Chapter 10: Noah Ark

The silir of the wind blew the curtains, the birds peeked shyly from the wet branches of the rest of the morning dew. The sun was so bright, the look from the window woke up the gray eyelids. He immediately sat down, quickly shaking his head.

"What ... The master?"

Looking around, now in place before all the strange happenings—Apple room. Hastily check in the direction of mattress—reh—there the blonde girl is sleeping. Without a second thought Pipe Fox shook the girl's body. The shock even made Apple more asleep in the pillow.

"Hummn, five minutes ...."

The blue fox stopped his hand, letting the girl rest. Must be tired— thought—and the incident must have been a dream because it happened so fast and strange. So does the silver-haired woman, just a dream. Maybe paraniod because of events far away in that place. Better not to think about it. Now he is not alone, already owns Apple and swears to be faithful until the end of his breath. The first stranger who gives a soul, even if it has been attacked, cannot waste his kindness.

"Well!" Surprised the girl made the Pipe Fox startled to the point that the fur stood up. The blonde hair was tangled, he sat down and also looked around. Both are like dazed people.

"What time is this?!"

"E-eeh? It's morning ... ?"

"Comebody! Gotta get ready, sleepy last night."

"Why Master?" wonder Pipe Fox heard the demands of Apple's remarks.

"I've been off the mission for a week! Well, because of the bags and exam brother .. far behind!"

Really in a hurry, back and forth preparing advance bag; out and out of the bathroom. Continues to nag even with conditions like this. Pipe fox was just speechless, confused about what to do, maybe someone could help .. but quickly Apple grabbed his hand.

"Can you track down brother? Like yesterday looking for a bag. Help find Jin too, huh? I'm mohooon."

"Bi-can, um, follow me." The fox obeyed the precept, throwing confusion away. Just doing what the master asked for would definitely be fine.—benaknya.

Both of them ran, really don't know the brakes. Passing through multiple doors; space; blocks. Pipe fox accelerates like evasive when it comes to a turn. Whichever Apple could, he bumped into what the blue fox was avoiding.

The papers were scattered, floating like feathers. The person who was hit was shocked, Apple and himself fell. "Ac, Apple ...."

A familiar voice, Apple immediately looked up. "Sister Jin! Eh? Sorry ...."

The Vermillion youth smiled as a guilty look from the blue eyes pointed at him. Stand up, pat the back of the clothes because it fell down and help the students get up. "It's okay? Sorry, but it has been busy lately. It's an exam."

"Yes .. but, brother!" Apple raised the voice but did not finish the words. A hopeful look at the blonde youth, like waiting for something even now to tiptoe.

What code is this? Jin was confused as to what to say. Looking around ... is there a fox demon? He even picked up a piece of paper. Apple still does not stop, occasionally glancing at the stealth and pointing advance bag, whether ....

"Oh! Actually, you have a mission, but you can't run it because of the exam. Apple can?"

It seems like what Jin thought was right on target. Apple's excited but he's holding on, obviously koan— skipping small—lucunya. Again, this young man was made to laugh.

"Hmmm it feels like miss the cute students, want to take a walk for a while?"

"You!" quickly the girl replied, very innocent.

"Ahahaha, is this Apple's fox?"

"Yes! His name is Pipe Fox, I want to be a Tamer!" The smile is engraved and Jin slaps the girl's blonde hair, proudly blooming inwardly.

Jin watches the stealth—from toe to head—a special introduction if encountering a new creature. Come to think of it, how could this girl get kitsune? Did he go far? Kitsune is a demon that is difficult to touch, even requires a sacrifice, what else if a bond with him. But this fox is Apple-like, round gray eyes; the body is not so tall. It looks like Apple has already entered into a contract with him, what kind of contract is that? This little girl probably has talent and potential.

"Apple, can you control Pipe Fox well?"

"O-oh! Look listen, I was able to meet with Brother Jin because of the help of Pipe Fox, great right? Yesterday I had a hard time finding but now ...." On the way, the two people in front were chatting.

Looking warm, the blonde youth chuckled and the girl looked cheerful. Better not to be bothered—think Pipe fox. Grasping a few sheets of paper. They look good, happy master, but why in the chest----

"Why daydream? Come on, you'll miss it!" Apple pulled the sleeve of Pipe Fox, greeted by a warm gaze from Jin. Maybe ... the feeling alone, the fox demon carved a horse smile.

...-ooO-i...

He ran too fast until his steps were blocked, but he did not stop. Back up and pull a step despite staggering. Had to stop to take a breath and gather the rest of the energy, no, there was no time for that. Continuing to fall made her silver hair tangle. The vision blurred as blood was pumped fiercely, the legs trembled. No, you can't stop, you have to keep running. What happened yesterday was too out of the ordinary. Leona realized that something was wrong was happening. There was a great intensity, having to report to Yukio immediately. More ....

Another bit! The typical teak door has caught the eye. The door knob he touched but failed, the hand breaking from the wrist. The katana slats cut through the bone and the pulse like butter. The blood is flowing smoothly as fresh pulse is pumped by the heart, flooding the white floor. The smell of rust typical of pain-relieving fluid also rushes. Where his hand bounced, he did not care because of the excruciating pain flared into the crown. If you scream it will surely be heard to the corners of the academy, but he can't because his mouth is silenced in the clutches of pale hands.

The all-black young man raised Leona's body easily like this woman was nothing. They're clashing. Leona's eyes were rounded with irises unceasingly shaking, while her eyes were.

"You know? In the end ... stuck in a circle and did the same."

The door was very loud as if it was kicked from within. Clearly Yukio was furious, gritting his teeth with two black eyebrows almost meeting. An angry look checked around, looking for what? Because there's nothing there. Hissing and unceasing cursing to the point of slamming the door of a private office. A few steps sounded in the hallway. Yukio walked over quickly making the black robe slightly flung.

Perhaps the emotions were already unstoppable, giving off a gripping aura. Until the female soot hair was dumbstruck and stopped the step.

"Teachers rarely get out-ah!" When Mizu was about to say hello, her arm was pulled quickly by Yukio, indeed her gaze was sharp.

"Mizu, new assignment, find the whole student."

"Huh?! Ta-but it'll take time, let alone one go far--"

"No objection!" Throwing Mizu's hand to the point that Shikurai fell.

Never had Mizu seen Yukio this angry, not even paying attention to her heartache. Keep moving with relentless growling. The shop door he broke with his clenched left arm, almost to the point of breaking the bell. Xavier is surprised, hiding the obscene magazine he read, what was discovered? Yukio quickly pulled Xavier's collar. Although this golden-eyed man was much more stocky, but this glasses man pulled him very strong. You cannot judge someone from the outside. Ah, dead he—his thoughts—Yukio wrathful once.

"What's still distributing the mission?"

"L-yes, every afternoon I check the mission board and see the documents in the office."

"Cancel all missions and special classes! The orders of all teachers are to look for students on duty!"

"Huh?! But---"

"No objection!"

...-ooO-i...

The small hut of the Hexairs garden in the canopy of nature's silvery, blonde girl and blue fox sitting side by side. Jin stood in front of them watching closely, how adorable they were. Rarely meet kitsune like Apple because they are on average thousands of years old. What contract was interwoven until this fox was exactly his master? Whatever it is, they're perfectly compatible. Jin was endlessly wiping their heads. Well, he loves little kids.

Apple enjoyed this, but Pipe fox was annoyed. Actually he does not like to be touched except by the Master, in a way he does not want to refuse because the Master is also treated the same. Finally Jin sat down on the side of Apple, but quickly the Pipe fox filled the space between them. Looking up with a reddened face, it seemed like this fox was a little protective. Apple tilted his head, while the young Vermillion laughed a little, he understood the meaning of the gestures.

"Aple not feeling tired?"

"Tired? No, why should I be tired?"

"Ah, if the familiar is too long free will drain the magic power of his master ...."

"Eh? Not if you separate far and use a new power drained huh?"

Ah shit, losing to the students themselves, having to learn more. Doctor and Tamer are his weaknesses, Jin prefers to be a Knight. However, all jobs must be learned. Before long the blonde youth took out a small book in a waist bag, back immersed in paper.

Silence accompanies. Pipe fox pensive, not good at opening conversations even though just small talk. Jin was busy studying, naturally, in the exam period. Apple ... he's shaking his legs. Until the girl looked all over the park, maybe met Exons— she thought.

"Why Apple?"

"uh? No. gabe. Oh yeah, what exactly protects EA?"

"Protect? Yukio ... ?"

"Ah open, means barrier." The clapper pointed at the sky as blue as his eyes. Jin and Pipe fox looked up at the same time. Intrigued by what the master meant, wagging the tail accompanied by a movement in the ears of the long fox.

"Oh, ahahaha. Apple wants to know? Let's go, brother will show you something."

Pulling steps, back tailing with blue fox—different from yesterday-yesterday—who always follow; fight together; protect each other. Maybe this is the best choice, Apple does not know after death what it will be like, but why too think of death if we are still alive. Enjoy your time as best you can. Apple is grateful to meet Pipe Fox, no regrets. Feeling the girl's grip on him, Pipe fox blushed again.

Where exactly is Jin going to take them? This road is different than usual, not even reflected in the location plan. The blond girl looked back, they were already far outside the EA area because the buildings and buildings were clearly visible from here. Entering the forest, shady trees shade. Silent, there are no birdsong or insects, just coolness from the burning substances of trees and sunlight.

Stalled step. Mouth Pipe fox sponges, why? Apple stared at what the fox saw and, my goodness ..they were standing in front of a giant white door, towering twenty meters? Or more? Too big to be called a regular door.

"This is what protects EA?"

"Who-you mean?" Jin smiled at the astonished Apple.

Instead of answering the question, he pointed to a pagoda. Not far away or because the pagoda is high until it is clearly visible?

"There lived Pure who founded EA and provided magic items for Exorcism activities. He also made the gate ... This has its own history, you want to hear?"

"You!" Apple quickly replied with excitement. Pipe fox docked, curious and it was clearly visible from sparkling eyes. They're so sweet, it's Jin's best day of testing.

They sat down with the senior telling a story, like storytelling. This was not long after Adam was removed from heaven. Back then the earth was covered in dystopia—destruction. Humans have leaders with strange powers and perform an illegal experiment with the help of state officials and clan leaders, until born the child of the fragment of the body of the 7 Great Demon of Sin. The Earth was eventually covered by fire, but not all humans became extinct.

Those who follow closely, in the hearts of many do not accept the decree of the Earth Re-start, but are hidden for the good of themselves and of mankind. Devastation arrives and those with great powers open a portal connecting between the Another World and the human world. That's the portal in front of them—Ark.

They had no idea that moving humans to Another World was bad. Humans with weak soul power, eventually contaminated. Souls are consumed by darkness and demons, called Corrupted—Creatures of Another World. The only survivors are humans with great soul power and magic. That's why the world has so many magic users.

The state dignitaries and clan leaders felt guilty for attending the meeting but could not prevent the annihilation. Aware of sin, they try to make amends. Building an organization called the Ghost Guild and spending time in Another World as a symbol of regret, considers it unworthy to live on earth because they indirectly damage it. It is spearheaded by the leader of Nura—Scarlet— because he is the greatest person to feel guilty about.

The Ghost Guild's task is to deal with the creatures of the Another World and the demons that managed to enter the human realm, because the continuity of the two worlds is unstable. This can happen because of Pure's help. He had strength surpassing humans in general, just like the leader who conducted this illegal experiment. Pure sealed the Ark and built the Exorcist Academy, it was this gate that protected EA and the human world subtly. Although it turns out there are still small portals open just any.

Actually the details that happened were not so Jin understood. However, their actions are referred to as repentance. Pure helped them as well as the legend of the Yggdrasil tree. Yggdrasil made the earth habitable after the destruction, became the cradle of life and the lungs of the world so that humans could return to their homeland. No one knows the truth of Yggdrasil, no one has ever met Pure. Just Yukio ... Jin knew this story from her.

Apple immediately stood up, not expecting the person nicknamed Scarlet to have such a huge burden. Why didn't he say anything? Maybe you don't want to make people harder? Truly feeling guilty, to the point of no longer wanting to set foot into the human world. It was a complicated thing for this girl to digest, but hearing it all made her enthusiastic. What was done was indeed for the sake of the general public, really heroic. We can definitely make the human world back stable—he thought—had to complete more tasks. Can't lose to that red-eyed old man. He clasped his hands tightly, excited. Jin who saw the little girl's behavior chuckled again.

Without a second thought the blonde girl ran, wanting to quickly carry out the newly obtained mission from the guidance teacher. However, a step gasped after seeing the presence of the brown hair male. "Well Exons! Come with us from Hexairs park huh?"

"Ahahaha, more or less. I saw you earlier, just wanted to say hello .. already gone."

"Oh, oh! I want to tell you a story, listen listen! I have a new familiar, called Pipe Fox ..."

The girl pulled the Exons hand, quickly walked up followed by the blue fox. While Jin was stunned, how could the Exons come here? And ... there's an important thing that's awkward but can't this blond young man remember, what is it? Too much thinking about theory and material to forget anything else. When this exam is finished—lukannya until a long time has passed.

"The vermillion!" His mind faded upon hearing a call, the man in the same uniform as Jin.

"What's wrong? Why is it so rushed?"

"You're so hard to find, haaah, I got around the academy earlier."

"Return your breath first ...."

"Well, that doesn't matter! Our exams are backtracked."

"Huh?! Why?" shock Jin.

"Yukio ... Yukio was furious once, he canceled the entire mission and class. The student on duty is now in search."

What the hell's going on? Why was Yukio so angry that the activity was completely shut down? Something's not right. Before long, Jin remembered just giving the mission to the blonde girl. But he's gone, must be followed.

"Dam! Where are you going Vermillion?!"

"Finding students."

"We are not allowed to leave the academy, only the teachers and Mizu!"

"But Apple is in danger! Especially Mizu ... akh, let go of my hand!"

"Stupid!" One fist was strong until the blond youth fell to the ground. Staring at the wailing of the guy who punched—segment friend.

"Conscious! Yukio has never been so angry! There must be something very dangerous going on to issue a two-way alert. I know you're the best among us, but don't be rash! Let the teachers and Mizu handle it, I know you're worried but in the end, you just slow down their work!" His words were piercing, painful, very painful because they were too true.
