Arafura S1 - Darker Than Black
S1 | Chapter I | Tawan Fire Cold as Water

Jon smashed into the table in front of him empty-handed. The frustration was unstoppable once it received such an unsettling report. His hateful fangs repeatedly appeared to come out along with his clenched hands. "I can't believe it! Mr Gen is taken prisoner? Fuck them!!" His red eyes turned like flames of hatred, slightly becoming dark as if wanting to give off an aura of darkness. Her blonde hair was no longer beautiful, her facial skin was dominated by wrinkles so that it shifted her good looks into a look of cruelty.

Not only Jon, but Sam is the same. His eyes just stared at the floor without thinking of any possibility. "This is beyond our expectations. What is their reason?" Of course no one realized that. No one knows. All of a sudden, Mr. Gen held a closed-door meeting with Mr. Rom and Mr. Rubby. Ah stupid! Even though the situation is unstable, all the stupidity can happen when narrow!—at least everyone is sorry.

Jon hits the table again. "of course! That Roman traitor just wants to rival us! Didn't Mr Gen ever tell us who Mr. Rom was? You know that, right?!"

"Calm stupid!"

Near the slightly open door, a Sam stared intently at Jon's excessive behavior. "Can you think a little calmly? You're just making things worse, Jon." Continue Sam.

"You know how else! Mr. Gen is no ordinary person! He's our supreme leader! You know that, Sam!" Annoyed Jon. His eyes really looked oppressive.

"Fuck you, Jon!" Sam's lured. He grabbed the collar from Jon's clothes. "I said calm down! Are you the only one who's upset? Everyone is upset too, you fool! If you keep going like this, it'll just make you speculate, it'll just bring us new bad luck. Relax slightly! Jon!"

Behind all the chaos, Roy faces him with a cold head. In front of him directly a man who had delivered the message—that man was a special servant Mr. Gen who worked as a chariot coachman. The man was indeed a little frightened to the point of sitting under pressure. Roy reached out to the man. "It's not your fault. Calm down and explain to us in more detail." Roy.

"T—Tapi—" The man still quivered in fear.

Roy smiled a little. "Calm down. You are a witness to this incident. We'll make a decision according to what you're explaining, so tell us to get things right."

"B—Good. I'll explain more details."

The rain is worth hating. The afternoon wind was cool but the sunlight was completely dimmed. Wet soil since yesterday— has not dried up at all until now. The unfriendly weather will only make everyone choose to remain silent behind the roofs of their homes. The doors of the house are tightly locked leaving no traces or traces of life. As for those who have nothing, just sitting on the side of the road with a look of fear, their mouths seem silent from talking about a way out of the problem except just complaining, he said, their bodies were shivering even though they were wearing blankets—really poor students. But that's not what Jon's thinking. He really hates everybody! When it was supposed to rise up to rebuild the Academy, many trash disciples chose to quietly hug their own knees in front of the campfire. Maybe even they don't know that Mr. Gen is being held captive—Jon really hates that! It was difficult to do much and the narrowness of the circumstances that forced him to be bound in the knot made Jon could only ponder beside the garden, sitting on a chair while feeling the speckle for the speck of rain. "Coldness—ah shit. Why is all this happening—sial!" Her tongue clenched while bowing its gaze. Her blond hair was already very messy, like a man who did not pay attention to appearance.

Jon this time felt useless. In addition to the strength of his good looks, he is actually very clever to manage the situation. I don't know why, it's a little different. Jon is fed up with the academy's stupid state of affairs, as if unable to move. Those stiff legs aren't what they used to be. Beautiful uniforms with super luxurious shoes, usually worn together and walk to enliven the road with yel-yel. Uh! It's the past! The academy was already in an age of stupidity when the school collapsed, let alone the teachers disappearing leaving the students in chaos! Teachers are everything to this academy. Actually Jon used to be a student who was famous for being clever and handsome because the teachers were beside him. They always give praise and instill advice so that Jon does not get out of control.

"But now they don't exist!"

Jon this time himself. Just lamenting the weakness. The world has turned to the powerful. Smart people, handsome people, everything that was beautiful in the past seems to be garbage.

A black-haired man and wearing an eye patch next to his injured eye his name Yen— as usual always comes with a sense of responsibility even though he is not the chairman. "It turns out you're here, Jon. I've been looking for you everywhere."

"Why look for me? There's Sam and Roy, right?"

Yen momentarily fell silent slightly sighing. "You're this— as usual selfish. I feel the same way, anyway. Upset, can't do anything. Anyone would be tormented in this situation, wouldn't they? Why is it that you're always the only one feeling helpless?"

Really spicy words for a size of circumstances like this—not—for a truly selfish Jon. Jon was an emotional man, but that was the bright spot of his heart's loyalty. Yen believes in that, so Yen always took the time to where Jon ran to isolate himself.

The waiter was—lelaki who became a special coachman for Mr. Gen— explained that Mr. Gen was originally invited to stop by Mr. Rom's castle. Of course Mr. Gen refused, however Mr. Rom was his enemy since the academy had not collapsed. But the coachman could do nothing. "Suddenly someone hit me in the neck. I also passed out at the place of— so reawakened, no more traces of Mr. Gen." Hearing that sparked outrage for the Margavalla group, all worried because Mr. Gen was the supreme leader who received the mandate to rebuild the academy. Jon intends to deploy special forces to ensure the existence of Mr. Gen, but it is immediately fended off by Sam.

Sam speculated with a serious face. "Sending troops will only create new problems for us. Right now, all the students might be depressed. It's a moral issue."

Yen understands that. "really so. Nor can we prove that Mr. Gen is indeed being held captive. At least—"

"Too excessive?" Jon hits the table back. "What is excessive! Why are you all melting! Shit, even though we just received this post but—fucking Rom! He used to be the former vice chairman of osis—"

Suddenly Roy hits Jon and then strikes him with cynical eyes. "I don't care about your good looks. Turns out you're stupid. Clear your mind."

All speechless. Jon who had been very chaotic finally ended up alone in the park lamenting with a speck of rainwater. His face had already tangled in place of his good looks. Her blond hair was a mess, like it wasn't Jon. His red eyes were already extremely sharp, like the eyes of a murderer. Jon did intend to bring a lot of troops to bring down the power of Mr. Rom. It was a superficial thought, but it was just that poor Jon could do nothing as if he had no power. All the steps seem to be just a gambling board— carved a step but do not know to win or not.

Ah already! Jon immediately ended the chaos of his thoughts. He scratched his head hair so roughly that it made it messier. His mouth cried out in a loud voice despite ending up lost again swallowed by the calm voice of the rain water stub.

"So, have you calmed down?" Said Yen beside him, he just stood as if waiting for Jon to calm down.

Jon took a deep breath. "Either why, maybe this is due to the rain water stub as well but—ya, I am calm, even though I am still a little upset as well." He answered while turning his gaze from looking at Yen's eyes to an insect that landed among the beautiful flowers.

Yen smiled seeing that. "good. This time and until the end, I want you to be able to hold back anger like this. Even if you can't stand it, get out of the group."

Nature is mysterious. His heart began to slowly become calm as he glanced back at the surroundings. This park is very colorful. Beautiful flowers, clean garden environment—this condition has not changed from the past academy.

"So what's their plan, Yen?" Jon turned serious.

Yen smiled with a serious look. "Roy volunteered. He'll move with his three subordinates."

"I'm glad to hear it." Said Jon. "I bet, even though he's a cold person, he's better than me."

Yen laughed hearing that. His hands then patted his shoulders. "Come guys! A little self-respect, man."

"Yes, I know that!" Jon smiled too.

Then the two of them immediately returned to the castle to join the others.
