"Kneel in front of the magic priest" said the pilgrim.
Rivan was still staring at the reaction of the magic priest in front of him, it seemed that the word priest alone did not describe the good nature of his profession thought Rivan.
"You!!" The guard was furious, he started pressing his spear closer preparing to injure Rivan's neck.
"No problem" the magic priest raised his hand.
The magic priest began to look at Rivan's appearance trying to measure the stages of his magic.
"Stand up" the magic priest said to the villagers who were still faithfully kneeling.
Hearing the orders from the magic priest, all started to stand up awkwardly.
"Should we go now?" Ask the magic priest in his soft voice, even though he is actually a man.
"Recorder!" The guard who was pointing a gun at Rivan harrumphed disapprovingly. "He must be punished" he continued.
"It doesn't matter that he's just a commoner who doesn't even have magic energy at all" the magic priest said.
Rivan just silently listened to the small words of the priest.
"Follow"
"Enough" cut the magic priest.
Finally the guard had to swallow his frustration, the guard kept staring at Rivan even though Rivan was just silently watching.
The children, numbering about 20, began to climb onto the train, each with 10 children.
"We're leaving now" said the magic priest.
"Thank you priest, blessed is the temple of magic" said the parents.
The train finally left the village.
"Are they safe?" Ask Rivan to Horan.
"Of course, the magic priest will look after her" Horan said.
"Why don't you come?" Ask Rivan.
"It would be troublesome if all the parents wanted to come along" Horan said.
Rivan looked at the train that was getting away.
"I'll catch up" said Rivan, and without a word he began to leave Horan wanting to speak up.
"Haiss you can't guess sir" Horan murmured.

Rivan took a position some distance away from the carriage carrying the children.
At least 10 level 3 TISSUE Stage guards and a magic priest at the peak level ORGAN stage were enough to take care of the child during the journey of the next few days.
In the evening, while Rivan's night vision was very sharp watching the children, they ate soup made by the guards.
Fun with his supervision, Rivan felt that there were irregularities around them.
"System trace the area" Rivan ordered.
[Travel map]
Rivan looked at the map before him and saw a rather large red dot a kilometer away.
"What's that?" Ask Rivan.
[It looks like it's a master magic monster] System replied.
The red dot moved quickly towards the group of children who were resting.
Roarrrrrr
A few seconds later, the monster was spotted.
A wolf monster with shiny hair like steel, deep blue in color, its body as high as 5 meters towering.
Upon the monster's arrival, without a word he immediately attacked the guard who was off guard.
The magic priest moved quickly, clenching his hands before the barrier protected himself and the children who started crying out of fear let alone seeing the guards being eaten by the monster.
Rivan leapt quickly towards the monster casting his magic which formed a long sword.
A single slash had already managed to unleash the head of that medium stage magic monster.
All the guards who were not ready to receive the attack had to die until only the magic priest was left in the barrier.
Rivan walked closer to the barrier that was still protecting the children and casually stepped his foot through the protective barrier made by the magic priest.
"Hm, at least you managed to protect the children" Rivan said.
The magic priest who saw Rivan was silent in silence, he was shocked to see the person he had underestimated so easily slaughtered a monster that he just did not know whether to fight or not.
"Don't you have no magic?" Said the priest.
"Did I say that?" Rivan.

After three days of travel, they finally arrive at the magic temple with Rivan who ends up being a guard.
"Thank you for helping us master" said the magic priest, he slightly lowered his head as a sign of politeness.
They rested while waiting for their group's turn to do the test, indeed there were already many carriages queuing in front of the magic temple.
They are children from other villages.
"How long will it be our turn?" Rivan asked, he was already impatient to see how the process of determining the magic element was done.
"Maybe in 2 hours" replied the magic priest.
"Ck" Rivan pissed himself off.
Seeing that the magic priest took the initiative to invite Rivan in first, because he was sure Rivan was not a random person.
After calling one of the guards to replace him guarding the carriage, the priest invited Rivan to enter first.
Rivan agreed, of course, that the priest began to take him to a hall containing many children who were sitting while waiting, not to forget also the number of magic priests who were busy arranging the queue.
In the middle of the hall was a large chunk of black stone with a magic priest standing beside it.
A child placed his right hand there, the black stone turned red.
"Fire Element" said the priest standing beside the stone.
Hearing him everyone clapped their hands in pleasure.
"A knife attribute" said the priest again to a child.
No one gave him a round of applause, the boy who had just tested looked lethargic.
"He why?" Rivan asked the magic priest who had brought him in.
"He's not talented" the magic priest replied.
"Untalented? Doesn't he have the knife attribute?" Ask Rivan.
"What's the point?" The magic priest said "he is only fit to be a farmer or work in the kitchen with that knife" the magic priest continued.
"But can't a knife kill?" Rivan.
"Free, the useful magic Elements and Attributes are only Fire, Water, earth, Wind, light, and lightning elements while the Attributes are only swords, spears, shields, and some middle and high-class weapons" the magic priest.
"Element is only 6? Isn't that 7? What about the element of darkness?" Ask Rivan.
The magic priest looked over.
"The element went extinct with the Vali about 500 years ago" the priest said.
Rivan who heard the Vali was rather interested, because he knew little of its history.
"Isn't the language we speak Vali's?" Said Rivan trying to lure the conversation.
"It's just the language they left behind, understand and use their language that doesn't mean we're a special nation" the pastor said.
"What's special?"
"They are a strong nation, a nation of science and technology, and the only nation that has the element of darkness" the pastor replied.
Rivan did not ask any more, his mind turned to the words of the priest, does that mean he is also a Vali nation considering he has black and white Elements that are able to blend with all the elements?.
