The Magic Of Akademic
171 - Change II
Amdara is still waiting for an answer from Inay's tiny lips directly. His perception of seeing his other friends go to the Strange Master's residence without Inay and Inay who were with three other students made Amdara think so.
Inay's expression changed, he smiled obliquely and opened his voice, "What do you think?"
Amdara fell silent, observing Inay's expression. Exhaling a long breath. There must have been a problem that made this change.
This time there is no greeting each other, asking news or telling stories for several days without each other's presence. They were silent for a while before Amdara finally opened his voice.
"Is there a problem?"
He asked, still watching Inay who was moving closer to the window. Inay snorted, without turning his head saying, "hmph, you understand correctly. The problem is there to make us distant."
Inay clenched both hands. His eyes were sharpened at that moment. His throat felt choked. His feelings become unreasonable to explain what is felt.
Inay glanced at Amdara who was not sitting. He took a deep breath and said, "You know what? Honestly speaking, it's very annoying to live in this Academy without you. Moreover, am I not here just to accompany you on a mission? Not studying at the Academy. From the beginning, I never liked them. All I did was because there was you"
Inay laughed a little. He sat at the window looking forward, soothing but not with his feelings now. His heart was burning when he returned.
"I can't possibly ruin the friendship between you. Where you're a protector and a hero to them." One leg is raised, placed on the other leg. Inay said cynically, "hey, don't you feel that they're just using you? You know, if a friendship isn't just flavored with protection? But 'mutual' helps. Have they been helping you all this time when you were in trouble? Then a friendship is one that shares stories, instead of holding each other and never revealing."
Amdara clenched both hands. He should have remembered how Inay once wanted to return to the Organization. It was just that time Amdara was in a worrying condition. The white-haired boy took a deep breath. Only a few days later their friendship was broken and not due to lack of communication. Somehow it would have been if he had gone for three years or more to train.
In the end, they are indeed difficult to put together to become truly whole friends.
However, Amdara never felt like a hero or protector. He only helped who he had seen first, there was absolutely no intention of becoming a hero. He only does what his heart thinks he whispers. Hearing Inay's words, Amdara captures one thing that Inay feels he is being used, not forging a friendship whose story protects each other and shares the story. Is it not their right to tell stories or not?
"It's their right if they don't want to say it" Amdara stood up. Approaching Inay who immediately turned his head and screeched.
"Well, it's also your right not to tell your true identity. However, I am still confused until now about them. Why do they have unique powers? Luffy, you know what my real character is. After I searched through these few days, the background of your friends was unclear. Something must be wrong, I'll find out later."
"Sir Inay," he called. Amdara already felt Inay was too wary and this misunderstanding should end. Amdara without a tone asked, "what's just because you don't like them, you think everything we've done so far wasn't a friendship?"
Inay twisting lazy eyeball. His intention was only to help Amdara make a much better friend, having a clear background. Not like 'they'.
Fifteen minutes Amdara has not yet opened his voice. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Unexpectedly, saying something that made Inay almost made a fall.
Inay was made to cough violently right then and there. Staring in disbelief at this white-haired boy. He opened his voice with high intonation, "what?! So you're saying I don't like them because of a disturbance in thinking because it's no longer a purification of the soul?! You're really outrageous. Then what about you? Aren't you stubborn in certain circumstances, too? You are also no longer doing soul cleansing!"
Inay shook his head. Squeezing the chest whose heart felt almost dislodged from the spot. He snorted in annoyance and continued speaking.
"I'm fine without purification of the soul. Anyway, I don't like them. You're really getting a little shitty after being gone for a few days. Heh, listen. I'll prove 'your friends' are dangerous one day. And all this time you've only been used by them."
"I'm waiting,"
"Since you're my junior brother, I'll help take care of this and after, I'll go straight back to the White Eagle Organization. Take care of this mission yourself."
"I'll be gone, three years or so. Still trying to carry out the mission of Elder Bram."
Amdara's last words before he made a portal, entered it without looking back where Inay's expression changed.
Amdara appeared at his previous place upon entering the Academy. He exhaled a long breath while lowering his gaze. Inay's words were still ringing in his mind. Is that a friend? Is it really their friends who share their stories? Amdara stared blankly ahead. Amdara actually does not mind his friends do not tell personal problems, after all he also did not tell them anything. However, he hoped that this relationship would not end just like that. He hoped Inay could resolve and understand it himself.
Amdara shook his head, he should not be complacent just because of trivial things like this Now he must focus on practicing for three years, while continuing to carry out the mission of Elder Bram. When his strength suits his will, he will go to the outside world and directly search for the whereabouts of his parents.
That afternoon, Amdara just continued to stand on top of the building. Watching the Academy students do their own activities. No one was aware of his presence, it was indeed luck. If anyone knew, it would be troublesome.
Dusk greeted the earth, there Amdara just silence. Closing his eyes, feeling the power of nature flowing continuously from noon on.
Shi had just come, with a cheerful look. Having not had time to tell what was done, Amdara had already made a portal and asked Shi to enter it because it was likely that Elder Haki would realize they were not in the forest.
They appeared in the forest not far from Elder Haki's residence. Directly darted away to each other's homes before going to Elder Haki's residence.
Shi noticed Amdara's cold face, but he said nothing because Amdara was cold as usual.
"This is the first and last. We will not return to the Academy before three years" Amdara said before darting away to the house provided.
Shi flinched, he stared at Amdara's back. Himself furrowed his brows, it seemed that his friend was indeed being struck by heartbreak. Shi shrugged his shoulders before he went to his own house to clean himself up.
