Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E2] Approach

"Being close isn't bad, but know that closeness can make you forget."

******************#####****************

"Miss, what is this?" dian asked as the lady placed a box of juice on the table. Dusk himself was just silent, he was too lazy to answer his subordinate's question.

Dian who was curious then touched the juice box. But he had not touched it, the juice box had fallen and broken. Dian's face looked confused yet he tried to remain calm.

"Miss, if you don't want to share it. Why are you putting it here?"

Dian asked again, his face was a little upset but because he knew how the nature of the lady was, he tried to be quiet.

"Don't touch it!" lirih Dusk when Dian was about to take a juice box to clean.

Dian only frowned with the word Dusk. He felt confused and did not understand why his lady behaved so strangely.

"Huh."

A long breath came out of Dian's lips. He felt that his lady was currently in a state of madness to do something strange like this.

"Miss, this juice should be cleaned immediately..."

"Then do it," cut the Dusk with his indifferent look.

"But don't touch" continued Dusk before sipping his green tea.

"Geez, how can I clean it without touching it?"

Dian looks ready to explode with emotions that are no longer unstoppable.

"The juice box has poison, so Miss told you not to touch it."

Link Ristia when Dian was ready to explode his anger. Dian was silent for a moment staring at the juice box. He did not think at all if the juice box had poison.

"Hmm..," Dian stared back at the juice box while scratching his neck softly which was not itchy at all. He was seen observing the juice box with his narrowed eyes.

"Miss, how can there be poison in this box? I can't find him at all."

"If a fool like you can't see it, it's different from me being smart."

Dian only snorted annoyedly at the lady's reply. How could her lady be such a narcissist, when what she was facing was poison. Although the poison was only a small amount but its spread was very fast and deadly.

If not handled directly, then the sufferer will experience pain that will gnaw his body to dry. This poison, also called Gu poison in Chinese culture, has a slow but deadly effect.

"Dispose of it, but don't touch it. How-to? Yeah, it's none of my business."

Dian could only let out a long sigh with her lady's strict orders. He felt persecuted by his current miss.

"Dian, is there a letter for me?" tanya Dusk while Dian was cleaning the floor with a mop.

"Yes, I almost forgot."

Dian put down her mop and hurried to pick up the letter that was on the Dusk study table.

"One letter from Nindia and the other from Prof Edward."

Dian handed over the letter and then resumed her activities. Dusk who received the two letters then opened one of them. He first took the letter sent by Nindia.

Dear Miss Dusk

Miss, how are you?

I hope you're okay there. In addition, in accordance with your orders, we are currently investigating further regarding the badge. The results we got were quite astonishing. We just found out if the badge was made by the remains of a magic animal bone, so to destroy it is very difficult.

We also found a strange inscription symbol that tied the badge. We suspect that this symbol is a rune created by the illusionist to control his opponent easily. Right now, we are researching how to destroy the rune magic.

If there are any further developments, I will inform you immediately, and regarding the sources of prevention, we are currently developing them. Perhaps within 6 months, prevention magic could already be used.

For now, this is all I can tell Miss. See you and thank you.

Sweet Greetings Nindia.

As usual, after finishing reading the letter, Dusk instantly burned it without any residue. In addition to eliminating the evidence, it is also a quick way for a person not to know the activity. It is an ancient yet effective way to remove traces.

"Huh."

Dusk could only sigh as he read one of the paragraphs written in the letter. In that paragraph, Prof Edward mentions if he will be replaced by someone. That person will become the new teacher of Twilight who will teach him new things.

The teacher was not chosen haphazardly, given what had happened to Dusk before. Prof Edward also explained that the teacher also has two elements like Dusk. It's just that the elements he has are a little different from Dusk, but still have one thing in common.

At the end of the writing, Prof Edward advised Dusk not to act rashly during training. He was afraid that Dusk would do the same to the teacher. The point is, the teacher is not just any teacher, so Dusk can do as he pleases.

The lesson with the teacher will also begin the following Sunday. With this Prof hopes that Dusk can prepare first before starting again.

"Fucking old man," grumbled Dusk annoyed.

Dusk is not too fond of change especially about the elements that he is very secret from the public. If the teacher can't be controlled by Dusk as much as he controls Prof Edward, then mess up already.

"Dian, prepare everything necessary for training next week in the Dark Forest."

Dian only nodded in understanding. Dusk then re-burned the letter and chose to rest his mind.

"This again" murmured Dusk as he looked at his table full of drinks and snacks. He looked around the classroom to observe the attitude of the other students, but they were silent and indifferent.

"Huh."

Dusk could only sigh in annoyance as he was about to sit in his chair. For two days now, he had gotten a strange gift like this. The culprit didn't even show a name or anything. He just wrote an apology every time he left all this behind.

Honestly, Dusk was bored with all this, but he was also curious about the end of what the perpetrator would give him.

"Interesting," he said as he drank the juice.

"Hmm, pretty," continued Dusk when the juice had run down his throat.

The afternoon was the same as usual. Dusk and his four other friends gathered in the park for lunch together. But there is something strange here. I don't know why Luna's face looked so dull and full of wrinkles.

"Are you okay?" ask Dusk to worry.

"I'm good," Luna replied the same as before. He just smiled sweetly as if nothing had happened to him lately.

In addition to Luna, Maya's face is also tangled. It was like he was finishing a lot of essai to the point that his eye bags were clearly blackened.

"Something's wrong here," murmured coldly. He did not like to interfere in their affairs, but this was beyond normal limits.

Only Zakila still looked as mediocre as before. He also submitted evidence about Kira who has often bought strange things excessively. He did not know what it was used for, but it was definitely very suspicious.

Muna also intervened in it. Although he looks tired, but Muna is also very excited to say whatever Kira bought the last two days. Dusk just took a deep breath and released it with this overreaction of his best friend.

"I don't know what's going on. But you should know, Kira will never hurt me. So stop this and take care of each one of your affairs."

Muna and Zakila look shocked by the words of Dusk, as well as Maya and Luna. They did not expect that Dusk could say that at this moment.

"I know you are busy in your own affairs. I can also handle my own business. Look at you guys right now, say okay, but what is this?"

Dusk looked annoyed but what he said was the truth. They've been pretty busy lately. But they could still take the time to meet and lunch together was already a miracle.

It was no secret that training at level 5 was extremely difficult. They have to train harder than ever before. They also have to collect a lot of points to be able to do a student exchange later. If they only practiced it-it was the same, then what difference did they have with the level below.

They also have to take exams every day. Perhaps this is also what makes Maya and Muna who are knights become so dizzy with the many essays they have to memorize.

Of course, to Luna essai was nothing, but to a knight who only used muscles in all matters. It's so annoying and annoying. So many of them have to learn more than before.

"We understand, but..."

"There's no need to be afraid, there's me here" Zakila proudly cut off. Of course this was just an assumption that Zakila was able to do it. In fact, level 4 is also not an easy level for some people.

Level 4 was a complicated level where they had to maintain initial conditions in order for the group formation to not fall apart. For Dusk who was a magician, it was very easy. He only learned about the theory of circles and spells to make his magic work well.

Contrary to the Guardian who must use their magic to make a defense so that its members are not injured. At this time, Dusk spends a lot of time in class. Zakila spent a lot of time in the field.

They even often went to the artificial forest in Academics to test how strong the barrier they created was.

"I can take good care of myself. So calm down."

It was the last word of Dusk before they parted. After that, they went back to their classes. The end of the lunch was settled by their decision to trust each other.
