The Wiz
Chapter 9: The Secret

"Mr Barcus" cried Camoline as she was behind the schoolyard. Supposedly, the man was in this place like yesterday. But until now, he has not been able to find the bloated man.

"Ah, weird boy. Come here!"

Camoline snorted softly, but her feet kept walking following Barcus' direction. One thing Camoline realized since she set foot here was that the trees in this place were far more numerous than yesterday. About 10 new trees are visible, making the meadows here cooler.

"You're not taking your class, you freak?" barcus asked as soon as Camoline stopped right in front of him. Once again, Camoline snorted. He took a seat on the trunk of the tree that was in front of Barcus.

"No. The lesson was so incompatible with the elements that I mastered, that I was thrown out of class" Camoline said. Barcus laughed when he heard it. One name that immediately flashed across his head was Azura. The old woman was indeed an expert in expelling disciples for no reason.

"Then? Why are you approaching me?" Camoline handed him the thick book she had been carrying since earlier. Opens right on one of the pages that has plagued his mind since he discovered this book. Barcus frowned when he saw the book that Camoline had handed over. A book that looks so familiar in his eyes.

"I found this after Mr. Zelden's lesson. Don't know who the owner is. But that's not what matters. I'm curious about the intent on this page" Camoline said. Barcus nodded in understanding. He read the page at a glance, then looked back at Camoline.

"Nothing's wrong. It's true, if the white clan is leading the world right now."

Camoline threw away her face. Where did any Clan come back to life after all the clan members were slaughtered out by the opponent? What kind of joke is this? Camoline was truly enraged by this false statement. Someone, one of Aldus' accomplices must have changed the reality of history. Yeah, it must be like that.

"Is something wrong, Camoline?"

Camoline blinked her eyes, then turned to Barcus after the look on her face changed. To say who he is in this fast time is not a good thing. There will be a lot of bad things that happen if he is determined to do that. That's what Camoline thought all along. Until now, he had put on his innocent face.

"Can you tell me who wrote this?" ask Camoline. Barcus laughed at Camoline's stupid question. Yeah, to him Camoline's question was really stupid. Even without feeling the slightest guilt, he smacked Camoline's head slowly with the thick book in his hand. Of course Camoline grimaced right after. He rubbed his head a few times.

"Your level may be high, but your brain doesn't go with you" Barcus said. Camoline grunting. He regretted asking such a thing even though it was all that was in his head for Barcus to be completely unsuspecting of him.

"That sentence hurt both my ears." Barcus shuddered indifferently. He doesn't care about that. Placing the thick book next to him, he looked at Camoline with a more serious look than before. Made Camoline straighten her body.

"This time, let me tell you some things that have plagued my mind since yesterday." Camoline nodded, allowing Barcus to speak whatever it was. Barcus looked around, as if making sure that no one heard him. Apparently, this conversation really should be secret.

"You know for yourself, if my ability is to unleash anyone's power and see his power from within. But I see something different about you. Tell me, if in your body it is not the Opal stone that many people are looking for." Camoline's face became flat. The guess is correct, if Barcus could see the stone. Although he wasn't sure how clear Barcus saw it.

"You just absorbed a small portion of that sacred stone. Just one color, right?" Camoline answered nothing. He was still watching with Barcus with his flat face.

"You're really in great danger when the White Clan finds out about this. Before that happens, you should be able to absorb the power in the stone again. Let's just say, I'm a lunatic. However, I was very sure that the White Clan had bad intentions when the stone reached their hands. Although letting the stone continue to be inside your body, that's a pretty good thing. But it would be very good, if you could absorb it as well," Barcus explained. Camoline blinked her eyes a few times. Barcus' words make him very sure that Asdus is behind all this.

"Asdus. Is he still alive?"

It took a few seconds for Barcus to digest Camoline's words. Before the end, he nodded in.

"You're reincarnated? Explain what happened in your old days." Camoline took a long breath. Just now he was about to speak, but someone was even approaching towards them. It was still so far away, yet Camoline could feel it clearly. After improving his ability by reading books he borrowed from the library, his alertness level has now increased quite high.

"I'll tell you later. Someone's coming, "Camoline said. Barcus nodded in understanding as he felt the same way. The two of them kept quiet until they answered who had come.

Camoline snorted softly when she saw who was coming. He turned his eyes to the book next to Barcus and took it. It would be a lie to say that he found this book without knowing who the owner was. Because once he touched it, he immediately knew who the master of this book was. And surprisingly, the man approached her. Immediately, Camoline stretched out the book, as soon as the person stopped right next to her.

"I didn't say anything" said Londer. Yes, the one who came was Londer Chromos. Camoline clucking. He brought the book closer to Londer, making the man inevitably have to accept it.

"For you to leave immediately and I can increase my strength again" Camoline said in a lazy tone. Londer poked his shoulders unconcerned. He sat next to Camoline. Makes the girl even more upset.

"Mr Barcus, today I want to take your class" said Londer. Camoline looked at Londer in disbelief. He clucked in annoyance, stood up and was about to leave Londer. However, the red-haired man held him back.

"And it seems, it would be great if we could learn together" Londer said as he stared at Camoline.

"No. Our power is far different. Opposite each other. That's not—"

"That's a good idea, I think. You can fight each other to know each other's strengths for sure" Barcus said, cutting off Camoline's remarks. Camoline took a long breath. Although before, he had fought one of the witches from the Chromos clan, but he was not sure he could still do it. Moreover, his opponent this time was the successor of the clan leader.

"alright. I do have to know my abilities," said Camoline who was actually very forced. Londer smiled faintly. For some reason, the man's feelings warmed, especially when his eyes looked towards his hand that was still holding Camoline's hand without any rejection from the girl.
