The Journey of the Genius Failed
17. Temporary friend?

Seeing the magic released by Rouzen successfully stopped, Karty became relieved.

“Hah...hah.. Almost.” Karty was already sweating from fear.

After that, Rouzen woke up and spoke to Karty.

“Go, before I change my mind. And if you dare to say about my parents like that again, I will instantly make you regret.” Rouzen spoke seriously.

Hearing that, Karty and his 2 companions immediately left.

Then Rouzen looked towards the female disciple.

“Why did you stop me?.”

“Actually I'm here again to pick up my lost stuff. But by the time I got here, I saw you fighting with those 3 people. At first I just looked and there was no intention to stop you. But by the time you cast magic, I stopped you immediately, because I was afraid that you would be expelled from the academy.”

“Why should you care?.”

“There must be a reason? if someone wants to care?.”

Hearing that, Rouzen only fell silent because the female disciple's words were true.

“...”

Then the female disciple continued.

“You are a genius and talented student, so it's a pity that you get expelled just for being consumed by your emotions. Try to think calmly, will you feel calm after you do something like that? Maybe for a while you will calm down, but in the future you may regret it. And think also of the person who supported you until it could be like this.”

Rouzen was conscious because of the words of the female disciple.

“You're right. Sorry if my previous attitude offended you.”

“No problem.”

After that Rouzen asked about what the name of the female disciple was.

“By the way, I don't know what your name is yet, even if we're one class. Do you mind introducing yourself?.”

“Oh yes. Introduce my name Layla. Adeg students who have been in this class for one year. And also a temporary academy student.”

Layla is a female student who is now one class with Rouzen. Layla has a beautiful appearance with short black shoulder-length hair. In class, Layla was quiet and cold, so not many people were close to her. Even Rouzen was also arguably the only person now close to him. Rouzen actually did not think that Layla turned out to be cool as well, not too cold.

Hearing that, Rouzen was puzzled over not knowing what the temporary academy disciple meant.

“Murid temporary academy?.”

“Yes, I entered this academy only temporarily. And coincidentally next week is my last day here.”

“Eh, why?.”

“Actually, I got into this academy is for a reason, but sorry I can't tell you why.”

“No problem, I appreciate it anyway. But where did you come from anyway?.”

“Sorry I can't tell you about that either. Maybe if it's destined, you'll find out where I come from.”

“Hah... You have many secrets.” Rouzen sighed.

“Hehe... sorry.”.

“Then I will ask you another. When did you start this village?.”

“2 years ago, by the time I was 11 years old.”

“So yes. Means you are 2 years older than me huh.”

“Yes, so you should have called me brother loh.”

“Oh so?.” Rouzen looked at Layla's face while holding her chin.

“Hmm?.” Layla was a little confused.

“Good sister Layla.” Rouzen placed his face in front of Layla's face closely.

Therefore, Layla became embarrassed and her cheeks flushed red.

“Plak..” Layla slaps Rouzen.

“W-your face is too close.” Layla with cheeks that are still red.

“I understand. But does it need to slap? I was just kidding sister Layla.” A palm mark appeared on Rouzen's cheek.

“You are yes..” Layla became upset and was about to raise her hand again because of Rouzen's words.

“Do not call me brother.”

“Eh wasn't you asking?.” Rouzen.

“If I said no yes don't.”

“Eh.. Alright.”

“What's with this woman?.” Rouzen Murmured.

Then Layla spoke back.

“I didn't expect that you were this kind of person. I thought you were a quiet and cool person, uh it turns out.”

“What's real?.”

“Hmph..

After that they talked together. In fact, they also told about how the two of them first entered Meiyan village and studied at the academy.

“How initially did you get to Meiyan village?.” Layla asked.

Rouzen told it.

“I actually went to Meiyan village because of an incident. At that time, I was abandoned by my parents to carry out a mission. My parents died on that mission. And it turned out that on that mission that made me get to know Master Redes. Because when my parents were on a mission, Redes' teacher was the same, he was on a mission. Even according to the story I heard, teacher Redes and his partner were saved by my parents. But by the time Redes' teacher and my parents met again, they met with undesirable conditions. Teacher Redes met my parents again with the condition of my parents who were almost dead. And that's when my parents asked Redes' teacher for help to take me to Meiyan.” village

“So yes, I'm sorry. But I hear you have a sister huh?.”

“Iya, I have a sister who is 2 years old less. She's named Heiren”

“Oh is still small yes. But how do you take care of her? it is quite difficult if you take care of a child who is under 2 years old?.”

“I now live together with teacher Redes and his wife, so I was helped by them.”

“So yes.”

Then it was Rouzen's turn to ask.

“If you are, how can you initially go to Meiyan village?.”

“Nothing special anyway. I was only ordered by my parents to study in Meiyan village for a while.”

“So yes. I'm actually very curious and have questions, but since you kept it a secret, I appreciate your decision.”

“Sorry yes, I really can't tell you any further.”

“It's okay. But if one day we meet again and of course under different conditions, can you tell your story?.”

“Maybe.”

Hearing that answer, Rouzen sighed.

“Hah... alright.”

After that, they went back to their homes.

A few days later, Karty and her partner no longer dared to bother Rouzen. Rouzen and Layla also now often play together after the academy. Even Rouzen also invited Layla to join him to study with other friends. Therefore, the person who used to be the one who could be said to be the mentor of the study team together was originally Rouzen, now there is an additional mentor, Layla. Because after all Layla was a student of the Adeg class who was already in that class before Rouzen. So Layla certainly has better knowledge than Rouzen.

Until the day Layla left the village arrived. On that day, Layla said goodbye to all the teachers, students and friends who often joined Rouzen. And even for Rouzen himself, Layla gave something to Rouzen.

At the gate where the entry and exit of people in Meiyan Village.

“This.” Layla gives a bracelet to Rouzen.

“Eh, for me?.” Rouzen was a little confused.

“Iya.” Layla smiles.

“Thank you then. Sorry I can't give you anything.” Rouzen was a little embarrassed.

“No problem. Then I give permission first yes, take care of yourself.”

“Iya, you are also careful.”

After that Layla went towards the 2 people who picked her up and left Rouzen. But when they were far away, Layla shouted at Rouzen.

“Don't forget to wear my gift bracelet. And don't forget me yes.” Layla yells.

“Sure.” Rouzen returned Layla's scream.

Rouzen then wears his bracelet. But due to being quite loose on his wrist, Rouzen ended up wearing his bracelet on the upper hand of his elbow.
