The Magic Of Akademic
67 - The Forest of the Spirit

"Is that right?"

"Aray, so you've been looking for us all this time?"

"I didn't expect. Aray, you're so worried about us, aren't you? Just honest. We're not gonna laugh at you. Aiya, do you love us so much?"

Without warning, Atma lunged at Aray and shocked everyone. Moreover, Aray who is not ready, now gets a close hook from Atma.

"Damn it! Remove body! I'm not worried about you at all. Absolutely not ...! Stay away ...!"

"Let me hold you. It's a sign of affection as a friend, okay?"

Aray's hand was locked until he could not move by the smiling Atma. She feels happiness because it turns out Aray is so attentive to classmates.

Amdara who saw before his eyes turned away and said coldly, "shameful."

Dirgan as the class leader is obviously also very happy with Aray. He will not help Aray who is now in rebellion.

While Inay, Rinai, and Nada blink with Atma's behavior on Aray who now looks reddened face.

"Atma, you're dropping my pride ...!" Aray's hand slipped off at the steering wheel unseen, making the tool they were riding in sway. Aray shy and angry said, "get away, damn it!

"Whoa-wh!" Because the tools they were riding swayed, Atma hit the side of the tool. He grimaced, feeling pain in the head. Moreover, Aray's screams make his ears long feel ringing.

Amdara confirmed his sitting position. He clucked, as the longer the water current seemed to start surging unnaturally. His initial intention was to say the unexpected to divert the subject, but Aray and Atma wrestled with each other and almost hit Amdara's feet if he did not retreat immediately.

Dirgan laughs instead, this rare occurrence really makes him happy as well as shaking his head. Don't want to interfere.

"You guys, stop! Oh gosh. Aray, take control of this thing. Ouch!"

The huge shock made Inay who was not sitting properly until his stomach and kissed down. His nose even spits out blood.

The tone holding on to Rinai also hit his second head and almost fell backward if not pulled quickly by Dirgan.

Atma is now under Aray who has now managed to lock his hand. "Damn it! Atma, you really ...!"

"Ouch! Aray, let go of your hand! It hurts, you know ...!"

Unfortunately Atma's face was even pressed by Aray until the boy had difficulty breathing. Instead of heeding, Aray even more pulled the hand of Atma up and did not care about the tools they were riding out of control, very quickly hit the current.

"I don't care. How dare you drop my pride! Feel this ...!"

Aray tickles Aray's soles until he laughs unstoppably and asks to be let go. However, just as suddenly a huge shock occurred, the tool they were riding on unexpectedly turned around. They also fall upside down.

"Ouch! Nose!!"

The situation where Aray is now at the bottom, and hit the previous bottom. He felt his nose ache as Atma's head hit hard.

Amdara is the same. His head collided with Aray's side. Amdara grimaced, the pain was good.

"Atma! Get rid of your feet ...!"

The saddest was Inay's face, which had been crushed by Atma's feet. Inay until he felt the unpleasant smell.

The circumstances on Rinai and Nada are both inexplicable. Because Rinai was in the armpit of Nada somehow until it could be so.

Dirgan himself is seen kissing the bottom of the pedestal with his stomach. He clucked in annoyance, because he thought this was an unfit position for a Class Leader.

This wouldn't have happened if Aray hadn't let go of the wheel. The tool without a rudder was crashing at an immeasurable speed. Even Amdara felt his heart thump harder, as if his soul was left somewhere.

Amdara turned to look, right into Aray's face and said, "Aray, control."

Aray also turned his head, and immediately nodded. Before that he snapped at Atma to get away from him.

"Bocah, move! You're heavy, you think women, huh ...?!"

Atma covered her ears that were ringing because of Aray who was shouting loudly in her ears. He soon wakes up, but the shaking again occurs resulting in Atma returning to its original position and making Aray even more angry.

"Hey, I said get out of the way, damn ...!"

"I'll also wake up, but the shocks keep happening tofu ...!" Atma shouted back.

Aray clucked, using his power he lifted Atma and threw it right beside Dirgan. Atma grimaced in pain, she rubbed her head.

Aray tries to get up, to control the device he is riding. Amdara also did the same, but he struggled until he fell several times and hit the wall of the tool.

When Aray managed to stop the device, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief. Waking up slowly, still feeling the pain.

The feeling had actually been felt by Aray and Inay, but both chose silence. Aray checked outside, he did something to make the device open.

Still said quite early in the morning now, the cold wind can be felt Amdara up to the bone. There was no sound, the silence made Amdara swallow.

"We're up."

Aray's words made Amdara immediately stand up, and look outside. Clearly Dirgan, Atma, Inay, Rinai, and Nada were jolted to hear it. Since it did lose speed control, they were faster to arrive.

There was no sound flowing, when clearly they were still in the river. A forest with a different aura welcomed their arrival. The towering trees, as well as the large roots, did not appear to enter the ground. Wild grass and some strange plants.

Only Aray and Inay see, while others see nothing because it is dark, including Amdara himself.

Rinai and Nada embrace each other in fear, the atmosphere is quiet and it is very liked by both, Dirgan, and Atma who do not seem to hear the beating of their own heart.

Amdara clenched his hands. He circled around saying, "what strategy are you up to?"

Aray looked forward and at that moment a black smoke appeared and immediately made the bodies of the seven boys surrounded by black smoke. They flinched back, but did not refuse. Because Aray knows better what the next plan is.

"It's so dark. How can we find herbs?!" Atma said loudly, she made Aray stare intently.

"Diminish your voice."

Aray immediately said back in a soft voice but his friends could still hear, "you think finding rare herbs is easy? Look, this is a good opportunity because the sun hasn't come up yet. To find these three plants, we don't have to look at them."

Amdara frowned confusedly and asked, "then how do I get it?"

"We just feel, smell the distinctive aroma of herbs, feel the texture and are sure what is picked is really the herbal plant to look for."

Atma answered seriously. The answer was taken by Aray who did not expect Atma to know this.

It sounds weird and absurd, but it's the truth.

"And you must not let out a loud sound nor give off the slightest light."

Amdara understands. He looked ahead with a feeling that tried to be believed.

In contrast to Rinai who issued a small stuffing and said slowly, "huhuhu. I fear. I don't want to go into the woods. Huhuhuhu."

Tone tightens embrace. Give tranquility. And said, "k-khakha. I'll protect you. You take it easy."

The quiet atmosphere was indeed enough to make goosebumps. Dirgan as the class leader feels fear for Rinai, and she must not force the boy to go into the forest.

"Rinai and Nada wait here. Take care of this transportation. Let us go find that herb."

Amdara agreed. He also did not want to force his friends who were scared to death.

Aray pulled over the tools they were riding on and got down immediately. He said slowly, "alright. There's not much time. We quickly look for the three types of herbs before sunrise."

Because it would be more dangerous if it was discovered by one of the people from the black flow organization. Although the moonlight was not visible that morning, but this is better. Because they can hide. And this is one of the wonders according to Aray in the Forest of the Spirit, that the air of one's existence will feel very faint at night. Different during the day which is within a radius of tens of kilometers can still be felt the presence of someone.

Everyone agrees with Dirgan. Aray immediately closes the door to their teacher's strange transport, Rinai and Nada enter.

Now the problem is, they don't see anything at all. Even Aray asked Inay not to use the power to see the situation around. Obviously Inay was confused, but he did not say.

"We'll split the two groups. Class Leader Dirgan and Atma go with Nana. If anything happens, then Nana will take care of."

Amdara understood, if they searched together it would take a lot of time. However, this decision is also very dangerous even though there is no other way.

Amdara said without a tone, "if so we use this to tell others that it should be gathered at this point immediately."

Amdara gave a strange eagle-shaped object, and gave one to Inay who immediately knew what Amdara meant.

The object will turn red if pressed, and other objects will also turn red. Got a little explanation from Amdara, Aray, Dirgan and Atma immediately understood.

No one protested about group division. They immediately left with careful steps.

This spirit forest was in the territory of the black stream organization. Even so but rarely anyone is guarding in this forest for whatever reason. And very rarely there are people who are not from the organization come to the Spirit Forest even though there are several types of herbal plants.

The Forest of the Spirit or better known as the forest that many herbal plants have their own story that is enough to make anyone goosebumps.

As the name implies, this forest was once a virtual dump*, and terrible stories began to circulate when one of the people who died horribly in the Forest of the Spirit for some reason. One of his friends who managed to escape spread the issue, and it has been proven by people who did not believe before.

The forest of spirits from story to story, is inhabited by spirits or rather the spirits of people who have been banished in this forest. Whoever sets foot in the Spirit Forest, then any misfortune will befall.
