Maple High School Academy Year 1
The Soul Blower - Back to Autumn

The Back to Autumn

"SPILL THE TEA!"

Efron snorted when he heard the sentence Lily had just said. It was a sign that soon there would be gossip from the two creatures before him.

"Hurry up, Lily!" whispered Maya excitedly. Makes Efron even more lazy to hear it. Fucking women!

"The Mythology lesson this time will be done in the museum" Lily said with sparkling eyes.

"Good!"

"What's so good?" sahut Efron did not understand the mind of his two friends.

"Of course it's good! You know, Lily and I weren't too happy to be at the Colosseum" Maya replied as she kissed and put her lips together.

"Yeah, don't forget how cynical Mr. Crionic was watching me. The screen is running!"

Efron twisted his lazy club bead. "I don't know that's your excuse."

"Huh, okay. We can never lie to you, Ef."

"So?"

Lily started to look around. Trying to make sure no one's eavesdropping. "I heard Miss Aimer will show you some statues of Greek gods and—”

"And what?"

Lily slightly advanced her body towards Efron. The next second he whispered something that managed to make Efron's eyes bully.

"You crazy?" efron's strangles were slightly restrained.

"Crazy means brilliant."

 Jace felt his head throbbing at the sound of Miss Aimer Venmaris since the Mythology lesson.

Why is it suddenly like a history lesson like this? Ck, my head feels like it's going to explode, Jace's mind.

He walked lazily following his class. Tracing room after room without stopping which makes it even more powerless.

Jace Kalandra, in his life never liked this kind of long theory. Too many words made his head want to break. Even if you can choose, he would rather be allowed to sleep all day on a soft mattress.

"Lazyman." Someone deliberately nudged Jace's shoulder while walking ahead. It was very desirable for Jace to grab the red hair that was swinging in front of him.

"Fuck you, Fire Hair!"

From the beginning of the Academy, Jace was not happy to see the red-haired girl named Lily James. The reason is quite simple. First, the girl who was above average in height always looked striking. Making Jace feel bored because as far as his eyes look, Lily's look was first caught by his dark netra. Second, the Fire Hair behavior is not worth mentioning like a girl in general.

Don't forget the fact that Lily is a Van, the heir to the power of the god Vanir in Norse mythology. Jace was an As who inherited the power of the god Aesir. From the prose titled Edda he had read, the Vanir and Aesir people often fought in wars. So from then on, Jace declares that Lily is his nemesis, even before they were born was destined to be at odds with each other.

"All right, here's my explanation. Any question?" Miss Aimer's voice was heard. The woman with the fur coat closed the book she had been holding.

Lily immediately brandished her right hand with vigor.

"Yes, Miss James?"

"Emm ... Can we go around the museum to look around, ma'am?"

"Can. You can tour the museum to see the collection here. But remember, don't touch anything, okay?" miss Aimer replied and purposely pressed her last sentence.

Lily cheered happily in her heart. He soon moves with Maya and Efron down the halls of the museum. Maya is as excited as Lily. He walked in front, guiding the steps of his two friends.

"You sure?" ask Efron convincingly. They had arrived at a small jar filled with clear liquid.

Maya nodded steadily. "Bag responsibility, we're here, right?"

"What is this liquid for?"

"Collection," Maya casually chanted, "I hear this nectar the gods consume to stay young."

"You can't touch her, Maya. Or we could get in trouble" said Efron, who appeared a little frustrated. "We can still turn around and get out of here if you change your mind."

"Can" Maya asserted. Shaking her head at Lily on her right side, "Lily can help me."

Lily pulled her long hair. Out a black ladybug from her red hair. It was a kind of pet insect that Lily had contracted with.

Maya reached into the pocket of the black skirt she was wearing. A small glass bottle and a small cloth package were now in his grasp. Then, he took out a needle from the package and gave Lily's tiny legs a black Lady—pick.

The ladybug started flying carrying the needle towards the urn. One drop of liquid stuck to the needle and Lady returned to Maya.

"Good job." Maya begins to drip the clear liquid on the glass bottle she is carrying. "Just a drop to complete my collection, Ef, you don't have to worry."

Maya laughs. "For love."

Efron glares. Oh, my God, he forgot who he was dealing with.

Lily who knew nothing frowned in wonder. "What love?"

"No, forget it." Maya laughed even more. Even to the point of coughing. "Oh, my heart ...." Then walking while jumping little left them both and also the black ladybug.

Lily stared in horror at Maya. "I thought you were right, Efron. Now I doubt Maya's soul. Absolutely crazy," he said complete with a shout at the end of the sentence.

"Crazy means brilliant" said Efron, then passed following Maya's steps. Leaving Lily who was still shuddering.

 The entire museum looks crowded. Some of the students looked very enthusiastic and the rest were being lazy. Lily's attention was fixed on a hallway that looked desolate. As if a magnet was pulling, his feet stepped closer. Netra Lily circled the corner of the room. There's nothing special. All things covered with white cloth. Shrugging his shoulders, he turned to leave the room.

"Eh?"

His steps came to a halt when he accidentally tripped over one of the cover cloths. He caused the cloth to fall and saw a wooden statue in front of him.

One word when I saw the statue, beautiful. Her hair was golden and glittering. It was even just a wooden statue, but it was able to fascinate Lily. His gaze then turned down. A writing covered in dust greeted his senses. He blew slowly to get rid of the dust that was blocking.

Sif from Asgard (Norse Mythology).

The asgard? Lily's forehead frowned. A Goddess of Aesir?

"Abspect him, eh?" greet a voice.

Instantly Lily's mind floated on a haughty man named Jace Kalandra. A hint of that arrogant face seemed to ridicule him. Makes Lily snort. "Ah, ugly statue! Just made of cheap wood" Lily sneered.

His hands move lazily fix the fabric in its original position. However, before the cloth was perfectly covered, a ignorant idea suddenly flashed. Her lips lifted next to her. Slowly move to something. "Livaere!" Then slightly puff up the cheeks and blow air into the wooden statue.

One, two, three, in my heart, Lily started counting. Waiting for a change in the wood he just blew. Expect some foliage or at least some moss to grow.

It was 1 minute waiting, but nothing happened. Lily's eyebrows shriveled in wonder. Not reacting? His lips were pursed. Lily returned to fix the cloth that she had accidentally dropped, then passed away with a feeling of displeasure.

 The atmosphere became increasingly gripping with a slight reflection of light from the goddess of the night. Time almost showed midnight. Everyone should have been immersed in the cradle of dreams. However, not for three people with green hooded robes resembling that wall paint. They walk—more precisely settles-endap— on the outskirts of the wall along the corridor dormitory.

Their steps were careful. Don't want to be caught on the surveillance cameras belonging to the magic clock in the gathering room. That was also the reason they wore hooded robes that were the same color as the walls.

They reached the end of the corridor. Still with the body attached to the wall, his gaze fell on the road paving along approximately 100 meters, and ended at an old gate— which seems rarely used.

"About 2 minutes late at night." One of them began to speak, very softly. The other two just nodded in understanding. "We only have 1 minute, remember? Just when that clock rang—"

"Yelling what you mean?" cut someone behind him.

"Yes, anything is the same. The point is, hurry up and reach the gate."

"I know, Eph" someone seemed to snort, "Even every night you repeat the same sentence."

Efron sniffed his shoulders, "Just remind, who knows your short-term memory."

Their gazes refocused on the destination point, the rusty old gate. Shortly after, the sound of the clock shouting very loudly began to sound. The three of them immediately ran as fast as lightning to reach the gate.

The magic clock in the gathering room has surveillance cameras all over the fantasy dormitory. Anyone caught wandering at night, the clock would shout their name aloud to wake up the entire hostel. However, its surveillance sensors will weaken at midnight. Only 1 minute, because the magic clock will focus on screaming, telling you that midnight has arrived.

The three of them looked very skilled. At a distance of 30 meters, one of them stopped on a chain that dangled down. When his hand reached, a stranger took hold of the chain. Caused him to be surprised.

"You!" both looked very surprised. “What are you doing here?”

"You two work together! We don't have much time!" shouting someone in front makes them re-conscious of the initial goal.

The chain was finally pulled. The gate is slightly raised. They ran back as fast as they could, then rolled through the gap of the gate that had been lifted.

They finally break out of the fantasy dorm without being discovered. With a breath that was mutual, they walked out of the dormitory building.

"Why stop?" ask the girl who has now pulled her hood, so that it shows curly and long red hair.

"I felt something approaching." Maya, the girl who stopped the move was observing around. His gaze was straight at the main castle not far from them.

Autumn causes dry foliage to fall off covering the road. A voice of friction sounded clear. It was as if someone was walking closer towards the four of them. Equipped with a creaking sound like a hinge of the door being opened.

Wait ... creaking sound?

They look at each other. Feeling strange with the creaking that is increasingly clear or sometimes like wood that will break.

Maya held onto her chest, "It's not my broken heart" she said softly.

Lily, the redhead is pissed off. It could be that in a situation like this the crazy brain still reacts.

They were preparing to hide towards a large tree whose leaves had fallen off. However, Lily tried to stop when her net caught something strange running.

"It's a disaster!"
