Hero From The Dark Dimension
Chapter 58: The dark side of nobility

Eruna smiled broadly after hearing Darius' words, she looked delighted that the person she invited had abilities that exceeded her expectations.

"Your father until you know such a detail? surely he has deep fighting experience, it's worth it that you can grow into a great knight" Eruna praised.

"Thank you for praising him" replied Darius.

Eruna stood back against the wall.

"Well, you must have been very curious why I invited you here, right?"

Suddenly the wall behind Eruna split in two and a large monitor screen appeared from that part of the wall, this was surprising for Darius who was not yet aware of modern technology.

"I wanted to apologize for my discourtesy before" Eruna said, then the monitor turned on.

"What?"

Darius did not understand why Eruna apologized.

The monitor displays all the actions Darius took during the match-test last month until the time he fought Pyroberus, where Darius learned that Seis had been watching him all along.

"I was so amazed after watching your fight in the match test last month, starting from your physical strength and technique in using the sword is very extraordinary and it makes me unable to resist the desire to know more about you," explained Eruna.

"I didn't think I was being watched all this time, why are you so interested in me? aren't there many other powerful knights out there" asked Darius.

Eruna shook her head a few times.

"You are different from the rest of Darius, the great knights out there are none like you, most of them are born from large families or nobles who have basic armed abilities such as the noble Ragnar, Solvista, D'archain and the other knight nobles."

Slowly Eruna approached Darius with graceful steps, she brought her face closer with a deep gaze.

"While you are a sword-wielding knight born to the Hunt nobility who forbids weapons in their scope," Eruna said, then she turned her face away and sat down to face Darius again.

"How could you be born to such a noble?" asked Eruna curiously.

"The story is long, for sure I chose a different path from them," replied Darius.

Eruna looked very happy.

"Oh..., how brave, you're such a blatant rebellion against Hunt, is Oriery not punishing you?"

"You mean Queen Hunt? he didn't do it" replied Darius.

Eruna also had a chin.

"Hmm.., it's strange, even though he's a person who does not tolerate people who violate Hunt's law," said Eruna.

"What's your goal in recruiting me?" ask Darius suddenly.

"Oh yes, I forgot the main topic of our conversation, my goal in recruiting you is to save yourself" he replied.

Confused, that is what hit Darius at this time, should he not be threatened by anything and feel no need to be saved from anything, what does Eruna say?

"I'm sorry, but I'm fine" Darius said.

Eruna took the remote out of her pocket and pressed one of the buttons, the display on the monitor screen changed, now the monitor displays the time when Evoryo and Mara were about to harm Darius during a test in K.A.O.

"Related?" eruna asked with a grinning look.

Darius could only remain silent.

"They will continue to make things difficult for you, by being within our scope, you will be protected" Eruna said, stepping behind Darius.

"Your great talent as well as your strong physique will be useless in the haughty scope of Hunt, they only acknowledge magic as true strength regardless of the others, do you live with people like that?" eruna asked, he seemed to provoke.

"If you join us, all your talents will be recognized and you will also be respected, I have also prepared the position of Division leader for you if you want to join," explained Eruna.

Eruna stretched out her hand gently, she opened wide a great opportunity for Darius.

"Join with us on one condition" he said.

"What's that?" ask Darius.

"Dispose Hunt of your identity."

...*******...

At Hunt's residence...

Mara was locked in her room, she did not want to be disturbed by anyone.

All his duties were left to his partner who was none other than Carol, at this time he really did not want to be busy and wanted to rest.

Seemed he was focusing on playing mobile phones with his excitement, playing a game called Magic Adventure which has become his favorite game since he was still in High School.

There he also interacted with one of his old friends through the chat system, he poured out all the burdens of his mind.

Aura: it's been even 4 years we haven't met, how are you? are you still the same as you used to be?

Chat from one of his old friends.

"Aura, I thought you were retired from this game, "inner Mara.

Mara replied to her friend's chat.

Aura was typing....

Aura: already have a partner yet? 😜

"That annoying question again" said Mara and she typed in a message.

Tiamara: how many times are you going to ask like that?

Aura: don't be angry, I just asked 😆 by the way how are you preparing for NGB later?

Tiamara: I'm not coming.

Aura: Huh?! wh why? 😟

Tiamara: I'm tired.

Aura: are you sick? 😢

Tiamara: no, I'm tired.

Aura: it's not like you 🤔

Mara drank tea for a moment before replying to a message from Aura.

Tiamara: none of your business.

Aura: you're always cold 😤

Aura sent something to Mara, apparently it was a rare item in the form of a level 159 staff.

Tiamara: this item is...., this is an expensive item for 2000 cash, you gave this to me? in seriously?

Aura: sure, just think of it as a gift for our meeting after all this time, albeit indirectly.

Tiamara: thank you.

Aura: don't hesitate, I will log out soon because Winter is coming soon.

A: Winter? you mean Willi?

Aura: yes, we will be dating soon.

Tiamara: you guys are dating? wait a minute, since when are you guys dating?

Aura: hehe.., secret, then I log out first, until I meet in NGB.

Tiamara: Don't avoid my questions.

Aura log out.

"Basically, he may not answer, "his mind.

He logged out and then turned off his phone.

Mara clasped tightly onto the maroon-red blanket that was enveloping her, she felt a bit awkward for some reason.

"When Aura and Willi used to be sworn enemies in the magic class, I never thought they were now in close contact."

For a moment Mara was dreamt of Aura who had paired up with her old nemesis, in her heart she kept wondering, how could two hostile people since she was in school, can you join hands now?

It was impossible for him, this made him want to know how it could happen.

"Basar Aura, I became curious to make, from the enemy to be that close..., how could that be realized?"

Mara pulled her blanket to cover half her face, while continuing to drown in daydreams.

The shadow of Darius flashed in his daydream, the person he had been most hostile to as well as the person who had saved him and it was not just once, now he was bound in close synchronization with the man.

Many things happened between the two of them, to the point that Mara now hesitated to antagonize him.

While continuing to imagine, Mara said with her tongue.

"He..., if he's an enemy there's no way he's that good, can I get that close to him?"

He said it spontaneously without realizing it.

The shadow of the figure of Darius made him dreamy long enough, until he finally realized.

Mara shook her head and patted her cheeks hard, her face reddened like a tomato that entered the harvest.

"What exactly do I imagine, my God...!!!"

Mara felt very embarrassed by what she imagined, she covered her red face with her cushioned pillow while both her legs continued to stretch around in uncertain directions.

"Why am I thinking about that fool? that's not important... Mara, why do you imagine a fool like him...?!!!"

He feels wrong.

"Maybe it's because I'm sleep deprived, I'd rather not now..."

Seriate....
