On the other hand Oz is still trying to calm the hysterical Selina. Nor did he believe what he had just heard. The voice was very familiar to him and to Selina as well.

Now they both take seats near a bridge connecting the southern part of the kingdom and also the western part of the kingdom. There they both had to convince themselves that this was neither an illusion nor a dream.

In fact they knew it was impossible given the tragic events of the time. Neither they nor someone with whom they had a relationship would have expected that the voice would appear.

Given that Oz began to convince himself if it was true that his young master was still alive, then with that confidence he also clenched his hands.

“Finally you are back..,” murmured.

After that he turned to Selina who was trying to calm himself.

"You can hear it, ‘kan?"

“Yes," he said with a beaming face. "How many hundred years have we not heard the whistling of such leaves

"It's getting mysterious. But, is something going to happen to this kingdom?" Oz got up and turned around to see the crowd passing by from the top of the stone bridge.

"If indeed the message was addressed to the two of us— maybe not, too" said Selina he swung both his legs forward and backward.

"But, think about this..What danger is lurking in this kingdom? I didn't even feel anything strange" Oz said, watching the surroundings.

"It seems that for now we don't have to worry about it, Oz. Considering Iris and Aresya are here too" Selina said lightly.

"Selina, all those possibilities must be there" Oz said and then looked around.

"Well it might be, but now he's where—“ is

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaA!!!!!!

Selina had not yet finished her words, a shout was heard right under the bridge they were now occupying. The voice came from an old grandmother whose item was stolen. Oz is ready to strike with a sword

brutalised.

But the thief was first confronted by a handsome man who had colored hair with him. White hair, blue outfits with white vest.

Wearing white trousers and apparently on standby to prevent the thief from escaping. A gleam was seen from behind his sword sheath, at that very moment in just one blink of an eye.

The thief fell without bleeding. He seemed to have fainted from the attack from the white-haired man who had just confronted him. Then the stolen goods he returned to the owner.

The grandmother was happy and she smiled at the taste of haru because the item was saved by a handsome white-haired man. Now the man again walked down the path that he had stopped earlier.

The people around him applauded him. He stopped his steps, then bent in all directions while holding the back of his head. It seems that person is very friendly.

Now he walked again and finally disappeared from the observation of Selina and Oz.

"Heii, Oz.. it seems—“

But as soon as Selina looked, Oz's countenance turned pale with widened eyes, and her mouth trembled.

"Actually who is he?" muttered Oz slowly.

***

Another place where five people in full uniform arrived at that place. They are Shiena, Shiren, Mea, Grey and also Nheil.

"It seems that the problem here has been resolved" Mea said.

"Is that true?."

Shiren and Shiena were still doubting that and they started asking about the screams earlier.

While a very active Nheil can't stay still, he sometimes jumps around on his own. Sometimes running around somewhere and finally coming back.

"Looks like you're happy, Nheil," Grey said casually.

“Hihihi.. Of course, I am looking forward to the day when I use this armband and this Festa," he said as he rubbed his nose.

"Based on a little boy" said Mea.

"What?!"

Nheil realized what Mea was swearing at and shortly after that Shiren and Shiena returned at the right time.

At the right time to stop the quarrel Nheil and Mea who sometimes make them hassles.

"So what about the testimony from the witnesses, Shiren, Shiena,?" grey asked as he pulled Nheil's collar close by.

"Let go of me, Gre .. I will make this woman understand what it is like to be free rather than always in parentheses in her house" Nheil said, thrashing.

"Shut up for a moment, Nheil," said Grey, "and so are you, Mea. Don't ignite the flames of contention.it's not good, what if it's caught Velia and the others. You know what Velia's condition is right now," continued Grey firmly.

"Well, I won't be like that anymore" Mea said, bowing her head.

Nheil now had a satisfied face but he got a light blow from Grey right over his head.

"We only learned that a white-haired man who prevented the thief from escaping, nothing was more or suspicious" Shiena said.

"When you meet him I will thank him for easing our duties" Grey said.

"Hahahaha..did you hear that beautiful voice?" ask Shiren.

“You mean that whistling sound, yeah."

Mea suddenly entered the conversation with enthusiasm.

"Whoa... Mea, is this really you?" asked Grey who was shocked to see Mea's reaction being so suddenly spirited.

"Don't make fun of me, you remember my title, do you, Grey?" ask Shiena.

"Of course"

"The title that King Regin gave me can make me hear or feel the right wind waves" Mea said.

"Hmm .. You mean?."

Shiena, Shiren and Grey are quite confused but it seems that Nheil understood with that intent and now he is walking towards Grey's side.

"That means a person who can hear resonance, pressure, balance, or a message from that voice.Such a signal might be more appropriate if I said a message," Nheil explained confidently.

"Hmm. I admit that even if you're childish, Nheil .. you're smart too."

"Hehhhh, the bottom of the chest is flat" said Nheil then hiding behind Shiren.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! I DIDN'T HEAR IT, TRY SAYING IT AGAIN!!" mea said with a demon-like face, eyes reddened and some veins clearly visible on her white face.

"Bada flat!"

And that was when Mea exploded, fortunately Shiren used tranquilizing magic to calm Mea who seemed to look angry.

Two pretty hard punches landed on Nheil's head as well as Mea's. Nheil by Shiena while Mea by Grey.

"How many times have I reminded you guys to fight, or do you want me to report it to Instructor Oz?"

Grey, who seemed to have been upset, posed a threat. Their faces turned pale knowing that Instructor Oz was a good person, but if anyone made a mistake he would turn 180o into someone sinister.

While Nheil has only met once in Astarte Festa, he can feel that Instructor Oz whom Grey talks about is a dangerous and creepy person.

"About that whistling voice, Mea... What do you want to tell us?"

Now it was Shiena who asked and started the topic of conversation.

"Ah... about that I think the beautiful whistling voice is not as beautiful as we think," he said.

"You mean?”

“Listen, yes. Usually the sound or wind has a frequency level of each. There are those that can be heard by humans or animals and the like. Whistling voice as an example," he said, “ is not only that, even in the whistling voice there is a message"

"Message?"

"But the message is like giving us a warning" Mea continued.

"Warnings?!"

They were a little surprised to hear that, there was not usually a whistle that carried a warning message.

"I can't tell you the message, but all I can tell you is this," Mea said.

“Will'O Wisp," chirped Shiren.

"Will'O Wisp?"

"A magic or rather the ability to communicate with spirits through the wind, this kind of thing is very rare. Even I just heard it for the first time" said Shiren.

"Where do you know such a thing?" ask Grey.

"When I talk about the spirits with Lily during the afternoon break".

"If it's one of our instructors also has such abilities," Nheil said suddenly.

The other four people now began to look at Nheil with curious looks.

"Are you sure, Nheil?" ask Mea.

"Of course, Instructor Kuro is my favorite instructor" he said with a big smile.

But what he got was not a joke, a compliment or a question. But the four faces that suddenly turned pale and looked incredulous.

"Hey, hey ... hang on to you guys, what's up with you guys?"

"Can you name the long name of this Instructor Kuro?" ask Shiena.

"of course... Kurokami Rei, he is the instructor I respect the most and even almost one academy respects him including the other instructors as well" he replied casually.

"I-it's impossible, heiii... Nheil, tell me how she looks?"

This time Shiena was completely pale and could almost say she almost fainted.

"Are you sure? Your face is so pale, Shiena"

"Y-yes, I'm sure even it seems like Grey, Shiren and Mea agree with me as well" Shiena said tremblingly, her lips as if wanting to be broken by a shout.

"Well, if you insist, he has black hair with a tall body. Black-eyed and had a side job as an Athea Crystal collector outside the kingdom," he explained worriedly. "Does this convince you? After all is there an instructor in your Academy who has the same name and appearance as Instructor Kuro?"

"Yes, but he no longer exists in this world. And lucky for Shiena, the instructor you call her was her homeroom teacher first" Grey said.

"Even he has also trained us Legion Knights, but—“

"That's enough, Mea," Shiena cut off with teary eyes.

It was a tragic past event. He sacrificed himself to protect his students. It might be said to be an apprentice job, but it was also one of his responsibilities.

"What if we ask Lily to tell us, Mea. Can you imitate that whistle?" suggestion Shiren.

"Y-yes, I can, but not all of them," she replied a little nervously.

After that they agreed to go back to Swordia Academy where previously they had also asked the entire committee to gather. Even the headmaster was also asked by them to hear this report.

But before that they asked them to act as usual. All of that was done so as not to cause a commotion in this Astarte Festa.

On the other hand Shiena looked pale from hearing the name of her former homeroom teacher.

When all their business there was done, now they went to his post at the academy.

Once they got there, both from the Magistra Academy and Swordia instantly approached them after seeing Shiena's unusual condition. In the room was not too much, there were only a few organizers from the two academies. The rest were still patrolling and checking the surroundings.

Eventually Grey represented them and gave as short and clear an explanation as he could.

But it wasn't long before Oz and Selina arrived. Seeing the circumstances there, Selina felt deja vu for finding the condition of Shiena who was almost there like Oz.

Because the information to be told is very important, Nheil and Shiren also explained the situation to all the organizers there. They also ask Mea for help in imitating the whistling voice and also ask Lily for help in translating the meaning.

Upon completion they were quite astonished by Lily's delivery which was so real ... 'Beware that something bad will come', that's how it is when you've finished translating the meaning of the whistle.

But it is not expected that his words became a reality. Because a magic circle appeared right in the middle of that hall, it was dark black with an aura of death so clearly visible.

Then came something that they had not imagined, bone-shaped with a torn black robe. Use a gold crown with a red diamond mounted in the middle. He used a silver stick covered in blood.

His height is not playing, if they estimate it. It reaches 3 meters high. Very high, this is the messenger of death from the lower realms.

"Elders... The lich?!"

Seeing that everyone entered in a state of alert. Be it the committee, instructors, or those who are there without exception.

Suddenly someone cast a light magic fast. An initiation that shocked many people.he was Selina.

Without a doubt at all he had extremely fast reflexes and seemed to have no hesitation in attacking the creature with his light magic. Magic that forms a ball of light and strikes it in a row without pause.

The Elder Lich was knocked back. But, he immediately screamed out dozens of magic circles on the floor. It was blackish in color with several chains coming out from it creating dozens of skull knights.

When that Elder Lich raised his hand. Dozens of skull knights began to move against everyone with their rust swords.

“Be prepared!” selina said loudly.
