Tales Of Darkness And Light
Chapter 20's

A black-haired and dark blue-eyed girl was standing in front of a large white turnstile. At the sight of the haired man as well as the brown eyes beside Apple and Calix, the girl waved her hand." The leader!!"

The man who was beside Apple and Calix returned the wave of the girl's hand. "Aisha!"

"Chairman? You mean that girl you are, Peta?" calix asked the Map, the haired man and the brown eyes beside him.

"Yes. I was the chair in one of the fields of study at Erfin College. " Answer the Map with a shy smile.

"Oh, at this age you are a chairman?—you must be very smart." Praise Calix for hearing the Map answer.

"T-no," Smile Map with a flushed face with Calix's praise. "You're too complimentary."

Apple and Calix decide to follow Map to Erfin's magic college. They both know, the man who yesterday rescued Map on Bold mountain must be Fedrick from the traits and also the clothes described. Map told them Fedrick was just exhausted and not seriously hurt. However, Calix could not calm down, he could only calm down if he saw with his own eyes the state of Fedrick now.

Apple said nothing, agreeing to follow the two of them because it thought Fedrick might have a hint of Rue's whereabouts right now.

The map running beside Apple and Calix stole a glance towards them questionnaires. Who are the two of them? They don't seem like ordinary people.

The map looked at Calix's face and continued to think hard. The face was not at all unfamiliar to him, it seemed like he had seen it. But, where is it? When?—dia could not remember it at all. As for Apple, he did not dare to look at her face at all even though the young man had closed his eyes with a white cloth. The fear of the Apples was still left in his heart. He remembered how the red eyes that were full of anger while looking at him— were too scary.

The apple that tied his eyes back, actually made Map wonder inwardly; why did he close his eyes? However, Peta did not dare to ask.

"Thank God you've come home" said the girl named Aisha with a big smile as she saw Map, Apple and Calix arriving at the gate. "Who are they both?"

"They're friends of the man I helped from Bold Mountain yesterday." Answer Map explained.

"That's it," replied Aisha while nodding her head. A second later he was immediately aware of the information that had to be conveyed to them. "Oh yes! I almost forgot. The man is conscious."

"really?" ask Calix happy.

"Yes." Yeah." Aisha smiled. Staring at Calix's face, he felt that he had seen the man's face, even though it was the same as Map, he could not remember it at all.

"It's good then," smiled, Map looked back at Apple and Calix. "Come, I'll get you to meet him," let them both pass the tall white fence, Map smiled once more. "Welcome to Erfin's magic college, Calix, Apple."

Magic is something that is common in this world. However, that doesn't mean everyone can use magic. One can only use magic if one has magic talent, and such magic talent is not possessed by everyone, since magic talent is usually hereditary. A person who has magical talent usually learns how to use his magic by parents, family or other witches.

Erfin magic school is the only place in the world where magicians experience magic. The students who were here did not look at age at all, but the school's slogan was "There is no age limit for learning magic". Therefore, the student consists of small children, adults, and parents.

The inhabitants of this magic college rarely come into contact with the society. In the eyes of society, the inhabitants of Erfin magic college were seen as very strange because they were all very obsessed with magic.

The map runs ahead leading Apple and Calix towards Fedrick's place. Along the way, Calix saw disciples of various ages passing by in plain sight without any concern for them. The inhabitants of this school wear the same clothes as Peta, which is a black cloak with the Erfin magic college emblem on her back.

As they passed through a large garden within the college, Calix's eyes stared at a sword stuck on the ground. The sword was very beautiful, the handle was white and there were several red-colored gems in the center. A magic matra that Calix had never seen was engraved along the body of the sword.

"It's the Shire's magic sword." Map words suddenly saw Calix staring fixedly at the sword.

"That famous Shire magic sword?" calix was surprised.

"Yes," nodded his head, Peta explained. "This magic sword was here even before the college stood, and until now, no one had been able to pull it out. No one knows who made this sword and why it was stuck here."

"May I try to unplug it?" ask Calix excitedly. No need to explain the Map, he also already knew the story of this sword, because the Shire Sword is a very famous sword.

"Please." Laughter Map invites Calix

to try.

Apples did not care about Calix, he turned to Map. "When should I wait here? When are you gonna take me to Fedeick?"

"Pardon me, I'll take you to see him soon," replied the Map nervously upon hearing Apple's question. "Let's.."

Seeing the Apples and Map walking away, Calix could only follow the two of them from behind while shaking his head. He really doesn't care about Apples.

As they arrived in the room where Fedrick was, they saw the young man lying on the bed. His face was still pale, and upon seeing Apple and Calix, he was greatly shocked. He had not expected them to be in Erfin's magic college like him.

"Apple? Brother Calix?" call Fedrick full of question marks and try to get out of bed.

Calix walked up to Fedrick and helped him back down. He can see clearly Fedrick is not in an optimal state. "You just lie down, Fedrick. "

"Sir Calix, Apple, why are you here?" fedrick didn't care about Calix.

"We meet up with Peta while tracking down the whereabouts of the robbers who kidnapped Rue and Lara on Mount Ethin. From it we get information about you, which is why we're here." Calix is as short as he can be.

"Map?" fedrick was confused.

"The one who helped you" Calix replied, seeing Fedrick as if he knew nothing. Looking at the Map, he raised his hand pointing at it. "That's the man next to Apple."

Smiling map to Fedrick. "It's nice to meet you, Fedrick."

"Thank you for saving me, Map." Fedrick responded quickly with a smile replying to Map greetings.

"Do you have any clue as to Rue's whereabouts?" apple suddenly interrupted. His voice was as emotionless as ever, he did not care about Fedrick in the slightest.

Hearing Apple's question, a feeling of guilt enveloped Fedrick. "Sorry Apple. I-I, I don't know where Rue and Lara are now. I couldn't look after them, the brand was kidnapped right in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything about it. I'm too weak, if I were stronger, none of this would happen. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Hearing Fedrick's reply, Apple silently remained silent saying nothing. Fedrick has no clue as to Rue's whereabouts, and he has absolutely no blame on him—he blames; himself. He shouldn't have left and entrusted Rue to someone else.

Seeing Fedrick continue to blame himself, Calix tried to comfort and encourage him. "Fedrick, you're not weak. You're sa—"

"Ahhhhh" shouted someone from the outside sounding powerfully cutting Calix's speech.

Hearing the screams, everything in the room except for the Apple that remained expressionless was shocked. They could hear the noise and the unrelenting screams from outside.

"What's this?" calix asked tangent while looking at the Map.

"I don't know," replied the Quick Map with an equally puzzled face. "I'll go out and see what happens." Reversing his body, he immediately ran out of the room where they were.

"Wait on! I'm coming!" calix j shouted running out chasing Map.

Fedrick tried to get out of bed. He did not know what was happening, but from the sound of screaming full of panic and commotion that sounded— something must have happened. However, the Apple that was still not moving from its place suddenly stopped it. "Don't go anywhere. Stay here."

Fedrick lifted his face looking at Apple in disbelief. Apples speech just now, could he think that the young man was worried about him?

Apples who were aware of Fedrick's view did not say anything more. Turning around, he then walked out leaving Fedrick alone in the room. He knew what was happening outside, and also, he knew he had to do something to be able to trace Rue's whereabouts.

The sound of yelling came from the park that had just passed through Apple, Calix and Map. Calix and Peta who ran out of Fedrick's room could only stand staring with their eyes wide in disbelief at what they saw when they got there.

Dragon.
