"5 days are over. I no longer met with Big Brother after the incident in that cave. I didn't even see it when I came out of the woods. I just saw some of his friends who had some small wounds on his body."
"No more news of him. Ax also appears less and less often. Five months are almost over. Where are you going, brother?."
...----------------...
Alva is at the edge of the pool in typical Chinese— hanfu clothing. The academy is holding a festival where all students must wear hanfu to commemorate one of their ancestors.
"Academies have great respect for their ancestors, yes. Even the design and atmosphere of the academy was temporarily replaced due to this festival," Alva murmured.
"Haish.... I admit that the long hair, clothes, and accessories I wear really suit me. Even her umbrella fits me."
Alva wears a white hanfu with a green douglas fir pattern. The bottom is a grass painting. His feet were clad in tight black boots up to a few inches above his ankles. Her umbrella is in line with her dress. His long, pale white hair was like a shining moon. His red eyes were as dim as the stars of the night. He looked like he was part of nature.
He continued down the edge of the pool. Sometimes he turned to the pool to see his reflection that seemed to shine.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw that the other students were happy with his friends. On the other hand, he saw two people who he thought were quite familiar. Alva immediately approached the two men.
After getting behind her, Alva said, "Ax, Big Brother. Really you?."
Both men looked.
Alva smiled broadly. That's right are them. His eyes were turned to Ava.
Ava has changed drastically. His eyes and hair became silvery white. Even his expression was cold and flat.
With everything she sees, Alva tries to ignore her brother's changes. He'll ask you directly about it.
"Sister, how are you? What's wrong with your eyes? What moon is behind your head?" asked Alva in succession.
"Good night, Mr. Alva. I'll explain it, so let's find a seat first" Axe said.
Alva just nodded, saying nothing. He will wait for them to answer all his questions.
They were sitting in a place not far from the lake. The place is in the form of stones that are large enough with a table that is not too high in the middle.
"So—," Ava had already cut off Ax's words. He wanted to explain himself to Alva.
"My news is fine. My eyes are like this because of the dim blue light I always see. The moon in my head is only part of my strength. I think it's good to be put there" Ava replied to Alva's question.
"Is it not good?" asked Ava.
"No, that's good. Brother, where did you go these few months-Sister?."
Alva wonder. Ava just left while leaving them in a hurry. He even flew up to be able to move quickly.
"Sorry, Mr. Alva. It seems like the Lady is very busy. I even had to persuade her these few days for Lady to come to this festival."
"So you disappeared for a few days to persuade Brother?."
"Yes, that's it. Since Lady is gone, I will replace her to answer your questions. Can I do it?."
"certain. Answer me honestly."
"Good, Sir."
Alva began to raise her questions one by one. Ax patiently answered him with all his might.
"Where was my brother all this time?."
"Lady is on a mission from the Academy."
"Why is he on a mission?."
"Lady signed up to the academy's guild the Prefix Guild. Having registered, the Lady must fulfill her responsibility to carry out the guild's missions at all costs."
"How do I register with the guild? I want to." too."
"Actually the way is very easy. You just need to buy the form at the cooperative and fill it out. Once accepted, the mission and payment will be immediately given. If you can't run a mission, give me a reason."
"Very easy. Then I'll sign up right now. Ax, accompany me."
"Good, Sir."
Finally, Ax and Alva spend their night taking care of Alva's registration to the guild. Because Ax does not have any work, so he will accompany Alva with pleasure. He is also bored when he is alone. That's why Ax will help Alva.
Meanwhile, Ava who was on a mission was a little annoyed because of some things. He attacked a pack of wolves while grumbling.
"This shirt is so troublesome!."
After defeating the wolf pack, Ava looks for a big tree for her to relax. After finding the tree, Ava immediately went into the middle of its branches and leaves. He made it elastic and shaped it like a giant glass then solidified it back.
Ava is getting ready to relax. He sat on the branch of the tree and took out the snacks and tea that had been brewed. Before drinking it, Ava heats the tea first. The atmosphere that night was really cold.
"The tea is not hot yet" he murmured.
Ava pensively for a moment. No matter what he thought, his face showed nothing.
He glanced at the academy that was visible behind him. From there, Ava accidentally sees Alva trying to enroll in the guild. Ava ignored him and returned pensive.
"Didn't the school hold a festival for its students? Why even have his students stand guard outside the academy? Really...."
While being engrossed in grumbling, suddenly there was telepathy trying to get into his mind. He immediately let the voice in.
"Ava, where are you?" asked Adriell.
"I'm on a tree. On the near side of the cooperative. What's up?."
"We are tasked with creating a protective dome that covers the entire academy" Neron replied.
"Huh?" said Ava did not accept.
"Don't protest, Ava. We are also tasked with guarding and defending that protector until the festival is over. We can choose between money and the mansion or a special guidance teacher. So just finish it well."
"Yes yes...."
Daniel— the one who spoke just now— ranted Ava in a landslide. Ava had no other choice because the pay was very satisfactory.
The four of them then flew over and met in the middle of the academy. Even though they were above thousands of humans, none of them were aware of their existence except the head of the academy and a few teachers.
—Neron
—Daniel
—Adriell
"Huh! You look like you deserve to look like that" said Ava.
"Try to see yourself. You look like a peacock demon" Adriell replied.
They often tease each other like that. Their cooperation has always been very good.
They come from different classes. Adriell from class 1B. Neron 1B as well, but from a different class. Daniel's from another class 1A.
"Oh yeah. Isn't your sister also very strong? Why have I never seen him given a mission by the academy?" asked Neron.
"Eitherway. He was applying to the guild, but my gut feeling said he would not be accepted" Ava replied.
"Why?"
"Alva Dylan Xavier's. With that clan, do you think he can become a guild member?."
"Wait, is he your brother and is 'Xavier'? Okay, he won't be accepted. Then how are you accepted?" asked Neron.
"I don't know. But if I'm accepted, then I'm 'fake' right? They don't admit me."
"Ava, however, was not recognized by them. High-level noble families would not allow their descendants to enter any guild. Even though it was a guild in a renowned academy," Daniel said.
The others just nodded slightly, agreeing with Daniel's words.
Not too long later, they got an order from the academy to start forming a protective dome. They then turned back to each other and formed a circle. Each of them faced a corner of the academy.
"What seal are we going to make?" asked Adriell.
"What a seal is important, right?" said Neron.
"Sechelf level two, Yuan Ding Seal," Daniel suggested.
"alright. It seems to fit our typical Chinese appearance today" Ava said.
As if they were playing a game, they did the process with a big smile. They begin to fold their hands in different movements. After a while, they started to emit magic energy from their hands and aimed it at the corner they wanted. The protective dome was finished and covered the entire area of the academy.
Now the four teenagers were smiling with satisfaction. The dome fits what they want.
"Haha! Since we're dressed like this and our main task is done, let's take care of it now" Daniel said.
They took pictures together from up there and then returned to where they were standing guard. They talk to each other and do some sort of Video Call to find out the circumstances of each. That way, they can help each other if anyone is in need.
They ran it for a few days until the festival was over.
