The Mysterious Hero
24. The seal?

Zen along with Bu Zahra, the manager of UKS approached the mattress Ruka. While Bu Zahra checked Ruka's condition, Zen pulled her brother and scolded her.

Anyway no? Tau people are sick precisely made to fall like that.

"Yes, yeah. Excuse me. That's reflex... After all you yourself also surprised me." he said in a small voice at the end. Duri desperately tried to refrain from the embarrassment of almost being caught hugging Ruka.

I don't know what Zen would think if he saw himself hugging Ruka like that.

He grimaced inwardly as he recalled what he had just tried to do. Finally Zen's chatter stopped when Bu Zahra rebuked him, realizing that there were sick people there.

"What about Ruka's condition? She's okay, right?"

"The heat is quite high, but the condition is not critical. It should only be with enough compresses, there is no need to call me."

"But Ma'am, Ruu looked troubled to take a breath. It's like being traumatized or something that bothers her." Duri reported.

Hearing that, Ms. Zahra frowned. Once again he checked on Ruka's condition.

But he found nothing at all strange. When he had just wanted to open his mouth, he finally found something strange.

Once again, Ms. Zahra focused on the awkward. He again uses his magic to examine Ruka's body once again. Ignoring the two youths who looked tense and worried.

"Squeaky..."

The whisper made the hearts of the two race faster. What the hell is going on? Zen dared himself to ask. "What's up, Mom?"

"Ruka's condition... Honestly a little complicated. There was a trace of dark magic flowing through his body, yet it did not injure him. And it looks like there's something like a seal? I don't know, it's more like a protector protecting his inner body. Maybe because it is also not critical condition. Her magic was still able to withstand that dark magic, so it did not harm her too much."

The two twins changed their gazes. Confused expressions were clearly plastered on their faces.

"What does that mean?"

"...." - ".There was a feeling of wanting to smash this brother's head against the wall, but he was resistant.

After all there are sick people and teachers here, Zen will deal with Thorns later in a deserted place.

Bu Zahra stood up, completely distracting the two young men there. The woman clapped her hands, let out a small sigh and then looked at the two princes. "For now, you better go back first. I will discuss with the principal to impart purification magic to Student Leilas so that the traces of dark magic can be neutralized to the fullest."

"All right." The two could only nod in agreement and were led out by Bu Zahra. Although Duri looks very reluctant to leave his friend, but eventually he melted when Zen assured him that Ruka will be fine.

During the return trip, Duri continued to look down with a listless expression. Every now and then he kicked the wind or dust to vent his frustration. Zen glanced at him, but did not think to calm him down. His thoughts were also quite chaotic for now.

He himself was worried too. The events of today, where Ruka became like everyone else and hypnotized everyone to fall asleep, made her think twice.

The dark magic imprint that Bu Zahra had meant earlier, did it have anything to do with Ruka's previous attitude? Is there any possibility that he saw earlier was Ruka who was under the influence of dark magic?

But, if true, why isn't he dead?

To his knowledge, negative magic or dark magic was very dangerously exposed directly. The one affected could have lost his magic power or lost his life in an instant.

As far as we know, ancient people ward off dark magic by using holy water or purification magic. But rarely can anyone do that now.

In view of Ruka's case, there is a protective magic inside her body that holds the dark magic from spreading. Yet how magic exists is still a question for her. Plus, what seal did Zahra mean?

Those under the influence or control of dark magic will usually get out of control and thirst for blood. No one managed to regain consciousness after being affected by dark magic, which eventually led them to fall into darkness and lose their minds or die in an instant.

Inimicus, the group or now known as the demon race, were those who completely fell into darkness and lost their minds. Thirsty of blood, power, power, and control. They are pathetic people who lose their purpose in life or are too selfish about one thing.

Thinking of this, Zen broke out in a cold sweat. His body stiffened and his heart raced faster, his face pale at the thought of that possibility.

'It can't be.... Ruka's...'
