The Magic Of Akademic
138 - The Road to the Haki House

Amdara went to his room, but Inay did not leave. Seeing the arrival of Amdara, Inay's face was already beaming, because it had been an hour more Amdara left and just returned must have brought good news.

Inay immediately asked about any reason that was able to make the Elders agree to Amdara's refusal to attend the Tournament. Unfortunately Amdara sighed and sat down in one chair. Amdara's headband made Inay widen his eyes, and asked Amdara's intentions.

"Senior Fans are coming. He agreed, I have no choice."

Amdara's words were like swords piercing Inay's soul right then and there. Inay sat down in front of Amdara while asking a lot of questions. Hearing the new Senior Fans coming to the Academy certainly made Inay surprised instead of playing.

"How can Senior agree to it?! Does he have other plans?!" Inay till he hits the table. His face was still filled with shock.

However, Amdara instead took one rabid nut. He shook his head and said he did not know what plans their Senior Fans had made. Amdara peeled the beans, ate the seeds and removed the skin.

"I have three years to go on the mission of Elder Bram." Amdara swallows the chewed nuts. Then it went back to saying, "in the Tournament, if I meet the Black Spirit I will eliminate it directly."

Inay leaned his head against the chair. He closed his eyes for a moment before taking a deep breath. What Amdara said is true. Now what Inay thought was how could the Fans approve of Amdara to enter this Young Magic Tournament?

"I wish you'd come back saying you made it, but instead Senior Fans came and agreed. Hah ... what happened to this fate?!"

Inay pursed his lips. He took a pissed breath, and picked up the boiled beans. Opening and eating the contents quickly, as if he was venting anger on the beans. While continuing to eat nuts, Inay continued to talk non-stop. Still not accepting with Senior Fans approval.

Amdara just quietly listened, while occasionally answering his ass while eating boiled beans. Amdara's face was expressionless, but in fact the white-haired boy had a lot of problems at the moment. First is to have to help Cakra to create a portal, on the other hand he must try hard in order to be stronger to participate in the tournament. Thinking of the person who could release the Red Thread, as well as the arrival of Senior Fans. Amdara no longer listened to Inay's complaint that night.

The morning before bringing the sun is present to shine on the earth with warmth. Amdara had cleaned up, after cleaning up his room that was chaotic because last night Inay who was very upset to throw peanut skin carelessly even Inay's body moved Amdara to design because he fell asleep on the floor with a prone position.

Someone knocked on the room door, Amdara immediately opened it. A disciple saluted and said that this morning Amdara was being waited for by Elder Haki at his residence. Amdara nodded in understanding. After the student's departure, Amdara's eyes turned to the bed where Inay was still fast asleep. The number of problems he faced must have been quite exhausting.

Amdara took out a paper and pen. He wrote something for Inay. The inscription read, "Sir Inay, I trained at Elder Haki's residence. You practice well."

Amdara exhaled while looking at Inay. He darted through the window to where the Elders were.

On the river bridge, Cakra was seen standing there with a girl from the Upper Third class. She was named Shi, had a jade-white face with a tinge of red on both cheeks, a petite pink-lipped, and a sharp-nosed face. Shi looked perfectly beautiful in Amdara's sight until he was amazed. Moreover, looking at Shi's blue hair that decomposed long backwards, decorated in such a way.

Amdara landed as Shi waved his hand. Amdara had indeed never seen Shi before, he had only guessed that the beautiful girl was Shi from the Upper Third class. The new Amdara was about to salute, but Shi just suddenly immediately embraced it familiarly. Just making the white-haired boy blink.

"Your name is Luffy, right? No matter how the other students look at you. When the Elder has chosen you, I believe you are stronger than the others" Shi blatantly said. Then he smiled. "Greetings, yes. I am Shi from the Upper Third Grade. You don't have to call me 'senior'. I'm very young, only sixteen."

Amdara flinched, it felt disrespectful if she who was younger than Shi mentioned the name without any 'senior' word'.

Shi then invites Amdara and Cakra to float away regardless of Amdara's surprise about Shi who seems to know himself and is so familiar. Shi was indeed different from the other disciples. This was the first good impression he made of his underclassman.

Amdara was increasingly amazed. It seemed that Shi had a friendly personality and was also a little chatty. Shi said that he did not expect that he was chosen as one of the Academy representatives. There were still many disciples stronger than him. Shi also said that it was very surprising that Amdara and Cakra were chosen with careful consideration from the Elders.

"Luffy, congratulations on your group's victory."

Amdara smiled faintly, she then thanked him for this compliment of her senior. Shi said, "I remember when you suddenly appeared and pulled out the flag. Haih, do you have the power to create portals? That's so cool!"

"Senior was too complimentary."

"Aiya, I told you not to call me senior. Being between the two of you, if you call me 'senior', I will feel very old. You two just need to consider me a peer, okay?"

Amdara shook his head while smiling faintly. It seems that in this three-year training will not feel bored because there is a Shi.

Cakra said nothing. He just listened without any intention of going to the sound.

The actions of both Shi's underclassmen made him laugh while shaking his head. He watched Cakra and Amdara's facial features alternately before saying a speech that made Cakra and Amdara jerked.

"Oh, you guys are really sparing humans to talk, yeah. But that doesn't diminish your admiration. In fact, I think it adds its own charm to others."

Shi smiled, before finally shaking his head. It seemed like he was the right person chosen to melt this icy atmosphere.

Amdara fell silent, he glanced at Cakra for a moment before turning his attention forward.

"Senior is too much,"

Shi raised his eyebrows next to hear Cakra's words. He then said, "I told you not to call 'senior'. Tsk, what's excessive? I'm just saying my thoughts."

Shi exhaled. He then turned his head to the side where Amdara was just muttering.

"We will use a shortcut to the residence of Elder Haki. Luffy, do you know that the Elders' residence is really far away?"

Amdara turned his head while raising his eyebrows. He then shook his head. As Amdara knew, the residence of the Elders was in the Academy, which was a large building dedicated to the Elders. Hearing Shi's words, it seemed that Amdara did not know much about the Sky Cloud Magic Academy. Well, it's only natural that he's only been here for a few months.

Shi then explained without hesitation that the actual residence of the Elders was not in the territory of the Sky Cloud Magic Academy, but rather was outside of the Academy. The place of the elders is also different. That's why Shi said they would pass through a shortcut to be able to go directly to the Elder's residence.

Shi brought Amdara to the Academy gates. There were three Gate Guard Disciples on duty. One of them is a senior who was once used as a guinea pig by Amdara using his homemade pills.

Shi, Amdara, and Cakra landed seamlessly. The Gate Guard disciple who knew Amdara looked surprised. He was just about to open his voice, but Shi was already charging over.

"Senior, we want to go to Elder Haki's residence."

The three disciples who knew that Shi, Amdara, and Cakra were the chosen representatives of the Academy, the three seniors were amazed especially to Amdara who was very young. Their views are beginning to change.

The three Gate Guard Disciples nodded. The three of them immediately joined hands. He closed his eyes and said something that Amdara did not understand. A light appeared above the three disciples, an intricate pattern seen spinning slowly. Please note, that only the Gate Guard Disciples can only create a combined portal to be able to directly go to the Elders residence.

Amdara who saw it was flabbergasted. He had not expected it to turn out that anyone could create a combined portal. Surely the impact will be greater than the portal he made.

"Come in. And be careful on this journey" one of the Gate Guard Pupils said.

Shi nodded, he immediately flew up and stopped when he was right under the light pattern. In the next second he disappeared.

Amdara then also darted without a second thought, followed by Cakra in the aftermath. After the three boys had just left, the light instantly disappeared and the three Gate Guard Disciples seemed to let out a long sigh. They directly regulate breathing. In fact just making the portal just now was extremely draining of their strength as it required a high concentration so that they could truly ensure the portal made could ensure the residence of the Elder.

"Be careful, the Elder has set a trap for you~"

One of the three disciples was amazed. She subconsciously said, "Shi is indeed very beautiful and also friendly. But Luffy turned out to be very young her beauty was already visible. She was cold, but I liked her. Well, I don't actually want to praise Cakra. But he is handsome. Huh, being near two pretty girls must be fun."

Both of his friends heard him blink. One of his friends said, "you don't dream of being a representative of the Academy. Even though the three disciples were just beautiful and handsome, wouldn't you ever get them? Just keep that taste of your love."

Another friend agreed. Then issued a sentence that made the two colleagues surprised instead of playing.

"Murids like you will not be looked upon by either. Moreover, Luffy is beautiful and also talented in many ways. Do you guys know? The pill I was given said it was bought. But I still can't believe it. It could have been Luffy who made those pills, right?"

The light was a portal that should have directly brought Amdara, Shi and Cakra to the front of the residence of Elder Haki directly. However, in fact they were in front of a forest full of demons.

Shi was clearly shocked, he circulated around. Although the sun still shines on the earth, it looks into the forest like there is no glimmer of sun. Moreover, the atmosphere was quiet as well as the wind that brought an unpleasant feeling.

"Why are we here? Shouldn't it already be in front of Elder Haki's residence?" Shi clucked.

Amdara who doesn't know just circulates around. From the aura he felt, there were indeed many Demons in the forest.

"Is the Gate Guard Disciple wrong to send us?"

Shi's gaze turned to Cakra as if asking for an opinion. Cakra shook his head and opened his voice, "it seems not. Maybe this is our form of exercise."

Shi blinked at the opinion of this underclassman. When he realized he was shocked.

"So you're saying that the first exercise we should be able to get through this forest to get to the residence of Elder Haki?!"

The brief nod of the Cakra had already made Shi limp. He bit his lower lip anxiously. Because in the forest, there are not only one or two demons. The number of demons in this forest makes people not willing to deliver their lives.

"W-how is that possible? It's too dangerous."

Shi did not feel himself to be weak at all. But at this time he was not ready to lose his life because of the demons they might encounter later. Shi shook his head, wanting to ask Cakra and Amdara for them to leave from here as well couldn't. Aside from the great distance to return to the Academy, Shi was also unwilling to look weak in front of his two underclassmen.

"There's no other choice. Come on." Amdara drifted, slowly approaching the forest without hesitation.

Shi who saw him again widened his eyes in disbelief Amdara had such courage.

Shi shouted, "hey, Luffy! Don't you know that in the forest there are many demons that are thousands of years old?! Hurry back, or you'll lose your life ...!"

"We're just back. Better do this first exercise."

Cakra said then he also darted which made Shi grow surprised and yelled calling his two underclassmen. However, Amdara and Cakra did not care at all. Shi took a slow breath, he shook his head.

"What have you guys done? You guys are really troublesome. What if there is a demon stronger than us?! In the blink of an eye we'll be dead."

Shi gulped painstakingly looking ahead. He clenched both hands before finally hovering and slowly approaching the forest. His mouth could not stand still, he continued to grumble indistinctly to Amdara and Cakra.

The pressing aura was deeply felt on the bodies of the three boys. The mystical feeling began to feel. Moreover, the forest was completely deserted, like it had never been touched by a single human.

The three boys began to be vigilant. Be prepared at any time if something is odd. Amdara landed on one of the branches of the tree, he raised next to his eyebrows when he felt a strong air was heading towards them. Shi and Cakra landed on one of the twigs, they circulated the gaze.

"This aura is a ten thousand year old demon."

Shi's words had already taken Cakra and Amdara by surprise. The two boys clucked in awe because just by sensing the aura, Shi could already guess the lifespan of the upcoming Demon. Their faces look serious. When suddenly the wind felt very hot around.
