Lea, The Story of the Magus of the Casiopea Continent
The Malang Zalrin

   Today we began to gather in the Forest of Harmony, the only large forest on Minnetois Island. It was a vast expanse filled with plum or peach plants.

   I saw tent after tent, which numbered more than 20 tents made of 100 soldiers, lined up neatly according to the number of our troops. 

   Our army is divided into archers, melee combat troops and long-range attack forces using magic. Magic has always been important in war.

   While the total of our troops approximately 1,000 soldiers who will go to war to Ponris Atoll, the border of the two regions later. 

   During my training in the Harmony Forest, I had very few vampire soldiers willing to talk to me. It seemed like they were all not very fond of the human race.

   Nonetheless, there were two vampire soldiers who were being nice to me. Having no acquaintance, but Kravas, of course, I consider Engur Kradriren and Dram Sholzurden to be my friends.

   Even though they are both men, they do not consider me to be a weak woman.

"Come on Leah, I heard you are a witch who can summon fire.really?" ask Engur to me.

   Dram who had been secretly, in the end followed up asking similar questions.

"Yes Lea. We heard the bird. All were blowing smoothly in that Obsidian City.

   You are the one human race that has captured the heart of Lord Kravas. And it's all because of your ability as a fire summoner.

   Can you show us how great a witch is with that fire power?

   I heard that in war, the fire-calling witch was the most feared. And you're reportedly capable of making a fire as big as Lord Kravas' castle. Really true?" dram asks like scolding me.

   I took a deep breath and said.

"I admit that what is being said about me is true.

   I am a fire affinity girl. So that with my ability, I can summon fire, not illusion" I said and made my two hands turn yellowish red. The little flame tongue licked making my hand look exotic, but not charred in flames.

   The two Vampires were wide-eyed.. 

I explained,

"However, regarding the news of the bird that I have become the lover of Lord Kravas, that is not true at all. I was just one prisoner of war, who then became a hired soldier now for the sake of my freedom: the faces of the two vampires changed, as if disappointed.

   Engur said,

"I'd rather you be Lord Kravas' lover. And then you became his wife, rather than Zalrin.

   That girl is too arrogant. And again, his father was a cunning-hearted vampire nobleman" Says Engur.

   I gripped my throat so as not to make others worse behind their backs. 

"It's better to practice the sword than to talk about others" I said.

"Can you guys show me the Perfect Immortal Sword technique?" ask me for a hint

   The three of us were busy and trained together. Engur and Dram are two capable combat soldiers. Their CAra swung the sword according to the technique that became the mainstay of the Vampire Race, it was perfect.

   Their agility in dodging and moving quickly, despite wearing armour, was very flexible when avoiding the stab of the sword in my hand.

   The two of them even hinted and corrected all of my movements when using the Eternal Sword of the vampires. 

   I was lucky because I had recently improved my magic abilities, so my agility was at number 9, making me no less agile to move away from the thrust of the Dram sword, despite wearing armor 

   It was so exciting for the three of us to train, to the point of not realizing that there were some newcomers, who deliberately came to see our training, then messed it up. 

   He was Zalrin with his followers, Ongier Maugennen (male), Ginom Klervurd (male) and Vernula Eldel (female). These four vampires everywhere are always together.

   At first I tried to ignore those 4 vampire races. 

"Well they don't bother me" my mind doesn't care.

   I swung the sword as Dram tried to bluff with a single puncture,

Hiyaa !

   At first things were under control, although we trained hard, under the plotting of those eight pairs of eyes full of judgment.

   But over time they began to launch their nosy actions. It starts with verbal bullying, with derogatory words like,

"Your sword technique is very bad man !"

"With such a weak sword style, I'm not surprised that he will be the target of the spears of the Dark Elves, before a single breath of war begins later" Zalrin's tone sounded insulting. Zalrin seems to think I'm a weakling. 

   He did not know that I was a fire mage, feared by some races of the Casiopea Continent. And I was waiting for the right opportunity, to show my magic skills to that spoiled girl.

"Look at it later !" I whispered in my heart.

   At that time I was doing a round salto in the air while stabbing a sword at Drad. Suddenly, a stone that was deliberately thrown hit the eye of my sword that was making the stab movement.

   Clearly it greatly influenced the sword technique when doing a stab while salto in the air. 

   The movement of my sword became chaotic deviated from the direction it was supposed to go. I was of course being riled up.

   But it doesn't stop there. Following the second and third stones, in a row hit my knee. I bounced and fell down on the ground in a very loud voice.

   Although it hurt, but I tried to endure the pain with indignation, and did not complain at all. I won't leave room for the bully to be satisfied.

   I heard the sound of laughter and ridicule directed at me, especially the ridicule and laughter of Zalrin he pointed out blatantly. 

   Zalrin railed at me with words like this,

"Huff, you're a weak man.

   In this life of our vampire race, there is no place for weaklings like you Leah" his words were sharp and full of provocation.

   Then following the mockery of the atmosphere heater, from his friends the sycophants.

   I'm getting angry. Moreover, Dram and Engur also look less satisfied. Even Engur blatantly said,

"Let's get Lea to challenge the woman in her training sparring" Engur shouted. 

   Getting support from two of my friends, the guts woke up. I then said in a very cold tone to Zalrin

"Zalrin Ozennust's...

   If you dare, I'm Lea challenging you in sparring. The bet is that if you lose this drill I'm gonna have to ask you to apologize for your rude behavior" 

   Zalrin. He didn't think at all that I was determined to challenge him. Obviously in training at Kravas Castle, I almost died in his murder at the time.

   Zalrin's face turned violent, then became elated. He accepted my challenge with excitement.

   He said back to challenging.

"And I sue you, if I win later..

   You have to leave kravas. Never walk with him.

   Moreover, you must move and not live in Kravas Castle" Zalrin's face was full of demands.

   I just laughed in my heart. Obviously I had planned to escape by the time the war was going on. 

"Guna did this stupid girl ask me to stay away from Kravas?"

   I then shouted out loudly "Well, I Lea accepted your challenge. If I lose I'll leave Puti Kravas" I said out loud. 

   The sword and sword were pulled out, the hum and for the sake of the hum of the sharp weapon a noise filled the field where we were training.

   We make runs to collide with each other, all at high speed, then slash and make stabbing movements at each other.

Tsing !

Hop !

   Not satisfied with the sword moves, because it seems like we are balanced. Back the swords clashed against each other, one slashed, the other blocked !. Staying balanced.

   Meanwhile, the audience of the fight was getting more and more. All gave encouragement to the two of us, who grew increasingly violent and forgot that this was just sparing, not a place to slaughter each other.

   More than 50 times our rounds have clashed with each other sharp weapons. Then Zalrin got more oppressive.

   The strength of his Assistant Knight at level three, clearly far above me, made me tired quickly.

   On one occasion, Zalrin hit my chest hard, using a sword hilt.

   Of course I was thrown, then I fell. The distance I threw was as far as 5 spears.

   Apparently Zalrin is not satisfied with my condition that has fallen like that. Zalrin has more. He wants to finish me off.

   Shouting loudly Zalrin leaped high, his sword slung into my chest, ready to kill me.

"Dead you Lea !

   I'll take your life. You are Thorn in the flesh !" the distance of his sword was getting closer, there were about three meters from my chest.

   At that time I was terrified.  Reflex something in me acting reflex. All of that energy was overflowing from my magic power center.

   Then a flame-like light flashed on both my hands in yellow red. Splashes spread out from both of my hands. And without me knowing it, I ruled the fire like a queen ruling the ladies.

"Fire ! Kill !" 

   The blue-colored flame overflowed rapidly, ambushing Zalrin while he was still in mid-air, two meters from my chest.

   The stupid vampire then screamed in fear, as his body vanished wrapped in a blue flame. 

   Turtle howls sounded. I smiled with satisfaction, even though I accidentally burned him.

"Stop !" interrupting sounds are heard. I know it's Kravas. 

   Although I hated Zalrin, but seeing Kravas coming, I immediately drew my magic fire.

"Back !" my decree

   The fire dimmed leaving a faded flame in both of my hands. 

   Zalrin fell to the ground in a miserable state. Her hair was charred half her face was bruised full of signs of charred charred flames. 

   Luckily, he was wearing armor so that the armor was broken. No one in his body was burned. 

   Several healers rushed over to treat the poor Zalrin. I looked at Zalrin without pity, while the girl was now terrified at me. In my heart I cursed,

"Feel you're a cocky woman. No matter how great you are, you won't be fighting one witch. Let alone the fire summoning witch!" my face was scorned by Zalrin. 

   Kravas then took me away while calming myself who was still filled with anger. Not too long ago, I became the talk of soldiers, young vampires.

Seriate.
