The Traitor: Relic War
Chp. 19 Two Cats Caged In Iron Cages In Tight Conditions

"Yosh!, this is the last one..." Zen glanced back where his shdow hand was seen holding a leather pouch that only had four pockets left.

So far he has delivered quickly and if you remember the location of the students the next location is the last location that will be visited by Zen, For the reaction of the appearance of Zen the disciples almost gave the same response as if they thought Zen was a ghost that appeared from the ground, more of them moved for Zen to take them to the finish line but everything was rejected.

"Good Night, are you hungry?" Zen surprised two female students who were sitting on the edge of a small lake near the forest while the other two appeared to be sleeping soundly under a tree.

"Who..." One of the women stood up and then was alert to the appearance of Zen who arrived, a natural reaction because at that time Zen's face was covered by the darkness of the night.

"Ah, it turns out that you are the last well Natsukawa Isuzu...." Recognizing the woman who was now wary of Zen walked over revealing his face more clearly.

"Zen Kanade's..."

"Yoo... Looks like you guys are almost there..."

"Foreign men..." The woman sitting near Isuzu's feet stood up then called out to Zen with a tone as well as a flat expression.

"My name is Zen Kanade, so change your nickname..." Zen's complaint about Yurina Oliver.

"What are you doing here... Do you intend to join our group..." Ask Isuzu.

"No-no... I have absolutely no such intention..."

"Why..."

"Well, I'm because I've reached the finish line and was assigned to deliver supplies to you..." Zen replied without confidence.

"Don't be stupid... You can't get that fast..." Resist Isuzu not believing what Zen said.

"That's right... You can't get to the finish line even if you use enchantment magic like me..." Sahut Yurina was still in a flat tone.

"Just believe it or not... It's not my duty to make you believe... Take this..." The shadow hand behind Zen moved forward carrying the two leather bags into Isuzu and Yurina's hands.

"That's your supply... Oh well, give this also to your sleeping friends..." Moving his shadow hand again Zen threw two more leather pouches on Isuzu.

"Where did you get this from..."

"I told you that I was told to deliver supplies to you by the overseers... Unfortunately you don't believe..." Zen shrugged his shoulders upwards giving an indifferent answer.

"Then take us with you... If you can get there quickly you should form a group and make it easier for all of us... Why do you just go alone..." Isuzu refuted the argument of Zen with a request similar to that of a disciple taking the Physical Test.

"Rejected..."

"Why?... You're so selfish Zen Kanade..."

"It's not Natsukawa Isuzu's egoist, but unfortunately I'm not your prince or anyone's prince so I don't deserve to be with anyone... Bye bye..." Zen's eyes panned sharply enough to put a little pressure on his speech then his tube slowly reentered the ground.

"Then, please finish the test well, Natsukawa Isuzu and also foreign women..." He said before disappearing completely from the front of Isuzu and Yurina.

Both of them silently stared at Zen's answer which might be like replying to Isuzu's treatment while they were in the palace.

The Physical Test ended on the second day of the afternoon where the group that first arrived after Zen were Natsukawa Isuzu and Yurina Oliver along with two others, their arrival received congratulations from Haley and Patricia, while Zen who was not far from the two gave a small applause while putting on a smile that seemed evil and cynical.

Some time lapse other groups also come in turns, alternately, and arrived at the last group that arrived was a group of 5 people who were the first group to be visited by Zen during the Delivery of Supplies.

"Congratulations for completing the Physical Test this time, to be honest the time you have taken to get here is still quite a long time than the previous student... But take it easy even though no one stops in the middle of the road and that alone has proven that you all have good physical strength and magic... For the last one I will wait for you in my room when I go home... Make sure you come... And for others I say congratulations once again because it has been successfully through physical tests... Take it easy when you return later your fatigue will disappear and follow your physical strength before being in this world..." Haley said that closing physical tests on days that might be moving into the night soon.

"We're back now..."

Mornings

"Good morning Princess Elize..." Sapa Zen with a little run to catch up with Elize who was walking in front of her alone while glancing right and left.

"For Zen..." Elize replied without returning Zen's gaze at all and continued to look around.

"What's Princess Elize?" Zen asked who was a little curious to watch Elize's movements might slightly put on a suspicious expression.

"Aware what?"

"Stupid look around you again..." Umpat Elize felt that Zen really did not feel anything.

Hearing Elize's words, Zen took a close look around him, keeping his eyes on him until he finally got an answer.

"true too.... Isn't it very quiet here for a city street in the morning..." Zen said first when he realized that from earlier there was not a single citizen in sight.

"That's it... There seems to be something strange here... I also felt like someone was watching us from far away..." Allegedly Elize may now be a little wary.

"Shadow Magic: Reach Enchancer" Zen Stop stepped up then cast his magic spell to search for who was escorting the two of them by using the expansion of the shadow magic area's range, the, where from the Magic Rapalan he can reach the area of the area where there are shadows including human shadows.

But when it was only a moment of searching, Zen opened his eyes with a slight jerk and it made Elize a little curious.

"What's Zen..."

"Daughter I'm going to ask you something important now..."

"What is that..."

"Is there perhaps a magic that could limit the amount of range... Or maybe magic can lock something in..." Zen asked with a serious face.

"There is no such magic... But if you're talking about magic tools it exists... If it's not wrong it's 'Barriere'... Its function is to lock something like sealing it, but it takes some tools to be able to lock an object... And the object inside the Barriere will be separated from the real world before the person who activates it loses control of magic..." Elize recalled what Zen had said.

"Thank you for the explanation... Now let's prove my estimate... [Shadow Magic: Confinement Of Being]" Taking out a few shadow hands, Zen charged into an alley that was quite close to the two of them.

Trankk's....

Zen's shadow hand reflected off as if it hit something that might be elastic enough, and left Elize wide-eyed.

"It seems like my guess is right... My range magic can't penetrate to the back of the building... And also you see for yourself, princess, that my attack was reflected..."

"You're right... This seems to be a deliberate act..."

"If it's like this we're like a cat locked in an iron cage and can't get out before the owner frees us..." Zen's voice now began to notice his surroundings with a quick sting.

"Good parable of Zen... Looks like we're being held here intentionally... Maybe something will happen at the academy... Can't you use your shadow shift so we can both get out of here?"

"Unfortunately, my magic range is limited by the Barriere... So it can't make it to the academy..."

"Then the only way is that..."

"Well, we need to find the owner of the cage to get out of here..." The two turned their backs on each other and put on a watchful attitude towards their surroundings.

Same time /Academy Shield

The atmosphere of the class seemed quite calm at that time, all students seemed to be learning on their own because the command on the board told them to learn on their own, because at that time all teachers will take meetings with other academies to discuss something.

Almost all students have attended and for class B alone only Zen's seat is still not filled because for now he is still stuck together with Elize.

Bruackk... The classroom door was destroyed because in a forced explosion from outside, shocking people who were in the classroom and were studying.

And after a while some people wearing strange masks entered simultaneously and pointed at the disciples with magic ready to be released at any time.

"Nobody dared to move... Or you'll all die here..." Threaten one of the men standing right in front of the blackboard while pointing his Magic at the disciples who had already started cowering fearfully in his chair.

"We're looking for Yurina Oliver... So whoever's name is Yurina Oliver we've ordered to turn himself in right now... And don't show any resistance..." His voice shouted very loudly.
