The Mysterious Hero
30. Patrols

Ruka looked around her. There was no trace of his fight against Amdusias or his men. It was as if that day had not happened at all. All the chaos even the bloodstains had already disappeared without a trace. In this way, no one would suspect him.

The cool breeze blew coldly making the golden-eyed young man's black hair sway in the wind. He breathed a sigh of relief with it.

"Have you felt better? People like you can get sick too."

DEG

"The puppet!! Feir's habit, if you come say dong!" Ruka rubbed her chest, trying to calm herself down. That friend of his did have the habit of surprising others huh?

"I'm sorry I didn't intentionally. After all, you're serious. What the hell was he thinking?" Ask Feir again.

"I was just thinking about the events back then, my magic was weakening, I was afraid that there was still a remnant of that event. It's nothing, so be relieved..."

Feir nodded in understanding. But her eyes were staring with probing eyes. Weakened said? If with her weakened magic alone could defeat such spirit beasts, even neutralizing dark magic, what if Ruka used her full strength?

"Dam! Why are you even daydreaming now??"

"-no, I was just thinking if they might start planning something else again. Even though the spirit creature has been defeated, it does not mean that everything is in order. It could be that his superior still got information from the rest of his magic, or intermediate magic." Lying Feir.

Ruka stared fixedly at those two lavender eyes. It was obvious that the young man was lying right now. Clearly, Ruka was not a person who would easily believe such a dime lie.

Although not everything Feir says is not true. It is not impossible also if the head of the Inimicus race who sent Amdusias did not get anything.

Moreover, many mediums could be a place for intermediate magic, magnifying the possibility that it was indeed true.

If it is like this, it is not impossible in the future there will also be an attack of monster monsters again.

"There's truth... Then let's continue the patrol. I'm worried that there are."

Feir nodded in understanding. His hand moved to pat his best friend's shoulder. "Alright, but it'll be faster if we split up. I'll check somewhere else."

"All right, just let me know if there's anything suspicious."

"Ready man!" Feir saluted, and ran in the opposite direction to Ruka.

The crystal necklace that Ruka used suddenly glowed faded. 'Hoho~ is very obedient with you.'

"Isn't it normal like that?"

'Indeed. She doesn't know who you really are.' Rinka chuckles. 'I wonder what if he knows the truth.'

"I hope he's not too surprised to find out." Ruka said slowly and continued her patrol.

The sun is getting hotter, some students have started to come out of their dorms to exercise or just enjoy the warm morning sun.

Honestly, if it was like this enough to make it difficult for Ruka to patrol. The existence of other disciples who could have been hiding places of spirit beasts or such made it even harder to find them.

After that incident, even though the protectors in the Academy were strong, it did not mean that no more monsters or demons could enter. In order to prevent that from happening again, Ruka and the other members of the security decided to tighten the security by patrolling more often and checking the angle of the corner that might be undetectable by protective magic.

"For Ruka." Hearing someone call her name, made Ruka turn her head. There was a young man with a ruby red iris who was running towards him.

Prince of Cromwell. "Good morning prince."

Hali clucking. "I told you there's no need to be formal like that. By the way how are you doing?" Hali's outstretched hand touched the forehead of the golden-eyed young man before her. He was silent for a moment, feeling the temperature of the young man's body.

"It's not hot, but you should rest until you're fully recovered." Continue her.

Ruka smiled. "I'm fine anyway, too long in the room bored me..." That's not a lie. Too long doing nothing in the room bored him. Besides, he also has to carry out his obligations to maintain the security of the academy right?

(Vinegar: The type of wayward person who does not want to rest.)

"By the way..." Ruka paused her speech, watching Hali's body that was soaked with sweat. "This morning you've been sporting?"

"I'm used to it like this. As a Prince, you have to take care of the body, right?"

What he said was not wrong...

"It's true, but-"

THE DUAR!!

Ruka's words suddenly stopped due to the sound of an explosion.

"Where's that sound?" Ask Hali.

"It doesn't seem far from here!" Without a second thought, Ruka immediately ran to find the source of the voice, ignoring Hali behind her.

'Ruka, there's a dark magic stream not far from here.'

Ruka clucked in annoyance. Did the Inimicus race send back his men?
