The Borders
Section 70 – Plan Rainer
"What is Uncle doing?" kashel asked to see Rainer reading a book that appeared to be a rather thick spell book. Kashel sat down next to Rainer, who was trying to paint a magic symbol.
"Learn the sealing spell symbol." Rainer replied, continue painting the symbol without stopping.
"Great uncle, even without concentration can make a difficult spell of it." Kashel noticed, every line Rainer made was very complicated.
"Just like Kashel, when drawing your flagship barrier spell." Said Rainer again as he continued to draw it nonstop, his hands were so agile.
Kashel also remembered himself drawing barrier spells while talking to Rainer, before performing new tasks or simply drawing them so as not to forget the shapes and sequences of making barrier spells.
Kashel watched the spell papers Rainer made.
"Well, Uncle memorized all these spells?" kashel asked in amazement watching everything.
"It is only important that Kashel." Rainer answered, his hand is still busy drawing.
"Uncle is really cool." Kashel said in amazement, Rainer could memorize complex spells that Kashel himself found very difficult to imitate.
"Everything from Kashel's experience, you're young. So you haven't had much experience for now." Said Rainer, has stopped his activities for now.
Kashel was glued to one of the symbols Rainer made, Kashel noticed Rainer made many sealing spell symbols, because the barrier spell symbols were only a few kinds. The barrier could also actually be created from magic energy using elements already mastered by the Boundary Guard Knights. But for the fighter type itself it is better to use a barrier spell with spell paper like Rainer did because it does not have a protective spirit to cooperate with him.
"Uncle," said Kashel.
"What's Kashel?" asked Rainer who was currently busy reading books about magic symbols.
"Why did Uncle learn this forbidden spell?" kashel asked, he knew once this spell though it could not make it but it was a dangerous spell. The user of this spell will die if it activates it.
A soul sealing spell, it was a spell with the body and soul payment of its user. Seeing the spell that Kashel was afraid of, he thought there was something Rainer would do with it. Kashel tore it off.
"Uncle must not use this spell." Kashel looks sadly at Rainer, not wanting to lose his precious family. Seeing the spell alone, Kashel was afraid to imagine it even though it was not necessarily the case.
Spells that most others did not want to touch, even missed out on because of the overpriced pay.

"Don't be sad like that Kashel, I learned it's not necessarily using it." Rainer calmed Kashel, stroking Kashel's head.
"Never use it Uncle, forget about this symbol." Kashel said he rubbed his eyes that were about to cry, the only person who cared about his whereabouts made Kashel feel very worried.
"Then, make it a situation where I don't have to use it Kashel." Rainer spoke to Kashel while smilingly looking at her.
"Then, stop being the Boundary Knight of Uncle, live by not doing dangerous things." Pinta Kashel this time.
"You don't have to worry about Kashel, I won't use that spell if I don't have to. Except, to protect the people I consider valuable." Rainer's words lit a match and burned a cigarette that was already in his mouth enjoying every smoke that through his lungs relaxed.
Kashel said nothing. "If it's me whom Uncle considers valuable, please don't sacrifice for me." Kashel then left his seat and went to dump the paper he had torn some time ago into the trash.
However, the one who is very precious to me is you Kashel because you are my precious family, even my life is willing to sacrifice to take care of your life. Inner Rainer closed his eyes, while continuing to smoke his cigarette.
He is reminded of his past, where he could not protect his precious family, for now despite his life stakes. Rainer will do anything to protect someone who is precious to him.

15 Years ago ...
Rainer was very young, he had someone he cared about very much. A woman was pregnant at the time. He is married and has a happy little family in the village.
He is just an ordinary man who lives as he is.
But in the midst of his little happiness, the darkness devoured the village. No one knew why darkness could come to that remote village, until the end Rainer did not know the cause.
Everyone panicked in fear. There was nothing they could do to save themselves. The darkness that devoured the village was like a disaster shaking the whole life that was there. Everyone flew and died afterwards, corpses scattered around Rainer who was protecting his family. He was not afraid and kept trying to run away.
However, his efforts failed and were in vain. His wife died before him as the Spirit of Darkness that shook the village shattered everything like a storm, the Spirit of Darkness was powerful without being. With his determination, Rainer was still trying to fight back and fight to survive and be able to defeat that Dark Spirit, he was just an ordinary person back then who did not have any magic power.
In the end, Rainer's resistance was useless. Rainer was dying then, but the black-robed man came in his last moments of time, his face nowhere to be seen.
"To-please!" Rainer was full of despair, but he did not want to die now.
"I'm sorry I came late to this place." The black-robed person crouched down in front of Rainer.
"I'll try to save you young man. Maybe it'll hurt a lot, and if you can't stand it you'll really die. But there's nothing I can do to help you other than this." His words gave him his energy.
"Goldhenghh!" Rainer groaned in pain, his wounds healed but because of the strength that possessed him it was not suitable for him he became very sick.
It hurts so much, I just want to be broken. Inner Rainer. He kept screaming for a while. There was nothing he could do but feel it.
Slowly the hair that was originally black turned white because of a very strong mental attack and the pupils of the eyes that were originally black turned yellow gold.
That day he was saved from death, but Rainer had no idea he was still human or not after that. Seeing her reflection in the nearby spring water, the color of her hair and eyes had changed. He also felt that a great power was growing within him.
Then the black-robed creature introduced itself, it was the Guardian. Rainer's life was saved by the Guardian and he was given magic power by the Guardian as well.
