The Wiz
Chapter 20: Discussion

Zelden stared out the window in his room. Although his body was in that dim room, his mind floated far away. One of these days. For this one day, too many things had happened without him being able to prevent. Indeed, he lived in a world where, oddities were everyday food. However, this time it was too strange for him. No, even he is sure to make many people surprised to the confusion when in his position.

"Mr Zelden."

Zelden flinched, returning to his consciousness. Turning his chair slowly, he found two students who were the topic of conversation of almost everyone in the Academy. Smiling, Zelden pointed his right hand at the two seats in front of him. "Please sit down" he said. The two students followed. Directly landed their asses in front of Zelden. Which is only separated by a table made of teak wood.

"So, what important thing do you want to talk to the two of us, Principal?" ask black haired girl—Camoline— directly after sitting comfortably in a wooden chair. Zelden smiling. A little unexpected by the nature of the girl before him. However, he was not offended at all.

"I just want to make sure of something small. But before that, I want to ask. What level are you two at right now?" ask Zelden. Staring alternately at the two people in front of him. Camoline, a girl with abilities that are still a mystery, and Londer who is a successor to the Chromos Clan.

"41."

"38" said Londer and Camoline at the same time. The two glanced at each other before completely focusing their gaze towards Zelden who was stalling a smile.

"His mood, has your level increased? Are you guys back to fighting?" Camoline was silent. He is focusing on restoring his strength. So, Londer responded. The young man shrugged his shoulders. "Once again," he said.

Londer blinked his eyes a few times before returning to talk. "It just happened. Indeed, the improvement is not as fast as after we fought, but it is very profitable" said Londer. Zelden only nodded at a glance. Now his attention was focused on Camoline.

"And, Miss Camoline. Have you mastered that?" Camoline's head was raised. Both of his eyes were wide. Staring in disbelief at Zelden, who this time looked at him with a serious look. Although Zelden's questions are still ambiguous, Camoline can clearly capture what Zelden meant.

Sighing deeply, Camoline normalized the look on her face. He must not look suspicious in front of Londer who knows nothing. No, the man can't know about this. Thus, Camoline answered Zelden's question with a sledgehammer.

"Ah, I understand. Indeed, the thick ancient history book will certainly be very boring if it must be memorized in a short time," said Zelden. Making Londer who initially continued to look at Camoline suspiciously, immediately leaned her body quietly.

"Yes. You better mean it in this. Your sister, it really makes me almost crazy" Camoline said with annoyance. Zelden laughed at hearing that. To be honest, it was hard to hear the disciples' irritation towards Barcus. Because most of them were so afraid of his sister. It seemed, Barcus had already truly obtained a disciple worthy of his nature.

"Wait," Londer made the two people's attention turn to him, "Barcus is the sister of the Headmaster?" asked the young man, who made Zelden laugh even more loudly. Camoline rubbed her face rough. Didn't know he could meet a fool like this. He looked at Londer with his flat face. "All the disciples knew this already" he said, which made Londer throw away his gaze with a reddened face. I am ashamed of what I asked.

"Easy-after. Now, I'll say something," Zelden let out a long sigh, "can I expect more of you two? For our school's sake?" ask Zelden. Londer looked at Zelden back, while Camoline frowned incomprehensibly.

"meaning? Is, there going to be something bad against this academy?" ask Camoline curiously. Zelden fell silent, before nodding slowly. That's what his gut had been saying for a long time. Until now, there have been no signs that his premonition is reality. In addition to the fact that Camoline has something that is so targeted by everyone.

"Please say so. However, it is not wrong to be on guard too. Looking at the abilities of the two of you, I'm sure that the two of you can become the main pawns of this academy" explained Zelden. Londer nodded in understanding. His head turned towards Camoline who did not respond to anything.

"I understand. Why should we be new students? Why not our upperclassman?" ask the young man. Zelden smiling. Right, why don't students who have been in school here for a long time?

"Because I only saw that hope in you two." Camoline heard a rude snort. He folded both his hands on his chest.

"So? Am I going to remain a special disciple of Barcus again?" asked Camoline lazily. Zelden chuckles. He just remembered, if only his sister was the best in training for improvement. However, the lesson of becoming a fighting witch is not just that. "All the best teachers, will train the two of you specifically. Perhaps, they also already had each of their favorite disciples. So, I hope you will learn together well" replied Zelden.

Camoline nodded in understanding. Now, his strength had completely recovered. So, he could take a little look at what Zelden was thinking. But before that, he gasped in shock when Londer's right hand suddenly clasped his hand tightly. When he turned his head, the man still noticed Zelden's explanation. Camoline didn't know, the intent of what Londer was doing right now. Because he would not read Londer's mind again, after the incident in the hall earlier. Ignoring the young man she thought was strange, Camoline began to focus on her goal. After taking off Londer's hand, he began to read what Zelden was thinking.

However, once again Camoline did the pointless thing. He immediately stopped his power before Zelden realized it. Sighing deeply, he again noticed the conversation of the two men. Camoline was too late to listen after Zelden began to look back at her with a serious look. As Camoline concludes, Zelden will begin to discuss the gist of her reason for calling herself and Londer.

Either just the hunch, or also being felt by Londer. As Zelden began to open his voice to start a serious conversation, Camoline began to feel bad things were about to happen. No, but it might be happening.
