The Reincarnation of the Knight of Light
011 - First Stage (1)

"It's actually because you asked for my help. I can't refuse if someone asks for help, especially if he sees me as his hope."

After Arya explained the reason, then Rena gave a small laugh that made Arya feel embarrassed because she thought her habit was strange.

"It turns out you're different from what Romi and Sister Wulan told me. Even though you look like a thug, you're actually a good person,"

Arya threw her face the other way. "I'm sorry, maybe it's a little disrespectful. But is the story you told them true?"

Rena did not answer immediately, her head lowered for a while while smiling which made Arya feel uncomfortable.

"Of course not. I don't really know who my parents are, actually,"

"Why don't you know? What they-"

"We arrived, the signal came from the building" Rena said, pointing to an old building across the street.

Arya directed her gaze in the direction that Rena pointed. Instantly his steps stopped and his eyes widened to see the building, a three-story school building that had long been abandoned due to the fire incident that occurred in the past and its position was very remote despite being on the edge of the city.

"What's wrong?"

"That's okay."

Because the gate was padlocked and chained, they were forced to climb the fence to get inside.

Inside the building, the atmosphere felt a little gripping with the moonlight that pierced through the window being the only lighting.

"This is my first time going to school at night. The sensation is completely different," said Arya while paying attention to the paint on the inner walls of the building that has been weathered and overgrown by vines.

While Rena and Arya were busy walking through the building, suddenly a voice rang out in every hallway of the building to their surprise.

"Test test, sound test try, can you hear it clearly?"

"Who are you?!" said Rena.

Rena turned her head in all directions looking for where the source of the sound came from and she finally found that it came from several small-sized loudspeakers attached along the hallway.

"It seems you can hear my voice. Then we'll just start the game?"

"the game? What games? You better show yourself a coward!" arya said loudly.

"Sorry, I can't do it because it's a gift from the game,"

"What's game?" ask Rena who seems interested.

"The game is very easy, you just need to find me in 20 minutes, if you succeed then you are the winner and and I will show myself,"

"Well! 20 minutes? Five minutes is more than enough" said Arya arrogantly.

"It's true, but it's not as easy as you think because you could die in this game," 

"How can we die in this game?" rena gumam.

Wuuush …!

Suddenly something flew quickly through the passageway that was in front. Arya and Rena directed their gaze there with unblinking eyes.

Wuuush …! 

Something like that passed through the hallway behind them and they turned around simultaneously.

Wuuush …!

This time, it passed in the front and back aisles alternately. Arya and Rena became confused and decided to turn their backs on each other.

They then put their hands on the handle of the sword and prepare to pull it if needed.

"What should we do?" ask Arya.

"We just follow the game," 

"What?! You insane? This is definitely a trap!"

"When you know why you still ask? I just remembered, the strange signal I received since last afternoon was a signal asking for help from my group members. So, maybe he knows something."

Wuuush …!

Triingg …!!

Something that had since flown through the hallway was now flying towards Arya, fortunately she managed to pull her sword quickly and fend off something that bounced and lay on the floor. 

Arya and Rena who were curious decided to approach her and look at her up close with their swords ready in hand.

"What is this thing?" rena said while observing it at close range.

Arya was getting curious, she picked up something and turned it around. He frowned seeing that something was in the form of a jet-black dagger. 

A moment later, the dagger moved and flew towards the passageway that was behind it. Then, not long after, suddenly there was a rumbling sound coming from all the hallways.

The rumbling sound was getting clearer and louder. The two of them immediately turned their backs to each other and prepared with a sword in front of them.

The sreeet!

Triingg …!!

Two black daggers emerged from the hallway in front, one of which was successfully repelled, while the other one managed to injure Arya's left shoulder.

Before long, dozens of black daggers from the front and rear hallways appeared continuously towards them. 

There was no time to talk, no time to dodge, Arya and Rena could only turn their backs to each other while fending off all the flying daggers that were about to stab them using the thin side of their swords.

"Hahahaha …!!! How's it?! Can you handle it?" ask the person behind the loudspeaker.

The voice made Rena grow furious and she also gave Arya a code to go to another room slowly while still turning her back to each other.

Every time they stepped, the black daggers always managed to scratch their clothes and bodies little by little.

"Aryans! The only way to win this shitty game is to find it!" rena said as she walked backwards following Arya's slowly advancing steps.

"I know it! We are also doing it, it's just that these daggers continue to come non-stop, making our movement very inhibited. Even to escape unharmed is impossible!"

Rena began to rack her brain and began to look for ways to win from this game. His eyes kept turning to and fro with hands that kept swinging the sword, fending off all the black daggers that were flying towards him.

"Aryans! This attack was too indiscriminate, it was likely that he was on the roof. So, we need to get to the"

Jem!

"Aakhs!"

A black dagger managed to pierce Rena's right leg which made her fall closer to the dirty floor.

Right after Rena's leg was pierced, strangely all the black daggers that were flying attacked now stopped coming.

And the daggers that were stuck on the wall and that were lying on the floor started to move backwards and flew away from them.

"What just happened? Is he playing us?" arya was confused.
