The Story of the Wind Wanderer

The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Reaction Element #2


So quiet time with beautiful views of green expanse in this country. The young man seemed to be enjoying his free time very much, a completely quiet time without any interference from anything. The man used his free time to play around with the wind that was loyal to him. Several times he raised his palm slightly, and then followed by a gentle gust of wind, carrying a green leaf that then landed right on top of the palm.


Without saying or chanting, just with the gaze of both irises beautiful black eyes. A leaf that was on his palm slowly lifted up slightly with a small wind twist and felt soft. But not for long, a leaf was torn and crushed into small pieces like dust in a matter of seconds, and then those small pieces were blown flying along with the wind.


"What about something heavier?" the young man asked, speaking for himself. He then took his old apple that was almost finished from his pocket, and then put the fruit on his right palm.


The young man took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. He seemed to be trying the same trick as he crushed a leaf into tiny pieces like dust. Again without saying anything or saying anything, a gentle breeze came back and felt, but now surrounded his body.


The gentle wind continued to spin and get louder, before then the wind that blew moved gathered right around the used apple that was on his palm. Slowly the apple was raised and slightly higher than the previous leaf. At that moment also a gust of wind around his body slowly gathered around the apple that floated above his palm, to make the form of a used apple is quite difficult to see because the wind is getting louder.


Slowly but surely, within a few seconds later, his used apples were cut into small pieces, even smaller than a dice. The young man immediately smiled happily at what was happening before his eyes, especially when he saw the pieces of the apple now in his palm.


Pt ... Pt ... Vht ...!!


Hearing the sound of footsteps slowly climbing up the steps of the tower, the young man immediately looked back and prepared for all possibilities if the person who appeared was not a good person. But the intention was immediately undo when he saw a figure that was very familiar to him.


"God, I've been looking for you everywhere, it turns out you're here" said a man in the royal knight's casual armor.


"Why are you looking for me? Isn't today a day off for me?" said the young man, leaning leisurely on one of the pillars of the tower.


"Indeed, anyway. It's just .. it feels .. I can't leave the responsibility that's been given to me" the man dressed as a royal knight told the young man.


"Go back to the palace, Kenan ...! Enjoy your free time! Don't worry, I can take care of myself" the young man told his interlocutor.


Kenan, or his full name is Kenan Va Valeeqa. The dark-haired man was 19 years old, and had the role of one of the royal knights, as well as carrying the mandate to become a bodyguard or aide to the young man. Kenan can be said to be new to carrying out the task or trust, because only a week he became a personal bodyguard.


"But, Your Majesty. I-i-"


"Don't call me that, I don't like formal speech!" sahut the young man sighed.


"Sorry" said Kenan with a slight bow of his head.


The young man only smiled faintly and said, "already, there's no need to ask ma-"


DUAAARR ...!!!


An explosion suddenly sounded from the city center, and it was shocking to even cut the young man's words. A few seconds after the explosion was heard, many royal guards rushed to the scene, responding to what was really happening.


"What's going on?" asked the young man, looking towards the center of the city, and from a distance there was a puff of black smoke slowly soaring high.


"Maybe robbery? If it's not wrong there is a jewel shop," replied Kenan.


Without making small talk, the young man jumped from the top of the tower and landed perfectly thanks to the help of the wind that was loyal to him, before he finally ran towards the scene. Of course the sudden movement was very surprising Kenan who saw, especially himself as a bodyguard, but was left behind by his master. Kenan immediately rushed down from the tower through the steps, and then ran to catch up with the young man.


Not long after, the young man arrived at the scene, and it was true what Kenan had said before. A gem shop was being robbed by three black-robed people, and it seemed like they were experts at controlling magic. The place was already surrounded by guards, but they had enough difficulty to move against and subdue the perpetrators, due to the constraints of skill.


"Wait a minute, this can be very dangerous! I beg you not to be too rash ...!" said Kenan, finally arrived right next to the young man.


The young man along with Kenan for a while only looked from a distance, from behind the crowd of people who also witnessed the incident. Criminal acts like this are common, especially in the city center. However, it is very rare for such criminal acts to be committed by people who have expertise in the field of magic.


After obtaining the loot, the three perpetrators attempted to escape with their expertise. One of them looked like he was picking up something, before a huge ball of fire emerged from his two palms that were slightly raised. Seeing the danger, the people who were around immediately tried to escape looking for a place to take shelter.


"What did the security of the royal magic do? Where are they at the moment?" muttered the young man, looking furious once, let alone seeing the potential increased danger.


"They're on their way, one more minute until." Kenan answered the question.


"There is a place that will burn" said the young man, and then immediately ran to interrupt the crowd of people who were running in the opposite direction.


The young man ran towards the direction of the jewel shop, surrounded by a gentle breeze that was blowing around his body. As he ran, he said, "i'll use it, but don't get too big of a scale, yeah ...?" he said speak for himself.


A few seconds after speaking so. The wind around him instantly blew, and grew louder as his footsteps ran closer to the three perpetrators. The fireball made by the perpetrator grew even bigger, before finally darting towards him. Realizing this, the man stretched out one palm forward, and then created a wisp of wind that blew very hard. The wisp was extremely large, even larger than a fireball that was flying towards him.


Collision was inevitable, and at once the wind belonging to the young man involved an elemental reaction with the fire he hit. The fire grew even bigger than the surrounding buildings. But the fire did not spread, instead surrounded by a wind barrier that blew very fast and higher, and limited the spread of fires that could have occurred.


"What's going on?!"


"No way!!"


"Who?!"


Seeing something that they did not expect, certainly made them surprised and unexpected. Especially with the reaction of elements between wind and fire that should make the fire more burning and spreading. But in this incident, the fire did not spread, instead it was locked by the wind around it.


"Whoever you are, but I think you deserve punishment for what you've done." The young man walked leisurely, slightly turning from behind the wind he made, and then slowly approaching the three perpetrators.


His gaze was sharp, both irises were beautiful black eyes that now seemed to have a very creepy impression, harboring a desire that could finish off or kill anyone in front of him.


The eyes of each of the perpetrators instantly widened, shocked by what they saw. They seemed to have not expected to come face to face with the young man. Not wanting to fight, they instead chose to run and try to escape. The movements of the three of them did not get a response from the young man, who actually looked calm and relaxed.


"Where are you going? Really rushed?" chirped the young man, asking with condescending intonation the three perpetrators. But they did not care what he said, and continued to run away from the scene.


But unfortunately their steps stopped because the barrier wall made of wind that blows very hard upwards. One of them was desperate to break through the barrier. But unfortunately, the body of the perpetrator who broke through it immediately scratched and made him bounce until he suffered a broken tailbone. Both hands that had touched the wind barrier first had to suffer very heavy injuries, even he had to lose some fingers.


"Free, if you are reckless to break through it, your lives will be wasted" said the young man, looking as if he had no mercy at all, especially when dealing with a criminal.


"Ba-good! Okay, we're giving up! Please forgive us, Your Majesty! We still want to live!" instantly they immediately knelt down and bowed right before the young man, regretfully.


Seeing that his opponent had raised a white flag or surrendered, the young man took off the wind barrier magic that he created, and made everyone outside the barrier to see and enter the scene. The royal guards responded immediately, moving in unison to the location after the barrier was removed, and then subdued the perpetrators. Not to forget, they were also seen to have lowered their heads in front of the young man when walking past him.


Kenan immediately approached the young man and then said, "you are so reckless! As much as possible do not leave me, if anything happens to you, I will be punished."


The young man chuckled and then spoke, "sorry, sorry, I was too furious to just shut up and watch."


Amidst the conversation of the two of them, a man in the uniform of the higher-ups of the Zephyra Royal Sword and Magic Academy walked up to the two, before then staring intently at the young man.


Seeing as well as realizing the figure of the honorable man, Kenan immediately lowered his face and greeted, "good afternoon, Your Majesty."


"You ... really reckless ...! What if something bad happens to you!" said the man, firmly to the young man.


The young man lowered his gaze and then said, "sorry, the end .. You guys are taking too long."


The man then smiled faintly, then stepped closer to the young man, and slowly hugged him as he said, "thankfully, what matters is that you're okay."


"But, Altezza, you better not leave Kenan, yes ...! He's new as your bodyguard, pity if you're willing to leave him," said the man, then smiled and briefly glanced at Kenan, before finally looking back at the young man named Altezza before him.


"Ba-well, Brother Welt," replied Altezza, then sighed.


The man was named Welt Zafran Zeeshan, aged 20, and had the role of a superior and principal of the Royal Sword and Magic Academy of Zephyra. In addition to his role as an academy official, the man also has the role of an older brother from Altezza.


"Okay, now ... how do we clean up that fire ...?" cetus Welt, then turned his head and looked towards the still burning fire in the middle of the wind barrier made by Altezza.


Altezza chuckled as if innocent. But the man had no dead-end ideas. He immediately spoke up his idea by saying, "use water magic, and I will use my wind for the elemental reaction to extinguish the fire ...!"


"All right, let's get it done!" sahut Welt, pulled the sword from its sheath hanging on his waist, and then enveloped the sword with water magic that he mastered. As for Altezza, he prepared with a faithful wind with him.
