Raven immediately ran down the hallway of the headquarters after getting down from the car, looking for the whereabouts of her master. He had just taken a decision that greatly endangered Darius's safety. But that's because it was forced.
At that time K.A.O was short of magic materials for training facilities. The material supplier who usually sent magic materials to K.A.O somehow did not send this month. This is not usually the case. Due to an urgent need, Raven is forced to buy magic materials from the Hunt nobles.
"I know the purpose of them making this deal. Shit, if it wasn't for an urgent need. I'm not gonna agree to this deal, "inner Raven kept running.
K.A.O managed to get material from the Hunt nobles and was ready to pay a price that was in accordance with the quality and amount of material that had been purchased. However, the Hunt nobility wanted something else from K.A.O in exchange for all the materials they had provided. They want K.A.O to make a deal with them.
Instead, they want K.AO to sign Tiamara Hunt as the official guide for 7 months. They don't want money at all, they just want Mara to be contracted. Raven already felt a bad feeling about this.
They were willing to exchange 29 tons of magic materials for just the contract period of the official guide for 7 months? isn't this unnatural?
What else they want Mara to get the right also in determining the value and graduation of the knights she mentored. That's really presumptuous. Where it is possible that the temporary supervisor obtains such a right. Only Commanders who guide are entitled to determine the value and graduation of knights.
It is very clear, they are hiding another purpose behind this deal. Raven had already sensed it from the start, but she was unable to resist it.
K.A.O really needs a supply of magic materials. Initially K.A.O planned to import materials from abroad, but given the quality of magic materials out there is lower and not guaranteed. Eventually the intention to import was canceled and by forced to buy materials sold by the Hunt nobility.
This deal was also accepted by Raven. Raven signed a letter of agreement and gave Tiamara Hunt an official guiding license. Thus, Mara's contract as official mentor was agreed and during the duration of her contract, Mara had the right to the knights under her training.
"Hunt must have had other intentions behind this deal. Moreover, what they sent was the sister of that arrogant Queen. They must be planning to go after you, "Raven's anger is getting hotter.
"Tiamara Hunt, he will definitely do something against the master with that official right. I'm not gonna let him act like he wants to, "inner Raven. Soon he'll be at Beginner's training ground.
...*************...
Meanwhile at the training ground the attack range test (the widest training area in K.A.O).
Mara and Darius were already preparing to start the exam that Mara had requested.
"Alright, let's see how far your attack range is" Mara said.
Mara prepares her magic to be pitted against Darius. What will start first is the attack range test/test. In this test, the knight should be able to surpass the range of his guidance counselor's attacks. The guide will show you the far range of his attack first and the knight will observe first the far range of his guide's attack.
After knowing the range of the attack from the guide, then what must be done by the knight is to make an attack whose range can approach or match the range of the guide's attack. The minimum should be close.
A little like this:
If the Instructor has an attack range of 25 meters, then to pass this test. The range to be reached by knights was at least 24 or 24.5 meters. If it's more than that, it'll be better.
In this test you can only use magic. It is forbidden to use long-range weapons. There is also an attack range gauge that serves to measure the distance of the attack automatically when the attack is launched. This tool is more than one and neatly lined up right behind Darius.
"You ready?" mara asked with a collection of light magic energy in her hand.
Darius brought out hot lava from his right hand.
"I'm ready" said Darius.
Mara looked seriously as Darius unleashed his power.
"Already expected, I did not feel any magic energy in his power. It's weird," Mara's inner. But he ignored that.
Mara took a swing to cast her magic.
"Beyond this if you can," said Mara, launching her magic attack.
His magic shot shot far away. According to the range gauge, his attack managed to reach a distance of 290 meters away. Very long distance.
Commander Deri and Seirus observe the Eye secretly. They both felt annoyed that Mata had exceeded the attack range test rule.
"He's very late. How could a Beginner possibly be able to reach such a distance? after all, this test is only shown for Regular-Expert classes and there is also a limit to the distance that will be determined by the supervisor" said Commander Seirus.
"Maybe this is how he punishes Darius" Commander Deri said.
"What do you mean?"
Commander Seirus did not understand what Commander Deri was saying.
"Darius was a Hunt but he was very adept at using sharp weapons, especially swords. That's according to the data I read" Commander Deri replied.
"What?! that means he's already broken his own family rule," shock Commander Seirus.
"From the beginning I've been watching Mara. His behavior towards Darius was very different compared to the other Beginners. It's been seen since the training this morning" Commander Deri explained.
"So you're saying, Mara is punishing that young man named Darius? but why in this way? if indeed he was about to punish the young man (Darius), why did he not directly hit him with magic and drag him before Queen Hunt? wasn't he so hard on Hunt that he broke the rules?"
Commander Seirus was curious and suspicious at once. Because Mara acted like she wasn't the Mara she knew.
Meanwhile, Mara was so proud after showing off her ability. He raised his chin high, in front of Darius.
"Let's be a beginner, beyond my reach. If you don't, then you can't be considered a pass" Mara said.
Darius formed a propeller from the power of lava in his grasp. With a high level of concentration, he tried to control and stabilize his strength.
"I can't go overboard. This power must be balanced, "inner Darius.
The vane's getting hotter. It made Mara move a few feet away. All the plants that were around there were withered due to the stinging heat. Darius began to take a swing to launch his attack.
"I will exceed the range of your attack," Darius said as he attacked.
WUOSH..!!!!
The propeller was speeding. The heat was so fierce, that it caused a charred mark on the ground that passed through it. Seen a mole rat out of the ground, it is right on the path that will be passed by the lava propeller. As a result, in a blink of an eye the rat was evenly roasted when the propeller passed through it.
The longer, Darius's attack darted far up until finally the propeller flew somewhere. Commander Deri and Seirus who were shocked after witnessing the incident, immediately came to him.
"Where did the propeller go?" ask Commander Seirus.
Darius could only shake his head. He did not know where the propeller went. Mara directly approached the range gauge and it turned out that the tool had been damaged due to the heat of the propeller temperature that Darius made earlier. This leaves Mara confused.
He also measured the range of Darius's attack by measuring the extent of the land scorched by the attack.
"I.. this must be wrong, it can't be like this," said upset Mara while biting her lips.
The range of the attack was far beyond the range of Mara's attack. Even through the barrier wall made K.A.O. Mara can't believe this. Commander Deri comes to Mara who is hysterical, he brings Darius's graduation letter.
"Darius has already made it beyond your reach. So quickly sign this letter and accept his graduation" Commander Deri said.
"No, not yet."
Arrogantly, Mara pointed her index finger towards the Commander. His face looked so upset.
"There is still one more test, so don't be proud just yet" Mara said arrogantly.
"You should have told him that (Darius)" the commander replied.
A few minutes later....
DRT..!!! DRT..!!!
Commander Deri's phone suddenly shook, someone suddenly called him. He also raised the call in. The call came from the supervisory unit of the city of Desius, a town a fair distance away from Tideo, most of the new knights in K.A.O were from there.
"Izin reporting, Commander. There's a problem here."
"What's the problem?" ask Commander Deri.
"There was a hot propeller that landed in the river Morio (the largest river in the city of Desius), the propeller was lit and at high temperature. All the water in the river is boiling due to the heat of the propeller. We need immediate help moving these propellers, Commander."
Commander Deri was immediately jolted at the news. Not to mention the propellers reported by the municipal control unit of Desius are....
"No way, the city of Desius is about 15 kilometers from here. There was no way his attack could travel that far," Inner Commander Deri.
The commander again spoke to the city's supervisory unit of Desius.
"Give me a complete picture of the propeller" Commander Deri ordered.
"Ready Commander."
Supervisory units sent video footage of the propellers they reported. Commander Deri was silent after seeing video footage from the city's Desius surveillance unit.
"Third commander, what's wrong?" asked Commander Seirus who had noticed Commander Deri's changed face.
I saw something strange about his partner. Serious Commander along with Mara, came to the third Commander who was silent lamenting his cellphone.
"Third commander? you why?" ask Commander Seirus for both.
Commander Deri gave my cell phone to Commander Seirus. Seen a jerky expression on the look on his face when giving his phone.
"You won't believe what I saw" Commander Deri said.
Seriate...
