Arafura S1 - Darker Than Black
S1 | Chapter II _Hear IV | World In Memory II

The four masked men surrounded Intan. One of them was seen giving off a yellow envelope. They then had a long dialogue, from the look of Intan looks very serious as if it is important.

"I already know what the letter is about. They invited Intan to enter the secret group. But, you know, what's the most interesting part of it?" Elijah sounded serious.

Jon shook his head, "don't know. What's what?"

"The closing of the letter says 'gakuinia water' in it."

"How is that possible?!" Jon's surprised.

"I don't know either. What is clear, it seems like the academy's revolutionary system has long been concocted by someone. Did you ever suspect, why Air Gakuinia and Fire Gakuin can be so easy to stand up in just one night? This should be impossible. The creation of the Academy system was not that easy, let alone without a large meeting."

Jon's eyes were silent at the seriousness of Elijah, different from the memory of Elijah who could only be silent looking at Intan. His face was worried, like he was helpless.

Jon turned to look at Intan, he was still in dialogue with them. Jon thought about something.

"Elia, do you think Intan agreed to the invitation?" Ask Jon without turning away.

"She left then, it was certain she accepted it. But—of course I still can't believe it. I want to know the truth—"

"Without you finding out the truth, I think what you feel is true" Jon's cut surprised Elijah.

"Why do you think that?"

Jon's gaze turned to Elijah's eyes. "I don't know how close your relationship is, but when I see her happy face with you, that's enough. It seems like he has his own reasons for that."

Elijah down. Mouths mute.

"Explain to me," continued Jon, "did you join the secret group after this?"

"No," he replied, "at that moment I wanted to go with him, but I was afraid. I kept myself locked up in my room until someone came to pick me up."

"Someone?"

Suddenly Elijah raised his hand. A bright light came out from between the fingers and palms. Two of his fingers he snapped so that Jon and Elijah were no longer in the horse carriage, his whereabouts moved into a room that looked messy.

It turns out that history has been jumped. The view turned on a room window, now the rain changed. The room feels hot and stuffy.

"Where is this?" Ask Jon.

"This is my room. Let's look under the bed."

"Bottom mattress?" Jon followed Elijah's words.

When Jon was startled when his gaze had spread to the bottom of the bed, he saw Elijah lying down like he was hiding. Her eyes and cheeks were flooded with tears. His mouth was silent, not one bit making a sound. Her hair was so messy as if it had been tormented for a long time.

The sound of footsteps could be heard from behind the door. The door opened slowly revealing a brown haired girl. White skin is so beautiful. His face was filled with worry.

"Elia, I know you're here. Now please listen to me" said the girl, "I'm not one of them, therefore I don't know anything about their plans."

"LADER!" Shouted Elijah's memory from under the bed and sobbed, "you said before that you knew about it. Don't you think how valuable Intan is to me?!"

"I'm sorry, Elijah, but I have no other choice. At the moment many illegal groups are walking in the shadows, I'm afraid something big will happen. Therefore, I created my own group as much as I could," the girl looked sad, "i promised Elijah, I will seek information about the group that kidnapped Intan. Therefore, join me."

Instantly the time stopped again made everything remain silent like freezing. Elijah stopped him by flicking his finger back.

"Do you know who he is?" Elijah asked as he pointed a finger at the brown-haired girl.

"Your friend?"

"You could say that" she replied, "she's Listyana Airia, the girl who became Queen and symbol of the resurrection of the Gakuinian Water."

Jon was stunned as if in disbelief. It turned out that Airia was beyond her expectations.

"Wait a minute, I still don't understand," said Jon, "was the Airia group originally not an illegal group?"

"No, the group is right. It shouldn't be possible to end up in a split."

"In that case, why is he the leader? Didn't he contribute to the split?"

"It was all wrong, Jon," Elijah explained as he walked to the window, "after Airia invited me, the next day I joined. There was also Viena so we became close friends. You know right, Viena can read the future as long as it's close to her target? That time he used it on Airia secretly."

"What did he get?"

"Airia will be framed and made a bride. He was framed a few days before the wedding. After a failed marriage, Airia is put to sleep in exchange for being murdered. It seems like no one wants to kill him—at least I also don't understand what the reason is," Elijah explained with squeaking eyes, "but there's something most important, 'a leader from among the men in the eastern academy could wake him up, ' he said."

"That's 'Master Gen?'"

"Yes, just him. At first I didn't know because I thought the person in question was someone other than him, but Mr. Gen had been dreaming about Airia. One day she will kiss Airia's lips to wake up from her sleep, but before that happens, she needs to survive many obstacles. Therefore, the current me and Viena will be loyal to him."

"Wait a minute, what kind of hitch do you mean?" Jon asked seriously.

"Murder," Elijah replied as Jon was surprised, "you may already know who it is, but there is one thing you may find difficult to accept. Romenia Ankara, your friend who is now in prison, she will be one of the obstacles."

Jon was silent.
