The Borders
Section 51 – Meeting with Rainer
There was nothing special in the material of the sealing spell for Kashel. He could draw sealing spell symbols well but could not activate them so the value he got on this material was only half of it.
.
.
.
Now that they had entered the material about healing spells, in this material they learned how to concoct magic medicines.
With herbal ingredients and magic symbols they then made a medicine that the Boundary Knights could use when they were in a state of being injured or desperate. But due to having to use good magic energy control, many of them failed this test. Due to the mistake in controlling the energy, the magic medicine would instead become poison for the bodies of the Boundary Guard Knights.
Even in practice there are those who make an explosion because of poor magic energy control.
Kashel got quite good grades although not as good as the value of protective spells, because he could concoct natural herbal remedies even without magic energy.
In the last month of his school year, they learn material about memory-removing spells, it is only short in this material because this spell is a forbidden magic that should not be used to others carelessly because it can affect the mentality of others affected.
Memory eraser spells also cannot function permanently, there is a set time limit depending on how powerful the magic energy of the user is.

It was not felt that their graduation ceremony had even begun. Kashel earned his degree as well in the end. He was happy despite his average score. But that thing could hold his life in front of him.
"Well after I finish my internship and the next organization leader has been determined I will continue my school again to improve this grade and live my life well out there." Kashel hopes a lot ahead about his life.
He has got what it takes to live life out there so that one day he can live life like everyone else.
His plan was in his two-year internship at The Borders Organization. He may be able to save money to continue his schooling later and improve his grades that are only average and get a good job after that.
.

It was here that Kashel was now in front of The Borders Organization's Apprenticeship Office. Not a plCenter Office is just an ordinary office that handles interns.
The Knights of the Patas Guard worked in groups. An apprentice hired with only two people on each team is usually the job of an apprentice to assist other members of the Boundary Guard Knights in carrying out their duties.
Kashel was waiting for a teammate, usually a teammate, who was experienced in doing the work of exterminating spirits instead of an apprentice.
Kashel always hoped he could find a good person who could guide him in his duties later, not a person who would bully him like before he hoped to find a good person this time.
Then a middle-aged man had white shoulder-length hair, his hair was slightly wavy, had bright yellow eyes using a fedora hat with a suit and a robe that was waist-length. He came towards Kashel while smoking a cigarette.
Kashel was astonished to see the aura of the man according to Kashel the man was so charismatic.
Then he approached Kashel and began to talk to him.
.
.
.
"Are you a boy named Kashel?" he asked, he sat himself down while continuing to smoke his cigarette.
"Yes my own," Kashel spoke politely.
"Don't be too formal with me" the man turned off the cigarette he was smoking, looking a little more burned to the cigarette butts. And took a new one from his box which he kept in his pocket.
Kashel was just watching him. While nodding, he felt nervous about meeting new people.
"Ah sorry sir I don't smoke." Kashel refused while waving her hand.
"You're a good boy apparently."The man kept his cigarette case back in his pocket.
"I'm not that kind of person, sir," Kashel said with a friendly smile.
"No good man says he's good, son. Usually good people look, when people see it good." The white-haired man spoke as he continued to smoke his cigarette.
"From tomorrow night to the next two years, you and I will be co-workers." The man then looked at Kashel and explained.
"People used to call me Rainer." He said introducing himself, he is currently stopping his smoking.
"One more don't call me Father just call me Uncle to feel more familiar." Said the man to Kashel, The still awkward Kashel just nodded in agreement.
"My name is Erza Kashel Kendrick, just call me Kashel." Kashel introduced herself timidly. Rainer just stared at him saying nothing. Kashel is prepared to be insulted like before for bearing Kendrick's big name.
"I hope you don't get bored of me huh, hopefully we can get along. Because I never had a coworker before." Said Rainer trying to get along with Kashel, as this was his first time as well. He did not think about the ins and outs of the Kashel family.
"I should have said it like Uncle, I'm not the person Uncle thinks I am. I also don't have the experience of working with others well." Kashel explained not daring to look Rainer in the face.
"Maybe my presence as Uncle's partner will only trouble Uncle but if there's anything, I'll try to help Uncle as much as I can." Kashel said sure.
"You don't have to worry, I'm actually used to working alone, but this time I'll take care of you Kashel." Rainer continued his words.
Rainer's age was probably already about thirty-eight years, twenty years older than Kashel. So Rainer wanted to be the guardian for Kashel.
.
.
.
"So Uncle, now what do we do first to get this job started?" kashel asked to ask Rainer for a briefing.
"You come with me, you don't have to be too rigid in doing this job." Rainer took Kashel to go somewhere.
To Kashel's surprise, Rainer takes him to a restaurant and takes him to eat there.
"When working, are we okay doing this kind of thing Uncle?" kashel asked somewhat fearfully, all this time he had always done things seriously and seriously.
"You're young, enjoy your youth while you can enjoy it. Come in. Let Uncle treat." Rainer patted Kashel's head wanting to familiarize himself.
"This is how I work, hahaha." Rainer was having fun at his job.
"Be careful not to hesitate to eat it if you are hungry" Rainer pushed a soup over to Kashel.
Kashel accepted it politely as he had never met anyone like Rainer before and it was actually Kashel's first time going to a restaurant.
"Thank you, Uncle." I don't know why Kashel looks so happy with Rainer's kindness. Kashel was a man who almost never received the kindness of others, so when there were others who were kind to him then he would be very happy.
Kashel ate his food voraciously and Rainer told him to add if Kashel still felt hungry, saying there was no need to hesitate to him.
"So Uncle, what exactly are we supposed to do tonight?" Kashel asked again.
"Actually this is the place where we will work at night. In one of these rooms was a room that became a hiding place of the Dark Spirit within." Rainer explained after Kashel felt full eating her food. So, actually from the beginning they did not just intend to eat in the restaurant.
"In that room there are already many people who have experienced pain after staying in it, and our job is to cleanse the Spirit of Darkness." Rainer got out of his chair and Kashel followed behind.
After paying for the meal, Rainer then went to the reception desk to reserve a room.
Then he gave the code that made the receptionist understand that Rainer was from The Borders Organization, the people they called to solve the problem at their inn.
Rainer was given the key to room number 666. Kashel and Rainer's first mission as associates began that night.
