Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E39] Suspicious

"Disregard what you think isn't right, and do what you want. Because life is only once, so have fun."

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

Today's lesson is as boring as ever. Prof Daru who teaches the science of magic defense makes Dusk feel tired. He never even listened to the words of the Professor in the first place.

"All I need is elemental control not this boring defense. After all for what guardians there are if we have to do defense as well." Inner Dusk indifferently.

"Magic always doubles up to do crazy useless things" continued Dusk while recalling the black magic in Guira kingdom.

"If you understand this well, tomorrow we will have a basic training session. Learn the magic-circle formula and if something is poorly understood, report it to me immediately or learn from your friends who already understand."

"Good Prof." answered all the students simultaneously.

"Then I'll let..." Prof Daru paused for a moment when he saw one of the students in the front row raise his hand.

"Damn it, he again." another student sneered around the student.

"Prof, I don't understand the symbols in this section." the student shows a small dot-shaped symbol between two diagonal circles.

"What does that little dot mean?" continued.

"Gosh, what is he asking exactly? Is he stupid?" ask the other students in annoyance.

In addition to Dusk, many other students are also bored with this lesson. They also do not care much about defense magic, because they think that magic is attacking not defending.

"..."

Prof Daru only looked at the student with his friendly smile. He seemed to want to laugh but also held it back.

"This point is a cancellation magic. It was like a flaw in a magic pattern. Your main task is not only to make patterns, but also to perfect them." cried Prof Daru after he was silent for a while.

The entire student reacted with shock, they did not expect that this class would be difficult. It is easy to learn a pattern but to perfect it takes more than 15 days, even then it must be done more thoroughly.

While the time given by Prof Daru is only one week to perfect the magic pattern. This is what makes the eyes of all students in the class wide open.

"I know you guys are very uninterested in this defense magic, but you should also know in the fight not only attack but also defend." continued Prof Daru still with his friendly smile.

"I realized if it wasn't for this compulsory lesson, then you would never have come to my class. So I wonder which one of you really intends to enter this class."

After saying that, Prof Daru immediately rushed away from the classroom. He seemed annoyed after leaving the class, instead of not knowing if the students did not like his class, he just did not want to admit it.

"Fuck, it's all because of you!" shouted one of the students on the back bench in annoyance.

"Foolish basis, if I don't ask then we'll all fail in this class later," the student snapped in annoyance.

He also never thought about it, to be honest he just casually asked about the magic pattern because he wanted to play around with Prof Deru. Not once or twice did he play with Prof in this class. He always played with them to the extent that other students around him were upset.

"But still you always get us in trouble." cried the other with a similarly upset face.

"But this time you're lucky to keep us from falling into a trap, but if next time you do as well as you do again, then we won't stay silent." the others continued before he chose to quit the class.

The student was just silent, he was also sorry but seeing from the expression on his face, he did not even intend to stop. He will continue to do his thing until he gets what he wants from this academy.

"Making the Profs ashamed and admitting he was smart, it was all for the sake of raising his father's position from a Vincount to a Count." murmured one of the students who was beside Dusk.

Not only that student, but all the students in this academy were aware of it. His father was a wealthy Vincount who wanted to take over the inheritance of his grandfather who was a Count from his uncle who was currently the head of a new family.

"The life of a complicated nobleman," Inner Dusk while tidying up his stationery.

Honestly, Dusk is not afraid of the challenge given by Prof Daru. He can even do more than that, of course, it needs to be accompanied by a perfect example.

After finishing tidying up the stationery, Dusk then quit the class. But before he came out, a voice called out his name.

"Senja." the voice looked so happy.

"Well..." Dusk looked lazy to answer the call from the owner of the voice.

"Senja." call that voice again.

"Yes" replied Dusk kindly as he turned his face to look at the owner of the voice.

"Where's the rush going?" ask Kira as their distance gets closer.

"I..," Dusk seemed to think for a moment before resuming his words.

"Okay, I'm confused too." continued Dusk lazily.

"I know you're dizzy with that magic pattern, but take it easy we'll train together to perfect it later." exclaimed Kira while putting on a warm friendly smile.

"Ah, yes. Thank you." reply Twilight pleased.

"Good, then let's go to the library together to find the answer, but before that you have to eat. I heard you were so unwell that you didn't show up for class last night."

Kira pulled the hand of Dusk into her arms. He carried Dusk beside him as if they were good close friends.

"Truly disgusting," the inner Twilight fed up.

Even so Dusk did not intend to reject Kira as he wanted to see the extent of his ruse. He also wanted to know what exactly Kira and his group behind him planned, so he chose silence.

****

"Although his face looks fine, but if observed carefully it will be clear that the face is very pale," Kira's mind after seeing the face of Dusk up close.

"It turns out the rumors are true," Kira continued while eating her food.

He smiled happily at the current state of Dusk. Although previously he was upset because the rumor looked fake but now he was so happy because the real face of Dusk was already visible in front of him.

This time there will be no one to interrupt their time. It was because of the friends who were far away from him. They would not meet Dusk for a while this was because the activities they were facing were so dense.

"If this works then I'll get the position." her mind is happy.

"What's Kira doing, you're just smiling happily? Have you found the answer to that pattern?" ask Dusk plain.

"Ah yes.., uh I mean not yet." replied Kira shocked when she just realized from her daydream.

"So what makes you so happy?" ask Dusk again.

"That's.., I'm glad we could be together after all this time."

Kira did not lie, she was really happy when she was with Dusk at this time. But that's not in a good sense. Even after saying that, he then handed a bottle of water to Dusk.

"Because your physical condition is not healthy, so I made this." Kira gives dragon fruit juice at Dusk.

"This juice will make your body improve" he continued, still putting on a friendly smile.

"Thank you," replied Dusk gladly.

"I think the rumors have spread, but strangely where are they?" inner Dusk while waiting for the arrival of Zakila.

It was unusual for Zakila to leave Dusk without news. Usually they always take the time to dusk even though in a busy state.

"There is something strange," continued Dusk while drinking the juice.

"How does it feel?" ask Kira kindly.

"It's delicious.., thank you." reply Twilight is no less friendly.

Twilight's acting was great, he even made Kira unconscious if the juice was not even drunk by him.

"The taste of this juice is delicious, but the content of toxins in it is very dangerous." Inner Dusk indifferently.

"Finally my efforts paid off," Kira muttered as she looked at the innocent face of Dusk who was not even aware that all her food and drink had been poisoned.

"If Dusk continues to eat all this, then he will die slowly." continued Kira who could not cover up his pleasure.

"I guess you should try it a little bit too" Dusk offered the fruit juice. Compared to food, this fruit juice has much more toxic levels.

"I can't, because it's specially made for you." replied Kira with a face that began to panic.

"I know, so I want you to taste it a little. Is there a problem with that?" ask Dusk again while twirling the bottle of drink.

Kira looks doubtful, she is afraid that Dusk will realize that he is pretending. Although Dusk looks innocent but it cannot be denied that he is actually a smart child.

"Damn," Kira's inner as she took the bottle from Dusk.

Seeing the dragon fruit juice before him made cold sweat splash down Kira's neck. Unfortunately it could not be seen because Kira wore a long scarf to cover her neck.

"Damn you Twilight," Kira's inner self once again upon seeing the innocent smile of Dusk watching her.

"Let's have a drink" exclaimed Dusk with warm arched lips.

"You should also know what it tastes like," the inner twilight impatiently saw Kira's reaction to drinking the juice.

With Kira forced to drink the juice, he seemed to enjoy it even though he clearly did not like it.

"It's delicious," Kira said after one gulp.

"If it's good, then drink it again." replied Dusk still with his innocent smile.

"That can't, I made it special for you my time should spend this."

"But I'm full? It's a pity if this delicious juice should be thrown away."

Kira thought for a moment before answering the question Dusk returned.

"You can save this for later and..."

"But then it doesn't feel good anymore, I feel guilty about it." cut Dusk while looking sad while Kira became very upset.

He subconsciously grasped his palm tightly while holding back the anger of seeing the sad face of Dusk.

"Suck, does he want to play with me?" batin Kira was angry.

"Because you said it was good, why don't you just spend it. After all from the moment you didn't eat anything." Excited Dusk with a worried face.

"There's no time for lunch, because soon we'll be in Prof Lila's class. You know for yourself it's not that Prof Lila really dislikes students who look hungry in her class." continued Dusk while looking at the school wall clock that shows at 13:55 p.m.

Kira who heard the word Dusk became quite emotional. He wanted to get angry and force Dusk to drink the juice but he could not do it for fear that Dusk would be suspicious of him.

"I have to how?" batin Kira panicked while looking at the bottle that was still full of dragon fruit juice.

"Kira? Is something wrong?" ask Dusk again.

"Nothing, I'll drink it." replied Kira as she closed her eyes tightly.

"Of course Dira has an antidote for this poison, so I can calm down." her mind tries to calm down.

In the end, Kira drank the dragon fruit juice. He drank it with one gulp before they decided to return to class.

"Hahaha.., this is only the beginning of the game, so don't give up just like that." Inner Dusk was satisfied when he saw Kira's tormented face.
