The white hair seemed to sparkle in the light of the lantern. His golden eyes panned warmly, paying attention to the path he stepped on. Beside him, the blue iris youth seemed to be walking leisurely while humming a little, as if he did not feel the slightest fear.
"Hey hey Zuka... You're a prince, I've always been mounting how your life used to be." Tanya Kei looked interested.
Zuka looked to think. "My life is yes... Just ordinary. You could say I'm the one who likes to run out of the palace."
Kei raised next to his eyebrows. "I thought you'd always lived a luxurious life and were forbidden from playing with children who weren't royalty."
Zuka. "My family and I are not that kind of person. We are even familiar with the villagers. Children playing in the palace courtyard has also become commonplace. Although I was a prince, my parents never forbade me from playing with anyone. I also don't look at status, anyone can be my friend. One of them... Avren." Zuka's expression changed instantly. He smiled a little.
"If our status is different, I even consider him like my own brother." Continue her.
"You guys are pretty familiar. Must have been sad when Aven was in control of race leader Inimicus first." Kei.
Zuka nodded. Given how the person he already considered his own family had actually made himself like a tool to control monsters and add to his magic, it was quite painful.
Seeing Zuka's expression, Kei felt quite guilty discussing that. It seemed like it was saving up into a bad memory for Zuka.
"Ah, sorry I've discussed it."
Zuka shook her head and smiled. "Ah, it's okay! But, there's something I want to ask. How does Zion think you are?"
Kei seemed to put on a thinking pose. "He's pretty sweet. But I didn't expect, behind her sweet nature she was hiding such great power. Since the beginning he had entered the academy alone had already amazed many people. I wonder if she's the descendant of the world's greatest witch? Before this, no one knew about Zion's family."
Ah, Zion's still keeping her a secret. All they know is that Zuka and Zion first met in the cave. But... No matter how much Zion kept her a secret, sooner or later it would be discovered as well.
"Either... I didn't really think about that much. Even though I'm a little curious..." Reply Zuka.
The two fell silent and refocused themselves in search of the scroll.
"By the way... Why are we even preaching Zion?" Chirps Kei.
Why are they talking about Zion that way? If people hear the danger later.
The wind blew making the fire in the lantern sway. The temperature is getting colder around them. No, this is not only because the night is getting late, but there are other reasons as well.
Zuka shook her head briefly. "I don't know. Zion's planning her with Rendrano sir and the other mentors." He's not lying. Even Zuka herself did not know when Zion prepared this place and what was inside it.
He only knew the guts test this time would also be a test for the students to overcome their fears. Zuka thought hard. Guess what they're gonna face this time?
The eyes of the two continued to search and pay attention to the objects around them, looking for the paper scrolls they had to get.
"It... What are you looking for?"
The deg! Both of them stopped moving at once. Slowly the two looked back. However, both of them heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that the one behind them was not a ghost, but rather just a man who seemed to have just returned to farming. It was clearly visible from the hoe he was carrying.
The man smiled as he reached out his hand, giving a small paper scroll. Kei accepted it. "Thank you bany-"
Pukkp..
Just as he reached out his hand about to take the scroll, the man's hand fell and lay on the ground with blood pouring down.
It was as if Kei's body was frozen. His eyes were wide at seeing that.
They should have known that. Du the forest like this, where is there a field??
"ahahahahah.. Sorry, brother, this hand is usually dislodged. Understand, I'm old." Said the man leisurely as he took back his severed hand.
"ahaha... It'sit's okay... Thanks sir..." Kei quickly picked up the scroll and embraced Zuka walking away.
"Crazy... It was a real ghost... Why don't you tell me about the ghost people??"
"Well, how do I know it's a ghost?? Hurry up and open the scroll."
Kei opened the scroll and read what was written in his greeting. "Defeat the ghost mannequin to complete the challenge. Happy trying~"
"Mannequin? Don't tell that guy...."
