The Magic Of Akademic
38 In the Early Dawn

In the forest, the sun is visible when the day comes. The cool air, as well as the calmness, made Dirgan and Atma immediately go like they had three days to hunt small animals. While Rinai and Nada go looking for vegetables or at least get tubers.

Inside the hut only lives Inay, Senior Fans and of course Amdara who is still unconscious.

Inay just told me everything after the friends left. He started it when he first entered the Earth Nirvana Country as Senior Fans had requested. Fans said he had been in the country not long ago.

"I thought Dara was going to take the portal somewhere else. But unexpectedly, the portal had instead entered the Sky Cloud Academy."

Inay remembers very well the first time in his life getting into trouble almost every day. Especially when getting punished

whips.

"Senior know? Me and this boy are suspected intruders and spies! Geez, they even gave the whip punishment."

Inay massaged his head as he remembered it. He did not forget to recount the circumstances of Amdara at that time who received a major wound, and saved him from the final whip. From obtaining a low grade, and getting into trouble from the Disciple of the Cloud Magic Academy, to carrying out missions from Elder Bram, it ended with the story of how they could be separated.

There was something Fans wanted to ask about a woman who almost obliterated Inay but she paused because Inay didn't stop telling stories.

"Huh, once Dara realizes we're going back to the Academy."

Unexpected events, until the lives were almost taken let alone they brought four friends who could not issue power was obviously very troublesome.

Fans are not exhausted, they are determined to live a fairly difficult mission. Moreover, Inay's four friends could not bring out the power.

"But until when was Dara unconscious?"

Inay's question made Fans take a deep breath before replying. He saw the Red Thread at Amdara's growing spiritual core.

"I don't know."

Inay knows, Amdara is special. Amdara who was supposed to be strong but somehow could lie down like now. Even Senior Fans could not help more.

"What really happened to him?"

Fans are hesitant to tell Inay Red Yarn but somehow later Inay will take care of Amdara if he knows the situation is not good.

"He got the Red Yarn at his spiritual core."

"Red Yarn?"

"Mrs. The point is Amdara's hard to absorb the power."

Inay never heard of Red Yarn. Just hearing him alone made Inay know that Amdara had trouble using force as well. To heal internal wounds by themselves will take a long time.

Inay asks how Amdara got the Red Yarn, a stifling answer from Senior Fans makes Inay again curse himself who could not help Amdara at that time.

Seeing the change in Inay's face, Fans said, "don't blame yourself. Now you need to be stronger."

Inay nodded. "I'll be strong. Never mind. Senior, you rest. Let me take care of Dara's spiritual core."

Last night, fans don't sleep. He continued to guard Amdara's spiritual core using his power. Although Fans are used to not sleeping, but their strength is reduced only to maintain the spiritual core. Plus earlier he had unleashed a great power just to obliterate a woman.

"You think I'm weak?"

"No. But you better have a break, too."

"alright. You take care of Dara. I'll catch up with your friends who say they're 'hunting'."

"Eh?! Senior-!"

Senior Fans sped up quickly without listening to Inay. The black purple-haired boy clucked in annoyance. That stubbornness, not only Amdara had but most of the White Eagle Organization disciples had the same attitude.

Fans floated, looking for Inay's friends who were seen from above hiding in the bushes. In front of the two boys, a small white animal was eating grass. Fans watch before landing.

"On the count of three, we'll catch him."

Dirgan gave a warning, he counted down. The two jumped together, on the count of three. Hoping for the rabbit to be caught, the two felt a dizzy head from the collision and the rabbit jumped away.

"A-oh, my head. Oh my goodness ...."

Atma rubbed her head. Same with Dirgan. "Don't let the rabbit go far. Catch ...!"

Even with their heads still dizzy, the two ran staggering after the rabbit that was getting farther away.

"Dirgan, try another strategy!"

Atma almost tripped over a large tree root, fortunately she could balance the body.

When he clenched his hands, his brain had to work faster. He picked up a small twig and threw it at Atma, who was captured immediately.

"Throw it right to the right of the rabbit!"

"What?!"

"Hurry up!"

Atma immediately threw the twig, and the rabbit jumped to the left which Dirgan had calculated. He ran to the left, when the rabbit would be caught slipping. The rabbit just got away.

"Ack."

Dirgan stood back up, he looked annoyed. Though just now was a golden opportunity for him, but he failed.

Atma similarly, he ran with irregular breaths. Two strategies that Dirgan made failed. The Atma thought of no other way. Three days in the forest, when hunting always Dirgan who make a strategy. He just followed Dirgan's orders. Many of the previous strategies failed, but there was one that succeeded. Something just passed over him.

Instantly Atma stopped running, and held his breath. The one that just flashed above him was Dirgan who used the tree roots coming out from above to hang on and darted towards the rabbit quickly. The speed of the rabbit is equal to the speed of the rabbit. In the right position, Dirgan released the handle and immediately caught the rabbit. It worked!

Atma who saw it looked excited. He immediately ran over to the Dirgan Class Leader.

"Haha! Finally got caught!"

Dirgan turned around, and immediately handed the rabbit to the Atma who was in front of him.

"You dare-!"

Dirgan dropped to the ground. He's a pale face. "H-huh. That was so scary. I thought I was going to die."

Atma who heard it squinted one eye. Just now he was praising his brave friend, but fortunately he missed a single letter.

Atma caresses the head of a rabbit. "You're the class leader, you have to be brave of the others!"

Atma shook her head. Start praising yourself. "Well, I can't be as brave as you. But I'm handsome, right? I will be protected by many for being handsome. Haha."

This time it was Dirgan who blinked one eye. "You're a man not a woman."

"What's wrong with a handsome man being protected?"

"That means you're not a real man."

"Tsk. Rather than you, who immediately trembled after swinging just now."

"Hey, but it's better than you want to be protected!"

"P-uncle Fans?"

Dirgan immediately stood up, he and Atma were struck by the arrival of the flat but handsome human expression. The same expression as Amdara, and Cakra.

Atma once thought that Cakra was part of the Amdara family that had a flat expression.

"Uncle, what's coming here?"

Atma's question made Fans glance towards the rabbit. He then spoke, "you're great at catching rabbits."

Whether it was a compliment or the fans were underestimating the two boys, but Dirgan considered it a second option. Fans knew from Inay that they could not bring out the power, and Fans could see their spiritual core and body was stuck.

"You want to hunt again?"

Atma and Dirgan stared at each other, as if discussing through the eyes.

"Y-well, I don't think this bunny is enough for dinner." Atma smiled clumsyly.

Fans nodded. They both went looking for animals. Dirgan initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Atma's head, she could only exhale.

The deeper into the forest, the more different the weather. And only a little sunlight entered through the gap of the towering tree with the dense leaves.

A Silver-colored Deer Demon was eating grass. The size of seven adults, large and it makes Dirgan and Atma difficult to swallow.

"Watch it well. I'll show you how to fight the basics."

Fans sped up after saying so, while Atma and Dirgan went straight into hiding in the bushes. Lucky they didn't meet a more savage demon.

The arrival of Fans in front of the Silver-skinned Deer Demon made the Demon stare intently and watch out for the humans in front of him.

Fans use wooden twigs to fight. He directly attacked, looking for the Demon's weak spot. A fierce battle ensued, the Demon used its power and strength to attack the Fans who had taken a defensive stance.

No blood has yet been drawn from either. Fans will certainly use a way so that the animal does not die with blood blushing.

Sword Technique. What fans are showing now is a basic sword technique. If Dirgan and Atma can do it, it will certainly be very profitable for those who cannot issue power.

"Great."

I was amazed to see every move so beautiful. Like a calm but deadly stream of water.

Fans hit the neck, abdomen, and nose of the Silver-skinned Deer Demon hard and fast but did not bleed. However, it was enough to make the Demon cry out in pain. The Demon Movement was getting more and more agile.

Fans did the same a third time faster, obviously using his power against this Demon was nothing. The demon glared its eyes, its cry held back until it collapsed lifelessly.

Dirgan and Atma are approaching soon.

"Is he really dead?" Atma touched the Demon's skin and hid behind the Fans.

"Mrs. He's dead."

Dirgan stared in disbelief. He ventured to touch even hit the Deer Demon with vigor. Atma who saw him laughed, he followed along and jumped up and down on it.

This time it was big. They will eat full today. The three returned to the hut after resting for quite a while. Many of the questions raised by Atma and Dirgan were answered briefly but clearly by Fans.

"Uncle-"

"I'm not married yet. Call me Senior Fans."

"Ah, okay."

Fans take a long breath. At first he had no problem being called 'uncle' but over time he was upset himself.

Fans, Inay, Dirgan, Atma, Rinai, and Nada were burning the game. They went around the fire, the faces of the boys sparkling as the meat had just ripened. Although it does not taste as good as canteen food, but it does not matter. As long as they could still eat, it was well worth being grateful for.

"Pam-Senior, when did Luffy wake up?" Tanya Dirgan interrupted herself eating meat.

Senior Fans stabbed the venison before replying. "Not long." Fans are not sure of their own answers. But to calm them down, speaking so was no big deal, was it?

Fans also said Inay tonight did not need to guard Amdara's spiritual core. Because he thinks Amdara will be fine.

"Aiya, how sorry for him. Hah, when Luffy wakes up, he'll look for me before you guys." Atma said confidently. "Well, because this brother is handsome than the others."

Inay throws the vegetable right into Atma's flinched face.

"There was Luffy unconscious again seeing your face."

Inay's words made others laugh except for Fans and Atma themselves who were upset.

"Sad. You're a shitty girl. No one will marry you. And in that moment, even if you crawl to want me to marry you, don't expect. I will refuse!"

Inay who was chewing choking meat. He coughed, Nada gave water and patted Inay's back.

Fans who were just about to put vegetables into his mouth immediately stopped. He blinked, looking at the shameless Atma saying so.

"You ...!" Inay held back the anger. He secretly used the strength in his hair to wrap around Atma's body lifting it up at its best.

Atma dropped the meat. He thrashed but Inay wiggled his hair until Atma felt dizzy.

"H-hey, let me go!"

Atma held his head. His heart was pounding hard, seeing how high Inay's hair was lifting.

He laughed while shaking his head. Rinai said, "huhuhu. It turns out Atma was afraid of heights."

The giggling laughter. "Makhka. Atma, you're a coward. Khaksha."

Fans flinched, friends Inay and Luffy quite unique.

"I won't let go before you apologize."

Inay smiles. Continuing to eat meat without caring for the nagging Atma.

"After Luffy wakes up, we'll go back to the Academy, won't we?"

Dirgan's questions left Atma, Rinai, Nada, and Inay speechless. They suddenly remembered the woman who would take their lives cruelly if they were to leave this forest.

Dirgan fell silent with the words that were thrown away just like that. He drank water, then looked down.

Fans do not know what kind of situation it is now. What he saw now was the fearful expressions of the children including Inay.

"The woman ...."

"I killed him."
