The Knight Eldania S2
87: Eldania

While walking home to the dormitory, Eldania actually did not stop thinking, in a moment earlier, suddenly a person named Caster who usually only gave a contemptuous smile, but he was not, instead, he gave an unexpected hug with a bright smile. 

[What's the reason he did that to me? He was very close to me, but I didn't know who he was except his name.] Eldania thought, then recalled the flashback of the seconds as Caster raised a little of her hair. Eldania touched the hair that Caster had touched. In an instant Eldania made a tormented facial expression. [What exactly did he mean? It was like he was teasing me.]

Eldania doesn't know how else to deal with an unpredictable person like Caster who likes to appear and disappear at will.

______________

TAPS.......TAP......TAPS................

Caster who chose to walk in the other direction, began to remember the moment where his left hand was immediately pushed aside by the woman, who else if not Eldania.

Caster looked at his left hand, the hand that had touched the soft strand of brown hair. But then his hand was used to cover his mouth with the gaze of a thinking face.

[D**he really doesn't remember at all. ] Thought Caster.

His past, Caster really did not wish for Eldania who would be able to recall all the memories of his past.

Longer old story memories than the era of the demon king when the world was still at odds with humans, monsters, demons, and goddess gods.

Despite having other ways to recover the original memories from his past, Caster was unwilling to have a worse impression. Because the other way he meant it was something that Caster never did as long as he lived in his past life or the present.

[Do I have to remind her that way?] Caster was still thinking with another method that was kept deep in it. 

Still maintaining his footsteps, Caster intended to go somewhere.

But just as Caster passed a 3-story building with white paint that had begun to fade, inside the empty house on the second floor was a long-haired woman standing right by a window, with a flat facial expression that never changed for a second, this woman looked at Caster from that place.

And his existence who was watching Caster from inside the building, then made Caster who immediately felt his existence, suddenly stopped walking and looked at the building with a full search. 

The woman who managed to attract Caster's attention on the road there, finally decided to walk away before being caught.

And Caster eventually ignores that feeling and goes on his way. 

While walking away to get out of this abandoned building, this woman slightly gave one small smile as she muttered. "Master." 

He mentioned his name in a murmur. And in the blink of an eye when this woman was already on the doorstep, her figure in an instant instantly disappeared.

At the same time, Ethan walks alone in the middle of a very quiet atmosphere.

[Really exhausting. It's only been a day in that class, but it feels like it's been months. How could he be at home in such a place?] Ethan, who has now been named Nathan for a day and a half, is frustrated because in his new class he continues to be disturbed. That's because it has a class that is quite noisy and makes Ethan still not accustomed to chaotic conditions like in the battlefield.

A predicament Ethan is forced to accept to become Nathan for an undetermined time. Or will it last forever? Ethan does not know and only thinks about getting through his days in his final year of school at the Academy.

While walking home to the dorm, Ethan had turned to the right side, there was a shop that provides all kinds of weapons. It was the place where Nathan made his own sword and it was here. 

Ethan knew very well the reason why his brother made his own sword was because the budget Nathan received was not as much as Ethan. Therefore Nathan chose to find his own materials to make a sword, as a result Nathan made his own sword here.

"Nathan." With a cold gaze Ethan called out his brother's name in a soft tone. There was nothing he could get except past memories.

Ethan looked forward again before suddenly taking the first two steps, a surprise gift he got.

JEDUG......

"Akh!" Ethan groaned after his chin hit something so fast. Something hard suddenly appeared from below and as it came suddenly, Ethan was immediately hit with a very fair amount of pain right on his chin.

"Lumayan" Smiling bitterly.

Suddenly a voice from someone immediately resuscitated Ethan to glance down. A woman who had been squatting while holding her own head for some time before finally came back to her feet as if the pain in her head had already disappeared in an instant.

Because that unexpected blow was the cause of all the pain they both received.

"Didn't you see the road?" Ask, a little annoyed with Ethan.

"Aren't you alone squatting recklessly in the middle of the road?!" Reply Ethan in a slightly high tone. 

His precious chin was so stained by the harsh blows of this woman?

After seeing the woman in front of him turn towards him, Ethan immediately shouted. "You?!" 

Ethan immediately points to a woman who is a suspect, apparently a girl who was watching his match with Nathan yesterday.

And that was Eldania.

With a sour facial expression, Eldania slightly retreated backwards. Again met with someone, but who is now standing in front of him is Nathan's twin. He met her this morning, but now he meets her again.

[Why is he squatting in the middle of the road like this?] Look at Ethan with a suspicious face, as well as find the look of a sour face of this woman. [Why does he see me like I'm a disgusting person?! Even though my face is handsome, many are interested in me, but why does he look the opposite?] 

"While it is clear, the streets are so deserted. Meaning wrong is you. Are your eyes on the back of your head?" Eldania muttered to Ethan. Then he just turned around and left it.

With a dumbfounded face after hearing the mutter that Ethan could still hear clearly, Ethan immediately gave a warning. "You-you..dare to too huh? I'm your senior!" Telling him that this woman in front of him should be polite to a senior.

"You senior or not for me the wrong person, yes it's still wrong." Obviously Eldania again, ignoring Ethan who was behind him. 

[Is this his true nature?] Ethan immediately shouted to Eldania who went to ignore him. "Stop! Who told you to leave?" ethan says. 

Eldania stopped her footsteps, then looked back. But Eldania was silent while looking at Ethan's face so deeply.

"It was I who told me to get out of here immediately." Eldania replied, looking at Ethan so closely.

JLEB........

Ethan, flabbergasted by the words of this woman who could still serve his words, immediately replied to her again before returning to stay away. "Did you see him yesterday?"

Ethan still keeps his curiosity to this woman, so deliberately immediately ask the main point, because it looks Eldania is very reluctant to hear pleasantries.

"Huh?" With a puzzled face, Eldania turned her body again to face Ethan who had already made a slight distance with her. "What did you mean by that question?" With both hands crossed in front of Eldania's chest really curious what the meaning of Ethan's question, even though he himself already knew the problem of this one demon.

"Have you been watching my game yesterday?"

[He's talking straight to the point huh?] Her thought. Eldania finally nodded at once asking. "Why?" It was as if he still did not understand Ethan's main purpose in asking this.

But on the one hand, Ethan is made to think back finally realizing something. [Aah! How could he possibly know who Nathan is, even if I haven't told him my name, what am I expecting from this woman anyway? ] Ethan completely cursed himself, acting sober with a woman who in fact only met 3 times. 

At this point Ethan has not introduced himself to her and he himself does not know who this woman is.

".....................?" Just overwhelmed by Ethan's thoughtful look, Eldania immediately raised his voice. "If there's nothing else to talk about, I'm leaving." With a slightly cold tone.

"Just a second! Your name! Whose name?!" Ask Ethan.

"Huh?" Eldania slightly tilted her head with an indifferent expression. "What's that all? Do not ask the name of others, if the questioner has not introduced in-" Has not had time to finish the sentence, one loud voice immediately cut his speech with a shout.

" AARGHH...!" 

"That one!" Ethan immediately put on a watchful face.

"Shouts?" Eldania continued, wryly looking for the origin of the voice earlier.

But Ethan, familiar with the sound, immediately ran from where he was standing. Ethan immediately took a right-hand lead into an alley.

Eldania, who did not want to be left after hearing the scream, immediately tried to run after Ethan who ran with his broad strides.

DRAPS...........DRAPS.........DRAPS..........

Ethan continues through the narrow alley, when in front of him finds a wall that is a dead end, not losing his mind, Ethan runs on the wall to the top. Right at the end of the fence wall, Ethan jumped right away.

Eldania who was not so concerned about the barrier fence that towered quite high, immediately climbed into the trash and jumped after giving a strengthening magic to his two legs. In order for his thrust to accelerate quickly, it could make him jump over this wall.

TAPS.....

Behind the wall, the two of them landed on the grass so smoothly. 

Just 50 meters ahead there was a woman lying right under a large tree.

"Huh...huh..huh......, Angela?!" Ethan, say, as the first person to arrive first, Angela, a classmate of Nathan's, now a classmate, is lying on the grass beneath a tree.

Eldania who just arrived, also saw the condition of Angela who looks faint?

"He just fainted." Ethan.

Eldania who did not accept the conclusion from Ethan immediately denied. "This, not just fainting! You have demonic eyes, don't you realize that the inside is dry?!" Eldania warned.

"It's dry?" Ethan, who had only seen Angela with origin, immediately activated his demonic eye. The bitter reality was not as it seemed, in Angela's body, the blood that was supposed to flow, was now like a river that had lost its water.

Eldania then walked closer and crouched down to Ethan's left while explaining a bit. "Prana. The blood in his body was almost gone. If left for longer, he could die." Obviously, with a serious face. 

For him, this was the first case that Eldania saw with her own eyes. Surprising enough, but Eldania could do nothing.

"What! dead?!"

"Hmm.., if I were you, I'd handle it. But the basic problem is I'm human and he's a demon. Because you're a demon, you should be able to help her." Clearly again. "Or do you need an intermediary stone?" Eldania, thinking no further, removed a pendulum mounted on the right side skirt belt, and gave it to Ethan free of charge.

"What is this rock?" Ethan receives a black pendulum pendulum and when noticed, Ethan has a different feeling. When his hand held the stone there was an energy stored quite strongly, but only a small stone along his little finger.

"That's a 'where' rock'." Eldania gave the name of the stone. The 'whichever' stone he gives Ethan is the gift stone from Everst. And because just in case, every once in a while when he had free time, he would turn 'where' stone fragments into small accessories. 

Accessories that if seen will look like ordinary stone, but when touching this stone then it can only be known that the stone that looks like a black crystal, it saves most of 'where' which is usually required in a person's body for a state of urgency.

[What?! Rock 'where' ? A stone of this value, given to me?] Ethan so glanced at this woman beside him suspiciously.

In Ethan's life, what he knew about the 'where' stone was a rare object that was precious enough for the demons, because it could not be found in the demon territory. Even if there is, then the price is quite expensive. 

Realizing Ethan glanced at him, Eldania warned him again. "If you want to let him die, you better give him back." In order to reclaim his 'whichever' stone, Ethan immediately distanced the stone in his hand from the hand of Eldania that was about to be captured.

Seeing Ethan behave like that, Eldania undoes her intention and lets Ethan do what Ethan wants to do to Angela with the ‘mana’ stone.

"I'll change it later." Ethan replied as he clenched his right fist forward, right in the direction where Angela was lying.

"It's just a stone, it doesn't need to be changed." The answer. [After all, I got it for free from Everst.]

But there's something else Ethan thinks about. [He said it was just a rock? Did he not know that this stone was of great value to the demons?] Ethan knew what he had to do, which was to channel his magic energy into the 'whichever' stone Ethan was holding, after which a slightly glowing red light finally gave a result.

"Uhukkis...! Uhuk....!" Angela coughed.

Eldania, who was watching Ethan heal her friend, began to breathe a sigh of relief. [If I do it, it means that I have accelerated his death.] His inner.

There's a walking bomb here that haunts them. That's because Eldania has a holy power, a catastrophe for the demon race. 

Even if you lose one accessory, it is better than seeing the face of the man next to him who looks unsightly.

SHAAA..!

"....................!" Sensing a presence, Eldania immediately turned to the left, where an empty backyard was lined with several trees. 

Eldania continued to stare in that direction as she waited for Ethan to complete his healing to the demonic woman. But it only lasted for a moment until Eldania finally realized something was coming very quickly, was heading towards her.

"That's.....--, watch out!" Eldania immediately shouted to warn the squatting Ethan to avoid. 

SHUHT........

Ethan who was healing Angela, as Eldania shouted, in one blink Ethan turned to the left. And right in that second also the invisible object was already in front of his eyes to kill him?!

But that didn't happen until in the same second one hand suddenly stretched out right in front of Ethan and a sparkle from the sword that suddenly appeared instantly produced a loud enough sound.

CTHANG......

In the next second another sound of flesh that sounded like it was being cut, immediately filled the momentary silence.

CRACT.....

"...............!" In a split second, Ethan immediately saw a splash of red liquid that was blood soaking the grass. "What the hell is that?!" Ethan asked with a dumbfounded expression.

Eldania widened his eyes perfectly, when he saw that his right hand was bleeding and it was faintly seen that a weapon like a small spear was sticking out of his chain wrapped around his arm, and the spear managed to pierce through part of his wrist.

Ethan, who could not believe what he was seeing, reflexively asked with a dumbfounded face. " Why are you....? Wasn't it! But blood....! You're bleeding so hard!" Ethan said with a panicked face. Ethan didn't really understand, didn't understand it was, [Why did he hit the gun for me?] 

[I did not expect.] The tip of the weapon just swiped with my sword Eldania had no idea what he was dealing with was not just a spear, but there was a chain that immediately ensnared his arm, and the result was that he was injured.

The weapon that managed to injure his hand finally disappeared, but not with the wound.

Eldania then stood up, facing the direction where the attack had started.

"Wasn't you feeling any pain?!" Ethan asked, the woman's right hand was covered in blood as if she had just washed her hands with blood water.

"It hurts....., the pain is very severe" replied Eldania, without changing her serious expression.

"..................." But what Ethan saw, Eldania's face was nothing like hinting at a person who didn't feel the pain. But an angry expression, to the point that the glare of his eyes had already given rise to a grudge, a grudge to avenge what he had just received.

The sword he was holding was covered with blood until his blood flowed from the handle of the sword to the tip of the sword. 

When viewed from a slightly distant vantage point, then this girl looks like she has just massacred people blindly, but in fact it is her own blood.

Eldania then took her first step, and immediately shouted at Ethan a little. "Ethan, you take care of him." In a moment Eldania immediately ran to hunt down the person who had made things with him right in these leisure hours.

While Ethan daydreams at the woman's departure with the last message that Ethan received is the sentence with one of the most prominent words, namely Eldania just named. 

 "Ethan?!" Ethan squeals in a murmur filled with a strong tone of emphasis. [D-he, calling my name?! But how? How did he know my name?No, that's not what I'm asking, how can he remember the name 'ethan', if everyone around me doesn't remember it?]
