The Magic Of Akademic
89 - The Dream Landscape of Amdara
In the coronation room, the Official Elder was no longer around. He teleported looking for Elder Bram. While guarding Amdara now is Orion and his colleagues. They repeatedly checked Amdara's condition, which sometimes weakened his heart rate, and his body grew colder.
The afternoon came, the Official Elder had not yet returned to make Orion and the others made confused as to what to do.
In the front field of the Academy, the Three Great Master Teachers had floated test papers. The participants lined up neatly with a riled up feeling. Guru Kawi began to read out the values of each participant and give the group a grade at once. The names began to be read, some got grades below fifty, and directly directed Master to the other side of the line. The group that did not get a score of fifty down, heaved a sigh of relief. While the group that got the fifty score less looks to blame each other.
The first class c group was read, almost no one believed in the words of Guru Kawi.
"I seem to underestimate the inner bond of friendship." Teacher Kawi smiled towards the first-class group c. He started talking again. "Tone, seventy. Rinai, seventy. Atma, seventy. Inay, seventy. Aray, seventy. Dirgan, seventy."
Suddenly the situation was made boisterous. Dirgan stared in disbelief at Guru Kawi who then read the value of other participants.
The atma also appears to choke on its own breath until it coughed in disbelief. He said, "w-is that true?"
Aray opened his eyes and mouth and immediately shook his head. "I'm not too close to you. How could Guru Kawi say ...."
Inay hits Aray's stomach instantly which is immediately fended off. Of course Aray was surprised by the actions of Amdara's friend.
"What's not close?! Haih, we are a small group of monsters. Struggling to improve personal name and class, you know ...!"
Inay this time pinched Aray's waist that did not have time to avoid moaning in pain. He said, "hey, stop. Ouch!"
No one cared about the behavior of the two boys. Rinai sat down, she was crying. Maybe what Guru Kawi said was right. They have a pretty close friendship. During these five years, Rinai felt they had never been this close. In retrospect, the arrival of Amdara and Inay did bring a good change to them.
"Makhakhaka. Us, escaped? It works? Three successful times in a row?" Tone looks in disbelief. He held the doll tightly.
Chuckling but her tears escaped from the eye. No matter the names that are still called Guru Kawi.
Dirgan remove a drop of water coming out of the eye. He smiled then nodded confirming Nada's sentence. He said, "an effort that does not betray results."
Atma jumped up and looked very happy. He said this all because they were confident in themselves and in the group. The strength of friendship he first felt.
"We should celebrate!" said Atma excitedly and embraced the other.
"But ...." Aray turned his eyes to another place. The look on his face that was originally happy was visibly troubled by something. He said, "i'm not disturbing your mood. But are you going to have fun while our first friend is in bad shape?"
Dirgan, Atma, Inay, Rinai, and Nada instantly flinch. They had almost forgotten Amdara who was in excruciating pain. Their faces became sad because they remembered how Amdara struggled.
"Why does every Luffy get into trouble we're not on his side?"
Dirgan's words made her friends feel strange feelings and remember Amdara's kindness all along.
Atma. Remembering Amdara's face made her clench her hands. Dirgan's words are right. They were always not on Amdara's side when the boy should have had their help. Amdara had helped them, but it was felt that Atma and others had not helped Amdara.
Inay felt so too. Remembering the first mission, the incident at the inn where Amdara sacrificed his life to save friends. While Inay himself could not save Amdara at that time which made a big problem come. As a result Amdara got a Red Yarn that is difficult to remove. Amdara became weak and could not protect himself. All their travel paths lead Amdara to the problems she faces herself. Inay was supposed to be able to protect, but he was also too weak and could not be next to Amdara.
Inay gulped. He clenched his hands when he remembered Amdara was always in trouble at every step. It was just that he covered it with that expressionless face.
Guilt was also felt by Rinai and Nada. Both of them remembered how good Amdara had been all along.
The originally joyful atmosphere instantly changed drastically. Aray exhaled and said, "we'd better see the state of White Hair now."
Dirgan nodded in agreement. They finally decided to go to the coronation after the event was over.

The sound of the flow flowing quietly accompanied by the coldness that one felt made him open his eyes slowly. The clarity of his blue eyes was almost exactly the calmness of the white cloudless sky. The white-haired boy sat down and circulated his gaze around.
In front of him the blue river flowed quietly amidst the green trees. He was not seen any animal or creature other than himself. A foreign place as well as a place that makes it calm. The sound of the leaves of the trees because the wind becomes the sound of increasing calm.
"Where is this?"
However, he must remain vigilant. He got up and walked towards the calm river. The wind was waving the hair she was wearing.
"Next ...."
The soft voice of someone from behind the boy who was none other than Amdara immediately turned his head.
A beautiful woman, dressed in a black robe with a dragon-like complexion stepped closer. Her wavy white hair was being waved by the wind. Blue crane-carved hairpin attached. She wore a thin veil, but Amdara could see the beauty of the woman. His black eyes looked faint, staring at the old Amdara.
Feeling no danger, Amdara was still unmoved. He was too dissolved to see that graceful woman. Like I've seen it but forgot where.
"Who are you?"
Amdara's question made the 30-year-old woman smile sweetly. He stopped a step exactly one step from the boy in front of him.
"You don't know me?"
Amdara did not answer. His calm mind instantly turned chaotic. A soothing voice at the same time felt pressing made Amdara rewind the steps. He held his breath for a moment as the woman advanced and without warning reached out to touch Amdara's face.
There was no rejection from the boy. His originally cold body began to warm up to get that slow touch.
"You really don't remember me, Dara?"
Those black eyes looked disappointed. He rubbed his smooth white cheeks slowly.
Amdara shook his head slowly. Suddenly he missed someone. He said, "do you know me?"
