THE STORY OF HEROES AND DEMONS
Life change

He knew, the magic Hiyo used was dark magic: gravitational space, where everything within the range region of her magic circle would receive the effect of Gravity. That is also the reason why the Carmalin bird fell like it was being pulled by a mysterious force.

After Zen picked up the Rios flower, he came back down to approach Hiyo. While the three Carmalin birds are still stuck below and can not move at all.

"I didn't know you could use dark elements." Saut Zen with admiration.

"I-I can use it, but just this, I'm not very good." Hiyo replied, turning her face away from embarrassment.

Although Hiyo denies that she has a talent in magic, Zen is still happy, where her assumption about Hiyo's potential is proven true.

For Zen this was strange, if Hiyo was a magician who used the elements of fire, water, earth and wind, it was very natural, because all humans had one of the four basic elements.

But the user of light and Dark element magic, is very rare, 1:100,000 human births that have one of those special elements.

If the light element magic is more towards healing and protective magic, but in a higher level than ordinary healing magic. Dark element magic was both space magic and illusion, their presence was always desired by every magic academy.

Zen drew Hiyo's hand as a form of appreciation..."But it's amazing, even I've only seen a dark magic user for the first time."

"Please don't praise too much, I'm ashamed." Hiyo did not dare to look into Zen's eyes, as they were now completely close.

"Why be ashamed, magic talent is a gift, so you should be proud of the blessings you have." Zen keeps forcing Hiyo to change a bit.

And accidentally, their eyes were facing each other, from behind the long bangs that covered the face. Red Hiyo cheeks blush to show Zen.

Quickly Hiyo took off Zen's hand grip and turned around so as not to take too long near a man who would confuse her own.

"So now what should we do with these three Carmalin birds." Hiyo asked evaded Zen's question.

Without hesitation Zen replied..."We'd better kill."

"Wait for me to feel sorry, because these birds just want to protect their nests." Reply Hiyo, where he was not happy when he had to see the Carmalin bird killed.

Zen did not believe Hiyo's words, because he remembered when this girl was enjoying enough food from the grilled meat of the Carmalin bird at the first meeting. But when it comes to killing them, it counts as an inhumane act.

"You should have gotten used to being a Hunter, a demon beast being the source of income you were looking for and also the flesh of a Carmalin bird was delicious. Don't you want to eat it." Zen's words tried to enlighten Hiyo.

It was at that moment that hesitation appeared on the face of the innocent girl, she compared the pity and hunger in the stomach.

"I-I want to, but...." Hiyo couldn't resist the enjoyment Zen gave her yesterday.

"You don't have to see it. Let me take care of these birds." Reply Zen with the sword in hand is ready to do his job.

He immediately flipped his body and the sound of a sword slash as it slashed through the neck of the Carmalin bird accompanied by a clear-sounding scream. Even though Hiyo felt uncomfortable, but she tried to hold back and tried to stay calm.

"All I've put in the storage room, let's go to the calivira flower place." Zen said by patting Hiyo on the shoulder.

"All right." Lemas Hiyo walk.

But in the end, the natural wealth itself being the reason for the enmity between the two kingdoms, there had been a lot of bloodshed between the two sides.

Zen did not want to interfere for this matter.

While in Zen's heart, he still could not understand, why Hiyo who had the power of dark element magic but his reputation in Ser Din city was never known.

Though, if the magic academy knew about Hiyo's whereabouts, they would definitely offer a scholarship for her to study there.

"Hiyo, did you hide that dark magic ability from your friends." Ask Zen.

"Not really, they know."

"It's weird, usually people with rare magic power will be famous, but why do you look like you don't want others to know ?." Zen asked again.

"From the beginning, I wasn't a person who was talented in magic, I was always hesitant and timid, so I didn't want to use it if it would be a problem for me myself." Hiyo's answer made sense.

Since this also applies to Zen, even Hiyo is still better because she knows the limits to her inability to deal with a problem.

As for Zen, he hid the power of the God messenger hero from everyone due to personal desires, he did not want to be a tool for the affairs of Gods and demons quarrels.

"But do you know, your future will be better with that power."

"I don't want to, I don't want my life to change anymore." Hiyo rejected Zen's opinion.

"What's wrong with your life changing, if it gets better, you'll be so lucky."

"Can you be quiet and not take care of other people's lives, do you know what?, saying as if change is a good thing, it may be happening to others, but not to me." This time Hiyo's attitude changed, her voice sounded loud and angry.

For a moment Zen was stunned, when he saw Hiyo's face behind her long bangs that was almost crying and immediately ran away.

Zen feels guilty and tries to improve Hiyo's mood. Looking for where the innocent girl was hiding, until the sound of sobbing was heard from behind the stone.

He walked over and gave a handkerchief to wipe away the falling tears.

"I'm sorry if I say something wrong." Zen.

"I'm just scared, because I never wanted to live the way I do now." Hiyo's voice answered.

Zen felt that if Hiyo had a hard life, he did not care about rare strength or being a great figure, he regretted having lived.

But being a Hunter with Eri, Durl, Senko and Erlan makes it a little bit better, and he hopes to never change.

It is true, change is a scary thing in life, whether it will be better or worse on each side, depending on how we live the change.

For Zen to live in the new world of Dios is a blessing, even though many problems occur, but Zen does not want to regret. So it was inappropriate for him to give an opinion to Hiyo, without ever knowing the life that the girl had.
