Gray Knight

Gray Knight
Departure


 The gazes of the disciples began to tend in various directions. Those who had previously put themselves to sleep during study hours, now seemed not to want to miss something. The things scattered on each table are now gone, leaving no trace. The movements of students seem to be held back by something, they do not know the truth, but their strong instincts make them aware before seeing. What happened at a glance was a signal that signaled their return, when the sun had disappeared.


(Finally, time to go home!) Dessou actually, likes teaching and learning activities. However, for some reason he seemed to want to run, leaving the activity at that time.


 The teacher understood what came to his students' minds, but he had to follow the school instructions, he made sure for himself what the time of return had really arrived, by leaving the room and going to the open courtyard, which is not left from the view of the rising and setting of the sun. Yep, time to go home.


 All the class residents, salute their homage to their teacher's mother, then go to their respective dormitories. One of the people in class with Dessou approached Dessou's left ear and whispered in a small voice.


" A long time ago, there was a cruel king who made all the people of the earth miserable. "


 Another person came to Dessou's right ear, continuing his verse, while throwing his left hand, past the left side of Dessou's neck and supported by Dessou's left shoulder.


" And seven heroes, come and conquer the cruel king."


"Hey, what are you doing? " Far away Hanzou observed them.


"We're just reviewing the lessons we've learned in school, that's all, right... Dessou?"


 Dessou couldn't stand it and finally ran towards the dormitory, she didn't know if she would be stranded or not there. But in his heart, he almost no longer found a place that could be used as a shade. World hostile.


 The moment he reached the front of his dorm, his heart was suddenly struck by the warmth of affection, and all the pain in his memories, seemed to vanish in an instant. A woman with a sepuh face, adorning her greetings with a smile, Dessou's grandmother welcomed her favorite granddaughter.


" Goodbye to your education Dessou!" He hugged Dessou for a while then led her into the dormitory. The two of them sat facing each other and it turned out that a white-coated grandfather had already taken his place there. The grandfathers just kept quiet while occasionally weighing on Grandma Dessou with a smile.


"Dessou, I brought your clothes and all your gear here. I'm sorry, if I hadn't told you about this school before."


" It's okay grandma, grandma must have doubts, whether I can be accepted at this school or not. But look, I was accepted by the school, though perhaps, not inwardly."


" Well, and you've been punished the second day of school." The white-coated grandfathers interrupted the conversation between his grandmother and granddaughter.


"Huuft" Grandma Dessou shook her lips before the grandfathers, she felt like she understood what Dessou was going through, even though she did not have to ask.


" It's definitely not your fault, is it? you don't like to get into trouble with anyone, do you?"


Dessou suddenly swept over her grandmother's lap and took her place there.


"See Grandma, I don't know if it's wrong and right. Because whatever I do won't mean anything in anyone's eyes. They just make names as their benchmark." Dessou hugged her lap tightly while sobbing and drained her grief with her grandmother's cloth.


(hmm.it seems to be too often under pressure, making adult thinking appear faster than it should.) " Sometimes what is wrong can be considered right because of the majority, and what is right is considered wrong because of the minority. And vice versa." The grandparents again interfered in Dessou's complaints to her grandmother.


" Let them be busy with their insults, when you are at the top, everyone will pretend to forget who you were before. They will only be bullies for imaging and only pretend to be good with their hypocritical nature. They may be able to sell candy at one time, but they can also sell poison at another." Grandma Dessou added.


 After a long conversation, Grandma Dessou finally said goodbye back to her hometown. Dessou hugged her grandmother and went to bed and rested for a while.


 The night was still passing, Dessou did not see any of her fellow sisters inhabiting the room. And finally, he chose to go to a lake that he had come to before with the princess. There was only one person who seemed to be nailing themselves there.


" Hanzou..? " Dessou looks confused while calling Hanzou.


"Oh, you're Dessou... "


"What are you doing here? "


"Nothing, but in my opinion, to feel peace here, makes me feel better.. "


"(well, you're right) What happened to you, anyway? "


"Nothing, I'm just lonely... "


"What about your family? "


"I don't have a family.. "


"I'm also defending sungkawa. But I'm sorry, how did you lose your family?"


"My parents died when there was an attack from monsters, and my sister disappeared while me and her were at the shelter."


"What's? why don't you report?"


"I've tried, but the result is ill-fated, nobody cares. In my place all the children left behind will be abandoned, no one cares about our fate."


"Then how did you get here? "


"Hmmm. the story is quite long, I heard there is an education of prospective knights who offer assistance funds for the unable. So I worked and saved up to get here. Even now I work.."


"Just a little job, do you want to come? "


"I don't think anyone will accept me anyway... "


"Not many people know about you, the Ophaletians are now very few and do not even know each other.. So I'm sure you'll be accepted.. I will also promise to keep your secret, so how?


"Hm.. All right, I'm coming.. " Dessou accepted Hanzou's offer, she knew that, there was not much she could do, so Hanzou's offer was quite profitable let alone being able to distance herself from the other children's entourage.


"Alright we'll work 6 times a week, and the work takes place after the learning time is over, but whenever you come it doesn't matter okay, your income depends on the performance you do."


"So we're gonna get paid the day we work? "


"Well that's it, while waiting for that day to come.. "


"That day?"


"The day we will be sent to several islands to make the final and decisive step for the knight candidates."


"What are we gonna do? "


"You don't know? Of course ascetic, to get Colourball."


"Wow, I can't wait for that day..? "


 Hanzou saw Dessou rumbling with his spirit, but the name Dessou was holding made Hanzou hesitate a little, and wondered.


"What will you do after you become a knight?"


"Of course I'm going to have days with my grandmother, I'm going to make her happy, for the rest of her life."


"That's your purpose? "


"For me grandma is everything. He's the only one who's willing to accept me, so I don't think there's another purpose. "


 Hanzou understood Dessou's feelings, but he was a little disappointed and worried, hearing the goal he had taken was one that would not last long because it rested on someone's existence.


"All right, I'll see you tomorrow. "


"See you." Dessou returned Hanzou's greetings, and the two parted ways.


 Time to time continues to pass. Dessou lived his days by following the lessons, sometimes he was seen sleeping in the history lessons, and focused on other lessons. The moment after returning home from school was filled with working with Hanzou, the two looked increasingly familiar. Bundle after bundle still launched by some bad boys to Dessou, but he chose to continue to defend and sometimes against their bundles even though it still ended in defeat. All the dark stories seemed to disappear easily when Dessou went to visit her grandmother at the end of each year. And finally 10 years have passed, and the long-awaited day has arrived.


"It doesn't feel like 10 years we've been together." A proud woman who had long given guidance gave the opening line to the would-be knights lined up neatly in the room.


"Now is the time, you undergo the final vase as a determinant, whether you deserve to be a knight."


 All of the class residents looked impatient, but continued to hold back.


"The existence of Colourball is located at certain points on some islands. These people will explain to you the details. " Grandfathers in white coats also participated in the departure activity, and gave a little appeal. Suddenly some of the king's knights entered the classroom.


" Greetings to all of you who will become knights. " One of the knights saluted him.


"Greetings!! " Everyone answered aloud and responded.


"Before you set out for your decisive destination, I would like to ask. Do you know what kind of work a knight does? "


 Everything was silent, all they had in mind was strength and wealth. They forget the other consequences.


"You're going to fight monsters!! Work with the choice of living as a warrior or dying as a hero. That's the knight."


  Everything went silent and then again someone among the knights opened his mouth.


"Well, do we have to reaffirm the Colourball explanation?"


"Please guidance.! " Dessou.


"Colourball has a variety of strengths, those that look red are known as Red Colourball the strength is the fire element. The effect of the attack being launched was very strong. Colourball is highly recommended for those who dare to fight on the front lines. And the second is Brown Colourball they are very strong in defense, you can make a sturdy fort, with Colourball's manufacturing ability. Recommended for those who choose the position as a shield. And the third, Green Colourball, Colourball has the strength of wood/plant elements and has the ability to heal wounds. And number 4 is Blue Colourball, its power is the water element. The 5th White Colourball's strength was the wind element. The 6th is Yellow Colourball, its power is light element, you can make hot laser with this Colourball. The last one is Black Colourball, its power allows the user to be able to use various elements such as water, fire, wood, and others. It's just that its use is difficult and unstable, and the attacks launched are not as large as the actual users of the element. Well, for those of you who want Red Colourball, will follow Mr. Vulcano, with the island destination of Ignisia the Pyroclast kingdom. Brown Colourball with Mr. Kolloneil, you are quite imprisoned on this island, the island of harmonia, but here there are several different colourballs, so there is a possibility that you will get a Colourball that is not in accordance with your wishes. Blue Colourball with master Brainie with Aquria island destination kingdom of Coralium. Green Colourball with Mr. Gortein with the island destination Terrranova kingdom Sylvanara. Yellow Colourball with Mr. Zack with Luminara island destinations Luxarium kingdom. Black Colourball with lord Romguiss with island destination Umbrion kingdom nocturna. Last White Colourball with lord Sanloiss with island destination Venturia kingdom of Zephyria. We give time to return to your dormitory and think carefully about the decision until the sun sets. Once the sun has set back here again and you will leave for the destination island as instructed."


After listening to a fairly long explanation, everything disbanded, and returned to their respective dormitories.
