Maple High School Academy Year 3
An Unexpected Adventure in Windville

Stealing

ALanon's SOUL DRAGONFLY airs with wild dragonflies in the academy grounds, looking for Hilarion in the Humanday festive crowd. Lyria, Mikalea, Alanon, and Zanesha descended the marble staircase they had passed. Alanon continued to complain of being tired, but he had to keep up with his team's third move.

“So, what should we do before stealing the Time Mirror from Hilarion? No way, right, we stole stuff from someone who has Werewolf and Wizard blood without any preparation?” alanon asked Mikalea.

“We have to make preparations like hiding our identity and searching for Hilarion's whereabouts before we start doing mirror theft. We'll split the task. Alanon, you as the guide. I, Lyria, Zanesha stole the mirror.”

“Good. As long as I don't run around, I don't have a problem.”

“Ah, Kale. We'll buy things first. There are many good objects as a tool for supporters to hide our identity. I remember there was a stall selling masks, busting cloths, and busting potions. Remover cloth we can use to hide the mirror. That would definitely be of great help to kit—”

Lyria's steps and explanation came to a halt, followed by Mikalea, Alanon, and Zanesha as she felt the vibrations from the steps. Their eyes were fixed on the fierce explosion in Crimson Lake that was flying red algae.

“What happened?”

“Come, Zane. Since the people of Autumnland are unlikely to use magic, it may be the team Galavidi, Cyrus, or Arion.”

The focus of their eyes was now on the Tunnelove filled with Magic Knights. A commotion is going on there. Visitors, both those going in and out, are stuck at the gate. Mikalea changed her form into a Magic Knight.

“I will join those knights. You two, quickly buy necessities. Alanon, find Hilarion's whereabouts. I'll help you guys get in and out of Tunnelove with this form.”

 Alanon's eyes closed on a bench close to Tunnelove, sharing a vision with Sol while holding the potions and rags that Lyria and Zanesha had bought in a hurry. A guard was suspicious of the green-haired man as he felt a faint energy emanating from him. However, the man managed to trick the guard with his ability to express his tongue.

Zaadia had a weak physique and would expend a bit of energy while recuperating, that was the reason. The reason is also stronger because the race with the characteristic seeds attached to the forehead is not yet known its origin at that time.

Mikalea had joined a group of knights, checking in on the alleged visitor as the culprit of the ruckus along with the other guard knights. Lyria opened the hair tie and let her long hair down.

Sol flew outside the academy, looking for a tattooed male figure resembling that scratch mark after circling in the academy grounds. Minutes passed, Alanon finally opened his eyes.

"Hilarion is outside the gate, silent on the hidden precipice. Get out, Sol will lead you." Alanon handed a pouch to Lyria. "You're going to pass through dangerous corals. There, spread these seeds. Even if my powers aren't at their best, I can at least help slow them down."

Lyria and Zanesha left the green-haired man and broke through the queue into the Tunnelove with the help of Mikalea. Lyria is tense, while Zanesha is happy because the effects of allergy medications still make her immune from the wisteria flowers in the hallway. Lyria, Mikalea, and Alanon saw Navarro's figure in the Wisteria passageway, but they passed him and focused on the original goal, stealing Hilarion's mirror.

"Be careful. Do it as soon as possible because I can't be in this form any longer" Mikalea said before she separated from her two colleagues.

A Soul Dragonfly alighted at Lyria's head and flew back. Lyria pulls Zanesha's hand. "Come, Zane!"

Sol takes Lyria and Zanesha down the stairs they have passed after exiting the Well of Time. Unlike the stairs leading to the headland, the stairs they descended were deserted. They turn into the crack. The slippery road greeted them.

Zanesha wears a black cat mask. “What chaos earlier caused was Mr. Navarro?”

“I don't know.” Lyria wears a white cat mask with a different motif. “Perhaps, it's the chaos of another team that wants to steal a Time Mirror flake from the principal.”

Lyria and Zanesha jumped over the corals in turn, looking for a flat coral foothold that could be stepped on. Not to forget, Lyria spread the seeds of giving Alanon on every footing. While facing obstacles with sharp corals on the upper and lower sides, Zanesha turned his legs into Werewolf legs and helped Lyria through the obstacles. If only they did not make it through, they would die from being pierced by a sharp coral.

They stopped and hid behind a cliff after seeing Hilarion sitting leaning against a rock. The man held a black wolf-head mask in his left hand, then noticed it.

“Wait, where's the mirror?”

Zanesha's yellow eyes turned purple, he looked back at the mask and the magic wand beside the catfish. "Looks, that mask is the mirror."

“You sure?”

"Wait." Lyria's heart was pounding. He corrected the position of his mask, took a deep breath, and prepared himself.

"Hurry, before Hilarion realizes our existence."

Lyria took out the evolblaster from the grimoire and aimed at Hilarion's hand. His index finger that touched the trigger shook. Lyria strengthened her heart.

Gunfire is heard. Magic projectiles came out of the evolblaster shell and whizzed. Unfortunately, the shot missed and made Hilarion immediately aware of their existence. Lyria returned to focus on Hilarion's left hand, which was about to put the mask in the bag. Zanesha changed his legs to Werewolf shape.

The second shot shot shot out from the evolblasteri sleeve. This time on target. Zanesha immediately jumped up, seizing Hilarion's mask after he kicked the Prince of Half-blood figure. Zanesha immediately whipped, carrying Lyria's body on his shoulder, then jumped back over the obstacles that had been passed earlier.

“Fucking thief! You think you can run away from me?”

Hilarion. Her blue net was focused on staring at the two girls. Although he did not activate his Werewolf power, he could keep up with Zanesha's speed. Lyria takes aim at Hilarion and showers him with a magic projectile. Although not a single bullet hit it, the wind bullets managed to slow Hilarion down. The seed that Lyria spread grew small tendrils. Although no tendrils managed to reach the feet of Hilarion, the tendril also contributed in slowing its pace.

"Get in tight!" Zanesha took a swing to jump over the most difficult obstacle, the obstacle with sharp corals above and below it. Lyria stopped shooting and grabbed Zanesha's body. The great leap happened. Hilarion nimbly jumped up and almost touched Zanesha's body.

"Swifts!"

The tip of the Lyria rifle was originally an open cone. Lyria pointed her rifle at Hilarion and pulled the trigger. A large wind bullet came out and exploded, throwing Hilarion down. Zanesha, who was also affected by the dam, lost his balance. They almost fell into the ravine, but Alanon's tendrils saved.

The werewolf again jumped over the obstacles.

"Your mouthful!"

"Hurry up, we don't know when Hilarion will rise and ...." Lyria's eyes managed to catch the claw-tattooed male figure on her face. "Hilarion is behind us!"

"Is he crazy? How did he get up so quickly?" Zanesha. "We'll be on the stairs soon. I'll put you down."

Lyria put her magic rifle into the grimoire. Zanesha turned his legs into human feet, then lowered his comrades. The two of them passed through the gap and ran up the stairs while removing the mask. When Hilarion's face was seen in the crevice, Alanon's tendrils managed to tie his legs.

The two girls made it to the front of the gate, at the same time, they also saw Hilarion with a mutant look on his face. Lyria and Zanesha broke through the crowd. Some people snapped at them, but they continued to sabotage the examination queue. An examination officer directly let them into Tunnelove without inspection while nodding.

Zanesha sneezing. "Hopefully that line could hinder Hilarion."

"Your allergies really can't be worked with, Zane."

Lyria and Zanesha approached Alanon who was sitting on a park bench. The Werewolf girl handed Hilarion's mask to Alanon. The Zaadia man wrapped Hilairon's mask in a remover cloth, then gave Lyria and Zanesha a similar potion. They drank the potion together, but their bodies did not disappear in the slightest.

Lyria frowned, "Hey, did those two stalls deceive us? A bottle of potion costs 15 wizers, but doesn't make us disappear at all? The 30 wizer's fabric also doesn't make the item invisible!"

"No. At least our existence is slightly disguised thanks to the potion." Zanesha sneezing. "The cloth also made the magic energy in the mirror even more disguised. We can get out safely, especially now it is crowded. I can vouch for it."

"Lantas, why don't they just name it an undercover potion and a hiding cloth?"

Alanon. "At least the potion and the cloth functioned according to its name. Come on, get out of here!"

The three of them walked together, acting as if nothing had happened. Zanesha downed the allergy-relieving herb and immediately exhaled a sigh of relief. The figure of Hilarion is visible, making Lyria's heart beat fast. However, when Hilarion is unaware of her and her team's existence, Lyria eventually believes in the effects of the herb and the cloth. Zanesha patted the shoulder of a Knight Guard and went to sit on the bench of the park outside the academy.

Mykalea who had returned to her original form was a year away and returned from behind a large rock beside the stairs. "Now we go east, to the dock there and cross over to the next island by boat."

"Ready, captain Kale," said Alanon.
