The Borders
Section 1 – Weak People
A man aged approximately 20 years is quite tall and his body looks not so full with body skin color is not so white. With straight black hair but a little messy, has the color of the iris of the eye that looks dark red close to black but is protected by clear black-framed glasses. Pretty good looking for a guy his age.
He was busy recording a report that seemed to be piling up on his desk. He was so focused on what he was doing that he did not realize a woman who was already standing sweetly before him.
"Today's kashel of personal data of a person sent directly from the Head Office will come, and the person in that data will join the Dusk Boundary Division." A woman explained to the young man who looked busy.
The man looked up confused, his glasses were not on his face properly.
"Huh?" asking back casually justifies his glasses. Like not listening to the words of his partner, his face looks as damp as people lack sleep.
The woman gave the personal data file of the new person who will join."Whatisthis? This time you can take care of it, Anna. Please." Her request.
"We have the busyness of each Kashel. Tomorrow night we all have to take to the field to investigate the recent case of the dark spirits making noise in a small district on the outskirts of Baltesam, and this office is in short supply. Tomorrow night you're the only one here." Obviously the woman named Anna to the young man named Kashel.
"I would love to help you, but as the head of this division you must be firm. At least your appearance tomorrow should be a little tidy from today."
"For the sake of looking for a face at the Head Office so that this division is a little noticed, this is our advantage because there will be additional people who are brought in.
"You know that if this division is dissolved, you'll be returned to the Headquarters and if you don't want to you'll go with the guy." Anna keeps babbling.
"Of course I won't let that happen!" Kashel stood up in spirit.
"But I'm really tired. Why is the report this much." Kashel sat in his chair leaning tiredly looking at the documents piling up on his desk.
Kashel knew the Head Office had deliberately made the division held by him suffer so much, that Kashel surrendered and made himself return to the Head Office, following all the rules there.
But the people in the Kashel division, the ones considered exiles by the Head Office always did a good job, so the division was able to survive until now.
In the end, their work was doubled. After fighting in the field they have to do other work. But they all never gave up on defending that division, for the sake of their freedom.
"I hope the new guy wants to be a part of us completely. Without being controlled by the center and being a permanent employee of this office." Please Kashel.
Kashel was happy to have a new member, no matter if it was a spy or not the point he got a new employee.
"Let me take care of the office, you guys just do your job." Kashel spoke even though he looked a little lazy.
"Ready!" Anna resigned herself.

Baltesam Central Region Road. Number 179. A man walking in the darkness of the night.
My name is Kyler Lamont, and my guardian spirit is Quirin. We met when I was on the verge of death, most people with spirit vision ability if they are weak they will be targeted by evil spirits to become their food in order to get the energy that can make them survive in the human world.
When my entire body was about to die, Quirin shared her life with me and chose me as her master.
Quirin was an ice-type Protective Spirit, although we were bound to each other I never felt it was a curse.
She remained my best friend all this time never feeling burdened by him, and feeling much stronger with him. With him I can do whatever I want.
I was ostracized by the Boundary Knights candidates for being considered weak. Yes, those whose lives were saved by his protective spirit were weaklings, that was how the Border world worked.
Whereas the person who was chosen by the Guardian Spirit and bound the contract without saving his life or dying was the chosen one because of their great magic power.
But I dispute all things. Me and Quirin fought to be the strongest and defeated the Limit Guard Knights who underestimated me, those who became contract binding masters without having to die first.
I managed to get the top rank and once challenged the Kendirck family as a descendant of the Boundary Guard Organization leader where I was supposed to work, if not subjected to expulsion.
As a result of my defeat, I was thrown into an unmanageable division to serve there. A division called the breakout division or people who defied from the regulations of the Head Office, the Dusk Boundary Division one of the branches of the Head Office.
The workers are not so many, but quite famous in doing his job well, as the Knights of the Boundary Guard for the safety of human life. As a person with special abilities, I never knew why the division was labeled an outcast. His reputation was not bad enough, but it was good. I was told to be a spy there.
Oh yes one more, at first I did not want to work as a spirit exterminator or a Boundary Guard Knight. No matter about it. I like to do what I want.
However, there is no destination for people like me, people who are bound to the Border world. Inevitably I must become a Boundary Knight if I want the freedom I want.
By resolving the chaos at the Border Gate and making the two worlds stable, then I will be able to choose my freedom. That's all people like us can do to achieve freedom.

The Dusk Boundary Division.
"No one, where is everyone?" kyler's murmur had reached the front of the office.
The Special Services Division of the Dusk Limit, operates and is active at night because in the dark of night the Spirit of Darkness usually carries out its actions to make trouble in the human world.
After entering the office, Kyler stood in front of a room and he found a man with glasses was busy writing his work report with a computer. But, the room seemed to have a protective spell that could not be entered if it did not ask permission from the person inside.
Kyler could only be silent at the door.
"Oh you've come apparently, come in." The order of the person inside, suddenly the barrier disappeared.
"Sorry before, in this room does have a protective spell that only employees in this Division can enter or people who are allowed to enter can pass. While outside this office has protectors that can only be entered by ordinary humans and also people from the Head Office or the Border Guard Knights." Obviously a man named Kashel.
"Alright I understand, so where is the leader of this division?" Kyler asked.
"I'm the one." Kashel answered immediately.
"Eee, you're a weak man." Kyler watched Kashel's body from top to bottom, the young man looked neither strong nor possessed any strength at all.
"I am weak, I cannot choose my own world." Kashel did not deny it.
What does that mean, inner Kyler.
"Don't mind the words just now because they don't matter, can you introduce your name?" kashel asked, even though he knew the name of his new employee. He just wants to make sure.
"My name is Kyler Lamont and this is Quirin my guardian spirit." Kashel looks confused as Kyler points to Quirin.
"Don't tell me you can't see it?!" surprised.
"Ahh, it's true to wear these glasses." Kashel showed the glasses she was wearing, apparently the glasses were devoted to closing her inner eyes.
"You, how can you be a leader. People like you?!" Kyler doesn't believe it.
"Oh, so you don't know. If it's so good." Kashel understood, The Head Office did not explain about him.
"What's so good?" Kyler doesn't understand.
"Actually I can see, just because of these glasses I can't see. I just want to look normal." Kashel looks proud of it.
"How can a person as weak as you can be a leader, those glasses should not work for a strong person. You also have no protective spirit. How can you be a leader?"
"Protective spirit, I seem to have. But, does he belong to the Guardian Spirit?" Kashel seemed to be thinking about something.
"There's no way you have a protective spirit, because the Guardian Spirit and its master can't be far apart for more than twelve hours or they will die and that applies to all Limit Guard Knights.
"I don't accept you being the leader, the weakest of you." Kyler Protests.
"I told you because I'm weak I can't refuse to be a leader here, I can't choose my own life."
"I'll test your skills. Quirin!" no matter what Kashel said, he did not understand the purpose of the man who would be its chairman.
Kashel felt that someone would attack him but his protective spell was active. And that power seemed to bounce off.
This boy, really a hoodlum seems to deserve to be sent here, Kashel thought.
Realizing the man's strength was strong, once again the attack of the barrier spell that Kashel activated for him would be shattered. Kashel felt a strong pressure on his body.
Should I take my glasses off, no-no I should find another way first, Kashel thought of an idea.
"You have a protective spell?" Kyler realized that if Kashel had a different protective spell, the protective spell was quite strong. The special Quirin couldn't even break through it.
"It would be impolite if you had to pick a boss up a fight here. You are strong, I admit that. After all, even though I am the leader here of our equal standing, the chairman is only a title for me but after my work you and all the servants in this place are equal. You understand it now.
"If you want you may not be polite to me, but when carrying out your duties you still should not be lazy, even though we are the same you will face an enemy that suits your abilities and only there you have to obey your superiors the rest you can do as you please. This is all for the peace of the human world, and so as not to inflict much harm on others." Kashel tried to explain.
"Curtain! I'll never follow your words."
"As far as you are concerned, as long as you do not harm anyone else, members of this division or yourself you can do whatever you want. I don't care." Kashel came out of his room. He no longer wanted to be attacked by Kyler's protector, Kashel realized the barrier in his body had weakened because of it.

"Well introduce my name Erza Kashel Kendrick, you can call me Kashel." A little while later after they finally made peace.
"It's only fitting that you can be a leader here, even if you're weak, you're a descendant of Kendrick."
"Yes I can't argue with the fact that I'm part of the Kendrick family, nor can I choose to live my own life or my own desires and isn't that like a curse." Look Kashel towards Kyler.
"…." - ".Kyler said nothing.
"I'm sorry that I've been talking nonsense that won't do any good, I've become like a person who's never grateful, I'm sorry maybe you're offended because you might be full of struggles to be strong." Kashel felt guilty.
"I'll take you around recognizing this place. Follow me." Kashel spoke at length that most of her speech did not seem to be digested well by Kyler's ears.
"It turns out you're a talkative person, even though most of me don't understand what you're talking about."
"It seems so," Kashel smiled this time in response.
"But still, I'm so curious about your protective spell that's why it's so powerful. Honestly, I want to try to break through it once again. You know one of Quirin's specialties, which is the antidote to barrier spells. But how can someone as weak as you have such a powerful barrier spell."
"Quirin, attack him once more!" kyler's orders are still curious.
Kashel did not know what else to do, he opened his glasses it seemed too late, the attack had apparently almost hit him. Kashel's reflexes only covered her face with her arms. Hoping after this nothing happened, when the attack hit him.
