Their meeting with the other four teachers made a happy little reunion in their hearts. But happiness was instantaneously they slashed themselves with a feeling of vigilance towards each other.
They all activated their weapons as if thinking that one of the groups would attack first.
Their trust is declining with each other.
"You guys... Why are you opening your weapons?" Haran glared towards the four teachers.
"You guys go first! Why are you raising your swords towards us?!" Fredrica gripped his knife like a pickpocket pointing a gun at his victim.
"That might make sense... All right, then..." Haran understood the situation, he lowered his bow.
This tense situation will not end if one of these two sides does not give up. He looked back without turning his body. His right hand was raised to the shoulder to signal his friends to lower their weapons.
"Ah... Then..." Fredrica who was confused because her opponent immediately relented could only follow them.
Anyway, this is his request. His opponent did what was asked. So now it's his turn.
Now both groups have dropped their weapons. There is no more precarious situation for now.
......................
The night wind was blowing strong on the hill they were walking on. The moonlight glued next to the artilery makes for a beautiful sight.
The two groups faced each other with minimal lighting. Their eyes did not turn in the slightest direction other than the sebrang group.
"So... Are you here for the same reason?" Daniel opened the conversation.
Even with minimal enlightenment, all the teachers instantly knew that the one who spoke was him. His fat body became a characteristic feature of the man.
"If you think our target is Rashid... Then you're wrong." Zarbeth advanced in front of his group to lead the conversation.
"I'm sorry, but if your goals are different. Then we cannot consider you as allies!"
"Is that the 'original' answer from you, Daniel?"
Although his interlocutor used an insulting tone, Zarbeth did not feel reprimanded or angry. His voice remained flat, loud, and firm like an authoritative person.
"Geeh!"
The grandmother's statement made Daniel flinch. He began to question what he was starting to do at this time.
*je! *je! *je!
Lighting is living all around them. The fire that burned like a bonfire was made of a card that was placed on the ground. They immediately knew who made it.
"Lodos?" Zarbeth looked at him.
"Zarbeth, do you want to babble about your old friend again?"
The old friend Lodo was referring to was Nova. The name was often heard throughout the 3rd grade of Magic time before the Teacher Assessment. Zarbeth always told me details about the grandmother before their plans were executed.
"As you might expect, right now your fight is not only against that man, but also something stronger than that... Nova Sena the Regent."
"We know that... `Although only partially`." He immediately said something in a whisper.
The three people beside him did not hear what he said. But Zarbeth who was standing in front of him knew what the old man said.
"Huh(sighs)..." The grandmother lowered her head. "So you let those who don't know walk into a suicide mission, did you?"
Lodo did not answer the question, he just closed his eyes slowly and lowered his head without turning it to its original position.
"He-hey... What exactly are you two talking about?" Fredrica who felt left out of the dialogue walked to the middle between the two of them.
"Something that only parents like us understand." Zarbeth dodged the question. "Forget over it, you guys (towards the other three people)... Do you want to come with us? What we do here has nothing to do with them both (Rasyid and Nova). We came here just to get you out of this hell."
They all widened their eyes and gasped at what the grandmother had just said.
"Free us?" Fredrica tilted her head.
"From hell..." Rasputra looked down sadly for a moment knowing the meaning of the grandmother's words.
"What do you mean from hell?! We're here to destroy that hell!" Reversing from the two of them, Daniel instead brushed off the grandmother's good intentions.
"Destroying hell? Have you forgotten how terrible Rashid is, even with such a big artilery, you won't be able to stop him."
"That's just you who don't know! We were helped by the Governor to destroy the man! And you can see, the artileries are silent proof of his help!" He pointed towards the artily.
The whole group of Zarbeth was shocked to hear the title called, but Zarbeth remained calm.
"Have you guys succeeded?"
"Of course not yet!"
"Then, how many victims have fallen?"
That question again made the three of them mute.
Zarbeth doesn't need to know the answer from their mouths. Just from looking at it, it seems that what happened.
That sentence is an indisputable fact. Although with the help of the Governor, but if the current opponents are Rashid and Nova. So what they are doing right now is nothing more than a stupid thing.
......................
Feeling that the debate will only go a long way, Haran walked forward and stopped parallel to Zarbeth. He ruffled his waist as he looked at the four people with a face that said 'yes you have it'.
"This conversation will only last long if it is not terminated immediately now. So then... Just look at this."
Haran gave a suggestion to the four people. The suggestion was definitely something that benefited them and made them believe in the woman.
The deal has been formed.
Haran raised his hand to give the hand. The smile on his face made the situation even lighter and seemed to tell them to leave everything to him.
Daniel tries to return the hand, but before he can touch the woman's hand. Lodo sniped and stole iu's handshakes.
"This is a dangerous mission, Haran..."
"Just calm old man, I won't fail this time. I'll make sure of that." Haran replied to Lodo padanga's worries with a smile that passed through the bright bonfire in the dark of the night.
"Hopefully lucky." Lodo twisted his body.
He looked at Daniel whom he had crossed before.
"I'm sorry, old-age habits." He leaned over and walked past her.
While in the same ranks as Fredrica and Rasputra, Lodo turned back and waited for the movement of the other team.
"Based on parents..." Daniel looked at the old man with a foolish look.
He wasn't angry about being dragged away. That grandfather's nature was like everyday food for him.
That way, Daniel followed the direction of Lodo's steps and lined up like the others.
The two groups looked at each other.
But it wasn't long.
Zarbeth's group other than Haran advanced towards Lodo's group to join them. Haran was left there and was still standing while still putting on a smile that was as bright as before.
The group looked at Haran with a sad look at having to part ways. However, they know that in Haran there is a determination to overcome all this. The items he had brought before coming here became proof of that determination.
"Sister Haran... I hope we can meet again." (Tash)
"You have a courage that I don't have... Come back safe!" (Xander)
"If you meet Rashid, you can beat him as you please, I'm sincere!" (Samuel)
"Good luck, Haran." (Lodo)
"I'll raise your post to the highest if you make it back." (Bahar)
"We all trust you, Haran..." (Beth)
"Hopefully lucky." (Rasputra and Fredrica)
"Tch! Remember Haran! This is your last resort!" (Daniel)
"Sometimes I think it's my duty because here I am the oldest. However, from me seeing your determination. My eyes are open, if this matter can only be solved by you young people." (Lodus)
They all gave the last sentence of separation to the woman.
"Everything... Thank you." Thank you." Haran was touched, his chest he held gently. Tears in his eyes.
He turned around and stared at the flattened building. "Everyone, I'm leaving!" His determination was clearly visible on his face.
"We're going too!"
Simultaneously, they parted ways and walked towards their respective goals.
Haran walked towards the building, while the group who had united tried to walk down the hill to meet the others.
Haran did not feel alone at this moment. He felt his friends who had been with him cheering him away.
He even looked back.
Not only did he see the shadow of his friend, he also saw the shadow of the person he deeply cared about.
The shadow of the girl was glowing in the darkness. His smile was so sparkling in the eyes of the woman. It was the smile of her sister, Tania.
"Tania, look at your sister right now! Your brother is doing something right now! Along with my friends! Brother will make the world you dream of!"
The sentence spoke on the tears of happiness of the woman. This might be the end of him, yet he was not afraid. He was determined.
Haran immediately flew into the air using the created Hover shoes. She flew beautifully like a fairy in a fantasy world that gave off a colorful trail.
His current destination, the regent, Nova Sana.
