Sword Anthem's
Chapter 11 - Thank You

Fear immediately hugged the man who had lost his life so strongly, he cried incessantly. Then Aresya and Rena tried to rise from the shock, they approached the man

while casting healing magic.

In their minds is it true that the dead can be revived with healing magic?

Velia jumped from the second floor of the academy building, she immediately ran hastily towards the man she was in. Seeing Fear's great reaction, Velia could not deny what she saw. He can't say this is 'a lie' anymore.

Then followed by other teachers, Fay was the least trusting compared to other instructors. Because the man's words have come true 'Please take care of this academy if I don't exist'.

He could only cry bitterly, the man had given a myriad of colors to this academy even if only briefly. But now it is gone forever.

The students who had started to feel relieved came out of their classes from hearing the screams of a woman. Hiro and Reya shook violently when they found out that their beloved homeroom teacher was gone, she was covered in blood with her eyes completely closed.

While the rest of the Legion Knights could only sculpt, knowing that the teacher who had just accompanied them practiced was helpless with blood soaking in his body.

"Hmmm ... What's wrong? Why are you guys doing sculpting?" ask a student who just left class.

"Loki, how is it safe?" a female disciple followed the man, she was now behind him. His hair was bright orange and he used glasses.

"Mai .. can you slide a little I'm curious." This time it was the bright brown haired female disciple who was trying to get out.

"Hey ... Loki, Mai, Shiena, how are things outside?" ask one of the students in the class.

When Loki was confused as to what to say, he wondered why the look on the faces of the Legion Knights became so tense. Even Hiro and Reya, they were both kneeling down with their faces puffy. Then he also directed

his gaze came out of the academy and found a short brown-haired man drenched in blood.

The headmaster, Fear and head Velia shed tears around the man. Then he slightly changed his vision to the side, and finally could see the man's face clearly.

Loki fell down, kneeling like Reya and Hiro with a trembling mouth, "Instructor... Kuro?"

"What happened to Instructor Kuro? Loki?" shiena asked confusedly.  A voice that only he knew made him a little shocked. It turned out that it was Mai who was crying, she could not help it at all.

Tears keep falling non-stop. Then Shiena took a look out of the academy and he was like he was stung by electricity. His face froze and he shed his tears. "Kuro Structure!!!"

Aresya and Rena who had been trying to at least see the wink of the man's eyes had given up. Aresya was only speechless with a shocked face, she recalled her dark past.

The past shows the same thing as the events he is now experiencing. Where his loved ones disappear for good, leaving him in solitude. Just a sentence

it's what makes it alive up to now and it's 'Live, you don't have to look at the past. But look at the future that awaits you'.

And he remembered once with the look on the face of the man, but this time he could not see the look on the face of his loved one again. For eternity and no word of repetition of time anymore, he is dead.

He thought of giving his eternal life to the man but he could not. If he gives it up as he dies, he wants it but as a result of the man's words he

disallowing intentions.

Rena was only transfixed to see the brunette drenched with a lot of red liquid. Almost enveloped her perfectly, leaving only her beautiful eyes frozen.

The sometimes nosy jolly figure now looks like a dead doll with pale skin and a frozen face. Drenched in blood like a puddle of memories and withered hair like a dead plant.

He took the man's left hand, then lifted it up and put it on his cheek, "It's so cold, even though I knew it was warm" he said, *** the man's hand was strong, his face

no longer strong to hold the dam in both eyes.

The dam was finally destroyed and spewed out droplets of flowing water falling past her two soft cheeks. Velia could only mourn the man she loved with a sobbing face.

His chest rose and fell as if it was very heavy to see this with his two matans. Even though he had only been with her for two days, he was a very valuable figure for her.

A person who can provide comfort and warmth. His friendly and sometimes nosy attitude can always give a new color to his life. His smile that can make himself calm and also

the heat has now turned cold.

The man, the man who once saved her from solitude but this time he left her again and for good. It was cold, dark without any warmth. His heart was broken into pieces of the puzzle that had eliminated one piece that could be a complement.

Fear he can only continue to cry with his distinctive voice that is like a broken doll, will he be able to continue to live if the man he has regarded as a piece of his own heart disappears?

Without her who always accompany him every day, without her who always can make him smile wide, without her who always there is joking and laughter, without her—

"Kurooooo .. don't leave me, I'm afraid..."

But the man just froze, without saying a word. Because the key to open the door of his mouth has been destroyed and will never be able to return.

All the disciples could only stiffen up, they could not say anything.  They bite their own tongues to wake up from this nightmare. While Van can only turn his face as if looking tough.

Not long after that Fay began to lose his balance and eventually fell limp.

***

Magistra Academy

After yesterday's incident, a hero has been killed. He fought to save his innocent life at the cost of his own life. Aresya leads the funeral of the hero

those.

He only cleans his body, but the clothes used are the same clothes as yesterday. Velia and Fear helped bathe the man's body. When they are finished, they immediately

wear clothes that he loved a long time ago.

After that they came out to tell Van. He will lift up the body and put it in a chest full of white roses. Reya and Hiro and Loki are also helping because

this was the last honor they could do to him.

Finally they put it in the crate and lifted it out of the field. All the personnel, students, teachers were on the field lined up neatly using the Magistra academy uniform neatly.

The crate was lifted into the middle of the field, then after that put on a bright brown wooden table. Next to him was the hero's sword, on the handle of which was tied a white cloth.

The white cloth symbolizes his strength and kindness. Then Aresya came forward along with all the instructors who attended the funeral. But the most prominent of their only two instructors are Van Handeraz and Fay Reizan—Van Handeraz, handsome men with calm faces, blue hair and have a nature that seems cold but considerate.

Next to him was Fay Reizan, a white woman as white as snow. With her sweet and mature face she can always make the right decision. In certain situations his nature can turn 180o up like a demon.

They were all wearing neat white-blue uniforms. From the left side of their shoulders lie a rope to their right hip. It is black and grey and beautifully decorated.

Two pockets on the right and left sides of the abdomen, with two white buttons as hooks. The middle is made to resemble neat stitches with foliage motifs. At the base of his left and right arms are bounded by blue and black lines that are parallel to each other.

A white tie that is quite long and a pin that is attached to the collar of the left shirt. A dragon's head with two swords crossed and surrounded by silver leaves.

For the bottom are white trousers for men and a knee-length skirt for women. Black boots for men and for women are black pantofel shoes. Fay uses black stockings from the upper thigh to the base of the foot so that their skin is not visible.

And the appendages are black robes attached to the left and right shoulders. Hooked by a pair of white cloths and black studs. Makes them look like special forces.

While Aresya looks all ash, almost resembles the teachers only the color that shows off her beautiful body shape is ash. So that shows the degree and also the level on them.

Aresya came forward and gave a speech to her students who were lined up neatly, while Fear saw it from the roof of the Magistra Academy building.

"Good morning to all the disciples who were ready to line up neatly at this sad moment. An instructor who has just entered and joined you first graders, Instructor Kurokami Rei"

"Although he has only entered a few days, but thanks to him this academy became more lively. Giving unexpected things, I as the person who recruited him was very sad when he found out that

"Where he was willing to sacrifice his life to save us, save us people he may not yet know. The ones who might underestimate him, the ones who don't

care about him"

"He did not hesitate to risk his life for us, the students and personnel of the Magistra Academy in Ronove Kingdom. He is a figure that we must model and should be an example because of the determination of his heart that is willing to sacrifice"

"Many of you know him as a failed knight, but not today. Me and also the King of the kingdom of Ronove is giving the greatest appreciation to Instructor Kurokami Rei by giving it a second name as Heroes Of Magistra"

All of the disciples immediately applauded loudly, some whistled and some raised one of their friends up and caught him again.

"Now I will read his last message—"

All the disciples were astonished as to why the dead could leave the final message as to whether he was using magic. But they all came back to nature and knew it was impossible.

Aresya took out a paper filled with virgin stains. And finally the mystery was solved, it turns out that the last message is listed in a piece of kerta filled with red stains.

"Ehmmm .. alright now I will start reading it ...

To all my beloved students, especially my class. If you read or at least know this letter exists, I am dead and have left you forever.

This time I will just say something to the students I trained and also developed. First for Loki Minaghyr, look around you well or you will never be able to realize that your pants were once hollow even your subordinate's clothes were torn.

All the students and instructors who heard that laughed amusedly at the last message from the hero, while the mentioned disciple suppressed his embarrassment.

The second is for Shiena Khizwart, trust yourself with your actions. And don't dominate your surroundings too much if you don't want to be called a sadistic queen by your friends.

Again the sound of laughter was heard giggling from the direction of the Magistra disciples. However, the woman mentioned does not feel the same shame even though she seems very grateful because she was told.

The third is for the class president Mai Grels. You have tremendous potential if you can develop it. Please ask Instructor Fay to be able to develop your magic level as well as martial training.

If you were still like this, you wouldn't know that the male students who were outside of your classroom were always watching you with perverted gazes. If you find it to be a hit and slam it. Your instructor has given you permission, hehehehe.

Mai's face was blushing with great embarrassment but was very happy and Fay looked smiling happily to hear it.

The fourth one, for Hiro Einher. Master the limits of your abilities, you are very good at playing quick magic but you are very bad at defense. If you don't get yourself to thrive soon you'll always be seen as a little boy by Instructor Rena.

Hiro looked agitated, whereas Rena thought of him like a rancid boy? But his eyes showed a light of relief because he was told his weakness in detail. But for Rena he was very embarrassed. Van laughed at him occasionally, but he didn't notice it at all.

The fifth and final one is for Reya Leshar. You are too confident in your strengths to not know that you have too many weaknesses in your every move. If you want to make a big attack, then pay attention to your footwork and posture, if you don't pay attention to it, you can be reprimanded by Kyle and Grey.

Reya was shocked to hear that he never knew that his instructor knew it until it was like that. Kyle even Grey can only be amazed because his coach can know their habits.

Just so .. ahhh, there's one more. Are you wondering where this last letter or message was found? The answer is in my panties –

All the students, instructors even Aresya who read it herself was shocked by her sudden statement. They laughed amusedly at her, before Aresya continued the next part she could not stop her laughter. Even the other teachers until there is no one can stop laughing.

After that, Aresya continued her reading.

—Are you stupid? Huh! .. Where might I keep it there. For sure this is in my shirt pocket .. hahahahaha.

If you are angry because of this then blame who read it –

Aresya flinched again but she could only chuckle to herself.

Then enough to get here, warm greetings ... Kurokami Rei's.

"That's enough, and it seems that Instructor Kurokami seems to have succeeded in hitting all of us .. hahaha."

The expression that all the students and teachers lined up neatly looked bright. Clumps of clouds floated slowly, like snails chasing a bus. Blue sky and not so hot sunlight make the atmosphere very bright and cool.

After that Aresya also closed the sad moment with the last event that is the burning of the hero's chest. In the beliefs of the people of the Kingdom of Ronove, if there is a hero who died in his noble mission.

He must be burned to leave his ashes alone so that his spirit does not worry anymore. Aresya and the other seven teachers read a rune together and quickly a flame was created on the edge of the chest.

The fire was a reddish-blue color, blazing violently. The hero's sword gradually began to melt and become a wisp of lead. While the chest where the hero fell asleep eternally began to turn into flakes of ash that were blown by the wind.

"Sister Reiss, even though Brother is gone. Brother can still give us a joke that can make us all laugh cheerfully, we will always remember him. Since Brother is one of the best instructors we have ever had .. rest in peace" Aresya murmured.

Then all the Magistra academy personnel paid their last respects by shooting second-rate ice magic into the sky along with fire magic and lightning simultaneously.

A phenomenon was created and decorated the sky at that time beautifully.

Goodbye, Instructor Kurokami Rei .. we will always remember you in our hearts 'From your beloved class'.

Fear departs from the roof of the Magistra academy building and descends, accompanied by Velia to go to their house with the heroes who have died. But they accepted it, though,

so that the two of them can live their lives quietly and also full of laughter.

\~\~\~

A year has passed since the death of the hero. Velia's life with Fear is very quiet but because of Fear's actions that always make her laugh make her not feel that she is alone anymore.

Even though the man she loved was gone, it did not make her feel gloomy or sad. Now that the academy has established a new semester, Velia has also become second class, while Fear is appointed as the Guardian of his class by Aresya.

Rena is in charge of safety training, while Van and Fay are in charge of first and second class. Now the admission system of the Magistra Academy is more tightened again.

Although there are some prospective students who go through the back lane, but Aresya rejects it hard. Even now in the Magistra academy after graduating third grade, there are only a few benches in the third grade due to incompetence of the former second grade students.

For prospective first graders they will be tested by Rena, but not just a fight test. Even the tests of skills and others, made the Magistra Academy one of the most interested academies in the Exhar Continent.

The clubs have been expanded and the Magistra academy itself has several new buildings and new facilities. On the other side....

"Hmm .. So this is yes, where my dear used to teach."

A beautiful woman had suddenly stepped into the front gate of the Magistra academy elegantly. She has bright yellow hair with a blue flower accessory on the upper left of her ear.

"Stop mentioning the young master with such a word, Selina."

Behind him followed a white-haired man with two very sharp eyes. He was quite tall and well-looking with a sword at his back waist.

"At the same time the young master is gone, and now it is our turn to teach at this Magistra academy." he continued proudly.

"Oz, even though my dear is gone, I still consider him my only husband and no one else" he replied. "For the headmaster here is Aresya the spoiled no, he is my student so maybe we will be given the ease of teaching here," he continued with a small smile.

"Huhh ..your habit of calling young masters that way sometimes pisses me off. But this is the exception because the young master himself allowed it" Oz said with a slight annoyance.

"Dz ... "

"Huh?"

"If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be here. So we can't disappoint him even if he's gone from this world now" Selina said, showing a slightly sad look.

"Hmm ... Your words about it could have been our fault in the past, Selina."
