Hero From The Dark Dimension
Chapter 24: The chosen path

"Are you sure of this decision?" ask Raven. After hearing Darius who wanted to enter the two Divisions at once.

"I'm sure, but I want to make sure of two things. Is it common for any knight to take two divisions? then does the magic Division only accept people who are already talented?" ask Darius.

Raven approached her master, carrying a cup of tea.

"Every knight in K.A.O may take more than one Division, provided he can split the time. For all Divisions, they will provide their own guidance and training for beginners and those who are proficient. Because after all, K.A.O is an Academy as well as a place to train young seedlings to become a true knight or sorcerer who can protect this city and country," replied Raven.

There are two stages throughout the Division. The first is the rank stage and the second is the Rank stage.

Raven explained. In the tiers stages in all the Divisions, each knight would be divided into several factions. For beginners, will get a Beginner level, which is the level where they will be guided starting from zero. Then for the middle level will occupy the Regular level and begin to undergo tasks and light outdoor missions. The highest level is the expert.

After successfully going through all of these levels, knights are allowed to take jobs and enter the Rank stage.

"In short, the level stage was the stage where knights would undergo training and guidance. While the Rank stage is the peak stage, where knights will undergo heavy missions," explained Raven.

Darius understood, the training system here is not bad for him. Raven retrieves an iPad, then enters Darius's data into the Magic Division and Sword Master. Just waiting for the decision from Division.

"Sir I have registered, according to the request. I will also help you to uncover the mysterious power that exists in you," said Raven.

"I'm glad to hear that, hopefully I can get an answer to this curiosity."

The more days, the mysterious power was felt. Darius did not understand what was happening to the power within his body. He also does not know how to restore or use it.

For a moment, he thought back to Drake. He recalled the words his sister had said in his dream yesterday.

"Raven, is there in this country a people or a group that still does not feel peace? isn't this era peaceful?" ask Darius.

"Hmmmm.., I don't think anything. This era is the peace of war. But there are still conflicts that occur, the causes vary. From differences of opinion to belief. His Holiness Drake once told me that true peace is like a dream that lies between reality and fantasy" answered Raven.

Raven drank a little tea that she held.

"His words are right" continued Raven.

"so apparently. Drake is very good at stringing words, he spent books in the library his whole life. I won't be able to rival his cleverness" said Darius.

Darius drank the tea that Raven gave him. Instantly, his mind became calmer. Although the shadow of Drake's figure in his dream, still ringing in his mind.

"Well, that dream was a message for me. I'll find the truth."

Meanwhile, the residence of the Hunt nobility.

Evoryo Hunt was punished for his carelessness during the trial.

"Argh! geez..., hurts.."

His body was mixed with fire magic belonging to one of the leaders of the Hunt magic force, at the Queen's behest. His skin instantly melted peeling due to the heat of the fire whip. Evo groaned in pain, repeatedly asking the Queen for forgiveness. Unfortunately, the Queen ignored him.

"Basic stupid! because of your actions, the Hunt nobles get a lot of criticism from various parties. You've almost put a lot of people's lives at risk!"

"Hunt feels so ashamed of you. Although I have apologized to the public through various media, but still. Insults and insults that have been thrown at us!"

The queen ordered the whip to strengthen her lash. Evo's getting tormented. Blood and burns covered his entire body. He drowned helplessly. The Hunt who witnessed it was terrified. They were trembling at the Queen's great anger.

By order of the Queen. Evo was taken to an underground cage. He'll be locked up there for 6 months. Without any illumination. The queen patted her forehead, she was very frustrated over the problems she received. Some servants brought wine to the Queen to make her mind feel better after drinking it.

"Evo is stupid, he fails to carry out his duties and embarrasses Hunt's name. It is useless" said the Queen, sipping wine in her hand.

Arnoldi Veu Hunt, raise his hand. To ask the Queen.

"Then, what's our next move?" ask Arnold.

"For now, we're leaving Darius Hunt aside. Focus on improving our good name. Because of Evo, our names are tarnished in the public eye" replied the Queen.

Arnold nodded, understood. All members of the nobility began to move to improve Hunt's image in various ways. Whether through real action or media. For the sake of purifying the image of the honorable noble Hunt.

After a while, the Queen's anger and frustration subsided. His mind is cold and open. The Queen felt that Evo's punishment was too severe, especially Evo had received 400 lashes. He also changed his decision.

Evo, who was initially confined in an underground cage, is now transferred to his room at the behest of the Queen. The queen changed Evo's sentence, now Evo was sentenced to work at the center of the development of magic weapons belonging to the noble Hunt. For 4 months, without pay. A much lighter punishment.

Now, on various news shows on television. Everything was about the careless behavior of Evoryo Hunt during the match test. His actions greatly endanger all residents who witnessed the match test in the stadium. The media questioned Queen Oriery Hunt's leadership. They felt doubtful and considered that the Queen could not lead her subordinates well.

In addition, the media made the name Darius Hunt became popular. The greatness of Darius, instantly viral. Darius was considered a savior, he managed to reflect Evo's attack into the sky so that his explosion did not harm the people inside the stadium.

The Invandara community was so elangated after watching a recording of Darius's fight during the test match. The footage has been spread quickly across various sites and gets a lot of views and responses. Many people were amazed by Darius' toughness in the fight. This was completely unknown to Darius himself.

The queen had heard the news of Darius's popularity. It caused her a sense of sadness. He did not expect, it would end like this. One of the army leaders standing right beside him, raised his hand.

"Allow me to punish him (Darius), Queen."

The queen was somewhat surprised, who said it was Tiamara Hunt. Lead of Hunt's main force, as well as his younger brother.

"Mara, I can't allow you. Right now, we should focus on restoring our good name" the Queen replied.

"I already have a plan. With my plan, I made sure that person (Darius) would get a reward. Without anything tarnishing our good name."

The chin-backed queen. Mara approached her sister, then whispered the plan she made. The Queen smiled at him. He also allowed his brother to do his plan.

"Go, do your plan" said the Queen.

"Thank you for the opportunity the Queen gave me. Excuse me."

Mara withdraws from the Queen's presence. There was a sly smile engraved on Mara's face after coming out of the throne room. He also began the steps for his rotten plan.

"The one who has hurt my brother, I will not forgive" said Mara.
