Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E81] The Figure Behind 46

"Silence and silence are important keys in observing someone."

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

Third Floor Dormitory Building

The calm atmosphere of the night seems to be a beautiful melody for Dusk. The melody was so intoxicating as if it was singing along with the cry of the night wind. The wind that violently hit the tiny body of Dusk.

But Dusk seemed indifferent to it. Although occasionally his hair was played by the wind, Dusk seemed to not care. Dusk paid more attention to what Prof Edward had told him before he was thrown out of the room.

"Brown hair with bright blue eyes" murmured Dusk as he recalled the description Prof Edward gave him.

"Brown hair.." repeat Dusk once again.

Dusk did not realize that he had said that sentence repeatedly. Because the twilight still can not find who the senior figure who will accompany it.

For Dusk the description Prof Edward gave him was far too general. Anyone knew that most of the students in the academy had brown hair and blue eyes.

"There's no way I should ask one by one of them." lamented Dusk annoyed.

The still confused twilight decided to stay on the balcony. He plans to spend the night there.

Exactly an hour he was there suddenly a Pipit bird perched beside him. The bird is light blue with a slight brown pattern on its wings.

"Hmm, what is this?" ask Dusk when you see the bird's feet.

"Is it time? I thought it would be a little longer." continued Dusk as he picked up the paper at the bird's feet.

A second later after the paper was successfully released, the Pipit bird went away leaving Dusk. Before the scalloped bird Pipit had flown a few rounds on the head of Dusk and then disappeared from behind the darkness.

Seeing the bird disappear made Dusk a little confused. Usually the mail-sending birds will ask for payment before they leave, and usually Dusk gives a piece of bread or meat depending on what type of bird they are.

"Weird, why did he leave so easily." lirih Dusk when he was about to take out a crack of biscuits from his pajama bag.

Dusk then put the crumbs back in and immediately cleaned his hands using a tissue on the balcony table.

"I wonder if the mission was successful or not" murmured Dusk after his hands cleared from the crack of the biscuit.

Then I opened the paper and read it. At first Dusk looks ordinary until the next few lines a smile appears at the end of the lips Dusk.

"As I suspected," lirih Dusk pleased. He burned the paper before entering the room.

"Aquila Noime,"

Dusk smiled mischievously, he then faintly recalled the description given by Prof Edward regarding the senior with the number 46.

At the same time as the joy of the twilight there was a young girl who felt cold on her back.

The girl restlessly wiped away the cold sweat that made her unable to sleep well. He felt that soon a great danger would befall him and drag him into an endless vicious cycle.

"Damn, why am I like this?" the inner girl.

It had been since the afternoon the girl felt a taboo strange feeling. A feeling that even the saint animal would find difficult to describe.

"It's all because of the boy" the girl grumbled as she woke up from her sleep.

The girl then walked out of her room, choosing to clear her mind before going back to sleep again.

"I hate to admit it but she's so weird." shrieked the girl with a wry smile on her lips.

After a long walk the girl finally decided to sit for a while in the garden dormitory. While enjoying the cold of the night, suddenly he was surprised by another figure who approached him.

Agilely the girl pulled her dagger in a position ready to attack. When the figure was close enough, with one move he began to attack the vital point of the figure.

"Sial Noime, what are you doing?" shouted the figure annoyed.

"Evan," Noime replied confusedly.

"I should ask, what are you doing here?" reply Evan when he was about to sit on the side seat of Noime.

"Me?" noime asked confusedly.

"Yes you, what are you doing here alone? I saw you coming out of the dorm so I came to say hello." Evan explained briefly.

"..."

Noime did not answer, instead he looked at Evan with a disgusted expression on his face, as if he was looking at the figure of an annoying pervert.

"Hey, I'm not a pervert. You know." exclaimed Evan annoyed.

"No way," Noime replied by squinting both of his eyes sharply.

"Damn I'm telling you the truth, just look at this."

Evan then showed me the bag of crackles he had been carrying. The bag contains snacks and carbonated drinks. If viewed from the temperature of the drink can be ascertained if it was just purchased a while ago.

"I came out hungry" continued Evan while giving the drink to Noime.

"No, I don't need that."

Seeing Noime refuse his gift makes Evan deliberately open the drink and drink it directly in front of Noime.

"Well, fresh." exclaimed Evan satisfied.

"Huh, I came back first." shrieked Noime before standing up from his seat. He then left Evan alone and immediately returned to his dorm room.

Evan who was looking at Noime's back looked indifferent. Honestly, Evan knew that Noime was one of the seniors who would accompany the second year junior for the exam this time.

"I'm sure he's got the worst junior so he can't sleep in peace." - Evan's inner self before moving on from his seat.

"But this makes me wonder what kind of test Noime will give to that troubled student," Evan continued with a mischievous smile on his lips.

In addition, Evan also knows that Noime is currently on a class D mission. The mission was given specifically by the academy to sixth and seventh graders.

So that in addition to Noime must accompany his junior, he must also complete the missions given in accordance with the schedule set by the academy. If the mission passes from the deadline, then Noime must give it to other students.

This is the reason why many seniors are so hard to find. They prefer to complete the missions given by the academy rather than having to accompany second-year juniors.

"Hmm, how many juniors has he abandoned because he chose to run the mission?" muttered Evan as he was about to enter his dorm building.

"Ah, I guess it's been more than five people. Shit, I hope that Junior won't have any trouble this time."

Although he looked worried, Evan did not care at all. As seniors he and his other colleagues had top priorities to run.

Moreover, all seniors knew that this exam was only a stepping stone so they did not care much for the juniors taking the exam.

Most seniors prefer to hide their identities with numbers, which is why juniors are only given back numbers so that they can look for those seniors as initial missions.

"Again attachment to juniors will only harm them in even more difficult missions" Evan inner before entering his room.

Evan and most of the seniors who were in the sixth and seventh grades were aware that the mission they were on would be very difficult if the juniors intervened, therefore most seniors will give difficult tasks so that the junior will not disturb them as long as they are on a mission.

That is because the sixth and seventh grades are actively undergoing missions from the academy to get achievement points in order to graduate from Adeline Academy. This achievement point will be able to guarantee them to get the appropriate job.

It could be that if their achievement point is high then they will be able to enter the royal department or other trusted unions. And if their abilities are good, then they might be able to be appointed as permanent employees.

That was the reason why sixth and seventh grade seniors took missions more often. They do so to collect achievement points as a guarantee of the future after graduating from the Academy.

"Noime has to work hard to collect achievement points because he comes from among ordinary people. Had Noime been born a noble, perhaps one of the palace knight seats would have been his."

Evan knew how powerful Noime's abilities were, he realized that Noime's abilities would be much needed for the Green kingdom and other noble territories.

Unfortunately Noime was born as a commoner so it would be difficult for him to enter the palace or other noble houses unless Noime had a letter of recommendation from the teachers and principals.

"Noime, I hope that junior can lighten your load a little" Evan muttered before turning off his room light and starting to fall asleep.
