Arafura S1 - Darker Than Black
S1 | Chapter I & Gakuin II Fire | Loss of Shelter

Roy Fredell, a man who is calm like a puddle. One of the subordinates of Lord Rinsei Gen who always carried a sword at his waist. The hair was purple and messy as if it did not care about appearance. His eyes were sharp like cold-blooded mercenaries—most think like that when they look at him at a glance. However, there was no way Roy would betray. Let his face be like no matter what, he is not such a lowly man.

Once upon a time Roy was very upset once the academy's circumstances went awry. It was the beginning when the marriage took place.

Roy had already felt an unpleasant aura from the beginning. Her cold face hid her sensitive heart. He can feel the aura faster than others—because of this strange sense Roy blatantly dares to refuse marriage but is instead branded as a traitor by the teacher and sentenced. How unfortunate. A faithful man is treated as a traitor if no one comes to believe him. At least everything came back again once the academy completely collapsed.

However, Roy ended up harboring resentment, resentment, and feeling sorry for the academy's already very chaotic circumstances.

Yusuke Yen too, the one-eyed man who stood beside Roy with a puffed up chest, he really did not accept it.

"I was a fitness inspector for one of the girls." That's what he said.

The girl he trained and protected at the same time, of course, had come under attack when there was great chaos, at least had been pulled, tortured, harassed, and all that happened when Yen was not nearby, when Yen was busy with the chaos that was blocking her.

Of course, that doesn't mean Yen doesn't care. He had run after the girl more than anything—only to ensure the existence of the girl. Five men with dirty faces, not physical faces, but worse than that—like happy full of madness because it has made a girl helpless. The girl was made to remove all the clothes on her body until it only looked smooth white which should not be seen.

Upset, Yen immediately fought the five men with her strength, but instead got a cut in the eye that immediately injured her and fell down.

"He's been taken." so he said. The girl disappeared once Yen's focus was sidetracked. Worse yet Yen did not know the existence of the girl at all. How ironic!

Mr. Rinsei Gen opened a sheet of yellow paper that had been stamped. “Thus, Margavalla—our group has been agreed upon by the chairman of the osis," said Mr. Rinsei Gen but never make the atmosphere change.

Eye after eye was only on the dark floor. Skin by skin only felt the cold of the night. All were silent without comment except from the mouth of the man who was a big body beside Yen. His eyes were indeed not as cold as Roy but anyone who dared to look at him would consider him a mighty man.

"I still wonder and object. What exactly are you planning?" said the big-bodied man scrunched his forehead feeling confused.

His name was Sam Maximilan, he was part of a very unknown ordinary student. His body is big and strong but he is stupid when faced with the affairs of women.

He should have been famous, but in fact failed—at least he himself ever regretted his actions a few months ago.

He's been used like a babu but amazingly he didn't realize it—because his employer, the damn woman, disguised as a girlfriend so that time after productive time he had scorched.

Monsters, cunning women can indeed become monsters, hiding in beautiful beauties, really like vipers! Of course, now Sam realized, he was not stupid, it was seen from his attitude that many asked and different views with others—he turned into a critical man.

Jon knows Sam well, they were both close before the academy's destruction. Unlike Sam, not only his hair is blonde, Jon is actually a male female player because of the advantages of his face.

Not only that, Jon is very smart in enticing to make a decision, not just ordinary decisions, not just love affairs, but the affairs between the stakes of life can be.

Sly man. Sometimes his cleverness is associated with the word cunning. Yes, indeed he is more worthy of being called clever. It's possible that Sam started learning from him—although Jon didn't really ask much except for something threatening, Jon was very serious about it.

Lord Rinsei Gen stood up from his chair. "The destruction of the academy does not mean there is no way to reunite, O Sam," Mr. Gen momentarily looked into Sam's eyes, then turned to everyone, "heard you all! I am a former member of the osis, only two people appointed from thousands of osis who now do not know how his fate. I don't know and don't want to know what your views are on this destruction, but I know your purpose all along, I know your grudges, you know, therefore I appoint you to move with me to be the accomplice of the Chairperson of the ises in this group—Margavalla!"

Jon remembered those words, Margavalla, they were not ordinary words. It is taken from the word Varhalla which means the outside world that is outside the academy fortress. The 30-meter-tall fortress was impossible to climb, very steep and slippery, its stone as hard as diamonds as if it were not the stone of the world. No one knows who made it?

This state of chaos was the first time for the academy that some students had intended to escape to climb the fortress for freedom, but unfortunately their fate was not in line with his mind. Though it has been explained in every lesson about how mysterious the fort. He was taller than the building and never climbed by anyone. Never be climbed, actually approached also should not be. At least two kilometers closer to the fortress, the territory already belonged to the forbidden zone. No one can get through it.

"Over there is very dangerous, maybe monster—unfortunately no one knows," said the teacher, everyone believed the explanation. No one asked "why?" they just continue to live as usual.

"According to the report described by Chief Osis, I am no longer here as an isis, but the leader of this group—" Mr. Gen pointed to the four people before him, "—you are all—Roy Fredell, Yusuke Yen, Sam Maximilan, and Jonathan Atharizz, from now on you are no longer students, nor ordinary people, you are my men who will lead thousands of disciples behind you and will follow whatever you command!"

Everyone's surprised. Yen started to step forward with wide eyes.

"Wait a minute, Mr Gen, what does it mean we're not students anymore? What do-don't—"

Mr. Gen cut in. "Yes, even though all are united, the academy is now gone."

"Don't joke!" his sergeant shocked the entire room, "Aren't teachers supposed to be around at times like this? Why are we leading thousands of disciples?"

Things start to unbalance. This is just like the situation when Mr. Rinsei Gen invited Jon to join—at least Jon already knew everything from the beginning. The guards who were guarding were like confusion, their faces lowered knowing nothing—just fear.

Realizing that, Lord Rinsei Gen sighed. Not knowing what the breath meant, like neither regret nor sorrow. His eyes began to stare at the presence of the four men in front of him while sitting back in his soft chair.

"It's bad news, but you guys—everyone who's here should know. Actually the master teacher council had just been known to have disappeared from the academy."

Roy who didn't care about anything was surprised to hear it. "What does that mean? the teachers? I don't get it."

His eyes were wide as annoyed but knew nothing. Not only Roy, but everything is like that. Not believing and not knowing.

"Yes, teachers," continued Mr. Rinsei Gen, "Three thousand teachers who were in Gakuin Academy tonight reportedly disappeared without a trace. No one knew why, no one imagined also how they could all climb the fortress. Clearly, we are all students of the academy who are now divided, we must move on our own."

All speechless. That's how all the disciples of— feel like it has given birth to a sense of betrayal.
