Maple High School Academy Hidden Year 1
Levi Strauss and the Journey to the North - West - Asteroid Flakes

Asteroid Flakes

“HMMM.. THERE ARE SIX people turned out,” said Levi when he saw the dark hallway using infrared-tuned glasses. The waves capture the heat of the person on guard. “I'll finish quickly. After that, I just waited for the cue from Lord Betelgeuse to blow up this place. Very easy!”

The boy walked into the darkness. The dark hallway did not feel damp or even cold. The temperature was like normal temperature, although at the other end Levi saw a small flickering light. Anything that emits light, it must have something to do with asteroid debris. Levi held onto this building, carefully examining the structure of the building before grinning widely. “It's perfect. Since Lord Betelgeuse told me to be free to do anything, then I will try it now.”

Levi opened the suitcase he was carrying, took out some syringes filled with liquid and some glass balls containing something similar to smoke. After he finished, he placed the suitcase on the floor of the hallway while taking a few steps back. He immediately pressed the on button on the remote until it sounded ‘bib’ sound that was quite slow. The suitcase opens another section containing the speakers. When he pressed the power button, the voice of the woman asking for help echoed quite loudly.

“Hahaha... There is also a point in me skipping and recording the voice of Lily James shouting during the practice of Zoology lesson,” muttered Levi while laughing amusedly. “The guard must have been diverted.”

Sure enough, not long after the footsteps came closer to Levi. From his rhythm, there were about two people approaching. As soon as the figures of the two guards wearing ancient Egyptian clothes and spears were seen, Levi quickly threw two balls filled with gas. The sound of broken glass signified dark purple smoke spreading there. Levi took out his anti-radiation mask and silently sculpted.

Two guards rambled with language he did not understand before slowly collapsing and collapsing. Levi approached them and checked things out. There was no reaction, indicating that the two guards were no longer struggling. With a casual step, Levi walked again and did the action again. Two guards in the central hallway had just collapsed after he injected the liquid into their necks. Levi was caught and almost became a skewer, but fortunately he managed to avoid the attack using his transmutation ability. When the last guard was defeated, Levi suddenly felt a strong pressure from the large door at the end of the passageway. The child had experienced shock therapy because of the energy that hit him.

“What kind of bad feeling is this?!” said agitated. The energy he felt made his body feel heavy. Even to move his legs, Levi felt his stamina drained quickly. Moreover, he had already seen the rays coming out from the end of the door. “Asteroid fragmentation .. must be stored in there. Then ... I'd better do it quickly.”

Then, Levi reopened the suitcase and began concocting a time bomb. There was no point in him stealing books on how to make explosive materials in the school library at that time. Lord Betelgeuse asked him to blow up this underground passageway, definitely because he knew Levi was capable of it. He chuckled again, in his mind now already swirling the praise that Lord Betelgeuse would throw at him. When finished, Levi planted the bomb right near the entrance. It looked.

“I was curious, what is Lord Betelgeuse doing above, huh?”

 “I came here to offer an exchange with you, Her Majesty Ratu.”

Lord Betelgeuse, disguised as a long-distance traveler, looked down before the beautiful Queen. The parasites are beautiful with a touch of sharp jaw, as sharp as his eyes. As he looked, it felt like something was trying to stab Lord Betelgeuse. Intimidating. The clothes she was wearing were also like that of an Egyptian queen. “Exchange? So presumptuous of you! Dare to break into my palace and want to make an exchange.”

“Trust me, I've traveled for years just to wait for today. I've got the information you so desperately need. Very highly you need.”

The Queen seemed uninterested. “Logger. You're just a traveler who doesn't know the purpose. How can I trust someone like you who can't even settle down in a country?”

That word slightly irritated Lord Betelgeuse. He had almost opened his identity, but his patience was a little greater. Lord Betelgeuse revealed a defiant smile. “The proverb once said that we should never judge something by its cover, Queen. Especially as a powerful person in this place, you certainly should not underestimate anyone, including travelers.”

“Tell me, what do you have? I don't have much time.”

“Something about resurrection,” said Lord Betelgeuse. His snake-like sharp eyes stared directly at the Queen who was starting to be interested. “Awakening of someone you dreamt of so much.”

“Do not joke!”

“Four Blood!” shouts Lord Betelgeuse. “Isn't that what you're waiting for?”

A long silence surrounded the hall. All eyes were wide open at the thunderous remark of Lord Betelgeuse. He giggled amusedly at the reaction of filling this golden castle. “I have something you're looking for. Only, I need a fair exchange.”

“Who are you, Wander?”

“What?”

Lord Betelgeuse pointed down. Towards the floor. “I want you to trade it for something stored down there. In that box, you kept it, didn't you? Gold Asteroid Flakes. I want that in exchange.”

The Queen was wide. He knew the meaning of Lord Betelgeuse. “You! How can?!” he shouted with a tone full of anger. “Exchange denied! Until anytime, I won't pawn the splinter.”

Lord Betelgeuse turned both eyeballs. “Well, if you don't want to, yes, already. I can get it myself, really. After all, if you refuse, you will lose this precious information and the Four Adored Bloods never rise forever,” he said in an intimidating tone as he walked away from the Queen. Then, Lord Betelgeuse turned his face back with a mocking look. “He will just end up being a ghost. Pathetic, huh?”

“Bigger! Guardians catch these uncivilized creatures!”

“Whoaa ..”

The guards who had originally stood still quickly attempted to capture Lord Betelgeuse. However, due to his agility, the man easily dodged attack after attack and blabbed as if the guards present were unworthy of being called fighters. “I so understand why the Four Bloods could lose in the past. His followers are weak like this. Upss!” hina Lord Betelgeuse's. “Do not put to heart, yes, I just—“

THE DUAR!

The golden energy smashed into the body of Lord Betelgeuse. Thick smoke pours over the place. For a few seconds, no sound was created there. Until, a pair of jet-black wings sticking out from the back of the traveler in disguise.

“You!” shouted the Queen. “A Fallen Angel. Arrest him and put him in the worst prison!”

Hearing that statement Lord Betelgeuse let out a long sigh. “So get caught, deh!”

 Levi almost fell asleep if a loud bang did not wake him up. The surrounding ground shook strongly and dropped fragments of soil and buildings. He groaned in pain because his head was hit by one of the fragments. Reflexes, the boy let out fresh swear words. “Sial, I thought there was an earthquake passing by, it turned out to be Lord Betelgeuse. So annoying!” his gerrick. “What the hell, did that om do up there?”

Levi tried to stand up even though it felt like his body was heavy. He complained. Though his body was already protected by Lord Betelgeuse, but the boy wondered about the impact he felt was still very strong. Levi stood a hundred meters away from the door while waiting for the prepared command. However, since Lord Betelgeuse did not give a warning, he became impatient. Moreover, the discomfort in this place makes his emotions increase. “Ah, fuck!” peekkik Levi's. “I'm sorry, Lord Betelgeuse, but I have to blow that door now.”

The red button on a remote has been pressed. Twenty seconds just counted down.

Fifteen ... ten .. six .. three…

One. THE DUAR!

The pieces of the door were scattered while the golden light burst from within the room. The blinding light makes a dark place as bright as day. If Levi didn't wear protective glasses, his eyes might have been blind. He moved slowly into the room and found a stone chest in the middle of the room.

“This ... exactly as I dreamed.”

The boy stepped as hard as he could to get close to the chest, even though he knew the energy was coming from something inside the chest. Without any more babibu, Levi activated his chemical abilities and changed the elements on the chest.

A loud thumping sound indicates that the casket cover has been opened. He looked in there. How surprised Levi when he found was the thing they were looking for.

“I-this ..really a Golden Asteroid fragment!”
