Evelyn's eyes were still closed as her legs rested on the ground. Then blink and open.
Everyone stared at Evelyn.
"You're back?" shrieked Nazareth as he rushed towards Evelyn with sparkling eyes.
Migi Vox darted ahead of Nazareth, then grabbed Evelyn and crept around the girl's neck.
Evelyn was flabbergasted and looked around with a puzzled look on her face. What the hell's going on? thought. Why did they all see ghosts?
"You made it?" victoria exclaimed happily as she jumped down from the low cliff near where Evelyn was standing now. Its wings spread as if it were prancing.
Evelyn turned to the bat-winged woman with a questioning look.
"You've got your spiritual chakra, Eve!" Victoria's telling.
"really?" Evelyn and Nazareth screamed at the same time. Then it fell silent as they stared at each other.
"You can communicate with monster fairies?" hiss Evelyn.
"Ah—" Nazareth stuttered and smiled clumsily.
"Yes, you can!" Evelyn concluded while glancing back.
Nazareth turned his face a little while rubbing the back of his head in a misbehavioral manner.
Goliath behind Evelyn suddenly sighed and twisted his body against Evelyn, then passed away with both shoulders hanging limply on her side.
Everyone glanced towards the goliath, and looked at his back with a puzzled look.
"Hey-wait!" Evelyn screeched as she stretched out her hand, trying to hold the giant back, but only reaching for empty air.
The giant stopped and turned to Evelyn.
"Hectors!" the giant said, "That's my name" he said as he continued his steps.
"Alright," Evelyn said with a smile. "Thanks, Hector!"
The giant just flicked his hand at a glance without looking back again.
Nazareth stretched out his hand towards Evelyn hesitantly, then stopped a few inches from the girl's face. The look in his eyes emitted an unbearable longing. But on the other hand he also felt guilty which made him more wrong.
Evelyn blinked and looked at the handsome face of her lover who was also her guardian. For a moment he did not know what to do. But then bowed while rubbing Migi Vox's back.
Nazareth smiled faintly and pulled his hand quickly. The girl's gentle touch on Migi Vox's back warns her subtly that she should keep her attitude. Everyone is staring at them!
"Alright," said Nazareth, with a look. "Because I made this mess" he confessed. "I'll take care of it myself!" he said, then jumped towards the cliff and landed on his peak with both hands crossed behind his body. "Now get ready!" he instructed all the forest dwellers.
Then all the beings around him simultaneously knelt down on Nazareth.
Everyone was flabbergasted and looked around, staring at all the monster elves kneeling towards Nazareth, even a rabbit-class little beast bowed in a respectful manner.
Evelyn giggled amusedly at the rabbit.
His friends looked and frowned.
Electra exchanged glances with her friends, then glanced at Xenephon and Nyx Cornus.
The two guardians looked up at Nazareth with similarly puzzled expressions.
Everyone finally looked up to see what the owner of their academy would do.
The man raised one side of his hand on the side of his face and twisted his middle and index fingers which in an instant gave rise to a disc-shaped golden halo of light at his fingertips. He flicked his finger, and at once the halo floated around in circles, then began to grow, and continued to grow until it reached all over the place to the corners of the Monster Fairy Hunt Forest, where it was located, then it settles and seeps into the ground.
The Monster Fairy Hunt Forest recovered to its original state, glowing and twinkling. The colorful light powder was again fluttering around the forest. The fairy flowers are back on fire and blooming.
"They kept their promise!" whispered one of them with a relieved expression.
"It turns out that the people of the Order of Angelos are this great!" muttered the other guard with an astonished expression.
Moments later, the party finally came out of the forest to be greeted by the bow of respect of all the guards.
From the corner of the forest, someone was watching Evelyn while smiling sideways. His face was hidden under the hood of his dark-colored robe.
As soon as the gate closed, the figure swirled like a tornado, then evaporated like dust swept away by the wind.
The group returned to the academy with mixed feelings. Some began to look respectfully at Nazareth despite his more confusion. Some began to wonder about the identity of the owner of the academy. Even more curious about the scandal, although it is quite clear.
Nyx Cornus and Xenephon were not surprised by Nazareth's behavior even though he had only first seen the man using the protective fairy core strength technique he had written himself. As Nyx Cornus said, Nazareth could be anyone in Neraida, especially in the world of spiritual masters. They were not even surprised to learn the fact that Evelyn could communicate with the monster fairies and was touted as the Princess, considering that the girl's ancestor once triumphed as a king in the fairy land. More than surprised by their scandal.
But absorbing the spiritual chakra without killing the monster elf…
How did Evelyn do it? Nyx Cornus wondered in her heart.
This was definitely a new thing in the world of spiritual masters!
In addition to the Ten Core Strength Theory of the Guardian Elves, Nazareth had also published the Theory of the Nine Human Chakras. But again only theory without evidence.
And again, Evelyn managed to realize the theory of Nazareth.
It was near noon when their horse-drawn carriage passed at the foot of the mountain entering the narrow abyss between the high walls, as if the mountain had been split open by a knife, giving way for them to pass by.
The journey home was much slower than when I left. Throughout the rest of the journey, their carriage was gripped by a long, bewildering silence. Each one was immersed in his own thoughts.
Migi Vox was still writhing around Evelyn's neck, slipping her face in the recess of the girl's shoulder, clinging to her as if hundreds of full moons had not met.
Nazareth froze at their side, as if suddenly stupid!
Nyx Cornus watched them silently from across the seat.
Electra is drowsy on the Nyx Cornus side.
All at once, their car snapped.
Electra was aghast and instantly her sleepiness disappeared.
Migi Vox flinched and darted out the window.
It was at that moment that they heard a loud crackling sound that blared.
The train stopped suddenly, followed by the sound of a metal explosion clashing on the side of the train.
"Xen, are you okay?" Nyx Cornus screamed in panic as he jerked the curtains open.
Electra caught a glimpse of the all-black outfit complete with a headscarf and a face veil. That guy! he realized. The mysterious man who confronted him in the city's garbage dump.
The man was now standing in the middle of the road facing their carriage with a number of men in ninja uniforms, complete with a pair of swords crossed on their backs, wearing a face veil and a headscarf.
"Kefas!" nazareth grumbled while pounding the floor of the carriage with his feet.
The entire carriage flinched and flabbergasted staring at Nazareth—Evelyn was no exception.
The man tightened his jaw and jumped out of the carriage. Then stood in front of the line of men in ninja uniforms with furious expressions.
"Kefas?" Electra hissed and frowned. Then he looked at his guardian, "Damon?"
Evelyn stared at the two with eyes squinted.
