Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Strong Determination of Gerda
This incident occurred when Luna just started a training session for Azure, Gerda, Mellynda, and Danny to catch up with Zeeta's ability. After the four begin to get used to the extremes of Luna's "other world" and after Gerda tries to raise a seed directly into the tree, a clone talks to Gerda. "I congratulate you for fighting so hard" he said, "before we go to the next training menu, I have to tell you and you have to tell me something. Sit down first." Luna's serious expression made Gerda follow him without question. "Is that magic to you after seeing all sorts of things in Aurora?"
The question forced Gerda to think for a moment in order to get the answer. "Magic .. I think is a simple force that can help the life of Man. Although not all of them were adept at cleaning, the existence of magic in the world existed on that basis. Uncle Arthur always taught us to keep trying even though we were not proficient and only small....
"The reason is, when we grow up, we will definitely go on a very rocky path if we don't train him early on. At first, I didn't really understand it, but now, along with the fact that Zeeta is the Princess, she's much bigger than us....
"I feel .. Magic is stupid. I once thought that without magic, we could still be engrossed in doing our daily lives in the village of Lazuli. Magic ... has taken away our freedom." Gerda clenched her hands tightly.
"So, yes," Luna replied, "then, if you consider such magic, why do you still rely on it to protect Zeeta? Without magic, you'd be powerless, even you'd only make Zeeta even more depressed if you died."
Gerda didn't think that far. "So-about that...." He was unable to answer it and simply turned his eyes down.
"If you blame magic, then you've misunderstood everything that's going on around you."
"What does that mean?"
"Magic is a power that can be used by every creature, even plants are sometimes able to clean. If you blame magic, you mean blaming all living beings who have to take refuge from war, whether large-scale or small-scale war, with magic.
"The problem lies not in magic, but in the conflict there is always tied to magic. I give an example, the problem that happened to Azure, is a grudge against the nobleman who burned his village scorched.
"Zeeta becomes the Princess and protects all of you because it is one part of her obligationthe strong protect the weak.
"Magic is the power that exists to build the world, not to destroy and bring conflict to every corner of the world.
"Lantas, why would Feline's future predictions say Zeeta would destroy the world?
"The answer is very simple. He has lost so many people, that what you think of, is also thought of by him."
Gerda clenched her hands.
"However, just imagine yourself as Zeeta. The responsibility is so great and it is hard to be held alone.
"For example ....
"If what you think was also thought of by Zeeta, and made her pinned the desire to remove the existence of magic from the world, even if that means the whole world becomes her enemy?"
Gerda slips. He immediately understood it. "Pe-war...?!"
"That's right." Luna nodded. "The older the world is, the worse it gets. The creatures that live in it are also increasingly contaminated. A plain and whiny person like Zeeta can also be a very vile person.
"Therefore, as someone who has known Zeeta for a long time, you have an important role to play by her side. You must remind him of your actions that magic is not to destroy, but to live the world."
"There really is a way I can do it...? I-I'm not even comparable to him!"
Gerda painted her smile. "Please train me!"
......................
Returning to the battlefield, where dark clouds still enveloped the sky and hid the sun, Gerda who had just arrived there was immediately cornered by the many Banshees who had suddenly appeared since Suzy flicked her fingers. The Banshee-Banshee wears a tattered gray dress with the same appearance as the early Banshee— as the peyot woman who is very thin from head to toe. Their long hair was a messy back like never styled at all. With such an appearance plus fiery red eyes that were all fixed on Gerda who was carrying Ashley who was unconscious with her wind magic.
His heart was beating very fast. The wind also worsened the situation, making him unable to think clearly. "W-what should I do...? Do I have to back off...? Ta-but ... What about Danny and Eclipse? I can't fight while carrying—" Gerda stopped her inner thoughts. He immediately gritted his teeth and sharpened his gaze.
"It's my turn to protect Brother!" he exclaimed, "if I retreat, I am not the Crescent Void who protects myself, the family, the kingdom, and especially Zeeta! If I retreat, I won't be able to prove to Zeeta that magic exists to support the world! I don't know what happens next, I'm not gonna back down!" the magic wand glows gold. Then, he waved it towards Ashley. "Breezes!" the wind that enveloped Ashley immediately rushed back towards the direction Aurora was. After that, he looked into Suzy's eyes. In response, Suzy smiled.
"I like that look. You choose to conquer your fears. Whenever his time, Man has always been like this. They suddenly get a piece of courage just from a little memory .. and end up horribly," Suzy said, "well, at least I really appreciate your courage. Instead, I will tell you something very important to me, so that you have a chance to defeat me."
"He obviously underestimated me and was confident that he would not lose to me." Gerda said.
"You must be wondering about my clothes that you rarely find." Suzy flicked her laboratory robe. "It has something to do with my power. You know, in my home kingdom, Nebula, there's a special place to research magic. It was called the Demolish Laboratory.
"Thanks to our research, the Nebula kingdom became very advanced and rapid. My goal in the Nebula was to help the Yggdrasil Seed candidates there to grow more easily.
"But baby, he's worse than I thought. In fact, even the Spirit Yggdrasil who contracted with him was not what I expected. Worse, everyone in the lab changed the purpose of his research for their own sake. Not only them, but the king as well.
"So, I can't help but eliminate them all this way." Suzy raised her right hand, followed by her index finger. A giant ice ball was formed, then he lowered his index finger. That ice ball must be able to freeze whoever it hits. However, Gerda did not remain silent.
Gerda throws her wand into the sky, hitting the ground with both arms to pull Danny and Eclipse into it with the help of magic. Suzy is pleased with Gerda's response, but Gerda is not done yet. He threw all the Banshees around Suzy with his arms fluttering in the wind, and then brought up a wall of dirt that pushed his victims as far away as possible. Then, Gerda stomps her right foot which raises a cliff of dirt, causing Suzy to crash into her own ice ball.
Assuming he can overcome his own attack with another attack—, which heats himself with his aura—ia was actually made surprised when he would hit the ball, the ball was split in two. Suzy looked down and found Gerda smiling. "Damn it! He split his ball when he threw his stick, didn't he?!" inner Suzy grumbled.
Gerda patted both hands, then caught her wand returning by itself.
'BWOOOMM KRAK KRAKK'
However, there is something unexpected Gerda happened after that. As soon as Suzy was squeezed into her own attack, the Banshee-Banshee began to shout her wailing screams.
"Agh!" erang Gerda, "why?! Nothing happened before!" he held his head. "I-I have to protect myself from this scream!" with his gasping breath he made an earmuff and added effects to the sound. He immediately put it on and the pain, weakness, and difficulty moving before began to diminish. "While I haven't seen what they can besides that scream, they've been terrible enough! Unlike the Phantasmal or Hollow that Zeeta had fought, with a scream capable of giving a lot of debuff at once to his opponent's mentality and strength, they could take the lives of anyone other than Crescent Void and Zeeta easily!
"It's a good thing I've been hiding Danny and Eclipse. I am also grateful to have been given this weapon ... otherwise...." Gerda looked at her magic wand. "Well, then..what should I do next...? What are their large numbers that affect the effect...?
"No! Put them aside first!
"Suzy definitely couldn't possibly be injured just with such an attack—no, she could definitely regenerate! His surprised expression was enough to make me sure!" Gerda gripped her wand tightly.
