A huge water bubble solidified in front of Talia. The water blob then changed its shape into a large fish figure that floated in the air. The fish then flowed into Ludwig's body filled with fire. All the flames that burned his body were extinguished. Not only that, the flow of water that now surrounds the young man slowly shimmered bluish.
The burns that filled Ludwig's body slowly healed on their own. For a few moments the blue glow continued to burn until finally all the skin of Ludwig who was burned back to normal. His body was smooth as if nothing had happened. Only his robe and clothes now looked ragged camping due to the charred marks burning.
After completing Ludwig's cure, the water flow again floated in the form of a large transparent blue fish. The fish spoke to Talia through telepathy in the girl's mind.
“Are you going to make a contract with me, Master?” asked the big fish looking at Talia with sparkling blue eyes.
Talia's tears are still standing. But the stuff has subsided. “Undine. I gave you the name Undine,” Talia said without thinking.
“Good, Master. Please call me whenever you need,” Undine said then vanished into drops of water that soaked the soil around Talia.
The girl looked back at Ludwig's condition. It was like sleeping on damp ground. His chest moved rhythmically up and down, signaling that the young man was still alive. Talia's worried not playing. Although all of Ludwig's wounds had healed, he could not calm down before Ludwig woke up.
Suddenly Ludwig's fingers began to twitch. The young man opened his eyes slowly and found Talia crying.
“You managed to call your second spirit,” commented Ludwig as soon as he woke up.
Talia started crying again. This time because he was relieved. He was relieved that Ludwig could still make sarcastic comments as he always did.
“Why did you do that?” sergeant Talia later.
“Then should I let you die?” Ludwig asked back as he got up and sat on the ground. Her body was dry despite having just been covered in water. He examined his entire body which had no more traces of wounds.
“You can tell the salamander to stop attacking,” Talia protests still with tears in her eyes.
“How can he hear me if you wrap it in a wad of water?” reply Ludwig hard.
“Tetap course ... it is dangerous. How about you die?” talia said as she wiped her tears.
Ludwig snorted softly. “Now you're worried about me? Don't you hate me? Choose one,” sahutnya light.
“I just don't want anyone to die because of me. Why are you calling such a dangerous animal.”
“You yourself asked. Never mind. Why do I have to wait for you to fight,” sighed Ludwig while clucking impatiently.
Talia was silent for a moment while looking at Ludwig fixedly. “Thank God you're okay. Thank you for saving me, and sorry for making you hurt,” the girl said softly.
Ludwig just smiled knot. One hand stretched out toward Talia's face, then gently wiped the girl's tears.
“If you want to be strong, you can't be weak like this. How can you confront others if you cry whenever your enemy is hurt,” Ludwig said with a gentle smile.
Talia was silent for a moment. He watched Ludwig for a while until he finally could not help asking.
Ludwig took off his hand that was touching Talia's face. He then smiled faintly as he looked at the girl with an elusive expression.
“Entahlah. You alone can judge me what kind of person,” replied the young man.
...***...
The events in the forbidden forest left Talia a little traumatized. Watching someone's body burn alive made the girl cringe. He dreamed about it until a few nights later. Even so, now Talia has managed to master the water spirit that she named Undine. Talia several times called the Undine in her room to have a conversation.
In its small version, the Undine resembles a palm-sized mini dolphin. The presence of the spirit made the air around Talia feel cool. Berberda with Smoke that can warm the temperature, even roasting it like sitting next to a large furnace. Smoke, knowing that Talia had a new spirit, immediately protested against Talia's policy of choosing a name.
“You gave him a meaningful name, but why does my name mean smoke – Smoke!” hardik. Talia just laughs every time Smoke talks about it.
Aside from Smoke's protests, no other problems occurred. Kyle, Susan and Leo are getting closer to him. The four of them always gather at mealtime or at other leisure times. Chatting together in the secret room where Talia for the first time shows Undine to them.
Susan and Leo immediately congratulated Talia. Kyle seemed distracted. Talia deliberately hid the fact about how she got the Undine. But Kyle's sharp instinct finally forced Talia to confess to the young man. Kyle pulled Talia from the crowd and brought the girl a four-eye talk in the deserted corridor.
“Honest. How did you get that water spirit?” kyle asked seriously.
“Why don't you trust me? I got it while training alone in the dormitory,” Talia insisted.
“Don't lie, Talia. Water spirits could only be summoned in situations that required help. Why are you so badly injured that the spirit can appear?”
Talia was stunned for a moment. “So all this time you know how to call that spirit, Kyle?” tanyanya could not believe it.
Kyle breathed impatiently. “I just don't want you to be in a dangerous situation until you get seriously injured,” Kyle reasoned. “Now that's not the case. Tell me how exactly can you call Undine?” continued firmly.
Urged like that, finally Talia confessed. It was inconceivable how furious Kyle was at knowing that.
“From everyone, why did you ask for his help? You can die, Talia Ortega,”, Kyle is full of emotion.
“But he saved me, Kyle. Ludwig who almost lost his life because of me,” Talia said trying to explain the situation he experienced that night.
“That's because he accidentally called a dangerous animal. That person probably already planned everything from the beginning.”
Talia rolled her eyes impatiently. “How could anyone plan such a terrible dangerous crazy thing for himself?”
“You yourself know how crazy that guy is. Stop defending. Have you forgotten all that man has done in the past? He even tried to hurt Leo,” Kyle said.
Talia is back. “You ... know it?” ask the girl.
“Which crazy person can send a monster with a tackle into the academy and not get punished?” Kyle asked back. “Listen to me, Talia. He's a dangerous man. Settled to meet. Don't get in touch with him again for any problems,” Kyle continued looking anxious. Talia could only take a deep breath. According to him, all members of the Gothe family are equally dangerous. Either Ludwig, or Kyle.
