The Reincarnation of the Knight of Light
023 - Three Swords

"Yes, we're fine. Without getting hurt, scratched, or anything less" Arya replied.

"No, that's not what I meant. I mean, are you all right to blame everything that happened that night on Victor?" tanya Nanda confirmed the intent of the question.

"Why indeed? Have you started caring about him?" arya asked with a sharp look.

"Haa .. You still don't understand? You guys are using the same way he used to bring you down, do you think this problem will go smoothly?"

"If I thought this was going to go well. B*j*ng*n like he could possibly be arrested, whatever the case and whatever the charges, he could always get away with it easily" explained Rian, who eventually voiced out.

Arya stood up from her seat and turned to stare at the scene from up there as she was already starting to feel saturated with the perceived atmosphere.

"So, what's your real purpose here? Certainly not to discuss the events of that night or to comfort us, right?" guess Arya with a view that still enjoys the view.

"Haha! Exactly right! Your guess is absolutely correct!" puji Nanda's.

"No, it's just a coincidence,"

"So, I came here to tell you that the day after tomorrow all the second-grade students will be camping into Thousand Mountain for a few days. So, during the second grade of camping, I won't be at school either," 

"Slimmer? On the Thousand Mountain?" arya said with a bit of surprise.

"Why? Is something wrong?" 

"No, nothing."

Rian noticed the reaction Arya showed. Then, he spoke up to explain the purpose of the Aryan reaction.

"Kak Wulan was studying outside the city close to the location of Thousand Mountains," explained Rian.

"Ooo .. Is that so? Then Brother Wulan can go back there with us. But, about when is he going back to his campus?" 

"Free, last night he was back there, he said there was a sudden business that he had to finish immediately," Arya replied quickly because he did not want Nanda to be disappointed.

Nanda nodded his head slowly to understand, it was actually very hard for him if Wulan had to go back away that quickly, because there were still many things that he still had not had time to talk to her.

"It's a pity, when this is a rare opportunity to travel with him, hiks," said Nanda while acting to sweep tears that dripped out that actually did not exist in the slightest.

"So .. Now you live with three of them at home, right?" noda Nanda while pushing Arya slowly with her right elbow.

"What?" reply Arya who does not understand.

"There is no need to pretend not to know, some students in this school already know really,"

"Pretend what? Know what? Please say it clearly!"

"Rian! Explain it!" nanda orders with a bit of a snobbish style.

"Good!" 

Then Rian began to change his sitting position to be more serious and turned to look at Arya seriously as well.

"Arya, from the first day of Rena's schooling here, you start to look interested in her, even you also often look close to her. Therefore, we can also conclude that you may have a taste for her, is that true?"

"W-what?! That's not true at all! Rian, you better not believe such gossip!" Aryan.

"There's no shame, at your age it should be like that" teased Nanda again.

Arya gritted her teeth without even wanting to reply. Then, he gave up on arguing with her and spun both his eyes in the other direction.

"Just calm down, I will definitely support you," 

"Support what? There was nothing between us,"

Nanda's voice shrank and then she drew closer to Arya's ears. Instantly Arya was surprised by his actions and her face turned red for a moment when she heard his follow-up sentence in her ear.

"Don't you do anything about Rena when Romi's not around, yeah!"

The words he said made Arya upset and she quickly tried to catch Nanda. However, Nanda manages to evade him with a shrewdness and lands a right-handed fist into Aryan's heart in return.

"You're Nanda, you're Nanda…!!" arya grumbled while grimacing withstanding the pain in her heart.

Tiiinng …! Tiiinng …!

Nanda then immediately ran towards the door leading down because the bell sign ended break had just rang. However, before he got off, Nanda turned around for a moment and said something to Arya.

"On my blow I'm sorry. But, if what I said earlier, I'm not kidding. 

If you do something to Rena, then I'll beat you up myself! Remember that, Arya!" nanda said by suppressing the voice in her last sentence.

After that, Nanda went down the stairs and left the two of them. When Nanda was no longer seen, Arya breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, I know that the rumors are not true, I just wanted to try to follow the atmosphere" Rian explained, apologizing.

"Yes, I know that. It should have been so that you would have been more open to everyone," 

"Then, when are you going to shoot Nanda? I know you've loved it for a long time,"

"You're right, but I'll wait until I can be a hero in the 200,000-year prophecy. And when that comes, I will express my feelings to her.

"The time until then may be too long, but it's much better than my present me who is still weak and unreliable,"

"so yeah. So, how about after school we hunt agmar again? The deadline is also a few more days," Rian asked.

"I'm sorry, but I'll have some business to do on my own, we'll hunt it down tomorrow. After all, lately I have been unable to find level two agmar everywhere. 

"That always seemed to be just one kuntilanak in the front alley of the school and one pocong in the school toilet. All it takes is level two and up, right?" arya replied as she walked down the stairs.

Rian sensed that there was something Arya was hiding from him. But he did not want to ask any deeper and directly followed her down from the roof towards their classroom.

The lesson hours continued until finally the last lesson of the day was over. All students of Crow High School scattered out of class, some went straight home and some went to the library to do assignments even though there were only a few who did it.

Romi walks along the sidewalk with his close friend Danu. Along the way, the faces of the two of them looked uneasy with a downward-pointing look.

"Hey, Romi. How about we just run away?" take Danu.

Romi stopped his steps and raised his face slowly. Danu who felt astonished stopped and turned towards Romi who was slightly behind him.

"What's up, Rom?"

"You mean run away and go straight home to each of us? Even if we do, bad things will happen to us tomorrow" Romi replied.

"But, I feel like there'll be something bad going to happen if we go there,"

"Yes, you're right. If we run away we might survive today, but tomorrow at school we won't survive! They're gonna make tomorrow a lot worse than today if we don't get there, do you want to?" clearly Romi once again with detail.

"Te-of course not, but …,"

"But you have to stay there" continued someone who suddenly appeared from behind and grabbed Romi's shoulder.

The incident made Romi and Danu surprised. Their fur began to stand and their sweat came out of fear.
