THE ORIGINAL
LANDON STORY

The mat!

"YESAWWW!!!" Arthur screams loudly when Pink accidentally pulls the man's hair. Arthur rubbed his head that felt hot due to a few strands of hair belonging to him regardless of where it grew.

"Are you out of your mind?!"

Pink laughed grinfully as she stuffed the strands of Arthur's hair into a clear plastic bag. The witch seemed to be smiling happily thanks to Arthur's comical, agonizing behavior.

"I'm sorry Arthur, I need your hair for the research I've been working on with Peach"

"What research?" Arthur glared in surprise, "Are witches now researching the Phoenix?"

"No!" The beautiful girl nodded slowly. "Only Peach and I did it, you better thank me if this research works"

"Thank you for that?" Arthur raised his eyebrows in confusion. "Thank you for what?"

Pink just smiled sweetly, the girl then left Arthur and immediately headed to the place of Peach, her twin sister. "Thank you for this idea, oh yeah! Shouldn't you go see the girl? You know that, right? maybe now he was busy practicing martial arts"

Arthur's pupils shrunk, how could he forget Winter? Due to her busy self figuring out the ins and outs of Phoenix, she had forgotten to notice the girl who would clearly risk her life in order to enter the Werewolf group. Both legs of Arthur then move quickly and look for Winter's whereabouts in the dormitory.

In between his busy search for Winter, Arthur accidentally runs into Justin. Unlike usual, Justin just looked flat at Arthur and continued walking straight past him. Looks like the Vampire just came from the headmaster's room which is none other than Professor Shagasemi, judging from the direction he came.

"Hey, have you seen Winter?"

Justin shook his head without looking at Arthur. "No..."

Justin's voice was so slow, Arthur thought it was possible that the Vampire had been angered by Landon. Isn't Justin quite famous in the dorm as one of the wayward students? So, it could have been that today he had just gotten a reprimand from Landon.

"Oh, alright!"

After Arthur's departure, Justin slowly peered back. He wanted to see the figure of the Phoenix that Professor Shagasemi told him about. Justin is difficult to believe the story of the professor because viewed from any point of view, Arthur is not cool at all.

👉 FLASHBACK ON 👈

Landon touched his head with both hands, before he finally let out a long sigh. In front of him sat a Vampire whom he already trusted as a student committee, thanks to his very caring nature to supernatural beings other than Vampires.

"What are you hiding, professor?"

"You're just playing the game and showering me with weird questions like this?" Questions answered with questions. Yah... That's what happened, repeatedly Landon looks not so calm in front of Justin.

"Looking at those of you who seem to be nervous, it seems like the game is true" Justin smiled with a grin. "You can't keep everything to yourself, if there's a problem say it!"

"I don't have any problems!" Landon looked at Justin coldly. "You're kids, let me take care of everything"

"Take care of what? You also need help, so please don't be selfish and deal with things alone" Omel Justin was upset, Justin wasn't the type of person who would just leave a problem alone! What else if it concerns his schoolmates.

Seeing Justin's earnestness, Landon stood up from his seat. The man walked to a bookcase in the room. With a bit of magic and spell, Landon took out a chest from under the floor that he was laying on. The crate hovers over the floor until it finds a suitable position to stop.

From inside, Landon pulled out a book that looked very old. The front and back of the book cover looks torn here and there, even the paper that might have been white has turned brownish.

"Wow, what is it?" Justin forgot how to shut his gaping mouth to see Landon using a magic. His eyes did not blink at all and continued to stare straight at the old book.

Landon glanced at Justin who was stunned to see the old book in front of him. "I've been saving and protecting this book with magic"

"To--why?"

"I stole this book from the ruins of the ancient Greek kingdom"

"Okay, I don't understand what this means!" Justin raised both hands and stepped back as Landon picked up the book from the chest. "Areally how old is the professor?"

"Hey, I stole it when the kingdom was destroyed! So I'm not as old as you imagined!"

Landon walked up to Justin while carrying the book, showing Justin the inside of the old book. Gelden by gelang done by Justin who could not read the words contained in the book.

"I don't understand...."

"I don't know for sure who wrote it" muttered Landon. "But here is written a story of ancient Greek royal warfare"

"Then? What does this have to do with our discussion?"

Landon let out a long sigh and then turned to the very middle of the page. "You see??" Landon showed a picture, a picture of a firebird in the courtyard.

"Phoenix??" Justin said with his eyes wide open. "I-this is Phoenix right??"

"Yes!" Landon nodded his head steadily. "There is not much written history about the Phoenix legend, but it is clearly written that the creature is a creature that is so strong and honest"

".........."

"I don't really understand it, but there is a country that believes in the war of Gods in the past. And you know what? All of them wanted to conquer the Phoenix and make the creature into the God's vehicle of war"

"War vehicle?" Justin scrunched his forehead. "What in the past was a Phoenix an animal?"

"Of course not, he's the same Phoenix we have now..." Landon said with a small laugh. "He can be human or be a firebird, but I don't understand why Arthur hasn't shown any sign of his abilities!"

Arthur. - Justin.

"And to my dismay, a Goddess asked someone for help to kill the Phoenix. The goddess was forced to do so to end a war that had lasted a very long time"

"Goddess??"

Landon closed the book he was holding and returned it to the box. The man sat back in his chair and reminded Justin to sit down as well.

"In the era of the God war in the past, there was only one Phoenix alive. And he died because of the messenger of the Goddess, and now Arthur is born as a Phoenix...." Landon did not continue his sentence, he seemed very upset to say the thing he had been alone.

"Oh my God...." Both pupils of Justin's eyes shook, for some reason he understood the continuation of the words of the Professor. "So... Arthur's birth is being targeted??"

"Who??" Justin continued to panic, considering Arthur is not a strong enough man. Even Justin never saw Arthur fighting with the students in the dorm.

"I don't know....."

👉 FLASHBACK END 👈

The footsteps of a Wolf sounded so loud, The wolf with its gray fur was running quite fast and sometimes jumping towards the low trees.

The wolf was Winter, he was in his beast form to train his footsteps and agility. Honestly, the girl did not know about the fight she would face to get into a group.

"Winter??"

The voice of a man not far from where she sharpened her nails was heard in both Winter's ears, the girl then ran behind a large tree nearby.

As Winter's body returned to normal, he waved his right hand at Arthur with the intention of keeping the man from walking closer to him.

"Winter's not wearing anything, so please don't come any closer"

Since when was he embarrassed like this? At that time he changed in front of me! Uh, but in retrospect, he also asked me to turn around anyway!- Arthur.

"Uh-- Okay"
