care of myself. I know by now you've gone away from Wisteria and probably won't come back. I also know who you are, where you are, and your past. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fortune teller. My ravens are watching you, but I see your identity myself. Since we can't see each other again, I'm just saying goodbye. You may not, but I want you to know me. I'm Arcus Ferront and ....

The man stopped and directly tore it apart, if the talent was still active it might have been burned. A ferront? It is coincidental, but useless as well.

“What is it?” Claryn came closer, about to grab the paper.

Cyrus immediately raised his hand so that the girl shorter than him could not reach him. “Only regular paper.”

Claryn's been through, but why am I upset. You tall people! inner Ayaka. Hungry, he walked up to an apple tree and picked four.

The team ate casually, while Cyrus immediately panicked as soon as she received the apple her friend gave her. Picking fruit is not a big problem, but the explosion of mirror fragments earlier. He just remembered that in the forest there were not only the four of them. Suddenly there were footsteps running from behind. They turned their heads, two people in dark brown covered robes were heading towards them while shouting.

“Includers!”
