It is impossible for this high intensity fight to go unnoticed by the crowd, right? If it is not seen directly, but they can still hear the noise caused, right?
That was the question that Feronica had now, and at that instant Stephen seemed to realize something, maybe he also had the same question with Feronica?
"Don't worry about that. " Freiss points his index finger upwards, more precisely to the sky.
"There's sky?"
"It doesn't seem that simple either Feronica...." Stephen disagreed with his colleague.
"Hm?" Feronica tilted her own head, and looked back at her teacher with lingering curiosity.
"The school's protective magic not only neutralizes the power from within, but also everything that happens within it, including the invisible magic power and also the sound it causes" Freiss explained, now the explanation sounds more understandable than before.
Feronica focused her eyes to see what was on it, and she could finally see the transparent magic protective circle that was in this area.
"Ah so!" Feronica punched a fist at her own palm, a sign she understood now.
"So there's nothing to worry about...." Stephen seemed happy too, because there was nothing to worry about about this sudden fight.
Feronica could sense there were two weak magic energies, which could be certain were the two teachers who had previously fought with a black-robed person.
From here Feronica knew that there was indeed so much effort made to get the uninvited guest to leave this place. There is a price to pay to make things calm again.
Feronica looked towards the two weak sources of magic energy, and indeed she could see Mr. Housen who was looking sharply from a distance, and Mr. Joseph who was still lying on the ground.
He should have no business here. He was no longer an academy student. Does his presence here really help? 'There were already end-level teachers who fought a black-robed person and in the end their efforts were not in vain.
Stephen was silent, his attention could not be separated from Feronica. Somehow he could still see the uncertainty felt from his current partner.
"What's wrong?"
"Well...." Feronica realized she was back in her daydream again.
'There's nothing, brother hehe...." Feronica scratched her non-itchy head.
"Thank you for your help Feronica." Freiss smiled gently. The smile without coercion that made Feronica feel meaningful here.

Meanwhile, Feronica and Stephen return from the academy after seeing the situation that has become normal again. Not that there was no damage due to the fight that took place earlier, there was a large enough hole in the ground and also other damage besides the school building that witnessed what happened earlier.
Along the way Feronica thought about what happened to her earlier. Hearing him do a good thing with a strange mark on his body was a relief, but in the end he could not guarantee what he did according to his own will.
'What is this ever-present red sign not a bad thing?' inner Feronica asked about this.
But reflecting from the previous case Feronica did not forget the fact that strange sign that made her have to stop school.
"Sorry Feronica...." Suddenly there was no wind without rain Stephen said something like this.
"Sorry for what?" Feronica's daydreams fell apart instantly, there was nothing left, now she wondered why her colleague apologized like this.
"I didn't do anything about it." Stephen looked at Feronica for a moment and then turned his eyes as if he regretted his decision.
"...." - ".Feronica. Because he did not remember anything that had happened, about the words of his companion, he did not think much about it.
"Ah, it's okay brother, the important thing is that everything can survive the incident...." Feronica gave a small smile which was then immediately seen by Stephen.
"But does big brother know the motive of that black-robed man?"
"He's my brother."
"Ah...."
Feronica did not completely forget the events that happened earlier, but still remembered some moments that one of them was this fact she heard.
But what had happened earlier passed so quickly that Feronica did not have time to process this fact in the field.
'If a black-robed man is Stephen's brother, is it possible....?'
"I don't know what he's planning."
But not so the truth. Even after what the teachers had gone through earlier, it was still not enough to dismantle what the mysterious black-robed man had planned.
And only the first time Feronica knew about this, the fact about a black-robed man was Stephen's older brother. He had never previously mentioned his family tree.
Feronica has no business with other people's families, and she believes Stephen has no intention of bringing up his own family members.
Privacy is important, right? Feronica knew and appreciated what her partner was talking about now.
Stephen was speechless, he didn't have much to say right now. It was too early to talk about what his brother had planned.
Remembering his brother's plan was so neatly hidden that Stephen didn't have much to say.
"...." - ".Feronica understood the silence that was happening here. He actually wanted to know more about the black-robed man, but at the same time he tried to undo his intentions.
It would be easier to discuss a mysterious cloaked man with Stephen's brother if he had nothing to do with him. They can freely discuss and dig into each other's information.
Again, things were not as expected. To know more about a black-robed man is difficult because Stephen's brother has a personal business here.
Feronica doesn't have much access to talk about this any more. No matter how many questions he had now.
Feronica slowly looked at how her comrades were doing now while they were still walking, and at once Stephen looked at her as well.
"Well...." Feronica immediately looked back to the front, when she was just curious what this colleague was thinking, but after a while, Stephen was not too pensive about this problem.
*
"I'm home...." Feronica opened the door slowly and saw her mother working as usual at her desk. Sewing clothes with all his heart of course.
"Welcome home." Elisabeth caught a glimpse of her daughter's arrival and returned to work as usual. A busy day as usual.
Feronica took off her footwear and immediately walked into the room. For him, time seems to spin very fast. It was late in the afternoon and the yellowish sunlight made his house look beautiful.
Feronica has always loved the atmosphere of a sunny afternoon like this, it feels so peaceful and pleasant.
Feronica went straight to her room and laid herself down.
'His strength is indeed from dark energy.it is no wonder that he has a relationship with Stephen.'
Feronica finally knew this fact. The existence of Stephen as a newcomer who just lived in the village is indeed a thing that has existed since the beginning. And the sudden appearance of the black-robed man with an unclear purpose left a new question.
'I don't think Stephen and his brother are in a good relationship....' Feronica had a simple conclusion here, which certainly is the purpose of his brother is different from Stephen himself.
Although the power emitted was the same, but Feronica could still feel the basic difference. Where Stephen tried to disguise his whereabouts, the black-robed man did not.
'Is something going on between them?' Feronica can only guess here, but the truth is that only Stephen knows.
Feronica slowly closed her eyes, it felt like many unexpected things were happening again, and out of her control. But now he had no intention of going back to blaming himself like before.
'If I really help there....'

- While it was on the other side near the Wolfden burial area. On the same day, in the evening.
'I can't hide from my sister anymore....'
'Where I go. There's always a way for him to find me....'
Stephen was sitting pondering near one of the large graves and trees in the area. Thinking back about his meeting with his own brother.
'And this time he didn't deal with me, but still....'
Stephen who in his plan did not want to deal with his brother in the end remained back in the moment like before.
'I want to live a new life .. without looking back....'
Stephen raised his right hand and held his own neck. His thirst really isn't kidding.
'I don't care .. I don't want to be who I used to be....'
