Eldrea Academia and The One That Stars Chose
Chapter 33: Attacks on the Academy Part 3

Dark, everything I saw started to darken due to the effects of the poison I inhaled. In the last moments before my vision began to blur, I saw a huge fire in front of my face.

I can't be sure if I've been burned to death or not right now, because now I can't feel my body at all. Almost all the senses from my body have disappeared, only my hearing remains at this moment.

“AAARRRGGHH!!”

Did that shout come from me that had been burned alive by the cloaked man? I don't know, I can't feel anything at all, I feel like I'm floating out of my body. Only my hearing is working right now.

This death, for some reason, feels so soothing at this moment. Even though I felt a little upset about failing to do what I wanted, but at least I can feel a little calm now. Grandpa, can I meet my parents if I go to the afterlife now?

“Master Messenger!”

This voice ... This is the voice of the person I am hunting, the voice of SIlva, why at the end of my life, did I hear the voice of that bastard? It seems that my grudge has not been fully avenged until it can haunt me even before I die.

“Deron! Deron realize! Deron!”

This ... This is the voice of my friends Kevin and Viona. Thank God, at least the last thing I heard wasn't that bastard's voice. Friends, I hope we can meet again in the afterlife.

“What ... bis .. Ron .. buh?”

“Ten ... lah .. he .. dak ... ati.”

I heard the voices of conversation from some people. My disappearing gaze also began to slowly return, even I began to be able to feel my body again at this moment.

‘Am I not dead?’

My head felt heavy, it felt like there was a big rock holding my head up. Is this my hallucination of being killed so sadistically? I don't know anything at all.

“Deron! Deron is awake!”

That voice, that's Kevin's. There were also some irregular footsteps approaching me at this moment. My vision has begun to improve now, I can see a ceiling made of stone with a wooden ceiling as a decoration.

I started trying to get up, it seemed like I had been lying on this floor for quite a while. There were also 2 books stacked up to support my head. Is this Lina's room?

“Deron!”

I looked towards the voice that called me. There I could see Kevin and Viona looking at me with teary eyes. Behind the two of them I can see Master and Lina watching me from afar.

Viona started jumping at me, intending to hug me who was still half conscious. “Deron!”

I tried to open my mouth, but it still feels so hard now. I kept forcing my mouth to speak, but I could only make a soft sound. “What happened to me?”

“It doesn't matter! The most important thing is that you're okay now,” said Viona sniffled.

After resting for a while, I finally began to be able to bring back my consciousness. My friends also started to tell me what happened when I passed out in front of the cloaked man.

...----------------...

When I was unconscious, Master, who saw me running suddenly from Lina's room, began to follow me by following the footsteps of hers embedded in my body.

At that moment he saw me lying down about to be attacked by the man. Not thinking for long he immediately launched a fire attack that only focused on the man without hitting the surroundings.

According to them, the fire attack was very strong but also well controlled. The attack that Master launched really did not waste mana in vain. Hearing all that, I think the fire I had seen before my vision disappeared completely was Master's attack.

“Nona Margareth is absolutely amazing! She was very charming when devouring the man with her fire!” viona said excitedly.

“Already, it's not too important,” interrupted Master, “now let's discuss that spear boy.”

“Ah, right, how about that bastard?” my many.

“Now he is in Gareth's room,” replied Guru, “He is being questioned about the reason and also who is the person who helped him it.”

Master started to step closer towards me who was sitting on the floor. He started reaching into his pocket and took out a necklace from there. “You remember this necklace?” said it.

Right, I think I can remember that necklace. If not mistaken it was the necklace that devoured Hell Blaze that I shot at the mysterious man. “I really remember that necklace, what necklace is it exactly?”

“This is my necklace, my own handmade necklace.” The teacher stopped his words for a moment, and began to cast space separation magic to make our voices inaudible to others.

“This is the necklace I gave Trishia ..” she continued in a soft voice.

If the necklace is Trishia's, Master's student is missing. Then it can be ascertained if the Master's student has died at this time. I could only stare at Master's red-colored eyes starting to look like dead fish eyes.

He was probably the strongest man in the world right now. But he is still a human being with a fragile heart. Strength alone could not help the feeling of pain in his heart.

We just kept quiet without making a sound at this time. Master's space-separating magic has also been deactivated. Kevin, Viona and Lina who saw us silent a thousand languages also did not make a sound at all.

They can see the sadness from Master's face. Not wanting to ruin the atmosphere, Master finally went out of the room. He needed time to strengthen his heart.

“What, Miss Margareth okay?” ask Viona worried.

I shook my head slowly and began to show a slight smile. “I don't know,” I said, “sorry, it looks like I also have to go looking for a fresh breeze.”

After asking my friend for permission, I immediately left the magic-class multipurpose building. I walked through the Magical Garden without knowing my destination. Let my feet take me to where he wants to go.

I continued to take deep breaths while I was walking, trying to force the fresh air to blow away this heavy feeling. My chest kept the fireworks going because I was unceasingly breathing and taking them out.

But when I was doing this activity, I could suddenly smell a slight smell of blood coming from my right. I looked straight at the smell of blood.

It was the forest that existed in the academy. It seems like I've unwittingly walked out of the academy complex and was halfway to the dormitory. With a bad feeling, I tried to get into the forest. Trying to figure out what this blood smell is.

The more I entered the forest, the more the smell of blood I smelled began to feel more concentrated. This smell came from the smell of fresh blood. I paused for a moment when the smell became very pungent. The source of the smell was already very close to me.

Now in front of me was a very large banyan tree, I am sure. Behind that tree, I can see what's causing this smell. My heart started beating faster. I started trying to catch my breath, trying to calm down.

With my mind filled with negative thoughts, I stepped my foot through the tree. My eyes began to look at what was behind the tree. How surprised I was when I was presented with such a horrible sight.

Behind the tree, I could see someone wearing a black robe and white pants filled with blood was standing amidst dozens of corpses. The bodies were wearing the same clothes as the man I was chasing earlier. The mysterious person just remained motionless in the middle of the collection of corpses.

He exuded an extremely powerful aura, yet it did not scare me at all because of him. Was he on the side of the person who attacked the academy? Or maybe it's on our side? Unable to think of the possibility, I began to try to vent to open my voice.

“Who are you?” ask him with a voice that shakes.

The man turned to look at me and began to run away into the forest. I can't see the face of that person. All I could see was a hint of emerald green light emanating from his eyes when he turned to me.

“Wait!”

I tried to chase him, but I had no time to run. The tightness in my chest started to return again. It seemed like the effect of the poison I was breathing had not completely escaped my body, so I was forced to let the person go at this moment. I couldn't take any chances when I almost died before.

‘Who is that person?’ my mind while holding onto my tight chest.
